A new traceless soluble polymeric linker and a corresponding alkylating strategy has been developed. Dimethyl malonate was alkylated with a variety of polymeric halides and these resulting polymer bound malonates underwent further alkylation with addition

We report on the synthesis of monodisperse, flower-like, liquid crystalline (LC) polymer particles by precipitation polymerization of a LC mixture consisting of benzoic acid-functionalized acrylates and disulfide-functionalized diacrylates. Introduction o

Altered redox homeostasis as a hallmark of cancer cells is exploited by cancer cells for growth and survival. The thioredoxin (Trx), an important regulator in maintaining the intracellular redox homeostasis, is cumulatively recognized as a promising target for the development of anticancer drugs. Herein, we synthesized 72 disulfides and evaluated their inhibition for Trx and antitumor activity. First, we established an efficient and fast method to screen Trx inhibitors by using the probe NBL-SS that was developed by our group to detect Trx function in living cells. After an initial screening of the Trx inhibitory activity of these compounds, 8 compounds showed significant inhibition activity against Trx. We then evaluated the cytotoxicity of these 8 disulfides, compounds 68 and 69 displayed high cytotoxicity to HeLa cells, but less sensitive to normal cell lines. Next, we performed kinetic studies of both two disulfides, 68 had faster inhibition of Trx than 69. Further studies revealed that 68 led to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and eventually induced apoptosis of Hela cells via inhibiting Trx. The establishment of a method for screening Trx inhibitors and the discovery of 68 with remarkable Trx inhibition provide support for the development of anticancer candidates with Trx inhibition.

A number of substituted o-aminophenols has been investigated as redox mediators of the thiol oxidation to disulfides. The electrooxidation of o-aminophenols leads to the corresponding o-iminobenzoquinones. These compounds react with thiols in the solution with a formation of disulfides. It was established that the use of 4,6-di-tert-butyl-2-(tert-butylamino)phenol as a redox mediator can reduce the overpotential of the thiol oxidation by 0.2-1.4 V depending on the nature of the coupling thiols. The unsymmetrical disulfides with alkyl, aryl, and heteroaryl substituents were obtained as the result of the indirect electrosynthesis.
