Despite the increasing incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) worldwide, current pharmacological treatments are still unsatisfactory. We have previously shown that lysophosphatidic acid receptor 6 (LPAR6) supports HCC growth and that 9-xanthenylacetic acid (XAA) acts as an LPAR6 antagonist inhibiting HCC growth without toxicity. Here, we synthesized four novel XAA derivatives, (±)-2-(9H-xanthen-9-yl)propanoic acid (compound 4 – MC9), (±)-2-(9H-xanthen-9-yl)butanoic acid (compound 5 – MC6), (±)-2-(9H-xanthen-9-yl)hexanoic acid (compound 7 – MC11), and (±)-2-(9H-xanthen-9-yl)octanoic acid (compound 8 – MC12, sodium salt) by introducing alkyl groups of increasing length at the acetic α-carbon atom. Two of these compounds were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and quantum mechanical calculations, while molecular docking simulations suggested their enantioselectivity for LPAR6. Biological data showed anti-HCC activity for all XAA derivatives, with the maximum effect observed for MC11. Our findings support the view that increasing the length of the alkyl group improves the inhibitory action of XAA and that enantioselectivity can be exploited for designing novel and more effective XAA-based LPAR6 antagonists.

A general and efficient strategy for the synthesis of protected α-amino acids is reported. The method uses malonate derivatives as the starting materials and Cs2CO3 as a base at 60 degrees, giving α-amino acid derivatives in moderate yields by releasing CO2. This methodology shows broad substrate scope (primary and secondary acids), excellent functional group tolerance and high efficiency to give the desired products under mild reaction conditions. It also allows the construction of β and γ-amino acids and other unnatural products.

The synthesis of specific deuterated derivatives of the long chained ceramides [EOS] and [EOP] is described. The structural differences with respect to the natural compounds are founded in the substitution of the 2 double bonds containing linoleic acid by a palmitic acid branched with a methyl group in 10-position. The specific deuteration is introduced both in the branched and in the terminal methyl group, which was realized by common methods of successive deuteration of carboxylic groups in 3 steps. These modified fatty acids resp. the corresponding ceramides [EOS] and [EOP] were prepared for neutron scattering investigations. First results of these investigations were presented in this manuscript showing that the deuterated compounds could be detected in the stratum corneum lipid model membranes. The deuterated ceramides [EOS] and [EOP] are valuable tools to investigate the influence of these long chained ceramide species on the nanostructure of stratum corneum lipid model membranes.
Reductive bromine atom-transfer reaction

supporting information, p. 2826 - 2829 (2013/07/19)
Atom-transfer radical (ATR) reactions of alkenes with R-X usually give products having new C-C and C-X bonds at the adjacent carbons. However, when the reaction was carried out under irradiation using a low-pressure Hg lamp, addition/reduction products were obtained in good yield. Hydrogen bromide, formed by H-abstraction of a bromine radical from alkenes, is likely to play a key role in the reductive ATR reaction.

Synthesis of 3-alkyl(aryl)thietanes
Shevchenko,Volynskii
body text, p. 123 - 128 (2010/02/28)
A preparative procedure for the synthesis of thietanes bearing alkyl substituents in the β-position was developed. Using this procedure, 3-substituted thietanes can be obtained in four steps with an ultimate yield of > 50%. 3-R-thietanes (where R = CH3, C4H9, C5H11, C6H13, C6H 5) and the corresponding sulfoxides and sulfones were synthesized and examined. The feasibility of preparation of gem-3,3-substituted thietanes was exemplified by the synthesis of 3,3-dihexylthietane.

New racemic 1,4-disubstituted piperazines chemically named ethyl 2-[(4-pyrimidin-2yl-piperazine-1yl)carbonyl]C3-C5-alkanoates 1-7 were synthesized. The compounds were resolved into enantiomers on cellulose tris(4-methylbenzoate) and amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) stationary phases using hexane/propan-2-ol mobile phases. The optimum separation conditions for the compounds were obtained on cellulose tris(4-methylbenzoate) with 5% of 2-propanol in hexane. The relationship between structural and chromatographic parameters is discussed.

An efficient method for the solution phase synthesis of cyclic guanidines is presented. A variety of 2-substituted monoprotected propanediamines react with a set of 5-substituted 2-methylthio-3,4,5,6- tetrahydropyrimidines under Rathke conditions for the construction of a potential library of 81 cyclic guanidines.
The synthesis and electro-optic properties of liquid crystalline 2- (2,3-difluorobiphenyl-4'-yl)-1,3-dioxanes

Fifty-six novel alkyl and/or alkoxy disubstituted 2-(2,3- difluorobiphenyl-4'-yl)-1,3-dioxanes (DFBPD) were prepared. Smectic C and nematic mesophases were exhibited by most of the alkyl-alkoxy homologues. Conversely, most of the dialkyl compounds exhibited smectic C, smectic A and nematic phases. The birefringence (Δn), dielectric anisotropy (Δε), spontaneous polarisation and response times of two ferroelectric mixtures formulated from the dioxanyl systems were determined. The birefringence results were compared with eight other groups of mixtures where the materials were based on different core systems. The overall electro-optic properties of the DFBPDs were found to be comparable to the best of the eight most commonly used materials in ferroelectric display devices.
