A new series of 13-pyridinealkyl berberine analogues was synthesized and their DNA binding efficacy studied by employing spectroscopic, calorimetric and molecular modeling techniques. Analogues with more than one CH2 group showed better intercalative binding than berberine. The analogue with one CH2 group bound DNA weaker than berberine. The binding of the analogue with single CH2 group was entropy driven, while those with more than one CH2 group was favoured by both entropy and enthalpy changes. Higher salt concentration and temperature destabilized the binding. A larger contribution from non-polyelectrolytic forces to the Gibbs energy and the involvement of strong hydrophobic interactions were inferred. Molecular modeling pin pointed the specific binding site and the non-covalent interactions in the association. The best DNA binding analogue (BER5) inhibited the growth of hepatocellular and breast carcinoma most efficiently. It induced apoptosis in HepG2 and MCF-7 cells with externalization of phosphatidylserine and reactive oxygen species generation with accumulation of cells in the G0/G1 phase. Furthermore, up regulation of p53 and p21 indicated the role of p53 in BER5 mediated apoptosis. The results suggested that 13-pyridinealkyl berberine analogues intercalated to DNA much stronger than berberine, the chain length of the linker plays an important role for the binding, and they induced ROS mediated apoptosis in HepG2 and MCF-7 cells by p53 modulation.

A series of 2-amino-5-arylmethyl- or 5-heteroarylmethyl-1,3-thiazole derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for BK channel-opening activities in cell-based fluorescence assay and electrophysiological recording. The assay results indicated that the activities of the investigated compounds were influenced by the physicochemical properties of the substituent at benzene ring.

An unprecedented, chemo- and regioselective, organo-photoredox catalyzed hydroformylation reaction of aryl olefins with diethoxyacetic acid as the formylation reagent is described. In contrast to traditional transition metal promoted ionic hydroformylation reactions, the new process follows a unique photoredox promoted, free radical pathway. In this process, a formyl radical equivalent, produced from diethoxacetic acid through a dye (4CzIPN) photocatalyzed, sequential oxidation-decarboxylation route, regio- and chemoselectively adds to a styrene substrate. Importantly, under the optimized reaction conditions the benzylic radical formed in this manner is reduced by SET from the anion radical of 4CzIPN to generate a benzylic anion. Finally, protonation produces the hydroformylation product. By using the new protocol, aldehydes can be generated regioselectively in up to 90% yield. A broad array of functional groups is tolerated in the process, which takes place under mild, metal-free conditions.
