Convenient synthesis and chemical modification of the potent alpha-L-fucosidase inhibitor, 5a-carba-alpha-DL-fucopyranosylamine (1), are described. Among seven N-substituted and three cyclic isourea derivatives newly prepared, the N-octyl derivative was found to be the strongest inhibitor of alpha-L-fucosidase (bovine kidney) more potent (K(i)=0.016 microM) than deoxyfuconojirimycin (K(i)=0.031 microM) with p-nitrophenyl-alpha-L-fucopyranoside as the substrate.

The Ph3P-I2-mediated reactions between isatins and amines were extensively investigated leading to the discovery of highly selective and divergent routes toward the synthesis of two distinct classes of indole-based frameworks. Through a strategic design of the reaction paths, we overcome potential side reactions to achieve convenient and straightforward one-pot methods to access either indoloquinazolines with C-12 carboxamide or 2-aminosubstituted indol-3-ones using the same reagent system. Mechanistic studies reveal the role of Ph3P-I2 in governing product selectivity, providing an efficient route to novel fused-indolone derivatives with promising applications in drug discovery and medicinal chemistry.

Efficient room-temperature sensors for toxic gases are essential to ensure a safe and healthy life. Conducting frameworks have shown great promise in advancing gas sensing technologies. In this study, two new organic-inorganic frameworks [CuX(PPh)(L)], CP1 (X = I) and CP2 (X = Br) have been synthesized using (pyridin-4-yl)-N-(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)methanimine (L) and triphenylphosphine.

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a heterogeneous group of immature myeloid cells playing a critical role in immune suppression. In vitro-generated MDSCs are a convenient tool to study the properties of tumour-associated MDSCs. Here, we compared six protocols for in vitro generation of functional mouse MDSCs from bone marrow progenitors.

A photoinduced copper-mediated acyloxylation of arylthianthrenium or arylphenoxathiinium salts with either aliphatic or aromatic carboxylic acids is described for the convenient synthesis of -aryl esters. The reaction has shown obvious advantages, such as high efficiency, good functional group tolerance, excellent chemoselectivity, and capacity for esterification of complex drug molecules, offering a practical synthetic route to multifunctionalized and sterically congested -aryl esters, which are potentially useful in the development of new prodrugs or twin drugs.

Troponins and Skeletal Muscle Pathologies.

Biochemistry (Mosc)

December 2024

Faculty of Biology, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, 119234, Russia.

Skeletal muscles account for ~30-40% of the total weight of human body and are responsible for its most important functions, including movement, respiration, thermogenesis, and glucose and protein metabolism. Skeletal muscle damage negatively impacts the whole-body functioning, leading to deterioration of the quality of life and, in severe cases, death. Therefore, timely diagnosis and therapy for skeletal muscle dysfunction are important goals of modern medicine.
