- Synthesis and activity of novel homodimers of Morita–Baylis–Hillman adducts against Leishmania donovani: A twin drug approach
-
It is reported here the synthesis of novel Homodimers 12–19 of Morita–Baylis–Hillman adducts (MBHA) from one-pot Morita–Baylis–Hillman Reaction (MBHR) between aromatic aldehydes as eletrophiles and ethylene glycol diacrylate as Michael acceptor (35–94% yields) using cheap and green conditions. The bioactivities were evaluated against promastigote form of Leishmania donovani. All homodimers showed to be more potent than corresponding monomers. It is worth highlighting that the halogenated homodimers 17 and 18 (0.50?μM) is almost 400 times more active than the corresponding monomer 10 and 1.24 times more potent than the second-line drug amphotericin B (0.62?μM). Moreover, the selectivity index to 18 is very high (SIrb?>?400) far better than amphotericin B (SIrb?=?18.73). This is the first report of twin drugs strategy applied on Morita–Baylis–Hillman adducts.

- A facile approach to bis(Isoxazoles), promising ligands of the ampa receptor
-
A convenient synthetic approach to novel functionalized bis(isoxazoles), the promising bivalent ligands of the AMPA receptor, was elaborated. It was based on the heterocyclization reactions of readily available electrophilic alkenes with the tetranitromethane-triethylamine complex. The structural diversity of the synthesized compounds was demonstrated. In the electrophysi-ological experiments using the patch clamp technique on Purkinje neurons, the compound 1,4-phenylenedi(methylene)bis(5-aminoisoxazole-3-carboxylate) was shown to be highly potent positive modulator of the AMPA receptor, potentiating kainate-induced currents up to 70% at 10?11 M.

- A unique aliphatic tertiary amine chromophore: Fluorescence, polymer structure, and application in cell imaging
-
Although photoluminescence of tertiary aliphatic amines has been extensively studied, the usage of this fundamental chromophore as a fluorescent probe for various applications has unfortunately not been realized because their uncommon fluorescence is easily quenched, and strong fluorescence has been observed only in vapor phase. The objective of this study is how to retain the strong fluorescence of tertiary amines in polymers. Tertiary amines as branching units of the hyperbranched poly(amine-ester) (HypET) display relatively strong fluorescence (Φ = 0.11-0.43). The linear polymers with tertiary amines in the backbone or as the side group are only very weakly fluorescent. The tertiary amine of HypET is easily oxidized under ambient conditions, and red-shifting of fluorescence for the oxidized products has been observed. The galactopyranose-modified HypET exhibits low cytotoxicity and bright cell imaging. Thus, this study opens a new route of synthesizing fluorescent materials for cell imaging, biosensing, and drug delivery.

- Hydroxy functional acrylate and methacrylate monomers prepared via lipase-catalyzed transacylation reactions
-
Candida antarctica lipase B (CAL-B, Novozyme 435) catalyzes the transacylation of methyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate with diols and triols in 2-methyl-2-butanol at 50 °C. Under the experimental conditions, up to 70 mol% of the acyl donor methyl acrylate was converted. Methyl methacrylate is the less efficient acyl donor (up to 60 mol%) due to the higher sterical hindrance in the enzymatic transacylation. Under the reaction conditions high yields of the mono-acylated products are obtained, which contain minor amounts of bis(meth)acrylates. In addition it was observed that Novozyme 435 catalyzes regioselectively the acylation of the primary hydroxyl groups. In comparison with the chemical catalyzed route no selectivity was observed for unsubstituted diols. For substituted diols more mono-acylated product was formed in the lipase-catalyzed reaction than in the chemical catalyzed reaction.

- Process for the conversion of aldehydes to esters
-
A process for the conversion of aldehydes to esters, specifically acrolein or methacrolein to methyl acrylate or methyl methacrylate, respectively. Essentially in the absence of water, an aldehyde is contacted with an oxidizing agent to form an intermediate and then the intermediate is contacted with a diol or an alcohol to form an ester or diester. Preferably, the oxidizing agent is also a chlorinating agent. Specifically, acrolein or methacrolein is contacted with an oxidizing/chlorinating agent, such as t-butyl hypochlorite, and the chlorinated compound is contacted with an alcohol, such as methanol, to form methyl acrylate or methyl methacrylate, respectively. Generally, the order of addition is for the oxidizing agent to be added to the aldehyde, specifically for t-butyl hypochlorite to be added to acrolein or methacrolein, and for the diol or alcohol to be added to the intermediate, specifically for the methanol to be added to the reaction product of acrolein or methacrolein and t-butyl hypochlorite. The process of the present invention can be carried out in the absence or in the presence of solvent. Generally, better methyl acrylate or methyl methacrylate yields are obtained at lower reaction temperatures.
