摘要:
The self-assembly of 2,4,6-tris(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,5-triazine (tpt) triangular panels with p-cymene (pPr(i)C(6)H(4)Me) ruthenium building blocks and 2,5-dioxydo-1,4-benzoquinonato (dobq) or 5,8-dioxydo-1,4-naphthoquinonato (donq) bridges, in the presence of a pyrenyl-nucleoside derivatives (pyreneR),. affords the triangular prismatic host guest compounds [(pyrene-R)CRu6(pPr(i)C(6)H(4)Me)(6)(tpt)(2)(dobq)(3)](6+) ([(pyrene-R)C1](6+)) and [(pyrene-R)CRu6(pPr(i)C(6)H(4)Me)(6)(tpt)(2)(donq)(3)](6+) ([(pyrene-R)C2](6+)), respectively. The inclusion of six monosubstituted pyrenyl-nucleosides (pyrene-R1 = 5'-(1-pyrenyl butanoate)-2'-deoxyuridine, pyrene-R2 = 5-fluoro-5'-(1-pyrenyl butanoate)-2'-deoxyuridine, pyrene-R3 = 5'-{N-[1-oxo-4-(1-pyrenyl)butyl]glycyl}-2'-deoxyuridine, pyrene-R4 = 5-fluoro-5'-{N[1-oxo-4-(1-pyrenyl)butyl]-glycyl}2'-deoxyuridine, pyrene-R5 = 5-fluoro-5'-{N-[1-oxo-4-(1-pyrenyl)butyl]-phenylalanyl}-2'-deoxyvuridine, pyrene-R6 = 5-fluoro-5'-{N-[1-oxo-4-(1-pyrenyl)butyl]-phenylalanyl}-2'-deoxyuridine) has been accomplished. The carceplex nature of [(pyrene-R)C1](6+) with the pyrenyl moiety firmly encapsulated in the hydrophobic cavity of the cage with the nucleoside groups pointing outward was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), while the host-guest nature of [(pyrene-R)C2](6+) was studied in solution by NMR techniques. In contrast to the floxuridine compounds used in the clinic, the host-guest complexes are highly water-soluble. Consequently, the cytotoxicities of these water-soluble compounds have been established using human ovarian A2780 and A2780cisR cancer cells. All the host guest systems are more cytotoxic than the empty cages alone [1][CF3SO3](6) (IC50 = 23 mu M) and [2][CF3SO3](6) (IC50 = 10 mu M), the most active compound [pyrene-R4C1][CF3SO3](6) being 2 orders of magnitude more cytotoxic (IC50 = 0.3 mu M) on these human ovarian cancer cell lines (A2780 and A2780cisR).

Making the right signals: Reactions in which the DNA target acts as a catalyst allow amplifiedsignaling in the detection of DNA. The reactivity of the peptide nucleicacid (PNA) probes determines whether a given probe set provides high sensitivity or high selectivity. The careful adjustment of reactivity, probe affinity, and the use of a product‐selectivereadout method allows improvements in the

Blocking the interaction between phosphotyrosine (pTyr)-containing activated receptors and the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain of the growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb 2) is considered to be an effective and non-cytotoxic strategy to develop new anti-proliferate agents due to its potential to shut down the Ras activation pathway. In this study, a series of phosphotyrosine containing cyclic pentapeptides were designed and synthesized based upon the phage library derived cyclopeptide, G1TE. A comprehensive SAR study was also carried out to develop potent Grb2-SH2 domain antagonists based upon this novel template. With both the peptidomimetic optimization of the amino acid side-chains and the constraint of the backbone conformation guided by molecular modeling, we developed several potent antagonists with low micromolar range binding affinity, such as cyclic peptide 15 with an K(d) = 0.359 mu M, which is providing a novel template for the development of Grb2-SH2 domain antagonists as potential therapeutics for certain cancers.
