Contrasting calixarenes: Thermodynamically stable and water-soluble calix[4]arene–LnIII (see picture) complexes may represent a new class of relaxation (Ln=Gd) or luminescent (Ln=Eu, Tb) probes for biomedical studies. The first complete characterization of one of these complexes in water is reported. The GdIII chelate shows a strong binding affinity with human serum albumin as a result of the cooperative effects of hydrophobic interaction and coordination by donors groups on the protein.

Abstract

Contrasting calixarenes: Thermodynamically stable and water-soluble calix[4]arene–LnIII (see picture) complexes may represent a new class of relaxation (Ln=Gd) or luminescent (Ln=Eu, Tb) probes for biomedical studies. The first complete characterization of one of these complexes in water is reported. The GdIII chelate shows a strong binding affinity with human serum albumin as a result of the cooperative effects of hydrophobic interaction and coordination by donors groups on the protein.
