A copper-carbodiimide approach to the phomopsin tripeptide side chain

A one-step copper-carbodimide elimination was used to provide the (E)-dehydroisoleucine moiety in the phomopsin side chain stereoselectively. An efficient approach to the phomopsin tripeptide side chain was developed to be used in the total syntheses of phomopsins A and B.     

Rheological behavior of PAA–C n TAB complex: influence of PAA charge density and surfactant tail length in PAA semidilute aqueous solution

Interactions between anionic polyelectrolyte, poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), and cationic surfactant, alkyltrimethylammonium bromide (C _n TAB), were investigated by rheological measurements in semidilute PAA solution. The dependences of the rheological behavior on the chain length of the surfactant, PAA neutralization degree, and temperature were discussed. The results revealed that both dodecyl and cetyltrimethylammonium bromides (C₁₂TAB and C₁₆TAB) could increase the viscosity of PAA solution when the surfactant amounts surpassed a critical surfactant concentration (C _c), and C _c of C₁₆TAB was lower than that of C₁₂TAB at same PAA neutralization degree. The increase of viscosity is attributed to the surfactant micelles bridging of the polymer chains and confine the mobility PAA chain. On the other hand, it is found that the hydrogen bonding also played an important role in the PAA–C _n TAB system, especially in lower neutralization degree PAA solution, which results in the viscosity increase rapidly with the added surfactant into lower neutralization degree PAA solution.     

Deterministic and exact entanglement teleportation viathe W state

Utilizing a three-particle W state, we come up with a protocol for the teleportation of an unknown two-particle entangled state. It is shown that the teleportation can be deterministically and exactly realized. Moreover, two-particle entanglement teleportation is generalized to a system consisting of many particles via a three-particle W state and a multi-particle W state, respectively. All unitary transformations performed by the receiver are given in a concise formula.     

Reaction mechanism of simultaneous catalytic removal of NOx and diesel soot particulates

Reactions of diesel soot and NOx with and without O₂ were carried out over CuFe₂O₄ catalyst. The ignition temperature of soot with the NO+O₂ feed was lower than that in O₂ or NO but close to those in NO₂ and NO₂+O₂, indicating the implication of NO₂ especially in decreasing the ignition temperature. On the other hand, the reduction of NOx into N₂ was enhanced by coexisting O₂. Based on these results and mechanisms of O₂-soot and NO-soot reactions, the possible reaction mechanism of the simultaneous NOx-soot removal with the NO+O₂ feed has been proposed.

A Bis(methylpiperazinylstyryl)phenanthroline as a Fluorescent Ligand for G‐Quadruplexes

G‐quadruplex (G4)‐forming sequences are prevalent in the genome and are considered to play important roles in gene regulation, and hence have been viewed as potential therapeutic targets in oncology. However, the structures and functions of most G4s in the genome are poorly understood. Therefore, the development of fluorescent probes and ligands for G4s is important for G4 research and drug discovery. Herein, we report a new G4 ligand, 2,9‐bis[4‐(4‐methylpiperazin‐1‐yl)styryl]‐1,10‐phenanthroline (BMSP), which was synthesized by a simple process. BMSP exhibits almost no fluorescence in aqueous buffer. The interaction of BMSP with G4s greatly enhances its fluorescence with a large Stokes’ shift of 160 nm. Antiparallel human telomeric G4s exhibit the strongest binding affinity (K_d≈0.13 μm ) to BMSP and induce a fluorescence enhancement of up to 150‐fold. BMSP binds to G4s through π–π stacking on the terminal G‐quartets. BMSP can enter live cells, and it strongly inhibits the growth of cancer cells rather than causing cell death. Our results suggest that BMSP has the potential to serve both as a fluorescent probe for some G4s and as a chemotherapeutic agent for cancer treatment.

Screening of inhibitors for influenza A virus using high-performance affinity chromatography and combinatorial peptide libraries

The affinity inhibitor of fusion peptide of influenza A virus has been studied using a combination of high-performance affinity chromatography (HPAC) and combinatorial peptide libraries. Fusion peptide (FP) (1-11) of influenza A virus was used as the affinity ligand and immobilized onto the poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) beads. Positional scanning peptide libraries based on antisense peptide strategy and extended peptide libraries were designed and synthesized. The screening was carried out at acidic pH (5.5) in order to imitate the environment of virus fusion. A hendecapeptide FHRKKGRGKHK was identified to have a strong affinity to the FP (1-11). The dissociation constant of the complex of the hendecapeptide and the FP (1-11) is 3.10 x 10(-6) mol l(-1) in a physiological buffer condition. The polypeptide has a fairly inhibitory effect on three different strains of influenza A virus H1N1 subtype.

The reaction of thio acids with azides: a new mechanism and new synthetic applications

A new amide synthesis strategy based on a fundamental mechanistic revision of the reaction of thio acids and organic azides is presented. The data demonstrate that amines are not formed as intermediates in this reaction. Alternative mechanisms proceeding through a thiatriazoline intermediate are suggested. The reaction has been applied to the preparation of simple and architecturally complex amides that are difficult to access using conventional methods. The reaction is chemoselective, effective for unprotected substrates, and compatible with aprotic and protic solvents, including water.
