Abstract
Tailed calix[4]resorcarene macrocycle (tail=undecyl) can be used as a platform to assemble four glycosaminoglycan polysaccharide chains to give a new type of proteoglycan mimics. A tetra(chondroitin sulfate) derivative thus obtained from the reaction of macrocyclic octaamine and chondroitin sulfate lactone is readily immobilized on a tissue culture plastic (polystyrene) plate and inhibits fibronectin-mediated adhesion of BHK (baby hamster kidney) cells thereon remarkably strongly with 50% inhibition occurring at a 10ng/mL or 40pM concentration range.
