Isoform Selective PI3K-beta Inhibitors

Although PI3K/AKT has undoubtedly been one of the most important pathways that impact tumorigenesis and proliferation, PI3K‐beta has not been considered as a stand‐alone target for potential cancer treatment until the recent discovery of the key role that PI3K‐beta plays in phosphatase and TENsin homolog (PTEN)‐deficient tumors. Medicinal chemistry efforts from the pharmaceutical industry and academia in the past few years have led to significant advancements in understanding beta isoform selectivity and in the development of a clinical drug candidate.

聚乙烯吡咯烷酮对Pt/Ru双金属纳米簇的结构和催化性能影响

以乙二醇为还原剂,通过微波热辐射制备得到稳定的Pt/Ru双金属胶体纳米簇,各颗粒粒径在1~2nm范围。考察了聚合物聚乙烯吡咯烷酮（PVP）对Pt/Ru双金属纳米簇表面原子组成及催化性能的影响。结果表明,PVP与金属前体之间的不同相互作用影响Pt/Ru双金属纳米簇的形成。在Pt/Ru双金属纳米簇形成之前加入PVP,Pt原子更容易富集在双金属表面,有利于增加Pt在催化反应中的作用。在PVP稳定的Pt/Ru双金属纳米簇中,除了零价态的Pt、Ru单质外,还存在氧化态的Pt化合物,归因于PVP与Pt前体的相互作用。在环己烯加氢反应中,PVP-Pt/Ru双金属纳米簇显示出比单金属纳米簇更优越的催化性能。     

四种呋喃香豆素类药物与溶菌酶的作用机制及构效关系研究

在模拟人体生理条件下,采用紫外光谱法、荧光光谱法、同步荧光光谱法和圆二色谱法相结合研究了4种呋喃香豆素类药物与溶菌酶(LYSO)的相互作用机制,并探讨了其构效关系。紫外光谱结果初步显示,4种呋喃香豆素类药物与LYSO发生相互作用。荧光光谱结果表明,4种呋喃香豆素类药物对LYSO的内源荧光均有显著的猝灭作用,猝灭机制主要为静态猝灭和非辐射能量转移。4种呋喃香豆素类药物与LYSO均形成1∶1复合物,且在310 K温度下与LYSO的结合常数K分别为1.02×104、6.95×104、7.05×104、8.60×104L.mol-1,结合距离r分别为4.36、4.75、5.25、5.89 nm,其作用力主要为氢键和范德华力。呋喃环和甲氧基位置的不同导致了4种呋喃香豆素类药物与溶菌酶的作用强弱不同,其作用力顺序为:8-甲氧基补骨脂素>5-甲氧基补骨脂素>异补骨脂素>补骨脂素。圆二色谱结果表明,4种呋喃香豆素类药物与LYSO相互作用后均对LYSO的二级结构产生不同程度的影响。补骨脂素、异补骨脂素、5-甲氧基补骨脂素和8-甲氧基补骨脂素分别使得LYSO中α-螺旋结构的含量降低了27.1%、11.5%、10.6%和0.917%。同步荧光光谱结果显示,补骨脂素、5-甲氧基补骨脂素和8-甲氧基补骨脂素与LYSO相互作用后均对LYSO的构象产生影响,而异补骨脂素则对LYSO的构象影响较小。     

Design of topological indices: computer-oriented approach

A novel method is suggested for constructing topological indices (TIs) of molecular graphs which models human logic. This method is described in terms of a block scheme, consisting of the mutually connected elementary blocks. In each block the simple transformations of a molecular graph are fulfilled. A variant of the transformation is selected from the list of possible variants. Every TI is obtained as a result of the sequential execution of a number of operations, corresponding to some ‘walk’ on the block scheme. This walk can be selected both randomly and by the investigator. The suggested method can serve as a basis for the development of the respective computer program which may be used for the automatic construction of any number of TIs of differing nature. By this process one can also obtain the TIs that are unlikely to be constructed manually, due to their complexity. The set of obtained TIs may be used for building the structure–property models. In the case of an unsatisfactory result the obtained set of TIs may be changed using the described generator of TIs. A number of examples of application of the suggested approach for the building QSAR/QSPR models is given.     

The Application of Structure-Activity Relationships (SARs) in the Aquatic Toxicity Evaluation of Discrete Organic Chemicals

Abstract

The Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT), United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) routinely uses structure-activity relationships (SAR) for the aquatic hazard assessment of new chemicals submitted under Section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). With 15 years of experience and the general acceptance of toxicity predictions based on SARs, OPPT has expanded the use and application of the methodology to include existing chemicals used in printing, dry cleaning, and paint stripping. SAR analysis has also been used in the hazard evaluation of the U.S. and EU/OECD high production volume (HPV) chemicals. This paper describes the assumptions, limitations, and methodology for the use of SARs to evaluate large sets of discrete organic chemicals.     

7-羟基异黄酮及其衍生物的合成与选择性雌激素受体结合的构效关系研究

以多酚类化合物和多取代苯乙酸类化合物为原料,用一锅法合成了24个7-羟基异黄酮类化合物;并从一锅法制得的3d,3g经脱除甲基得到两个2'-羟基取代的异黄酮化合物4a和4b.雌激素受体(Estrogen receptors,ERs)的选择性结合活性试验表明:26个化合物(包括4个新化合物3r,3s,3u和3v)中,9个化合物与ERβ相对于ERα的选择性作用强于染料木素(Genistein);发现7,8-二羟基异黄酮类化合物与ERβ相对结合能力高于相应7-羟基异黄酮类化合物;4'取代基对化合物与ERβ结合相对于ERα的选择性影响从大到小为:H>Cl>F>OH;2',3'及5'位取代基降低异黄酮对ERα和ERβ的亲和性.     

4, 6-二芳基-2-氨基嘧啶类衍生物的合成与生物活性

合成并表征了5种4,6-二芳基-2-氨基嘧啶类化合物。 测试了它们对大肠肝菌甲硫酰胺肽酶(EcMetAP)的抑制作用及对CXCR4受体的拮抗作用。 发现5种化合物均对EcMetAP酶活有抑制作用,除化合物2外均对CXCR4受体有拮抗作用。 利用FieldTemplater和FieldAlign软件对化合物1～5的上述活性构效关系进行了分析,初步认为化合物的嘧啶环3位N原子及4位取代苯环上若引入给电子基团,可增强这类化合物的EcMetAP酶抑制活性;在嘧啶环2位引入负电性较强的基团取代,改造2个苯环和嘧啶环的4、5、6位Ｃ原子的结构可增强其CXCR4受体拮抗活性。
