New molecular tweezers based on bis-Tröger’s base with methoxycarbonyl groups on its pincers was prepared. These groups were converted into hydroxymethyl groups, which were interconnected by a linker to give the bridged molecular tweezers, a cavitand. The cavitand was studied and its ability to bind nitrobenzene was compared with similar bis-Tröger’s base molecular tweezers.

A new bis-Tröger's base was prepared from a tetraamine precursor as a mixture of two diastereoisomers. One of the isomers has a chair-like geometry, and the other possesses a boat-like geometry, embodying molecular tweezers. A one-pot preparation of bis-TB isomers and their interconversion under acid conditions was also studied. Structures of both isomers were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Extensive spectroscopic data, including 1H and 13C NMR, IR and Raman spectra of the isomers, are given.

AbstractSurvivin’s dual function as apoptosis inhibitor and regulator of cell proliferation is mediated via its interaction with the export receptor CRM1. This protein–protein interaction represents an attractive target in cancer research and therapy. Here, we report a sophisticated strategy addressing Survivin’s nuclear export signal (NES), the binding site of CRM1, with advanced supramolecular tweezers for lysine and arginine. These were covalently connected to small peptides resembling the natural, self-complementary dimer interface which largely overlaps with the NES. Several biochemical methods demonstrated sequence-selective NES recognition and interference with the critical receptor interaction. These data were strongly supported by molecular dynamics simulations and multiscale computational studies. Rational design of lysine tweezers equipped with a peptidic recognition element thus allowed to address a previously unapproachable protein surface area. As an experimental proof-of-principle for specific transport signal interference, this concept should be transferable to any protein epitope with a flanking well-accessible lysine.
