Abstract
The formation of calixarene-based liposomes was investigated, and the characterization of these nanostructures was carried out using several techniques. Four amphiphilic calixarenes were used. The length of the hydrophobic chains attached to the lower rim as well as the nature of the polar group present in the upper rim of the calixarenes were varied. The lipid bilayer was formed with one calixarene and with the phospholipid 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, DOPE. The cytotoxicity of the liposomes for various cell lines was also studied. From the results obtained, the liposomes formed with the least cytotoxic calixarene, (TEAC12)4, were used as nanocarriers of both nucleic acids and the antineoplastic drug doxorubicin, DOX. Results showed that (TEAC12)4/DOPE/p-EGFP-C1 lipoplexes, of a given composition, can transfect the genetic material, although the transfection efficiency substantially increases in the presence of an additional amount of DOPE as coadjuvant. On the other hand, the (TEAC12)4/DOPE liposomes present a high doxorubicin encapsulation efficiency, and a slow controlled release, which could diminish the side effects of the drug.

Abstract
The interaction between meloxicam and sulfonatocalix [4] naphthalene was investigated to improve the meloxicam solubility and its dissolution performance. Solubility behavior was investigated in distilled water (DW) and at different pH conditions. Besides, solid systems were prepared in a 1:1 molar ratio using coevaporate, kneading, and simple physical mixture techniques. Further, they were characterized by PXRD, FT-IR, DCS, and TGA. In vitro dissolution rate for coevaporate, kneaded, and physical mixture powders were also investigated. Solubility study revealed that meloxicam solubility significantly increased about 23.99 folds at phosphate buffer of pH 7.4 in the presence of sulfonatocalix [4] naphthalene. The solubility phase diagram was classified as AL type, indicating the formation of 1:1 stoichiometric inclusion complex. PXRD, FT-IR, DCS, and TGA pointed out the formation of an inclusion complex between meloxicam and sulfonatocalix [4] naphthalene solid powders prepared using coevaporate technique. In addition, in vitro meloxicam dissolution studies revealed an improvement of the drug dissolution rate. Furthermore, a significantly higher drug release (p ≤ 0.05) and a complete dissolution was achieved during the first 10 min compared with the other solid powders and commercial meloxicam product. The coevaporate product has the highest increasing dissolution fold and RDR10 in the investigated media, with average values ranging from 5.4-65.28 folds and 7.3-90.7, respectively. In conclusion, sulfonatocalix [4] naphthalene is a promising host carrier for enhancing the solubility and dissolution performance of meloxicam with an anticipated enhanced bioavailability and fast action for acute and chronic pain disorders.

Abstract
Since cancer is a multifactorial disease with a high mortality rate, the study of new therapeutic strategies is one of the main objectives in modern research. Numerous chemotherapeutic agents, although widely used, have the disadvantage of being not very soluble in water or selective towards cancerous cells, with consequent side effects. Therefore, in recent years, a greater interest has emerged in innovative drug delivery systems (DDSs) such as calixarene, a third-generation supramolecular compound. Calixarene and its water-soluble derivatives show good biocompatibility and have low cytotoxicity. Thanks to their chemical–physical characteristics, calixarenes can be easily functionalized, and by itself can encapsulate host molecules forming nanostructures capable of releasing drugs in a controlled way. The encapsulation of anticancer drugs in a calixarene derivate improves their bioavailability and efficacy. Thus, the use of calixarenes as carriers of anticancer drugs could reduce their side effects and increase their affinity towards the target. This review summarizes the numerous research advances regarding the development of calixarene nanoparticles capable of encapsulating various anticancer drugs.

Abstract
For the first time, a series of catechol-containing Schiff bases, tetrasubstituted at the lower rim thiacalix[4]arene derivatives in three stereoisomeric forms, cone, partial cone, and 1,3-alternate, were synthesized. The structure of the obtained compounds was proved by modern physical methods, such as NMR, IR spectroscopy, and HRMS. Selective recognition (Kb difference by three orders of magnitude) of copper (II) cation in the series of d-metal cations (Cu2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Zn2+) was shown by UV-vis spectroscopy. Copper (II) ions are coordinated at the nitrogen atom of the imine group and the nearest oxygen atom of the catechol fragment in the thiacalixarene derivatives. High thermal stable organic-inorganic copper-based materials were obtained on the base of 1,3-alternate + Cu (II) complexes.

