Abstract
A hyaluronidase-responsive polysaccharide supramolecular assembly was constructed from an amphiphilic β-cyclodextrin bearing seven hexylimidazolium units (AMCD), adamantyl-grafted hyaluronic acid, and chlorambucil, which showed specific cancer cell targeting and controlled drug release abilities. Interestingly, ternary supramolecular assembly can disassemble in the presence of hyaluronidase, and the released AMCD can assemble with ATP to form a stable 1 : 1 complex, which enhanced the efficacy of chlorambucil on cancer chemotherapy by inhibiting ATP hydrolysis.
