A set of new substituted dienes were synthesized from betulinic acid by its oxidation to 30-oxobetulinic acid followed by the Wittig reaction. Cytotoxicity of all compounds was tested in vitro in eight cancer cell lines and two noncancer fibroblasts. Almost all dienes were more cytotoxic than betulinic acid. Compounds 4.22, 4.30, 4.33, 4.39 had IC50 below 5 μmol/L; 4.22 and 4.39 were selected for studies of the mechanism of action. Cell cycle analysis revealed an increase in the number of apoptotic cells at 5 × IC50 concentration, where activation of irreversible changes leading to cell death can be expected. Both 4.22 and 4.39 led to the accumulation of cells in the G0/G1 phase with partial inhibition of DNA/RNA synthesis at 1 × IC50 and almost complete inhibition at 5 × IC50. Interestingly, compound 4.39 at 5 × IC50 caused the accumulation of cells in the S phase. Higher concentrations of tested drugs probably inhibit more off-targets than lower concentrations. Mechanisms disrupting cellular metabolism can induce the accumulation of cells in the S phase. Both compounds 4.22 and 4.39 trigger selective apoptosis in cancer cells via intrinsic pathway, which we have demonstrated by changes in the expression of the crucial apoptosis-related protein. Pharmacological parameters of derivative 4.22 were superior to 4.39, therefore 4.22 was the finally selected candidate for the development of anticancer drug.

We report the synthesis and characterization of a non-liquid crystalline material, 2-phenylchrysene (Ph-CHR), and a liquid crystalline material, 2-(4-dodecyl phenyl)chrysene (C12-Ph-CHR), and discuss their organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) device perfor
Synthesis of precursors for large-diameter hemispherical buckybowls and precursors for short carbon nanotubes

We report herein the synthesis of six precursor molecules for the rational synthesis of isomerically pure armchair, zigzag, or chiral single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons possess the required carbon connectivity for the generation of extended hemispherical buckybowls with predefined geometry through intramolecular cyclodehydrogenation. The precursors for the short carbon nanotubes and the large-diameter hemispherical buckybowls have potential for the rational initiation of single-chirality SWCNT growth on metal surfaces. The options for the construction of precursors for various SWCNT chiralities based on the suggested synthesis strategy are presented.
