The stabilisation and control of synclinic and anticlinic chiral liquid crystalline phases remain an actual and highlighted task. This work presents the design and mesomorphic properties of new chiral calamitic reactive mesogens, monoacrylates, based on biphenyl benzoate and phenyl biphenyl-4-carboxylate cores with reactive terminal groups placed far from the chiral chain. The compound's structures, compatible with the components of modern ferroelectric and antiferroelectric liquid crystalline mixtures, are confirmed by mass spectrometry (electron ionization) analysis and proton/carbon nuclear magnetic resonance. All the reactive mesogens possess the self-assembling, i.e. liquid crystalline behaviour with high tendency to create smectic phases in a broad temperature range, which was confirmed by a polarizing optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and broad-band dielectric spectroscopy. Doping of advanced multicomponent mixtures possessing the chiral smectic phases by the designed monoacrylates with further cross-linking procedure, can be an effective and functional tool for stabilising ferroelectric and antiferroelectric phases in various states and hence, can allow the symmetrisation of the switching times in the modes employed surface stabilised geometry; this is a very highlighted task for optoelectronics. Moreover, an evident considerable tendency for thermal polymerisation of specific reactive mesogens can reduce the drawbacks of polymer stabilisation.

We recently described the discovery of oxygenated N-alkyl deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) derivative 7 (CM-10-18) with antiviral activity against dengue virus (DENV) infection both in vitro and in vivo. This imino sugar was promising but had an EC50 against DENV in BHK cells of 6.5 μM, which limited its use in in vivo. Compound 7 presented structural opportunities for activity relationship analysis, which we exploited and report here. These structure-activity relationship studies led to analogues 2h, 2l, 3j, 3l, 3v, and 4b-4c with nanomolar antiviral activity (EC50 = 0.3-0.5 μM) against DENV infection, while maintaining low cytotoxicity (CC50 > 500 μM, SI > 1000). In male Sprague-Dawley rats, compound 3l was well tolerated at a dose up to 200 mg/kg and displayed desirable PK profiles, with significantly improved bioavailability (F = 92 α 4%).

Surgical reduction: N-Heterocyclic carbene-borane complexes such as depicted are neutral, organic soluble analogues of borohydride anions with a weak hydridic character, compatible with organometallic catalysis. They are applicable for surgical reductions in complex, multifunctional molecules.

Straight chain compounds having a phenylisoserine unit and an oxetane ring at the α- and ω- position, respectively as extremely simplified analogues of taxol were prepared. None of these compounds showed promising tubulin inhibitory activity.

Cylindrical cryptands 2a-c, in which two 1,7-dioxa-4,10-diazacyclododecane rings are connected by two equally substituted propylene bridges, have been obtained in appreciable yields by a ''one-pot'' synthesis.The assembling of the macrotricyclic structure is likely driven by the template effect of metal cations.These compounds, both as free receptors or as complexes, exist as cis and trans diastereoisomers, which do not interconvert and have been separated and characterized by X-ray analysis.The extraction constants (Ke) of cryptands 2 for alkali picrates under CHCl3/H2O and solid/liquid two-phase conditions have been measured by UV-vis spectrophotometry.The complexation behavior of cryptands 2 has been rationalized analyzing the preorganization of binding sites in the minimum energy conformations obtained by molecular mechanics calculations.Minimum energy conformations have been calculated also for the previously reported cryptands 1 and have been compared with those of 2.Results fit reasonably well with those of X-ray structures.
