This report describes the preparation of some new β-lactam nanocopolymers. These nanoparticles are synthesized in water by emulsion polymerization of an acrylate β-lactam pre-dissolved in a mixture of co-monomers in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate as a surfactant and potassium persulfate as a radical initiator. Dynamic light scattering analysis and electron microscopy images of these emulsions show that the nanoparticles are approximately 30-70 nm in diameter. These compounds have been evaluated for their antimalarial activities against chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium faliparum K1 strain demonstrating IC50 varying from 14 to 50 μM. The interactions between these β-lactam nanocopolymers and the P. falciparum single-stranded DNA-binding proteins have been studied by molecular docking calculations.

Radical cyclization represents a powerful strategy for construction of ring structures. Traditional radical cyclization, which is based on radical addition as the key step, necessitates the use of unsaturated substrates. Guided by the concept of metalloradical catalysis, a different mode of radical cyclization that can employ saturated C-H substrates is demonstrated through the development of a Co(II)-based system for catalytic activation of aliphatic diazo compounds for enantioselective radical alkylation of various C(sp3)-H bonds. It allows for efficient construction of chiral pyrrolidines and other valuable 5-membered cyclic compounds. This alternative strategy of radical cyclization provides a new retrosynthetic paradigm to prepare five-membered cyclic molecules from readily available open-chain aldehydes through the union of C-H and C=O elements for C-C bond formation.
