Effective removal of calcium and magnesium sulfates from wastewater in the rare earth industry

The wastewater discharged from the rare earth (RE) industry generally contains a high level of calcium and magnesium sulfates, which confers permanent hardness and causes difficulties in recycling this wastewater. In this study, the alkyl phenoxy acetic acid derivatives including 4-methyl phenoxy acetic acid (M-POAA), 4-tert-butyl phenoxy acetic acid (B-POAA) and 4-tert-octyl phenoxy acetic acid (O-POAA), were synthesized via the Williamson reaction and characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared (IR), and ultra-violet (UV) spectroscopy, as well as elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Synthesis of the POAAs were simple and green, and the raw materials used for their production are widely available and low-cost. The potential for removal of Ca and Mg sulfates from industrial wastewater using POAAs as the organic precipitants was assessed. The total precipitation efficiencies of Ca and Mg from wastewater with the use of POAAs increased with the following order: M-POAA -1, respectively. The O-POAA could be regenerated five times without any significant change in its structure and precipitation performance. Thus, the use of the novel precipitants is a prospective alternative to the conventional processes for softening wastewater.

Methyl 3-(3-(4-(2,4,4-Trimethylpentan-2-yl)phenoxy)-propanamido)benzoate as a Novel and Dual Malate Dehydrogenase (MDH) 1/2 Inhibitor Targeting Cancer Metabolism

Previously, we reported a hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1 inhibitor LW6 containing an (aryloxyacetylamino)benzoic acid moiety inhibits malate dehydrogenase 2 (MDH2) using a chemical biology approach. Structure-activity relationship studies on a series of (aryloxyacetylamino)benzoic acids identified selective MDH1, MDH2, and dual inhibitors, which were used to study the relationship between MDH enzyme activity and HIF-1 inhibition. We hypothesized that dual inhibition of MDH1 and MDH2 might be a powerful approach to target cancer metabolism and selected methyl-3-(3-(4-(2,4,4-trimethylpentan-2-yl)phenoxy)propanamido)-benzoate (16c) as the most potent dual inhibitor. Kinetic studies revealed that compound 16c competitively inhibited MDH1 and MDH2. Compound 16c inhibited mitochondrial respiration and hypoxia-induced HIF-1α accumulation. In xenograft assays using HCT116 cells, compound 16c demonstrated significant in vivo antitumor efficacy. This finding provides concrete evidence that inhibition of both MDH1 and MDH2 may provide a valuable platform for developing novel therapeutics that target cancer metabolism and tumor growth.

Synthesis, structure and coordination properties of novel bifunctional carboxylic derivatives of 1,3-alternate tetrathiacalix[4]arene

New bifunctional derivatives of 1,3-alternate tetrathiacalix[4]arene decorated with carboxylic, ester, hydrazide and/or hydrazone groups have been synthesized with good yields using the tetrathiacalix[4]arene derivatives with incorporated pairs of carboxylic and ester groups as versatile building blocks. The structural peculiarities of the obtained bifunctional compounds have been investigated by means of X-ray analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy. The recognition ability of the synthesized macrocycles towards some alkali, alkali-earth and transition metal ions has been investigated applying a solvent extraction method. The results showed that the structure of a calix[4]arene platform as well as the nature of functional substitutes located on opposite sides of the macrocycle are critical for the coordination properties of the synthesized compounds.

Finding new elicitors that induce resistance in rice to the white-backed planthopper Sogatella furcifera

Herein we report a new way to identify chemical elicitors that induce resistance in rice to herbivores. Using this method, by quantifying the induction of chemicals for GUS activity in a specific screening system that we established previously, 5 candidate elicitors were selected from the 29 designed and synthesized phenoxyalkanoic acid derivatives. Bioassays confirmed that these candidate elicitors could induce plant defense and then repel feeding of white-backed planthopper Sogatella furcifera.

