Summary: The study focuses on the kinetics of a water-soluble host-guest system based on cucurbit[8]uril and two DTE photoswitches, demonstrating a method to control the binding kinetics in supramolecular systems using external stimuli. By modifying the structure of the DTE guest molecule, it is possible to significantly slow down the formation/dissociation rates of pseudorotaxane structures, leading to the emergence of a competitive metastable product with important impact on the overall binding kinetics. Additionally, the dissociation kinetics of the host-guest system can be controlled by approximately 100-fold by switching between closed and open DTE isomers.

Summary: Inspired by the attraction of fruit flies to polyamines in rotten food, a bio-orthogonal supramolecular homing and hunting strategy was developed. This strategy utilized the elevated levels of polyamines in tumors as natural guest cues to attract CB[7]-functionalized liposomes, resulting in high targeting efficiency, better tissue penetration, and retention in breast tumors. This approach, which uses a receptor functionalized nanomedicine to target endogenous biomarkers in a bio-orthogonal manner, offers new insights for the design of chemotaxis-guided nanoformulations.

Summary: Chemotherapy based on molecular drugs is commonly used for tumor therapy, but its lack of specificity, severe side effects, and tumor resistance hinder its applications. This study introduces a drug-free tumor therapy approach involving spermine-responsive intracellular biomineralization. By designing calcium carbonate nanoparticles capped with folic acid and supramolecular peptides, these nanoparticles can target tumor cells and self-aggregate into micron-sized CaCO3 aggregates in tumor cells with overexpressed spermine. The extended intracellular retention of CaCO3 aggregates can induce intracellular biomineralization and Ca2+ overload, leading to mitochondrial damage and cellular apoptosis, effectively inhibiting tumor growth without serious side effects seen in conventional chemotherapy.

Summary: Dual-or multi-modality combination therapy is an effective strategy to overcome drug resistance in cancer therapy. However, the lack of a facile method to optimize the ratio of therapeutic agents in nanomedicine has impaired the clinical potential of combination therapy. In this study, a new nanomedicine platform was developed using CB[7]-conjugated HA, which allowed for non-covalent co-loading of Ce6 and OX at an optimized ratio. The platform also enabled targeted delivery to cancer cells and provided insights into optimizing the ratio of therapeutic agents in multi-modality nanomedicine.
