The photophysical and photochemical behavior of a series of hairpin-forming DNA conjugates possessing a 5′-tethered pyrenecarboxamide chromophore and one or two bromouracil bases has been investigated. Quenching of the pyrene fluorescence and transient absorption spectra characteristic of the pyrene cation radical are observed only when bromouracil is located at the first or second base pair position nearest to the point of pyrene attachment. These observations are consistent with an intercalated structure for these conjugates in which pyrene is adjacent to the second base pair. Selective quenching of singlet pyrene by bromouracil but not by thymine is consistent with the free energy for charge separation estimated using Weiler's equation. Low quantum yields for loss of bromide when bromouracil is not adjacent to pyrene are attributed to inefficient charge separation via either a multistep electron transport or a single-step superexchange mechanism. Quantum yields are only weakly dependent upon the distance between pyrene and bromouracil, as expected for a multistep electron transport mechanism. Loss of bromide from conjugates possessing two bromouracils occurs sequentially. For adjacent bromouracils, competitive loss of bromide from both bromouracils is observed, whereas for nonadjacent bromouracils loss of bromide from the proximal bromouracil occurs prior to any loss from the distal bromouracil, consistent with a slower rate constant for electron transport vs loss of bromide.

A number of novel naphthalimido and phthalimido vanillin derivatives were synthesised, and evaluated as antioxidants and cholinesterase inhibitors in vitro. Antioxidant activity was assessed using DPPH, FRAP, and ORAC assays. All compounds demonstrated enhanced activity compared to the parent compound, vanillin. They also exhibited BuChE selectivity in Ellman's assay. A lead compound, 2a (2-(3-(bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)amino)propyl)-1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dione), was identified and displayed strong antioxidant activity (IC50 of 16.67 μM in the DPPH assay, a 25-fold increase in activity compared to vanillin in the FRAP assay, and 9.43 TE in the ORAC assay). Furthermore, 2a exhibited potent BuChE selectivity, with an IC50 of 0.27 μM which was around 53-fold greater than the corresponding AChE inhibitory activity. Molecular modelling studies showed that molecules with bulkier groups, as in 2a, exhibited better BuChE selectivity. This work provides a promising basis for the development of multi-target hybrid compounds based on vanillin as potential AD therapeutics.

Small molecule inhibitors of the HIV-1 nucleocapsid protein (NC) are considered as promising agents in the treatment of HIV/AIDS. In an effort to exploit the privileged 2-amino-4-phenylthiazole moiety in NC inhibition, here we conceived, synthesized, and tested in vitro 18 NC inhibitors (NCIs) bearing a double functionalization. In these NCIs, one part of the molecule is deputed to interact noncovalently with the NC hydrophobic pocket, while the second portion is designed to interact with the N-terminal domain of NC. This binding hypothesis was verified by molecular dynamics simulations, while the linkage between these two pharmacophores was found to enhance antiretroviral activity both on the wild-type virus and on HIV-1 strains with resistance to currently licensed drugs. The two most interesting compounds 6 and 13 showed no cytotoxicity, thus becoming valuable leads for further investigations.
