Calix[4]arene-cholic acid conjugates: a new class of efficient synthetic ionophores

Chem Commun (Camb). 2005 Mar 14:(10):1354-6. doi: 10.1039/b415908j. Epub 2005 Jan 21.

Abstract

The synthesis of a new class of amphiphilic calix[4]arene-based ionophores, relying on direct reductive amination as a key step, and the evaluation of their H+ and Na+ transporting properties is described.
