Three new 5-arylethynyl-2'-deoxyuridines containing bulky aryls have been prepared and tested against HSV-1 in Vero cells. The introduction of a substituent in the phenyl group of an inactive compound, 5-phenylethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine, leads to the appearance of anti-HSV properties. The most active compounds are those containing a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon residue attached to the 5 position of 2'-deoxyuridine through a rigid triple bond.

On-Demand Continuous Flow Synthesis of Pentafluorosulfanyl Chloride (SFCl) Using a Custom-Made Stirring Packed-Bed Reactor.

Chemistry

January 2025

Université de Montréal, FRQNT Centre in Green Chemistry and Catalysis, Centre for Continuous Flow Synthesis, Department of Chemistry, 1375 av. Thérèse Lavoie-Roux, Montréal, QC, H2V 0B3, Canada.

The pentafluorosulfanyl (SF-) group has been the subject of a surge of interest in the past decade, but there is still little practicality associated with its synthesis and installation. Herein is reported the first continuous flow synthesis of pentafluorosulfanyl chloride (SFCl), the most common reagent for the synthesis of SF-substituted compounds. The synthesis is based on inexpensive and easy-to-handle reagents: sulfur powder (S), trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) and potassium fluoride (KF).

Genetic and clinical spectrum of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome with nuclear pore gene mutation.

Pediatr Nephrol

January 2025

Department of Nephrology, Wuhan Children's Hospital (Wuhan Maternal and Child Healthcare Center), Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science & Technology, Wuhan, China.

Background: Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) is insensitive to steroid therapy and overwhelmingly progresses to kidney failure (KF), the known pathogenic genes of which include key subunits of the nuclear pore complex (NPC), a less-recognized contributor to glomerular podocyte injury.

Methods: After analyzing their clinical characterizations and obtaining parental consent, whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed on patients with SRNS. Several nucleoporin (NUP) biallelic pathogenic variants were identified and further analyzed by cDNA-PCR sequencing from white cells of peripheral blood, minigene assay, immunohistochemical (IHC) staining, and electron microscopy (EM) ultrastructure observation of kidney biopsy, as well as multiple in silico prediction tools, including 3D protein modeling.
