- Analysis of Intact Cholesteryl Esters of Furan Fatty Acids in Cod Liver
-
Furan fatty acids (F-acids) are a class of natural antioxidants with a furan moiety in the acyl chain. These minor fatty acids have been reported to occur with high proportions in the cholesteryl ester fraction of fish livers. Here we present a method for the direct analysis of intact cholesteryl esters with F-acids and other fatty acids in cod liver lipids. For this purpose, the cholesteryl ester fraction was isolated by solid phase extraction (SPE) and subsequently analyzed by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC/MS) using a cool-on-column inlet. Pentadecanoic acid esterified with cholesterol was used as an internal standard. GC/MS spectra of F-acid cholesteryl esters featured the molecular ion along with characteristic fragment ions for both the cholesterol and the F-acid moiety. All investigated cod liver samples (n = 8) showed cholesteryl esters of F-acids and, to a lower degree, of conventional fatty acids. By means of GC/MS-SIM up to ten F-acid cholesteryl esters could be determined in the samples. The concentrations of cholesteryl esters with conventional fatty acids amounted to 78-140 mg/100 g lipids (mean 97 mg/100 g lipids), while F-acid cholesteryl esters were present at 47-270 mg/100 g lipids (mean 130 mg/100 g lipids).

- Amphiphilic hyperbranched copolymers bearing a hyperbranched core and dendritic shell: Synthesis, characterization and guest encapsulation performance
-
The 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propionic acid (BHP)-based generation 1 dendron with two palmitate tails (D1-C16) and the generation 2 dendron with four palmitate tails (D2-C16) were synthesized. The coupling of D1-C16 or D2-C16 with hyperbranched polyethylenimine (PEI) through the amidation reaction resulted in amphiphilic hyperbranched copolymers bearing a hyperbranched PEI core and a dendritic D1-C16 shell or dendritic D2-C16 shell. The structure of the obtained copolymers was verified through Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) characterization. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurement demonstrated that the existence of the branching units in the shell pronouncedly reduced the crystallinity of the hyperbranched copolymers, and the copolymers with less branched shells had a higher melting temperature and melting enthalpy. These novel amphiphilic hyperbranched copolymers could be used as nanocarriers to efficiently accommodate the hydrophilic guests, including Methyl Orange (MO), Congo Red (CR) and Direct Blue 15 (DB), into the hydrophilic amidated PEI core. Each nanocarrier with a branched shell could accommodate a much higher number of guests than the corresponding nanocarriers with linear shells, which indicated that the dendritic structure of the shell played a key role in significantly enhancing the encapsulation capacity of the nanocarriers. As far as the weight ratio of the encapsulated guests to the nanocarriers was concerned, the nanocarriers with branched shells could be modulated to have a similar encapsulation capacity for the small MO with a mono-sulfonate group, but a much superior encapsulation capacity for the large CR and DB guests with multi-sulfonate groups to the nanocarriers with linear shells.

- Antitumor liposomes bearing a prodrug of combretastatin A-4 and a tetrasaccharide ligand of selectins
-
Therapeutic liposomes with an average diameter of 100 nm based on natural phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositol) containing palmitoyl or oleoyl derivatives of the antimitotic agent combretastatin A-4 were constructed. The cytotoxicity of liposomes with the oleoyl derivative in the human breast cancer cell culture turned out to be only three times lower than that of combretastatin A-4, thus indicating the probability of facile intracellular hydrolysis of the prodrug. To achieve selective drug delivery to the tumor tissue in vivo, the diglyceride conjugate of the tetrasaccharide ligand of selectins, viz., Sialyl-Lewis X (SiaLeX, 2 mol.%) was incorporated into the liposomes. The SiaLeX-equipped liposomes loaded with the lipophilic prodrug showed a reliable inhibition of tumor growth on the model of spontaneous breast cancer in mice.

