Described herein are monomers capable of forming a biologically useful multimer when in contact with one, two, three or more other monomers in an aqueous media. In one aspect, such monomers may be capable of binding to another monomer in an aqueous media (e.g. in vivo) to form a multimer, (e.g. a dimer). Contemplated monomers may include a ligand moiety, a linker element, and a connector element that joins the ligand moiety and the linker element. In an aqueous media, such contemplated monomers may join together via each linker element and may thus be capable of modulating one or more biomolecules substantially simultaneously, e.g., modulate two or more binding domains on a protein or on different proteins.

Methods of treating inflammation conditions in a subject is provided, including administering to the subject an effective amount of one or more caffeic acid derivatives to effectively alter the polarization of macrophages from M1 to M2, i.e., from a pro-inflammatory phenotype to a reparative phenotype activation of macrophages. In some embodiments, the caffeic acid derivative is administered to treat myocardial infarction, attenuate the chemotaxis and phagocytosis of macrophages, increase the viability of cardiomyocytes in an ischemia-mimicking environment, and/or increase the activities of antioxidant enzymes in the tissues. In some embodiments, the caffeic acid derivatives have an improved half-life in plasma or pathophysiological conditions. A facile and cost-effective method of making these caffeic acid derivatives is also provided.
Derivatives of caffeic acid, a natural antioxidant, as the basis for the discovery of novel nonpeptidic neurotrophic agents
neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, a series of caffeicacid amide analogues with variable alkyl chain lengths, including ACAF3 (C3), ACAF4 (C4), ACAF6 (C6), ACAF8 (C8) and ACAF12 (C12) were synthesized and their neurotrophic activity was examined by different methods in PC12 neuronal cells. We found that all caffeicacid amide derivatives significantly increased survival in PC12 neuronal cells
