Single-crystal tubular products on the millimetre scale have been synthesized from water-soluble calixarene and phenanthroline in the presence of lanthanides by a hydrothermal method, in which the extended structures contain some 1D infinite channels.

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.

The design of chemotherapeutic drug carriers requires precise information on their interaction with the plasma membrane since the carriers should be internalized by cells without disrupting or compromising the overall integrity of the membrane. In this study, we employ Langmuir monolayers mimicking the outer leaflet of plasma membranes of healthy and cancerous cells to determine the molecular-level interactions with a water-soluble calixarene derivative, -sulfonic acid calix[4]arene (SCX4), which is promising as drug carrier. The cancer membrane models comprised either 40% 1,2-dipalmitoyl--glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) or 1,2-dioleoyl--glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC), 30% cholesterol (Chol), 20% 1,2-dipalmitoyl--glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DPPE), and 10% 1,2-dipalmitoyl--glycero-3-phospho-l-serine (DPPS).

Ladder oligomers containing calixarene skeletons in the main chain-calix[4]resorcinarene (CRA) ladder macromolecules with open chain and cyclic macromolecules with double ring-like (Noria-type) topologies-bring particular research attention as functional materials with various applications. However, there is still a remarkable lack of studies into the synthesis of fully water-soluble derivatives of these interesting macromolecules. Research on this topic would allow their bio-based research and application niche to be at least revealed.

Stimuli-responsive supramolecular chemotherapy, particularly in response to cancer biomarkers, has emerged as a promising strategy to overcome the limitations associated with traditional chemotherapy. Spermine (SPM) is known to be overexpressed in certain cancers. In this study, we introduced a novel supramolecular chemotherapy system triggered by SPM.
