Porphyrins are becoming increasingly important building blocks in material science. This is due in part to several favorable characteristics; such as strong absorption into the infrared region, tunable electronic properties and the possibility to modify and define the porphyrin core in multiple ways. Herein we report synthetic methodologies for porphyrin-based molecular tectons for surface studies. The study aims to generate porphyrins with directional anchoring groups of different length and we report a library of long-wavelength absorbing porphyrins with a special focus on organometallic coupling reactions for the introduction of benzoic acid moieties as anchor groups.
Zinc(II)-dipicolylamine-functionalized polydiacetylene-liposome microarray: A selective and sensitive sensing platform for pyrophosphate ions

A microarray-chip assay system for the fluorescence detection of phosphate-containing analytes in aqueous media has been constructed from stimuli-responsive polymerized poly(diacetylene)-liposomes for the first time. Proper combination of the liposome components (ZnII-dipicolylamine for phosphate binding and an amine-terminated component for anchoring the liposome onto an aldehyde-derivatized glass plate), has led to a microarray chip that selectively detects pyrophosphate, an important biomarker, over competing anions, such as phosphate and adenosine triphosphate, with nanomolar sensitivity. The chip-based assay shows advantages, such as high specificity and sensitivity, over solution-based assays that use the same liposomes, and over known homogeneous molecular sensing systems. Microchip 'N Dale: A microarray-chip system based on a poly(diacetylene) liposome functionalized with a zinc(II)-dipicolylamine ligand detects pyrophosphate ions with unparalleled sensitivity and selectivity. These chips show advantages over solution-based assays that use the same liposomes. Copyright

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an interstitial lung disease characterized by a progressive-fibrosing phenotype. IPF has been associated with aberrant HDAC activities confirmed by our immunohistochemistry studies on HDAC6 overexpression in IPF lung tissues. We herein developed a series of novelhHDAC6 inhibitors, having low inhibitory potency overhHDAC1 andhHDAC8, as potential pharmacological tools for IPF treatment. Their inhibitory potency was combined with lowin vitroandin vivotoxicity. Structural analysis of 6h and structure-activity relationship studies contributed to the optimization of the binding mode of the new molecules. The best-performing analogues were tested for their efficacy in inhibiting fibrotic sphere formation and cell viability, proving their capability in reverting the IPF phenotype. The efficacy of analogue 6h was also determined in a validated human lung model of TGF-β1-dependent fibrogenesis. The results highlighted in this manuscript may pave the way for the identification of first-in-class molecules for the treatment of IPF.

The Pauson-Khand reaction (PKR) is a powerful means for the construction of cyclopentenones. However, its applications have been limited to the intramolecular version of this reaction because poor yield and regioselectivity are often the major problems in intermolecular PKR. Here we describe that a carbamate moiety in alkene substrate accelerates this intermolecular PKR. The reaction of N-4-dimethylaminophenyl O-allyl carbamate with alkyne-cobalt complex gave cyclopentenones in high yield (up to 90%) and regioselectivity (>9:1).

Transition-metal-free synthesis of β-alkoxy monohydroperoxides via aerobic photooxidation using an acridinium photocatalyst was developed. This method enables the synthesis of some novel hydroperoxides. The peroxide source is molecular oxygen, which is cost-effective and atomically efficient. Magnesium oxide plays an important role as a base in the catalytic system.

A catalytic method to prepare highly substituted 1,3-dienes from two different alkenes is described using a directed, palladium(II)-mediated C(alkenyl)-H activation strategy. The transformation exhibits broad scope across three synthetically useful substrate classes masked with suitable bidentate auxiliaries (4-pentenoic acids, allylic alcohols, and bishomoallylic amines) and tolerates internal nonconjugated alkenes, which have traditionally been a challenging class of substrates in this type of chemistry. Catalytic turnover is enabled by either MnO2 as the stoichiometric oxidant or co-catalytic Co(OAc)2 and O2 (1 atm). Experimental and computational studies were performed to elucidate the preference for C(alkenyl)-H activation over other potential pathways. As part of this effort, a structurally unique alkenylpalladium(II) dimer was isolated and characterized.

