Here is reported the synthesis and characterization of an interlocked figure-of-eight rotaxane molecular shuttle from a dibenzo-24-crown-8 (DB24C8) derivative. This latter bears two molecular chains, whose extremities are able to react together by click chemistry. One of the two substituting chain holds an ammonium function aimed at driving the self-entanglement through the complexation of the DB24C8 moiety.

Here, we present a protocol to set up and study 2D keratinocyte-melanocyte co-cultures and 3D full-thickness human skin equivalents. We describe steps for culturing of keratinocyte and melanocyte lines and the establishment of both 2D and 3D co-cultures. The cultures are utilized to measure melanin content and investigate mechanisms driving melanin production and transfer, through flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry.
