The identification of new ATAD2 bromodomain inhibitors: the application of combined ligand and structure-based virtual screening

Ligand-based virtual screening (LBVS) and structure-based virtual screening (SBVS) approaches were used to identify new inhibitors for ATAD2 bromodomain. The LBVS approach was used to search 23,129,083 clean compounds to identify compounds similar to an active compound with reported pIC₅₀ equal to 7.2. Based on LBVS results, 19 compounds were selected. To perform SBVS, by applying nine filters on 23,129,083 clean compounds, 1,057,060 compounds were selected. After performing SBVS on these selected compounds with idock software, 16 compounds with the lowest binding energies were selected. More accurate molecular docking analysis was performed on these 35 selected compounds by using iGEMDOCK software and six of them with the lowest binding energies were selected as hit compounds. These compounds were zinc36647229, zinc77969074, zinc13637358, zinc77971540, zinc12991296 and zinc19374204.

Simultaneous determination of butyltin and phenyltin compounds in oysters by capillary gas chromatography

A method is described for the simultaneous determination of butyl- and phenyltin compounds in oyster samples. The organotin compounds were extracted (as chlorides) from oyster homogenates with hydrochloric acid and benzene in the presence of 0.05% tropolone. These compounds were converted into pentyl derivatives with pentyl Grignard reagent and then analysed by capillary gas chromatography with a flame photometric detector equipped with a 393-nm filter. The recoveries of six organotin compounds added to oyster samples ranged from 71 to 74%. The detection limits of butyl- and phenyltin compounds were in the 5-9 pg range as tin. We detected significant amounts of three organotin compounds (di- and tributyltin and triphenyltin) in oyster samples.

Identification of the Major Components of Resina Draconis Extract and Their Metabolites in Rat Urine by LC-ESI-MS n

The aim of our study was to employ a liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization multistage tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS ⁿ ) method for the identification of the major components of Resina Draconis extract (RDE) and their metabolites in rat urine. Based on the above, 18 compounds were tentatively identified from the RDE. Among them, 4 compounds were unambiguously characterized by the comparison of the retention time and mass spectra with those of reference compounds and 14 compounds were tentatively identified by comparing the mass spectra with those of literature. In vivo, 21 compounds, including 13 parent compounds and 8 metabolites, were detected in rat urine after oral administration of RDE. The results may be helpful for future research on traditional Chinese medicine.     

Novel high birefringence bistolane liquid crystals with lateral fluorosubstituent

Twelve compounds based on lateral fluorinated bistolane moieties with cyano or trifluoromethyl terminal groups were synthesised with Hagihara–Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction. The molecular structures of the compounds were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared, ¹H-nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry.

Herein we report the syntheses of highly rigid silicon- and tin-containing cyclic and bicyclic compounds with unsaturated organic backbones. The syntheses proceed via di-lithiated diethynylbenzene derivatives. The protocols for the known precursor compounds were significantly improved in a two-step one-pot reaction with yields up to 45 % by alternating addition of the lithiation reagent and starting material. A total of ten compounds were synthesized and the molecular structure in the solid state was elucidated for six novel compounds. Host-guest-experiments with selected molecules were conducted to investigate on the potential of the complexation of small anions. All compounds were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and elemental analyses or mass spectrometry and in most parts by SC-XRD analyses.

Adsorbed compounds on pine needle surfaces for the environmental monitoring of uranium

In order to examine the feasibility of the adsorbed compounds on the pine needles for environmental monitoring of uranium, the adsorbed compounds were recovered by solvent washing, and the elemental concentrations in the compounds were compared with those of air particles and pine needles. It was found, that the concentration patterns of elements in the compounds corresponded to those of air particles, which meant that the air particles were the main components of the compounds. The analysis by ICP-MS suggested that the uranium in the compounds has a natural composition. Therefore, the adsorbed compounds to the pine needles can be considered as potential indicators for the environmental monitoring of uranium.

Novel RPLC stationary phases for lipophilicity measurement: solvatochromic analysis of retention mechanisms for neutral and basic compounds

An RPLC was developed to rapidly determine lipophilicity of neutral and basic compounds using three base deactivated RPLC stationary phases particularly designed for the analysis of basic compounds, namely, Supelcosil ABZ(+)Plus, Discovery RP Amide C16, and Zorbax Extend C18. The work consisted of three sets of experiments. In the first log kw values of neutral compounds were extrapolated using hydroorganic mobile phases at different compositions. Good correlation between log kw and log Poct indicated that the method was appropriate for these supports, without adding a silanol masking agent. In the second set of experiments, isocratic log k values of neutral and basic compounds were measured with three different mobile phases. The best estimation of lipophilicity was obtained for neutral and basic compounds when the secondary interactions were strongly reduced (i. e., when basic compounds were under their neutral form). In the third set of experiments, isocratic retention factors of basic compounds (in their neutral form) were measured with a high-pH mobile phase, on a chemically stable support (Zorbax Extend C18). Under these chromatographic conditions, correlation between the isocratic retention factors and log Poct (log D10.5) for basic compounds was similar to that for neutral compounds.