Abstract
A new and innovative class of calixarene-based polymers emerged as adsorbents for a variety of compounds and ions in solution and vapor media. These materials take advantage of the modifiable rims and hydrophobic cavities of the calixarene monomers, in addition to the porous nature of the polymeric matrix. With main-chain calixarenes' function as supramolecular hosts and the polymers' high surface areas, polycalixarenes can effectively encapsulate target analytes. This feature is particularly useful for environmental remediation as dangerous and toxic molecules reversibly bind to the macrocyclic cavity, which facilitates their removal and enables repeated use of the polymeric sorbent. This Spotlight touches on the unique characteristics of the calixarene monomers and discusses the synthetic methods of our reported calixarene-based porous polymers, including Sonogashira-Hagihara coupling, and diazo and imine bond formation. It then discusses the promising applications of these materials in adsorbing dyes, micropollutants, iodine, mercury, paraquat, and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) from water. In most cases, these reports cover materials that outperform others in terms of recyclability, rates of adsorption, or uptake capacities of specific pollutants. Finally, this Spotlight addresses the current challenges and future aspects of utilizing porous polymers in pollution treatment.

Abstract
A novel adsorbent was developed based on nitrile functionalized calix [4]arene grafted onto magnetic graphene oxide (N-Calix-MGO) for remediation of arsenic (III) ions from aqueous media. The nanocomposite was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The effective parameters on adsorption efficiency such as pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, initial concentration, and temperature were studied. The adsorption process was provided with a high removal efficiency up to (90%) at pH 6 which followed by IUPAC Type II pattern. The mathematical models of kinetics and isotherm validated the experimental process. The adsorption kinetic is followed pseudo-first-order model with R2 > 0.9. The adsorption equilibrium was well fitted on the Freundlich model (R2 ∼ 0.96) as compared Langmuir model (R2 ∼ 0.75). Hence, the Freundlich model suggested a multilayer sorption pattern with a physisorption mechanism for arsenic (III) uptake ono developed nanocomposite with a sorption capacity of 67 mg/g for arsenic. The Gibbs free energy (ΔG° < -20 kJ/mol) showed As(III) uptake ono N-Calix-MGO nanocomposite was the physical adsorption mechanism.

Abstract
The present investigation is the first report containing design and synthesis of novel calixarene derivatives (6-8) and their inclusion complexes (IC6-IC8) with Chloramphenicol (CAM). After synthesis, the antibiotic CAM, calixarene derivatives (6-8) and their inclusion complexes (IC6-IC8) were successfully incorporated into biodegradable PVA and/or PLA nanofiber skeleton by electrospinning. The obtained electrospun nanofibers were tested and compared for inhibition of bacterial growth towards multiple bacterial species (Escherichia coli, and Bacillus subtilis). Moreover, we evaluated thermal decomposition and release profile of CAM by spectrophotometric methods. The results suggested that CAM can be successfully encapsulated in nanofiber webs by inclusion complexation, and these fibers could be used as a part of new controlled release packaging system for food preservation.

Abstract
β-lactam antibiotics are among the most important and widely used antimicrobials worldwide and are comprised of a large family of compounds, obtained by chemical modifications of the common scaffolds. Usually these modifications include the addition of active groups, but less frequently, molecules were synthesized in which either two β-lactam rings were joined to create a single bifunctional compound, or the azetidinone ring was joined to another antibiotic scaffold or another molecule with a different activity, in order to create a molecule bearing two different pharmacophoric functions. In this review, we report some examples of these derivatives, highlighting their biological properties and discussing how this strategy can lead to the development of innovative antibiotics that can represent either novel weapons against the rampant increase of antimicrobial resistance, or molecules with a broader spectrum of action.

