Making Ethoxypillar[6]arene - The Future of Drug Delivery?

  • In this video I'm tackling another cool looking molecule called ethoxypillar[6]arene, belonging to the class of pillararenes. Pillararenes have only been in the picture since 2008 and are therefore a very new class of molecules with few applications. Yet, there is interest in using it for drug delivery, especially pillar[6]arenes which can hold large molecules (like many drugs are) inside their structure. The whole complex has a different polarity than a drug alone, therefore the complex could pass into parts of the body the drug wouldn't be able to go alone.
    Procedure that i followed:
    www.orgsyn.org/demo.aspx?prep=...
    Much praise to the scientists who developed this method and made pillar[6]arenes accessible. I'll be following with curiosity if pillar[6]arenes will be applied in any drug delivery methods.

    These look really promising for future medicine and pharmacology; I think it's fascinating that we'll be able to hide "stowaway" drugs within the pillararene to sneak it through the blood brain barrier, like some kind of chemical Trojan horse lol

      yeah its an odd thought. the only usage i can think of though is like when you have something like loperamide which is known to be a full mu-opioid agonist in the myenteric plexus in the gut which makes it effective for incontinence but it cant cross the BBB. So if put in a pillararene, which isnt swept away by enzymes like P-glycoproteins or monoamine oxidase, it could be used in a different way than normal. But obviously used with something more practical and useful.

      @@lazyman114 OrgSyn refers to an online chemistry journal where procedures (developed by a team of chemists) to make a molecule are submitted for consideration by a separate team of 'checkers'. These checkers duplicate the procedures independently of the submitters, perform chemical analysis on each molecule in the synthesis and confirm the purity and identity of the final product. In this way one can be sure that any procedure in Org Syn will yield high quality material. However, in general chemists use a variety of methods to identify the things they use in the laboratory including NMR, HPLC, abscorption spectroscopy and mass spectrometry etc.

      Looked into it a bit looks like it’s just inclusion of chlorohexane (during the closing of the ring) that yields the 6 over the 5. I suppose the polarity of ClCy is key bc to have the pillar5arene they use 1,2-dichloroethane

    They didn't shorten the name to pillarene, that is just disappointing.
    But since the nomenclature is free, I propose pillarenes be actual pillars, like at least two layers of pillar[n]arene rings on top of each other. Kinda like a shitty short carbon nanotube. Then if we close the tubes with a flat top like a benzene ring we can have pillar-pillarenes. If we close them with "rounder" caps like a trialkylamine we can have pill-pillarenes.
    In a general case I propose pillarenes to be relatives of carbon nanotubes which lack conjugation along and/or around the tube.
    IUPAC, get on it! Make it canon.
