The nature of the dendrimer-mycophenolic acid (MPA) complex was investigated by (1)H NMR and 2D NOESY spectroscopy. The (1)H NMR analysis proved that the water-soluble supramolecular structure of the complex was formed based on ionic interactions between dendrimers and MPA molecules on the surface as well as hydrophobic interactions/hydrogen-bond interactions in the interior pockets of dendrimers. The 2D NOESY analysis predicted the localization of MPA molecules in the pockets of dendrimers and gave information on the detailed interactions between dendrimer scaffolds and MPA molecules in the interior. Further solubility and release studies investigated the physicochemical properties of the dendrimer-MPA complexes. These results showed that the host-guest chemistry of dendrimer-MPA complexes proposed by NMR techniques explains the solubilization and release behavior of MPA in the presence of PAMAM dendrimers well. The general host-guest chemistry of the dendrimer-drug complex is promising for the development of new drug delivery systems.

The research of chiral separation technology is of great significance for understanding the origin of life and promoting the application of chiral molecules. Herein, anionic chiral pillar[6]arene and cationic pillar[6]arene were designed and synthesized, and a chiral pillar[6]arene membrane was constructed by layer-by-layer assembly through electrostatic interactions. The transport rates of l and d in this channel were 14.

Pillararenes and their derivatives have emerged in supramolecular chemistry as unique macrocycles for applications in host-guest chemistry, materials science and biomimetics. Many variations have been conceived and synthesized in recent years and in this review, we relate progress in water-soluble versions: leaning towerarenes, extended-pillararenes, biphenarenes, helicarenes and octopusarenes. These are applied in targeted drug delivery, selective uptake and release of aromatic guests, fabrication of gold/silver and mesoporous silica nanoparticles, cell imaging, pollutant separation, biomedicine (e.

An empirical equation relating electrophoretic mobility and ionic strength was proposed. The equation includes a number of parameters that are found using the mobilities of reference ions: two coefficients in the numerator describing the linear relationship of the multiplier in front of the square root of the ionic strength with the product of the ion mobility in the background electrolyte (BGE) without additives by the modulus of the charge number, raised to a certain power, and also the multiplier in the denominator before the square root of the ionic strength. The proposed equation was tested using the mobilities measured in BGEs with the addition of sodium chloride to adjust ionic strength and sulfated β-cyclodextrin (S-β-CD) for 11 anions with charge numbers from -1 to -4.

Biological systems are complex, encompassing intertwined spatial, molecular and functional features. However, methodological constraints limit the completeness of information that can be extracted. Here, we report the development of INSIHGT, a non-destructive, accessible three-dimensional (3D) spatial biology method utilizing superchaotropes and host-guest chemistry to achieve homogeneous, deep penetration of macromolecular probes up to centimeter scales, providing reliable semi-quantitative signals throughout the tissue volume.

Chiral macrocycles have emerged as attractive media for chromatographic enantioseparation due to their excellent host-guest recognition properties. In this study, a new chiral stationary phase (CSP) based on 1,1'-binaphthyl chiral polyimine macrocycle (CPM) was reported. The CPM was synthesized by one-step aldehyde-amine condensation of (S)-2,2'-dihydroxy-[1,1'-binaphthalene]-3,3'-dicarboxaldehyde with 1,2-phenylenediamine and bonded on thiolated silica via the thiol-ene click reaction to afford the CSP.