Abstract
The search for new antibacterial and antiseptic drugs is an urgent problem due to the resistance of microorganisms to existing drugs. In this work, for the first time, the design of antibacterial and bactericidal agents based on quaternary ammonium compounds on thiacalixarene macrocyclic platform was proposed and implemented. A series of tetrasubstituted quaternary ammonium salts with different nature and length of the substituent (-N+(CH3)2R, R = CH2Ph, CnH2n+1, n = 1, 4, 8, 10) based on p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene in cone and 1,3-alternate conformations was obtained with excellent yields. The obtained compounds have a high antibacterial effect against Gram-positive (S. aureus, S. epidermidis, B. subtilis) bacteria comparable with commercial antiseptics chlorhexidine, miramistin and benzalkonium chloride. It was found that quaternary ammonium derivatives of thiacalix[4]arene in 1,3-alternate conformation more effectively inhibit the growth of the tested bacterial strains in comparison with compounds in cone conformation. Cytotoxicity studies on human skin fibroblast (HSF) cells demonstrated that all compounds were less toxic compared to reference drugs. The different type of interaction of the studied compounds with model DPPC lipid membranes explains different antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity of compounds. The compounds in cone conformation are adsorbed on the DPPC vesicles membrane surface, while the incorporation of lipophilic alkyl fragments of macrocycles in 1,3-alternate conformation into the membrane leads to "clumping" of DPPC vesicles. It was shown the saving of antibacterial activity of thiacalixarene derivatives in 1,3-alternate conformation on Gram-positive clinical strains. The obtained results allow viewing the described thiacalixarene based quaternary ammonium compounds as promising molecules in the development of the new antibacterial agents.

Abstract
Functionalized supramolecular cages are of growing importance in biology and biochemistry. They have recently been proposed as efficient auxiliaries to obtain high-resolution cocrystallized proteins. Here, we propose a molecular dynamics investigation of the supramolecular association of sulfonated calix-[8]-arenes to cytochrome c starting from initially distant proteins and ligands. We characterize two main binding sites for the sulfonated calixarene on the cytochrome c surface which are in perfect agreement with the previous experiments with regard to the structure (comparison with the X-ray structure PDB 6GD8) and the binding free energies [comparison between the molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area analysis and the isothermal titration calorimetry measurements]. The per-residue decomposition of the interaction energies reveals the detailed picture of this electrostatically driven association and notably the role of arginine R13 as a bridging residue between the two main anchoring sites. In addition, the analysis of the residue behavior by means of a supervised machine learning protocol unveils the formation of a hydrogen bond network far from the binding sites, increasing the rigidity of the protein. This study paves the way toward an automated procedure to predict the supramolecular protein-cage association, with the possibility of a computational screening of new promising derivatives for controlled protein assembly and protein surface recognition processes.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte adhesives, either poly[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] or poly(methacrylic acid), functionalized with a surface-active calix[4]resorcinarene were grafted onto silicon wafers. Adhesion studies on these grafted-to brushes using polyelectrolyte hydrogels of opposite charge showed that it is the calix[4]resorcinarene, rather than adsorption of polyelectrolyte monomers, that adheres the brush to the silicon substrate. The adhesion measured was similar to that measured using polymers grafted from the surface, and was stronger than a control layer of poly(vinyl acetate) under the same test conditions. The limiting factor was determined to be adhesive failure at the hydrogel-brush interface, rather than the brush-silicon interface. Therefore, the adhesion has not been adversely affected by changing from a grafted-from to a grafted-to brush, demonstrating the possibility of a one-pot approach to creating switchable adhesives.

Abstract
A set of 6- to 24-valent clusters was constructed with terminal deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) inhibitory heads through C6 or C9 linkers by way of Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reactions between mono- or trivalent azido-armed iminosugars and calix[8]arene scaffolds differing in their valency and their rigidity but not in their size. The power of multivalency to upgrade the inhibition potency of the weak DNJ inhibitor (monovalent DNJ Ki being at 322 and 188 µM for C6 or C9 linkers, respectively) was evaluated on the model glycosidase Jack Bean α-mannosidase (JBα-man). Although for the clusters with the shorter C6 linker the rigidity of the scaffold was essential, these parameters had no influence for clusters with C9 chains: all of them showed rather good relative affinity enhancements per inhibitory epitopes between 70 and 160 highlighting the sound combination of the calix[8]arene core and the long alkyl arms. Preliminary docking studies were performed to get insights into the preferred binding modes.

