The invention provides methods for cyclizing poly-yne compounds under mild conditions to provide cyclic compounds.

Cyclization methods

The invention provides silicate prodrugs comprising a therapeutic agent linked to one or more groups of formula (I): &#x2014;Si(OR)(I); wherein each R independently has any of the values defined herein, as well as nanoparticles comprising such compounds.

Taxane silicate prodrugs and nanoparticles

A class of topomimetic calixarene-based peptide mimetics is described. Calixarene-based peptide mimetics have various biological activities such as, for example, bactericidal activity, antiangiogenic activity, and/or antitumor activity. Methods of use and methods of designing calixarene-based peptide mimetics are described.
