α-Lipoic acid (α-LA), a natural thiol antioxidant, and Tempol, a synthetic free radical scavenger, are known to confer neuroprotection following ischemic insults in both in vivo and in vitro models. The aim of this study was to synthesize and characterize a conjugate of α-LA and Tempol linked by polyethylene glycol (PEG) in order to generate a more efficacious neuroprotectant molecule. AD3 (α-Tempol ester-ω-lipo ester PEG) was synthesized, purified, and characterized by flash chromatography and reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography and by H nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry.

Polyesters derived from the α-hydroxy acids, lactic acid, and glycolic acid, are the most common biodegradable polymers in clinical use. These polymers have been tailored for a range of applications that require a physical material possessing. The physical and mechanical properties of these polymers fit the specific application and also safely biodegrade.

Rel proteins in bacteria synthesize the signal molecules (p)ppGpp that trigger the Stringent Response, responsible for bacterial survival. Inhibiting the activity of such enzymes prevents the Stringent Response, resulting in the inactivation of long-term bacterial survival strategies, leading to bacterial cell death. Herein, we describe a series of deoxyguanosine-based analogs of the Relacin molecule that inhibit in vitro the synthetic activity of Rel proteins from Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria, providing a deeper insight on the SAR for a better understanding of their potential interactions and inhibitory activity.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by the presence of p210(Bcr-Abl) which exhibits an abnormal kinase activity. Selective Abl kinase inhibitors have been successfully established for the treatment of CML. Despite high rates of clinical response, CML patients can develop resistance against these kinase inhibitors mainly due to point mutations within the Abl protein kinase domain.
