A disk-shaped tridentate ligand 1 arranges silver(I) ions in a two-dimensional triangular and a three-dimensional tetrahedral fashion in the metal-ligand ratios, 3:2 and 1:1, respectively. The resulting sandwich-type (Ag312) and tetrahedral (Ag414) architectures are in a dynamic equilibrium in solution. Copyright

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) plays an important role in regulating epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and the TGF-β signaling pathway is a potential target for therapeutic intervention in the development of many diseases, such as fibrosis and cancer. Most currently available inhibitors of TGF-β signaling function as TGF-β receptor I (TβR-I) kinase inhibitors, however, such kinase inhibitors often lack specificity. In the present study, we targeted the extracellular protein binding domain of the TGF-β receptor II (TβR-II) to interfere with the protein-protein interactions (PPIs) between TGF-β and its receptors. One compound, CJJ300, inhibited TGF-β signaling by disrupting the formation of the TGF-β-TβR-I-TβR-II signaling complex. Treatment of A549 cells with CJJ300 resulted in the inhibition of downstream signaling events such as the phosphorylation of key factors along the TGF-β pathway and the induction of EMT markers. Concomitant with these effects, CJJ300 significantly inhibited cell migration. The present study describes for the first time a designed molecule that can regulate TGF-β-induced signaling and EMT by interfering with the PPIs required for the formation of the TGF-β signaling complex. Therefore, CJJ300 can be an important lead compound with which to study TGF-β signaling and to design more potent TGF-β signaling antagonists.

A crystalline inclusion complex between 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (trimesic acid, 1) and pyrene was grown from diethyl ether/ethanol and its structure was determined by X-ray analysis. Trialkyltrimesic acids 4b-4e were synthesized in seven steps fro
