- COMPOUNDS FOR THE REDUCTION OF THE DELETERIOUS ACTIVITY OF EXTENDED NUCLEOTIDE REPEAT CONTAINING GENES
-
Aspects of the present disclosure include methods of reducing the deleterious impact of a target gene in a cell, such as the deleterious activity of a mutant extended nucleotide repeat (NR) containing target gene in a cell by contacting the cell with an effective amount of a tetrahydrocarbazole compound. The deleterious activity (e.g., toxicity and/or dis-functionality of products encoded thereby) of a mutant extended NR containing target gene may be reduced, e.g., by reducing (and in some instances differentially, including selectively, reducing) the production or activity of toxic expression products (e.g., RNA or protein) encoded by the target gene. Kits and compositions for practicing the subject methods are also provided.

- Oxo Complexes of Ruthenium(VI) and (VII) as Organic Oxidants
-
Oxidation of a variety of saturated and unsaturated primary and secondary alcohols by tetraoxoruthenate(VI), 2-, tetraoxoruthenate(VII), -, barium trans-trioxodihydroxoruthenium(VI), trans-Ba, dioxotrichlororuthenate(VI), -, and dioxodichlorobipyridylruthenate(VI),, has been studied; 2- may be used catalytically in conjunction with 2- under basic aqueous conditions.For some of these systems, the oxidation of several aldehydes and amines were also examined.Both 2- and - oxidise primary alcohols to carboxylic acids and secondary alcohols to ketones; the reactivity of these reagents towards unsaturated alcohols was studied in particular.The new species and also cleanly oxidise a wide range of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones without attack of double bonds.Ba functions as a heterogeneous oxidant in dichloromethane, oxidising only the most reactive alcohols to aldehydes.
