, p. 53 - 61 (2010)
Novel biorenewable-based thermosets have been successfully synthesized by the ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of norbornenyl-functionalized fatty alcohols derived from soybean oil (NMSA), Dilulin (NMDA), ML189 (NMMA) and castor oil (NMCA). The effects of the monomer structure on the polymerization process, and the thermal and mechanical properties of the resulting thermosets have been extensively investigated. The number of ROMP-reactive rings appended to the fatty acid chain and the viscosity play an important role in controlling the initiation and propagation processes of the polymerization and the final properties of the thermosets obtained. The thermosets have been characterized by Soxhlet extraction, DMA, TGA, and tensile tests. It has been found that polyNMDA and polyNMMA have best thermo-mechanical properties. Compared with polyNMSA, the polyNMDA and polyNMMA thermosets exhibit lower soluble fractions, and higher thermal stabilities and mechanical properties, because of more effective crosslinking; whereas, polyNMCA exhibits a higher soluble fraction, and lower thermal stability, resulting from incomplete polymerization of the more viscous NMCA monomer.

Twenty-three natural jamunone analogues along with a series of jamunone-based derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory effects against breast cancer (BC) MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells. The preliminary structure-activity relationship revealed that the length of aliphatic side chain and free phenolic hydroxyl group at the scaffold played a vital role in anti-BC activities and the methyl group on chromanone affected the selectivity of molecules against MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells. Among them, jamunone M (JM) was screened as the most effective anti-triple-negative breast cancer (anti-TNBC) candidate with a high selectivity against BC cells over normal human cells. Mechanistic investigations indicated that JM could induce mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and cause G0/G1 phase arrest in BC cells. Furthermore, JM significantly restrained tumor growth in MDA-MB-231 xenograft mice without apparent toxicity. Interestingly, JM could downregulate phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway by suppressing protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) expression. These findings revealed the potential of JM as an appealing therapeutic drug candidate for TNBC.

Alkylglycerols (AKGs) are bioactive natural compounds that vary by alkyl chain length and degree of unsaturation, and their absolute configuration is 2S. Three AKGs (5l–5n) were synthesised in enantiomerically pure form, and were characterised for the first time together with 12 other known and naturally occurring AKGs (5a–5k, 5o). Their structures were established using 1H and 13C APT NMR with 2D-NMR, ESI-MS or HRESI-MS and optical rotation data, and they were tested for their antibacterial and antibiofilm activities. AKGs 5a–5m and 5o showed activity against five clinical isolates and P. aeruginosa ATCC 15442, with MIC values in the range of 15–125 μg/mL. In addition, at half of the MIC, most of the AKGs reduced S. aureus biofilm formation in the range of 23%–99% and P. aeruginosa ATCC 15442 biofilm formation in the range of 14%–64%. The antibiofilm activity of the AKGs assessed in this work had not previously been studied.

Performing selective transformations on complex substrates remains a challenge in synthetic chemistry. These difficulties often arise due to cross-reactivity, particularly in the presence of similar functional groups at multiple sites. Therefore, there is a premium on the ability to perform selective activation of these functional groups. We report here a supramolecular strategy where encapsulation of a hydrogenation catalyst enables selective olefin hydrogenation, even in the presence of multiple sites of unsaturation. While the reaction requires at least one sterically nondemanding alkene substituent, the rate of hydrogenation is not sensitive to the distance between the alkene and the functional group, including a carboxylate, on the other substituent. This observation indicates that only the double bond has to be encapsulated to effect hydrogenation. Going further, we demonstrate that this supramolecular strategy can overcome the inherent allylic alcohol selectivity of the free catalyst, achieving supramolecular catalyst-directed regioselectivity as opposed to directing-group selectivity.
3 - (1 - Piperazine - 4 - yl uncle ding yangtang acid radical) propionic acid amphiphilic derivatives and use thereof (by machine translation)
-
Paragraph 0052; 0070; 0072; 0073; 0074, (2018/07/30)
The invention relates to an amphiphilic derivative of 3-(1-tert-butoxycarbonylpiperazin-4-yl)propionic acid, and a use thereof, and also relates to a liposome prepared from the amphiphilic derivative. The use is the use of the liposome as a drug carrier delivery system. The liposome prepared from the amphiphilic derivative can be compounded with gene drug siRNA to form a compound with small particle size and uniform particle size distribution. The amphiphilic derivative is electrically neutral in environment with the pH value of 7.4, increases the in vivo stability of the lipid compound and reduces cytotoxicity caused by too many positive charges. The liposome can specifically inhibit gene expression in human non-small cell lung cancer H1299-Pg13 cells in vitro, and can specifically transship fluorescence gene drugs into normal mouse liver cells in vivo.

The transient receptor potential vanilloid type-2 (TRPV2) protein is a nonselective Ca2+ permeable channel member of the TRPV subfamily, still considered an orphan TRP channel due to the scarcity of available selective and potent pharmacological tools and endogenous modulators. Here we describe the discovery of novel synthetic long-chain capsaicin derivatives as potent TRPV2 antagonists in comparison to the totally inactive capsaicin, the role of their hydrophobic chain, and how the structure-activity relationships of such derivatives led, through a ligand-based approach, to the identification of endogenous long-chain fatty acid ethanolamides or primary amides acting as TRPV2 antagonists. Both synthetic and endogenous antagonists exhibited differential inhibition against known TRPV2 agonists characterized by distinct kinetic profiles. These findings represent the first example of both synthetic and naturally occurring TRPV2 modulators with efficacy in the submicromolar/low-micromolar range, which will be useful for clarifying the physiopathological roles of this receptor, its regulation, and its targeting in pathological conditions.

A versatile iridium(III) metallacycle catalysed rapidly and selectively the reduction of a large array of challenging esters and carboxylic acids as well as various ketones and aldehydes. The reactions proceeded in high yields at room temperature by hydrosilylation followed by desilylation. Although the reactions of various aldehydes and ketones resulted exclusively in alcohols, the hydrosilylation of esters led to alcohols or ethers, depending on the type of substrate. Regarding the carboxylic acids, again the nature of the reagent controlled the outcome of the hydrosilylation reaction, either alcohols or aldehydes being formed.
