In this study, the formation of supramolecular inclusion complex of doxorubicin (DOX), a high loading and pH-dependent delivery of DOX on β-CD dendrimer was studied. β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) dendrimer having β-CD in both periphery and core was prepared with entrapment efficiency using click reaction. The encapsulation property of the β-CD-dendrimer was investigated by DOX as model drug. The chemical construction of β-CD-dendrimer was described by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and FTIR and its inclusion complex construction was studied by FTIR, DSC, SEM, and DLS techniques. It was confirmed that β-CD dendrimer able to encapsulate DOX in solution; as a result, the designed complex revealed pH-dependent sustained release of DOX, in vitro. Also, the in vitro outcomes on T47D cells displayed that complexation of DOX with β-CD dendrimer involved an improvement of in vitro cytotoxicity and anticancer activity and this data appeared to be as a result of the developed solubility of the DOX.