- Association of adhesive spheres formed by hydrophobically end-capped PEO. 1. Influence of the presence of single end-capped PEO
-
Mixtures of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) end-capped on one or both ends with hexadecyl, but with the same hydrophilic-lypophilic balance, were studied using static and dynamic light scattering and dynamic mechanical measurements. In aqueous solution the mixtures form polymeric micelles with aggregation numbers that are independent of the fraction of difunctionalized PEO. Difunctionalized PEO bridges between two micelles, which leads to reversible association of the micelles. The phase behavior and the association of the micelles can be described by modeling the micelles as adhesive spheres with an adhesion parameter that depends on the fraction of difunctionalized PEO and the temperature. Above a given concentration the micelles percolate, leading to a strong increase of the viscosity and the high-frequency shear modulus. The viscosity has an Arrhenius temperature dependence with an activation energy close to that of the relaxation time that characterizes the decay of the shear modulus. At even higher concentrations an abrupt transition is observed that is characterized by the appearance of a second relaxation process with a very long relaxation time. The transition can be induced by small increases of the temperature or the concentration. The slow relaxation is attributed to restructuring of a solution of close packed micelles (e.g., hopping of micelles) while the fast relaxation, which is still visible at high concentrations, is attributed to the breakup of elastic bridges by the escape of end groups from the micelles.

- Odd-even effect in a thiazole based organogelator: Understanding the interplay of non-covalent interactions on property and applications
-
New series of thiazole based amides, namely, 1e [N-(thiazol-2-yl)pentadecamide] to 1h [N-(thiazol-2-yl)stearamide], 2e [N-(4-methylthiazol-yl)pentadecamide] to 2h [N-(4-methylthiazol-yl)stearamide], 3e [N-(5-methylthiazol-yl)pentadecamide] to 3h [N-(5-methylthiazol-yl)stearamide] were synthesized, characterized and investigated for their gelation properties. Interestingly, out of three series of thiazole amides synthesized, two (1e-1h and 3e-3h) had displayed odd-even effect on gelation property with an increase in the methylene functional group of alkyl chain attached with thiazole moiety. The gelation-non-gelation of solvents was found to be more significant for the series of compounds 1e-1h, whereas a subtle effect was observed in the series of compounds 3e-3h. A single crystal study of non-gelator (2d) highlighted the crucial role of the methyl group and its position on the thiazole moiety in bringing about a change in supramolecular synthon from a robust cyclic N-H...N interaction to the combination of N-H...N and N-H...O interactions. Self-assembly of four molecules of 2d led to the formation of a zero-dimensional (0-D) hydrogen bonded network instead of a one-dimensional hydrogen bonded network observed in gelling compounds mediated by (methyl)C-H...N, C-H...O and van der Waals interaction. Various gelling agents (3e-3h) were used for the synthesis of nearly spherical silver and ZnO nanoparticles using a sol-gel method, through encapsulation and stabilization of nanoparticles in the gel network. Interestingly, the alkyl chain lengths of thiazole amides were found to affect the size of synthesized Ag and ZnO nanoparticles.

- Sonication-Induced Halogenative Decarboxylation of Thiohydroxamic Esters
-
The sonication of primary, secondary, and tertiary thiohydroxamic esters in CCl4 has led to their synthetic transformation to alkyl chlorides, bromides, or iodides.The high yields were comparable to the previous thermal-or photoinduced version of this same reaction.This radical reaction calls attention to the utility of ultrasound in production of trichloromethyl radical, which was concluded to initiate decomposition of the thiohydroxamic esters.

- Tryptamine-derived alkaloids from Annonaceae exerting neurotrophin-like properties on primary dopaminergic neurons
-
N-fatty acyl tryptamines constitute a scarce group of natural compounds mainly encountered in Annonaceous plants. No biological activity was reported so far for these rare molecules. This study investigated the neurotrophic properties of these natural tryptaminic derivatives on dopaminergic (DA) neurons in primary mesencephalic cultures. A structure-activity relationships study led us to precise the role of a nitrogen atom into the aliphatic chain conferring to the compounds a combined neuroprotective and neuritogenic activity in the nanomolar range. The potent antioxidant activity of these natural products seems to be involved in part of their mechanism of action. This study provides the first description of natural neurotrophin mimetics present in Annonaceae extracts, and led to the biological characterization of compounds, which present a potential interest in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease.

