Chiral zirconium(IV) double cage sandwich complex has been synthesized in one step from porphyrin cage was obtained as a racemate, which was resolved by HPLC and the enantiomers were isolated in >99.5 % ee. Their absolute configurations were assigned on the basis of X-ray crystallography and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) experiments on the enantiomers of revealed that the chirality around the zirconium center is propagated throughout the whole cage structure. The axial conformational chirality of the double cage complex displayed a VCD fingerprint similar to the one observed previously for a related chiral cage compound with planar and point chirality. shows fluorescence, which is quenched when viologen guests bind in its cavities. The binding of viologen and dihydroxybenzene derivatives in the two cavities of occurs with negative allostery, the cooperativity factors α (=4 K/K) being as low as 0.0076 for the binding of -dimethylviologen. These allosteric effects are attributed to a pinching of the second cavity as a result of guest binding in the first cavity.

Purpose: Trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (Trop2) is overexpressed in various solid tumors and contributes to tumor progression, while its expression remains low in normal tissues. Trop2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (Trodelvy), has shown efficacy in targeting this antigen. Leveraging the enhanced specificity of ADCs, we conducted the first immunoPET imaging study of Trop2 expression in gastric cancer (GC) and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) models using Zr-labeled Trodelvy ([Zr]Zr-DFO-Trodelvy).

Electrospinning Membrane with Polyacrylate Mixed Beta-Cyclodextrin: An Efficient Adsorbent for Cationic Dyes.

Polymers (Basel)

January 2025

Institute of Textile Auxiliary and Ecological Dyeing Finishing, Nanjing Tech University, 30 South Puzhu Road, Nanjing 211816, China.

A simple and non-chemical binding nanofiber (-CD/PA) adsorbent was obtained by electrospinning a mixture of -cyclodextrin (-CD) and polyacrylate (PA). The cationic dyes in wastewater were removed by the host-guest inclusion complex of the -cyclodextrin and the electrostatic interaction between the polyacrylate and the dyes groups. The influence of the content of -cyclodextrin on the surface morphology and adsorption capacity of the nanofiber membrane was discussed, and the optimized adsorption capacity of nanofiber adsorption material was determined.

Entire Encapsulation of Thymopentin by Extended Biphen[3]arene Carboxylate for Improving Plasma Stability.

Molecules

January 2025

Academy of Interdisciplinary Studies on Intelligent Molecules, College of Chemistry, Tianjin Normal University, Tianjin 300387, China.

Peptide-based therapy is appealing in modern medicine owing to its high activity and excellent biocompatibility. Poor stability, leading to unacceptable bioavailability, severely constrains its clinical application. Here, we proposed a general supramolecular approach for improving the plasma resistance of a commercially available peptide agent, thymopentin.

Exploring the energetics and bimolecular interaction of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) with various classes and generations of antibiotics in the absence and presence of a resorcinol based acridinedione dye (ADR1) were carried out. The binding stability of BSA-antibiotic complexes decreases on the introduction of ADR1 dye resulting in a positive value of free energy change, accompanied with several unfavourable interactions. Several polar amino acids contributed to the stability of the host-guest complex compared to that of non-polar amino acids, wherein BSA acts as the host, and antibiotics as the guest and ADR1 dye as the competing guest molecule.

Achieving the adsorptive separation and chromatographic separation of industrially the important chemicals toluene and methylcyclohexane using the same material is a highly desirable goal. We have successfully accomplished this using a fluorinated macrocycle tetrafluoroterphen[3]arene (4FTP3), which was synthesized and used for gas chromatographic separation in our previous work. The macrocycle 4FTP3 permitted the adsorptive separation of toluene from a toluene/methylcyclohexane mixture (1:1, v/v) with a purity of 99.
