- Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel AM80 derivatives as antileukemic agents
-
A series of novel AM80 derivatives as antileukemic agents were synthesized and their structures were confirmed by IR, 1H-NMR, and HR-MS spectra. All the target compounds were evaluated for in vitro antiproliferative activities against human leukemic HL-60, NB4, and K562 cell lines. Among these derivatives, compound 4g showed much stronger antiproliferative activities against all the three human leukemic cell lines than the positive control AM80, and compound 4b exhibited more active antiproliferative effects against HL-60 and K562 cells than AM80. Furthermore, the preliminary SAR analysis suggested that AM80 conjugating with HDAC inhibitors with small steric hindrance could give more effective antileukemic agents. These results would be helpful to design more potent antileukemic drugs for the treatment of human leukemia.

- Alkyl sulfonyl derivatized PAMAM-G2 dendrimers as nonviral gene delivery vectors with improved transfection efficiencies
-
Amphiphilic dendrimer-based gene delivery vectors bearing peripheral alkyl sulfonyl hydrophobic tails were constructed using low-generation PAMAM-G2 as the core and functionalized by means of the aza-Michael type addition of its primary amino groups to vinylsulfone derivatives as an efficient tool for surface engineering. While the unmodified PAMAM-G2 was unable to efficiently transfect eukaryotic cells, functionalized PAMAM-G2 dendrimers were able to bind DNA at low N/P ratios, protect DNA from digestion with DNase I and showed high transfection efficiencies and low cytotoxicity. Dendrimers with a C18 alkyl chain produced transfection efficiencies up to 3.1 fold higher than LipofectAMINE 2000 in CHO-k1 cells. The dendriplexes based in functionalized PAMAM-G2 also showed the ability to retain their transfection properties in the presence of serum and the ability to transfect different eukaryotic cell lines such as Neuro-2A and RAW 264.7. Taking advantage of the vinylsulfone chemistry, fluorescent PAMAM-G2 derivatives of these vectors were prepared as molecular probes to determine cellular uptake and internalization through a clathrin-independent mechanism.

- Synthesis and anticonvulsant activity of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)amide derivatives
-
A series novel of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)amide derivatives was synthesized and screened for their anticonvulsant activities by the maximal electroshock (MES) test, and their neurotoxicity was evaluated by the rotarod test (Tox). The maximal electroshock test showed that N-(2-hydroxyethyl)decanamide 1g, N-(2-hydroxyethyl)palmitamide 1l, and N-(2-hydroxyeth-yl)stearamide 1n were found to show a better anticonvulsant activity and also had lower toxicity than the marked anti-epileptic drug valproate. In the anti-MES potency test, these compounds exhibited median effective doses (ED50) of 22.0, 23.3, 20.5 mg/kg, respectively, and median toxicity doses (TD50) of 599.8, >1000, >1000 mg/kg, respectively, resulting in a protective index (PI) of 27.5, >42.9, >48.8, respectively. This is a much better protective index than that of the marked anti-epileptic drug valproate (PI = 1.6). To further investigate the effects of the anticonvulsant activity in several different models, compounds 1g, 1l, and 1n were tested having evoked convulsions with chemical substances, including pentylenetetrazloe, isoniazide, 3-mercaptopropionic acid, bicuculline, thiosemicarbazide, and strychnine.

- Dipeptide alcohol-based inhibitors of eukaryotic DNA polymerase α
-
We reported previously that a novel dipeptide alcohol, l- homoserylaminoethanol (Hse-Gly-ol), is a selective inhibitor of eukaryotic DNA polymerase ε (pol ε) [Bioorg. Med. Chem. 2004, 12, 957-962]. The discovery suggests that the dipeptide structure could
