The hexanary assembly originates from the observation that the binary salts of naftopidil with the above acids are isostructural. In addition to the 6-component solid, we also describe five 5-component, ten 4-component, and ten 3-component organic-salt alloys of naftopidil (1) with carboxylic acids (2)-(6). These alloys were obtained from different combinations of the acids with the drug. The synthetic design of the multicomponent organic alloys is based on the rationale of geometrical factors (shape and size) and chemical interactions (hydrogen bonds). The common supramolecular synthon in all these crystal structures was the cyclic N+ - H center dot center dot center dot O- and O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen-bonded motif of R-2(2) (9) graph set between the 2-hydroxyammonium group of naftopidil and the carboxylate anion. This ionic synthon is strong and robust, directing the isostructural assembly of naftopidil with up to five different carboxylic acids in the crystal structure together with the lower-level multicomponent adducts. Solution crystallization by slow evaporation provided the multicomponent organic salts and alloys which were characterized by a combination of single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, NMR and differential scanning calorimetry techniques.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6.544</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Das, Tamal Kanti</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ghosh, Avik</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Balanna, Kuruva</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Behera, Pradipta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gonnade, Rajesh G.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marelli, Udaya Kiran</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Das, Abhijit Kumar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biju, Akkattu T.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">N-Heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed umpolung of imines for the enantioselective synthesis of dihydroquinoxalines</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ACS Catalysis</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">dihydroquinoxalines</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">imines</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">N-heterocyclic carbenes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">organocatalysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">umpolung</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2019</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MAY</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4065-4071</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis is widely employed for the umpolung of aldehydes and recently to the umpolung of Michael acceptors and aldimines.

Among the RGD-recognizing integrin subtypes, the alpha v beta 8 receptor is emerging as an attractive target because of its involvement in various illnesses, such as autoimmune diseases, viral infections, and cancer. However, its functions have, so far, not been investigated in living subjects mainly because of the lack of a selective alpha v beta 8 ligand. Here, we report the design and potential medical applications of a cyclic octapeptide as the first highly selective small-molecule ligand for alpha v beta 8. Remarkably, this compound displays low nanomolar alpha v beta 8 binding affinity and a strong discriminating power of at least 2 orders of magnitude versus other RGD-recognizing integrins. Peptide functionalization with fluorescent or radioactive labels enables the selective imaging of alpha v beta 8-positive cells and tissues. This new probe will pave the way for detailed characterization of the distinct (patho)physiological role of this relatively unexplored integrin, providing a basis to fully exploit the potential of alpha v beta 8 as a target for molecular diagnostics and personalized therapy regimens.&lt;/p&gt;

The potency of EGCG in altering the PHF assembly of full-length human Tau has not been fully explored. By various biophysical and biochemical analyses like ThS fluorescence assay, MALDI-TOF analysis and Isothermal Titration Calorimetry, we demonstrate dual effect of EGCG on aggregation inhibition and disassembly of full-length Tau and their binding affinity.

It consists of two catalytic deacetylase domains and a unique zinc finger ubiquitin binding protein domain, which sets it apart from other HDACs. HDAC6 is known to regulate cellular activities by modifying the function of microtubules, HSP90, and cortactin through deacetylation. Apart from the catalytic activity of HDAC6, it interacts with other proteins through either the SE14 domain or the ZnF UBP domain to modulate their functions. Here, we have studied the role of the HDAC6 ZnF UBP domain as a modifier of Tau aggregation by its direct interaction with the polyproline region/repeat region of Tau. Interaction of HDAC6 ZnF UBP with Tau was found to reduce the propensity of Tau to self-aggregate and to disaggregate preformed aggregates in a concentration-dependent manner and also bring about the conformational changes in Tau protein. The interaction of HDAC6 ZnF UBP with Tau results in its degradation, suggesting either proteolytic activity of HDAC6 ZnF UBP or its role in enhancing autoproteolysis of Tau.&lt;/p&gt;

In Alzheimer's disease, Tau self-assembles to form intracellular protein aggregates which are toxic to cells. Various methods have been tried and tested to restrain the aggregation of Tau. Most of the agents tested for this purpose have limitations in their effectiveness and availability to neuronal cells. We have tested melatonin, a neurohormone secreted by pineal gland and a well-known anti-oxidant, for its ability to interact with the repeat domain of Tau using ITC and NMR. In aggregation inhibition and disaggregation studies of repeat Tau, melatonin was found to modulate the aggregation propensity of repeat Tau at a concentration of 5000 mu M and was more effective in dissolving preformed aggregates rather than acting as an aggregation inhibitor. However, there were no major conformational changes in Tau in presence of melatonin as observed by CD spectroscopy. On the basis of our findings, we are proposing a mechanism by which melatonin can interact with the repeat domain of Tau and exhibit its disaggregation effect.&lt;/p&gt;

