The multistep synthesis of a versatile new 4-substituted 3,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole (Rdpt) ligand, 4-[4-(2-aminomethyl)phenyl]-3,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-4 H-1,2,4-triazole (apdpt), is reported, which features a reactive aminomethyl para-substituent on the phenyl group that points “out of the back” of the triazole. This enables further functionalisation under mild conditions by using a range of esters to form an amide link. Specifically, this proof of principle study demonstrates the synthesis of apdpt successfully appended with gold-binding thioctic acid (tpdpt), graphene-binding/emissive pyrene/propylpyrene (prdpt/pbdpt), and a Langmuir–Blodgett film-forming polyethylene glycol (PEG) tail (pgdpt). These ligands are subsequently reacted with [Fe(pyridine)4(NCBH3)2] to give the mononuclear iron(II) complexes [Fe(Rdpt)2(NCBH3)2]?solvent, in which Rdpt/solvent is tpdpt/2.5 H2O (1), prdpt/0.5 CHCl3?H2O (2), and pbdpt/0.5 CHCl3?2 H2O (3), as red powders. Magnetic studies on these powders indicate that the complexes undergo only very gradual and incomplete spin crossover, from completely or mostly high spin at 300 K, to half or three-quarters high spin at 50 K. Gold nanoparticles are successfully functionalised with the thioctic acid tpdpt ligand to give tpdpt@Au with an average diameter (as determined by TEM) of (3.1±0.7) nm. Preliminary studies on the two pyrene systems in dimethylformamide show that upon excitation at λ=345 nm the blue fluorescence observed for the free ligands is retained, essentially unaffected, in the respective complexes.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are very promising as carriers for the delivery of bioactive molecules. The multifunctionalization of CNTs is necessary to impart multimodalities for the development of future CNT-based multipotent therapeutic constructs. In this context, we report the first example of covalent trifunctionalization of different types of CNTs. Our strategy is a simple and efficient methodology based on the simultaneous functionalization of the nanotube surface with three different active groups. The reaction is performed in one step by arylation with diazonium salts generated in situ. The CNTs are functionalized with benzylamine moieties blocked with three different protecting groups that can be selectively removed under specific conditions. The trifunctionalized CNTs were characterized by TEM, thermogravimetric analysis, and Raman and UV/Vis/NIR spectroscopy, while the amine loading was determined by using the Kaiser test. The sequential removal of the protecting groups of the amine functions allows the grafting of the molecules of interest on the nanotube surface to be con-trolled

Graphene has been covalently functionalized through a one-pot reductive pathway using graphite intercalation compounds (GICs), in particular KC8, with three different orthogonally protected derivatives of 4-aminobenzylamine. This novel multifunctional platform exhibits excellent bulk functionalization homogeneity (Hbulk) and degree of addition while preserving the chemical functionalities of the organic addends through different protecting groups, namely: tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc), benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz) and phthalimide (Pht). We have employed (temperature-dependent) statistical Raman spectroscopy (SRS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), magic angle spinning solid state 13C NMR (MAS-NMR), and a characterization tool consisting of thermogravimetric analysis coupled with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (TG-GC-MS) to unambiguously demonstrate the covalent binding and the chemical nature of the different molecular linkers. This work paves the way for the development of smart graphene-based materials of great interest in biomedicine or electronics, to name a few, and will serve as a guide in the design of new 2D multifunctional materials.

Photo-responsive synthetic ion transporters are of interest as tools for studying transmembrane transport processes and have potential applications as targeted therapeutics, due to the possibility of spatiotemporal control and wavelength-dependent function. Here we report the synthesis of novel symmetric and non-symmetric red-shifted tetra-ortho-chloro- and tetra-ortho-fluoro azobenzenes, bearing pendant amine functionality. Functionalisation of the photo-switchable scaffolds with squaramide hydrogen bond donors enabled the preparation of a family of anion receptors, which act as photo-regulated transmembrane chloride transporters in response to green or red light. The subtle effects of chlorine/fluorine substitution,meta/parapositioning of the anion receptors, and the use of more flexible linkers are explored. NMR titration experiments on the structurally diverse photo-switchable receptors reveal cooperative binding of chloride in theZ, but notEisomer, by the two squaramide binding sites. These results are supported by molecular dynamics simulations in explicit solvent and model membranes. We show that this intramolecular anion recognition leads to effective switching of transport activity in lipid bilayer membranes, in which optimalZisomer activity is achieved using a combination of fluorine substitution andpara-methylene spacer units.

Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibitors are effective in reducing blood pressure, inflammation, and pain in a number of mammalian disease models. As most classical urea-based sEH inhibitors suffer from poor solubility and pharmacokinetic properties, the development of novel sEH inhibitors with an improved pharmacokinetic specification has received a great deal of attention. In this study, a series of amide-based sEH inhibitors bearing a phthalimide ring as the novel secondary pharmacophore (P2) was designed, synthesized, and evaluated. Docking results illustrated that the amide group as the primary pharmacophore (P1) was placed at a suitable distance from the three key amino acids (Tyr383, Tyr466, and Asp335) for an effective hydrogen bonding. In agreement with these findings, most of the newly synthesized compounds demonstrated moderate?to?high sEH inhibitory activities, relative to 12-(3-adamantan-1-yl-ureido)dodecanoic acid as the reference standard. Compound 12e with a 4-methoxybenzoyl substituent exhibited the highest sEH inhibitory activity, with an IC50 value of 1.06 nM. Moreover, the ADME properties of the compounds were evaluated in silico, and the results revealed appropriate predictions.

Mutated or amplified Her2 serves as a driver of non-small cell lung cancer or mediates resistance toward the inhibition of its family member epidermal growth factor receptor with small-molecule inhibitors. To date, small-molecule inhibitors targeting Her2 which can be used in clinical routine are lacking, and therefore, the development of novel inhibitors was undertaken. In this study, the well-established pyrrolopyrimidine scaffold was modified with structural motifs identified from a screening campaign with more than 1600 compounds, which were applied against wild-type Her2 and its mutant variant Her2-A775_G776insYVMA. The resulting inhibitors were designed to covalently target a reactive cysteine in the binding site of Her2 and were further optimized by means of structure-based drug design utilizing a set of obtained complex crystal structures. In addition, the analysis of binding kinetics and absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion parameters as well as mass spectrometry experiments and western blot analysis substantiated our approach.

Various acidic anhydrides including cantharidin were converted into corresponding aminobenzylcantharidinimide 3a and analogous imides 3b～k (at the ortho, meta, and para positions) with 35%～87% yields by reacting with aminobenzylamines and triethylamine. The two methyl side chains of cantharidinimides 3ao, 3am, and 3ap, and related imides had more than two chiral centers; the lone pair of electrons of nitrogen displayed a different chemical shift and coupling constant in H-NMR spectra when the amino group of benzylamine was in the ortho position. These cantharidinimides had parent aniline, pyridine, and naphthalene plane structures, and the primary amine nucleophilicity and basicity might reflect the inductive electron's negative effect on chemical shifts. We prepared cantharidinimides by heating the reactants cantharidin 1a, aliphatic and aromatic acid anhydrides, primary benzylic amines, and aniline derivatives to ca. 200 °C with 3 mL of dry toluene, and 1～2 mL of triethylamine in high-pressure sealed tubes (Buchi glasuster 0032) to produce cantharidinimides and their analogues in good yields. The para-aminobenzylic imides showed greater inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) synthesis by NO synthase (NOS) than did ortho- and meta-aminobenzylic imides. Compound 3fp, para-aminobenzylic norbonane-imide, had the most potent effect on inducible NOS among the tested compounds and showed 35% inhibition. Cantharidinimides and their analogue were prepared by heating the reactants cantharidin, aliphatic, aromatic acid anhydrides, and primary benzyl amines, aniline derivatives with 3 mL of dry toluene, and 1-2 mL of triethylamine in high-pressure sealed tube at 200 oC in good yields. The para-aminobenzylic imides showed greater inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) synthesis by NO synthase (NOS) than that of ortho- and meta-aminobenzylic imides did.

A proposed overlap between cyclic hexapeptide Bradykinin antagonists and nonpeptide Bradykinin antagonists is discussed. Structural variations on both the peptides and nonpeptides support the proposed overlap based on an increase or decrease in the biological activities of the antagonists.
