Oligomerization and Polymerization of Ethylene Initiated by a Novel Ni(Ⅱ)-Based Acetyliminopyridine Complexes as Single-Site Catalysts

Novel Ni(Ⅱ)-based acetyliminopyridine complexes 1b, 2b, 3b (1-3b), which are synthesized from ligands 1a, 2a, 3a (1-3a) and [NiCl2(DME)], are suitable precursors for the catalysts that are necessary for ethylene oligomerization and polymerization reactions, activated by methylaluminoxane (MAO). The MAO-treated 1-3b presents an active catalytic center, which may oligomerize and polymerize ethylene to produce linearα-olefins and polyethylene, respectively. The molecular weight distributions of oligomers that are obtained are in good agreement with the Schulz-Flory rules for oligomers>C4. The activity of 3b-MAO complex is 6.3×107 g/(molNi·h) at 50℃. The activities and molecular weight distributions of oligomers show significant reliance on the structures of catalyst precursors.     

Soluble factor from tumor cells induces heme oxygenase-1 by a nitric oxide-independent mechanism in murine peritoneal macrophages

Tumor target-derived soluble secretary factor has been known to influence macrophage activation to induce nitric oxide (NO) production. Since heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is induced by a variety of conditions associated with oxidative stress, we questioned whether soluble factor from tumor cells induces HO-1 through NO-dependent mechanism in macrophages. We designated this factor as a tumor-derived macrophage-activating factor (TMAF), because of its ability to activate macrophages to induce iNOS. Although TMAF alone showed modest activity, TMAF in combination with IFN-gamma significantly induced iNOS expression and NO synthesis. Simultaneously, TMAF induced HO-1 and this induction was slightly augmented by IFN-gamma. Surprisingly, however, induction of HO-1 by TMAF was not inhibited by the treatment with the highly selective iNOS inhibitor, 1400 W, indicating that TMAF induces the HO-1 enzyme by a NO-independent mechanism. While rIFN-gamma alone induced iNOS, it had no effect on HO-1 induction by itself. Collectively, the current study reveals that soluble factor from tumor target cells induces HO-1 enzyme in macrophages. However, overall biological significance of this phenomenon remains to be determined.     

Selective interactions of cationic porphyrins with G-quadruplex structures

G-quadruplex DNA presents a potential target for the design and development of novel anticancer drugs. Because G-quadruplex DNA exhibits structural polymorphism, different G-quadruplex typologies may be associated with different cellular processes. Therefore, to achieve therapeutic selectivity using G-quadruplexes as targets for drug design, it will be necessary to differentiate between different types of G-quadruplexes using G-quadruplex-interactive agents. In this study, we compare the interactions of three cationic porphyrins, TMPyP2, TMPyP3, and TMPyP4, with parallel and antiparallel types of G-quadruplexes using gel mobility shift experiments and a helicase assay. Gel mobility shift experiments indicate that TMPyP3 specifically promotes the formation of parallel G-quadruplex structures. A G-quadruplex helicase unwinding assay reveals that the three porphyrins vary dramatically in their abilities to prevent the unwinding of both the parallel tetrameric G-quadruplex and the antiparallel hairpin dimer G-quadruplex DNA by yeast Sgs1 helicase (Sgs1p). For the parallel G-quadruplex, TMPyP3 has the strongest inhibitory effect on Sgs1p, followed by TMPyP4, but the reverse is true for the antiparallel G-quadruplex. TMPyP2 does not appear to have any effect on the helicase-catalyzed unwinding of either type of G-quadruplex. Photocleavage experiments were carried out to investigate the binding modes of all three porphyrins with parallel G-quadruplexes. The results reveal that TMPyP3 and TMPyP4 appear to bind to parallel G-quadruplex structures through external stacking at the ends rather than through intercalation between the G-tetrads. Since intercalation between G-tetrads has been previously proposed as an alternative binding mode for TMPyP4 to G-quadruplexes, this mode of binding, versus that determined by a photocleavage assay described here (external stacking), was subjected to molecular dynamics calculations to identify the relative stabilities of the complexes and the factors that contribute to these differences. The DeltaG(o) for the external binding mode was found to be driven by DeltaH(o) with a small unfavorable TDeltaS(o) term. The DeltaG(o) for the intercalation binding model was driven by a large TDeltaS(o) term and complemented by a small DeltaH(o) term. One of the main stabilizing components of the external binding model is the energy of solvation, which favors the external model over the intercalation model by -67.94 kcal/mol. Finally, we propose that intercalative binding, although less favored than external binding, may occur, but because of the nature of the intercalative binding, it is invisible to the photocleavage assay. This study provides the first experimental insight into how selectivity might be achieved for different G-quadruplexes by using structural variants within a single group of G-quadruplex-interactive drugs.

Structures, relative stability and dissociation of [Si,N,C,O]2+ isomers

Fifteen isomers of [Si,N,C,O]²⁺ system are obtained at UB3LYP/6-311G(d) and UCCSD(T)/6-311+G(2df) (single-point) levels. The analyses are made for predicting the structures of optimized isomers, while ionic fragments with lower energies are suggested. The calculated results indicate that linear isomer SiNCO²⁺(²Π) is thermodynamically the most stable species in [Si,N,C,O]²⁺ system, followed by linear SiOCN²⁺ (²Π), SiCNO²⁺ (²Π), and SiC(NO) (²A) with NCO three-membered ring. The order of stability of several kinetically stable isomers is SiNCO²> SiCNO²⁺ (²Π)>SiOCN²⁺>SiC(NO)²⁺>OSiNC²⁺ (²Π). The obtained results by analyzing the isomerizations and ionic fragment patterns show that the signal peaks of [Si,N,C,O]²⁺ are attributed to the contribution of linear SiNCO²⁺ species, which is metastable and can dissociate to the ionic fragments in the mass spectrometry experiments.
