- A Cell-Targeted Non-Cytotoxic Fluorescent Nanogel Thermometer Created with an Imidazolium-Containing Cationic Radical Initiator
-
A cationic fluorescent nanogel thermometer based on thermo-responsive N-isopropylacrylamide and environment-sensitive benzothiadiazole was developed with a new azo compound bearing imidazolium rings as the first cationic radical initiator. This cationic fluorescent nanogel thermometer showed an excellent ability to enter live mammalian cells in a short incubation period (10 min), a high sensitivity to temperature variations in live cells (temperature resolution of 0.02–0.84 °C in the range 20–40 °C), and remarkable non-cytotoxicity, which permitted ordinary cell proliferation and even differentiation of primary cultured cells.

- Synthesis of 13C-dilabeled 4-coumaroylspermidines
-
Five 13C-dilabeled constitution isomers of 4-coumaroylspermidines were prepared in nine to eleven steps: N1,4-di[(E)-4-coumaroyl]-(5,8- 13C2)spermidine (13b), N1-[(E)-4-coumaroyl]-(5,8-13C2)spermidine (17b), N1,8-di[(E)-4-coumaroyl]-(1,4-13C2)spermidine (20b), N4-[(E)-4- coumaroyl]-(1,4-13C2)spermidine (24b) and N1,4,8-tri[(E)-4-coumaroyl]- (5,8-13C2)spermidine (26). The two 13C-atoms were subsequently introduced using labeled potassium cyanide. The synthesis proceeds through stepwise construction of the polyamine backbone including protection and deprotection steps of the amino functions. Based on 1H-1H NOE interactions, the preliminary study of their binding reveals that 20b binds to tRNA in the same way as spermidine does, whereas 24b and 26 do not show any NOE effects with the tRNA protons.
