Phenanthridin-6-one derivatives as the first class of non-steroidal pharmacological chaperones for Niemann-Pick disease type C1 protein
摘要:
Niemann-Pick disease type C is a fatal, progressive neurodegenerative disease mostly caused by mutations in Nieamnn-Pick type C1 (NPC1), a late endosomal membrane protein that is essential for intracellular cholesterol transport. The most prevalent mutation, I1061T (Ile to Thr), interferes with the protein folding process. Consequently, mutated but intrinsically functional NPC1 proteins are prematurely degraded via proteasome, leading to loss of NPC1 function. Previously, we reported sterol derivatives as pharmacological chaperones for NPC1, and showed that these derivatives can normalize folding-defective phenotypes of I1061T NPC1 mutant by directly binding to, and stabilizing, the protein. Here, we report a series of compounds containing a phenanthridin-6-one scaffold as the first class of non-steroidal pharmacological chaperones for NPC1. We also examined their structure-activity relationships. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Long-Lived Luminogenic Probe for Detection of RNA in a Crude Solution of Living Bacterial Cells
摘要:
A pre-type sensitizer for a lanthanide complex on an oligonucleotide was successfully converted to a perfect final structure in a target DNA/RNA-templated reaction, without any chemical reagent or enzyme, under neutral conditions. The final form of the lanthanide oligonucleotide provided a long-lived luminescence signal, appropriate for time-gated luminescence analysis and signal amplification. Target DNA/RNA-assisted time-gated luminescence analysis is a powerful tool for elimination of autofluorescence and detection of target RNA in living bacterial cells.
A traceless directing group assisted Co-catalyzed C(sp2)–H carbonylation of ortho-arylanilines for the synthesis of free (NH)-phenanthridinones in metal-based-oxidant-free fashion was accomplished. This protocol employs diisopropyl azodicarboxylate as the CO source and oxygen as the sole oxidant, and provides good yields with various functional tolerance. The methodology has been applied for the total
An efficient synthesis of free (NH)-phenanthridinones through Pd-catalyzed C(sp(2))-H aminocarbonylation of unprotected o-arylanilines under an atmospheric pressure of CO has been developed. Some ortho heteroarene substituted anilines as well as N-alkyl protected o-arylanilines are also suitable substrates for this C-H aminocarbonylation reaction.

Transition-metal-catalyzed lactamization and lactonization of C–H bonds with CO2 assisted by the chelation of amino or hydroxyl groups have been developed but limited to the use of precious metal catalysts such as palladium and rhodium. In this work, we report the nonprecious metal nickel-catalyzed lactamization reaction of 2-arylanilines with CO2 under redox-neutral conditions via C–H bond activation
