Membrane fusion is a valid target for inhibition of HIV-1 replication. A 34-mer fragment peptide (C34), which is contained in the HIV-1 envelope protein gp41, has significant anti-HIV activity. Previously, a dimeric derivative of C34 linked by a disulfide bridge at its C-terminus was found to have more potent anti-HIV activity than the C34 peptide monomer. To date, several peptidomimetic small inhibitors have been reported, but most have lower potency than peptide derivatives related to C34. In the present study we applied this dimerization concept to these peptidomimetic small inhibitors and designed several bivalent peptidomimetic HIV-1 fusion inhibitors. The importance of the length of linkers crosslinking two peptidomimetic compounds was demonstrated and several potent bivalent inhibitors containing tethered peptidomimetics were produced.

Polyacrylamide pseudo crown ethers via hydrogen bond-assisted cyclopolymerization

Polyacrylamide pseudo crown ethers with large in-chain rings (15–24 membered) were synthesized by hydrogen bond-mediated cyclopolymerization of bisacrylamides comprising poly(ethylene oxide) spacers (PEGnDAAm, ethylene oxide units: n = 3–6). The monomers undergo the intramolecular hydrogen bonding of the bisacrylamide units in halogenated solvents to dynamically place the two olefins adjacently. As a result, the bisacrylamides homogeneously allowed controlled radical cyclopolymerization without any macroscopic gelation in 1,2-dichloroethane, even at relatively high concentration of monomers (200 mM), to directly provide precision cyclopolyacrylamides and the related copolymers with high cyclization efficiency (84–98%). Owing to the in-chain ring pendants, a cyclopolyacrylamide had glass transition temperature higher than a corresponding polyacrylamide with linear pendants.

The synthesis of a series of octadentate ligands containing the 1-hydroxypyridin-2-one (1,2-HOPO) group in complex with europium(III) is reported. Within this series, the central bridge connecting two diethylenetriamine units linked to two 1,2-HOPO chromophores at the extremities (5-LIN-1,2-HOPO) is varied from a short ethylene chain (H(2,2)-1,2-HOPO) to a long pentaethylene oxide chain (H(17O5,2)-1,2-HOPO). The thermodynamic stability of the europium complexes has been studied and reveals these complexes may be effective for biological measurements. Extension of the central bridge results in exclusion of the inner-sphere water molecule observed for [Eu(H(2,2)-1,2-HOPO)]- going from a nonacoordinated to an octacoordinated Eu(III) ion. With the longer chain length ligands, the complexes display increased luminescence properties in aqueous medium with an optimum of 20% luminescence quantum yield for the [Eu(H(17O5,2)-1,2-HOPO)]- complex. The luminescence properties for [Eu(H(14O4,2)-1,2-HOPO)]- and [Eu(H(17O5,2)-1,2-HOPO)]- are better than that of the model bis-tetradentate [Eu(5LINMe-1,2-HOPO)2]- complex, suggesting a different geometry around the metal center despite the geometric freedom allowed by the longer central chain in the H(mOn,2) scaffold. These differences are also evidenced by examining the luminescence spectra at room temperature and at 77 K and by calculating the luminescence kinetic parameters of the europium complexes.

An expanded CUG repeat transcript (CUGexp) is the causative agent of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) by sequestering muscleblind-like 1 protein (MBNL1), a regulator of alternative splicing. On the basis of a ligand (1) that was previously reported to be active in an in vitro assay, we present the synthesis of a small library containing 10 dimeric ligands (4-13) that differ in length, composition, and attachment point of the linking chain. The oligoamino linkers gave a greater gain in affinity for CUG RNA and were more effective when compared to oligoether linkers. The most potent in vitro ligand (9) was shown to be aqueous-soluble and both cell- and nucleus-permeable, displaying almost complete dispersion of MBNL1 ribonuclear foci in a DM1 cell model. Direct evidence for the bioactivity of 9 was observed in its ability to disperse ribonuclear foci in individual live DM1 model cells using time-lapse confocal fluorescence microscopy.

experimental part, p. 3528 - 3535 (2009/10/17)
Steroidal bivalent ligands for the estrogen receptor (ER) were designed using crystal structures of ERα dimers as a template. The syntheses of several 17α-ethynylestradiol-based bivalent ligands with varying linker compositions and lengths are described. The binding affinities of these bivalent ligands for ERα and ERβ were determined. In the two series of bivalent ligands that we synthesized, there is a clear correlation between linker length and binding affinity, both of which reach a maximum at the same tether length. Further studies are underway to explore aspects of bivalent ligand and control compound binding to the ERs and their effects on ER dimer formation; these results will be reported in a subsequent publication.
Small-molecule-induced folding of a synthetic polymer

(Chemical Equation Presented) Stack 'em high: A polyimide with pyromellitic diimide units linked by hexaoxy-ethylene segments can be made to fold by cooperative two-point interactions on addition of a folding agent (see scheme). The ammonium group of the folding agent forms complexes with the oxyethylene spacer which greatly facilitates the formation of charge-transfer complexes between the aromatic units of the two components.

A series of five homodimeric polyethylene glycol (PEG) linked homodimers based on the multidrug resistance reversal agent (-)-stipiamide were made and tested for their ability to interact with P-glycoprotein, the protein responsible for multidrug resistance, using ATPase and photoaffinity displacement assays. Key reactions include a new alkoxide-mesylate displacement for the assembly of the PEG linkers and a double Sonogashira coupling reaction.
