Signal-Processing and Adaptive Prototissue Formation in Metabolic DNA Protocells

2021

Abstract The fundamental life-defining processes in living cells, such as replication, division, adaptation, and tissue formation, take place via intertwined metabolic reaction networks orchestrating downstream signal processing in a confined, crowded environment with high precision. Hence, it is crucial to understand and reenact some of these functions in wholly synthetic cell-like entities (protocells) to envision designing soft-materials with life-like traits. Herein, we report on a programmable all-DNA protocell (PC) composed of a liquid DNA interior and a hydrogel-like shell, harboring DNAzyme active sites in the interior whose catalytic bond-cleaving activity leads to a downstream phe…

On the rearrangement of some Z-arylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-phenylisoxazoles into 2-aryl-4-phenacyl-2H-1,2,3-triazoles: a kinetic study of the subst…

2015

Abstract The rearrangement of eight new Z -arylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-phenylisoxazoles ( 3d – k ) into the relevant 2-aryl-4-phenacyl-2 H -1,2,3-triazoles ( 4d – k ) in dioxane/water solution at different proton concentrations has been quantitatively studied in a wide temperature range (293–333 K). The data collected together with some our previous ones on compounds 3a – c have allowed a deep study of the substituent effects on the course of the rearrangement, thus increasing our knowledge on the Boulton–Katritzky reactions in isoxazole derivatives and on the temperature effects on free energy relationships.

Unexpected synthesis by a non-classical Pschorr reaction of 3,5-dimethyl-1-phenyl-1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolin-4-one, with binding affinity…

2014

The reaction of the diazonium salt 12 derived from N-(2-aminophenyl)-N,3-dimethyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide with copper sulfate and sodium chloride in the presence of ascorbic acid afforded the unexpected products 3,5-dimethyl-1-phenyl-1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]¬quinolin-4-one (17) and N-methyl-2-(3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)aniline (19), accompanied by N-(2-chlorophenyl)-N,3-dimethyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide (18). Products 17 and 19 are formed via a non-classical Pschorr reaction. The formation of 17 represents an alternative to the literature synthesis of this biologically active compound. The molecular structure of 18 was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray ana…

Drug-induced and iatrogenic infiltrative lung disease.

2004

At present more than 350 drugs are known to cause injury of the lung parenchyma,upper and lower airways, pulmonary circulation, pleura, mediastinum, lymph nodes,and neuromuscular system. Infiltrative lung disease (ILD) is the most common pattern of drug-induced injury. This article, which is clinically oriented rather than drug oriented, reviews the patterns of ILD produced by therapeutic drugs and radiation therapy.

Tropomyosin: A panallergen that causes a worldwide allergic problem

2021

Background: Panallergens are proteins that take part in key processes of organisms and, therefore, are ubiquitously distributed with highly conserved sequences and structures. One class of these panallergens is composed of the tropomyosins. The highly heat-stable tropomyosins comprise the major allergens in crustaceans and mollusks, which make them important food allergens in exposed populations. Tropomyosins are responsible for a widespread immunoglobulin E cross-reactivity among allergens from different sources. Allergic tropomyosins are expressed in many species, including parasites and insects. Methods: This panallergen class is divided, according to it capacity of induced allergic symp…

An unexpected Dimroth rearrangement leading to annelated thieno[3,2-d][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines with potent antitumor activity.

2013

An unusual Dimroth rearrangement occurring in the reaction leading to annelated thieno[2,3-e][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine core allowed the isolation of the linear isomer thieno[3,2-d][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine. By decorating the linear isomer with the same chains that improved the biological activity of the angular isomers, new annelated thieno[3,2-d][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines were designed and synthesized. They were selected by the Developmental Therapeutics Program (DTP) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for the anticancer screening against a panel of 60 human tumor cell lines. The biological results showed that the new derivatives exhibited strong antiproliferative …

New annelated thieno[2,3-e][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines, with potent anticancer activity, designed through VLAK protocol

2012

Drug design was performed through the Virtual Lock-and-Key (VLAK) protocol. This in silico approach allowed to select new annelated thienotriazolopyrimidine derivatives, potentially antitumor drugs. Starting from benzothieno[2,3-e][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine and Pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[2,3-e][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine core structures, new derivatives of these nuclei were designed and synthesized. Three of them were selected by the Development Therapeutical Program (DTP) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for the anticancer screening against a panel of 60 human tumor cell lines. The biological results showed that the new derivatives exhibited an excellent antiproliferative act…

A theoretical study of the gas-phase chemi-ionization reaction between uranium and oxygen atoms

2005

The U+O chemi-ionization reaction has been investigated by quantum chemical methods. Potential-energy curves have been calculated for several electronic states of UO and UO+. Comparison with the available spectroscopic and thermodynamic values for these species is reported and a mechanism for the chemi-ionization reaction U+O -> UO++e(-) is proposed. The U+O and Sm+O chemi-ionization reactions are the first two metal-plus-oxidant chemi-ionization reactions to be studied theoretically in this way.

Color glass condensate at next-to-leading order meets HERA data

2020

We perform the first dipole picture fit to HERA inclusive cross section data using the full next-to-leading order (NLO) impact factor combined with an improved Balitsky-Kovchegov evolution including the dominant effects beyond leading logarithmic accuracy at low $x$. We find that three different formulations of the evolution equation that have been proposed in the recent literature result in a very similar description of HERA data, and robust predictions for future deep inelastic scattering experiments. We find evidence pointing towards a significant nonperturbative contribution to the structure function for light quarks, which stresses the need to extend the NLO impact factor calculation t…
