The tendency for the formation of nanoparticles in the system pillar[5]arene 3 and Ag+ with increasing Ag+ concentration was additionally confirmed by the hydrodynamic radius of the 3/Ag+ associates calculated using the Stokes–Einstein equation (Supporting Information File 1, Figure

• cancer cells; paclitaxel; supramolecular complex; Review Introduction As a means of delivering a drug to a target effectively, the enhanced permeation and retention (EPR) effect and reticuloendothelial system (RES) were enabled by using a polymer drug delivery system (DDS), and it is thought to

• –dextran in various cells [17]. A supramolecular complex of DDMC/PTX was formed by using PTX as a guest and DDMC as host. Positive allosteric promotion and substrate selectivity was expected for this supramolecular complex. Indeed, the DDMC/PTX complex exerted a remarkable therapeutic effect on a PTX

• . Thermal analysis of the supramolecular DDMC/PTX complex The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements of the DDMC/PTX supramolecular complex and PTX are shown in Figure 2. Sample 4 exhibits three characteristic endothermic and one additional exothermic peak. A description of the peaks is given
