Novel design of a pentacyclic scaffold as structural mimic of saframycin A

The design, synthesis and evaluation of a pentacyclic scaffold, CWO-324 to mimic saframycin A is described. CWO-324 is readily synthesized in five steps from 1,4-diacetyl-piperazine-2,5-dione and 2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde. CWO-324 was found to scission DNA, binds to bases 69-83(5′-GCAGTCAGG CACCGT-3′) of Hind III/Rsa I from plasmid pBR322 DNA in a foot-printing study and possesses anti-tumor activity.     

The Tolman length: is it positive or negative?

By means of a large-scale molecular dynamics simulation, we show that the Tolman length, although positive, is much smaller in magnitude than previously reported. We found that the range of interparticle interaction can significantly affect the magnitude of the Tolman length. When the range of interaction is longer than five molecular diameters, the Tolman length is on the order of a few hundredths of the molecular diameter, rather than a few tenths known previously.     

一种新型两性表面活性剂的合成

Measuring intracellular calcium fluxes in high throughput mode

The measurement of intracellular calcium fluxes in real time is widely applied within the pharmaceutical industry to measure the activation of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRhyp;s), either for pharmacological characterisation or to screen for new surrogate ligands. Initially restricted to G(q) coupled GPCRs, the introduction of promiscuous and chimeric G-proteins has further widened the application of these assays. The development of new calcium sensitive dyes and assays has provided sensitive, homogeneous assays which can be readily applied to high throughput screening (HTS). In this paper we describe the full automation of this assay type using a fluorometric imaging plate reader (FLIPR ) integrated into a Beckman/Sagian system to establish a simple robotic system that is well suited for the current medium throughput screening in this area of lead discovery. Using a recently completed HTS we discuss important determinants for FLIPR based screening, highlight some limitations of the current approach, and look at the requirements for future automated systems capable of keeping up with expanding compound files.     

Investigations in the field of vinyl ethers and esters of the furan series

Vinyl-furancarboxylate has been synthesized by the reaction of-furancarboxylic acid with acetylene and with vinyl acetate in the presence of various catalysts. The structure of the vinyl ester has been confirmed by IR spectra and by catalytic hydrogenation. The acid and alkaline hydrolyses of vinyl-furancarboxylate have been studied.

A Novel Green Synthesis of Quinolines through Acid-catalyzed Friedlander Reaction in Ionic Liquids

Quinoline derivatives were efficiently prepared through acid-catalyzed Friedlander reaction in ionic liquid ([bmim] [BF4]). It is shown that the proposed method is operationally simple and environmentally benign in that the reaction media and the catalyst can be recovered and be reused effectively for at least four times.
