Abstract

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and its receptor PDGFR are required for tumor growth and angiogenesis, so disruption of the PDGF-PDGFR interaction should lead to starvation of tumors and reduction of tumor growth. Potent PDGF antagonists have been discovered through the synthesis of a series of calix[4]arene-based compounds that are designed to bind to the three-loop region of PDGF. The effect of lower-rim alkylation, linker and number of interacting head groups on the calix[4]arene scaffold on PDGF affinity and cellular activity has been investigated.
