Nakagawa, Takeshi published the artcilePiezochromic luminescence of dicoronylene: Key for revealing hidden Raman modes at high pressure, HPLC of Formula: 191-07-1, the publication is Carbon (2022), 563-569, database is CAplus.

Mol. crystals of dicoronylene (C₄₈H₂₀), a member of very large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), exhibits strong red fluorescence under ambient conditions. This strong fluorescence induced by visible light excitation obscures entire Raman spectrum of dicoronylene. The authors employed in-situ high-pressure luminescence spectroscopy to observe a reversible piezochromic effect, in which the fluorescence exhibits a drastic red shift with a rapid quenching of intensity. At >4 GPa, under red shifted and reduced fluorescence, hidden Raman modes are observed with 532 nm green laser at ¡Ü20 GPa. The application of pressure can finely tune the fluorescence of dicoronylene, allowing the observation of the Raman spectrum with an appropriate laser wavelength and dicoronylene has high chem. stability among PAH mols. with multiple aromatic rings.

Hofmann, Andreas published the artcileCyclometalated Analogues of Platinum Terpyridine Complexes: Kinetic Study of the Strong ¦Ò-Donor Cis and Trans Effects of Carbon in the Presence of a ¦Ð-Acceptor Ligand Backbone, Recommanded Product: 1,1-Dimethylthiourea, the publication is Inorganic Chemistry (2003), 42(20), 6528-6538, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

The substitution kinetics of the complexes [Pt(N-N-C)Cl] (N-N-CH = 6-phenyl-2,2′-bipyridine), [Pt(N-C-N)Cl] (N-CH-N = 1,3-di(2-pyridyl)benzene), and [Pt(N-N-N)Cl]Cl (N-N-N = 2,2′:6′,2”-terpyridine) with the nucleophiles Br^–, I^–, and, for the first two complexes, also thiourea, N,N-dimethylthiourea, and N,N,N’,N’-tetramethylthiourea, have been studied in methanol as solvent. In case of the thioureas, the activation parameters ¦¤H^?, ¦¤S^?, and ¦¤V^? were also determined from the temperature and pressure dependence of the reactions. Two crystal structures of [Pt(N-N-C)Cl] were determined (yellow and red polymorphs); the intense red color of the latter polymorph results from Pt-Pt interactions (Pt-Pt distance = 3.366 ?). The data enable an anal. of the cis and trans effects and the influence of the strong ¦Ò-donor carbon in the presence of an electron withdrawing ¦Ð-acceptor ligand backbone. The results indicate that the intrinsic reactivity is enhanced greatly by the labilizing effect of the trans carbon donor, but the nucleophilic discrimination is dramatically reduced due to the decrease in electrophilicity on the metal center. However, although the electron withdrawing ¦Ð-acceptor effect is partly counteracted by the ¦Ò-donor effect, the complex still benefits from a higher nucleophilic discrimination than in the comparable Pt(II) trans carbon donor complexes, where no or fewer ¦Ð-acceptors are present. In the case of the cis carbon donor complex, the intrinsic reactivity remains unchanged, but the nucleophilic discrimination is reduced and leads to a reduced reactivity of the [Pt(N-N-C)Cl] complex in comparison to [Pt(N-N-N)Cl]Cl. On the basis of these results, a more detailed treatment of the nature of the cis effect is offered.

Belmokaddem, Fatima-Zohra published the artcileNovel nucleophilic/basic and acidic organocatalysts for reaction between poorly reactive diisocyanate and diols, Name: Dimesitylphosphine oxide, the publication is Designed Monomers and Polymers (2016), 19(4), 347-360, database is CAplus.

Original basic or acidic organic compounds derived from guanidine or Ph phosphonic acid were specifically designed and tested as new catalysts for the bulk synthesis of polyurethane prepolymers from a precursor system with particularly low reactivity (secondary alc. + aliphatic isocyanate at low temperature). Both families showed interesting catalytic activities at 60-80¡ã, but must nevertheless be used in much higher amounts (1 mol%, i.e. between 0.15 and 0.50 wt%) than traditional metal-based catalysts. The efficiency of guanidine derivatives seems to be related to their nucleophilicity, whereas that of phosphonic acid derivatives depends on their acidity. However, the solubility of the considered species in the reactive medium also plays a major role. The water/alc. selectivity of the catalysts, especially at room temperature, was then examined as an addnl. criterion. Guanidines are not selective and favor the reaction of isocyanate groups with water as much as that with alcs. Ph phosphonic acid derivatives are more selective, and particularly pentafluorophenyl phosphonic acid displays a remarkable catalytic activity together with an acceptable selectivity and could represent an interesting and safer alternative to toxic tin and mercury derivatives for many industrial polyurethanes.