Abstract
Achieving high thermal stability and control of supramolecular organization of functional dyes in sensors and nonlinear optics remains a demanding task. This study was aimed at the evaluation of thermal behavior and Langmuir monolayer characteristics of topologically varied nitrothiacalixarene multichromophores and phenol monomers. A nitration/azo coupling alkylation synthetic route towards partially O-substituted nitrothiacalixarenes and 4-nitrophenylazo-thiacalixarenes was proposed and realized. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry of disubstituted nitrothiacalix[4]arene revealed a rare 1,2-alternate conformation. A synchronous thermal analysis indicated higher decomposition temperatures of nitrothiacalixarene macrocycles as compared with monomers. Through surface pressure/potential-molecular area measurements, nitrothiacalixarenes were shown to form Langmuir monolayers at the air–water interface and, through atomic force microscopy (AFM) technique, Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films on solid substrates. Reflection-absorption spectroscopy of monolayers and electronic absorption spectroscopy of LB films of nitrothiacalixarenes recorded a red-shifted band (290 nm) with a transition from chloroform, indicative of solvatochromism. Additionally, shoulder band at 360 nm was attributed to aggregation and supported by gas-phase density functional theory (DFT) calculations and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis in chloroform–methanol solvent in the case of monoalkylated calixarene 3. Excellent thermal stability and monolayer formation of nitrothiacalixarenes suggest their potential as functional dyes.

Abstract
Macrocycle, cyclo[4] [(1,3-(4,6)-dimethylbezene)[4](2,6-(3,5)-dimethylpyridine (B4P4), shows highly selective binding affinity with protirelin (Pyr-His-Pro-NH2 ; TRH) among the tested 26 drug or drug adductive substrates. The stable complexation in a 1:1 manner was fully characterized in solution, gas phase, and solid state study. Furthermore, B4P4 acts as an efficient TRH inhibitor even at [macrocycle]:[drug] <1:300, both in membrane transport and cellar incubation. The current work provides an unprecedented strategy for macrocycles to be efficiently used in drug target therapy.

Abstract
In the search for soft and smart materials for nanomedicine, which is a present challenge, supramolecular nanohydrogels built on self-assembling low-molecular-weight building blocks attract interest for their structural, mechanical and functional properties. Herein, we describe a supramolecular nanohydrogel formed by a biofriendly micellar self-assembling choline-calix[4]arene derivative in the presence of curcumin, a natural and multitarget pharmacologically relevant drug. Morphology and mechanical properties of the nanohydrogel were investigated, and theoretical simulation performed to model the nanohydrogel structure. The self-healing and injectable nanohydrogel easily formed in PBS medium at physiologic pH, without using additives and organic solvents. The micellar nanohydrogel protected curcumin from rapid chemical and photochemical degradation, and slowly dissolved in curcumin-loaded micelles sustaining the drug release in a low rate. The nanohydrogel which combines the mechanical properties of a hydrogel and the benefits of a nanoscale micelle in drug delivery, appears a promising novel material for drug delivery.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are an attractive alternative to plasmonic gold nanoparticles. The relative cheapness and redox stability determine the growing interest of researchers in obtaining selective plasmonic and electrochemical (bio)sensors based on silver nanoparticles. The controlled synthesis of metal nanoparticles of a defined morphology is a nontrivial task, important for such fields as biochemistry, catalysis, biosensors and microelectronics. Cyclophanes are well known for their great receptor properties and are of particular interest in the creation of metal nanoparticles due to a variety of cyclophane 3D structures and unique redox abilities. Silver ion-based supramolecular assemblies are attractive due to the possibility of reduction by “soft” reducing agents as well as being accessible precursors for silver nanoparticles of predefined morphology, which are promising for implementation in plasmonic sensors. For this purpose, the chemistry of cyclophanes offers a whole arsenal of approaches: exocyclic ion coordination, association, stabilization of the growth centers of metal nanoparticles, as well as in reduction of silver ions. Thus, this review presents the recent advances in the synthesis and stabilization of Ag (0) nanoparticles based on self-assembly of associates with Ag (I) ions with the participation of bulk platforms of cyclophanes (resorcin[4]arenes, (thia)calix[n]arenes, pillar[n]arenes).

