Upconverted photosensitization of Tb visible emission by NIR Yb excitation in discrete supramolecular heteropolynuclear complexes

Addition of Tb3+ salts to a solution of a (YbLD) complex in D2O resulted in the formation of [(YbLD)2Tbx] (x = 1 to 3) complexes that, upon NIR excitation at 980 nm, showed an unprecedented Yb to Tb upconversion sensitization phenomenon resulting in the observation of the typical green emission of Tb.

N-Benzyl and N-aryl bis(phospha-Mannich adducts): Synthesis and catalytic activity of the related bidentate chelate platinum complexes in hydroformylation

The microwave-assisted double Kabachnik-Fields (phospha-Mannich) reaction of benzylamine and arylamines, two equivalents of paraformaldehyde and the P(O)H reagent, such as dialkyl phosphites, ethyl phenyl-H-phosphinate and diphenylphosphine oxide gave the bis(P(O)CH2)amine derivatives in good yields. The bis(diphenylphosphinoxido) derivatives were converted to the corresponding ring platinum complexes after deoxygenation whose catalytic activity was tested in the hydroformylation of styrene. Crystal structure analysis of one of the complexes reveals interesting correlations between complex structure and solvent inclusion.

Iminodipropionic Acid as the Leaving Group for DNA Polymerization by HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase

Previous studies have demonstrated that some selected amino monoacids and amino diacids can function as leaving groups in the polymerase-catalyzed incorporation of deoxynucleotides into DNA. Among these, the iminodiacetic acid phosphoramidate of deoxyadenosine monophosphate (IDA-dAMP) represents an interesting example, as it could overcome some of the problems observed when using L-aspartic acid as the leaving group, that is, poor chain elongation. We have now synthesized and evaluated a series of IDA-dAMP analogues that bear either an extended aliphatic chain in the amino acid function, or a phosphonic acid moiety (substituting for the carboxylic acid function). Among these compounds, the nucleotide with an iminodipropionic acid leaving group (IDP-dAMP) was identified as the best substrate; the excellent single incorporation (91% conversion to a P+1 strand at 50 μM) was at a substrate concentration ten times lower than that used for IDA-dAMP). This nucleotide also presented improved kinetics and elongation capability compared to IDA-dAMP. The analogues with T, G, and C base moieties were also investigated for their incorporation ability with HIV-1 RT. The incorporation efficiency was found to decrease in the order A>T>G>C. The properties of the iminodipropionic acid as the leaving group surpass those of previously evaluated leaving groups; this acid will be a prime candidate for in vivo testing.

Synthesis of bis- and tris-organophosphorus substituted amines and amino acids with PCH2N Fragments

The aminomethylation of the derivatives of trivalent organophosphorus acids, containing PH and POSiMe3 fragments with various bis- and tris(alkoxymethyl)amines and bis(alkoxymethyl)amino acids, is proposed as a convenient method for the synthesis of new bis- and trisphosphorylated amines and amino acids as well as their derivatives with four and five coordinated phosphorus. Also the three-components systems of phosphorous acid, paraformaldehyde, and amines are thoroughly investigated via the treatment of reaction mixtures with bis(trimethylsilyl)amine.

Non-covalent conjugates between cationic polyamino acids and Gd(III) chelates: A route for seeking accumulation of MRI-contrast agents at tumor targeting sites

Three novel Gd chelates containing on their external surface pendant phosphonate and carboxylate groups, which promote the interaction with the positively charged groups of polyornithine and polyarginine, have been synthesized. Their solution structures have been assessed on the basis of 1H- and 31P-NMR spectra of the Eu and Yb analogues. A thorough investigation of the relaxometric (1H and 17O) properties of the Gd chelates has been carried out and the observed relaxivities have been accounted for the sum of three contributions arising from water molecules in the first, second, and outer coordination layers, respectively. It has been found that the occurrence of a tight second coordination coating renders the dissociation of the water molecule directly coordinated to the Gd ion more difficult. The binding interactions between the negatively charged Gd chelates and the positively charged groups of polyornithine (ca. 140 residues) and polyarginine (ca. 204 residues) have been evaluated by means of the proton relaxation enhancement (PRE) method. Although the binding interaction decreases markedly in the presence of competitive anions in the solution medium, the affinity is strong enough that in blood serum it is possible to meet the conditions where most of the chelate is bound to the polyamino acid substrate. On this basis one may envisage a novel route for a MRI location of tumors as it is known that positively charged polyamino acids selectively bind to tumors having a greater negative charge than non-tumor cells.