Tetramerization of (E)-2,4-dimethoxycinnamic acid ¦Ø-undecenyl ester with ethereal BF₃ gave three stereoisomers 1a, 1b, and 1c, which were assigned as the chair, cone, and 1,2-alternate conformations, resp. The chair conformation of 1a was confirmed by X-ray diffraction anal., which also showed a peculiar self-assembly behavior in the crystal lattice, forming intercalated hydrophilic and hydrophobic layers (6-7 ? thickness) as a consequence of strong CH-¦Ð interactions. Undecenyl resorc[4]arene 1a, which featured the simplest pattern of substituents, was submitted to olefin metathesis using the second-generation Grubbs complex as the catalyst. Depending on the reaction conditions, different products were isolated: a bicyclic alkene 2a (46%), a linear dimer 3a (5%), and a cross-linked homopolymer P1a (44%).

Santos, Joao Cesar N. published the artcileThimerosal changes protein conformation and increase the rate of fibrillation in physiological conditions: Spectroscopic studies using bovine serum albumin (BSA), SDS of cas: 119-80-2, the publication is International Journal of Biological Macromolecules (2018), 1032-1040, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

The interaction between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and thimerosal (TM), an organomercury compound widely employed as a preservative in vaccines, was investigated simulating physiol. conditions and using different spectroscopic techniques. The results, employing mol. fluorescence showed the interaction occurs by static quenching through electrostatic forces (¦ÄH < 0 and ¦ÄS > 0), spontaneously (¦ÄG = -4.40 kJ mol^-1) and with a binding constant of 3.24 ¡Á 10³ M^-1. Three-dimensional fluorescence studies indicated that TM causes structural changes in the polypeptide chain of the BSA, confirmed by CD that showed an increase in a-helix (from 43.9 to 47.8%) content after interaction process. Through synchronized fluorescence and employing bilirubin as a protein site marker, it was confirmed the preferential interaction of TM in the subdomain IB of BSA. The interaction mechanism proposed in this work is based on the reaction of TM with BSA through of free Cys34 residue, forming the adduct BSA-HgEt with the thiosalicylic acid release, which possibly interacts electrostatically with pos. side chain amino acids of the modified protein. Finally, it was proven that both TM and EtHgCl accelerate the protein fibrillation kinetics in 42 and 122%, resp., indicating the toxicity of these compounds in biol. systems.

dos Santos, Beatriz F. published the artcileAnchored Pd(0) Nanoparticles on Synthetic Talc for the Synthesis of Biaryls and a Precursor of Angiotensin II Inhibitors, Product Details of C14H14, the publication is Synthesis (2021), 53(5), 933-942, database is CAplus.

The palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction is one of the most important and efficient reactions to prepare a variety of organic compounds, including biaryls. Despite the overwhelming number of reports related to this topic, some methodol. difficulties persist in terms of catalyst handling, recovery, and reuse, as well as the reaction media. This work reports the rational design of new, efficient, cost-effective, and reusable palladium catalysts supported on synthetic talc for the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. From the results, key points were identified: both designed catalysts accelerated the reaction in EtOH and an open-flask setup, affording moderate to excellent yields within a short time (e.g., 30 min) even for deactivated aryl halides; the protocol can be applied to a great number of both cross-coupling partners, showing an excellent functional group tolerance; the catalysts can be recovered and reused without significant loss of activity. This protocol was used for the synthesis of a precursor of angiotensin II inhibitors such as valsartan, losartan, irbesartan, and telmisartan.

Raynal, Noel J.-M. published the artcileRepositioning FDA-Approved Drugs in Combination with Epigenetic Drugs to Reprogram Colon Cancer Epigenome, Application In Synthesis of 38260-01-4, the publication is Molecular Cancer Therapeutics (2017), 16(2), 397-407, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

Epigenetic drugs, such as DNA methylation inhibitors (DNMTi) or histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi), are approved in monotherapy for cancer treatment. These drugs reprogram gene expression profiles, reactivate tumor suppressor genes (TSG) producing cancer cell differentiation and apoptosis. Epigenetic drugs have been shown to synergize with other epigenetic drugs or various anticancer drugs. To discover new mol. entities that enhance epigenetic therapy, we performed a high-throughput screening using FDA-approved libraries in combination with DNMTi or HDACi. As a screening model, we used YB5 system, a human colon cancer cell line, which contains an epigenetically silenced CMV-GFP locus, mimicking TSG silencing in cancer. CMV-GFP reactivation is triggered by DNMTi or HDACi and responds synergistically to DNMTi/HDACi combination, which phenocopies TSG reactivation upon epigenetic therapy. GFP fluorescence was used as a quant. readout for epigenetic activity. We discovered that 45 FDA-approved drugs (4% of all drugs tested) in our FDA-approved libraries enhanced DNMTi and HDACi activity, mainly belonging to anticancer and antiarrhythmic drug classes. Transcriptome anal. revealed that combination of decitabine (DNMTi) with the antiarrhythmic proscillaridin A produced profound gene expression reprogramming, which was associated with downregulation of 153 epigenetic regulators, including two known oncogenes in colon cancer (SYMD3 and KDM8). Also, we identified about 85 FDA-approved drugs that antagonized DNMTi and HDACi activity through cytotoxic mechanisms, suggesting detrimental drug interactions for patients undergoing epigenetic therapy. Overall, our drug screening identified new combinations of epigenetic and FDA-approved drugs, which can be rapidly implemented into clin. trials. Mol Cancer Ther; 16(2); 397-407. ?2016 AACR.

