We report investigations of the use of cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) macrocycles as an antidote to counteract the in vivo biological effects of phencyclidine. We investigate the binding of CB[8] and its derivative Me<sub>4</sub> CB[8] toward ten drugs of abuse (3-9, 12-14) by a combination of <sup>1</sup> H NMR spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry in phosphate buffered water. We find that the cavity of CB[8] and Me<sub>4</sub> CB[8] are able to encapsulate the 1-amino-1-aryl-cyclohexane r ...[more]
