A screening-level aquatic environmental risk assessment for macrocyclic fragrance materials using a "group approach" is presented using data for 30 macrocyclic fragrance ingredients. In this group approach, conservative estimates of environmental exposure and ecotoxicological effects thresholds for compounds within two subgroups (15 macrocyclic ketones and 15 macrocyclic lactones/lactides) were...

A new 4D-QSAR approach has been considered. For all investigated molecules the 3D structural models have been created and the set of conformers (fourth dimension) have been used. Each conformer is represented as a system of different simplexes (tetratomic fragments of fixed structure, chirality and symmetry). The investigation of influence of molecular structure of macrocyclic pyridinophanes, t...

This highlight review summarizes our recent studies of macrocyclic receptors with precise molecular recognition properties based on two concepts, assembly metal complex units, and desymmetrization components. The metallomacrocycles realized a unique binding by utilizing multipoint coordination rigidity the units. desymmetrized homooligomeric macrocycles achieved employing unsymmetrically arrang...

Largazole is a macrocyclic depsipeptide originally isolated from the marine cyanobacterium Symploca sp., which is indigenous to the warm, blue-green waters of Key Largo, Florida (whence largazole derives its name). Largazole contains an unusual thiazoline-thiazole ring system that rigidifies its macrocyclic skeleton, and it also contains a lipophilic thioester side chain. Hydrolysis of the thio...

The Front Cover image illustrates the proficiency of TEtraQuinoline (TEQ)/Fe(II) complex in oxidative catalysis. macrocyclic architecture was faintly drawn as a black scaffold, and nitrogen atoms Fe(II) cation are highlighted with blue red colors. Purple smoke yellow lightning visually stand for high catalytic activity complex. More information can be found Research Article by Naoya Kumagai et ...

Macrocyclic peptidomimetics are associated with a broad range of biological activities. However, despite such potentially valuable properties, the macrocyclic peptidomimetic structural class is generally considered as being poorly explored within drug discovery. This has been attributed to the lack of general methods for producing collections of macrocyclic peptidomimetics with high levels of s...

The crystal structures of the palladium(II) complexes of the open-chain and macrocyclic ligands PdL(1).3H(2)O, PdL(2).6H(2)O and PdL(3).5H(2)O have been determined (H(2)L(1) = 1,4,8,11-tetraazaundecane-5,7-dione, H(2)L(2) = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-5,7-dione, H(2)L(3) = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotridecane-5,7-dione). The coordination polyhedra of the palladium(II) ions in all complexes are...
