Conjugated 5-fluorouracil with mitochondria-targeting lipophilic cation: Design, synthesis and biological evaluation

5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) was linked with F16 by vulnerable bonds to selectively target cancer mitochondria which resulted in conjugated compounds, including F16-5-FU, F16-OOC-FU, F16-NHOC-FU and F16-SS-FU. F16-OOC-FU decreased the antiproliferative activity of 5-FU on the nontumor cell line, and the cytotoxicity of F16-SS-FU significantly increased when administered with dithiothreitol (DTT).

Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis of reaction products of sulfur mustards with phenol

Screening of chemicals related to chemical weapons convention including their all possible degradation and reaction products in environmental samples is important in the organization for prohibition of chemical weapons verification process. Sulfur mustards, commonly known as blistering agents, are included in schedule 1 chemicals of chemical weapons convention. Because of the presence of chlorine atoms in sulfur mustards, they are highly reactive and prone to react with other organic molecules such as phenols to produce corresponding reaction products. Thus, it is important to screen for not only the sulfur mustards but also their reaction products for verification process. The sulfur mustards and their degradation products have been routinely analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry method, however, the methods are yet to establish for the reaction products. In this study, the reaction products of the sulfur mustards with phenol (compounds 1–7) were studied by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry under electron ionization and chemical ionization conditions. The EI spectra of 1–7 displayed molecular ion and characteristic fragments that provided structure information. Mostly the fragment ions were due to homolytic cleavages involving C–O, C–S, and C–C cleavages. The methane or isobutane CI spectra showed M+., [M + H]+, and [M ? H]+ ions including reagent specific adduct ions. The CI spectra also showed other adduct ions formed by association of analyte molecule with its most abundant fragment ion. The gas chromatography/retention index values were also calculated, which support unambiguous identification of targeted molecules in suspected environmental samples. The method was demonstrated for detection of the targeted molecules spiked in soil samples.

Potent haloperidol derivatives covalently binding to the dopamine D2 receptor

The dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) is a common drug target for the treatment of a variety of neurological disorders including schizophrenia. Structure based design of subtype selective D2R antagonists requires high resolution crystal structures of the receptor and pharmacological tools promoting a better understanding of the protein-ligand interactions. Recently, we reported the development of a chemically activated dopamine derivative (FAUC150) designed to covalently bind the L94C mutant of the dopamine D2 receptor. Using FAUC150 as a template, we elaborated the design and synthesis of irreversible analogs of the potent antipsychotic drug haloperidol forming covalent D2R-ligand complexes. The disulfide- and Michael acceptor-functionalized compounds showed significant receptor affinity and an irreversible binding profile in radioligand depletion experiments.

Nanoparticles and nanoparticle compositions

The invention provides multivalent surface-crosslinked micelle (SCM) particles, crosslinked reverse micelle (CRM) particles, and methods of making and using them. The SCM particles can be used, for example, to inhibit a virus or bacteria from binding to a host cell. The inhibition can be used in therapy for the flu, cancer, or AIDS. The CRM particles can be used, for example, to prepare metal nanoparticles or metal alloy nanoparticles, or they can be used in catalytic reactions.
