Abstract
Calix[n]arenes, macrocycles constituted of 4-8 phenol moieties linked through methylene bridges, are stable molecules that can be selectively functionalised at the upper or lower rim. It has already been demonstrated that calixarene derivatives can be biologically or pharmacologically active compounds. More recently, suitably functionalised calixarenes and calixarene analogues (dihomooxacalixarenes, thiacalixarenes, calix[4]resorcinols, azacalixarenes, calixpyrroles, and pillarenes) were found to act as anticancer agents, at least in in vitro assays. We are reporting on the latest progress in this research field.

Abstract
Calixarenes are displaying great potential for the development of new drug delivery systems, diagnostic imaging, biosensing devices and inhibitors of biological processes. In particular, calixarene derivatives are able to interact with many different enzymes and function as inhibitors. By screening of the potential drug target database (PDTD) with a reverse docking procedure, we identify and discuss a selection of 100 proteins that interact strongly with calix[4]arene. We also discover that leucine (23.5 %), isoleucine (11.3 %), phenylalanines (11.3 %) and valine (9.5 %) are the most frequent binding residues followed by hydrophobic cysteines and methionines and aromatic histidines, tyrosines and tryptophanes. Top binders are peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors that already are targeted by commercial drugs, demonstrating the practical interest in calix[4]arene. Nuclear receptors, potassium channel, several carrier proteins, a variety of cancer-related proteins and viral proteins are prominent in the list. It is concluded that calix[4]arene, which is characterized by facile access, well-defined conformational characteristics, and ease of functionalization at both the lower and higher rims, could be a potential lead compound for the development of enzyme inhibitors and theranostic platforms.

Abstract
There is a range of experimental proofs that biologically relevant compounds change their activity in the presence of C60 fullerene clusters in aqueous solution, which most frequently act as a nanoplatform for drug delivery. Inspired by this evidence, we made an effort to investigate the interaction of fullerene clusters with the antibiotic topotecan (TPT). This study proceeded in three steps, namely, UV/vis titration to confirm complexation and in vitro assays on proliferating and nonproliferating cells to elucidate the role of C60 fullerene in the putative change in TPT activity. Surprisingly, although the nonproliferating cell assay is consistent with the titration data and confirms complex formation, it contradicted the results of the proliferating cell assay. The latter showed that the mixture of TPT and fullerene affects the cells in the same way as pure TPT, as if there were no fullerenes in solution at all, whereas the action of TPT was expected to be enhanced. We explained this contradiction by the specific stabilization of the biologically inactive carboxylate form of the antibiotic adsorbed in the alkaline shell of large fullerene clusters, which leads to neutralization of the drug delivery function and almost zero net biological effect of the antibiotic in vitro. The practical outcome of the work is that fullerene clusters can be used for the selective delivery of pH-sensitive drug forms.

[PMID: 34209201 PMCID: PMC8309163 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13070994] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2021] [Revised: 06/25/2021] [Accepted: 06/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
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
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Doxorubicin is a common apoptotic chemotherapeutic which has shown an obvious inhibitory effect in cancer chemotherapy. Here, cucurbit[n]urils (n = 7,10) have been proposed as a doxorubicin carrier, and the effects of diameter, protonation on loading and releasing of the anticancer drug doxorubicin has been studied. METHODS The Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculation and Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation are performed to study the adsorption process of the (guest) Doxorubicin molecule in the neutral and protonated states within the (host) cucurbit[n]urils (n = 7,10). RESULTS DFT results show that the adsorption process in water is thermodynamically favorable. It is found that the binding energies for protonated drug encapsulation in cucurbit[n]urils are weaker than those of the neutral drug, implying the protonation of doxorubicin can promote the drug release from the adsorption situation. The electron density values and their Laplacian are evaluated to identify the nature of the intermolecular interactions through the topological parameters using the Bader's theory of atoms in molecules. Furthermore, the natural bond orbital analysis shows that the electrons aretransferred from cucurbit[n]urils to drug in all complexes. MD simulation results indicate that value of drug diffusion coefficient is small, therefore, we expect DOX to be slowly released from the CB cavity. CONCLUSIONS Based on obtained results, cucurbit[n]urils may be a prominent nano-carrier to loading and release drug on to target cells.

