A new water-soluble hexacarboxylated tribenzotriquinacene derivative (<b>TBTQ-CB6</b>) was synthesized and used as a supramolecular drug carrier to load the model anticancer drugs dimethyl viologen (<b>MV</b>) and doxorubicin (<b>DOX</b>) via host-guest interactions. The drugs could be effectively released by spermine (<b>SM</b>), a molecule overexpressed in cancer cells, through host-guest competitive substitution since <b>TBTQ-CB6</b> has a stronger binding affinity toward <b>SM</b> than <b>MV ...[more]
