 Use of CUCURBIT(8)URIL


Cucurbit[8]uril is a potent, low toxicity and orally active supramolecular inducer of protein heterodimerization. Cucurbit[8]uril induces heterodimerization of methylviologen and naphthalene functionalized proteins. Cucurbit[8]uril can induce energy transfer [1][2].

Protein Heterodimerization[1]

In Vitro Cucurbit[8]uril (0~20 μM; 48 hours; CHO-K1 cells) makes the relative cell viability dropped marginally to 86%[2]. Cucurbit[8]uril indeed selectively induces the heterodimerization of MV–eYFP with Np–eCFP. Cucurbit[8]uril-induced high energy transfer between the proteins is only observed in the presence of all three supramolecular components, allowing the formation of the ternary complex. In the presence of Cucurbit[8]uril, the unspecific protein assembly induced by the methylviologen is inhibited. The ternary system of Cucurbit[8]uril with methylviologen (MV) and naphthalene (NP) can also be successfully used for the formation of selective protein heterodimers of more hydrophobic proteins. The presence of Cucurbit[8]uril as a host molecule is required to prevent MV induced unspecific dimerization with hydrophobic protein surfaces[1]. Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Line: CHO-K1 cells Concentration: 0~20 μM Incubation Time: 48 hours Result: At the highest investigated concentration of 20 μM after 48 h, the relative cell viability dropped marginally to 86%.
In Vivo Cucurbit[8]uril shows a very low toxicity of the in vivo intravenous injection, as well as oral administration studies on mice[2].
