The design, synthesis, and structure-activity relationships (SAR) of a series of 2-aminothiazol-5-yl-pyrimidines as novel p38α MAP kinase inhibitors are described. These efforts led to the identification of 41 as a potent p38α inhibitor that utilizes a unique nitrogen-sulfur intramolecular nonbonding interaction to stabilize the conformation required for binding to the p38α active site. X-ray crystallographic studies that confirm the proposed binding mode of this class of inhibitors in p38 α and provide evidence for the proposed intramolecular nitrogen-sulfur interaction are discussed.

A classical crystallization usually grows epitaxially from a crystal nucleus. Presented in this study is an unusual endotaxy growth manner of a crystalline homopolymer to form hexagonal nanosheets. The amphiphilic homopolymer, poly(3-(4-(phenyldiazenyl)phenoxy)propyl methacrylate) (PAzoPMA), is first annealed in isopropanol to afford a hexagonal nut-like structure.

Noncovalent interactions (NCI) play a central role in numerous physical, chemical, and biological phenomena. An accurate description of NCI is the key to success for any theoretical study in such areas. Although quantum mechanics (QM) methods such as dispersion-corrected density functional theory are sufficiently accurate, their applications are practical only for <300 atoms and <100 ps of simulation time.

A practical and efficient reaction for C2-selenylation of 1,4-naphthoquinones has been explored. This coupling reaction of two redox structural motifs, such as 2-bromo-1,4-naphthoquinone with diaryldiselenide / ebselen has been achieved by using sodium borohydride reducing agent at room temperature. Using this approach, several 2-selenylated-1,4-naphthoquinones were obtained in moderate to good yields and thoroughly characterized by multinuclear (1H, 13C, and 77Se) NMR, cyclic voltammetry, and mass spectrometry.

The crystal structure of a glycosyl-ated porphyrin () system, CHNO, where two iso-propyl-idene protected galactose moieties are attached to the position of a substituted tetra-aryl porphyrin is reported. This structure reveals that the parent porphyrin is planar, with the galactose moieties positioned above and below the porphyrin macrocycle. This orientation likely prevents porphyrin-porphyrin H-type aggregation, potentially enhancing its efficiency as a photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy.

Classical density functional theory (DFT) provides a versatile framework to study the polymers with complex topological structure. Generally, a classical DFT describes the excess Helmholtz free energy of nonbonded chain connectivity due to excluded-volume effects and electrostatic correlations using the first-order thermodynamic perturbation theory (referred to as DFT-TPT1). Beyond first-order perturbation, the second-order TPT (TPT2) captures not only the correlations between neighboring monomers but also the interactions within three consecutive monomers, playing a crucial role in describing the polymer topology.
