The self-assembled folate-biotin-pullulan (FBP) nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by facile one-pot synthesis and their physicochemical properties were characterized. The self-assembled FBP NPs were used as an anticancer drug nanocarrier entrapping doxorubicin (DOX) for targeting folate-receptors-overexpressing cancer cells. The identification of prepared NPs to folate-receptor-expressing cancer cells (KB cells) was affirmed by cell viability measurement, folate competition test, and flow cytometric analysis. Compared with the naked DOX and DOX/BP NPs, the DOX/FBP NPs had lower IC50value compared to KB cells as a result of the folate-receptor-mediated endocytosis process. The cytotoxicity of DOX/FBP NPs to KB cells could be inhibited competitively by free folate. The cellular intake pattern of naked DOX and drug-loaded NPs was identified by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) observation and the higher cellular uptake of drug for DOX/FBP NPs over naked DOX was observed. The prepared FBP NPs had the potential to be used as a powerful carrier to target anticancer drugs to folate-receptor-expressing tumor cells and reduce cytotoxicity to normal tissues.

This article reports an alternative method for preparing nitrones using a tetrahedral capsule as a nanoreactor in water. Using the hydrophobic cavity of the capsule allowed us to reduce the reaction times and easily separate the nitrones from the reaction mixture, obtaining reaction yields equal or comparable to those obtained with the methods already reported. Furthermore, at the basis of this methodology, there is an eco-friendly approach carried out that can certainly be extended to other synthesis methods for the preparation of other substrates by exploiting various types of macrocyclic hosts, suitably designed and widely used in supramolecular chemistry.
