Novel resorcin[4]arenes as potassium-selective ion-channel and transporter mimics.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A series of novel resorcin-[4]arenes with extended pi systems have been synthesised and developed as potassium-selective transporters. Resorcin[4]arenes that feature crown ether moieties function as efficient carriers of K+ across bulk liquid membranes showing enhanced selectivity over the other alkali metal ions relative to a model system (benzo[15]crown-5). Incorporation of functionalities suitable for pore formation, in addition to an extra annulus of aromatic residues, gives molecules which have remarkable ion-channel-mimicking behaviour in a biological lipid bilayer with outstanding K+/Na+ selectivity.

Self-recognition, structure, stability, and guest affinity of pyrogallol[4]arene and resorcin[4]arene capsules in solution.
In the present study, we used diffusion NMR to probe the structures and characteristics of the products obtained from the self-assembly of resorcin[4]arenes 1a and 1b and pyrogallol[4]arenes 2a and 2b in CDCl(3) solutions. It was found that all four molecules self-assemble into hexameric capsules. The hexameric capsules of pyrogallol[4]arenes 2a and 2b were found to be more stable than the caps...

Hydrogen-bond molecular capsules have attracted much interest in the last decade. In the present paper, we wish to describe new insights obtained from diffusion NMR when studying the self-assembly of resorcin[4]arenes (2), pyrogallol[4]arenes (3) and octahydroxypyridine[4]arenes (4) in solution. These diffusion NMR studies demonstrate that compounds 2 and 3 self-assemble spontaneously into hexa...
متن کاملSelective formation of the rctt chair stereoisomers of octa-O-alkyl resorcin[4]arenes using Brønsted acid catalysisw
New synthetic conditions are described for the fully selective formation of the rctt chair stereoisomers of octa-O-alkyl resorcin[4]arenes; these offer a clean route into the chair conformer of these interesting receptor molecules. Brønsted acid catalysis in acetic acid solutions results in the formation of the single isomer when 1,3-dimethoxybenzene is heated at 80 1C with a range of aldehydes...

The stereochemical features of 2,8,14,20-tetrakis(D-leucyl-D-valinamido)resorc[4]arenecarboxylic acid and the N-succinyl-L-alanyl-L-alanyl-L-prolyl-L-phenylalanine-4-nitroanilide polypeptide substrate were investigated by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Proton selective relaxation parameters gave the basis for the inhibitory activity of resorcin[4]arene in the hydrolysis of the polypep...
