Dendritic mixed-valence dinuclear ruthenium complexes for optical attenuation at telecommunication wavelengths

Novel dendritic mixed-valence dinuclear ruthenium complexes were prepared and chemically cross-linked to form thin films on ITO electrodes. The cross-linked films exhibited an excellent electrochromism in the near-infrared (NIR) region and optical attenua

Development of water-soluble 3,5-dinitrophenyl tetrazole and oxadiazole antitubercular agents

In this work, four series of tertiary amine-containing derivatives of 3,5-dinitrophenyl tetrazole and oxadiazole antitubercular agents were prepared, and their in vitro antimycobacterial effects were evaluated. We found that the studied compounds showed l

Functionalization of hyaluronic acid with chemoselective groups via a disulfide-based protection strategy for in situ formation of mechanically stable hydrogels

Functionalization of hyaluronic acid (HA) with chemoselective groups enables in situ (in vivo) formation of HA-based materials in minimally invasive injectable manner. Current methods of HA modification with such groups primarily rely on the use of a large excess of a reagent to introduce a unique reactive handle into HA and, therefore, are difficult to control. We have developed the new protective group strategy based on initial mild cleavage of a disulfide bond followed by elimination of the generated 2-thioethoxycarbonyl moiety ultimately affording free amine-type functionality, such as hydrazide, aminooxy, and carbazate. Specifically, new modifying homobifunctional reagents have been synthesized that contain a new divalent disulfide-based protecting group. Amidation of HA with these reagents gives rise to either one-end coupling product or to intra/intermolecular cross-linking of the HA chains. However, after subsequent treatment of the amidation reaction mixture with dithiothreitol (DTT), these cross-linkages are cleaved, ultimately exposing free amine-type groups. The same methodology was applied to graft serine residues to the HA backbone, which were subsequently oxidized into aldehyde groups. The strategy therefore encompasses a new approach for mild and highly controlled functionalization of HA with both nucleophilic and electrophilic chemoselective functionalities with the emphasis for the subsequent conjugation and in situ cross-linking. A series of new hydrogel materials were prepared by mixing the new HA-aldehyde derivative with different HA-nucleophile counterparts. Rheological properties of the formed hydrogels were determined and related to the structural characteristics of the gel networks. Human dermal fibroblasts remained viable while cultured with the hydrogels for 3 days, with no sign of cytotoxicity, suggesting that the gels described in this study are candidates for use as growth factors delivery vehicles for tissue engineering applications.

Discovery of a flexible triazolylbutanoic acid as a highly potent uric acid transporter 1 (URAT1) inhibitor

In order to systematically explore and understand the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of a lesinurad-based hit (1c) derived from the replacement of the S atom in lesinurad with CH2, 18 compounds (1a-1r) were designed, synthesized and subjected to in vitro URAT1 inhibitory assay. The SAR exploration led to the discovery of a highly potent flexible URAT1 inhibitor, 1q, which was 31-fold more potent than parent lesinurad (IC50 = 0.23 μM against human URAT1 for 1q vs. 7.18 μM for lesinurad). The present study discovered a flexible molecular scaffold, as represented by 1q, which might serve as a promising prototype scaffold for further development of potent URAT1 inhibitors, and also demonstrated that the S atom in lesinurad was not indispensable for its URAT1 inhibitory activity.

Modular approach to functional hyaluronic acid hydrogels using orthogonal chemical reactions

A modular approach for the synthesis of hyaluronic acid hydrogels using orthogonal chemoselective reactions for subsequent enzymatic decomposition to nanoparticles is described.

A novel versatile phosphoramidite building block for the synthesis of 5′- and 3′-hydrazide modified oligonucleotides

We introduce a novel versatile phosphoramidite building block for the modification of oligonucleotides (ONs) with acyl hydrazides on the 5′- or 3′-terminus, or both. The reaction of these hydrazide functionalized ONs with 4-methoxyphenylaldehyde is demons
