Cover Story: Calixarenes were first discovered in the 19th century by von Baeyer. Nearly a century later, in the 1970s and the 1980s, Gutsche confirmed the existence of cyclic oligomers of various sizes and used the denomination “calixarene” for the first time. This name was chosen for the similarity between this shape and a Calyx Krater (i.e., a Greek vase). For several years, calixarenes have demonstrated remarkable activities in various biological fields—in particular, for the research and development of antimicrobial compounds. Indeed, the wide range of possibilities for molecular design offered by the calixarenic platform place it in a good position for the development of new drugs with original modes of action. The objective of this review is to present the state of the art in research work on the antibacterial properties of discrete calixarenes. View this paper
