Cyclobutane Pyrimidine Photodimerization of DNA/RNA Nucleobases in the Triplet State
2010
The photoinduced formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers in the triplet excited state of the DNA/RNA pyrimidine nucleobases pairs has been studied at the CASPT2 level of theory. A stepwise mechanism through the triplet state of the homodimer is proposed for the pairs of nucleobases cytosine, thymine, and uracil involving a singlet−triplet crossing intermediary structure of biradical character representing the most favorable triplet state conformation of the nucleobases as found in the DNA environment. The efficiency of the mechanism will be modulated by two factors: the effectiveness of the triplet−triplet energy transfer process from a donor photosensitizer molecule, which relates to th…
Crystal structure of 2-{[1-(2-methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)propan-2-yloxy]carbonyl}benzoic acid
2014
In the title compound, C15H15N3O6, the dihedral angle between the planes of the benzene and imidazole rings is 34.93 (10)°. An intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bond is observed. In the crystal, O—H...N hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains parallel to thecaxis.
Crystal structure of 3-mesityl-1-[(pyridin-2-yl)methyl]-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-1-ium bromide monohydrate
2015
In the title hydrated salt, C19H24N3+·Br−·H2O, the values of the N—C bond lengths within the tetrahydropyrimidinium ring indicate delocalization of the N=C double bond. In the cation, the dihedral angle formed by the pyridine and benzene rings is 14.97 (12)°. In the crystal, ions and water molecules are linked by O—H...Br, O—H...N, C—H...Br and C—H...O hydrogen bonds into chains running parallel to thebaxis.

Intramolecular 1,5-S...N σ-hole interaction in (E)-N′-(pyridin-4-ylmethylidene)thiophene-2-carbohydrazide
2020
The hydrazide-hydrazone forms inverse dimers via hydrogen bonding, but its conformation is defined by the presence of an intramolecular chalcogen bond. Electrostatic forces dominate in the crystal packing and give rise to a layered supramolecular structure.
Host-guest complexes of C-propyl-2-bromoresorcinarene with aromatic N-oxides*
2018
The host-guest complexes of C-propyl-2-bromoresorcinarene with pyridine N-oxide, 3-methylpyridine N-oxide, quinoline N-oxide and isoquinoline N-oxide are studied using single crystal X-ray crystallography and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The C-propyl-2-bromoresorcinarene forms endo-complexes with the aromatic N-oxides in the solid-state when crystallised from either methanol or acetone. In solution, the endo-complexes were observed only in methanol-d4. In DMSO the solvent itself is a good guest, and crystallisation provides only solvate endo-complexes. The C-propyl-2-bromoresorcinarene shows remarkable flexibility when crystallised from either methanol or acetone, and packs into one-dimensional sel…
Recent Advances on the Halo- and Cyano-Trifluoromethylation of Alkenes and Alkynes
2021
Incorporation of fluorine into organic molecules is a well-established strategy in the design of advanced materials, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Among numerous modern synthetic approaches, functionalization of unsaturated bonds with simultaneous addition of trifluoromethyl group along with other substituents is currently one of the most attractive methods undergoing wide-ranging development. In this review article, we discuss the most significant contributions made in this area during the last decade (2012−2021). The reactions reviewed in this work include chloro-, bromo-, iodo-, fluoro- and cyano-trifluoromethylation of alkenes and alkynes.
Tenascin gene expression in rat liver and in rat liver cells. In vivo and in vitro studies.
1991
Tenascin is a major glycoprotein constituent of the extracellular matrix with a strong affinity to fibronectin; its distribution is believed to be temporarily and spatially limited. Tenascin gene expression is increased during wound healing processes. As repair mechanisms in chronic liver diseases resemble wound healing we studied tenascin gene expression in rat liver and in isolated rat liver cells. In normal rat liver a tenascin specific antiserum stains sinusoidal cells with fiber-like prolongations, which at the same time are desmin-positive (ITO-cells). In the CCl4-acutely-damaged liver a strong tenascin staining is detected in cells located among the mononuclear cells of the inflammat…
Mechanisms involved in lipid accumulation and apoptosis induced by 1-nitropyrene in Hepa1c1c7 cells
2011
International audience; 1-Nitropyrene (1-NP) is a nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (nitro-PAH) present in diesel exhaust and bound to particular matter in urban air. We show that 1-NP and the referent PAH benzo(a)pyrene (BP) induce apoptosis and a lipid accumulation dependent on cytochrome P450 1A1-metabolites in mouse hepatoma cells, whereas 1-amino-pyrene had no effect. The caspase inhibitor, N-benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-Asp(O-Me) fluoromethyl ketone (Z-VAD-fmk), inhibits 1-NP-induced apoptosis, but failed to alter 1-NP-triggered lipid accumulation determined by Nile red staining. We further show that cholesterol and fatty acid contents are modified after nitro-PAH exposure and that 1…
