A unified and quantitative receptor model for the microtubule binding of paclitaxel and epothilone

[formula: see text] Paclitaxel and epothilone represent the two major classes of antimicrotubule agents that promote tubulin polymerization and, presumably, mitotic arrest during cell division. A common minireceptor binding site model at beta-tubulin has been constructed for these structurally divergent compounds. Utilizing 20 amino acids identified in photoaffinity labeling experiments, the 3-D model correlates measured and predicted Ki's with r = 0.99 and rms(delta Gcalc-delta Gexp) = 0.2 kcal/mol. In addition, the model predicts the affinity of compounds not used in the training set and explains much of the SAR for the paclitaxel and epothilone families.

均相催化剂催化合成碳酸亚丙酯

分别就单组为催化剂和双组分催化剂对二氧化碳与环氧丙烷合成碳酸亚丙酯的催化活性进行了研究。实验结果表明，在单组分催化体系中，相转移催化剂，如十六烷基三甲基漠化按、四丁基演化铵对上述酯化反应具有较高的催化活性此外，盐酸羟胺、三苯基磷也有一定的催化活性；在双组分催化体系中，KI／PEG（聚乙二醇）体系具有很高的催化活性，能在较短时间内、较低的压力下高产率地得到碳酸亚丙酯，而某些金属盐、有机碱、季接盐的适当红合，也能有效地催化该反应。     

过硼酸钠对于有机物的氧化作用的研究——Ⅰ.过硼酸钠对于芳胺和芳硫醚的氧化作用

在有机合成中,过硼酸钠用作氧化剂的实例虽为数不多,但其优点已很明显,例如反应条件温和、选择性强、毒性低、价廉,且过硼酸钠还原后生成无毒的硼酸钠,易于处理或排放。因而过硼酸钠是一种很值得研究的新型氧化剂。水文报道了过硼酸钠对于芳胺(邻-和对-硝基苯胺)及含有吸电子基的芳硫醚的氧化作用:

The radical cation of syn-tricyclooctadiene and its rearrangement products

The syn dimer of cyclobutadiene (tricyclo[4.2.0.0(2.5)]octa-3,7-diene, TOD) is subjected to ionization under different conditions and the resulting species are probed by optical and ESR spectroscopy. By means of quantum chemical modelling of the potential energy surfaces and the optical spectra, it is possible to assign the different products that arise spontaneously after ionization or after subsequent warming or illumination of the samples. Based on these findings, we propose a mechanistic scheme which involves a partitioning of the incipient radical cation of TOD between two electronic states. These two states engage in (near) activation-less decay to the more stable valence isomers, cyclooctatetraene (COT*+) and a bis-cyclobutenylium radical cation BCB*+. The latter product undergoes further rearrangement, first to tetracyclo[4.2.0.0(2,4).0(3,5]oct-7-ene (TCO*+) and eventually to bicyclo[4.2.0]octa-2,4,7-triene (BOT*+) which can also be generated photochemically from BCB*+ or TCO*+. The surprising departure of syn-TOD*+ from the least-motion reaction path leading to BOT*+ can be traced to strong vibronic interactions (second-order Jahn-Teller effects) which prevail in both possible ground states of syn-TOD*+. Such effects seem to be more important in determining the intramolecular reactivity of radical cations than orbital or state symmetry rules.

A novel small-molecule near-infrared II fluorescence probe for orthotopic osteosarcoma imaging

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant tumor of bone, particularly among children and adolescents. Advances in imaging, surgical techniques, and implants have dramatically reduced the need for amputation in the past three decades.Recently, in vivo fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared window(NIR-II, 1,000–1,700 nm) shows impressive advantages of deeper tissue penetration and higher spatial resolution, which makes it a promising tool for the early diagnosis and post-operative observation of Osteosarcoma. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first time to develop a novel NIR-II fluorescence probe conjugated with an osteosarcoma targeted oligopeptide for molecular tumor imaging in a xenograft orthotopic osteosarcoma mouse model.
