Macrocycle-based amphiphiles are capable of self-assembling into multidimensional nano-architecture with defined dimensions for various applications. Herein we report the synthesis, physio-chemical characterizations and oral drug delivery profiling of resorcinarene-based amphiphilic supramolecular macrocycle. The macrocycle was synthesized in two-step reaction and characterized using H NMR, Mass spectrometry and IR spectroscopic techniques. The synthesized macrocycle was assessed for vesicles formation, checked for biocompatibility and then Amphotericin B (Amp-B) was entrapped in macrocycle-based vesicles. The drug loaded vesicles were characterized for shape, size, homogeneity, drug entrapment, surface charge, in-vitro release profile and stability. Amp-B loaded macrocycle based vesicles were examined in rabbits for in-vivo bioavailability and compared with plan drug suspension. The synthesized macrocycle was non-toxic in normal mouse fibroblast cells, compatible with blood and safe in mice. The drug loaded macrocycle based vesicles appeared spherical with 279.4 nm size and - 12.2 mV zeta potential loading 85.45 % drug. The drug loaded vesicles storage stability for 30 days and gastric fluid stability for 1 h were it retained nearly 90 % drug at 30th day and 83.79 % drug at 1 h in gastric fluid. Oral bioavailability of Amp-B in rabbits was markedly enhanced when delivered in synthesized macrocycle based vesicles in comparison with plan drug suspension. Results of this study indicate that the synthesized star shaped tetra-tailed supramolecular amphiphile could be used as an efficient nanocarrier for enhancing oral bioavailability of drugs with solubility and bioavailability issues like Amp-B.

Ipomoeassin F (Ipom-F) is a plant-derived macrocyclic resin glycoside that potently inhibits cancer cell growth through blockage of Sec61-mediated protein translocation at the endoplasmic reticulum. Recently, detailed structural information on how Ipom-F binds to Sec61α was obtained using Cryo-EM, which discovered that polar interactions between asparagine-300 (N300) in Sec61α and four oxygens in Ipom-F are crucial. One of the four oxygens is from the carbonyl group at C-4 of the fatty acid chain.

Article Synopsis
- Cyclization is a key method for improving the drug-like properties of polypeptides, leading to the development of effective proteasome inhibitors.
- A macrocyclic peptide skeleton was created using a simple cyclization technique, showing promising stability and practicality for drug design.
- Half of the synthesized epoxyketone macrocyclic peptidyl proteasome inhibitors had strong inhibitory effects, especially compounds 6f, 6g, and 6m, which exhibited significant anti-cancer activity against multiple cell lines at low concentrations.

Achieving the adsorptive separation and chromatographic separation of industrially the important chemicals toluene and methylcyclohexane using the same material is a highly desirable goal. We have successfully accomplished this using a fluorinated macrocycle tetrafluoroterphen[3]arene (4FTP3), which was synthesized and used for gas chromatographic separation in our previous work. The macrocycle 4FTP3 permitted the adsorptive separation of toluene from a toluene/methylcyclohexane mixture (1:1, v/v) with a purity of 99.

A series of Ni complexes bearing a redox and acid-base noninnocent tetraamido macrocyclic ligand, H-(TAML-4) {H-(TAML-4) = 15,15-dimethyl-5,8,13,17-tetrahydro-5,8,13,17-tetraaza-dibenzo[]cyclotridecene-6,7,14,16-tetraone}, with formal oxidation states of Ni, Ni, and Ni were synthesized and characterized structurally and spectroscopically. The X-ray crystallographic analysis of the Ni complexes revealed a square planar geometry, and the [Ni(TAML-4)] complex with the formal oxidation state of Ni was characterized to be [Ni(TAML-4)] with the oxidation state of the Ni ion and the one-electron oxidized TAML-4 ligand, TAML-4. The Ni oxidation state and the TAML-4 radical cation ligand, TAML-4, were supported by X-ray absorption spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations.
