Cyclodextrins (CDs) are a class of cyclic oligosaccharides with six to eight D-glucose units and widely applied in many fields of chemistry and biology. This review deals with the representative contributions in the construction of some bioactive cyclodextrin-based supramolecular assemblies, including cyclodextrin polypseudorotaxane, cyclodextrin/gold nanoparticle assembly, cyclodextrin/fullerene assembly, cyclodextrin/carbon nanotube assembly, and their interactions with nucleic acids,
