Abstract
Since the discovery of polyphenolic resins 150 years ago, the study of polymeric compounds named calix[n]arene has continued to progress, and those skilled in the art perfectly know now how to modulate this phenolic ring. Consequently, calix[n]arenes are now used in a large range of applications and notably in therapeutic fields. In particular, the calix[4]arene exhibits multiple possibilities for regioselective polyfunctionalization on both of its rims and offers researchers the possibility of precisely tuning the geometry of their structures. Thus, in the crucial research of new antibacterial active ingredients, the design of calixarenes finds its place perfectly. This review provides an overview of the work carried out in this aim towards the development of intrinsically active prodrogues or metallic calixarene complexes. Out of all the work of the community, there are some excellent activities emerging that could potentially place these original structures in a very good position for the development of new active ingredients.

Association Complexes of Calix[6]arenes with Amino Acids Explained by Energy-Partitioning Methods. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27227938. [PMID: 36432040 PMCID: PMC9699162 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27227938] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2022] [Revised: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 11/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Intermolecular complexes with calixarenes are intriguing because of multiple possibilities of noncovalent binding for both polar and nonpolar molecules, including docking in the calixarene cavity. In this contribution calix[6]arenes interacting with amino acids are studied with an additional aim to show that tools such as symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT), functional-group SAPT (F-SAPT), and systematic molecular fragmentation (SMF) methods may provide explanations for different numbers of noncovalent bonds and of their varying strength for various calixarene conformers and guest molecules. The partitioning of the interaction energy provides an easy way to identify hydrogen bonds, including those with unconventional hydrogen acceptors, as well as other noncovalent bonds, and to find repulsive destabilizing interactions between functional groups. Various other features can be explained by energy partitioning, such as the red shift of an IR stretching frequency for some hydroxy groups, which arises from their attraction to the phenyl ring of calixarene. Pairs of hydrogen bonds and other noncovalent bonds of similar magnitude found by F-SAPT explain an increase in the stability of both inclusion and outer complexes.

Abstract
The search for novel surfactants or drug delivery systems able to improve the performance of old-generation antibiotics is a topic of great interest. Self-assembling amphiphilic calix[4]arene derivatives provide well-defined nanostructured systems that exhibit promising features for antibiotics delivery. In this work, we investigated the capability of two micellar polycationic calix[4]arene derivatives to recognize and host ofloxacin, chloramphenicol, or tetracycline in neutral aqueous solution. The formation of the nanoaggregates and the host–guest equilibria were examined by nano-isothermal titration calorimetry, dynamic light scattering, and mono- and bi-dimensional NMR. The thermodynamic characterization revealed that the calix[4]arene-based micellar aggregates are able to effectively entrap the model antibiotics and enabled the determination of both the species and the driving forces for the molecular recognition process. Indeed, the formation of the chloramphenicol–micelle adduct was found to be enthalpy driven, whereas entropy drives the formation of the adducts with both ofloxacin and tetracycline. NMR spectra corroborated ITC data about the positioning of the antibiotics in the calixarene nanoaggregates.

Abstract
Calixarenes and related macrocycles have been shown to have antimicrobial effects since the 1950s. This review highlights the antimicrobial properties of almost 200 calixarenes, resorcinarenes, and pillararenes acting as prodrugs, drug delivery agents, and inhibitors of biofilm formation. A particularly important development in recent years has been the use of macrocycles with substituents terminating in sugars as biofilm inhibitors through their interactions with lectins. Although many examples exist where calixarenes encapsulate, or incorporate, antimicrobial drugs, one of the main factors to emerge is the ability of functionalized macrocycles to engage in multivalent interactions with proteins, and thus inhibit cellular aggregation.

Abstract
A series of 3-phenyl-1-phenylsulfonyl pyrazoles containing an aminoguanidine moiety was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their antimicrobial and anticancer activities. The majority of the target compounds showed broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against the tested strains, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from 2 to 64 μg/ml. Compound 5k, showing the most potent antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis CMCC 63501 and multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 43300 with an MIC value of 2 μg/ml, was the most promising one in this series. It was also effective for S. aureus ATCC 33591 and multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli ATCC BAA-196 at higher concentrations. The bactericidal time-kill kinetics test illustrated that compound 5k had rapid bactericidal potential. Docking results exhibited that compound 5k showed various kinds of binding to the FabH receptor, reflecting that 5k could bind with the active site well. All compounds showed excellent activity against the investigated cancer cells, with IC50 values ranging from 1.90 to 54.53 µM. Among them, compound 5f showed prominent cytotoxicity with IC50 = 1.90 µM against A549 cells, while exhibiting lower inhibitory activity against 293T cells (IC50 = 41.72 µM), indicating that it has the potential for a good therapeutic index as an anticancer drug.

