A new kind of negatively charged polymer-shielded supramolecular nano-micelles with dual-responsive property was designed for tumor treatment, which was prepared on the basis of adamantane terminated linear PAsp(DIP) and disulfide-β-cyclodextrin-terminated PAsp(EDA). The supramolecular nano-micelles comprised a 2,3-dimethylmaleic anhydride (DA) protective layer to stabilize the micelles, a pH-responsive core to package hydrophobic model drugs, and a disulfide-crosslinked interlayer to shackle the core against drug leakage under normal physiological conditions. After arriving at the tumor tissue via EPR, the targeting function could be turned on by dislodging DA groups on the surface of micelles, which allowed the drug-loaded nano-micelles to be easily phagocytized by the tumor cells, and then release the drug inside the cells induced by the increased glutathione level and acidic pH. The results indicated that the charge-conversional dual-responsive supramolecular nano-micelles showed excellent antitumor activity.

Objective: To prepare supramolecular photosensitizer that can be retained at the site of tumors and that has high light conversion efficiency so as to improve the efficacy of tumor photodynamic therapy (PDT).
Methods: A covalent organic framework material based on amino tetraphenyl porphyrin (Tapp), henceforth referred to as Tapp-COF, was synthesized. The spectral characteristics, energy gap characteristics and singlet oxygen generation ability of the material were characterized.

Carbohydrate-lectin interactions and glycol-molecule-driven self-assembly are powerful yet challenging strategies to create supramolecular nanostructures for biomedical applications. Herein, we develop a modular approach of micellization with a small molecular mannosylated-calix[4]arene synthetic core, CA-Man3, to generate nano-micelles, CA-Man3-NPs, which can target cancer cell surface receptors and facilitate the delivery of hydrophobic cargo. The oligomeric nature of the calix[4]arene enables the dynamic self-assembly of calix[4]arene (CA), where an amphiphile, functionalized with mannose units (CA-glycoconjugates) in the upper rim and alkylated lower rim, afforded the CA-Man3-NPs in a controllable manner.
