    Abstract Rotaxanes are unique mechanical devices that hold great promise as sensors. We report on two new rotaxanes that contain an acid or base sensitive trigger and readily disassemble in a wide range of environments. Disassemblage was observed under TLC and ¹H-NMR analysis. The axle is highly charged, which enhances solubility in aqueous environments, and can be readily derivatized with sensor components. The trigger was swapped in a one-pot method, which is promising for the rapid production of a series of sensors.

    Abstract Cytotoxic agents that specifically target cancer cells are in high demand. Modifying drugs with targeting groups however, can produce deleterious effects on drug pharmokinetics. In this study, platinum (Pt) was linked with host-rotaxanes to discover the effect on the cytotoxicity of Pt when carried by a highly modified rotaxane as a ligand. One host-rotaxane (Pt-BocRot) contains the basic components of a rotaxane: wheel (with a Boc protecting group), axle, and blocking group. A second rotaxane (Pt-ArgRot) contains arginine moieties on its wheel instead to potentially improve association with the phosphate groups on cell membranes or DNA backbone. The cytotoxicities of the rotaxanes and various model compounds were determined using ovarian cancer SKOV-3 cell line, which is resistant to cisplatin. We found Pt-ArgRot was slightly more cytotoxic than Pt-BocRot. Both were clearly more cytotoxic than rotaxanes without Pt and the model compounds. As importantly, they killed cells through an apoptotic mechanism. These results suggest that targeting agents for a particular cell type can be incorporated with Pt-complexes using the rotaxane architecture to improve drug specificity.

    Abstract Proteins can reduce the entropic penalty for ligand association through a favorable change in configurational entropy. To investigate this process, the Delta G(o), Delta H(o), and DeltaS(o) of complexes formed between host-rotaxanes and guests were determined and compared to discover the relationship between rotaxane-structure and the energies involved in guest-association in water and DMSO. Fluorescence quenching assays provided the association constants. Van't Hoff analysis of variable temperature assays gave the enthalpies of binding. The driving force for the association of a guest and a host-rotaxane can switch from being enthalpically to entropically driven with a change in the solvent or guest. This study shows that a dramatic increase in the entropy of binding can be obtained through the addition of a rotaxane-wheel to a synthetic host. An increased motion of the wheel appears to be the source of the positive binding entropy, which would be an example of favorable configurational entropy promoting complex formation.

    Abstract Materials that bind metal cations are highly sought after for new devices. In this report, we show that rotaxanes can transfer metal cations with picrate, perchlorate, or chloride counterions from an aqueous solution into chloroform. The rotaxanes contain a dibenzyl-24-crown-8 ether as the wheel with either a benzyl-18-crown-6 ether (CEBG-R1-3) or a 3,5-dimethylbenzyl moiety (ArBG-R) as one blocking group. Alkali and alkaline picrate salts were efficiently extracted from an aqueous solution, presented in the millimolar range, into chloroform. Large association constants were derived for the complexes in chloroform, especially for the divalent cation Mg(2+). Switching the counterion to chloride greatly diminished the amount of salt extracted. To explore the transfer mechanism of the rotaxanes, a comparison was made in the amount of NaClO(4), KClO(4), NaCl, and KCl extracted by CEBG-R1, ArBG-R, benzyl-18-crown-6 ether (B18C6), and two model compounds, which were used to represent the crown-ether blocking group and the axle of a rotaxane. Two-dimensional NMR analysis was performed on the rotaxane-cation complexes in CDCl(3). We found that the host rotaxanes transfer the perchlorate salts poorly when compared to B18C6, but they transfer chloride salts from 1 M salt solutions, whereas B18C6 does not. The transfer of chloride salts appears to rely on an allosteric type relationship between the binding of the chloride ion and metal cation to a rotaxane. Accordingly, when chloride binds to the dialkylammonium ion of the axle, the wheel moves along the axle and forms a binding site for a metal cation. In this report we demonstrate that host rotaxanes can bind metal cations, change their geometries upon cation and anion association, and operate through allosteric mechanisms, making them promising candidates for molecular devices.

    Abstract Mimetic protein cores were created that align a set of l-Phe, d-Phe, or l-Leu residues in a parallel or an antiparallel arrangement in chloroform. Not all cores show a single conformation at room temperature. Stable structures require a synergistic relationship between the H-bonding groups and the residues within the core. The spatial arrangement of the side chains dictates whether a zippered or a crossed pattern of H-bonds is observed for these cores. Variable-temperature (1)H NMR experiments were used to determine the strengths of the H-bonds. The existence of H-bonds was verified through FTIR spectroscopic analysis. Large temperature coefficients exist for some protons of aromatic rings that are held in a T-shaped arrangement. A comparison of these temperature coefficients shows that a more stable core is obtained by combining benzenoid and nitrobenzenoid rings as compared to benzenoid rings. Structures were determined using a combination of 2D NMR analysis and molecular modeling.

    Abstract Synthetic methodology was developed to construct amino acid-[2]rotaxanes that have phenylalanine and 3,5-di-tert-butylbenzene as blocking groups and dibenzo-24-crown-8, derivatized with either N-acetylargininyl or a carboxylic group, as the ring. A relative measure of the intramolecular interaction energies between the functional groups in DMSO/water mixtures is obtained by comparing their pK(a) values. Rotaxane structures were investigated through 2D NMR analysis and molecular dynamics simulations. Association constants for complexes of amino acids and rotaxanes in various protonation states were determined in a variety of solvent systems by (1)H NMR analysis. The unique intracomponent interactions that exist in the rotaxanes and their ability to act as artificial receptors are discussed.
