Glycols and ethoxy– and propoxy–alcohols are fundamental chemicals in industry, with annual productions of millions of tons, still manufactured in many cases with corrosive and unrecoverable catalysts such as KOH, amines and BF3?OEt2. Here we show that commercially available, inexpensive, non–toxic, solid and recyclable nanotitania catalyzes the hydration and alkoxylation of epoxides, with water and primary and secondary alcohols but not with phenols, carboxylic acids and tertiary alcohols. In this way, the chemoselective synthesis of different glycols and 1,4–dioxanones, and the implementation of nanotitania for the production in–flow of glycols and alkoxylated alcohols, has been achieved. Mechanistic studies support the key role of vacancies in the nano–oxide catalyst.

The most challenge task in the building up of surface-active molecules is maximizing their surface activity with good biological activity. A nonionic surfactant (N-isatin-EOm-Cn where m is 5, 7 and 9 ethylene glycol units and n is 8, 10 and 12) is achieved by first reacting isatin with chloroacetic acid and then with different types of ethoxylated (C8–C12) fatty alcohols that possess 5, 7 and 9 ethylene oxide units. The prepared surfactants were characterized by FTIR and 1H NMR to confirm the structure. The surface activity, biodegradability, antimicrobial, and antifungal activity of the surfactants were evaluated. In addition, quantum chemical calculations and computations of oral bioavailability were performed. The obtained data show that all the synthesized compounds had good surface activity, biodegradability and biological activity.

Two types of photoreactions between electronically differentiated donor and acceptor alkenes assisted by nucleophilic addition using an organic photoredox catalyst efficiently afforded 1:1 or 2:1 cross-coupling adducts. A variety of alkenes and alcohols were employed in the photoreaction. Control of the reaction pathway (i.e., the formation of the 1:1 or 2:1 adduct) was achieved by varying the concentration of the alcohol used. Detailed mechanistic studies suggested that the organic photoredox catalyst acts as an effective electron mediator to promote the formation of the cross-coupling adducts.

Polydisperse PEGs are ubiquitously used in pharmaceutical industry and biomedical research. However, the monodispersity in PEGs may play a role in the development of safe and effective PEGylated small molecular drugs. Here, to avoid the polydispersity in polidocanol, the active ingredient in a clinically used drug, a macrocyclic sulfate-based strategy for the efficient and scalable synthesis of monodisperse polidocanols, their sulfates, and their methylated derivatives, was developed. TLC and HPLC analysis indicated a complex mixture in regular polidocanol and high purities in monodisperse polidocanols and their derivatives. Assay on HUVEC, L929, and HePG2 cells showed that monodisperse polidocanols have much higher cytotoxicity and safety than that of regular polidocanol. It was found that the monodispersity of PEGs in polidocanols is crucial for achieving the optimal therapeutic results. Therefore, based on this case study, it would be beneficial to optimize PEGylated small molecular drugs with monodisperse PEGs in pharmaceutical research and development.

The ability of a nonviral nucleic acid carrier to deliver its cargo to cells with low associated toxicity is a critical issue for clinical applications of gene therapy. We describe biodegradable cationic DOPC–C12E4 conjugates in which transfection efficiency is based on a Trojan horse strategy. In situ production of the detergent compound C12E4 through conjugate hydrolysis within the acidic endosome compartment was expected to promote endosome membrane destabilization and subsequent release of the lipoplexes into cytosol. The transfection efficiency of the conjugates has been assessed in vitro, and associated cytotoxicity was determined. Cellular uptake and intracellular distribution of the lipoplexes have been investigated. The results show that direct conjugation of DOPC with C12E4 produces a versatile carrier that can deliver both DNA and siRNA to cells in vitro with high efficiency and low cytotoxicity. SAR studies suggest that this compound might represent a reasonable compromise between the membrane activity of the released detergent and susceptibility of the conjugate to degradation enzymes in vitro. Although biodegradability of the conjugates had low impact on carrier efficiency in vitro, it proved critical in vivo. Significant improvement of transgene expression was obtained in the mouse lung tuning biodegradability of the carrier. Importantly, this also allowed reduction of the inflammatory response that invariably characterizes cationic-lipid-mediated gene transfer in animals.