- Synthesis and characterization of allyl fatty acid derivatives as reactive coalescing agents for latexes
-
This work evaluated the use of allyl fatty acid esters derived from vegetable oil (palmitic acid, soybean and sunflower oils) as reactive coalescing agents in a waterborne latex system. Allyl fatty acid derivatives (AFAD) from vegetable oils were synthesized by two different processes. The synthesis was monitored by IR-spectroscopy and the final product characterized by FT-IR, GC-MS, 1H and 13C NMR. The presence of conjugated double bonds in the aliphatic chain was confirmed, which is a determinant for the proposed autoxidative latexes drying mechanism. Each of the AFAD were subsequently added to a standard acrylic emulsion, in order to study its potential as reactive coalescing agent. The minimum film-forming temperature (MFT), glass transition temperature (Tg), drying time and rubbing resistance to solvents were evaluated. The results showed that, when added to water-borne acrylic resins, an AFAD acts as a non-volatile plasticizer capable of autoxidative crosslinking with itself. AOCS 2012.

- A General Approach to Intermolecular Olefin Hydroacylation through Light-Induced HAT Initiation: An Efficient Synthesis of Long-Chain Aliphatic Ketones and Functionalized Fatty Acids
-
Herein, an operationally simple, environmentally benign and effective method for intermolecular radical hydroacylation of unactivated substrates by employing photo-induced hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) initiation is described. The use of commercially available and inexpensive photoinitiators (Ph2CO and NHPI) makes the process attractive. The olefin hydroacylation protocol applies to a wide array of substrates bearing numerous functional groups and many complex structural units. The reaction proves to be scalable (up to 5 g). Different functionalized fatty acids, petrochemicals and naturally occurring alkanes can be synthesized with this protocol. A radical chain mechanism is implicated in the process.

- A METHOD FOR MODIFICATION OF PEPTIDES IMMOBILIZED ON A SOLID SUPPORT BY TRACELESS REDUCTIVELY CLEAVABLE LINKER MOLECULES
-
The present invention relates to a method for modifying and purifying peptides comprising an immobilizing step, a modification step and a releasing step. In the immobilizing step, a crude linker-tagged peptide L-P is coupled to a solid support yielding an immobilized linker-tagged peptide S-L-P. Subsequently, the immobilized linker-tagged peptide S-L-P is modified with one or more organic molecules yielding an immobilized linker-tagged peptide S-L-mP. Finally, the modified peptide is released via a reduced intermediate RI. The linker molecule is a compound of formula 1, X-Tbb-Vaa-U-Y-Z (1), which can be coupled to a purification resin via the moiety X and to a peptide via the moiety Y under the release of the leaving group Z. T is an optional spacer moiety and V is an optional electron withdrawing moiety. U is an aryl or 5- or 6-membered heteroaryl moiety bound to at least one electron withdrawing moiety V, W or E. The linker is stable under acidic conditions and releases the peptide upon addition of a reducing agent.

- Synthesis and self-assembly of Salen type Schiff based on o-phenylenediamine organogels in response to Zn2+
-
Two Salen type Schiff based on o-phenylenediamine were synthesized. The prepared organogelators demonstrated excellent gel properties in some selected solvents, such as n-pentanol, chloroform, and 1,2-dichloroethane. The results for thermal stability showed that under concentrations increasing of the gel molecules and then the gel-to-sol transition temperature value is increased. Through various techniques found that the hydrogen bonding between molecules, the van der Waals force, and the π-π stacking provide multiple driving forces for gel self-assembly. The morphology of the xerogel was investigated by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The metal ions responsiveness experiment is completed by adding the metal ions solution dropwise to the gel surface and confirmed by the UV spectrum.

- A new class of pure estrogen alpha receptor antagonists; design, synthesis and in-vitro screening
-
Background: In view of the estrogenic receptor inhibitory properties of coumarin nucleus, long chain nature of fatty acid and anti-breast cancer activity of fatty acids, it was proposed to attach long chain fatty acids at 3rd,4th and 7th position of coumarin nucleus and evaluate for their anti-breast cancer activity through suitable in-vitro methods. Methods: The present study focuses a library of fatty acid coumarin conjugates as ligands to the ligand-binding domain of the human estrogen receptor α (PDB ID 2IOG) and their binding affinities using GLIDE module of Schrodinger after ascertaining their drug-likeness with QIKPROP. The compounds LNAC 8, SAC 1 and OAC 5 are the best hits based on their docking scores as well as the Prime MM-GBSA free energy of binding. Based on the in-silico results and synthetic feasibility the compounds SAC 1 PAC 1 and OAC 1 are synthesized, characterized and investigated for their time interval growth inhibitory effect on MCF-7 which is an ER positive breast cancer cell lines. Results: SAC 1, showed better in vitro growth inhibitory effect in sub micromolar range as compared to Tamoxifen, a standard estrogen receptor modulator. Conclusion: Conclusively, in silico molecular docking studies have been very useful in predicting the pharmacokinetic profiles and the binding affinities of new hits before a detailed preclinical and clinical evaluation.