Abstract
A coumarin-appended calixarene derivative ( CouC4A ) and a hybrid material generated by covalently linking this onto a silica surface ( CouC4A@SiO 2 ) were synthesized and were characterized by various analytical, spectroscopy, and microscopy methods. Both these materials are capable of sensing Fe3+ with greater sensitivity and selectivity. The sensitivity is enhanced by 30,000 fold on going from a simple solution phase to the silica surface with the limit of Fe3+ detection being 1.75 ± 0.4 pM when CouC4A@SiO 2 is used, and the sensing is partially reversible with phosphates, while it is completely reversible with adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP). While the calix precursor, CouC4A , has a limitation to work in water, anchoring this onto SiO2 endowed it with the benefit of its use in water as well as in buffer and thereby extends its application toward Fe3+ sensing even in the biorelevant medium such as fetal bovine serum and human serum. The hybrid material is biocompatible and shows ∼90% cell viability in the case of MDA-MB231 and 3T3 cell lines. CouC4A@SiO 2 functions as a reversible sensor for Fe3+ with the use of ATP in vitro as well as in biological cells. Thus, the inorganic-organic hybrid material, such as, CouC4A@SiO 2 , is an indispensable material for sensitive and selective detection of Fe3+ in a picomolar range in solution and in nanomolar to micromolar range in biorelevant fluids and biological cells, respectively.

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 present review is mainly focused on the overview of carrier mediated extraction (principles and applications) being reported over the last two decades and discusses the extraction process through carriers in various extraction methods such as Bulk liquid membranes, supported liquid membranes, emulsion liquid membranes and polymer inclusion membranes. Several types of carriers such as neutral, anionic, cationic, macrocyclic and supramulecular carriers are discussed. Also their application for metal, anions, drugs and environmental compounds are investigated. Carriers have been demonstrated to be useful for the selective extraction and recovery of numerous cations and anions enhancing the extraction properties of traditional solvent extraction and ion-exchange processes. Several types of carriers have different transport mechanisms. In these mechanisms, transport configurations are addressed and emphasized and the detailed information on the type of carrier are presented along with their specific separation modes. The performance of different carriers in terms of selectivity as well as efficiency are also discussed. Finally, the application of different carriers for the extraction of various compounds are compared and reviewed. To our best knowledge no reviews have been published on carrier-mediated extraction methods.

Abstract
The neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) plays a key role in the pathophysiology of brain disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Understanding the dynamics of ACh concentration changes and kinetics of ACh degradation in the living brain is crucial to unravel the pathophysiology of such diseases and the rational design of therapeutics. In this work, an electrochemical sensor capable of dynamic, label-free, selective, and in situ detection of ACh in a range of 1 nM to 1 mM (with temporal resolution of less than one second) was developed. The sensor was employed for the direct detection of ACh in artificial cerebrospinal fluid and rat brain homogenate, without any prior separation steps. A potentiometric receptor-doped ion-selective electrode (ISE) with selectivity for ACh was designed by taking advantage of the positive charge of ACh. The dynamic range, limit of detection (LOD), and the selectivity of the sensor were optimized stepwise by (i) screening of hydrophobic biomimetic calixarenes to identify receptors that strongly bind to ACh based on shape-selective multitopic recognition, (ii) doping of the ISE sensing membrane with an ACh-binding hydrophobic calixarene to enable selective detection of ACh in complex matrices, (iii) utilizing a hydrophilic calixarene in the inner filling solution of the ISE to buffer the concentration of ACh and, thereby, lower the LOD of the sensor, and (iv) introducing a surface treatment step prior to the measurement by placing the sensor for ∼1 min in a solution of a hydrophilic calixarene to lower the LOD of the sensor even further.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is currently one of the most effective ways to treat cancer. However, traditional chemotherapy faces several obstacles to clinical trials, such as poor solubility/stability, non-targeting capability and uncontrollable release of the drugs, greatly limiting their anticancer efficacy and causing severe side effects towards normal tissues. Supramolecular chemotherapy integrating non-covalent interactions and traditional chemotherapy is a highly promising candidate in this regard and can be appropriately used for targeted drug delivery. By taking advantage of supramolecular chemistry, some limitations impeding traditional chemotherapy for clinical applications can be solved effectively. Therefore, we present here a review summarizing the progress of supramolecular chemotherapy in cancer treatment based on host-guest recognition and provide guidance on the design of new targeting supramolecular chemotherapy combining diagnostic and therapeutic functions. Based on a large number of state-of-the-art studies, our review will advance supramolecular chemotherapy on the basis of host-guest recognition and promote translational clinical applications.

