Macrocycle







Erythromycin, a macrolide antibiotic, is one of many naturally occurring macrocycles.[1]


Macrocycles are often described as molecules and ions containing twelve or more membered ring. Classical examples include the crown ethers, calixarenes, porphyrins, cyclodextrins. Macrocycles describe a large, mature area of chemistry.[2]

IUPAC definition


Macrocycle: Cyclic macromolecule or a macromolecular cyclic portion of a macromolecule.

Note 1: A cyclic macromolecule has no end-groups but may nevertheless be regarded as a
chain.


Note 2: In the literature, the term macrocycle is sometimes used for molecules of low relative molecular mass that would not be considered macromolecules.[3]

Synthesis


The formation of macrocycles by ring-closure is called macrocylization.[4] Pioneering work was reported for studies on terpenoid macrocycles.[5] The central challenge to macrocyclization is that ring-closing reactions do not favor the formation of large rings. Instead, small rings or polymers tend to form. This kinetic problem can be addressed by using high-dilution reactions, whereby intramolecular processes are favored relative to polymerizations.[6]


Some macrocyclizations are favored using template reactions. Templates are ions, molecules, surfaces etc. that bind and pre-organize compounds, guiding them toward formation of a particular ring size.[7] The crown ethers are often generated in the presence of an alkali metal cation, which organizes the condensing components by complexation.[8] An illustrative macrocyclization is the synthesis of (−)-muscone from (+)-citronellal. The 15-membered ring is generated by ring-closing metathesis.[9]

Occurrence and applications


One important application are the many macrocyclic antibiotics, the macrolides, e.g. vancomycin. Many metallocofactors are bound to macrocyclic ligands, which include porphyrins, corrins, and chlorins. These rings arise from multistep biosynthetic processes that also feature macrocycles.


Macrocycles often bind ions and facilitate ion transport across hydrophobic membranes and solvents. The macrocycle envelops the ion with a hydrophobic sheath, which facilitates phase transfer properties.[11]

Macrocycles are often bioactive and could be useful drug delivery.[12][13]

Quarantine

For other uses, see Quarantine (disambiguation). Signal flag "Lima" called the "Yellow Jack" which when flown in harbor means ship is under quarantine. A simple yellow flag (also called the "Yellow Jack") had historically been used to signal quarantine (it stands for Q among signal flags), but now indicates the opposite, as a signal of a ship free of disease that requests boarding and inspection. A quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of people; it is 'a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests', for a certain period of time. [1] This is often used in connection to disease and illness, such as those who may possibly have been exposed to a communicable disease. [2] The term is often erroneously used to mean medical isolation, which is "to separate ill persons who have a communicable disease from those who are healthy...