-
A series of novel ethyl 1-ethyl-6-fluoro-7-(fatty amido)-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylate derivatives were prepared through multistep synthesis. The key step in the synthesis was to obtain the C-7 fatty amide derivative. The azide was selectively formed at C-7 position using sodium azide at 60 °C. Subsequently, the azide was reduced under mild conditions using zinc and ammonium chloride to form the corresponding amine. The synthesized derivatives were further subjected to biological evaluation studies like cytotoxicity against a panel of cancer cell lines such as DU145, A549, SKOV3, MCF7 and normal lung cells, IMR-90 as well as with antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. It was observed that the carboxylated quinolone derivatives with hexanoic (8a), octanoic (8b), lauric (8d) and myristic (8e) moieties exhibited promising cytotoxicity against all the tested cancer cell lines. The results also suggested that hexanoic acid-based fatty amide carboxylated quinolone derivative (8a) exhibited promising activity against both bacterial and fungal strains and significant antibacterial activity was observed against Staphylococcus aureus MTCC 96 (MIC value of 3.9 μg/mL). The compound 8a also showed excellent anti-biofilm activity against Staphylococcus aureus MTCC 96 and Bacillus subtilis MTCC 121 with MIC values of 2.1 and 4.6 μg/mL, respectively.

- Investigation of fatty acid conjugates of 3,5-bisarylmethylene-4-piperidone derivatives as antitumor agents and human topoisomerase-IIα inhibitors
-
A series of five 3,5-bisarylidene-4-piperidones designed as analogs of curcumin and their twenty five fatty acid conjugates were synthesized as candidate anticancer agents. The fatty acid conjugates were designed for efficient delivery of these compounds at the targeted cancer sites. The cytostatic potential of these compounds was evaluated against three representative cancer cell lines namely murine leukemic L1210 cells, and human T-lymphocyte CEM cells and cervical HeLa cells. Most compounds were found to exhibit significant anti-cancer activity in vitro. QSAR studies indicated electrophilicity of these compounds towards cellular nucleophiles may have a key role to play in their cytostatic activity. Representative compounds were also tested for topoisomerase IIα inhibitory potential, which indicated strong catalytic inhibition of the enzyme in vitro. The data showed that the fatty acid conjugates also possessed robust antioxidant activity in multiple analyses. This study also indicated that these compounds prompted significantly lower cellular damage in human fibroblasts than a currently used cancer drug sorafenib in vitro. The wide spectrum of anticancer action, supplemented with antioxidant potential along with non-toxic manifestations, certainly augment the anticancer candidacy of the novel fatty acid conjugates.

A series of gelators (Gm, m is the length of the alkyl tails, m = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18) containing 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane moieties were synthesized. The chemical structures of Gm were confirmed by 1H NMR and MS. The form-stable phase change materials (FSPCMs) were prepared by introducing Gm into paraffin. The minimum gelation concentration (MGC) and gel-to-sol transition temperature (TGS) properties were tested by the "tube-testing method". It found that Gm (m = 2, 4, 6) was insoluble in paraffin, while the MGC and TGS of Gm (m = 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18) increased with the increase of alkyl chain. The structure and morphology of the PCMs were systematically investigated by FT-IR, POM, 1D WXAD and SEM. Experimental results revealed that paraffin was restricted because the gelators could self-assemble into three-dimensional netted structures, leading to form the shape-stable PCMs without leakage even above their melting point. The thermal properties were studied by DSC. The research showed that the G18/paraffin FSPCMs exhibited excellent thermal stability and high heat storage density. The shape stability of G18/paraffin was investigated by rheological measurements, indicating that solid hard gel soft gel liquid was observed with the increase of temperature. This work is useful in the comprehensive academic research and industrial application of PCMs.