We have previously reported the synthesis, in vitro and in silico activities of new GABA analogues as inhibitors of the GABA-AT enzyme from Pseudomonas fluorescens, where the nitrogen atom at the γ-position is embedded in heterocyclic scaffolds. With the goal of finding more potent inhibitors, we now report the synthesis of a new set of GABA analogues with a broader variation of heterocyclic scaffolds at the γ-position such as thiazolidines, methyl-substituted piperidines, morpholine and thiomorpholine and determined their inhibitory potential over the GABA-AT enzyme from Pseudomonas fluorescens. These structural modifications led to compound 9b which showed a 73% inhibition against this enzyme. In vivo studies with PTZ-induced seizures on male CD1 mice show that compound 9b has a neuroprotective effect at a 0.50 mmole/kg dose. A QSAR study was carried out to find the molecular descriptors associated with the structural changes in the GABA scaffold to explain their inhibitory activity against GABA-AT. Employing 3D molecular descriptors allowed us to propose the GABA analogues enantiomeric active form. To evaluate the interaction with Pseudomonas fluorescens and human GABA-AT by molecular docking, the constructions of homology models was carried out. From these calculations, 9b showed a strong interaction with both GABA-AT enzymes in agreement with experimental results and the QSAR model, which indicates that bulky ligands tend to be the better inhibitors especially those with a sulfur atom on their structure.

Removable tridentate directing groups inspired by pincer ligands have been designed to stabilize otherwise kinetically and thermodynamically disfavored 6-membered alkyl palladacycle intermediates. This family of directing groups enables regioselective remote hydrocarbofunctionalization of several synthetically useful alkene-containing substrate classes, including 4-pentenoic acids, allylic alcohols, homoallyl amines, and bis-homoallylamines, under Pd(II) catalysis. In conjunction with previous findings, we demonstrate regiodivergent hydrofunctionalization of 3-butenoic acid derivatives to afford either Markovnikov or anti-Markovnikov addition products depending on directing group choice. Preliminary mechanistic and computational data are presented to support the proposed catalytic cycle.

NCX1404 [(3S)-5-methyl-3-(((1-(4-(nitrooxy)butanoyloxy)ethoxy) carbonylamino) methyl)hexanoic acid] is a novel nitric oxide (NO)-donating pregabalin that is readily absorbed and processed in vivo to pregabalin and NO. We determined the antiallodynic response of NCX1404 after acute or after 7, 14, and 21 days of repeated daily oral dosing in mice with streptozotocin (STZ)-induced painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN). Pregabalin and its combination with the NO donor isosorbide mononitrate (ISMN) were used for comparison. The blood levels of pregabalin and nitrites, used as surrogate marker of NO release, after NCX1404 or pregabalin dosing were monitored in parallel experiments using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). NCX1404 and pregabalin resulted in similar pregabalin levels as it was their antiallodynic activity after acute dosing in STZ mice. However, NCX1404 resulted in disease-modifying properties when administered daily for 21 days, as indicated by the time- and dose-dependent reversal of STZ-induced mechanical allodynia (paw withdrawal threshold [PWT]Veh-21d = 1.3 v 0.15 g for vehicle; PWTNCX1404-21d = 1.4 ± 0.5 g, 2.9 ± 0.2 g? and 4.1 ± 0.2 g?, respectively for 19, 63, and 190 μmol/kg, oral gavage [PO] of NCX1404; ?P, 0.05 versus vehicle). This effect was not shared by pregabalin at equimolar doses (190 μmol/kg, PO, PWTPregab-21d = 1.4 ± 0.1 g?, ?P Veh-7d= 1.7 ± 0.16 g; PWTISMN-7d = 3.9 ± 0.34 g?; PWTPregab-7d = 1.3 ± 0.07 g; PWTISMN+pregab-7d = 3.8 ± 0.29 g?; ?P, 0.05) but not at later time points. The long-term effect of NCX1404 was independent of residual drug exposure and lasted for several days after the treatment was stopped. In summary, like pregabalin, NCX1404 is an effective antiallodynic agent. Differently from pregabalin, repeated dosing of NCX1404 re-established normal nociceptive responses in STZ-induced PDN in mice.

A series of polysiloxane derivatives having quaternized imidazolium moieties with hydroxyalkyl groups ([HPImnOH]Xs) (where n is the number of methylene group and X is counter anion) were prepared by quaternization of poly(3-chloropropylmethylsiloxane) (P1) using 1-(ω-hydroxyalkyl)imidazole derivatives (ImnOHs) and anion-exchange reaction using lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide. Polysiloxane-based quaternized imidazolium salts having hydroxyalkyl groups with chloride anion ([HPImnOH]Cls) were obtained with high quaternization ratio of approximately 100 mol%. The glass transition temperatures (Tgs) of [HPImnOH]Xs were reduced by introducing a hydroxy group at the end of alkyl groups; however, no significant reduction in Tgs was observed by anion exchange from chloride anion to bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide one (Tf2N-).