We have incorporated various unnatural lipophilic amino acids into the cyclic RGD framework of cilengitide, which is selective for alpha nu beta(3) integrin. All the newly synthesized cyclic peptides were evaluated in vitro solid phase binding assay and investigated for their binding behaviour towards integrin subtypes. All the cyclic peptides were synthesized in excellent yield following solution-phase coupling strategy. The cyclic RGD peptides 1a-e exhibited IC50 of 9.9, 5.5, 72, 11 and 3.3 nM, respectively, towards a alpha nu beta(3) integrin protein. This finding offers further opportunities for the introduction unusual amino acids into the cyclic peptide framework of cilengitide.&lt;/p&gt;

	In this work, we demonstrate a simple sol-gel technique to prepare metal-ion(s)-doped ceria-zirconia solid solution for efficient catalytic methane activation. The cation -depicting formula units are Ce0.80Zr0.20 (CZ), Ce0.79Zr0.20M0.01 (CZM), and Ce0.79Zr0.20M0.005M10.005 (CZMM1) (M and M1 = V, Mn, Fe, Co, and Cu), employed for undoped, mono-metal-ion -doped, and bi-metal-ion-doped solid solutions, respectively. Methane activation with Mn, Fe, Cu mono-metal-ion-doped CZ favors the C1 product, while CZCo assists C-C coupling with the formation of acetaldehyde. On the other hand, the Co-and Fe -doped bi-metal-ion combination catalyst (CZCoFe) shows significant ethanol but predominant formic acid formation. This is further promoted by the Co + V bi-metal-ion combination (CZCoV) catalyst, and it shows ethanol as the major product along with methyl hydrogen peroxide, methanol, and formic acid as minor products. An impressive ethanol yield of 93 mu mol/g h with 76% selectivity obtained with the CZCoV catalyst is at par with that obtained with noble-metal-based catalysts under comparable reaction conditions. When Co and V content was increased two and four times from 0.005 to 0.01 and 0.02, ethanol yield increased at the expense of formic acid. The 213 mu mol/g h ethanol yield (86% selectivity) observed with Ce0.76Zr0.20Co0.02V0.02 is probably the highest observed. The partial oxidation of CH4 in Co-based bi-metal combinations (Co + V or Co + Fe) suggests the synergistic effect of doped metal ions owing to the heterogeneous near -neighbor environment. The present results are attributed to the surface heterogeneity between the host and the dopants, which selectively promotes methane activation as well as C-C coupling. This indicates a large scope to tune the activity of partial oxidation of methane and product selectivity with different metal-ion(s) combinations.&lt;/p&gt;

	The first total synthesis of icosalide A, an antibacterial depsipeptide that is unique in that it contains two lipophilic beta-hydroxy acids, has been achieved by following Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis in combination with solution-phase synthesis. The ambiguity in the absolute stereochemistry of icosalide A has been resolved by synthesizing the reported structures and other relevant diastereomers of icosalides and comparing their NMR data. NMR-based structure elucidation of icosalide A revealed a well-folded structure with cross-strand hydrogen bonds similar to the anti-parallel beta-sheet conformation in peptides and displayed a synergistic juxtaposition of the aliphatic sidechains. 12 analogues of icosalide A were synthesized by varying the constituent lipophilic beta-hydroxy acid residues, and their biological activities against Bacillus thuringiensis and Paenibacillus dendritiformis were explored. Most of these icosalide analogues showed an MIC of 12.5 &amp;amp; mu;g mL(-1) against both bacteria. Swarming inhibition by icosalides was least in B. thuringiensis (8.3%) compared to that in P. dendritiformis (33%). Furthermore, this is the first report of icosalides showing assured inhibitory action (MIC between 2 and 10 &amp;amp; mu;g mL(-1)) against the active stage of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and cancer cell lines such as HeLa and ThP1. This study could help optimize icosalides for anti-TB, antibacterial, and anti-cancer activities.&lt;/p&gt;

Additionally, we showcase the applicability of this methodology in solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) to introduce the oxazine heterocyclic ring into short peptides containing serine and threonine. Notably, Rink amide resin supported the on-resin formation of 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-oxazine, while 2-CTC resin facilitated the oxazine formation in a one-pot process involving peptide cleavage, deprotection, and subsequent C-O ring formation, thus offering a versatile method for the late-stage modification of peptides.&lt;/p&gt;

	Ten macrocyclic peptides, each comprising 14 amino acids, were designed and synthesized based on the Tau aggregation model hexapeptides AcPHF6* and AcPHF6. The design took into account the aggregation tendencies of each residue in AcPHF6* and AcPHF6, their aggregation models, while employing peptide-based structural design principles including N-methylation to promote turns and to block hydrogen bond propagation and elongation of the aggregation chain. NMR analysis supported that all these peptides adopted an antiparallel beta-sheet conformation. Self-aggregation studies characterized the aggregation properties of these peptides, identifying two peptides with the highest (P3) and lowest (P8) aggregation tendencies. In cross-aggregation studies with the parent peptides AcPHF6* and AcPHF6, P3 and P8 were found to promote and reduce aggregation, respectively. Furthermore, P3 and P8 demonstrated an enhancement and diminution effect on the aggregation of K18wt, indicating their capacity to modulate aggregation even at the macromolecular level. Thus, the two simple peptides, P3 and P8 selectively exhibit pro- or anti-aggregation effects on PHF peptides and Tau. This study, has thus developed structurally well-defined non-complex peptides, derived from AcPHF6* and AcPHF6, to modulate Tau aggregation as desired, offering applications in Tau model studies and the development of Tau aggregation inhibitors or promoters.&lt;/p&gt;

