Abstract
Macrocyclic receptors can serve as alternatives to natural recognition systems as recognition tools. They provide effectively preorganized cavities to encapsulate guests via host-guest interactions, thereby affecting the physiochemical properties of the guests. Macrocyclic receptors exhibit chemical and thermal stabilities higher than those of natural receptors and thus are expected to resist degradation inside the body. This reduces the risk of harmful degradation byproducts and ensures optimal levels of effectiveness. Macrocyclic receptors have precise molecular weights and well-defined structures; this ensures their batch-to-batch reproducibility, which is critical for ensuring quality and effectiveness levels. Moreover, macrocyclic receptors exhibit broad modification tunabilities, rendering them adaptable to various guests. Molecular recognition is the basis of numerous biological processes. Macrocyclic receptors may display considerable potential for application in diagnosing and treating diseases, depending on the host-guest recognition of bioactive molecules. However, the binding affinities and selectivities of macrocyclic receptors toward bioactive molecules are generally insufficient, which may lead to problems such as low diagnosis accuracies, off-target leaking, and interference with normal functions. Therefore, addressing the challenge of the strong and specific complexation of bioactive molecules and macrocyclic receptors is imperative.To overcome this challenge, we proposed the innovative strategies of longitudinal cavity extension and coassembled heteromultivalent recognition for application in the recognition of small molecules and biomacromolecules, respectively. The deepened cavity provides a stronger hydrophobic effect and a larger interaction area while maintaining the framework rigidity. By coassembling two macrocyclic amphiphiles into one ensemble, we achieved the desired heteromultivalent recognition. This strategy affords the necessary binding properties while preventing the requirement of tedious steps and site mismatch in covalent synthesis. Using these two strategies, we achieved specific and strong binding of macrocyclic receptors to various bioactive molecules including biomarkers, drugs, and disease-related peptides/proteins. We then applied these macrocyclic receptor-based recognition systems in biosensing and bioimaging, drug delivery, and therapeutics.In this Account, we summarize the strategies we used in the recognition of small molecules and biomacromolecules. Thereafter, we discuss their applications in precision medicine, involving the (1) sensing of biomarkers and imaging of lesion sites, which are critical in the early screening of diseases and accurate diagnoses; (2) precise loading and targeted delivery of drugs, which are crucial in improving their therapeutic efficacies and reducing their side effects; and (3) capture and removal of disease-related biomacromolecules, which are significant for precise intervention in life processes. Finally, we propose recommendations for the further development of macrocyclic receptor-based recognition systems in biomedicine. Macrocyclic receptors exhibit considerable potential for research, and continued investigation may not only expand the applications of supramolecular chemistry but also open novel avenues for the development of precision medicine.

Abstract
The functionality of p-sulfonatocalix[4]arenes can be easily extended using the propargylation/CuAAC reaction sequence, which allows the introduction of up to four substituted triazole units to the narrow rims of the macrocycles while maintaining their cone shapes and water solubility and, thus, biomedical applicability.

Abstract
A facile reversed-phase microemulsion method was used to synthesize shell-core nanospheres of SiO2@RCs (SiO2-encapsuled rare-earth metal complexes). β-d-Galactose was then grafted onto the surfaces of the nanospheres through the copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition click reaction for targeted delivery. The chemical characteristics and surface profiles of the nanocarriers were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. A high-efficiency microwave synthesis method was applied to prepare five complex cores by the reaction of different rare-earth metal salts with two isomeric ligands, o-CPA (2-chlorophenoxyacetic acid) and m-CPA (3-chlorophenoxyacetic acid). The crystal structures of the five synthesized RC cores were confirmed through X-ray diffraction, which revealed the formulas of five RCs, [Dy( o-CPA)3(H2O)]·H2O RC1, [Ho( o-CPA)3(H2O)]·H2O RC2, 2[Er( m-CPA)3(H2O)]·3H2O RC3, 2[Gd( m-CPA)3(H2O)]·3H2O RC4, and [Ce2( m-CPA)6(H2O)3]·2H2O RC5. An in vitro cell study revealed that all RCs exhibited certain anticancer activities. RC2, in particular, showed the strongest cytotoxicity against HepG2 cells. The enhanced cell permeability and drug retention considerably improved the cytotoxicity of all SiO2@RC2-gal relative to that of RC2. The selective uptake of the β-d-galactose-conjugated nanospheres by HepG2 cells through mechanisms mediated by cell surface receptors resulted in fewer side effects on extrahepatic tissues. Our contribution provides a novel design concept of a target SiO2@RCs-gal nanocarrier for delivering affordable antitumor complexes in cancer therapy.

Reaction of 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-dihydroxy-26,28-bis(2-pentoxy)calix[4]arene (L(OH)2(Opentyl)2) with [TiCl4] afforded the dichlorotitanoacalix[4]arene complex [TiCl2L(O)2(Opentyl)2] (1) in good yield. Hydrolysis of 1 led to the isolation of the complex {[TiL(O)3(Opentyl)]2(μ-OH)(μ-Cl)} (2). Reaction of 5,11,17,23,29,35,41,47-p-tert-butyl-49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56-octapropoxycalix[8]arene (L'(Opropyl)8) with [TiCl4] in refluxing toluene afforded, following work-up, a 35 : 65 mixture (3) of the complex [Ti(NCMe)Cl]2[TiCl(μ-O)]2L' and the silicone grease derived complex [Ti(NCMe)Cl]2[Ti(μ-O)]2[OSi(CH3)2OSi(CH3)2O]L' in which the grease replaces two chloride ligands. The molecular structures of 1·2MeCN, 2·7¼MeCN, and 3·10MeCN have been determined. The complexes were studied using in vitro cell assays and were found to have CC50 values in the range 111-186 μM, i.e. they have low toxicity.

Abstract
Previously, phosphonic acid derivatives of calix[4]arene and thiacalix[4]arene were found to be potential inhibitors of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B. In the present paper, the inhibitory activity of unsubstituted sulfonyl-bridget calix[4]arene towards some of the therapeutically important protein tyrosine phosphatases has been established. The obtained results showed that the sulfonylcalix[4]arene is able to inhibit protein tyrosine phosphatase MEG2 with IC50 value in the micromolar range. At the same time, the inhibitor demonstrated lower activity in case of other protein tyrosine phosphatases such as PTP1B, MEG1, TC-PTP, SHP2, and PTPβ. The performed molecular docking indicated that the inhibitor binds to the active site region of MEG2 and PTP1B with WPD-loop in the open conformation.
