TL;DR: By interfering with pathogen adhesion, such glycocompounds including glycopolymers, glycoclusters, glycodendrimers and glyconanoparticles have the potential to improve or replace antibiotic treatments that are now subverted by resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calixarene-based multivalent ligands
TL;DR: This tutorial review illustrates the fundamental aspects of multivalency and the properties of calixarene-based multivalent ligands in lectin binding and inhibition, DNA condensation and cell transfection, protein surface recognition, self-assembly, crystal engineering, and nanofabrication.
Journal ArticleDOI
Peptido- and glycocalixarenes: playing with hydrogen bonds around hydrophobic cavities.
TL;DR: Glycocalix[4]arenes show the phenomenon of multivalency in their binding to specific lectins, and those bearing thiourea spacers between the calix[ 4]arene scaffold and the sugar units are able to bind aromatic carboxylates and phosphates, making them attractive as novel site specific drug delivery systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA condensation and cell transfection properties of guanidinium calixarenes: dependence on macrocycle lipophilicity, size, and conformation.
Francesco Sansone,Miroslav Dudic,Gaetano Donofrio,Claudio Rivetti,Laura Baldini,Alessandro Casnati,Sara Cellai,Rocco Ungaro +7 more
TL;DR: Atomic force microscopy studies indicate that upon DNA binding the hydrophobic association of the lipophilic chains of cone guanidinium calix[4]arenes drives the formation of intramolecular DNA condensates, characterized by DNA loops emerging from a dense core.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calixarenes: from biomimetic receptors to multivalent ligands for biomolecular recognition
TL;DR: Examples of calixarene macrocycles spanning the recognition of small peptides and carbohydrates to ion transport through membranes, biomimetic catalysis, DNA condensation and cell transfection, protein binding, sensing and inhibition are illustrated.