Abstract
The history, properties, and characteristics of para-sulfonato-calixarenes are described. On the one hand, the inherent antibacterial and antifungal properties against microorganisms, and on the other hand non-toxicity of these supramolecules toward human organs are analyzed. The resulting biocompatibility of para-sulfonato-calixarenes makes them potential candidates for diverse life sciences and pharmaceutical applications without significant side effects. The interactions with different drugs, the capability of drug encapsulation, delivery, and release, the formation of host-quest assemblies and inclusion complexation between para-sulfonato-calixarenes and drugs were also investigated in detail. Besides, their function in cancer treatment and their toxicity against different cancer cell lines were fully reviewed and summarized. Afterward, the capability of these macrocyclic compounds for biosensing of organic compounds, peptides and enzymes activity was highlighted. In this review, we also take a brief look at recent reports on the applications of para-sulfonato-calixarenes in fluorescence imaging and their usage as highly stable and bright probes for in vivo and in vitro imaging and sensing.

Abstract
The addition of specific chemical groups in a macrocycle structure influences its functional properties and, consequently, can provide new possibilities, among which are aggregation properties, water solubility, biocompatibility, stimuli response, biological activity, etc. Herein, we report synthesis of new resorcin[4]arene with N-methyl-d-glucamine groups on the upper rim and n-decyl chains on the lower rim, an investigation of its self-assembly behavior in aqueous media, and its use as a building block for the formation of drug nanocontainer. N-methyl-d-glucamine fragments in the resorcin[4]arene structure promote higher stability in solutions, simplification of self-aggregation, and increased biological activity. Antimicrobial and hemolytic activity assessment revealed that this resorcin[4]arene obtained is nontoxic. The study of cell penetration was carried out with both free and encapsulated doxorubicin (DOX). Surprisingly, DOX-loaded macrocycle aggregates are more efficient in causing apoptosis in human cancer cell line. Conceivably, this knowledge will help in the rational design of DOX combination for novel drug-administration strategies in cancer treatment.

Abstract
A calix[4]arene ligand, in which two of the phenol functions are replaced by pyrazole units has been employed to mimic the His2 -Tyr2 (His: histidine, Tyr: tyrosine) ligand sphere within the active site of the galactose oxidase (GO). The calixarene backbone forces the corresponding copper(II) complex into a see-saw-type structure, which is hitherto unprecedented in GO modelling chemistry. It undergoes a one-electron oxidation that is centered at the phenolate donor leading to a copper-coordinated phenoxyl radical like in the GO. Accordingly, the complex was tested as a functional model and indeed proved capable of oxidizing benzyl alcohol to the respective aldehyde using two phenoxyl-radical equivalents as oxidants. Finally, the results show that the calixarene platform can be utilized to arrange donor functions to biomimetic binding pockets that allow for the creation of novel types of model compounds.

Abstract
Functionalization of tetrapropylcalix[4]resorcinarene, tetrapentylcalix[4]resorcinarene, tetranonylcalix[4]resorcinarene, and tetra-(4-hydroxyphenyl)calix[4]resorcinarene by means of aminomethylation reactions with the amino acids β-alanine and l-proline in the presence of aqueous formaldehyde was carried out. When β-alanine was used, the reaction products were tetrabenzoxazines. The reaction with tetra-(4-hydroxyphenyl)calix[4]resorcinarene did not proceed under the experimental conditions; therefore, l-proline was used, and the corresponding tetra-Mannich base was regio- and diasteroselectively formed. The products were characterized via FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and elemental analysis. With these aminomethylated-calix[4]resorcinarenes, the chemical surface modification of the copolymers poly(GMA-co-EDMA) and poly(BMA-co-EDMA-co-MMA) in a basic medium was studied. The results were quite satisfactory, obtaining the corresponding copolymers functionalized by nucleophilic substitution reaction and ring-opening between the carboxyl group of the upper rim of aliphatic calix[4]resorcinarenes and the hydroxyl group of the lower rim in the aromatic calix[4]resorcinarene and the epoxy group of the glycidyl methacrylate residue of each copolymer. The modified copolymers were characterized via FT-IR, scanning electron microscopy imaging, and elemental analysis. Finally, the modified copolymer surfaces exhibited interaction with peptides, showing their potential application in chromatographic separation techniques such as high-performance liquid chromatography.
