A supramolecular near-infrared nanophotosensitizer from host-guest complex of lactose-capped pillar[5]arene with aza-BODIPY derivative for tumor eradication

A supramolecular NIR nanophotosensitizer for dual-modal imaging and ablation of tumors was constructed by loading disulfiram (DSF) into the vesicle from host–guest complex of lactose-capped pillar[5]arene (LacP5) with aza-BODIPY derivative (BSTA).
