Functionalized Calixarenes Drug-Sensing Receptor: A Review
Journal Title: Medicinal & Analytical Chemistry International Journal - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
This review gives a comprehensive insight on the functionalized calixarenes in the field of drug sensing. The spectacular feature of calixarenes with three-dimensional surface makes it capable as sensor for a drug. Under the calixarene scaffold, there are reports on different sensing applications which include calixarene functionalized nanoparticles, drug interactions which are also reviewed in this article. Herein, a brief survey is presented which includes sensing of toxic heavy metal ion, molecules and drugs interactions.
