A series of new arylhydrazone chromophores containing pentafluorophenyl as electronic acceptor are synthesized and found to exhibit significantly blue-shifted absorption in comparison with the corresponding 4-nitrophenyl analogues while keeping β value in the same order, and this may provide a new opportunity for defeating nonlinearity-transparency trade-off in designing second-order nonlinear optical chromophores.

The design and application of an effective, new class of multifunctional small molecule inhibitors of amyloid self-assembly are described. Several compounds based on the diaryl hydrazone scaffold were designed. Forty-four substituted derivatives of this core structure were synthesized using a variety of benzaldehydes and phenylhydrazines and characterized. The inhibitor candidates were evaluated in multiple assays, including the inhibition of amyloid beta (A beta) fibrillogenesis and oligomer formation and the reverse processes, the disassembly of preformed fibrils and oligomers. Because the structure of the hydrazone-based inhibitors mimics the redox features of the antioxidant resveratrol, the radical scavenging effect of the compounds was evaluated by colorimetric assays against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and superoxide radicals. The hydrazone scaffold was active in all of the different assays. The structure-activity relationship revealed that the substituents on the aromatic rings had a considerable effect on the overall activity of the compounds. The inhibitors showed strong activity in fibrillogenesis inhibition and disassembly, and even greater potency in the inhibition of oligomer formation and oligomer disassembly. Supporting the quantitative fluorometric and colorimetric assays, size exclusion chromatographic studies indicated that the best compounds practically eliminated or substantially inhibited the formation of soluble, aggregated A beta species, as well. Atomic force microscopy was also applied to monitor the morphology of A beta deposits. The compounds also possessed the predicted antioxidant properties; approximately 30% of the synthesized compounds showed a radical scavenging effect equal to or better than that of resveratrol or ascorbic acid.

A series of pyrazolino[60]fullerenes has been prepared in one pot by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to C-60 of the corresponding nitrile in-tine, which was generated in situ from the corresponding hydrazone. A range of donors and acceptors were introduced as substituents. Electrochemical and photophysical studies have revealed weak ground-state interactions between the organic addends and the fullerene sphere. Steady-state fluorescence has shown that, in both toluene and benzonitrile solutions, an efficient electron transfer process takes place when a strong donor is attached to the pyrazolino[60]fullerene system.
