Zfp819, a novel KRAB-zinc finger protein, interacts with KAP1 and functions in genomic integrity maintenance of mouse embryonic stem cells

2013

AbstractPluripotency is maintained by both known and unknown transcriptional regulatory networks. In the present study, we have identified Zfp819, a KRAB-zinc finger protein, as a novel pluripotency-related factor and characterized its role in pluripotent stem cells. We show that Zfp819 is expressed highly in various types of pluripotent stem cells but not in their differentiated counterparts. We identified the presence of non-canonical nuclear localization signals in particular zinc finger motifs and identified them as responsible for the nuclear localization of Zfp819. Analysis of the Zfp819 promoter region revealed the presence of a transcriptionally active chromatin signature. Moreover,…

Synthesis and Antileukemic Activity of New 3-(5-Methylisoxazol-3-yl) and 3-(Pyrimidin-2-yl)-2-styrylquinazolin-4(3H)-ones.

2003

3-(3-Methylisoxazol-5-yl) and 3-(pyrimidin-2-yl)-2-styrylquinazolin-4(3H)-ones 8a–l and 9a,c–e,h–l were synthesized by refluxing in acetic acid the corresponding 2-methylquinazolinones 6 and 8 with the opportune benzoic aldehyde for 12 h. The synthesized styrylquinazolinones 8a–l and 9a,c–e,h–l were tested in vitro for their antileukemic activity against L-1210 (murine leukemia), K-562 (human chronic myelogenous leukemia) and HL-60 (human leukemia) cell lines showing in some cases good activity.

Monitoring the hydrogen bond net configuration and the dimensionality of aniline and phenyloxamate by adding 1 H -pyrazole and isoxazole as substitue…

2019

This work describes the synthesis and characterization of a new class of oxamic acid derivatives containing pyrazole and isoxazole as substituents to investigate their ability to form hydrogen bonds aiming at applying them in crystal engineering and molecular self-recognition. In this respect, we report a new synthesis of 2-(4-nitrophenyl)-1,3-propanedial (1) in high yield using SOCl2 as a chlorinating agent. The new oxamic esters 4-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)phenylene-N-(ethyloxamate) (2d) and 4-(1,2-oxazol-4-yl)phenylene-N-(ethyloxamate) (3d) were prepared from 1. The synthetic route consists of the cyclisation of 1 either with hydrazine to afford 4-(-aminophenyl)-1H-pyrazole (2a) or with hydroxyla…

4-[5-(4-Fluorophenyl)-3-isopropylisoxazol-4-yl]pyridin-2(1H)-one

2007

The crystal structure of the title compound, C17H15FN2O2, was determined as part of a study of the biological activity of pyridine-substituted isoxazole derivatives as mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitors. In the crystal structure of the title compound, the compound exists in the lactam and not in the tautomeric pyridin-2-ol form. As the aromatic pyridine nitrogen is considered to be important for accepting a hydrogen bond from p38MAPK, the structure of the lactam unit is correlated with the loss of biological activity of the title compound in the p38MAPK assay. In the crystal structure, the lactam is involved in hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the b axis.

5-(4-Fluoro-phen-yl)-4-(4-pyrid-yl)-1,3-oxazol-2-amine.

2010

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C14H10FN3O, the plane of the isoxazole ring makes dihedral angles of 35.72 (9) and 30.00 (9)°, respectively, with those of the 4-fluorophenyl and pyridine rings. The plane of the 4-fluorophenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 45.85 (8)° with that of the pyridine ring. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular N—H...N hydrogen bonding. The two types of hydrogen bonds result in two chains, extending along the a axis, which are related by centres of symmetry.

Inhibition of murine IgE and immediate cutaneous hypersensitivity responses to ovalbumin by the immunomodulatory agent leflunomide

1999

SUMMARYLeflunomide has been identified as an immunoregulatory and anti-inflammatory compound. Allergic disease is characterized by elevated serum IgE levels, production of allergen-specific IgE and the release of inflammatory mediators from mast cells and granulocytes. Here we demonstrate, using an in vivo murine model, the ability of leflunomide to down-regulate levels of total and allergen-specific serum IgE production. Mice receiving leflunomide (45 mg/kg) orally at the time of primary immunization with ovalbumin adsorbed to aluminium hydroxide adjuvant, showed a reduction in total serum IgE levels of 95%, 41% and 32% following primary, secondary and tertiary immunizations, respectively …

Zur Regiochemie von [4 + 2]-Cycloadditionen mit Methylpyrano[3,4-b]indol-3-onen und unsymmetrischen Dienophilen

1989

Die methylierten Pyrano[3,4-b]indol-3-one 1a, 1b reagieren mit acyclischen, unsymmetrischen CC-Dienophilen nach einer Diels-Alder-Reaktion/CO2-Extrusion zu selektiv funktionalisierten Carbazolen 2. In Abhangigkeit von der Struktur der Reaktionspartner wird keine oder geringe bis hohe Regioselektivitat festgestellt. Diethylmesoxalat reagiert mit 1a, 1b regioselektiv zu neuen 2,3-difunktionalisierten Indolen 4a, 4b, die aus einer regiokontrollierten [4 + 2]-Cycloaddition und Cycloreversion resultieren, wobei Pyrano[3,4-b]indoldicarbonsaure-diethylester 3a, 3b als Intermediate auftreten durften.

Development of novel dipeptide-like rhodesain inhibitors containing the 3-bromoisoxazoline warhead in a constrained conformation.

2015

Novel dipeptide-like rhodesain inhibitors containing the 3-bromoisoxazoline warhead in a constrained conformation were developed; some of them possess K(i) values in the micromolar range. We studied the structure-activity relationship of these derivatives and we performed docking studies, which allowed us to find out the key interactions established by the inhibitors with the target enzyme. Biological results indicate that the nature of the P2 and P3 substituents and their binding to the S2/S3 pockets is strictly interdependent.
