Abstract
Encapsulation of a physiologically active substance, sanguinarine (SA), by a water soluble carboxylatopillar[6]arene (CP6A), is described. The efficient complexation by CP6A, giving a Ka value of (2.4 ± 0.3) × 105 M-1 in pH 7.4, served to increase the water solubility by 4.3-fold, cause a 2.02 shift in pKa, and enhance the antibacterial activity of SA.
