Boronic acid fluorophore/β-cyclodextrin complex sensors for selective sugar recognition in water

, p. 1530 - 1536 (2001)
A novel boronic acid fluorophore 1/β-cyclodextrin (β-CyD) complex sensor for sugar recognition in water has been designed. The probe 1 bearing pyrene moiety as a fluorescent signal transducer exhibits no fluorescence emission, due to its aggregation in water containing 2% DMSO; however, the addition of β-CyD to this solution largely changes UV-vis and fluorescence spectra of 1 by forming an inclusion complex with β-CyD, and an efficient fluorescence emission response of 1/β-CyD complex upon sugar binding is found to be obtained at pH 7.5. The pH-fluorescence profile of the 1/β-CyD complex reveals that the boronate ester formation with fructose induces the apparent pKa shift from 7.95 ± 0.03 in the absence of fructose to 6.06 ± 0.03 in the presence of 30 mM fructose, resulting in the fluorescence emission response under the neutral condition. The spectral properties of 1 in 95% methanol:5% water (v/v), as well as the fluorescence quenching study of 1-methylpyrene with 4-methoxycarbonylphenyl-boronic acid 2, demonstrate that the response mechanism is based on the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from the pyrene donor to the acid form of phenylboronic acid acceptor in 1, and thus, the proton dissociation of phenylboronic acid induced by sugar binding inhibits the PET system while increasing the fluorescence intensity of the pyrene moiety. To evaluate the binding ability and selectivity of the 1/β-CyD complex for monosaccharides in water, the response equilibria have been derived. The 1:1 binding constants of the 1/β-CyD complex obtained from the equilibrium analysis are in the order: D-fructose (2515 ± 134 M-1) ? L-arabinose (269 ± 28 M-1) > D-galactose (197 ± 28 M-1) > D-glucose (79 ± 33 M-1), which is consistent with the binding selectivity of phenylboronic acid.

A hydroxyl radical-mediated aerobic cleavage of alkenes and further sequence esterification reaction for the preparation of carbonyl compounds have been developed by using tubular carbon nitride (TCN) as a general heterogeneous photocatalyst under an oxygen atmosphere with visible light irradiation. This protocol has an excellent substrate scope and gives the desired aldehydes, ketones and esters in moderate to high yields. Importantly, this metal-free procedure employed photogenerated hydroxyl radicals in situ as green oxidation active species, avoiding the present additional initiators. The reaction could be carried out under solar light irradiation and was applicable to large-scale reactions. Furthermore, the recyclable TCN catalyst could be used several times without a significant loss of activities.

The viral serine protease NS2B-NS3 is one of the promising targets for drug discovery against dengue virus and other flaviviruses. The molecular recognition preferences of the protease favor basic, positively charged moieties as substrates and inhibitors, which leads to pharmacokinetic liabilities and off-target interactions with host proteases such as thrombin. We here present the results of efforts that were aimed specifically at the discovery and development of noncharged, small-molecular inhibitors of the flaviviral proteases. A key factor in the discovery of these compounds was a cellular reporter gene assay for the dengue protease, the DENV2proHeLa system. Extensive structure-activity relationship explorations resulted in novel benzamide derivatives with submicromolar activities in viral replication assays (EC50 0.24 μM), selectivity against off-target proteases, and negligible cytotoxicity. This structural class has increased drug-likeness compared to most of the previously published active-site-directed flaviviral protease inhibitors and includes promising candidates for further preclinical development.
Transition-Metal-Free Borylation of Aryl Bromide Using a Simple Diboron Source
Han, Min Su,Lim, Taeho,Ryoo, Jeong Yup
, p. 10966 - 10972 (2020/09/23)
In this study, we developed a simple transition-metal-free borylation reaction of aryl bromides. Bis-boronic acid (BBA), was used, and the borylation reaction was performed using a simple procedure at a mild temperature. Under mild conditions, aryl bromides were converted to arylboronic acids directly without any deprotection steps and purified by conversion to trifluoroborate salts. The functional group tolerance was considerably high. The mechanism study suggested that this borylation reaction proceeds via a radical pathway.

In this paper, we report the regioselective synthesis of 3,5-disubstituted isoxazoles by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between alkynyl dipolarophiles and nitrile oxide dipoles generated in-situ from O-silylated hydroxamic acids in the presence of trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride and NEt3. Thanks to the mild, metal-free and oxidant-free conditions that this strategy offers, the reaction was successfully applied to a wide variety of alkynyl dipolarophiles, demonstrating the tolerance of this approach to diverse functional groups. In particular, we have shown that the method was compatible with biological molecules such as peptides and peptide nucleic acids (PNA). This protocol constitutes another example of metal-free 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition leading to the regioselective formation of isoxazoles.