Abstract
The effect of the chain length of the alkyl and alkoxy substituents on the binding characteristics of 1-alkyl-6-alkoxy-quinolinium cations was studied using 4-sulfonatocalix[4]arene (SCX4) and 4-sulfonatocalix[6]arene (SCX6) in neutral aqueous solutions at 298 K. Isothermal calorimetric titrations showed enthalpy-controlled inclusion with 1:1 stoichiometry. The equilibrium constants of complexation were always larger for the confinement in SCX4 than in its SCX6 homologue because the better matching between the host and guest sizes allowed more exothermic interaction. The binding affinity diminished with the lengthening of the aliphatic chain of the guests in the case of the association with SCX4, but insignificant change was found for SCX6 complexes. The most substantial change in the enthalpic and entropic contributions to the driving force of complex production occurred when the alkyl chain was linked to the heterocyclic nitrogen and the number of its carbon atoms varied between 1 and 4. 1H NMR spectra evidenced that in SCX6, the 1-alkyl-6-alkoxy-quinolinium cations could be included within the macrocycle cavity. In the case of SCX4, the quinolinium ring is always inside the host, but the alkyl chain is included within SCX4 only for a short chain length (n up to 4). In contrast, the alkoxy chain displays a very weak interaction with the cavity irrespective of the length. Because of the outward orientation from the host, the lengthening of the alkoxy substituent of the quinolinium moiety barely influenced the thermodynamics of inclusion in SCX4. Distinct linear enthalpy-entropy correlations were found for the encapsulation in SCX4 and SCX6.

Abstract
The growing antibiotic resistance phenomenon continues to stimulate the search for new compounds and strategies to combat bacterial infections. In this study, we designed and synthesized a new polycationic macrocyclic compound (2) bearing four N-methyldiethanol ammonium groups clustered and circularly organized by a calix[4]arene scaffold. The in vitro activity of compound 2, alone and in combination with known antibiotics (ofloxacin, chloramphenicol or tetracycline), was assessed against strains of Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538 and methicillin-resistant isolate 15), S. epidermidis (ATCC 35984 and methicillin-resistant isolate 57), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 9027 and antibiotic-resistant isolate 1). Calix[4]arene derivative 2 showed significant antibacterial activity against ATCC and methicillin-resistant Gram positive Staphylococci, improved the stability of tetracycline in water, and in combination with antibiotics enhanced the antibiotic efficacy against Gram negative P. aeruginosa by an additive effect.

Abstract
The effect of headgroup variation on the association of supramolecular amphiphiles composed of 4-sulfonatocalix[6]arene (SCX6) and cationic surfactant possessing tetradecyl substituent was studied in aqueous solutions at pH 7. When the surfactant contained hydrophilic trimethylammonium, pyridinium, or 1-methylimidazolium headgroup, highly reversible temperature-responsive nanoparticle-supramolecular micelle transformation could be attained at appropriately chosen component mixing ratios and NaCl concentrations. In these cases, the substantial negative molar heat capacity change (ΔCp) rendered nanoparticle formation strongly endothermic at low temperature, whereas the assembly to supramolecular micelle was always accompanied by enthalpy gain. The ΔCp values became less negative when the charge density and the hydrophilic character of the surfactant headgroup diminished. The association of the more hydrophobic 6-methoxyquinolinium and quinolinium surfactants with SCX6 did not lead to supramolecular micelle formation because the self-assembly into nanoparticles was highly exothermic.