Abstract
The antibacterial activity of a calixarene derivative, p-tert-butylcalix[6]arene (Calix6), was assessed and was shown not to inhibit the growth of E. coli, S. aureus and B. subtilis bacteria. With the aim of gaining more insights into the absence of antibacterial activity of Calix6, the interaction of this derivative with DPPG, a bacterial cell membrane lipid, was studied. Langmuir monolayers were used as the model membrane. Pure DPPG and pure Calix6 monolayers, as well as binary DPPG:Calix6 mixtures were studied using surface pressure measurements, compressional modulus, Brewster angle and fluorescence microscopies, ellipsometry, polarization-modulation infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations. Thermodynamic properties of the mixed monolayers were additionally calculated using thermodynamic parameters. The analysis of isotherms showed that Calix6 significantly affects the DPPG monolayers, modifying the isotherm profile and increasing the molecular area, in agreement with the molecular dynamics simulations. The presence of Calix6 in the mixed monolayers decreased the interfacial elasticity, indicating that calixarene disrupts the strong intermolecular interactions of DPPG hindering its organization into a compact arrangement. At low molar ratios of Calix6, the DPPG:Calix6 interactions are preferentially attractive, due to the interactions between the hydrophobic tails of DPPG and the tert-butyl groups of Calix6. Increasing the proportion of calixarene generates repulsive interactions. Calix6 significantly affects the hydrophobic tail organization, which was confirmed by PM-IRRAS measurements. Calix6 appears to be expelled from the mixed films at a biologically relevant surface pressure, π = 30 mN m-1, indicating a low interaction with the cell membrane model related to the absence of antibacterial activity.

Abstract
Polytopic ligands have become ubiquitous in coordination chemistry because they grant access to a variety of mono- and polynuclear complexes of transition metals as well as rare-earth and main-group elements. Nitrogen-based ditopic ligands, in which two monoanionic N,N-binding sites are framed within one molecule, are of particular importance and are therefore the primary focus of this review. In detail, bis(amidine)s, bis(guanidine)s, bis(β-diimine)s, bis(aminotroponimine)s, bis(pyrrolimine)s, and miscellaneous bis(N,N-chelating) ligands are reviewed. In addition to the general synthetic protocols, the application of these ligands is discussed along with their coordination chemistry, the multifarious binding modes, and the ability of these ligands to bridge two (or more) metal(loids).

Abstract
New pyrazole with benzo[d]thiazoles containing hydrazinecarboximidamide substituent was synthesised and evaluated for cytotoxicity and apoptotic activity using the MTT assay, flow cytometry, and Western blot analysis. Among the compounds studied, (E)-2-((1-(6-((4-fluorobenzyl)oxy)benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-3-phenyl-1H- pyrazol-4-yl)methylene) hydrazinecarboximidamide (8l) was potent, with IC50 values of 2.41 µM, 2.23 µM, 3.75 µM and 2.31 µM in vitro anti-proliferative activity testing against triple-negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231, non-triple-negative breast cancer MCF-7 cells, and human hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cells, and SMMC-7721 cells, respectively. Especially, the activity against MDA-MB-231 was similar to that of Doxorubicin, which was used as a positive control in this study. Next, the Annexin V/PI flow cytometry assay was used at different concentrations of compound 8l to demonstrate that compound 81 induced apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Finally, these results were further verified by Western blot analysis. Taken together, the results of this study revealed that compound 8l may be a potential anticancer compound play a significant role in the subsequent researches.

Abstract
Today, the emergence of the phenomenon of drug or multidrug-resistance for community-associated diseases represents a major concern in the world. In these contexts, the chronic infectious disease, leprosy, grounded by a slow-growing bacterium called Mycobacterium leprae or Mycobacterium lepromatosis is a leadingcause of severe disfiguring skin sores and nerve damage in the arms, legs, and skin areas around the body. Even, over 200,000 new leprosy cases are being accounted every year along with the relapsed leprosy cases. Nonetheless, this has been considered a curable disease with a higher dose of multidrug therapy (MDT) for a long period of time. The prolonged action of a high dose of combination drugs administration may cause an adverse reaction that can significantly affect patient compliance, particularly the outbreak of multidrug-resistance in the infected person. To overcome these shortfalls or prevent the resistance-associated problems, researchers are diligently involved in the structural modifications of the clinically used anti-leprosy drugs or the allied compounds for the structure-antimycobacterial activity relationship study. This review article described the detailed synthesis and biological assays of different anti-leprosy compounds reported by several research groups.

Abstract
Calixarene derivatives are reported as potential therapeutic agents. Azo derivatives of calixarenes have not been given much consideration to explore their biomedical applications. In the present study, some azo-based derivatives of calix[4]arene were synthesized and characterized and their antibacterial and antiviral potentials were studied. The mono azo products of sulphanilamide, sulfaguanidine and 2-methyl-4-aminobenzoic acid showed good activity against bacterial strains with minimum inhibition concentration values ranging from 0.97 to 62.5 μg/mL. For mono azo products, the diazotized salt was applied as a limiting reagent. The use of calix[4]arene and sodium acetate trihydrate in 1:3 (molar ratio) helped in partial substitution. Molecular docking was performed to see the interaction of the designed compounds with two bacterial and one viral (neuraminidase) receptor. Some of the derivatives showed good interaction with the active site of bacterial and neuraminidase enzymes through hydrogen, hydrophobic and pi-pi interactions, and could inhibit the activity of the selected enzymes.

