Synthesis and CDK2 kinase inhibitory activity of 7/7′-azaindirubin derivatives

A series of novel 7′-azaindirubin (1a-g) and 7-azaindirubin (2a, 2c, 2e and 2f) derivatives were designed and synthesized. Their structures were characterized by 1H NMR and MS spectroscopy as well as by elemental analysis. Their inhibitory properties against CDK2/cylinA were evaluated in vitro. In contrast to indirubin, some of the described azaindirubins emerged as potent inhibitors of CDK2/cylinA and compound 2b had more potent activity. Biological tests also showed that nitrogen atom at 7-position of azaindirubin was more beneficial to enhance the kinase inhibitory activity.

One Step Preparation of Reduced Graphene Oxide/Pd–Fe3O4@Polypyrrole Composites and Their Application in Catalysis

The simple preparation of catalysts with superior catalytic activity and good reusability is highly desirable. Herein, we report a novel strategy to construct reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/Pd–Fe₃O₄@polypyrrole (PPy) catalysts with Pd and Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles anchored on a rGO nanosheet surface and wrapped in a PPy shell. The synthesis and assembly of both the Pd and Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles, the preparation of the PPy layer, and the reduction of graphene oxide nanosheets were finished in one step. In the system, the PPy layer not only prevented aggregation of Pd and Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles, but also generated a synergistic effect with precursor Pd²⁺ ions, which led to a high dispersity of as‐prepared Pd nanoparticles. Although the procedure was simplified to one step, the catalytic activity and reusability were not sacrificed. In the reduction of 4‐nitrophenol, their catalytic performance was better than that in recent reports. Moreover, the catalysts showed good reusability owing to their magnetic properties.     

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy based on conical holed enhancing substrates

In this contribution, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) based on conical holed glass substrates deposited with silver colloids was reported for the first time. It combines the advantages of both dry SERS assays based on plane films deposited with silver colloids and wet SERS assays utilizing cuvettes or capillary tubes. Compared with plane glass substrates deposited with silver colloids, the conical holed glass substrates deposited with silver colloids exhibited five-to ten-folds of increase in the rate of signal enhancement, due to the internal multiple reflections of both the excitation laser beam and the Raman scattering photons within conical holes. The application of conical holed glass substrates could also yield significantly stronger and more reproducible SERS signals than SERS assays utilizing capillary tubes to sample the mixture of silver colloids and the solution of the analyte of interest. The conical holed glass substrates in combination with the multiplicative effects model for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (MEM_SERS) achieved quite sensitive and precise quantification of 6-mercaptopurine in complex plasma samples with an average relative prediction error of about 4% and a limit of detection of about 0.02 μM using a portable i-Raman 785H spectrometer. It is reasonable to expect that SERS technique based on conical holed enhancing substrates in combination with MEM_SERS model can be developed and extended to other application areas such as drug detection, environmental monitoring, and clinic analysis, etc.     

Identification of Structure–Activity Relationships from Screening a Structurally Compact DNA‐Encoded Chemical Library

Methods for the rapid and inexpensive discovery of hit compounds are essential for pharmaceutical research and DNA‐encoded chemical libraries represent promising tools for this purpose. We here report on the design and synthesis of DAL‐100K, a DNA‐encoded chemical library containing 103 200 structurally compact compounds. Affinity screening experiments and DNA‐sequencing analysis provided ligands with nanomolar affinities to several proteins, including prostate‐specific membrane antigen and tankyrase 1. Correlations of sequence counts with binding affinities and potencies of enzyme inhibition were observed and enabled the identification of structural features critical for activity. These results indicate that libraries of this type represent a useful source of small‐molecule binders for target proteins of pharmaceutical interest and information on structural features important for binding.     

Direct Insight into the Three‐Dimensional Internal Morphology of Solid–Liquid–Vapor Interfaces at Microscale

Solid–liquid–vapor interfaces dominated by the three‐phase contact line, usually performing as the active center in reactions, are important in biological and industrial processes. In this contribution, we provide direct three‐dimensional (3D) experimental evidence for the inside morphology of interfaces with either Cassie or Wenzel states at micron level using X‐ray micro‐computed tomography, which allows us to accurately “see inside” the morphological structures and quantitatively visualize their internal 3D fine structures and phases in intact samples. Furthermore, the in‐depth measurements revealed that the liquid randomly and partly located on the top of protrusions on the natural and artificial superhydrophobic surfaces in Cassie regime, resulting from thermodynamically optimal minimization of the surface energy. These new findings are useful for the optimization of classical wetting theories and models, which should promote the surface scientific and technological developments.     

On the Role of the Electronic Structure of the Heteronuclear Oxide Cluster [Ga2Mg2O5].+ in the Thermal Activation of Methane and Ethane: An Unusual Doping Effect

The reactivity of the heteronuclear oxide cluster [Ga₂Mg₂O₅]^.+, bearing an unpaired electron at a bridging oxygen atom (O_b^.?), towards methane and ethane has been studied using Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT‐ICR‐MS). Hydrogen‐atom transfer (HAT) from both methane and ethane to the cluster ion is identified experimentally. The reaction mechanisms of these reactions are elucidated by state‐of‐the‐art quantum chemical calculations. The roles of spin density and charge distributions in HAT processes, as revealed by theory, not only deepen our mechanistic understanding of C? H bond activation but also provide important guidance for the rational design of catalysts by pointing to the particular role of doping effects.     

Copper(I)-1,1,1-tris(diphenylphosphinomethyl)ethane complexes with different coordination modes tuned by auxiliary ligands and their spectroscopic properties

Three mono-, bi- and tetranuclear copper(I) complexes, [Cu(phen)(triphos-O)]BF₄ (1) (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, triphos = 1,1,1-tris(diphenylphosphinomethyl)ethane), [Cu₂(bipy)(triphos)₂](BF₄)₂ (2) (bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine), and [Cu₄(MeOC^N^N)₄(triphos)₂(bipy)](BF₄)₄ (3) (MeOC^N^N = 6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,2′-bipyridine), have been synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy, electrospray ionization, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometries, elemental analysis, and X-ray crystal analysis. The crystal structure investigation revealed the copper ions of the complexes have pseudo-tetrahedral coordination geometry. The electronic absorption spectra of 1, 2, and 3 contain low-energy bands at 350–500 and 400–650 nm, which are assigned to d(Cu) → π*(phen or bipy) and a mixture of d(Cu) → π*(MeOC^N^N) and d(Cu) → π*(bipy) transitions, respectively. Complex 2 displays a strong, long-lived solid-state emission with a maximum at 555 nm and lifetime of 13.6 μs at room temperature. Photoinduced electron-transfer properties of 2 and 3 involving nanosecond time-resolved absorption spectroscopy and electron spin resonance techniques were studied.
