A decacationic water-soluble pillar[5]arene possessing a nonsolvated hydrophobic core has been designed and synthesized. This supramolecular host is capable of binding xenon, as evidenced by hyperCEST depletion experiments. Fluorescence-based studies also demonstrate that xenon binds into the cavity of the pillararene with an association constant of 4.6 × 10 M. These data indicate that the water-soluble pillararene is a potential scaffold for building contrast agents that can be detected by xenon-129 magnetic resonance imaging.
一种具有非溶剂化疏水核心的十阳离子水溶性柱[5]芳烃已被设计并合成。这种超分子主体能够结合氙,超CEST耗竭实验证明了这一点。基于荧光的研究还表明,氙以4.6×10 M的缔合常数结合到柱芳烃的空腔中。这些数据表明,水溶性柱芳烃是构建可通过氙-129磁共振成像检测的造影剂的潜在支架。
