Abstract

Supramolecular nanogels cross-linked by host–guest interaction between dextran grafted benzimidazole (Dex-g-BM) and thiol-β-cyclodextrin were designed. Their special supramolecular pH-sensitivity under acidic conditions (pH < 6, within the range of malignant cellular endosomes) and reduction sensitivity in response to biologically relevant stimuli will be of great advantage to the future of cancer chemotherapeutics.