- Differential scanning calorimetric and powder X-ray diffraction studies on a homologous series of N-acyl-L-alanine esters with matched chains (n = 9-18)
-
A homologous series of two chain derivatives of L-alanine, namely N-acyl L-alanine alkyl esters (NAAEs), bearing matched, saturated, acyl and alkyl chains (n= 9-18) have been synthesized. The thermotropic phase transitions and supramolecular structure of NAAEs were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). Results obtained from DSC studies indicate that the transition temperatures (T t), enthalpies (ΔH t) and entropies (ΔS t) exhibit odd-even alternation with compounds bearing odd acyl and alkyl chains showing higher values of T t, ΔH t and ΔS t as compared to NAAEs with even acyl and alkyl chains. However, the transition enthalpies and entropies of the odd- and even chain length series independently exhibit a linear dependence on the chain length. The d-spacings obtained from PXRD increase linearly with chain length with an increment of 1.76 ?/CH 2, suggesting that NAAEs adopt either a tilted bilayer structure or a bent structure. The present results provide a thermodynamic and structural basis for investigating the interaction of NAAEs with other membrane lipids, which in turn can shed light in understanding how they can enhance the transdermal permeability of stratum corneum.

- Synthesis of coenzyme A thioesters using methyl acyl phosphates in an aqueous medium
-
Regioselective S-acylation of coenzyme A (CoA) is achieved under aqueous conditions using various aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids activated as their methyl acyl phosphate monoesters. Unlike many hydrophobic activating groups, the anionic methyl acyl phosphate mixed anhydride is more compatible with aqueous solvents, making it useful for conducting acylation reactions in an aqueous medium.

- Structure and thermotropic phase behavior of a homologous series of n -Acylglycines: Neuroactive and antinociceptive constituents of biomembranes
-
N-Acylglycines (NAGs) with different acyl chains have been found in the mammalian brain and other tissues. They exhibit significant biological and pharmacological properties and appear to play important roles in communication and signaling pathways within and between cells. In view of this, a homologous series of NAGs have been synthesized and characterized in the present study. Differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) studies show that the transition enthalpies and entropies of dry as well as hydrated NAGs exhibit a linear dependence on the acyl chain length. Most of the NAGs show a minor transition below the chain-melting phase transition, suggesting the presence of polymorphism in the solid state. Structures of N-myristoylglycine (NMG) and N-palmitoylglycine (NPG) were solved in monoclinic system with C2/c and P21 space groups, respectively. Analysis of the crystal structures show that NAGs are organized in a bilayer fashion, with head-to-head (and tail-to-tail) arrangement of molecules. The acyl chains in both structures are essentially perpendicular to the bilayer plane, which is consistent with a lack of odd-even alternation in the thermodynamic properties. The bilayer is stabilized by strong hydrogen bonding interactions between COOH groups of the molecules from opposite leaflets as well as N-H···O hydrogen bonds between the amide groups of adjacent molecules in the same leaflet and dispersion interactions among the acyl chains. Powder X-ray diffraction data show that the d-spacings for the NAGs with different acyl chains (n = 8-20) exhibit a linear dependence on the chain length, suggesting that all the NAGs investigated here adopt a similar packing arrangement in the crystal lattice. These observations are relevant for understanding the role of N-acylglycines in biological membranes.

- Asymmetric synthesis of novel N-(1-phenyl-2,3-dihydroxypropyl) arachidonylamides and evaluation of their anti-inflammatory activity
-
Aims: To design and synthesize novel N-(1-phenyl-2,3-dihydroxypropyl) arachidonylamides and evaluate their analgesic and anti-inflammatory potential. Main methods: The murine macrophage cell line RAW 264.7 has been widely used as a model for inflammatory responses in vitro. Our model consists of cultured monolayers of RAW 264.7 cells in which media concentrations of 15-deoxy-Δ13,14-PGJ2 (PGJ) are measured by ELISA following LPS (10 ng/ml) stimulation and treatment with 0.1, 0.3, 1.0, 3.0 and 10 μM concentrations of the compounds. Key findings: Our data indicate that several of our compounds have the capacity to increase production of PGJ and may also increase the occurrence of programmed cell death (apoptosis). Significance: Thus these agents are potential candidates for the therapy of conditions characterized by ongoing (chronic) inflammation and its associated pain.

