- Synthesis of multivalent carbohydrate mimetics with aminopolyol end groups and their evaluation as L-selectin inhibitors
-
In this article a series of divalent and trivalent carbohydrate mimetics on the basis of an enantiopure aminopyran and of serinol is described. These aminopolyols are connected by amide bonds to carboxylic acid derived spacer units either by Schotten-Baumann acylation or by coupling employing HATU as reagent. The O-sulfation employing the SO3·DMF complex was optimized. It was crucial to follow this process by 700 MHz 1H NMR spectroscopy to ensure full conversion and to use a refined neutralization and purification protocol. Many of the compounds could not be tested as L-selectin inhibitor by SPR due to their insolubility in water, nevertheless, a divalent and a trivalent amide showed surprisingly good activities with IC50 values in the low micromolar range.

- POLYNUCLEOTIDE CONSTRUCTS HAVING DISULFIDE GROUPS
-
The invention features polynucleotide constructs containing one or more components (i) containing a disulfide linkage, where each of the one or more components is attached to an internudeotide bridging group or a terminal group of the polynucleotide construct, and each of the one or more components (i) contains one or more bulky groups proximal to the disulfide group. The invention also features polynucleotide constructs containing one or more components (i) containing a disulfide linkage, where each of the one or more components (i) is attached to an internudeotide bridging group or a terminal group of the polynucleotide construct, and each of the one or more components (i) contains at least 4 atoms in a chain between the disulfide linkage and the phosphorus atom of the internudeotide bridging group or the terminal group; and where the chain does not contain a phosphate, an amide, an ester, or an alkenylene. The invention also features methods of delivering a polynucleotide to a cell using the polynucleotide constructs of the invention.

- POLYNUCLEOTIDE CONSTRUCTS HAVING BIOREVERSIBLE AND NON-BIOREVERSIBLE GROUPS
-
The invention features a hybridized polynucleotide construct containing a passenger strand, a guide strand loadable into a RISC complex, and (i) a 3'-terminal or an internucleotide non-bioreversible group in the guide strand; or (ii) a 5'-terminal, a 3'-terminal, or an internucleotide non-bioreversible group in the passenger strand, and a 5'-terminal, a 3'-terminal, or an internucleotide disulfide bioreversible group in the guide strand or the passenger strand. The invention also features methods of delivering a polynucleotide to a cell using the hybridized polynucleotide construct. The invention further features methods of reducing the expression of a polypeptide in a cell using the hybridized polynucleotide construct.

- SELECTIVE INHIBITORS FOR CYCLIN-DEPENDENT KINASES
-
This invention provides a class of compounds which are useful for specifically inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinases. This class of compounds finds use in treating diseases resulting from inappropriate activity of cyclin-dependent kinases, including cancer, viral infections (e.g., HIV) neurodegenerative disorders (e.g. Alzheimer's disease), and cardiovascular disorders (e.g. atherosclerosis). Moreover, certain members of this class are particularly useful for inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinase 7 and are especially useful for the treatment of breast cancer.
