Abstract
Metabolic abnormalities play a pivotal role in various pathological conditions, necessitating the quantification of specific metabolites for diagnosis. While mass spectrometry remains the primary method for metabolite measurement, its limited throughput underscores the need for biosensors capable of rapid detection. Previously, we reported that pillar[6]arene with 12 carboxylate groups (P6AC) forms host-guest complexes with 1-methylnicotinamide (1-MNA), which is produced in vivo by nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). P6AC acts as a biosensor by measuring the fluorescence quenching caused by photoinduced electron transfer upon 1-MNA binding. However, the low sensitivity of P6AC makes it impractical for detecting 1-MNA in unpurified biological samples. In this study, we found that P6A with 12 sulfonate groups (P6AS) is a specific and potent supramolecular host for 1-MNA interactions even in biological samples. The 1-MNA binding affinity of P6AS in water was found to be (5.68 ± 1.02) × 106 M-1, which is approximately 700-fold higher than that of P6AC. Moreover, the 1-MNA detection limit of P6AS was determined to be 2.84 × 10-7 M, which is substantially lower than that of P6AC. Direct addition of P6AS to culture medium was sufficient to quantify 1-MNA produced by cancer cells. Furthermore, this sensor was able to specifically detect 1-MNA even in unpurified human urine. P6AS therefore enables rapid and high-throughput quantification of 1-MNA, and further improvement of our strategy will contribute to the establishment of high-throughput screening of NNMT inhibitors, diagnosis of liver diseases, and imaging of human cancer cells in vivo.

Abstract
Construction of macrocyclic hosts with a novel structure and excellent property has emerged as an intriguing undertaking for the past few years. Here, we reported the synthesis of shape-persistent triptycene-derived pillar[6]arene (TP[6]). The single crystal structure analysis revealed that the macrocyclic molecule adopts a hexagonal structure, featuring a helical and electron-rich cavity capable of encapsulating electron-deficient guests. In order to obtain chiral TP[6] from an enantiomerically pure triptycene building block, an efficient resolution of chiral triptycene was successfully developed through introducing chiral auxiliaries into triptycene skeletons. The 1H NMR and isothermal titration calorimetry investigations demonstrated that chiral TP[6] exhibited enantioselectivity toward four pairs of chiral guests containing a trimethylamino group, implying a significant promising application in area of enantioselective recognition.
