Different families of new amino compounds were efficiently synthesized, through optimized sequential processes, involving rhodium catalyzed hydroformylation as the key step. The selection of appropriate hydroformylation catalytic systems and reaction conditions allowed obtaining aldehydes derived from several n-alkyl olefins, cholest-4-ene and 3-vinyl-1H-indole, which were subsequently transformed, in one-pot, in to α-amino acids via hydroformylation/Strecker reaction, and in to tertiary amines via hydroaminomethylation, with excellent yields.

This article follows on from our previous work in the area of non-viral gene delivery using polycationic dendrimers (PCDs). Herein we report on the synthesis and efficacy of a new library of lipid core PCDs in the delivery of the anti-angiogenic oligonucleotide (ODN-1) to retinal pigment epithelial cells. ELISA was used to monitor hVEGF levels in cells transfected with dendriplexes, Cytofectin GSV and control (non-transfected). At 48 h, hVEGF titres had returned to that of the untransfected control for Cytofectin GSV however, a number of dendriplexes continued to exhibit a marked reduction in hVEGF titres.
Unsymmetrical azo initiators increase efficiency of radical generation in aqueous dispersions, liposomal membranes, and lipoproteins

Lipid peroxidation studies often employ the use of azo initiators to produce a slow, steady source of free radicals, but the lack of initiators capable of efficiently generating radicals in lipid aggregates such as micelles and membranes has created persistent problems in these investigations. We report here the synthesis and study of unsymmetrically substituted (hydrophilic/hydrophobic) azo initiators C-8, C-12, and C-16 that increase the efficiency of radical generation in lipophilic regions of aqueous emulsions such as micelles and liposomes. Radical generation from these initiators was monitored in micelles, liposomes, and lipoproteins by the use of two radical scavengers, one that scavengers lipophilic peroxyl radicals and one that scavenges hydrophilic peroxyls. The lipophilic radical scavenger used was the well-known antioxidant α-tocopherol and the hydrophilic radical scavenger used was uric acid. Two peroxyl radicals are trapped by each of these scavengers, tocopherol presumably being biased toward reacting with lipid soluble radicals, uric acid presumably reacting preferentially with water-soluble radicals. In Triton X-100 micelles the unsymmetrical initiators C-8 and C-16 display an increase in both α-TOH (α- tocopherol) trapping and in overall radical generation efficiency compared to the symmetrical initiators C-0 (hydrophilic) and MeOAMVN (lipophilic). The unsymmetrical azo initiators performance in liposomes was excellent (increased cage escape with lipid compartment access). In low-density lipoprotein oxidations, the initiators C-8, C-12, and C-16 also provided advantages over C-0 and MeOAMVN. The hydrophilic/hydrophobic character of the two radicals generated from the unsymmetrical initiators is an important factor for separating the geminate radical pair. These initiators, when compared to the widely used symmetrical azo initiators, provide an advantage of free radical production, lipophilic access, and constant radical generation in the investigation of lipid peroxidation in various media.

Monomer-type functional surfactants, 2-(p-vinylbenzylamino)alkanoic acid (RnAc) and N,N-dialkyl derivatives (RRnNAc), have been used as both a ligand and an emulsifier for the preparation of surface-template resins. The surfactants adsorbed at the toluene-water interface and emulsified divinylbenzene-styrene in a Cu2+ or Zn2+ solution. Emulsion polymerization using a K2S2O8 initiator (80 °C) or by irradiation with γ-rays gave fine particles of 200-800 nm in diameter. Metal-imprinted resins prepared with RnNAc and RRnNAc showed a high adsorptive capacity for the metal ion (surface-template effect). Cu-imprinted resins prepared with R8NAc were 2.69-times as effective for Cu2+ in competitive sorption from a Cu2+-Zn2+ mixture and Zn-imprinted resins were 1.84-times as effective for Zn2+, compared with unimprinted resins. Because of the great emulsifying power, metal-imprinted resins prepared with R8NAc showed the most metal-selective adsorption and the largest capacity among resins prepared with RnNAc and RRnNAc.