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel aliphatic amido/sulfonamido-quaternary ammonium salts as antitumor agents
-
RhoB, one of the upstream signaling proteins of the phosphatidylinositol-3- kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway, is frequently mutated in human cancer. Based on a piperazine alkyl derivative that induced apoptosis via up-regulation of RhoB, we synthesized novel aliphatic amido/sulfonamido-quaternary ammonium salts and evaluated their biological activities using an in vitro growth inhibition assay and RhoB promoter assay in human cancer cells. Compound 3a was the most promising anticancer agent in the series, based upon its potent growth inhibition via RhoB-mediated signaling. These novel aliphatic amido/sulfonamido-quaternary ammonium salts may be useful as a platform for development of anticancer chemotherapeutic agents.

- Chloroform as a hydrogen atom donor in barton reductive decarboxylation reactions
-
The utility of chloroform as both a solvent and a hydrogen atom donor in Barton reductive decarboxylation of a range of carboxylic acids was recently demonstrated (Ko, E. J. et al. Org. Lett. 2011, 13, 1944). In the present work, a combination of electronic structure calculations, direct dynamics calculations, and experimental studies was carried out to investigate how chloroform acts as a hydrogen atom donor in Barton reductive decarboxylations and to determine the scope of this process. The results from this study show that hydrogen atom transfer from chloroform occurs directly under kinetic control and is aided by a combination of polar effects and quantum mechanical tunneling. Chloroform acts as an effective hydrogen atom donor for primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl radicals, although significant chlorination was also observed with unstrained tertiary carboxylic acids.

- Synthesis and antimycobacterial activity of isoniazid derivatives from renewable fatty acids

This work describes the synthesis of a series of fatty acid hydrazide derivatives of isoniazid (INH). The compounds were tested against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (ATCC 27294) as well as INH-resistant (ATCC 35822 and 1896 HF) and rifampicin-resistant (ATCC 35338) M. tuberculosis strains. The fatty acid derivatives of INH showed high antimycobacterial potency against the studied strains, which is desirable for a pharmaceutical compound, suggesting that the increased lipophilicity of isoniazid plays an important role in its antimycobacterial activity.

- The relationship between the structure and properties of amino acid surfactants based on glycine and serine
-
Two series of surfactants based on glycine and serine were synthesized with aproic acid, octanoic acid, decanoic acid, dodecanoic acid, tetradecanoic acid and hexadecanoic acid. All the surfactants were characterized by MS and 1H NMR, the structures of the synthesized surfactants are correct and the signals in MS and 1H NMR can be explained. The reaction conditions, surface properties and foam properties were studied. For the two series of surfactants, critical micelle concentration (CMC) and γ CMC (surface tension at CMC) decrease and surface activity is enhanced as the length of carbon chain increases. The surfactants with tetradecanoyl and hexadecanoyl groups show a good foaming property and especially, the long-chain acyl-serine performs better. These are all related to the hydromethyl group in the serine.

- N-acylated alanine methyl esters (NAMEs) from Roseovarius tolerans, structural analogs of quorum-sensing autoinducers, N-acylhomoserine lactones
-
The Roseobacter clade is one of the most important bacteria group living in the ocean. Liquid cultures of Roseovarius tolerans EL 164 were investigated for the production of autoinducers such as N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) and other secondary metabolites. The XAD extracts were analyzed by GC/MS. Two AHLs, Z7-C14: 1-homoserine lactone (HSL) and C15: 1-HSL, were identified. Additionally, the extract contained five compounds with molecular-ion peaks at m/z 104, 145, and 158, thus exhibiting mass spectra similar to those of AHLs with corresponding peaks at m/z 102, 143, and 156. Isolation of the main compound by column chromatography, NMR analysis, dimethyl disulfide derivatization for the determination of the location of the CiC bond and finally synthesis of the compound with the proposed structure confirmed the compound to be (Z)-N-(hexadec-9-enoyl)alanine methyl ester. Four additional minor compounds were identified as C14: 0-, C15: 0-, C16: 0-, and C17: 1-N-acylated alanine methyl esters (NAMEs). All NAMEs have not been described from natural sources before. A BLASTp search showed the presence of AHL-producing luxI genes, but no homologous genes potentially responsible for the structurally closely related NAMEs were found. The involvement of the NAMEs in chemical communication processes of the bacteria is discussed. Copyright

