Article Abstract
Three new fumaramide-derived [3]rotaxanes have been synthesized, with the aim of macrocycle linking to form a molecular box. In one case, a nine-component templated [3]rotaxane synthesis was accomplished in 40% yield. Rotaxane reduction resulted in an unexpectedly facile de-slipping process.

Aim: Pseudomonas aeruginosa employs the quorum sensing (QS) system, a sophisticated cell-to-cell communication mechanism, to modulate the synthesis and secretion of a range of virulence factors, which contribute to the establishment of acute or chronic infections in hosts. This study seeks to attenuate the virulence of P. aeruginosa by inhibiting the QS system, thereby reducing its pathogenicity as a promising alternative to traditional antibiotics.

The COVID-19 pandemic is caused by SARS-CoV-2, a highly transmissible and pathogenic RNA betacoronavirus. Like other RNA viruses, SARS-CoV-2 continues to evolve with or without drug selection pressure, and many variants have emerged since the beginning of the pandemic. The papain-like protease, PL, is a cysteine protease that cleaves viral polyproteins as well as ubiquitin and ISG15 modifications from host proteins.

The development of efficient methods for the synthesis of mechanically interlocked compounds is currently considered a major challenge in supramolecular chemistry. Twofold vinylogous fumaramides, a class of conjugated bis(enaminones), successfully achieve the assembly of hydrogen-bonded amide-based rotaxanes, with a templating ability comparable to that of their parent fumaramide-based systems, showcasing full conversions and impressive yields up to 92%. Computational calculations offer a compelling explanation for the remarkable efficiency of these bis(enaminones) in driving the synthesis of unprecedented rotaxanes.

The macrocycle effect of [2]rotaxane on the highly -stereoselective cyclization reaction of -benzylfumaramide was extensively investigated by various computational methods, including DFT and high-level DLPNO-CCSD(T) methods. Our computational results suggest that the most favorable mechanism of the CsOH-promoted cyclization of the fumaramide into -lactam within [2]rotaxane initiates with deprotonation of a -benzyl group of the interlocked fumaramide substrate by CsOH, followed by the -selective C-C bond formation and protonation by one amide functional group of the macrocycle. Our distortion/interaction analysis further shows that the uncommon -stereoselective cyclization forming β-lactam within the rotaxane may be attributed to a higher distortion energy (mainly from the distortion of the twisted fumaramide conformation enforced by the rotaxane).

The synthesis of a ditopic interlocked building-block and its self-assembly into a cyclic dimer is reported herein. Starting from a thread with two recognition sites, a three-component clipping reaction was carried out to construct a bistable [2]rotaxane. A subsequent Suzuki cross-coupling reaction allowed the connection of a second ring to that of the rotaxane, affording a self-complementary ditopic system.
