Abstract
Photosensitizers with high photocleavage ability are urgently needed to improve photodynamic therapy efficacy. Herein, a supramolecular complex was constructed through host-guest self-assembly using hexa-β-CD-appended ruthenium polypyridyl (6CD-Ru) and adamantane-modified anthracene (ADA-AN) in water. The targeted DNA-intercalation of peripheral anthracenes can remarkably enhance photocleavage ability and antitumor activity of the complex irradiated with visible light.
