Hyperpolarization enhances the intensity of the NMR signals of a molecule, whose in vivo metabolic fate can be monitored by MRI with higher sensitivity. SABRE is a hyperpolarization technique that could potentially be used to image nitric oxide (NO) production in vivo. This would be very important, because NO dysregulation is involved in several pathologies, including cardiovascular ones. The nitric oxide synthase (NOS) pathway leads to NO production via conversion of L-arginine into L-citrulline. NO is a free radical gas with a short half-life in vivo (≈5?s), therefore direct NO quantification is challenging. An indirect method – based on quantifying conversion of an L-Arg- to L-Cit-derivative by 1H NMR spectroscopy – is herein proposed. A small library of pyridyl containing L-Arg derivatives was designed and synthesised. In vitro tests showed that compounds 4a–j and 11a–c were better or equivalent substrates for the eNOS enzyme (NO2? production?=?19–46?μM) than native L-Arg (NO2? production?=?25?μM). Enzymatic conversion of L-Arg to L-Cit derivatives could be monitored by 1H NMR. The maximum hyperpolarization achieved by SABRE reached 870-fold NMR signal enhancement, which opens up exciting future perspectives of using these molecules as hyperpolarized MRI tracers in vivo.

A new 2-oxazoline monomer with a Boc-protected amino group in the side chain (BocOx) was synthesized. Homopolymerization as well as copolymerization with 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline (EtOx) revealed a pseudo first order kinetic. A series of homopolymers was synthesized, deprotected and characterized regarding their structure and thermal properties. The copolymerization with EtOx yielded a series of water soluble polymers with varying amino contents. After deprotection it was shown by the ethidium bromide assay that these polymers were able to form complexes with DNA. Treatment with epichlorohydrin leads to the formation of hydrogels. The swelling properties of the gels were investigated and it could be demonstrated that also the polymeric scaffolds were able to immobilize DNA from aqueous solution. Furthermore, the release of the DNA was accomplished using heparin.
Synthesis and functional characterization of imbutamine analogs as histamine H3 and H4 receptor ligands

Imbutamine (4-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)butanamine) is a potent histamine H 3 (H3R) and H4 receptor (H4R) agonist (EC50 values: 3 and 66 nM, respectively). Aiming at improved selectivity for the H4R, the imidazole ring in imbutamine was methyl-substituted or replaced by various differently substituted heterocycles (1,2,3-triazoles, 1,2,4-triazoles, pyridines, pyrimidines) as potential bioisosteres. Investigations in [35S]GTPγS binding assays using membranes of Sf9 insect cells expressing the respective human histamine receptor subtype revealed only very weak activity of most of the synthesized hetarylalkylamines at both receptors. By contrast, the introduction of substituents at the 4-imidazolyl ring was most effective regarding H 4R selectivity. This holds for methyl substitution in position 2 and, especially, in position 5. 5-Methylimbutamine (H4R: EC50 = 59 nM, α = 0.8) was equipotent with imbutamine at the hH4R, but revealed about 16-fold selectivity for the hH4R compared to the hH3R (EC50 980 nM, α = 0.36), whereas imbutamine preferred the hH3R. The functional activities were in agreement with radioligand binding data. The results support the hypothesis that, by analogy with histamine, methyl substitution in histamine homologs offers a way to shift the selectivity in favor of the H4R. According to a bioisosteric approach, the imidazole ring in the dual histamine H3/H4 receptor agonist imbutamine (n = 4) was replaced by various five- and six-membered N-heterocycles. Whereas these structural modifications resulted in a reduction or loss of activity at both receptors, 5-methyl substitution at the imidazol-4-yl ring in imbutamine changed the receptor subtype selectivity in favor of the H4R.

We synthesized affinity-based chemical probes of cytosine-adenosine bisubstrate analogs and identified several potential targets by proteomic analysis. The validation of the proteomic analysis identified the chemical probe as a specific inhibitor of gluco

Although gastric cancer has become a major public health problem, oral agents applied in clinics for gastric cancer therapy are scarce. Therefore, to explore new oral chemical entities with high efficiency and low toxicity, 41 o-aminobenzamide derivatives based on the scaffolds of MS-275 and SAHA were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their anti-gastric cancer abilities in vitro and in vivo. Structure-activity relationships were discussed, leading to the identification of compounds F8 (IC50 = 0.28 μM against HGC-27 cell) and T9 (IC50 = 1.84 μM against HGC-27 cell) with improved cytotoxicity, anti-gastric cancer proliferation potency, induction of cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest ability, inhibition of cell migration and invasion. What is worth mentioning is that compound F8 was more efficient and less toxic than the positive drug capecitabine in vivo on the HGC-27-xenograft model. Meanwhile, compound F8 exhibited suitable pharmacokinetic properties and less acute toxicity (LD50 > 1000 mg/kg). Besides, western blotting analysis, IHC analysis, differentially expressed proteins analysis and ABPP experiment indicated that compound F8 could modulate molecular pathways involved in apoptosis and cell cycle progression. Consequently, compound F8 is a strong candidate for the development of human gastric cancer therapy.

We report a highly atom-efficient integrated cofactor/co-product recycling cascade employing cycloalkylamines as multifaceted starting materials for the synthesis of nylon building blocks. Reactions using E. coli whole cells as well as purified enzymes produced excellent conversions ranging from >80 and 95 % into desired ω-amino acids, respectively with varying substrate concentrations. The applicability of this tandem biocatalytic cascade was demonstrated to produce the corresponding lactams by employing engineered biocatalysts. For instance, ?-caprolactam, a valuable polymer building block was synthesized with 75 % conversion from 10 mM cyclohexylamine by employing whole-cell biocatalysts. This cascade could be an alternative for bio-based production of ω-amino acids and corresponding lactam compounds.
