Abstract

Amphiphilic calix[4]arenes were designed as phospholipid mimics by incorporating PO₃H₂ or NMe₃⁺ head groups. Using PC12 cells and three stressors (H₂O₂, menadione and glutamate), we established safe calix[4]arene levels that are able not only to deliver antioxidant payloads of curcumin, but intriguingly also have inherent antioxidant properties. The calix[4]arenes appear to be potent synthetic antioxidants that could be used as nano-carriers for drug delivery.
