Tributylstibine-mediated olefination of carbonyl compounds with bromomalonic ester and with dibromomalonic ester—A possible pathway through a stibonium ylide via halophilic initiation by tertiary stibines

Tributylstibine can mediate the olefination of carbonyl compounds with bromomalonic ester and with dibromomalonic ester. An initial halophilic attack of tributylstibine on the bromine of bromomalonic or dibromomalonic ester forming an ion pair of bromotributylstibonium cation and malonic (A) or bromomalonic ester carbanion (B) , respectively, is proposed. These ion pairs react with carbonyl compounds to achieve subsequent olefination. Alternatively, 2 equiv of A collapse, with elimination of malonic ester, to form stiborane D , and the ion pair B reacts with another equivalent of tributylstibine to form stiborane D. This last undergoes a Wittig-type reaction with carbonyl compound to achieve olefination.     

An Improved Approach for Practical Synthesis of 5-Hydroxymethyl-2′-deoxycytidine (5hmdC) Phosphoramidite and Triphosphate

5-Hydroxymethyl-2′-deoxycytidine (5hmdC) phosphoramidite and triphosphate are important building blocks in 5hmdC-containing DNA synthesis for epigenetic studies. However, efficient and practical methods for the synthesis of these compounds are still limited. The current research provides an intensively improved synthetic method that enables the preparation of commercially available cyanoethyl-protected 5hmdC phosphoramidite with an overall yield of 39% on 5 g scale. On the basis of facile and efficient accesses to cyanoethyl protected-5hmdU and 5hmdC intermediates, two efficient synthetic routes for 5hmdC triphosphate were also developed.     

Prediction of Compound Synthesis Accessibility Based on Reaction Knowledge Graph

With the increasing application of deep-learning-based generative models for de novo molecule design, the quantitative estimation of molecular synthetic accessibility (SA) has become a crucial factor for prioritizing the structures generated from generative models. It is also useful for helping in the prioritization of hit/lead compounds and guiding retrosynthesis analysis. In this study, based on the USPTO and Pistachio reaction datasets, a chemical reaction network was constructed for the identification of the shortest reaction paths (SRP) needed to synthesize compounds, and different SRP cut-offs were then used as the threshold to distinguish a organic compound as either an easy-to-synthesize (ES) or hard-to-synthesize (HS) class. Two synthesis accessibility models (DNN-ECFP model and graph-based CMPNN model) were built using deep learning/machine learning algorithms. Compared to other existing synthesis accessibility scoring schemes, such as SYBA, SCScore, and SAScore, our results show that CMPNN (ROC AUC: 0.791) performs better than SYBA (ROC AUC: 0.76), albeit marginally, and outperforms SAScore and SCScore. Our prediction models based on historical reaction knowledge could be a potential tool for estimating molecule SA.     

AQP4 Attenuated TRAF6/NFκB Activation in Acrylamide-Induced Neurotoxicity

Acrylamide (ACR) is present in high-temperature-processed high-carbohydrate foods, cigarette smoke, and industrial pollution. Chronic exposure to ACR may induce neurotoxicity from reactive oxygen species (ROS); however, the mechanisms underlying ACR-induced neurotoxicity remain unclear. We studied 28-day subacute ACR toxicity by repeatedly feeding ACR (0, 15, or 30 mg/kg) to rats. We conducted RNA sequencing and Western blot analyses to identify differences in mRNA expression in the blood and in protein expression in the brain tissues, respectively, of the rats. AQP4 transient transfection was performed to identify potential associations with protein regulation. The rats treated with 30 mg/kg ACR exhibited hind-limb muscle weakness. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP9) expression was higher in the ACR-treated group than in the control group. ACR induced MMP-9 and AQP4 protein expression in the brain tissues of the rats, which subsequently presented with neurotoxicity. In the in vitro study, Neuro-2a cells were transiently transfected with AQP4, which inhibited MMP-9 and TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) expression, and inhibited ACR induced expression of TRAF6, IκBα, and nuclear factor κB (NFκB). Using a combination of in vivo and in vitro experiments, this study revealed that depressive symptoms associated with ACR-induced neurotoxicity are associated with downregulation of AQP4 and induction of the TRAF6 pathway.
