- Follow on-based optimization of the biphenyl-DAPYs as HIV-1 nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors against the wild-type and mutant strains
-
The present work follows our preliminary discovery of biphenyl diarylpyrimidines (DAPYs) as HIV-1 nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Further structural optimization of biphenyl-DAPYs led to the identification of a new series of biphenyl-substituted thiophene[3,2-d]pyrimidine analogues by a scaffold-hopping strategy. Biological evaluation of this series showed that these compounds possessed up to single-digit nanomolar potency (EC50 = 7.8–526.2 nM) and prominently low toxicity (CC50 = 18.5–280.8 μM) against wild-type (WT) HIV-1-infected cells. Furthermore, the results also demonstrated that compounds 29–32 exhibited high, broad-spectrum antiviral effects against clinically observed HIV-1 mutants. Specifically, compound 30, which had the highest selectivity index (SI = 16094) and the best anti-reverse transcriptase ability (IC50 = 39 nM), displayed marked inhibitory activity (EC50 = 13.5, 9.4, 17.0, 52.0, and 58.2 nM) against WT, K103N, E138K, L100I, Y181C mutants and moderate activity against double mutants. This study provides important avenues for the further design of HIV-1 inhibitors.

- Chemical programming of the domain of existence of liquid crystals
-
This work illustrates how enthalpy and entropy changes responsible for successive phase transitions of cyanobiphenyl-based liquid crystals can be combined to give cohesive free energy densities. These new parameters are able to rationalize and quantify the demixing of the melting and clearing processes that occur in thermotropic liquid crystals. Minor structural variations at the molecular level can be understood as pressure increments that alter either the melting or clearing temperatures in a predictable way. This assessment of microsegregation operating in amphiphilic molecules paves the way for the chemical programming of the domain of existence of liquid-crystalline phases. Changing states: The cohesive free energy density concept (CFED) is applied to thermotropic cyanobiphenyl-based liquid crystals to establish predictive quantitative correlations between each antagonist segments of the amphiphilic molecules (flexible alkyl tail/rigid aromatic core) and their transition temperatures (solid→liquid crystalline/liquid crystalline→ isotropic liquid; see figure).

- Enthalpy-entropy compensation combined with cohesive free-energy densities for tuning the melting temperatures of cyanobiphenyl derivatives
-
This work illustrates how minor structural perturbations produced by methylation of 4′-(dodecyloxy)-4-cyanobiphenyl leads to enthalpy-entropy compensation for their melting processes, a trend which can be analyzed within the frame of a simple intermolecular cohesive model. The transformation of the melting thermodynamic parameters collected at variable temperatures into cohesive free-energy densities expressed at a common reference temperature results in a novel linear correlation, from which melting temperatures can be simply predicted from molecular volumes. In tune with temperature! The transformation of the melting thermodynamic parameters into cohesive free-energy densities (CFED) for 4′-(n-oxy)-i′-methyl-j-methyl-4-cyanobiphenyl (CnLi′,j) provides a novel linear correlation for predicting melting temperatures in a simple way.
