Organic spin-based molecular materials are considered to be attractive for the generation of functional materials with emergent optoelectronic, magnetic, or magneto-conductive properties. However, the major limitations to the utilization of organic spin-based systems are their high reactivity, instability, and propensity for dimerization. Herein, we report the synthesis, characterization, and magnetic and electronic studies of three ambient stable radical ions ( 1 a.+ , 1 b.+ , and 1 c.+ ). The radical ions 1 b.+ and 1 c.+ with BPh4− and BF4− counter anions, respectively, were synthesized in excellent yields by means of anion metathesis of 1 a.+ with Br− as its counter anion. Notably, synthesis of 1 a.+ was achieved in an ecofriendly, solvent-free protocol. The radical ions were characterized by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies, which revealed the discrete nature of the radical ions and extensive hydrogen-bonding interactions within the radical ions and with the counter anions. Thus, radical ions can be organized to form infinite supramolecular arrays using weak noncovalent interactions. In addition, the Br−, BF4−, and BPh4− anions formed diverse types of anion–π interactions with the naphthalene and imide rings of the radical ions. The radical ions were characterized by means of X-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy in solution and in the solid state. Magnetic studies revealed their paramagnetic nature in the range of 10 to 300 K. The radical ions exhibited high resistivity approaching the gigaohm (GΩ) scale. In addition, the radical ions exhibited panchromism. 相似文献
A competent and highly discriminating one-pot synthesis of highly diversified novel functionalized indenoquinoxalone grafted spiropyrrolidine linked chromene-3-carbonitrile conjugates accumulating three pharmocophoric cores, heterocyclic indenoquinoxalone, pyrrolidines and chromene-3-carbonitrile in a single molecular framework by means of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between indenoquinoxalone, proline/benzyl amine and chromene-3-carbonitrile in ethanol under classical and microwave conditions is described. The three component 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction proceeds via in situ generation of azomethine ylides by the decarboxylative condensation of indenoquinoxalone with proline/benzyl amine and their selectivity towards the endo cyclic double bonds of dipolarophile (chromene-3-carbonitrile) leading to the formation of highly functionalised regio- and diastereoselective molecular hybrids. This methodology exemplifies the green chemistry protocol such as mild reaction conditions, high yields, one-pot procedure and operational simplicity. 相似文献
We present a method for simultaneous three-dimensional (3D) structure generation and pharmacophore-based alignment using a self-organizing algorithm called Stochastic Proximity Embedding (SPE). Current flexible molecular alignment methods either start from a single low-energy structure for each molecule and tweak bonds or torsion angles, or choose from multiple conformations of each molecule. Methods that generate structures and align them iteratively (e.g., genetic algorithms) are often slow. In earlier work, we used SPE to generate good-quality 3D conformations by iteratively adjusting pairwise distances between atoms based on a set of geometric rules, and showed that it samples conformational space better and runs faster than earlier programs. In this work, we run SPE on the entire ensemble of molecules to be aligned. Additional information about which atoms or groups of atoms in each molecule correspond to points in the pharmacophore can come from an automatically generated hypothesis or be specified manually. We add distance terms to SPE to bring pharmacophore points from different molecules closer in space, and also to line up normal/direction vectors associated with these points. We also permit pharmacophore points to be constrained to lie near external coordinates from a binding site. The aligned 3D molecular structures are nearly correct if the pharmacophore hypothesis is chemically feasible; postprocessing by minimization of suitable distance and energy functions further improves the structures and weeds out infeasible hypotheses. The method can be used to test 3D pharmacophores for a diverse set of active ligands, starting from only a hypothesis about corresponding atoms or groups. 相似文献
A simple, precise, rapid, and reproducible reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography method is developed for the simultaneous estimation of metformin hydrochloride (MET), pioglitazone hydrochloride (PIO), and glimepiride (GLP) present in multicomponent dosage forms. Chromatography is carried out isocratically at 25 degrees C +/- 0.5 degrees C on an Inertsil-ODS-3 (C-18) Column (250 x 4.60 mm, 5 microm) with a mobile phase composed of methanol-phosphate buffer (pH 4.3) in the ratio of 75:25 v/v at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. Detection is carried out using a UV-PDA detector at 258 nm. Parameters such as linearity, precision, accuracy, recovery, specificity, and ruggedness are studied as reported in the International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. The retention times for MET, PIO, and GLP are 2.66 + 0.5 min, 7.12 + 0.5 min, and 10.17 + 0.5 min, respectively. The linearity range and percentage recoveries for MET, PIO, and GLP are 10-5000, 10-150, and 1-10 microg/mL and 100.4%, 100.06%, and 100.2%, respectively. The correlation coefficients for all components are close to 1. The relative standard deviations for three replicate measurements in three concentrations of samples in tablets are always less than 2%. 相似文献

Herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) employs heparan sulfate (HS) as receptor for cell attachment and entry. During late-stage infection, the virus induces the upregulation of human heparanase (Hpse) to remove cell surface HS allowing viral spread. We hypothesized that inhibition of Hpse will prevent viral release thereby representing a new therapeutic strategy for HSV-1. A range of HS-oligosaccharides was prepared to examine the importance of chain length and 2-O-sulfation of iduronic moieties for Hpse inhibition. It was found that hexa- and octasaccharides potently inhibited the enzyme and that 2-O-sulfation of iduronic acid is tolerated. Computational studies provided a rationale for the observed structure–activity relationship. Treatment of human corneal epithelial cells (HCEs) infected with HSV-1 with the hexa- and octasaccharide blocked viral induced shedding of HS which significantly reduced spread of virions. The compounds also inhibited migration and proliferation of immortalized HCEs thereby providing additional therapeutic properties. 相似文献
Recent studies posit that reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute to the cell lethality of bactericidal antibiotics. However, this conjecture has been challenged and remains controversial. To resolve this controversy, we adopted a strategy that involves DNA polymerase IV (PolIV). The nucleotide pool of the cell gets oxidized by ROS and PolIV incorporates the damaged nucleotides (especially 8oxodGTP) into the genome, which results in death of the bacteria. By using a combination of structural and biochemical tools coupled with growth assays, it was shown that selective perturbation of the 8oxodGTP incorporation activity of PolIV results in considerable enhancement of the survival of bacteria in the presence of the norfloxacin antibiotic. Our studies therefore indicate that ROS induced in bacteria by the presence of antibiotics in the environment contribute significantly to cell lethality. 相似文献
This study presents a custom‐made in situ gelling polymeric precursor for cell encapsulation. Composed of poly((2‐hydroxyethyl)methacrylate‐co‐(3‐aminopropyl)methacrylamide) (P(HEMA‐co‐APM) mother backbone and RGD‐mimicking poly(amidoamine) (PAA) moiteis, the comb‐like structured polymeric precursor is tailored to gather the advantages of the two families of synthetic polymers, i.e., the good mechanical integrity of PHEMA‐based polymers and the biocompatibility and biodegradability of PAAs. The role of P(HEMA‐co‐APM) in the regulation of the chemico‐physical properties of P(HEMA‐co‐APM)/PAA hydrogels is thoroughly investigated. On the basis of obtained results, namely the capability of maintaining vital NIH3T3 cell line in vitro for 2 d in a 3D cell culture, the in vivo biocompatibility in murine model for 16 d, and the ability of finely tuning mechanical properties and degradation kinetics, it can be assessed that P(HEMA‐co‐APM)/PAAs offer a cost‐effective valid alternative to the so far studied natural polymer‐based systems for cell encapsulation.
