A novel and simple fluorescent receptor bearing thiourea moiety as recognition site was described. The recognition behavior of the receptor toward different anions was investigated in DMSO/H2O (95:5 v/v) and dry DMSO through two various channels: the colorless-yellow color change and a remarkable enhancement of the fluorescence. And the enhancement of the fluorescence was attributed to an anion-induced increase of the rigidity of the host molecule.
THIOSEMICARBAZONES INHIBITORS OF LYSOPHOSPHATIDIC ACID ACYLTRANSFERASE AND USES THEREOF

Lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase-beta (LPAAT-β) catalyzes the production of phosphatidic acid (PA) from lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). The lipid cofactor PA contributes to the activation of c-Raf, BRAF, mTOR and PKC-ζ. LPAAT-β expression is a prognostic factor in gynecologic malignancies and is being investigated as a therapeutic target in a variety of tumor types. A class of thiosemicarbazones was identified as inhibitors of LPAAT-β from a screen of a library of small molecules. A focused library of thiosemicarbazones derivatives was prepared and led to the development of compounds which potently inhibit LPAAT-β and inhibit the growth of MiaPaCa2 human pancreatic cancer cells.
