Water-soluble pillar[6]arene (WP6) was used to solubilize camptothecin family antitumor drugs. In the presence of WP6, the solubility of camptothecin (CPT) and 10-hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) was enhanced by 380 and 40 times, respectively. The solubility enhancement is proved to be the result of the host-guest encapsulation by WP6. WP6 has a low cytotoxicity against normal MC 3T3-E1 cells, whereas the bioactivity of CPT and HCPT is substantially improved as a result of the solubility enhancement. ...[more]
