Bimane cyclic esters, possible stereologues of trypanothione as antitrypanosomal agents. Bimanes 29
摘要:
Tricyclic esters derived from bimanes have been synthesized with ring sizes near or equal to that of trypanothione disulfide (T(S)(2)), a bis-glutathionylspermidine that is involved in regulating the thiol status of Leishmania and other trypanosomatids. Modest activity for many of the compounds against Leishmania donovani with a maximum at the T(S)(2) ring size suggests that the esters act as T(S)(2) surrogates. However, no inhibition of T(S)(2)-reductase is observed for a number of the compounds. A series of tricyclic bimane amides with structures more closely analogous to T(S)2 are inactive in biological tests, New approaches were developed for the synthesis of the amides. The surprising effectiveness of the cyclic ester synthesis is explained. Acid chloride formation catalyzed by sulfides is briefly described.
investigated and proved to be promising prospects for efficient cancer therapy due to the abnormal high level of reactive oxygen species and glutathione in tumor microenvironment. Herein, three paclitaxel dimers (named as PTX2-R, R = S, Se and Te) bridged with alkyl sulfide, selenide or telluride are synthesized. These dimers can self-assemble into stable uniform nanoparticles (named as PTX2-R NPs, R = S
A water-based ink for ink jet recording, containing: a coloring agent; water; and a water-soluble organic solvent. The coloring agent contains a phosphate group-modified self-dispersing pigment. The water-based ink further contains at least one selected from the group consisting of boric acid, diglycolic acid, and a chelating agent.
