The synthesis, structural analysis, and evaluation of the photophysical properties of twelve novel 2-aryl(heteroaryl)-6-(4-alkyl(aryl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)quinolines (6-8), where aryl(heteroaryl)=Ph, 4-Me-C H , 4-F-C H and 2- furyl; 4-alkyl(aryl)=-CH OH, -(CH ) CH and Ph, are reported. Hybrid scaffolds 6-8 were synthesized at 77-95 % yields by regioselective copper-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction of unpublished 6-azido-4-(trifluoromethyl)quinolines (2) with selected terminal alkynes (3-5). Azido intermediates 2 were obtained from the reaction of 6-amino-4-(trifluoromethyl)quinolines (1) and sodium azide at good yields (78-87 %). Compounds 6-8 were structurally fully characterized by H-, C- and F- and H- C 2D-NMR (HSQC, HMBC) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) and HRMS analysis. Moreover, the photophysical properties, DNA- and HSA-binding experiments (bio-interactions), and molecular docking studies for compounds 6-8 were performed. These are discussed and compared with similar compounds from recent research.

Nanomaterials that engage in well-defined and tunable interactions with proteins are pivotal for the development of advanced applications. Achieving a precise molecular-level understanding of nano-bio interactions is essential for establishing these interactions. However, such an understanding remains challenging and elusive.

Gold nanoparticles functionalized with organic cationic ligands have shown promise as biomedical agents, but their interactions with cellular membranes are not yet well-understood and design rules for ligands that promote desired cellular interactions are lacking. Past experimental studies have demonstrated that ligand lipophilicity, quantified by the ligand end group partition coefficient, can be used as a descriptor for predicting nano-bio interactions, but such a descriptor is incapable accounting for ligand architecture, such as chain branching. To probe the effects of ligand end group architecture on ligand-lipid interactions, we perform molecular dynamics simulations to investigate how ligand alkyl chain branching modulates the thermodynamics and mechanisms of nanoparticle adsorption to lipid membranes.

Allergic diseases affect more than a quarter of individuals in industrialized countries, and are a major public health concern. The high-affinity Fc receptor for immunoglobulin E (FcεRI), which is mainly present on mast cells and basophils, has a crucial role in allergic diseases. Monomeric immunoglobulin E (IgE) binding to FcεRI regulates mast cell survival, differentiation and maturation.

Controlling the polymorphic assemblies of α-synuclein (αS) oligomers is crucial to reroute toxic protein aggregation implicated in Parkinson's disease (PD). One potential mediator is the interaction of αS tetramers with cell membranes, which may regulate the dynamic balance between aggregation-prone disordered monomers and aggregation-resistant helical tetramers. Here, we model diverse tetramer-cell interactions and compare the structure-function relations at the supramolecular-biological interface with available experimental data.
