While this molecular platform serves very efficiently as a light-triggered broad-spectrum antibacterial agent, owing to its negligible dark cytotoxicity and the presence of host molecules (CB7), it can also be utilized as a vehicle to carry drug molecules for a combined chemo and photodynamic cancer therapy.EnglishChemo-photodynamic dual cancer therapyCucurbiturilDrug deliveryMultifunctional molecular platformPhotodynamic antimicrobial therapyPhotosensitizerPorphyrinArticle10.1021/acsabm.9b00763
