Biochemistry of anionic calix[n]arenes

This review treats the biological properties of the various anionic calix[n]arenes, both as soluble forms and in the colloidal state. The complexation of these molecules with amino-acids, peptides and proteins is discussed, as is their interaction with model membranes. The complexations with various Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients as complexes, for tamoxifen as solid state and colloidal structures, are treated in depth. Two sections deal with the direct biological action of the calix[n]arenes and their use as biosensors. A final section deals with the toxicity, in reality the lack of toxicity of the calix[n]arenes.     

Complexation of fullerenes by calix[n]arenes: molecular dynamic simulations and benesi-hildebrandequilibrium constants

MD simulations using a combination of AMI and AMBER are performed to elucidate the origin of complexation between fullerenes and calix[n]arenes (n = 4,6,8). Only calix[6]arenes and calix[8]arenes are suitable for complex formation. By introducing benzyl substitutents on the upper rim of the calixarenes the interaction energy between host and guest is even improved. Analysis of the data also reveals a strong stabilization by t-butyl or benzyl substitutents beside π-π interactions between the arene units of the calixarene and fullerenes. The calculated data perfectly correlate with the experimentally observed equilibrium constants.     

Facile synthesis of oligophenylene-substituted calix[4]arenes and their enhanced binding properties

[reaction: see text] A facile and efficient protocol for the synthesis of oligophenylene OPP(n)-substituted calix[4]arenes (with n up to 4) via iodo-substituted oligoarylcalix[4]arenes has been developed. The cooperation effect of the proximate fluoroionophores in hexylsulfanyl end-capped OPP(n)-substituted calix[4]arene assemblies leads to metal ion binding enhancement.     

Salt-Bridge Supported Bilayer Lipid Membrane Modified with Calix[n]arenes as Alkali Cation Sensors

ABSTRACT

Potentiometric behaviors of a salt-bridge supported bilayer lipid membrane (Sb-BLM) modified with Calix[n]arene (n=4, 6, 8) derivatives are described for some alkali metal ions. The modified Sb-BLM was used as an alkali cation sensor. The membrane potentials were observed to generate Nernstian responses to the concentration of alkali metal ions in electrolyte. The Sb-BLM modified with the calix[n]arenes show high selectivity for individual alkali metal ions: Calix[8]arenes for K⁺, calix[6]arenes for Cs⁺ Calix[4]arenes show no selectivity for any alkali ions. The interacting mechanism is also discussed.     

A paradigm shift in the construction of heterobimetallic complexes: synthesis of group 2 & 4 metal-calix[6]arene complexes

Deprotonation of calix[6]arenes with barium in methanol followed by the addition of [Ti(OPr(i))(4)] or [Zr(OBu(n))(4)] is effective in the formation of novel dimeric 2:1 barium-titanium(IV)/zirconium(IV) calix[6]arene complexes. In these complexes a central Ti(IV)/Zr(IV) coordinated in the exo-position connects the two calix[6]arenes in the 1,3-alternate conformation, each with an endo-barium sharing common phenolate groups with the titanium/zirconium centre and participating in cation-pi interactions. A homometallic barium calix[6]arene dimer was also prepared wherein the calix[6]arenes are in the 1,3-alternate conformation with each coordinating one endo- and one exo-barium centre. The exo-barium cations connect the two calix[6]arenes through bridging methanol ligands. In this and the heterometallic complexes, cation-pi complexation of the Ba(2+) ion within the 1,3 alternate conformation of calix[6]arene facilitates the formation of the dimeric complexes in methanol. In contrast, the smaller Sr(2+) ion did not form similar complexes in methanol, and the formation of an analogous 2:1 strontium-titanium calixarene complex required the use of the more sterically demanding donor alcohol, isopropanol, the resulting complex being devoid of cation-pi interaction. The results show (i) that a subtle interplay of solvation strength, coordination array type and cavity/cation size influences the accessibility of heterobimetallic complexes based on calix[6]arenes, and (ii) a synergistic endo-exo binding behaviour.

Preparation and Evaluation of Calix[8]arene Bonded Silica Stationary Phase for High Performance Liquid Chromatography

In recent years, calix[n]arenes (n=4,5,6,7,8) as stationary phase have been introduced into the field of chromatography. In our previous works, we have synthesized, characterized and evaluated two different silica-bonded calix[n]arenes (n=4,6) stationary phase, on which the chromatographic behavior of PAHs, positional isomers,nucleosides and bases was investigated. In this paper we report the preparation of calix[8]arene bonded silica stationary phase, and characterization of its structure and chromatographic behavior.

Calixarene-based surfactants: evidence of structural reorganization upon micellization

The self-aggregation of five amphiphilic p-sulfonatocalix[n]arenes bearing alkyl chains at the lower rim was investigated by NMR spectroscopy and electrical conductivity. The critical micelle concentration was determined, and the tendency of this special class of surfactants to self-aggregate in aqueous solution was analyzed as a function of the alkyl chain length and the number of aromatic units in the macrocyclic ring. The structure of the surfactants in the monomeric and micellized states was elucidated by means of (1)H NMR and, in the case of the calix[6]arene derivative, with 2D NMR experiments. While all amphiphilic calix[4]arenes studied here are blocked in the cone conformation, in the monomeric state the calix[6]arene adopts a pseudo-1,2,3-alternate conformation and the calix[8]arene is conformationally mobile. These calixarenes undergo an aggregation-induced conformational change, adopting the cone conformation in the micelles. The structure and size of the aggregates were studied by diffusion ordered spectroscopy (DOSY) experiments, and the results indicate that these surfactants self-assemble into ellipsoidal micelles.     

