Evaluation of the stability of cucurbit[8]uril-based ternary host−guest complexation in physiological environment and the fabrication of a supramolecular theranostic nanomedicine

Abstract

Arising from the host-enhanced charge-transfer interactions, the CB[8]-based ternary recognition was stable enough in physiological environment, which was suitable for the fabrication of supramolecular nanotheranostics showing promising potentials in precise cancer diagnosis and therapy.