Vagner, Adrienn published the artcileA rigidified AAZTA-like ligand as efficient chelator for ⁶⁸Ga radiopharmaceuticals, Quality Control of 140-28-3, the publication is ChemistrySelect (2016), 1(2), 163-171, database is CAplus.

The new cyclohexane-fused CyAAZTA ligand was synthesized to increase the structural rigidity of the heptadentate chelator AAZTA with the aim of improving the overall stability of its Ga^III complex. The stability constant of Ga(CyAAZTA)^–, determined both by pH-potentiometry (logK_GaL=21.39) and by ⁷¹Ga NMR (logK_GaL=21.92), was found similar to that of GaAAZTA (logK_GaL=22.18). The kinetic inertness of Ga(CyAAZTA)^– was investigated by following its transmetallation and ligand exchange reactions with Cu²⁺ and human serum transferrin, resp. The formation of a hydroxido-complex near pH 7 decreases the half-life (t_1/2) of the dissociation reactions for Ga(CyAAZTA)^– compared to Ga(AAZTA)^– (8.5 h vs 21 h, pH 7.4). However, at pH < 7 the t_1/2 of Ga(CyAAZTA)^– is much longer (234 h at pH 6). Finally, CyAAZTA was successfully radiolabeled with ⁶⁸Ga in acetate buffer at pH 3.8, in 15 min at room temperature at [CyAAZTA]=10 ¦ÌM, with a labeling yield higher than 80 %. A 1 ¦ÌM solution of CyAAZTA was successfully labeled (L.Y.: 97.4 %) in 5 min at 90 ¡ãC. Stability tests in human serum and in the presence of 50 mM DTPA showed no significant decomposition of ⁶⁸GaCyAAZTA over 90 min.

Eremina, Olga E. published the artcileExpanding the multiplexing capabilities of Raman imaging to reveal highly specific molecular expression and enable spatial profiling, SDS of cas: 13822-56-5, the publication is ACS Nano (2022), 16(7), 10341-10353, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

Profiling the heterogeneous landscape of cell types and biomols. is rapidly being adopted to address current imperative research questions. Precision medicine seeks advancements in mol. spatial profiling techniques with highly multiplexed imaging capabilities and subcellular resolution, which remains an extremely complex task. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) imaging offers promise through the utilization of nanoparticle-based contrast agents that exhibit narrow spectral features and mol. specificity. The current renaissance of gold nanoparticle technol. makes Raman scattering intensities competitive with traditional fluorescence methods while offering the added benefit of unsurpassed multiplexing capabilities. Here, we present an expanded library of individually distinct SERS nanoparticles to arm researchers and clinicians. Our nanoparticles consist of a 6?0 nm gold core, a Raman reporter mol., and a final inert silica coating. Using d. functional theory, we have selected Raman reporters that meet the key criterion of high spectral uniqueness to facilitate unmixing of up to 26 components in a single imaging pixel in vitro and in vivo. We also demonstrated the utility of our SERS nanoparticles for targeting cultured cells and profiling cancerous human tissue sections for highly multiplexed optical imaging. This study showcases the far-reaching capabilities of SERS-based Raman imaging in mol. profiling to improve personalized medicine and overcome the major challenges of functional and structural diversity in proteomic imaging.

Defries, Danielle published the artcilePatterns of alpha-linolenic acid incorporation into phospholipids in H4IIE cells, Application of Docosahexaenoic Acid, the publication is Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry (2022), 109014, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

Alpha linolenic acid (ALA) is an 18-carbon essential fatty acid found in plant-based foods and oils. While much attention has been placed on conversion of ALA to long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, alternative routes of ALA metabolism exist and may lead to formation of other bioactive metabolites of ALA. The current study employed a non-targeted metabolomics approach to profile ALA metabolites that are significantly upregulated by ALA treatment. H4IIE hepatoma cells (n=3 samples per time point) were treated with 60¦ÌM ALA or vehicle for 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 h. Samples were then extracted with methanol and analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatog./quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Author observed selective changes in ALA incorporation into phospholipid classes and subclasses over the 12 h following ALA treatment. While levels of specific mol. species of ALA-containing phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, and lysophospholipids were elevated with ALA treatment, others were not affected. Of the phospholipids that were increased, some (e.g., PC[18:3/18:1], PC[18:3/18:4], PE[18:3/18:2], PE[18:3/18:3]) were elevated almost immediately after exposure to ALA, while others (e.g., PE[18:1/18:3] PA[18:3/22:6], and PA[18:3/18:2]) were not elevated until several hours after ALA treatment. Overall, these results suggest that ALA incorporation into phospholipids is selective and support a metabolic hierarchy for ALA incorporation into specific phospholipids. Given the functionality of phospholipids based on their fatty acid composition, future studies will need to investigate the implications of ALA incorporation into specific phospholipids on cell function.
