Y06014 is a selective BET inhibitor for the treatment of prostate cancer.

Bromodomain and extra-terminal proteins (BETs) are potential targets for the therapeutic treatment of prostate cancer (PC). Herein, we report the design, the synthesis, and a structure-activity relationship study of 6-(3,5-dimethylisoxazol-4-yl)benzo[cd]indol-2(1H)-one derivative as novel selective BET inhibitors. One representative compound, 19 (Y06014), bound to BRD4(1) in the low micromolar range and demonstrated high selectivity for BRD4(1) over other non-BET bromodomain-containing proteins.

Organocatalytic sulfa-Michael/aldol cascade: constructing functionalized 2,5-dihydrothiophenes bearing a quaternary carbon stereocenter.

A practical sulfa-Michael/aldol cascade reaction of 1,4-dithiane-2,5-diol and α-aryl-β-nitroacrylates has been developed, which allows efficient access to functionalized 2,5-dihydrothiophenes bearing a quaternary carbon stereocenter in moderate to good yields with high enantioselectivities.

Effect of CaCN on the preparation of CaAlSiN :Eu phosphors.

Highly efficient red-emitting phosphors, CaAlSiN :Eu , were successfully prepared by the solid-state method using calcium cyanide (CaCN ) as the single calcium source. The influences of crystallization temperature, crystallization time, calcination mode and compounds ratio on the photoluminescent properties were investigated. The CaAlSiN :Eu phosphors were obtained with 1 mol% CaCN by a two-step calcination procedure at 900°C for 2 h and subsequently at 1600°C for 8 h.

A new water-soluble phosphorus-dipyrromethene and phosphorus-azadipyrromethene dye: PODIPY/aza-PODIPY.

PODIPY and aza-PODIPY have been successfully prepared by the treatment of dipyrromethene and azadipyrromethene with POCl3 in the presence of Et3 N. The new PODIPY and aza-PODIPY dyes are found to have photophysical properties. PODIPY and aza-PODIPY are water-soluble, and aza-PODIPY is suited for labeling living Hep-2 cells for imaging assays in the near-infrared region.

Study on luminescence behavior of BaAl12O19:Tb, Eu.

BaAl12O19:Tb, Eu phosphors were prepared by sol-gel technique. The luminescence properties and the energy transfer between Eu2+ and Tb3+ were investigated. For BaAll2O19:Tb phosphor, the strongest excitation peak and emission peak produced from Tb3+ transition of 5D4-7F5 were at 240 nm and at 550 nm respectively, while the peak shape was narrow and peak intensity was large.

The sol-gel process synthesis of GdAl3(BO3)4:Eu3+ nanophosphors.

GdAl3(BO3)4:Eu3+ red phosphors were prepared using citric acid as complex agent by sol-gel technique. The preparation conditions of the precursor synthesis, including crystallization temperature and crystallization time were investigated. Their structure and luminescence properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and fluorescence spectrometry.

Preparation of Eu3+-Y3+ coactivating Na+ based red-emitting luminous materials for light-emitting diodes and investigation of its characteristics.

By solid-state reaction and doping, a series of red-emitting phosphors Na(x)Y(0.92-x/3)(MoO(4))(y)(WO(4))(1-y)O(0.5) : zEu(3+) have been synthesized.

Instense red phosphors for UV light emitting diode devices.

Ca(x)Sr1-x-1.5y-0.5zMoO4:yEu3+ zNa+ red phosphors were prepared by solid-state reaction using Na+ as charge supply for LEDs (light emitting diodes).
