The construction of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) switches with multiple switchable emission states and high dissymmetry factors (glum) has attracted increasing attention due to their broad applications in diverse fields such as the development of smart devices and sensors. Herein, a new family of AIE-active chiral [3]rotaxanes were designed and synthesized, from which a novel CPL switching system was successfully constructed. The switching process was realized through the controlled motions of the chiral pillar[5]arene macrocycles along the axle through the addition or removal of the acetate anions, which not only modulated the chirality information transfer but also tuned the aggregations of the integrated [3]rotaxanes, thus resulting in reversible transformations between two emission states with both high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) and high dissymmetry factors (glum) values.

The first monomers containing both phosphonate and bisphosphonate (M1) or phosphonic and bisphosphonic acid (M2) functionalities are synthesized, aiming to improve binding abilities of self-etching adhesive systems and composites: An amine having both phosphonate and bisphosphonate functionalities is prepared via Michael addition reaction between diethyl (6-aminohexyl)phosphonate and tetraethyl vinylidene bisphosphonate, its reaction with 2-isocyanatoethyl methacrylate gives M1 which is converted to M2 by selective dealkylation of the phosphonate/bisphosphonate ester groups. Their copolymerization with commercial dental monomers (bisphenol A glycidyl methacrylate, triethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) investigated by photo-differential scanning calorimetry shows adequate photopolymerization rate and conversion. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses of M2-treated hydroxyapatite particles show formation of stable M2-calcium salts. These monomers are assessed to be not toxic according to MTT standards by in vitro cytotoxicity studies with NIH 3T3, U2OS, and Saos-2 cells. All these properties make these monomers potential candidates as biocompatible components for dental adhesives and composites.

In the pharmacotherapy of schizophrenia, there is a lack of effective drugs, and currently used agents cause a large number of side effects. The D2, 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A receptors are among the most important receptor targets in the treatment of schizophrenia, but antagonism at 5-HT6 and 5-HT7 receptors may bring about additional improvement of cognitive functions. However, doubt exists regarding the importance of 5-HT7R in the pharmacotherapy. In 2010, lurasidone (with high affinity for D2, D3, 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, 5-HT7 receptors) was approved for the treatment of schizophrenia. Due to the efficacy of the mentioned drug and doubts related to the role of 5-HT7R, we decided to obtain compounds with an activity profile similar to that of lurasidone, but with the reduced affinity for 5-HT7R and increased affinity for 5-HT6R. For this purpose, we chose a flexible hexyl derivative of lurasidone (2-(6-(4-(benzo[d]isothiazol-3-yl)piperazin-1-yl)hexyl)hexahydro-1H-4,7-methanoisoindole-1,3(2H)-dione 1a) as a hit structure. After molecular modeling, we modified it, in the area of the arylpiperazine and imide group, using the moieties found in other known CNS drugs. We received the compounds in accordance with the previously developed method of ecological synthesis in the microwave radiation field. Among the obtained compounds, N-(6-(4-(benzo[d]isothiazol-3-yl)piperazin-1-yl)hexyl)naphthalene-sulfonamides 1v and 1w were distinguished as multifunctional ligands showing increased affinity for 5-HT6R, and 2-(6-(4-(benzo[d]isothiazol-3-yl)piperazin-1-yl)hexyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3(2H)-one 1i – a multifunctional ligand showing moderate affinity for 5-HT6R and threefold lower for 5-HT7R. In the paper, we discuss some of the observed dependencies regarding 5-HT6/5-HT7R affinity using molecular docking methods.

Overexpression of human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays an important role in several signaling pathways inside and outside the cell, especially in the processes of cell proliferation, differentiation, and death in various cancers. Due to the complexity of the structure and function of EGFR, research on the fluorescence visualization of EGFR protein visualization has proved challenging. One possible strategy for designing a receptor-targeting fluorescent probe with a switching mechanism is to introduce an environment-sensitive fluorophore into the drug ligand. Based on this strategic molecular design, we introduced two environment-sensitive small molecular fluorophores, dansyl chloride (DNS) and nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD), to replace the morpholine group of gefitinib, achieving a series of fluorescent molecular probes bearing a switching mechanism. The GN probes exhibited prominent environment sensitivity, suggesting good performance as turn-on EGFR-targeting fluorescent ligands. The representative probe GN3 specifically responded to tumor cells overexpressing EGFR, which was validated with live-cell fluorescence imaging and in vivo xenograft tumor imaging. Ligand-induced EGFR phosphorylation in A431 cells was considerably inhibited by probe GN3, demonstrating that this probe still functions as an EGFR inhibitor. Owing to the turn-on response of GN3 to EGFR in tumor cells, and the competitive replacement behavior to the EGFR inhibitor gefitinib, these probes have the potential to be used for fluorescence imaging of cells overexpressing EGFR.