- Electrospray ionization and collision induced dissociation mass spectrometry of primary fatty acid amides
-
Primary fatty acid amides are a group of bioactive lipids that have been linked with a variety of biological processes such as sleep regulation and modulation of monoaminergic systems. As novel forms of these molecules continue to be discovered, more emphasis will be placed on selective, trace detection. Currently, there is no published experimental determination of collision induced dissociation of PFAMs. A select group of PFAM standards, 12 to 22 length carbon chains, were directly infused into an electrospray ionization source Quadrupole Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer. All standards were monitored in positive mode using the [M + H]+ peak. Mass Hunter Qualitative Analysis software was used to calculate empirical formulas of the product ions. All PFAMs showed losses of 14 m/z indicative of an acyl chain, while the monounsaturated group displayed neutral losses corresponding to H2O and NH3. The resulting spectra were used to propose fragmentation mechanisms. Isotopically labeled PFAMs were used to validate the proposed mechanisms. Patterns of saturated versus unsaturated standards were distinctive, allowing for simple differentiation. This determination will allow for fast, qualitative identification of PFAMs. Additionally, it will provide a method development tool for selection of unique product ions when analyzed in multiple reaction monitoring mode.

- Site-selective alkyl dehydrogenation of a coordinated acylphosphine ligand
-
Regio- and stereoselective alkane dehydrogenation is a difficult challenge in organometallic chemistry. Intermolecular reactions of this type typically produce numerous olefin stereo- and regioisomers. Herein, we report our initial investigations into the intramolecular dehydrogenation of a datively bound alkyl ligand, demonstrating the first example of a site-selective dehydrogenation of an unactivated acyclic alkyl group. The alkyl group is located on an acylphosphine ligand that is coordinated to a Cp*IrCl2 monomer. A mechanistic proposal, guided by the isolation of a dimeric iridium complex and supported by computational results, is also described.

Small molecule HAT inhibitors are useful tools to unravel the role of histone acetyltransferases (HATs) in the cell and have relevance for oncology. We synthesized a series of N-acylanthranilic acids (11-16) and of N-acyl-5-hydroxyanthranilic acids (17-22) bearing C6, C8, C10, C12, C14, along with C16 acyl chain at the 2-amino position of anthranilic acid or 5-hydroxyanthranilic acid. Enzyme inhibition of these compounds was investigated, using in vitro PCAF HAT assays. All synthesized compounds (65-76%) showed similar inhibitory activity to anacardic acid (68%) at 100 μM. The cytotoxicity, against one normal cell line (HSF) and eight cancer cell lines (HT-29, HCT-116, MDA-231, A-549, Hep3B, Caski, HeLa and Caki), were evaluated by the SRB method.

- Inhibition of PCAF histone acetyltransferase, cytotoxicity and cell permeability of 2-acylamino-1-(3-or 4-carboxy-phenyl)benzamides
-
Small molecule HAT inhibitors are useful tools to unravel the role of histone acetyltransferases (HATs) in the cell and they also have relevance in oncology. We synthesized a series of 2-acylamino-1-(3- or 4-carboxyphenyl) benzamides 8-19 bearing C6, C8, C10, C12, C14, and C16 acyl chains at the 2-amino position of 2-aminobenzoic acid. Enzyme inhibition of these compounds was investigated using in vitro PCAF HAT assays. The inhibitory activities of compounds 8-10, 16, and 19 were similar to that of anacardic acid, and 17 was found to be more active than anacardic acid at 100 μM. Compounds 11-15 showed the low inhibitory activity on PCAF HAT. The cytotoxicity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated by SRB (sulforhodamine B) assay against seven human cancer cell lines: HT-29 (colon), HCT-116 (colon), MDA-231 (breast), A549 (lung), Hep3B (hepatoma), HeLa (cervical) and Caki (kidney) and one normal cell line (HSF). Compound 17 was more active than anacardic acid against human colon cancer (HCT 116, IC50: 29.17 μM), human lung cancer (A549, IC 50: 32.09 μM) cell lines. 18 was more active than anacardic acid against human colon cancer (HT-29, IC50: 35.49 μM and HCT 116, IC50: 27.56 μM), human lung cancer (A549, IC50: 30.69 μM), and human cervical cancer (HeLa, IC50: 34.41 μM) cell lines. The apparent permeability coefficient (Papp, cm/s) values of two compounds (16 and 17) were evaluated as 68.21 and 71.48 × 10 -6 cm/s by Caco-2 cell permeability assay.

