The entry of enveloped virus requires the fusion of viral and host cell membranes. An effective fusion inhibitor aiming at impeding such membrane fusion may emerge as a broad-spectrum antiviral agent against a wide range of viral infections. Mycobacterium survives inside the phagosome by inhibiting phagosome–lysosome fusion with the help of a coat protein coronin 1. Structural analysis of coronin 1 and other WD40-repeat protein suggest that the trp-asp (WD) sequence is placed at distorted β-meander motif (more exposed) in coronin 1. The unique structural feature of coronin 1 was explored to identify a simple lipo-peptide sequence (myr-WD), which effectively inhibits membrane fusion by modulating the interfacial order, water penetration, and surface potential. The mycobacterium inspired lipo-dipeptide was successfully tested to combat type 1 influenza virus (H1N1) and murine coronavirus infections as a potential broad-spectrum antiviral agent.
L-proline/cholesterol and diosgenin based thiourea cooperative system for the direct asymmetric aldol reaction in the presence of water

A series of cholesterol and based hydrophobic urea and thiourea compounds were synthesized and successfully used as a cocatalyst for L-proline catalyzed aldol reactions in the presence of water. The anticonfigured products were obtained with good yields (up to 94%), high diastereoselectivities (up to 95:5), and high enantiomeric excesses (up to 93% ee). The successful results for catalytic efficiency of L-proline in the presence of water reveal the importance of the hydrophobic nature of cholesterol and diosgenin parts of thiourea on the reactivity and selectivity in the presence of water.

1-(Hydroxyacetyl)pyrene has been introduced as a new fluorescent phototrigger for alcohols and phenols. Alcohols and phenols were protected as their corresponding carbonate esters by coupling with fluorescent phototrigger, 1-(hydroxyacetyl)pyrene. Photophysical studies of caged carbonates showed that they all exhibited strong fluorescence properties. Irradiation of the caged carbonates by visible light (≥410 nm) in aqueous acetonitrile released the corresponding alcohols or phenols in high chemical (95-97%) and quantum (0.17-0.21) yields. The mechanism for the photorelease was proposed based on Stern-Volmer quenching experiments and solvent effect studies. Importantly, 1-(hydroxyacetyl)pyrene showed as a phototrigger for rapid photorelease of the biologically active molecule adenosine. In vitro biological studies revealed that 1-(hydroxyacetyl)pyrene has good biocompatibility, cellular uptake property and cell imaging ability.

Perylen-3-ylmethyl demonstrated as a new fluorescent photoremovable protecting group (FPRPG) for carboxylic acids and alcohols. Carboxylic acids including amino acids were protected as their corresponding esters by coupling with FPRPG, perylen-3-ylmethyl. Photophysical studies of caged esters showed that they all exhibited strong fluorescence properties and their fluorescence quantum yields were in the range of 0.85-0.95. Irradiation of the caged esters using visible light (≥410 nm) in aqueous acetonitrile released the corresponding carboxylic acids in high chemical (94-97%) and quantum (0.072-0.093) yields. The results obtained from the photolysis of the caged ester in different solvents indicated that solvent has influence on the rate of photorelease. Further, we also explored the ability of FPRPG, perylen-3-ylmethyl for the protection of alcohols and phenols.

Page 15, (2008/06/13)
Disclosed are gene carriers utilizing β-1,3-glucan and methods of preparing the same. The β-1,3-glucan has at least one 1,6-glucopyranoside branch and is chemically modified through periodate oxidation and reductive animation so as to impart nucleic acid-binding functional groups (for example, cationic functional groups) to at least some of the 1,6-glucopyranoside branches thereof. Triple helix β-1,3-glucan is dissolved in a polar organic solvent to form single-stranded β-1,3-glucan. By replacing, in the presence of a nucleic acid, the polar organic solvent for the solution containing the chemically modified single-stranded β-1,3-glucan by water, a complex (gene carrier) is formed in which the nucleic acid is bound to double-stranded β-1,3-glucan.
