Structural study of oxalamide compounds: 1H, 13C, and DFT calculations
2011
Abstract The conformational properties of some N-alkyl, N,N′-dialky, and tetraalkyloxalamides have been investigated, in vacuo and in solvent using DFT methods at the B3LYP/6-31G∗∗ computational level. Special emphasis has been given on oxalamides with substituents of the type –CH2CH2OH. In oxalamides with the N–H group (N-alkyl and N,N′-dialky), the most stable conformations are those in which the oxalamide moiety adopts a planar s-trans arrangement and the amide bonds are trans. A different situation appears in the case of tetraalkyloxalamides, in which the oxalamide moiety always adopts a skewed arrangement and there are conformations with similar energy. A careful study of 13C and 1H NM…
Synthesis of chiral oxazolidin-2-ones from N-alkoxycarbonyl amino epoxides: a computational studyElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available…
2002
threo-N-Alkoxycarbonylamino epoxides 5a–d, containing the oxazolidine moiety, were converted into trans-4,5-disubstituted-2-oxazolidin-2-ones 2 with total regio- and stereoselection by means of nucleophilic intramolecular attack of the carbamate moiety to the protonated oxirane ring. Theoretical calculations confirmed both the regioselection and the preference of the cyclocarbamation reaction vs. the intermolecular attack by the solvent, arising from different behaviour in comparison with the analogous iodonium ions.
ChemInform Abstract: Fluorinated Heterocyclic Compounds. A Photochemical Synthesis of 3-Amino-5-perfluoroaryl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles.
2010
Abstract A photochemical methodology for the synthesis of 3-amino- (or 3- N -substituted amino) 5-pentafluorophenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles is reported. Irradiation of 3-pentafluorobenzoylamino-4-methyl-1,2,5-oxadiazole (Furazan) at 254 nm in methanol and in the presence of ammonia, primary or secondary aliphatic amines produces 3-amino-, 3-( N -alkylamino)-, 3-( N , N -dialkylamino)-5-pentafluorophenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles. The photoreaction follows the fragmentation pattern of the furazan ring with the extrusion of acetonitrile and the formation of a counterpart fragment which the nitrogen nucleophile will capture. Depending on the nature of the reagent, displacement of a fluoride anion at the C(5…
Entrapment of amino acids in gas phase surfactant assemblies: The case of tryptophan confined in positively charged (1R,2S)-dodecyl (2-hydroxy-1-meth…
2017
The ability of positively charged aggregates of the surfactant (1R,2S)‐dodecyl (2‐hydroxy‐1‐methyl‐2‐phenylethyl))dimethylammonium bromide (DMEB) to incorporate D-tryptophan or L-tryptophan in the gas phase has been investigated by electrospray ion mobility mass spectrometry (ESIâIMâMS). Strongly impacted by the pH of the electrosprayed solutions, both protonated (T+) and deprotonated (T-) tryptophan are effectively included into the aggregates, whereas, tryptophan in zwitterionic (T0) form is practically absent in singly charged DMEB aggregates but can be found in multiply charged ones. The ability to incorporate tryptophan increases with the aggregation number and charge state of aggr…

Four dinuclear nickel(II) complexes [Ni(II)(2)(L(1))(O(2)CMe)(2)(H(2)O)(2)][PF(6)].MeOH.3H(2)O (1), [Ni(II)(2)(L(1))(O(2)CMe)(2)(NCS)] (2), [Ni(II)(2)(L(2))(O(2)CMe)(2)(MeOH)(H(2)O)][ClO(4)] (3), and [Ni(II)(2)(L(2))(O(2)CMe)(2)(MeOH)(H(2)O)][BPh(4)].3MeOH.H(2)O (4) have been synthesized [HL(1): 2,6-bis[N-methyl-N-(2-pyridylethyl)amino]-4-methylphenol; HL(2): 2,6-bis[3-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazol-1-ylmethyl]-4-methylphenol]. Complexes 1, 3, and 4 are new while complex 2 was reported previously by Fenton and co-workers (the structure of 2 was presented but no physicochemical properties of this complex were reported; in this work such studies have been completed). X-ray crystallographic analyses of…
Low density lipoproteins and human serum albumin as the carriers of squalenoylated drugs: insights from molecular simulations
2018
