[reaction: see text] Tetramethoxy[2.1.2.1]metacyclophane ([2.1.2.1]MCP) was prepared by the pinacol coupling reaction of diphenylmethane dialdehyde. The treatment of [2.1.2.1]MCP with trimethylsilyl chloride and sodium iodide yielded two unexpected calixarene derivatives, cone (hemisphere) and 1,2-alternate types, instead of octahydroxy[2.1.2.1]MCP. The X-ray structure of the cone-type derivative and its inclusion property with acetonitrile were also discussed.

Macrocyclic structures are popular in supramolecular chemistry and have enjoyed considerable success as platforms for elaboration to container compounds and new materials. Host/guest studies in organic media have relied heavily on structures derived from crown ethers, calixarenes, cucurbiturils, resorcinarenes and pillararenes over the past decades. More recently, their water-soluble versions have been developed for potential applications in biology.

This study explores how water content modulates the self-assembly and fluorescence behavior of two novel calix[4]resorcinarene macrocycles. These macrocycles transition from large, flattened structures in pure THF to large giant vesicles (500-5000 nm) coexisting with small micelles (3.4-3.

Autophagy is a ubiquitous process of organelle interaction in eukaryotic cells, in which various organelles or proteins are recycled and operated through the autophagy pathway to ensure nutrient and energy homeostasis. Although numerous fluorescent probes have been developed to image autophagy, these environment-responsive probes suffer from inherent deficiencies such as inaccuracy and limited versatility. Here, we present a modular macrocyclic amphiphile Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) platform (SC6A12C/NCM, SN), constructed through the amphiphilic assembly of sulfonatocalix[6]arene (SC6A12C) with N-cetylmorpholine (NCM) for lysosome targeting.

Article Synopsis
- * The study introduces new "fine-tuned" ChE inhibitors called PAMAM-calix-dendrimers, which were designed and synthesized with varying terminal fragments.
- * Experimental results show that these dendrimers effectively inhibit human acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase, with their activity linked to their structure, paving the way for future drug development.
