Recurrence of the oxazole motif in tubulin colchicine site inhibitors with anti-tumor activity
2021
Abstract Because of its wide spectrum of targets and biological activities, the oxazole ring is a valuable heterocyclic scaffold in the design of new therapeutic agents with anticancer, antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, antidiabetic and antidepressant properties. The presence of two heteroatoms, oxygen and nitrogen, offers possible interactions (hydrogen, hydrophobic, van der Waals or dipoles bonds) with a broad range of receptors and enzymes. Furthermore, the oxazole core conjugates low cytotoxicity with improved compound solubility and is well suited to structural modifications such as substitution with different groups and condensation to aromatic, heteroaroma…
Redox Materials by the Covalent Entrapment of Redox-Active Dirhodium(II,II) Species in a Siloxane Network
2004
Hydrolysis and polycondensation of the coupling agent (aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APS), axially coordinated to the redox-active complex [Rh 2 (form) 2 (CH 3 COO) 2 -(APS) 2 ], lead to the insertion of redox-active inorganic microdomains into a siloxane network; the new polymers undergo cyclic redox reactions indicating that dirhodium(II,II) centres retain their redox activity even when incorporated into siloxane networks.
A slow process in confined polymer melts: layer exchange dynamics at a polymer solid interface
2010
Employing Molecular Dynamics simulations of a chemically realistic model of 1,4-polybutadiene between graphite walls we show that the mass exchange between layers close to the walls is a slow process already in the melt state. For the glass transition of confined polymers this process competes with the slowing down due to packing effects and intramolecular rotation barriers.
Copper(II) complexes of 3-aminopropanols. Synthesis and structure of (3-aminopropanolato)formatocopper(II)
1987
Abstract The crystal and molecular structure of the title compound has been determined from single-crystal X-ray data and refined to a final R value of 0.030 for 971 reflections. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with two dimeric molecules in a cell of dimensions a=856.9(1), b= 887.7(1), c=837.0(1) pm and β=99.55(1)°. The blue crystals of Cu(ap)(HCOO) (ap=3-aminopropanolato ion) are made of centrosymmetric dialkoxy bridged dimers (Cu…Cu 296.4(1) pm). The dimers are polymerized along the c axis into chains via two NHO hydrogen bonds (Cu…Cu 547.9(1) pm). These chains are joined together along the b axis by CuOCOCu bridges and NHO hydrogen bonds (Cu…Cu 462.2(1) pm…
Inter- and intramolecular non-covalent interactions in 1-methylimidazole-2-carbaldehyde complexes of copper, silver, and gold
2014
Abstract Three new imidazole compounds, [CuBr2(mimc)2] (1), [Ag(mimc)2][CF3SO3] (2), and [AuCl3(mimc)] (3) (mimc = 1-methylimidazole-2-carbaldehyde), have been synthesized, structurally characterized, and further analyzed using the QTAIM analysis. The compounds exhibit self-assembled 3D networks arising from intermolecular non-covalent interactions such as metallophilic interactions, metal-π contacts, halogens–halogen interactions, and hydrogen bonds. These weak interactions have a strong impact on the coordination sphere of the metal atoms and on the packing of compounds 1, 2, and 3.
Mechanical Behavior of Concrete Columns Confined by Laterally Pre-Tensioned FRP
2011
This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of concrete columns confined by a wound pre-tensioned carbon filament yarn. Yarn winding equipment was developed in the Institute of Polymer Mechanics with the ability to set the desired pre-tension force and thereby producing confined concrete specimens with different initial lateral pressure. It is shown that initial lateral pressure increases the axial stress at which intense internal cracking of the concrete develops.
ChemInform Abstract: Gold(I)-Catalyzed Intermolecular Cycloaddition of Allenamides with α,β-Unsaturated Hydrazones: Efficient Access to Highly Substi…
2015
α,β-Unsaturated N,N-dialkyl hydrazones undergo a mild [2 + 2] cycloaddition to allenamides when treated with a suitable gold catalyst. The method, which represents the first application of N,N-dialkyl hydrazones in gold catalysis, is compatible with a wide variety of substituents at the alkenyl moiety of the hydrazone component, proceeds with excellent levels of regio- and diastereoselectivity, and provides densely substituted cyclobutanes with good to excellent yields.
Host–guest inclusion complexes between peracetylated β-cyclodextrin and diphenyl(4-phenylphenyl)phosphine : computational studies
2006
PM3 and molecular dynamic calculations were performed upon the inclusion complexation of peracetylated β-cyclodextrin (Per-Ac-β-CD) with diphenyl(4-phenylphenyl)phosphine (DBP). Results show that the 4-phenylphenyl part of the DBP phosphine fits tightly in the cavity of the Per-Ac-β-CD, leading to the formation of stable inclusion complexes. Complexation energies indicate that the complex formed via the primary side of the Per-Ac-β-CD is more stable than that formed via the secondary side. Electrostatic potential mapping and frontier orbital analysis suggest that van der Waals interaction constitute a major driving force in the complexation of the DBP and Per-Ac-β-CD.
Spectrophotometric determination of binding constants between some aminocyclodextrins and nitrobenzene derivatives at various pH values
2002
Abstract The inclusion capacity of three modified cyclodextrins—namely mono-(6- N , N -dimethylamino-6-deoxy)- ( 3 ), mono-6-(2-aminoethyl)-amino-6-deoxy- ( 4 ) and mono-6-(2- N , N -dimethylaminoethyl)-amino-6-deoxy- ( 5 ) β-cyclodextrin, with six para -substituted nitrobenzenes ( A – F ) has been investigated at three different pH values. Molecular interactions in inclusion complexes have also been investigated by means of molecular mechanics (MM2/QD) models. The desolvation of the cyclodextrin is the most important factor in determining the binding ability of the various hosts. However, for a given host, electrostatic and van der Waals interactions and the formation of a hydrogen bond be…
Pauson–Khand reaction of fluorinated compounds
2020
The Pauson–Khand reaction (PKR) is one of the key methods for the construction of cyclopentenone derivatives, which can in turn undergo diverse chemical transformations to yield more complex biologically active molecules. Despite the increasing availability of fluorinated building blocks and methodologies to incorporate fluorine in compounds with biological interest, there have been few significant advances focused on the fluoro-Pauson–Khand reaction, both in the inter- and intramolecular versions. Furthermore, the use of vinyl fluorides as olefinic counterparts had been completely overlooked. In this review, we collect the advances both on the stoichiometric and catalytic intermolecular an…