Uranium(IV) complexes of calix[n]arenes (n = 4, 6 and 8)

Reaction of UCl4 with calix[n]arenes (n = 4, 6 and 8) in THF or pyridine gave the mononuclear [UCl2(calix[4]arene--2H)(THF)2], bis-binuclear [U2Cl2(calix[6]arene--6H)(THF)3]2 and trinuclear [Hpy]6[U3Cl11(calix[8]arene--7H)] complexes, respectively, which are the first U(IV) complexes of O-unsubstituted calixarenes.     

Multinuclear calixarene synthons with covalently linked aryl-palladium(II) complexes

New synthetic procedures have been developed for potentially useful metallacalixarene building blocks. The metal sites were covalently connected to calix[n]arenes (n = 4, 6) by oxidative addition of 4-iodobenzyl precursors to either Pd(PPh(3))(4) or Pd(2)(dba)(3)/tmeda (dba = dibenzylideneacetone) to furnish calixarene-modified aryl-Pd(II)I(L(n)()) complexes [L(n)() = bis-PPh(3) or N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (tmeda)]. Methods were explored for the selective preparation of mono-Pd(II)-calix[4]arene and di-Pd(II)-calix[n]arenes (n = 4 or 6) complexes and also for bifunctional calix[4]arene synthons with two Pd(II) complexes accompanied by 4-pyridylmethyl or 4-cyanobenzyl groups. The properties of the Pd(II)-calix[n]arenes were studied in detail by one- and two-dimensional NMR and mass spectrometric techniques. The X-ray molecular structures of two 4-iodobenzylcalix[4]arene precursors were also determined.     

Synthesis of amine, halide, and pyridinium terminated 2-alkyl-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arenes

The synthesis of calix[4]arenes with functional groups tethered to a single methylene bridge has been explored. Mono-lithiated calix[4]arenes react with 1,ω-bromochloroalkanes to give 2-(ω-chloroalkyl)-calix[4]arenes, which function as key intermediates in the synthesis of a variety of tether-functionalized calix[4]arenes. Subsequent reactivity of these chloroalkyl species has allowed for successful synthesis of 2-(ω-iodoalkyl)-calix[4]arenes, 2-(ω-pyridiniumalkyl)-calix[4]arenes, and 2-(ω-aminoalkyl)-calix[4]arenes. This latter group of amine-terminated calix[4]arenes are especially significant as they may serve as useful entries to a wide range of subsequent chemistry, including metal coordination or attachment to a solid support. Both alkyl and aryl amines have been incorporated at the end of the tether, and a 2,6-diisopropylaniline derivative has been analyzed by X-ray diffraction.     

Guest encapsulation and self-assembly of molecular capsules in polar solvents via multiple ionic interactions

Herein we report the formation and characterization of a novel type of capsules resulting from the self-association between oppositely charged complementary building blocks in MeOH/H2O. The assembly is based on the interaction between tetraamidinium calix[4]arenes 1a-d and tetrasulfonato calix[4]arene 2. Evidence for the formation of the expected 1:1 assemblies is provided by proton NMR, ESI-MS, and ITC. The association process is fast on the NMR time scale and strongly entropy driven, with association constants in the range of 10(6) M-1. The system 1a.2 shows binding affinity toward acetylcholine, tetramethylammonium, and N-methylquinuclidinium cations.     

Supramolecular polymeric complexes of calix[8]arenes

Formation of ionic complexes of calix[8]arenes with polymers of various basicities was studied, and previously unknown ternary polymeric complexes of calix[8]arenes of the ion-ion (polymer-calixarene-uranyl ion) and ion-hydrophilic molecule-hydrophobic molecule (polymer-calixarene-fullerene) types were prepared.     

Electrochemical Studies of Calixarene-[60]Fullerene Inclusion Processes

[60]Fullerene (C₆₀)-calix[n]areneinteractions were studied in toluene:MeCN = 10:1 (v/v)using an electrochemical method. In the presence ofhomooxacalix[3]arenes and calix[5]arenes, bothE_pc and _pa shifted to the negativepotential, whereas they were scarcely affected by theaddition of calix[4]arenes. The₂values electrochemically determined forthe association with C₆₀ ^- are generallysmaller than the ₁ valuesspectroscopically determined for the association withC₆₀. The tendency indicates that thecharge-transfer-type interaction is one of thedriving forces for C₆₀ inclusion.thanks|Author for correspondence     

Thermodynamic parameters of sublimation of calix[4]arenes

The temperature dependences of the vapor pressure of calix[4]arenes were determined by the Knudsen effusion method. Some calix[4]arenes can form congruently subliming intramolecular compounds with a solvent. The thermodynamic parameters of the sublimation of the compounds were calculated. Molecules of organic solvents incorporated in the cavity of calix[4]arenes stabilize the crystal lattice, increasing the enthalpy of sublimation. The electrostatic interactions presumably make a significant contribution to stabilization of the crystal lattice of stoichiometric complexes of calix[4]arenes with solvents.