- Synthesis, modelling and kinetic assays of potent inhibitors of purple acid phosphatase
-
Purple acid phosphatases (PAPs) are binuclear metallohydrolases that have been isolated from various mammals, plants, fungi and bacteria. In mammals PAP activity is associated with bone resorption and can lead to bone metabolic disorders such as osteoporosis; thus human PAP is an attractive target to develop anti-osteoporotic drugs. Based on a previous lead compound and rational drug design, acyl derivatives of α-aminonaphthylmethylphosphonic acid were synthesised and tested as PAP inhibitors. Kinetic analysis showed that they are good PAP inhibitors whose potencies improve with increasing acyl chain length. Maximum potency is reached when the number of carbons in the acyl chain is between 12 and 14. The most potent inhibitor of red kidney bean PAP is the dodecyl-derivative with Kic = 5 μM, while the most potent pig PAP inhibitor is the tetradecyl-derivative with Kic = 8 μM, the most potent inhibitor of a mammalian PAP yet reported.

We synthesized novel aliphatic amido-quaternary ammonium salts in an effort to discover anticancer agents that increase Ras homolog gene family, member B, (RhoB) levels. These compounds exert anti-proliferative activities against several human cancer cell types. Seventeen compounds, varying in aliphatic carbon chain length and N-substituents, were synthesized and their biological activities were evaluated. Of these 17 compounds, compound 3i emerged as the most promising anticancer compound by promoting apoptosis through the RhoB mediated pathway. Potent biological activities observed for these novel aliphatic amido-quaternary ammonium salt analogues support their potential as anticancer, chemotherapeutic agents.

- Lizard epidermal gland secretions. II. Chemical characterization of the generation gland secretion of the sungazer, cordylus giganteus
-
In lizards, the epidermal glands of the femoral and precloacal regions are involved in the production of semiochemicals. In addition to its femoral glands, the giant girdled lizard, or sungazer, Cordylus giganteus, which is endemic to South Africa, has generation glands as an additional potential source of semiochemicals. These epidermal glands are described as glandular scales that overlay the femoral glands and are included in the normal epidermal profile located in the femoral (thigh) and anterior antebrachial (fore-leg) regions of the male sungazer. GC-MS analysis of the generation gland secretions and the trimethylsilyl derivatives of some of the steroidal constituents was employed to identify 59 constituents, including alkenes, carboxylic acids, alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, esters, amides, nitriles, and steroids. The quantitative differences of the volatile constituents of the fore- and hind-leg generation glands were compared between individuals. This is the first report on the chemical composition of generation glandular material of lizards.

We report a new method for fast and sensitive analyses of biologically relevant fatty acids (FAs) in red blood cells (RBC) by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS). A new chemical derivatization approach was developed forming picolylamides from FAs in a quantitative reaction. Fourteen derivatized FA standards, including saturated and unsaturated FAs from C14 to C22, were efficiently separated within 15 min. In addition, the use of a recently introduced benchtop orbitrap mass spectrometer under positive electrospray ionization (ESI) full scan mode showed a 2-10-fold improvement in sensitivity compared with a conventional tandem MS method, with a limit of detection in the low femtomole range for saturated and unsaturated FAs. The developed method was applied to determine FA concentrations in RBC with intra- and interday coefficients of variation below 10%.

- Preparation and characterization of a series of thiourea derivatives as phase change materials for thermal energy storage
-
A series of solid-liquid phase change materials, thiourea derivatives, were prepared via condensation of thiourea with the respective carboxyl chlorides (lauroyl chloride, myristoyl chloride, and palmitoyl chloride) and were then characterized by using FT-IR, 1H-NMR, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. The thiourea derivatives (1,3-didodecanoyl thiourea, 1,3-ditetradecanoyl thiourea, and 1,3-dihexadecanoyl thiourea) were structurally symmetric and had long alkyl groups to crystallize. Thermal analysis by DSC and spectroscopic investigation by FT-IR spectroscopy were performed on the samples before and after thermal cycling tests to determine thermal reliability. The maximum latent heats of melting and freezing of the thiourea derivatives were found to be 114.6 and -110.0 J/g for 1,3-didodecanoyl thiourea, 119.5 and -122.4 J/g for 1,3-ditetradecanoyl thiourea, and 148.8 and -142.7 J/g for 1,3-dihexadecanoyl thiourea after accelerated thermal cycling. A TG instrument was used to determine the starting point of degradation in the thiourea derivatives; it was found that the thiourea derivatives degraded at sufficiently higher temperatures than the expected utility temperatures.
