Chemoselectivity in the methylalumination reaction of unsymmetrical ethers, amines, and sulfides bearing two different terminal alkenyl groups, a 13-tetradecenyl group and an allyl, 4-pentenyl or 6-heptenyl group was examined. The methylalumination of the allyl derivatives proceeded with complete chemoselectivity to afford only the 13-tetradecenyl-monomethylated products. In the methylalumination reactions of the 4-pentenyl and the 6-heptenyl derivatives, in addition to the 13-tetradecenyl-monomethylated products, and dimethylated products were also obtained. However, as in the case of the allyl derivatives, monomethylation to the shorter 4-pentenyl or 6-heptenyl group was not observed, except in the case of 6-heptenyl 13-tetradecenyl amine. The unique selectivity was rationalized upon how readily the intramolecular ligand exchange reaction between intermediate zirconocenium-alkene and zirconocenium-heteroatom complexes could occur.

NUCLEOSIDE PRODRUGS AND USES RELATED THERETO

, (2021/02/26)
Disclosed are acyclic nucleoside prodrugs with improved metabolic stability and oral bioavailability. In general, the prodrugs are derivatives of acyclic nucleoside phosphonates containing a lipid-like moiety that can increase oral absorption and subsequent stability in the liver and plasma. Preferably, the lipid-like moiety can resist enzyme-mediated ω-oxidation, such as ω -oxidation catalyzed by cytochrome P450 enzymes. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical formulations of the acyclic nucleoside prodrugs. The acyclic nucleoside prodrugs and pharmaceutical formulations thereof can be used to treat viral infections, such as HIV infections, and/or viral-associated cancer, such as HPV-associated cancers.

The plasma membranes of archaea are abundant in macrocyclic tetraether lipids that contain a single or double long transmembrane hydrocarbon chains connecting the two glycerol backbones at both ends. In this study, a novel amacrocyclic bisphosphatidylcholine lipid bearing a single membrane-spanning octacosamethylene chain, 1,1’-O-octacosamethylene-2,2′-di-O-tetradecyl-bis-(sn-glycero)-3,3′-diphosphocholine (AC-(di-O-C14PC)2), was synthesized to elucidate effects of the interlayer cross-linkage on membrane properties based on comparison with its corresponding diether phosphatidylcholine, 1,2-di-O-tetradecyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DTPC), that forms bilayer membrane. Several physicochemical techniques demonstrated that while AC-(di-O-C14PC)2 monolayer, which adopts a particularly high-ordered structure in the gel phase, shows remarkably high thermotropic transition temperature compared to DTPC bilayer, the fluidity of both phospholipids above the transition temperature is comparable. Nonetheless, the fluorescent dye leakage from inside the AC-(di-O-C14PC)2 vesicles in the fluid phase is highly suppressed. The origin of the membrane properties characteristic of AC-(di-O-C14PC)2 monolayer is discussed in terms of the single long transmembrane hydrophobic linkage and the diffusional motion of the lipid molecules.
