Dendrimer-like polymeric DNAs as chemiluminescence probes for amplified detection of telomere DNA on a solid-phase membrane
El-Mahdy, Ahmed F. M.,Shibata, Takayuki,Kabashima, Tsutomu,Kai, Masaaki
, p. 859 - 861 (2014)
For the first time, an amplified chemiluminescence (CL) detection of the telomere DNA spotted on a nylon membrane is described here, based on the direct hybridization with the CL probe of dendrimer-like polymeric DNAs possessing a large number of guanine moieties. This probe was synthesized by sense and antisense hybridization between Y-shaped DNAs and then could hybridize with the target DNA. The Royal Society of Chemistry.
Wavelength selective polymer network formation of end-functional star polymers

A wavelength selective technique for light-induced network formation based on two photo-active moieties, namely ortho-methylbenzaldehyde and tetrazole is introduced. The network forming species are photo-reactive star polymers generated via reversible activation fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, allowing the network to be based on almost any vinylic monomer. Direct laser writing (DLW) allows to form any complex three-dimensional structure based on the photo-reactive star polymers.

We introduce a light induced sequence enabling λ-orthogonal star polymer formation via an arms-first approach, based on an α,ω-functional polymer carrying tetrazole and o-methyl benzaldehyde moieties, which upon irradiation can readily undergo cycloaddition with a trifunctional maleimide core. Depending on the wavelength, the telechelic strand can be attached to the core at either photo-reactive end.

Flexible branched primers were designed to construct stable gene nanoparticles with multiple target gene copies through polymerase chain reaction, which can be used as an efficient transcription template in eukaryotic cells for gene delivery.

Page/Page column 11, (2015/02/25)
A composition includes a reversible polymer material, which can reversibly transition between a liquid state and a solid state by reversible cycloaddition reactions, wherein upon cooling, the reversible polymer material transitions from a liquid state to a solid state by reversible cycloaddition reactions within a time period of less than about 10 seconds.
A New Class of Bradykinin Antagonists: Synthesis and in Vitro Activity of Bissuccinimidoalkane Peptide Dimers
Cheronis, John C.,Whalley, Eric T.,Nguyen, Khe T.,Eubanks, Shad R.,Allen, Lisa G.,et al.

A systematic study on the dimerization of the bradykinin (BK) antagonist D-Arg0-Arg1-Pro2-Hyp3-Gly4-Phe5-Ser6-D-Phe7-Leu8-Arg9 has been performed.The first part of this study involved compounds wherein dimerization was carried out by sequentially replacing each amino acid with cysteine and cross-linking with bismaleimidohexane.The second part of this study utilized a series of bissuccinimidoalkane dimers wherein the intervening methylene chain was varied systematically from n = 2 to n = 12 while the point of dimerization was held constant at position 6.The biological activities of these dimers were then evaluated on BK-induced smooth muscle contraction in two different isolated tissue preparations: guinea pig ileum (GPI) and rat uterus (RU).Several of the dimeric BK antagonists displayed remarkable activites and long durations of action.In addition, dimerization at position 4, 7, 8, or 9 produced dimeric analogues with markedly reduced potency.Rank order of antagonist potency as a function of dimerization position is as follows: rat uterus, 6 > 5 > 0 > 2 > 1 >3 >> 4, 7, 8, 9; guinea pig ileum, 6 > 5 > 3 > 2 > 1 > 0 >> 4, 7, 8, 9.Evaluation of the linker length as represented by the number of methylene units indicated an optimal distance between the two monomeric peptides of six to eight methylene moieties.These studies also revealed that the carbon-chain length significantly affected the duration of action in vitro and resulted in partial agonism effects when n > 8.The optimum activity in vitro was achieved with dimerization at position 6 and n = 6 (designated herein as compound 25; alternatively, CP-0127).Similar effects in potency were also seen when the monomeric antagonist D-Arg0-Arg1-Pro2-Hyp3-Gly4-Phe5-Ser6-D-Phe7-Phe8-Arg9 (NPC-567) was dimerized using similar chemistry.These results suggest that the development of BK antagonists of significant therapeutic potential may be possible using a dimerization strategy that can overcome the heretofore limiting problems of potency and in vivo duration of action found with many of the BK antagonists in the literature.