A mild aqueous protocol for palladium catalyzed Miyaura borylation of aryl iodides, aryl bromides and aryl chlorides with tetrahydroxydiboron (BBA) as a borylating agent is developed. The developed methodology requires low catalyst loading of Bedford-type palladacycle catalyst (0.05 mol %) and works best under mild reaction conditions at 40 °C in short time of 6 h in water. In addition, our studies show that for Miyaura borylation using BBA in aqueous condition, maintaining a neutral reaction pH is very important for reproducibility and higher yields of corresponding borylated products. Moreover, our protocol is applicable for a broad range of aryl halides, corresponding borylated products are obtained in excellent yields up to 93% with 29 examples demonstrating its broad utility and functional group tolerance.

Spectroscopic and computational investigations of the thermodynamics of boronate ester and diazaborole self-assembly
Goldberg, Alexander R.,Northrop, Brian H.
, p. 969 - 980 (2016/02/18)
The solution phase self-assembly of boronate esters, diazaboroles, oxathiaboroles, and dithiaboroles from the condensation of arylboronic acids with aromatic diol, diamine, hydroxythiol, and dithiol compounds in chloroform has been investigated by 1H NMR spectroscopy and computational methods. Six arylboronic acids were included in the investigations with each boronic acid varying in the substituent at its 4-position. Both computational and experimental results show that the para-substituent of the arylboronic acid does not significantly influence the favorability of forming a condensation product with a given organic donor. The type of donor, however, greatly influences the favorability of self-assembly. 1H NMR spectroscopy indicates that condensation reactions between arylboronic acids and catechol to give boronate esters are the most favored thermodynamically, followed by diazaborole formation. Computational investigations support this conclusion. Neither oxathiaboroles nor dithiaboroles form spontaneously at equilibrium in chloroform at room temperature. Computational results suggest that the effect of borylation on the frontier orbitals of each donor helps to explain differences in the favorability of their condensation reactions with arylboronic acids. The results can inform the use of boronic acids as they are increasingly utilized in the dynamic self-assembly of organic materials and as components in dynamic combinatorial libraries.

The photodynamic therapy of cancer is contingent upon the sustained generation of singlet oxygen in the tumor region. However, tumors of the most metastatic cancer types develop a region of severe hypoxia, which puts them beyond the reach of most therapeutic protocols. More troublesome, photodynamic action generates acute hypoxia as the process itself diminishes cellular oxygen reserves, which makes it a self-limiting method. Herein, we describe a new concept that could eventually lead to a change in the 100 year old paradigm of photodynamic therapy and potentially offer solutions to some of the lingering problems. When gold nanorods with tethered endoperoxides are irradiated at 808 nm, the endoperoxides undergo thermal cycloreversion, resulting in the generation of singlet oxygen. We demonstrate that the amount of singlet oxygen produced in this way is sufficient for triggering apoptosis in cell cultures. EPT sees the light: When gold nanorods with tethered endoperoxides are irradiated with near-infrared light, the endoperoxides undergo thermal cycloreversion, resulting in the generation of singlet oxygen. The amount of singlet oxygen generated by these nanocomposites is sufficient for triggering apoptosis in cell cultures.

The ability to direct the assembly of hexagonal building units offers great prospective to construct the awaited and looked-for hypothetical polybenzene (pbz) or "cubic graphite" structure, described 70 years ago. Here, we demonstrate the successful use of reticular chemistry as an appropriate strategy for the design and deliberate construction of a zirconium-based metal-organic framework (MOF) with the intricate pbz underlying net topology. The judicious selection of the perquisite hexagonal building units, six connected organic and inorganic building blocks, allowed the formation of the pbz-MOF-1, the first example of a Zr(IV)-based MOF with pbz topology. Prominently, pbz-MOF-1 is highly porous, with associated pore size and pore volume of 13 ? and 0.99 cm3 g-1, respectively, and offers high gravimetric and volumetric methane storage capacities (0.23 g g-1 and 210.4 cm3 (STP) cm-3 at 80 bar). Notably, the pbz-MOF-1 pore system permits the attainment of one of the highest CH4 adsorbed phase density enhancements at high pressures (0.15 and 0.21 g cm-3 at 35 and 65 bar, respectively) as compared to benchmark microporous MOFs.