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
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
A hydrophobic N-dodecyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-4-nitrobenzenamine has been synthesized as a suitable NO photodonor and encapsulated in a nanocontainer based on a polycationic calix[4]arene derivative, leading to a supramolecular micellar-like nanoassembly ca. 45 nm in diameter. Visible light excitation of this nanoconstruct triggers NO generation with an efficiency remarkably higher than that observed for the free NO photoreleaser. This amplified NO release results in considerable antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 9027) as representative Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria, respectively.

Abstract
Behavior of cationic tetra-p-guanidinoethylcalix[4]arene (CX1) and its building block, p-guanidinoethylphenol (mCX1) in model monolayer lipid membranes was investigated using all atom molecular dynamics simulations and surface pressure measurements. Members of two classes of lipids were taken into account: zwitterionic 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) and anionic 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-l-serine sodium salt (DMPS) as models of eukaryotic and bacterial cell membranes, respectively. It was demonstrated that CX1 and mCX1 accumulate near the negatively charged DMPS monolayers. The adsorption to neutral monolayers was negligible. In contrast to mCX1, CX1 penetrated into the hydrophobic part of the monolayer. The latter effect, which is possible due to a flip-flop inversion of the CX1 orientation in the lipid layer compared to the aqueous phase, may be responsible for its antibacterial activity.

Abstract
This study reports the characterization of three cationic amphiphillic aminocalix[4]arenes as potential antimicrobial agents in vitro. In cytotoxicity tests on mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells aminocalix[4]arenes 1 and 3 showed no toxicity up to 200 and 100 μM concentrations, respectively, while 2 was non-toxic only up to 50 μM. With regard to the haemolytic activity on rabbit red blood cells, 1 was not active at concentrations up to 100 μM in contrast to the other two studied macrocycles. Compounds showed negligible ability to protect either mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells from anthrax lethal toxin of Bacillus anthracis (B. anthracis) or rabbit red blood cells from α-haemolysin of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in comparison to amino-β-cyclodextrins. However, all aminocalix[4]arenes showed potential as antimicrobials. Their minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and S. aureus were in the 16-32 μg/ml concentration range, while minimum lethal concentrations (MLC) varied from 16 to 256 μg/ml depending on the bacteria and aminocalix[4]arene considered. Macrocycle 1 showed partial synergism against S. aureus in tandem with a model antibacterial drug, fusidic acid, at certain concentration combinations.

Abstract
We analyze the structure, hydration, and pK(a) values of p-guanidinoethyl-phenol through a combined experimental and theoretical study. These issues are relevant to understand the mechanism of action of the tetrameric form, the antibacterial compound tetra-p-guanidinoethyl-calix[4]arene (Cx1). The investigated system can also be useful to model other pharmaceutical drugs bearing a guanidine function in the vicinity of an ionizable group and the effect of arginine on the pK(a) of vicinal ionizable residues (in particular tyrosine) in peptides. The p-guanidinoethyl-phenol monomer (mCx1) has two ionizable groups. One important particularity of this system is that it exhibits high molecular flexibility that potentially leads to enhanced stabilization in folded structures by direct, strong Coulombic interactions between the ionizable groups. The first pK(a) corresponding to ionization of the -OH group has experimentally been shown to be only slightly different from usual values in substituted phenols. However, because of short-range Coulombic interactions, the role of intramolecular interactions and solvation effects on the acidities of this compound is expected to be important and it has been analyzed here on the basis of theoretical calculations. We use a discrete-continuum solvation model together with quantum-mechanical calculations at the B3LYP level of theory and the extended 6-311+G(2df,2p) basis set. Both intra- and intermolecular effects are very large (~70 kcal/mol) but exhibit an almost perfect compensation, thus explaining that the actual pK(a) of mCx1 is close to free phenol. The same compensation of environmental effects applies to the second pK(a) that concerns the guanidinium group. Such a pK(a) could not be determined experimentally with standard titration techniques and in fact the theoretical study predicts a value of 14.2, that is, one unit above the pK(a) of the parent ethyl-guanidinium molecule.

Abstract
Two well-known antibiotic heterocycles, the 'quinolone' nalidixic acid and the β-lactam penicillin V, active at different levels of the bacterial growth process, have been attached via an ether-ester junction to the p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene lower rim, in alternate position. The resulting hydrophobic molecular drug-organisers were fully characterized, and evaluated over two Gram negative and three Gram positive reference strains, using disk diffusion assays with disks impregnated with solution of title compound in pure DMSO. An interesting activity was observed over Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 with the dis-symmetrical podand incorporating one penicillin and one nalidixic ester moieties.
