Enhancing the solubility and bioactivity of anticancer drug tamoxifen by water-soluble pillar[6]arene-based host–guest complexation†
Abstract
A water-soluble pillar[6]arene functions as a solubilizing agent to enhance the solubility and bioactivity of poorly water-soluble anticancer drug tamoxifen by host–guest complexation between it and tamoxifen.
