In this work two novel cationic lipids using natural tartaric acid as linking backbone were synthesized. These cationic lipids were simply constructed by tartaric acid backbone using head group 6-aminocaproic acid and saturated hydrocarbon chains dodecanol (T-C12-AH) or hexadecanol (T-C16-AH). The physicochemical properties, gel electrophoresis, transfection activities, and cytotoxicity of cationic liposomes were tested. The optimum formulation for T-C12-AH and T-C16-AH was at cationic lipid/dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) molar ratio of 1:0.5 and 1:2, respectively, and N/P charge molar ratio of 1:1 and 1:1, respectively. Under optimized conditions, T-C12-AH and T-C16-AH showed effective gene transfection capabilities, superior or comparable to that of commercially available transfecting reagent 3β-[N-(N′,N′-dimethylaminoethyl)carbamoyl]cholesterol (DC-Chol) and N-[2,3-dioleoyloxypropyl]-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride (DOTAP). The results demonstrated that the two novel tartaric acid-based cationic lipids exhibited low toxicity and efficient transfection performance, offering an excellent prospect as nonviral vectors for gene delivery.

Peptide-drug conjugates have emerged as a potent approach to enhance the targeting and pharmacokinetic profiles of drugs. However, the impact of the linker unit has not been explored/exploited in depth. Gemcitabine (dFdC) is an anticancer agent used against a variety of solid tumours. Despite its potency, gemcitabine suffers mostly due to its unspecific toxicity, lack of targeting and rapid metabolic inactivation. To minimize these limitations and enable its targeting to tumours overexpressing the GnRH receptor, we examined the peptide-drug conjugation approach. Our design hypothesis was driven by the impact that the linker unit could have on the peptide-drug conjugate efficacy. Along these lines, in order to exploit the potential to manipulate the potency of gemcitabine through altering the linker unit we constructed three different novel peptide-drug conjugates assembled of gemcitabine, the tumour-homing peptide D-Lys6-GnRH and modified linker building blocks. Specifically, the linker was sculpted to either allow slow drug release (utilizing carbamate bond) or rapid disassociation (using amide and ester bonds). Notably, the new analogues possessed up to 95.5-fold enhanced binding affinity for the GnRH receptor (GnRH-R) compared to the natural peptide ligand D-Lys6-GnRH. Additionally, their in vitro cytotoxicity was evaluated in four different cancer cell lines. Their cellular uptake, release of gemcitabine and inactivation of gemcitabine to its inactive metabolite (dFdU) was explored in a representative cell line. In vitro stability and the consequent drug release were evaluated in cell culture medium and human plasma. In vivo pharmacokinetic studies were performed in mice, summarizing the relative stability of the three conjugates and the released levels of gemcitabine in comparison with dFdU. These studies suggest that the fine tuning of the linkage within a peptide-drug conjugate affects the drug release rate and its overall pharmaceutical profile. This could eventually emerge as an intriguing medicinal chemistry approach to optimize bio-profiles of prodrugs.

Precise delivery of a proton plays a key role in O2 activation at iron oxygenases, enabling the crucial O?O cleavage step that generates the oxidizing high-valent metal–oxo species. Such a proton is delivered by acidic residues that may either
Novel bisubstrate uridine-peptide analogues bearing a pyrophosphate bioisostere as inhibitors of human O-GlcNAc transferase

Protein O-linked β-D-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modification (O-GlcNAcylation), an essential post-translational as well as cotranslational modification, is the attachment of β-D-N-acetylglucosamine to serine and threonine residues of nucleocytoplasmic proteins. An aberrant O-GlcNAc profile on certain proteins has been implicated in metabolic diseases such as diabetes and cancer. Inhibitors of O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) are valuable tools to study the cell biology of protein O-GlcNAc modification. In this study we report novel uridine-peptide conjugate molecules composed of an acceptor peptide covalently linked to a catalytically inactive donor substrate analogue that bears a pyrophosphate bioisostere and explore their inhibitory activities against OGT by a radioactive hOGT assay. Further, we investigate the structural basis of their activities via molecular modelling, explaining their lack of potency towards OGT inhibition.

Thiamin hydrochloride promoted highly efficient and ecofriendly approach has been described for the chemoselective N-tert-butyloxycarbonylation of amines under solvent-free conditions at ambient temperature. The demonstrated approach has been applicable for the N-Boc protection of variety of aliphatic, aryl, heteroaryl amines. The chemoselective protection of amino group occurs in chiral amines and amino alcohol without racemization in high yield. Thiamin hydrochloride is stable, economical, easy to handle and environmentally friendly.

The precise control of supramolecular self-assembly is gaining utmost interest for the demanding applications of manifested nano-architecture across the scientific domain. This study delineates the morphological transformation of naphthalene diimide (NDI) derived amphiphiles with varying water content in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and the selective sensing of lipase using its aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties. To this end, NDI-based, benzyl alcohol protected alkyl chain (C1, C5, and C10) linked amphiphilic molecules (NDI-1,2,3) were synthesized. Among the synthesized amphiphiles, benzyl ester linked C5 tailored naphthalene diimide (NDI-2) exhibited AIE with an emission maximum at 490 nm in a DMSO-water binary solvent system fromfw= 30% and above water content. The fibrous morphology ofNDI-2atfw= 30% got gradually transformed to spherical aggregated particles along with steady increment in the emission intensity upon increasing the amount of water in DMSO. Atfw= 99% water in DMSO, complete transformation to fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FONPs) was observed. Microscopic and spectroscopic techniques demonstrated the solvent driven morphological transformation and the AIE property ofNDI-2. Moreover, this AIE ofNDI-2FONPs was employed in the selective turn-off sensing of lipase against many other enzymes including esterase, through hydrolysis of a benzyl ester linkage with a limit of detection 10.0 ± 0.8 μg L?1. TheNDI-2FONP also exhibited its lipase sensing efficiencyin vitrousing a human serum sample.

We report a highly atom-efficient integrated cofactor/co-product recycling cascade employing cycloalkylamines as multifaceted starting materials for the synthesis of nylon building blocks. Reactions using E. coli whole cells as well as purified enzymes produced excellent conversions ranging from >80 and 95 % into desired ω-amino acids, respectively with varying substrate concentrations. The applicability of this tandem biocatalytic cascade was demonstrated to produce the corresponding lactams by employing engineered biocatalysts. For instance, ?-caprolactam, a valuable polymer building block was synthesized with 75 % conversion from 10 mM cyclohexylamine by employing whole-cell biocatalysts. This cascade could be an alternative for bio-based production of ω-amino acids and corresponding lactam compounds.

We have identified a proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) of class I HDACs 1, 2 and 3. The most active degrader consists of a benzamide HDAC inhibitor, an alkyl linker, and the von Hippel-Lindau E3 ligand. Our PROTAC increased histone acetylation levels and compromised colon cancer HCT116 cell viability, establishing a degradation strategy as an alternative to class I HDAC inhibition.
Highly efficient chemoselective N-tert butoxycarbonylation of aliphatic/aromatic/heterocyclic amines using diphenylglycoluril as organocatalyst

, (2020/05/14)
An efficient approach for the Chemoselective N-tert-butoxycarbonylation of a variety of amines using diphenylglycoluril as organocatalyst has been described. For the first time, a plausible mechanism for the N-tert-butoxycarbonylation has been proposed using density functional theory (DFT) calculations supported by NMR studies. The reusability of the organocatalyst and observation of the desired N-Boc protected amines being formed without the formation of side products like urea, oxazolidinone, isocyanate, and N, N-di-Boc derivatives makes the present protocol desirable.
