    Abstract

    Amphiphilic calixarenes bearing ionisable phosphonic acid groups or cationic trimethylamine groups attached to the upper rim of calix[4]arenes in the cone conformation, with dodecyl moieties attached to the lower rim, have a high uptake in PC-12 cells, with the calixarenes being localised cytoplasmically. The calixarenes form tightly packed layers, as established using scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) on atomically flat surfaces, and can form vesicles or micelles. The vesicles have been wrapped in a peptide–glycol coat for enhanced stability.

    Curtin would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Perth campus is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
