Photoswitching storage of guest molecules in metal-organic framework for photoswitchable catalysis: Exceptional product, ultrahigh photocontrol, and photomodulated size selectivity

MOF materials, as new catalysts, show high catalytic activity and size-, regio-, and stereo-selectivity. However, artificially controlling their catalytic process by convenient external stimulus such as light is still unexploited. Such photocontrol over an organic reaction may enable switchable catalytic activities and/or selectivities, consequently producing desired products from a pool of building blocks according to the order and type of stimuli applied. In this study, we present a novel MOF catalyst, which not only offers ultrahigh photocontrol with the on/off ratio as high as 407, but also displays disparate photomodulation in reaction kinetics towards various aldehyde substrates in light of their sizes, thus creating the first example of MOFs showing photoswitchable catalysis. The origin, as unveiled by photoswitching adsorption experiments and density functional theory calculations, is due to photoswitching storage of guest molecules in the metal-organic framework (MOF).

Development of Novel Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier Inhibitors to Treat Hair Loss

Herein, we report the synthesis and evaluation of novel analogues of UK-5099 both in vitro and in vivo for the development of mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) inhibitors to treat hair loss. A comprehensive understanding of the structure-activity relationship was obtained by varying four positions of the hit compound, namely, the alkyl group on the N1 position, substituents on the indole core, various aromatic and heteroaromatic core structures, and various Michael acceptors. The major discovery was that the inhibitors with a 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl group at the N1 position were shown to have much better activity than JXL001 (UK-5099) to increase cellular lactate production. Additionally, analogue JXL069, possessing a 7-azaindole heterocycle, was also shown to have significant MPC inhibition activity, which further increases the chemical space for drug design. Finally, more than 10 analogues were tested on shaved mice by topical treatment and promoted obvious hair growth on mice.

Fine tuning of catalytic and sorption properties of metal-organic frameworks via in situ ligand exchange

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are gaining considerable attention not only because of their diverse structures but also due to their interesting properties and potential applications. However, fabrication of MOFs with desired structures and properties re

Aqueous DABCO, an efficient medium for rapid organocatalyzed Knoevenagel condensation and the Gewald reaction

In the presence of water and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, several aldehydes and cyclic ketones underwent efficient Knoevenagel condensation with malononitrile and ethyl cyanoacetate to produce the respective α.β-unsaturated systems within fairly short time periods. As a result, high yields of conjugated products were easily obtained. Products could be engaged in a Gewald reaction, either stepwise or in situ, to produce efficiently their respective 2-aminothiophenes within 4-7 h. TUeBITAK.
