Pt(IV) complexes are considered to act as antitumor prodrugs and their in vivo activity can be improved exploiting drug targeting and delivery strategies. With a view to such applications, the maleimide-containing ligand 2-(2,5-dioxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)acetic acid was used to produce the cisplatin-based Pt(IV) complexes (OC-6-44)-diamminedichlorido(ethanolato)(2-(2,5-dioxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)acetato)platinum(IV) and (OC-6-44)-acetatodiamminedichlorido(2-(2,5-dioxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)acetato)platinum(IV). These complexes underwent Diels-Alder reaction with furan, used as a model molecule to set up the experimental conditions, at ambient temperature up to 50 h, with limited decomposition. Finally, the reaction between the maleimide-containing Pt(IV) complexes and silica nanoparticles decorated with furan were successfully used as a proof-of-concept to demonstrate the clickability of functionalized vectors for drug delivery.
Synthesis and in vitro testing of new potent polyacridine-melittin gene delivery peptides

The combination of a polyacridine peptide modified with a melittin fusogenic peptide results in a potent gene transfer agent. Polyacridine peptides of the general formula (Acr-X)n-Cys were prepared by solid-phase peptide synthesis, where Acr is
Probing structural effects on replication efficiency through comparative analyses of families of potential self-replicators

A formidable synthetic apparatus for the creation of nanoscale molecular structures and supramolecular assemblies through molecular structures can potentially be created from systems that are capable of parallel automultiplication (self-replication). In order to achieve this goal, a detailed understanding of the relationship be tween molecular structure and replication efficiency is necessary. Diastereoisomeric templates that are capable of specific and simultaneous autocatalysis have been synthesised. A systematic experimental and theoretical evaluation of their behaviour and that of structurally-related systems reveals the key determinants that dictate the emergence of self-replicative function and defines the structural space within which this behaviour is observed.
