The successful self-assembly of a stimuli-responsive aqueous supramolecular hyperbranched polymer from small molecules and the macrocyclic host cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) is reported. This self-healing supramolecular network can act as a soft matter barrier at liquid–liquid interfaces.

Abstract: Stimuli responsive nanocarriers are gaining much attention due to its versatile multifunctional activities including disease diagnosis and treatment. Recently, clinical applications of nano drug delivery systems for cancer treatment make a considerable challenge due to its limited cellular uptake, low bioavailability, poor targetability, stability issues, and unfavourable pharmacokinetics. To overcome these issues researchers are focussing on stimuli responsive systems. Nano carriers elicit its role through endogenous (pH, temperature, enzyme and redox) or exogenous (temperature, light, magnetic field, ultrasound) stimulus. These systems were designed to overcome the shortcomings such as non-specificity and toxicity associated with the conventional drug delivery systems. The pH variation between healthy cells and tumor microenvironment creates a platform towards the generation of pH sensitive nano delivery systems. Herein, we propose to present an overview of various internal and external stimuli responsive behavior based drug delivery systems. Herein the present review will focus specifically on the significance of various pH- responsive nanomaterials such as polymeric nanoparticles, nano micelles, inorganic based pH sensitive drug delivery carriers such as calcium phosphate nanoparticles, and carbon dots in cancer treatment. Moreover, this review elaborates the recent findings on pH based stimuli responsive drug delivery system with special emphasis towards our reported stimuli responsive systems for cancer treatment.

Self-immolative polymers (SIPs) are a class of degradable stimuli-responsive polymers, which, upon removal of labile end-caps, depolymerize selectively and stepwise to small molecules.

Chitosan is functionalized with oxidative stress-sensitive thioketal entities in a one-pot methodology, and self-assembled into drugs or protein loaded dual stimuli responsive nanoparticles, which kill glioblastoma cells and increase nerve outgrowth.
