The discovery of new Bcl-2 protein-protein interaction antagonists is described. We replaced the northern fragment of ABT737 (π-π stacking interactions) with structurally simplified hydrophobic cage structures with much reduced conformational flexibility and rotational freedom. The binding mode of the compounds was elucidated by X-ray crystallography, and the compounds showed excellent oral bioavailability and clearance in rat PK studies.

First-principles calculations show that the geometric and electronic properties of silicene-related systems have diversified phenomena. Critical factors of group-IV monoelements, like buckled/planar structures, stacking configurations, layer numbers, and van der Waals interactions of bilayer composites, are considered simultaneously. The theoretical framework developed provides a concise physical and chemical picture.

Artificial van der Waals (vdW) heterojunctions assembled by atomically-thin two-dimensional (2D) materials have demonstrated new physical phenomena and unusual properties, thus triggering new electronic, optoelectronic, valleytronic and photocatalytic application. Herein, the electronic band structures of different vdW heterojunctions based on ternary Mo W Y (Y = S, Se; x = 0-1) monolayer with five stacking orders (AA, AA[Formula: see text], A[Formula: see text]B, AB, AB[Formula: see text]) have been investigated using first principle calculations. The direct/indirect band gap has been obtained in the AA[Formula: see text] stacking type-II heterojunctions, ranging from 0.

Dithiazolyl (DTA)-based radicals have furnished many examples of organic spin-transition materials, some of them occurring with hysteresis and some others without. Herein, we present a combined computational and experimental study aimed at deciphering the factors controlling the existence or absence of hysteresis by comparing the phase transitions of 4-cyanobenzo-1,3,2-dithiazolyl and 1,3,5-trithia-2,4,6-triazapentalenyl radicals, which are prototypical examples of non-bistable and bistable spin transitions, respectively. Both materials present low-temperature diamagnetic and high-temperature paramagnetic structures, characterized by dimerized (⋅⋅⋅A-A⋅⋅⋅A-A⋅⋅⋅) and regular (⋅⋅⋅A⋅⋅⋅A⋅⋅⋅A⋅⋅⋅A⋅⋅⋅) π-stacks of radicals, respectively.

A 500 and 300 MHz proton NMR study of the series of oligoarabinonucleotides 5'aAMP, 3'aAMP, aA-aA, (aA-)2aA and (aA-)3aA is presented. In addition, circular dichroism is used to study the stacking behaviour of aA-aA. The complete 1H-NMR spectral assignment of the compounds (except the tetramer) is given.
