This review centers on drug delivery systems built from host-guest supramolecular recognition. These systems use preferential host-guest association as a design element rather than only as a formulation excipient.

In therapeutic use, host-guest complexes have primarily been applied as excipients to enhance solubility or improve stability of drug formulations.
Quoted textsource-backed
In the context of their therapeutic use, the primary application of these complexes has been as excipients which enhance the solubility or improve the stability of drug formulations, primarily in a vial.
Host-guest interactions may be leveraged beyond excipient roles by using their affinity, specificity, and dynamics for smarter therapeutic designs.
Quoted textsource-backed
However, there may be opportunities to go significantly beyond such a role and leverage key features of the affinity, specificity, and dynamics of the interaction itself toward "smarter" therapeutic designs.
Molecular-scale stimuli-responsive host-guest approaches offer new chemistry and material design tools for improving precision in drug delivery.