We have studied the interaction of three clinically promising squalenoylated drugs (gemcitabine-squalene, adenine-squalene, and doxorubicin-squalene) with low-density lipoproteins (LDL) by means of atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. It is shown that all studied squalenoylated drugs accumulate inside the LDL particles. This effect is promoted by the squalene moiety, which acts as an anchor and drives the hydrophilic drugs into the hydrophobic core of the LDL lipid droplet. Our data suggest that LDL particles could be a universal carriers of squalenoylated drugs in the bloodstream. Interaction of gemcitabine-squalene with human serum albumin (HSA) was also studied by ensemble of dockin…
Solid state conformational and theoretical study of complexes containing the (CxN)Pd moiety (CxN = 2-(phenylazo)phenyl-C,N and its derivatives)
2003
Palladium complexes having the 2-(phenylazo)phenyl-C,N ligand exhibit a planar chelating ring with NN and N–C distances longer and shorter respectively than those found in trans-azobenzene. The ligand is not planar upon complexation, the mean angle between the phenyl ring and the chelating one found in the Cambridge Structural Database being of 45.6°. We have quantified and characterised the kind of distortion from planar coordination around metallic centers. The method employed makes use of two improper torsion angles, tetrahedral distortion being most frequently found in phenylazophenyl palladium complexes. Crystal structures of three succinimidate complexes having the title moiety are re…

Abstract Five oleanane-type saponins , 3- O -β- D -glucuronopyranosylzanhic acid 28- O -β- D -xylopyranosyl-(1→3)-[α- L -rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)]-(4- O -acetyl)-β- D -fucopyranosyl ester ( 1 ), 3- O -β- D -glucopyranosylzanhic acid 28- O -β- D -xylopyranosyl-(1→3)-[α- L -rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)]-(4- O -acetyl)-β- D -fucopyranosyl ester ( 2 ), zanhic acid 28- O -β- D -xylopyranosyl-(1→3)-[α- L -rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)]-(4- O -acetyl)-β- D -fucopyranosyl ester ( 3 ), zanhic acid 28- O -α- L -rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-4- O -[(3′-hydroxy-2′-methyl-butyroyloxy)-3-hydroxy-2-methyl-butyroyloxy]-β- D -fucopyranosyl ester ( 4 ), medicagenic acid 28- O -α- L -rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-4- O -[(3′-hydroxy-2′-methyl-…
Design and synthesis of pironetin analogue/colchicine hybrids and study of their cytotoxic activity and mechanisms of interaction with tubulin
2014
We here report the synthesis of a series of 12 hybrid molecules composed of a colchicine moiety and a pironetin analogue fragment. The two fragments are connected through an ester-amide spacer of variable length. The cytotoxic activities of these compounds and their interactions with tubulin have been investigated. Relations between the structure and activity are discussed. Since the spacer is not long enough to permit a simultaneous binding of the hybrid molecules to the colchicine and pironetin sites on tubulin, a further feature investigated was whether these molecules would interact with the latter through the pironetin end (irreversible covalent binding) or through the colchicine end (…
Selective Crystallization of Dimeric vs. Monomeric Dimethyltin‐Containing Tungstoarsenates(III) and ‐antimonates(III) with the Guanidinium Cation
2009
The use of guanidinium cations [C(NH 2 ) 3 ] + as crystallizing agents allowed us to selectively isolate the dimeric [{(CH 3 ) 2 -Sn(H20)} 4 {(CH 3 ) 2 Sn}(B-β-XW 9 O 33 ) 2 ] 8- (1, X = As III ; 2, X = Sb III ) polyanions from the reaction of (CH 3 ) 2 SnCl 2 with Na 9 [B-a-XW 9 O 33 ) (3:1 ratio) in water at pH 3. This reaction is known to give the monomeric [{(CH 3 ) 2 Sn(H 2 O) 2 } 3 (B-β-XW 9 O 33 )] 3- polyanions as the major species. Polyanions 1 and 2 are composed of one octahedral trans-(CH 3 ) 2 SnO 4 moiety that bridges two trilacunary [B-β-XW 9 O 33 ] 9- Keggin subunits further decorated by two structurally nonequivalent {(CH 3 ) 2 Sn} 2+ functionalities each: one distorted octa…
