Synthetic macrocycles such as calixarenes and cucurbiturils are increasingly applied as mediators of protein assembly and crystallization. The macrocycle can facilitate assembly by providing a surface on which two or more proteins bind simultaneously. This work explores the capacity of the sulfonato-calix[n]arene (sclx n ) series to effect crystallization of PAF, a small, cationic antifungal protein. Co-crystallization with sclx4, sclx6 or sclx8 led to high-resolution crystal structures. In the absence of sclx n , diffraction-quality crystals of PAF were not obtained. Interestingly, all three sclx n were bound to a similar patch on PAF. The largest and most flexible variant, sclx8, yielded a dimer of PAF. Complex formation was evident in solution via NMR and ITC experiments, showing more pronounced effects with increasing macrocycle size. In agreement with the crystal structure, the ITC data suggested that sclx8 acts as a bidentate ligand. The contributions of calixarene size/conformation to protein recognition and assembly are discussed. Finally, it is suggested that the conserved binding site for anionic calixarenes implicates this region of PAF in membrane binding, which is a prerequisite for antifungal activity.

Three isomeric Me8[14]anes, LA, LB and LC, undergo complexation with copper(II) salts to form a series of [CuLXn(H2O)x]Xy.(H2O)z complexes where L = LA, LB and LC; X = Cl, Br, NO3; n, x, y and z may have values of 0, 1 or 2. The complexes have been characterised on the basis of analytical, spectroscopic, magnetic and conductance data. Further, the X-ray crystal structure of one complex, [CuLB(OH2)2](NO3)2, has been determined. The antifungal activity of all three isomeric ligands and their complexes has been investigated against a range of phytopathogenic fungi.

We report here the synthesis and the X-ray crystallography of dihydroisoquinoline oxaziridines with methyl substitute in position 1 and with nitro group in position 7 (compound 3b). We also synthesized the compound 3a without nitro. These compounds have been prepared by the peracidic oxidation of imines with m-chloroperbenzoic (m-CPBA) like oxidizing agent. This two compounds exhibit higher antifungal activity.
