The cationic cyclen based Eu(III)-phen conjugated 1.Eu was synthesised as a chemosensor for Cu(II), where the recognition in water at pH 7.4 gave rise to quenching of the Eu(III) luminescence and the formation of tetranuclear polymetallic Cu(II)-Eu(III) macrocyclic complexes in solution where Cu(II) was bound by three 1.Eu conjugates.

Article Synopsis
  • Selective binding and optical sensing of Zn(II) and Cd(II) in water were studied using different receptors (L1, HL2, L3, HL4, HL5) to see how complex stability affects metal signaling.
  • The receptors all have a cyclic tetra-amine structure combined with either one or two quinoline or 8-hydroxyquinoline units, influencing their properties and interactions.
  • The study showed that Zn(II) forms more stable complexes with some receptors, while Cd(II) complexes benefit from better fitting in specific cavities, leading to unique optical behaviors for each metal in their respective complexes.

Here, we report the synthesis and self-assembly of a novel chiral 2,3:6,7‒naphthalenediimide-based triangular macrocycle (NDI-∆) and their chiroptical properties. The enantiomeric NDI-∆ is synthesized by condensation of (RR) or (SS)-trans-1,2-cyclohexanediamine and 2,3,6,7-naphthalenetetracarboxylic 2,3:6,7-dianhydride, in which the chirality of the macrocycles is controlled by the diamine. With the rigid outer π-surface, the macrocycle showed unique chiroptical properties and self-assembly modes.

The one-pot transamination reactions on a zwitterionic benzoquinonemonoimine yield either a quinoxaline derivative or bis-zwitterionic macrocycles, depending on the number of carbon atoms bridging primary polyamines. These latter products, featuring two confined donor cavities, are the result of a [2 + 2] condensation without the need for template effect or high dilution conditions.

Structure-Based Design of "Head-to-Tail" Macrocyclic PROTACs.

JACS Au

December 2024

State Key Laboratory of Chemical Biology, Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, No. 345 Lingling Road, Shanghai 200032, China.

Macrocyclization is a compelling strategy for conventional drug design for improving biological activity, target specificity, and metabolic stability, but it was rarely applied to the design of PROTACs possibly due to the mechanism and structural complexity. Herein, we report the rational design of the first series of "Head-to-Tail" macrocyclic PROTACs. The resulting molecule exhibited pronounced Brd4 protein degradation with low nM DC values while almost totally dismissing the "hook effect", which is a general character and common concern of a PROTAC, in multiple cancer cell lines.

Gadopiclenol: A q = 2 Gadolinium-Based MRI Contrast Agent Combining High Stability and Efficacy.

Invest Radiol

October 2024

From the Research and Innovation Department, Guerbet, Roissy, France (I.M., M.-C.D.G., J.-F.M., A.D., Y.B., N.D., I.S., G.B., C.M., C.F., O.R., S.C.); General, Organic, and Biomedical Chemistry Unit, NMR and Molecular Imaging Laboratory, University of Mons, Mons, Belgium (C.H., S.L.); and Institute of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry, University of Münster, Münster, Germany (C.K., T.J.M., U.K.).

Objectives: Gadopiclenol is a q = 2 pyclen gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration, European Medicines Agency, and other European countries. The aim of this report is to demonstrate its stability in multiple stressed in vitro conditions and in vivo, in rat kidney, while maintaining its higher relaxivity compared with conventional GBCAs on the market.

Materials And Methods: Both gadopiclenol and its chemical precursor Pi828-Gd were characterized and compared with q = 1 gadolinium (Gd) complexes.