Abstract
Calixarenes, composed of phenolic units linked by methylene bridges at the 2,6-positions, represent a versatile class of macrocyclic compounds in supramolecular chemistry that can host small molecules or ions in their well-defined hydrophobic cavities. In recent years, it has been recognized that this class of compounds has the potential to serve as platform for the design of biological active compounds. Therefore, the calixarenes functionalized with different pharmacophoric groups have been synthesized as target structure by many researchers and were further evaluated for their biological activities. Owing to their promising biological activities such as antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer, the functionalized calixarenes are recently receiving increased attention from pharmaceutical/medicinal chemistry community. In this review, we summarize and discuss the synthetic approaches and the biological potential of functionalized calixarenes, mainly focusing on the selected recent studies for a comprehensive and target-oriented information, which could help in the design and synthesis of new therapeutic agents leading to the development of clinically viable drugs based on these macrocyles.

Abstract
Amyloid-β peptides (Aβ) fibrillation is the hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, it has been challenging to discover potent agents in order to inhibit Aβ fibrillation. Herein, we demonstrated the effect of resorcinarene on inhibiting Aβ fibrillation in vitro via experimental and computational methods. Aβ were incubated with different concentrations of resorcinarene so as to monitor the kinetics by using thioflavin T binding assay. The results, which were further confirmed by far-UV CD spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy, strongly indicated that the higher concentration of resorcinarene, the more effective the inhibition of Aβ fibrillation. A cytotoxicity study showed that when sea urchin embryos were exposed to the resorcinarene, the majority survived due to the resorcinarene low toxicity. In addition, when the resorcinarene was added, the formation of toxic Aβ 42 species was delayed. Computational studies of Aβ fibrillation, including docking simulations and MD simulations, illustrated that the interaction between inhibitor resorcinarene and Aβ is driven by the non-polar interactions. These studies display a novel strategy for the exploration of promising antiamyloiddogenic agents for AD treatments.

Abstract
The interaction of two antibacterial calixarene derivatives with cholesterol, a eukaryotic cell membrane lipid, was investigated with the aim to get more insight in the potential advers effects on our cells. The derivatives used had one or two nalidixic acid arms grafted on the lower rim of the calixarene aromatic crown. Monomolecular films spread at the air-water interface were used as model lipid membranes. Pure cholesterol and pure calixarene derivatives, as well as binary cholesterol - calixarene derivative mixtures were studied using surface pressure measurements, polarization-modulation infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations. The properties of the mixed monolayers were described quantitatively using thermodynamic models. The analysis of surface pressure-area isotherms of mixed monolayers shows that cholesterol may form homogenous but metastable domains with both nalidixate derivatives. This phenomenon is more clearly observed with mono-substituted calixarene. A detailed modeling analysis indicates that cholesterol favors dehydration of the calixarene polar headgroups and transfer of the derivatives from the aqueous to the gas phase. This effect, more pronounced in the case of the monosubstituted calixarene, can be linked to the hydrophobic interaction with cholesterol. This observation may be useful for developing new calixarene derivatives allowing us to control disease-causing bacteria without harming our own cells.

Abstract
The thermodynamic property of the host-guest, inclusion complex formed between p-t-butyl calix(4)arene which is a supramolecule, and the antiseizure drug, carbamazepine was studied. p-t-Butyl calix(4)arene has been used as a host molecule and carbamazepine as a guest molecule. Optical absorption spectral studies were carried out to investigate the molecular recognition properties of p-t-butyl calix(4)arene with carbamazepine. The stochiometry of the host-guest complexes formed and the association constant were determined. An interesting 1:2 stochiometric host-guest complex was formed. Job's continuous method of variation and Benesi-Hildebrand expression were used for the determination of binding constant and the stochiometry of the host-guest complex formed. Molecular dimension of the host molecule plays a vital role in the formation of the host-guest stochiometric complexes.

