چکیده

Three shape-persistent aromatic hydrazide macrocycles that bear phenylalanine tripeptide chains have been synthesized. These macrocycles can insert into lipid bilayers to form single-molecular ion channels which exhibit a high NH4(+)/K(+) selectivity.

Aromatically functionalized cyclic tricholate macrocycles: aggregation, transmembrane pore formation, flexibility, and cooperativity.

The aggregation of macrocyclic oligocholates with introverted hydrophilic groups and aromatic side chains was studied by fluorescence spectroscopy and liposome leakage assays. Comparison between the solution and the membrane phase afforded insight into the solvophobically driven aggregation. The macrocycles stacked over one another in lipid membranes to form transmembrane nanopores, driven by a...

Self-assembling subnanometer pores with unusual mass-transport properties.

A long-standing aim in molecular self-assembly is the development of synthetic nanopores capable of mimicking the mass-transport characteristics of biological channels and pores. Here we report a strategy for enforcing the nanotubular assembly of rigid macrocycles in both the solid state and solution based on the interplay of multiple hydrogen-bonding and aromatic π-π stacking interactions. The...

Tuning nanopore formation of oligocholate macrocycles by carboxylic acid dimerization in lipid membranes.

Oligocholate macrocycles self-assemble into transmembrane nanopores by the associative interactions of water molecules inside the amphiphilic macrocycles. Macrocycles functionalized with a terephthalic acid "side chain" displayed significantly higher transport activity for glucose across lipid bilayers than the corresponding methyl ester derivative. Changing the 1,4-substitution of the dicarbox...

Polyfunctionalized macrocycles demonstrate enantioselective and ditopic binding properties.

A pair of enantioselective, ditopic macrocycles is described; the receptors bind chiral ammonium cations in a manner that depends on the stereochemistry of the cation as well as the nature of its counter anion.

Hydrogen bond-assisted macrocyclic oligocholate transporters in lipid membranes.

Three macrocyclic oligocholates containing a carboxyl group, a guanidinium ion, and a Cbz-protected amine, respectively, were studied as membrane transporters for hydrophilic molecules. To permeate glucose across lipid bilayers, the macrocycles stacked over one another to form a transmembrane nanopore, driven by a strong tendency of the water molecules in the internal cavities of the amphiphili...
