Transport of macrocyclic compounds across phospholipid bilayers by umbrella-rotaxanes

Abstract

We report the synthesis and assembly of umbrella-rotaxanes with transmembrane transport properties. We describe their amphomorphism and validate their ability to penetrate and cross phospholipid bilayers. Furthermore we present the strategy to release the macrocyclic compound by enzymatic cleavage inside egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (EYPC) liposomes.
