AI Article Synopsis

  • The research focuses on the asymmetric synthesis of D- and L-apio-2',3'-dideoxynucleoside analogues from D-galactose using a common intermediate.
  • Stereoselective methods such as dihydroxylation and deoxygenation were applied to create the D-apio structure, while hydroboration-oxidation was used for the L-apio structure.
  • The work highlights the successful application of these stereoselective techniques in producing key intermediates necessary for the synthesis of these nucleoside analogues.

Article Abstract

The present work describes the asymmetric synthesis of D- and L-apio-2',3'-dideoxynucleoside analogues, 4 and 5 with 2'-hydroxyl group via a common intermediate 9, starting from D-galactose. Stereoselective dihydroxylation and deoxygenation through radical inversion were successfully employed to synthesize the key intermediate 12 with D-apio structure, while stereoselecetive hydroboration-oxidation was used for the synthesis of another key intermediate 18 with L-apio structure.

Co-contamination of ciprofloxacin (CIP) and Cu(II) is common in marine aquaculture water. However, the transmission and transformation of these substances in natural water matrices are often overlooked. This study sought to assess the impact of Cu(II) on CIP degradation in distilled (DI) and simulated (SI) mariculture water, as well as to develop a relationship between Cu(II), CIP, and its degradation products.

cGAMP is a signaling molecule produced by the cGAS-DNA complex to establish antimicrobial and antitumor immunity through STING. Whereas STING activation holds potential as a new strategy to treat cancer, cGAMP is generally considered unsuitable for in vivo use because of the rapid cleavage of its phosphodiester linkages and the limited cellular uptake under physiological conditions. Consequently, phosphorothioation and fluorination are commonly used to improve the metabolic stability and permeability of cGAMP and its synthetic analogues.

Although small interfering RNA (siRNA) is a key player among gene inhibition therapeutics, there are many obstacles to the development of siRNA drugs due to inherent properties of oligonucleotides, including the unsatisfactory stability of unmodified siRNA, poor pharmacokinetic distribution, and the toxicity induced by off-target effects. To maximize treatment potency, chemical modification of siRNA has undoubtedly been the most successful strategy by far. Widely applied modifications include phosphorothioate linkages, 2'-O-methyl modifications, and 2'-fluoro modifications, among others.

RNA structures and interactions in living cells drive a variety of biological processes and play critical roles in physiology and disease states. However, studies of RNA structures and interactions have been challenging due to limitations in available technologies. Direct determination of structures in vitro has been only possible to a small number of RNAs with limited sizes and conformations.

Two-dimensional Quantum Spin Hall (QSH) insulators featuring edge states that are topologically protected against back-scattering are arising as a novel state of quantum matter. One of the major obstacles to finding QSH insulators operable at room temperature is the insufficiency of suitable materials demonstrating the QSH effect with a large bulk band gap. Plumbene, the latest group-IV graphene analogous material, shows a large SOC-induced band gap opening but the coupling between topological states at different momentum points makes it a topologically trivial insulator.