Catalyst-free photoredox addition-cyclisations: Exploitation of natural synergy between aryl acetic acids and maleimide

Suitably functionalised carboxylic acids undergo a previously unknown photoredox reaction when irradiated with UVA in the presence of maleimide. Maleimide was found to synergistically act as a radical generating photoxidant and as a radical acceptor, negating the need for an extrinsic photoredox catalyst. Modest to excellent yields of the product chromenopyrroledione, thiochromenopyrroledione and pyrroloquinolinedione derivatives were obtained in thirteen preparative photolyses. In situ NMR spectroscopy was used to study each reaction. Reactant decay and product build-up were monitored, enabling reaction profiles to be plotted. A plausible mechanism, whereby photo-excited maleimide acts as an oxidant to generate a radical ion pair, has been postulated and is supported by UV/Vis. spectroscopy and DFT computations. The radical-cation reactive intermediates were also characterised in solution by EPR spectroscopy. UVA photolyses of aryloxy-, arylthio- and arylamino-acetic acids with maleimide yield oxa-, thia- and aza-tricyclo pyrroledione derivatives in the absence of a photoredox catalyst (see scheme). An intriguing mechanism has been proposed and has been supported and supplemented by NMR monitoring experiments, DFT computations and UV/Vis and EPR spectroscopy.

Direct C-F bond formation using photoredox catalysis

We have developed the first example of a photoredox catalytic method for the formation of carbon-fluorine (C-F) bonds. The mechanism has been studied using transient absorption spectroscopy and involves a key single-electron transfer from the 3MLCT (triplet metal-to-ligand charge transfer) state of Ru(bpy)32+ to Selectfluor. Not only does this represent a new reaction for photoredox catalysis, but the mild reaction conditions and use of visible light also make it a practical improvement over previously developed UV-mediated decarboxylative fluorinations.

Discovery of potent transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 antagonists: Design and synthesis of phenoxyacetamide derivatives

We aimed to discover a novel type of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) antagonist because such antagonists are possible drug candidates for treating various disorders. We modified the structure of hit compound 7 (human TRPV1 IC50 = 411 nM) and converted its pyrrolidino group to a (hydroxyethyl)methylamino group, which substantially improved inhibitory activity (15d; human TRPV1 IC50 = 33 nM). In addition, 15d ameliorated bladder overactivity in rats in vivo.

Oxadiazole-isopropylamides as potent and noncovalent proteasome inhibitors

Screening of the 50 000 ChemBridge compound library led to the identification of the oxadiazole-isopropylamide 1 (PI-1833) which inhibited chymotrypsin-like (CT-L) activity (IC50 = 0.60 μM) with little effects on the other two major proteasome proteolytic activities, trypsin-like (T-L) and postglutamyl-peptide-hydrolysis-like (PGPH-L). LC-MS/MS and dialysis show that 1 is a noncovalent and rapidly reversible CT-L inhibitor. Focused library synthesis provided 11ad (PI-1840) with CT-L activity (IC50 = 27 nM). Detailed SAR studies indicate that the amide moiety and the two phenyl rings are sensitive toward modifications. Hydrophobic residues, such as propyl or butyl in the para position (not ortho or meta) of the A-ring and a m-pyridyl group as B-ring, significantly improve activity. Compound 11ad (IC50 = 0.37 μM) is more potent than 1 (IC50 = 3.5 μM) at inhibiting CT-L activity in intact MDA-MB-468 human breast cancer cells and inhibiting their survival. The activity of 11ad warrants further preclinical investigation of this class as noncovalent proteasome inhibitors.

Highly selective and efficient extraction of two Pb2+ ions with a p-tert-butylcalix[6]arene hexacarboxylic acid ligand: An allosteric effect in extraction

Solvent extraction behavior of p-tert-butylcalix[6]arene hexacarboxylic acid towards Pb2+ and other divalent transition metal ions has been studied to investigate the selectivity, extraction mechanism, stoichiometry of complexation and composition of the complex in the organic phase. Extractability and selectivity of the cyclic ligand were analyzed in comparison with the acyclic analog. The macrocyclic effect was genuinely operative and the size-match effect was the governing factor for cation selectivity. Accordingly, the cyclic ligand selectively extracted the Pb2+ ion in a pH range fairly more acidic than the acyclic ligand. The cations were extracted by ion exchange mechanism, and the electroneutral complexes were resulted by the exchange of two protons for a divalent cation. A molecule of p-tert-butyl calix[6]arene hexacarboxylic acid ligand extracted two Pb2+ ions. One Pb2+ was extracted due to the size-fit effect inside the hydrophilic cavity of calix[6]arene composed by phenoxy and carbonyl oxygen atoms. The macrocyclic ring inversion was obstructed due to guest encapsulation, and the encapsulated Pb2+ ion acted as a template for aggregation of the carboxyl groups. This binding event caused a positive allosteric effect and led to the extraction of the second Pb2+ ion at the aggregated functional group site.
