Amphiphilic calix[4]resorcinarenes are a class of macrocyclic compounds with broad potential utility including nanomedicine. Here the synthesis of new carboxybetaine and carboxybetaine ester calix[4]resorcinarene bearing 4-(dodecyloxy)phenyl groups on the lower rim is presented. The compounds were characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, 2D NMR, IR, ESI and elemental analysis. The critical association concentration values are 1.00 × 10−5 and 1.18 × 10−5 mol·L−1 for carboxybetain and ester, respectively. The hemolytic activity of the macrocycles and their cytotoxicity against normal (WI-38, Chang liver) and tumor cells (M-HeLa) are also estimated.
