Owing to their ability to monitor pH in a precise and rapid manner, optical probes have widely been developed for biological and nonbiological applications. The strategies thus far employed to determine pH rely on two types of processes including reversible protonation of amine nitrogen atoms and deprotonation of phenols. We have developed a novel dual, colorimetric/fluorescence system for determining the pH of a solution. This system utilizes an o-hydroxymerocyanine dye that undergoes a nucleophilic addition reaction that subsequently causes reversible structural changes interconverting a merocyanine to a spirocyanine and a spirocyanine to a spiropyran. It was demonstrated that the dye can be employed to measure the pH of solutions in the 2.5-5.75 and 9.6-11.8 ranges with color changes from yellow to dark blue and then to lavender. Moreover, the fluorescence response associated with the spirocyanine-spiropyran transformation of the dye occurring in alkaline solutions provides a precise method. Strike that, reverse it! A novel dual, colorimetric/fluorescence system for determining the pH of a solution has been developed. This system utilizes an o-hydroxymerocyanine dye, which undergoes a nucleophilic addition reaction that subsequently causes reversible structural changes interconverting a merocyanine to a spirocyanine and a spirocyanine to a spiropyran (see scheme).

Four dyads comprised of cor-role and coumarin units have been synthesised. Three coumarincarboxalde-hydes were synthesized and transformed into the corresponding trans-A2B-corroles by reaction with 5 (pentafluorophenyl)dipyrromethane. It has been proven that this type of direct condensation can lead to the corresponding corroles in moderate yields. The reaction of hydroxybenzaldehydes with vinylphosphonium salts has been identified as the most general method for the preparation of formyl-coumar-ins with various patterns of substitu-ents. The dyad consisting of ketobis-coumarin and corrole was synthesized by Sonogashira coupling. Spectroscopic and photophysical investigations revealed that there is an efficient energy transfer from the coumarin moiety to corrole in all four dyads. Energy transfer can be clearly ascribed to a dipole-dipole mechanism (Foerster) for all dyads that contain luminescent coumarins and to an electron exchange mechanism (Dexter) for the dyad with the non-luminescent one. In the case of the dyad that bears coumarin with a hydroxy group at position 5, an electron-transfer was detected from corrole to coumarin. The latter process is possible because of the suitably low reduction potential of coumarins of this type.

An ICT based ultraselective and sensitive probe for colorimetric and fluorescent detection of HClO via oxidative cleavage of an alkene linker to epoxide and then to aldehydes was developed through the conjugation of pyridinium with vanilline.

Autophagy-related proteins (Atgs) drive the lysosome-mediated degradation pathway, autophagy, to enable the clearance of dysfunctional cellular components and maintain homeostasis. In humans, this process is driven by the mammalian Atg8 (mAtg8) family of proteins comprising the LC3 and GABARAP subfamilies. The mAtg8 proteins play essential roles in the formation and maturation of autophagosomes and the capture of specific cargo through binding to the conserved LC3-interacting region (LIR) sequence within target proteins. Modulation of interactions of mAtg8 with its target proteins via small-molecule ligands would enable further interrogation of their function. Here we describe unbiased fragment and DNA-encoded library (DEL) screening approaches for discovering LC3 small-molecule ligands. Both strategies resulted in compounds that bind to LC3, with the fragment hits favoring a conserved hydrophobic pocket in mATG8 proteins, as detailed by LC3A-fragment complex crystal structures. Our findings demonstrate that the malleable LIR-binding surface can be readily targeted by fragments; however, rational design of additional interactions to drive increased affinity proved challenging. DEL libraries, which combine small, fragment-like building blocks into larger scaffolds, yielded higher-affinity binders and revealed an unexpected potential for reversible, covalent ligands. Moreover, DEL hits identified possible vectors for synthesizing fluorescent probes or bivalent molecules for engineering autophagic degradation of specific targets.

A copper-mediated Duff reaction for ortho-selective formylation of phenols has been developed. In the presence of copper species, significant improvements of yield and ortho-selectivity of the Duff formylation were achieved, which provides an easy access to salicylaldehydes from phenols.

The synthesis of a series of 4-(6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-2-yl)methyl-2-arylbenzofuran and 4-(6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-2-yl)methylbenzofuran-2-carboxamide derivatives as novel α2C-adrenergic receptor antagonists are described. Their affinity at three different human α2-adrenergic receptors is reported, and some of these compounds exhibited high affinity for the α2C-adrenergic receptor with high subtype selectivity. Among them, compound 10e has been found to show the anti-l-dopa-induced dyskinetic activity in marmosets. The structure-activity relationship of these compounds is also discussed.

High molecular mass fractions were separated by ultrafiltration from water samples collected at four sampling stations downstream and one upstream of a kraft pulp mill. These fractions and three sediment samples containing high molecular mass organic compound were degraded by alkaline cupric oxide oxidation. Lignin and humic compounds in fractions were characterized analyzing their oxidation products by reversed phase HPLC and photodiode array detection. -from Authors

Anodic oxidation of 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (II) in acetonitrile-acetic acid (3:1) containing sodium acetate gave an acetoxylated product in which the acetoxyl group is attached to the side-chain methyl group.On the other hand, oxidation of Schiff bases (I) derived from II under the same conditions gave cyclohexenetriones.The latter products were shown to be formed by further oxidation of the initially formed acetoxylated Schiff bases, in which the acetoxy group is introduced into the ring meta to the hydroxyl group.Keywords - anodic acetoxylation; cyclic voltametry; controlled potential electrolysis; salicylaldehydes; phenolic Schiff bases; cyclohexenetriones
