A novel ternary drug delivery system (DDS) is constructed using a photodegradable anticancer prodrug ( Py‐Cbl ), a water‐soluble pillararene supramolecular container ( WP6 ), and the diblock copolymer methoxy‐poly(ethylene glycol) 114 ‐ block ‐poly( L ‐lysine hydrochloride) 200 . This DDS successfully addresses three important issues: enhancement of the water solubility of the anticancer prodrug; controlled release of the anticancer drug; accurate and quantitative measurement of the drug release.
