Demonstrating Ligandability of the LC3A and LC3B Adapter Interface

Autophagy is the common name for a number of lysosome-based degradation pathways of cytosolic cargos. The key components of autophagy are members of Atg8 family proteins involved in almost all steps of the process, from autophagosome formation to their selective fusion with lysosomes. In this study, we show that the homologous members of the human Atg8 family proteins, LC3A and LC3B, are druggable by a small molecule inhibitor novobiocin. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of the 4-hydroxy coumarin core scaffold were performed, supported by a crystal structure of the LC3A dihydronovobiocin complex. The study reports the first nonpeptide inhibitors for these protein interaction targets and will lay the foundation for the development of more potent chemical probes for the Atg8 protein family which may also find applications for the development of autophagy-mediated degraders (AUTACs).

Inclusion complex containing epoxy resin composition for semiconductor encapsulation

The invention is an epoxy resin composition for sealing a semiconductor, including (A) an epoxy resin and (B) a clathrate complex. The clathrate complex is one of (b1) an aromatic carboxylic acid compound, and (b2) at least one imidazole compound represented by formula (II): wherein R2 represents a hydrogen atom, C1-C10 alkyl group, phenyl group, benzyl group or cyanoethyl group, and R3 to R5 represent a hydrogen atom, nitro group, halogen atom, C1-C20 alkyl group, phenyl group, benzyl group, hydroxymethyl group or C1-C20 acyl group. The composition has improved storage stability, retains flowability when sealing, and achieves an effective curing rate applicable for sealing delicate semiconductors.
