Here we present how a supramolecular complex of Glycyrrhizic acid (GA) with Menthol (Mt) affects the blood glucose levels and glycogen synthesis in the liver of rats in in-vivo experiments with diabetes caused by alloxan. We have shown that Menthol, Glycyrrhizic acid and GA:Mt supramolecular complexes can restore functional dysfunction of the liver mitochondria in alloxan diabetes, i.e., inhibit lipid peroxidation. The hypoglycemic activity and mitochondrial membrane stabilizing properties of the supramolecular complex GA:Mt (4:1) in alloxan diabetes were more pronounced than those of menthol, GA and its GA:Mt (2:1) and GA: Mt (9:1) supramolecular complexes.

We report the effect of pH on the supramolecular complexation of two biothiols, viz., homocysteine (Hcy) and cysteine (Cys), with cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]). Under basic pH conditions, Cys did not complex with CB[7], whereas Hcy efficiently complexed with CB[7], as confirmed by ¹H NMR spectroscopy and Ellman's reagent (5,5'-dithio-bis(2-nitrobenzoic acid), DTNB) assay. ¹H NMR and Raman spectroscopic studies revealed that, in the absence of CB[7], Hcy auto-oxidized slowly (~36 h) to homocystine (HSSH) under basic pH conditions. However, the rate of Hcy oxidation increased by up to 150 fold in the presence of CB[7], as suggested by the DTNB assay. Thus, supramolecular complexation under basic pH conditions led to the formation of a HSSH-CB[7] complex, and not Hcy-CB[7]. The results indicate that Hcy is rapidly oxidized to HSSH under the catalysis of CB[7], which acts as a reaction chamber, in basic pH conditions. Our studies suggest that Hcy concentration, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, can be selectively and more easily quantified by supramolecular complexation with CB [7].

The self-assembly of supramolecular dendrimers allows the rapid construction of nanosized structures with regularly ordered features that depend on the shape of the molecules and the relative strength of the intra-and intermolecular interactions. Here we report on a dramatic improvement in the degree of control and selectivity in the orientation of fan-shaped supramolecular molecules over a large area, which has been achieved by confined geometries and applied fields. The order and orientation of supramolecular dendrimers can be controlled by surface anchoring in confined geometries. POM, SEM, TEM, AFM and XRD results show that the molecules form the complicated defect-ordering in the microchannels with different feature sizes. We show that these defect domains are strongly influenced by the boundary and feature size of the surfaces. This technique can be used to create a grain size in the plane of the film that is much larger than that which can be achieved using previously reported soft-material based pattering.

Well-modified amino-appended ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin ($AA-{\beta}-CD$) with an amino group at the primary face of the ${\beta}-CD$ was synthesized and used in the catalytic synthesis of chromeno pyrimido[1,2-b]indazol as supramolecular catalysts in water for the first time. $AA-{\beta}-CD$ was characterized by FT-IR, NMR, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, and SEM analysis. A possible reaction mechanism featuring molecular complexation was suggested based on 2D NMR (ROESY) spectroscopy, FE-SEM, DSC, and FT-IR. Advantages such as operational simplicity, recyclability of the catalysts, and accessibility in aqueous medium render this protocol eco-friendly.

A novel supramolecular network containing binuclear copper unit $[Cu(phen)_{2}({\mu}-ID\;A)Cu(phen){\cdot}(NO_{3})](NO_{3}){\cdot}4(H_{2}O)$ (1) was synthesized through the self-assembly of iminodiacetic acid ($H_2IDA$) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) in the condition of pH = 6. It has been characterized by the infrared (IR) spectroscopy, elemental analysis, single crystal X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). 1 shows a 2-D supramolecular structure assembled through strong and unique $\pi-\pi$ packing interactions. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that theoretical optimized structures can well reproduce the experimental structure. The TGA and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) curves indicate that the complex 1 can maintain the structural integrity even at the loss of free water molecules. The magnetic property is also reported in this paper.

This paper presents the effect of the supramolecular complex of GA (Glycyrrhizic acid) and Mt(menthol) and GA: Mt (4: 1) obtained on their basis can restore functional dysfunction of the liver mitochondria in alloxan diabetes, ie, inhibit lipid peroxidation. The hypoglycemic activity and mitochondrial membrane stabilizing properties of the supramolecular compound GA: Mt (4: 1) in alloxan diabetes were more pronounced than those of menthol, GA and its GK: Mt (2: 1) and GA: Mt (9: 1) compounds. According to the results obtained, the concentration of GA did not affect the peroxidation of lipid membranes of the liver mitochondria. However, a concentration of 15 μM of GA was found to reduce LPO (lipid peroxidation) formed by the effect of Fe²+ / ascorbate on the mitochondrial membrane by 58.0 ± 5.0% relative to control. The inhibitory effect of GA and its supramolecular compounds in different proportions with menthol on the peroxidation of lipids in rat heart and brain tissue has been studied

아다만탄 또는 β-cyclodextrin이 결합된 루테늄(II)-터피리딘 착화합물(8, 9, 11)을 합성하고 1H NMR, 13C NMR 및 질량분석스펙트럼으로 구조를 확인하였다. 아다만탄이 결합된 루테늄(II)-터피리딘 착화합물(8, 11) 은 물에 전혀 녹지 않으나, β-cyclodextrin 수용액에 혼합할 경우 β-cyclodextrin과의 초분자를 형성하여 물에 잘 녹아들어갔다. 비슷한 방법으로 수용액 중에서 루테늄(II)-터피리딘 착화합물(8, 11)을 각각 착화합물 9와 혼합 하였을 때, 착화합물(8, 11)의 아다만탄 부분이 루테늄 착화합물 9의 β-cyclodextrin 내부에 포접 됨으로써 안정 한 초분자를 형성하였다.