	We present a streamlined, metal-free, one-pot domino approach to efficiently synthesize oxazolidinethione derivatives containing substituted quaternary amino acids. This method employs alpha-amino esters, aldehydes, and CS2 under mild conditions, constructing three new bonds (C-N, C-C, and C-O) to produce oxazolidinethione compounds featuring a quaternary center and a beta-hydroxy derivative in high yields. This scalable protocol enables the creation of libraries of biologically significant, intricate amino acid derivatives using amino esters and aldehydes.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, icomoon, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;In this study, we present graphene oxide derivatized with cyclopentylamine (GO-d-CP) as a DMSO-compatible liquid crystal alignment medium that is free from any background NMR signal for application in anisotropic NMR. This novel alignment medium facilitates optimal isotropic and anisotropic conditions within a single sample preparation, controlled by sonication, thereby enabling the measurement of anisotropic NMR parameters- residual dipolar couplings (RDC) and residual chemical shift anisotropy (RCSA). GO-d-CP offers several advantages, including ease of synthesis, isolation of solid GO-d-CP as a stable non-hygroscopic material, and maintenance of the anisotropic state stability &amp;gt;30 days, allowing for prolonged and repetitive experiments. Notably, post the analysis it allows for easy recovery of valuable analytes as well as GO-d-CP for reuse, enabling the routine application of anisotropic NMR in structural analysis of small molecules. We demonstrate its efficacy by analyzing the relative stereochemistry of four compounds - estrone, santonin, griseofulvin, and cinmethylin - using anisotropic NMR data.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

	The amidine group and its derivatives serve as proteolytically stable bioisosteres of the peptide bond, and their selective incorporation into peptides attributes significant chemical and biological features. This study introduces an efficient synthesis of amidine-containing peptides by a copper-catalyzed, solid-phase-compatible multicomponent reaction (MCR), leveraging ketenimine intermediates that are generated in situ. Through the reaction of sulfonyl azides with terminal alkynes and a wide variety of amines, we establish the robust on-resin synthesis of delta/epsilon-amidine amino acids, arginine isologues, fluorescently labeled peptides, drug-peptide hybrids, and PEGylated derivatives. This strategy notably supports a wide range of peptide modifications, including side chain alteration, amine functionalization, and peptide macrocyclization through both backbone and side chain groups, as well as incorporating aromatic scaffolds into the peptide backbone. The methodology demonstrates broad substrate tolerance, compatibility with peptide chemistry protocols, and access to complex motifs, including pharmacophores and imaging tags, all within a single reaction platform. Our results underscore the synthetic versatility and functional applicability of ketenimine-based MCRs for advanced peptide modification, expanding the chemical space of peptide medicinal chemistry and therapeutics.&lt;/p&gt;

	The dithiocarbamate group is an important class of compounds whose presence in small molecules and peptides leads to antimicrobial, anticancer, and enzyme inhibition properties. This study introduces an efficient and selective method for incorporating dithioate and trithioate moieties into amino acids and peptides using CS2 chemistry under mild conditions. Utilizing a N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA)-CS2-benzyl chloride system, we achieved modifications at the N-terminal amines and the side chains of Lys and Cys residues through solid-phase peptide synthesis (spps). The method exhibits excellent yields and broad compatibility with diverse amino acids, their protection groups, peptide chemistry reagents, and varied peptide sequences. Notably, the successful incorporation of trithioate groups into peptides via cysteines, reported here for the first time, expands the functional repertoire of peptide chemistry, offering new possibilities for peptide-based drug design and related applications.&lt;/p&gt;

	The merger of peptide and heterocyclic chemistry presents significant opportunities for enhancing the structural and functional diversity of therapeutic agents. In this study, we introduce a streamlined on-resin method to modify peptides at the N-terminus amines and the side chain amines of Lys/Orn amino acids by incorporating the biologically active triazolobenzodiazepine scaffold. In the presented solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), the triazolobenzodiazepine core is formed on-resin through a combination of N-alkylation, amide bond formation, and an alkyne-azide 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, of which the latter two happen as a single-step one-pot reaction- proceeding under mild conditions without metal catalysts. This protocol tolerates a wide variety of amino acids and functional groups, providing a versatile method for synthesizing peptide-triazolobenzodiazepine hybrids. Using orthogonal protection group strategies, we further demonstrate the method's adaptability for two site modifications in peptides involving both the N-terminus and Lys side chain amines. These modifications enhance the scope of ``peptide medicinal chemistry'' by creating multifunctional peptides with potential therapeutic applications. The method's compatibility with SPPS, room temperature conditions, and elimination of metal catalysis make it an efficient and powerful tool for peptide modification.&lt;/p&gt;
