A new water-soluble hexacarboxylated tribenzotriquinacene derivative () was synthesized and used as a supramolecular drug carrier to load the model anticancer drugs dimethyl viologen () and doxorubicin () via host-guest interactions. The drugs could be effectively released by spermine (), a molecule overexpressed in cancer cells, through host-guest competitive substitution since has a stronger binding affinity toward than and . The host-guest interactions of the complexes of with , and were investigated by NMR spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. The association stoichiometry of the complexes of with , , and was found to be 1:1 with association constants of = (7.67 ± 0.34) × 10 M, = (6.81 ± 0.33) × 10 M, and = (5.09 ± 0.98) × 10 M, respectively. The competitive substitution process was visualized by NMR titration. This novel TBTQ-based host-guest drug delivery system may have potential use in supramolecular chemotherapy.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by cognitive decline, often attributed to the deficiency of acetylcholine, which can undergo hydrolysis by acetylcholinesterase (AChE) within the biological milieu. Here, we report a supramolecular strategy that takes advantage of confinement effects to inhibit such a hydrolysis process, shedding some light on AD therapy. A water-soluble and bowl-shaped molecule, hexacarboxylated tribenzotriquinacene (TBTQ-C6), was employed to shield acetylcholine (G1) from enzymatic degradation through host-guest binding interactions.
