Abstract
An amphiphilic calix[4]arene bearing branched 3,4,5-tris(2-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)benzamide groups at the upper rim was synthesized and could increase the solubility of naproxen and ibuprofen in water through hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking interactions. The interactions between amphiphilic calix[4]arene and carboxylic acids such as naproxen and ibuprofen could reverse the direction of the branched substituents and change the shape and size of calixarene micelles from solid to hollow or linear ones.