Abstract
The cucurbituril family of drug delivery vehicles have been examined for their tissue specific toxicity using ex vivo models. Cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]), cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) and the linear cucurbituril-derivative Motor2 were examined for their neuro-, myo- and cardiotoxic activity and compared with β-cyclodextrin. The protective effect of drug encapsulation by CB[7] was also examined on the platinum-based anticancer drug cisplatin. The results show that none of the cucurbiturils have statistically measurable neurotoxicity as measured using mouse sciatic nerve compound action potential. Cucurbituril myotoxicity was measured by nerve-muscle force of contraction through chemical and electrical stimulation. Motor2 was found to display no myotoxicity, whereas both CB[6] and CB[7] showed myotoxic activity via a presynaptic effect. Finally, cardiotoxicity, which was measured by changes in the rate and force of right and left atria contraction, was observed for all three cucurbiturils. Free cisplatin displays neuro-, myo- and cardiotoxic activity, consistent with the side-effects seen in the clinic. Whilst CB[7] had no effect on the level of cisplatin's neurotoxic activity, drug encapsulation within the macrocycle had a marked reduction in both the drug's myo- and cardiotoxic activity. Overall the results are consistent with the relative lack of toxicity displayed by these macrocycles in whole animal acute systemic toxicity studies and indicate continued potential of cucurbiturils as drug delivery vehicles for the reduction of the side effects associated with platinum-based chemotherapy.

Abstract
The thermodynamic property of the host-guest complexes formed between the curcumin, component of Indian Ayurvedic medicine turmeric, a drug molecule, with the supra molecule, p-t-butyl calix(8)arene was studied. p-t-Butyl calix(8)arene has been used as a host molecule and curcumin as a guest molecule. Optical absorption spectral studies were carried out to investigate the molecular recognition properties of p-t-butyl calix(8)arene with curcumin. The stochiometry of the host-guest complexes formed and the binding constant were determined. An interesting 1:1 and 4:1 stochiometric host-guest complexes were formed. Job's continuous method of variation and Benesi-Hildebrand expression were used for the determination of binding constant and the stochiometry of the host-guest complex formed.

Abstract
The selectivity of the bis(calix[4]arene)tetraethylene abbreviated as calix[4]tube for the endohedral complexation of alkali and alkaline earth metal ions, was predicted on the basis of structures and complex formation energies computed with three different quantum chemical methods: DFT LANL2DZp)/LANL2DZp), PM3/SPASS, and PM6. A comparison with published X-ray structures demonstrated that the most reliable results were achieved applying DFT calculations. The complexation of K⁺ and Ba²⁺ is most favorable, followed by the encapsulation of Rb⁺ and Sr²⁺, respectively. The flexibility of the tube, described by the torsion angles associated with the ethylene linkages between the calix[4]arene units and phenyl rings intersecting the plane of the four methylene carbon atoms, also makes an important contribution to its selectivity. In general, the cavity size is similar to [2.2.2] and [N2N2N2], the cryptands with the largest cavities previously studied in our group applying a similar protocol.

Abstract
Eight proton di-ionisable diacid conformers of nano-baskets including 25,26-di(carboxymethoxy)calix[4]arene-crown-3, -crown-4, -crown-5 and -crown-6 in the cone conformation have been synthesised and shown to extract lanthanide cations effectively. Their selectivities were greatly influenced by the acidity of the solution and the conformations of the calix-crown. The extraction loading was improved by having the p-tert-butyl-moiety in the upper rim. The scaffold bearing the crown-4 ether moiety showed the least loading, while scaffolds with crown-3- and crown-5-ether moieties had the best selectivities.
