                                摘要:
                                A series of synthetic receptors with strong selectivity for the barbiturate family of drugs has been prepared.  The receptor design is based on two 2,6-diaminopyridine groups linked through an isophthalic acid spacer.  X-ray crystallographic, H-1 NMR spectroscopic, and substrate binding studies confirm that six hydrogen bonds are formed between the receptor and its substrate.  The strongest binding (K(a) almost-equal-to 10(5) M-1) is seen to those substrates containing the complementary barbituric acid core.  Systematic deletion of hydrogen-bonding sites from the receptor and substrate allows an assessment of the contribution of individual binding sites to complexation.
