Poly(pseudo)rotaxane (PPR) nanoparticles was facilely prepared using poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) modified with protoporphyrin (PpIX) and α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) via host-guest interaction, the effect of α-CD number on the nanoparticle properties was investigated. The PEG with protoporphyrin (PEG-PpIX) end capping was synthesized via coupling reaction and the poly(pseudo)rotaxane nanoparticles with different amount of α-CD were fabricated by host-guest interaction between mPEG-PpIX and α-CDs. The final product was characterized by nuclear magnetic spectrum (H NMR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscope (AFM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The results showed that the poly(pseudo)rotaxane nanoparticles with uniform spherical shape was successfully prepared and doxorubicin (DOX) could be efficiently encapsulated in the nanoparticles. The amount of α-CDs in poly(pseudo)rotaxane nanoparticles was proportional to micellar size and drug release rate. The nanoparticles with higher α-CD number showed better anticancer efficacy in half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC) test. The cell internalization efficiency of DOX-loaded poly(pseudo)rotaxane nanoparticles could be further improved by lowering the α-CD number to receive smaller nanoparticle size.

Biomolecules may undergo dynamic transitions between different aggregation states in order to adapt to the microenvironment. As a result, appropriate biofunctions can be performed only under certain states. This feature inspires exploration for constructing and regulating environmentally adaptive materials through supramolecular ways.

Aqueous supramolecular long-lived near-infrared (NIR) material is highly attractive but still remains great challenge. Herein, we report cucurbit[8]uril confinement-based secondary coassembly for achieving NIR phosphorescence energy transfer in water, which is fabricated from dicationic dodecyl-chain-bridged 4-(4-bromophenyl)-pyridine derivative (G), cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]), and polyelectrolyte poly(4-styrene-sulfonic sodium) (PSS) via the hierarchical confinement strategy. As compared to the dumbbell-shaped G, the formation of unprecedented linear polypseudorotaxane G⊂CB[8] with nanofiber morphology engenders an emerging phosphorescent emission at 510 nm due to the macrocyclic confinement effect.

Chitosan (Chs)-salicylaldehyde (Sal) polymer derivatives were formed via the reaction of Chs-Sal with zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD). These polymers were synthesized through inclusion with β-CD and doping with ZnO NPs to give pseudopolyrotaxane and Chs-Sal/ZnO NPs composite, respectively, for low-temperature detection and sensing of NH vapors as great significance in environmental control and human health. Additionally, the polymer (Chs-Sal/β-CD/ZnO NPs) was prepared via the insertion of generated composite (Chs-Sal/ZnO NPs) through β-cyclodextrin ring.

Chronic wounds (CWs) are a growing issue for the health care system. Their treatment requires a synergic approach to reduce both inflammation and the bacterial burden. In this work, a promising system for treating CWs was developed, comprising cobalt-lignin nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in a supramolecular (SM) hydrogel.

Two-photon supramolecular assembly with near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence emission is constructed from tetraphenylethene derivative possessing methoxyl and vinyl pyridine salt (TPE-2SP), cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]), and β-cyclodextrin modified hyaluronic acid (HA-CD). The obtained experimental results indicate that the TPE-2SP exhibits a very weak fluorescence emission at 650 nm, and then complexes with cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) to form 1:2 supramolecular pseudorotaxane with an enhanced NIR fluorescence emission at 660 nm. Compared with CB[7], CB[8] can assemble with TPE-2SP to be two-axial netlike pseudopolyrotaxane, resulting in close packing to increase TPE-2SP fluorescence emission with a redshift of 30 nm.
