- Biocompatible small peptide super-hydrogelators bearing carbazole functionalities
-
For the first time we have introduced carbazole capping groups onto two short peptide sequences, namely a diphenylalanine dipeptide and a glycine-diphenylalanine tripeptide, giving compounds 1 and 2, respectively. Both molecules form hydrogels at low concentrations, as low as 0.03% (w/v) for 1 - well within the range of supergelators. Both gelators are composed of small ca. 2 nm thick molecular fibres, as elucidated by AFM and are non-cytotoxic towards HeLa cells at concentrations which are at or above their minimum gelation concentration.

- First Nondiscriminating Translocator Protein Ligands Produced from a Carbazole Scaffold
-
Development of neuroinflammation agents targeting the translocator protein (TSPO) has been hindered by a common single nucleotide polymorphism (A147T) at which TSPO ligands commonly lose affinity. To this end, carbazole acetamide scaffolds were synthesized and structure activity relationships elaborated to explore the requirements for high-affinity binding to both TSPO wild type (WT) and the polymorphic TSPO A147T. This study reports high binding affinity and nondiscriminating TSPO ligands.

- N of a kind of preparation method of-carbencillin methyl carbazole
-
The invention relates to a method for preparing N-carboxymethylcarbazole. The method comprises the steps of directly mixing carbazole, potassium acetate and N, N-dimethylformamide, then, heating and regulating the pH value to 8-9 in heating; then, cooling the reaction solution, and regulating the solution to be strong acid; and next, adding the solution into water to obtain N-carboxymethylcarbazole. According to the invention, N-carboxymethylcarbazole is obtained by taking carbazole and potassium acetate as raw materials through one-step synthesis; the method is short in reaction time, simple in reaction process, easy to operate, very high in raw material conversion rate and high in product yield (more than 95%); and the novel design thought provides more application space for the synthesis of N-carboxymethylcarbazole.

- Influence of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) on blue light-emitting materials for OLED
-
By using Heck polycondensation, we have synthesized carbazole-based alt-copolymers tethered with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS), which had well-defined architectures, similar polymerization degrees and the different contents of POSS. The effect of POSS content and the length of the side chain containing POSS on the electroluminescence properties of these polymers were investigated. POSS particles in these alt-copolymers showed excellent dispersity and prevented the interchain aggregation of polymers in film state well. Besides, POSS benefited charge balance by increasing the electron current density, which led to a higher luminance and current efficiency, as well as purer blue light-emitting.

- Structural diversity and properties of a series of dinuclear and mononuclear copper(II) and copper(I) carboxylato complexes
-
The syntheses, crystal structures, magnetic and photoluminescence properties of a series of dinuclear and mononuclear copper(II) and copper(I) N-carbazolylacetate [N-carbazolylacetic acid = Hcabo] with different carboxylato coordination modes are reported. Although the carboxylato group has different coordination modes, the same carboxylate ligand binding to copper ion via four coordinating modes is rare. The crystal (structure of complex [Cu2(Cabo)4(dmf)2]·2dmf (1) consists of a symmetrical dimeric Cu(II) carboxylato paddle-wheel core and oxygen atoms from dmf at the apical positions. The dinuclear complex [Cu)2(Cabo)3(phen)2ClO4·H 2O·C2H5OH (2) (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) consists of an unusual dimeric core with two copper atoms bridged by three carboxylates one of which is in the η:η:μ2 bridging mode and the other two are in the rarer monoatomic bridging mode. To our knowledge, the present bridging mode has not been reported hitherto. Magnetic susceptibilities were measured in the temperature range 2-300 K. It is found that paddle-wheel copper(II) ions in 1 are strongly coupled antiferromagnetically with 2J = 356.4(6) cm-1, whereas complex 2 shows weak antiferromagnetic interaction with a 2J value of -12.8(4) cm-1. Copper(I) N-carbazolylacetate with strong fluorescence in the solid state as well as high thermal stability was obtained by reduction of the copper(II) N-carbazolylacetate using PPh3 (triphenylphosphine) in dmf solution.

