报告摘要：生物医用超分子材料
On demand of precision medicine, developing novel biomedical materials is highly appealing. Until now, a lot of nanomaterials, including lipids, polymers, carbon, silica oxides, metal oxides and semiconductor nanocrystals, have been used to formulate nanomedicine that can facilitate better understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of pathological diseases. Supramolecular chemistry has broad potential application for biology and medicine in virtue of molecular recognition and self-assembly. As a result, exploring supramolecular biomedical materials would open an avenue towards precision medicine. Calixarene represents the third generation of supramolecular hosts after crown ether and cyclodextrin. As one family of classical artificial macrocyclic receptors, calixarene shows advantages of facile modification, pre-organized framework and unique binding property. For a few years, we have focused our research interest on biomedical applications by molecular recognition and self-assembly of water-soluble and amphiphilic calixarenes, including biomembrane transport, fluorescent sensing for biomarkers, supramolecular phototheranostics, and inhibiting amyloid fibrillation. In this presentation, I wish to talk about our recent progress on supramolecular biomedical materials based on calixarenes. To be envisaged, calixarene is emerging as one kind of new supramolecular materials for precision medicine with a specialized host-guest recognition site.