- Design, synthesis, DNA-binding and cytotoxicity evaluation of new potential combilexines
-
Combilexines, compounds in which a DNA intercalator is linked to a minor groove binding component, interact with the DNA in a sequence specific manner to yield in most cases compounds with anticancer activity. A series of new compounds closely related to netropsin in which the two components were linked by an amide group was synthesised as potential combilexines. As some of these compounds showed cytotoxic activity in vitro, an attempt was made to rationalise their mechanism of action. The DNA binding characteristics of the carboxamides were evaluated by thermal denaturation experiments and by ethidium bromide displacement assay. Their ability to inhibit the topoisomerase I was also determined. It was concluded that the new compounds were only weak DNA ligands although able in some cases to inhibit topoisomerase I.

Novel ethylene glycol compounds bearing various functional groups are used to prepare oligomeric structures. The ethylene glycol monomers can be joined via standard phosphate linkages including phosphorothioate, phosphodiester, and phosphoramidate linkages. Useful functional groups include nucleobases as well as polar groups, hydrophobic groups, ionic groups, aromatic groups and/or groups that participate in hydrogen-bonding.

- Convergent functional groups. 13. High-affinity complexation of adenosine derivatives within induced binding pockets
-
Receptors based upon 3,6-diaminocarbazole have been synthesized that bind to adenosine derivatives with an interaction energy of approximately 8 kcal/mol in CDCl3 and over 3 kcal/mol in CD3OD. The purine nucleus is bound within a cavity by simultaneous Watson-Crick and Hoogsteen base-pairing, hydrogen bonding to N3, and stacking on both of its aromatic faces. Hydrogen bond interactions can be estimated at approximately 0.5-0.75 kcal/mol in methanol. The structure of the complex in solution has been deduced through binding assays of incremental derivatives, one- and two-dimensional NMR studies, and molecular modeling.

- Reactivity of a tetrahedral Intermediate in Hydrolysis of N-Acetylpyrrole
-
Base hydrolysis of N-acetylpyrrole (1a) involves formation of an anionic tetrahedral intermediate (2a).The equilibrium constant between these two species can be estimated by extrapolation based on the equilibrium constants for hydration of N-trichloroacetyl and N-trifluoroacetylpyrrole and the estimated pKa for deprotonation of the hydrates of these compounds.Inductive effects upon hydration and deprotonation of the hydrates were estimated by analogy with inductive effects upon the equilibrium reactions of chloral and acetaldehyde.The free energies of activation for formation and return of 2a are approximately 16 and 12.5 Kcal mole-1 respectively and for conversion of 2a to products 11 Kcal mole-1 in aqueous 1M OH-.

- ACIDIC PROPERTIES OF N-HETARYLACETIC ACIDS AND INDUCTIVE CONSTANTS OF N-HETARYL SUBSTITUENTS
-
The inductive constants of the corresponding heterocyclic fragments were calculated on the basis of data on the pKa values obtained by potentiometric titration of derivatives of indole, carbazole, 3-methylcarbazole, tetrahydrocarbazole, 6-methyltetrahydrocarbazole, and phenothiazine.The ?0R constant of the 9-carbazolyl group was also calculated.The enthalpy and entropy of acidic dissociation were calculated from data on the effect of temperature on the pKa of 9-carbazolylacetic acid.It is shown that the entropy contribution to the free energy of dissociation of 9-carbazolylacetic acid predominates.

- ACIDITIES OF 1-INDOLYLACETIC AND CARBAZOLACETIC ACIDS. INDUCTIVE CONSTANTS OF INDOLYL AND CARBAZOLYL GROUPS

The pKa values of 1-indolylacetic, 3-(9-ethyl)carbyzolylacetic, and a number of 3,6-disubstituted 9-carbazolylacetic acids in aqueous ethanol solutions were determined by potentiometry.The inductive constants of the corresponding heterocyclic fragments were calculated from the values obtained.It is shown that annelation of the benzene ring with the pyrrole ring of indole gives rise to a decrease in the negative inductive effect of the heteroring.A linear relationship between the acidic properties of carbazole and the corresponding 9-carbazolylacetic acids was established.
