Three novel analogues of C22-fluoro-25-hydroxyvitamin D (-) were synthesized and evaluated to investigate the effects of side-chain fluorination on biological activity and metabolism of vitamin D. These novel analogues were constructed by convergent synthesis applying the Wittig-Horner coupling reaction between CD-ring ketones (,,) and A-ring phosphine oxide (). The introduction of C22-fluoro units was achieved by stereoselective deoxy-fluorination for synthesizing and or two-step cationic fluorination for . The absolute configuration of the C22-fluoro-8-oxo-CD-ring () was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic structure determination. The basic biological activity of the side-chain fluorinated analogues, including compounds (-), was evaluated. Generally, osteocalcin promoter transactivation activity decreased in the order of C24-fluoro, C23-fluoro, and C22-fluoro analogues. In addition, the metabolic stability of C22-fluoro-25-hydroxyvitamin D (-) against hCYP24A1 metabolism was also evaluated. 22,22-Difluoro-25(OH)D () was more stable against hCYP24A1 metabolism compared with its non-fluorinated counterpart 25-hydroxyvitamin D (), but fluorination at the C22 position had little effect on the metabolic stability compared with C24- and C23-fluoro analogues. Our research clarified that side-chain fluorination in vitamin D markedly changes CYP24A1 metabolic stability depending on the fluorinating position.

Non-fused electron acceptors have obtained increasing curiosity in organic solar cells (OSCs) thanks to simple synthetic route and versatile chemical modification capabilities. However, non-fused acceptors with varying quinoxaline core and as-cast device have rarely been explored, and the molecular structure-photovoltaic performance relationship of such acceptors remains unclear. Herein, two non-fused acceptors L19 and L21 with thienyl substituted non-fluorinated/fluorinated quinoxaline core were developed via five-step synthesis.

Article Synopsis
  • A-ring modifications in 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D enhance its binding to the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and increase its stability in cells by resisting metabolism, leading to longer-lasting effects.
  • Various modified A-ring precursors synthesized from d-glucose showed specific biological activities with minimal calcemic side effects, including MART-10's potent antitumor effects in cancer models and AH-1's superior bone-forming properties in osteoporosis models compared to natural vitamin D.
  • Ongoing research includes developing a library of fluorinated vitamin D analogs with potential anti-inflammatory effects and therapeutic applications for conditions like psoriasis, alongside the creation of the VDR-silent analog KK-052, which selectively inhibits SREBP/SC

Efficient synthesis of fluorinated triphenylenes with enhanced arene-perfluoroarene interactions in columnar mesophases.

The high potential of non-covalent arene-fluoroarene intermolecular interactions in the design of liquid crystals lies in their ability to strongly promote self-assembly, improve the order and stability of the supramolecular mesophases, and enable tuneability of the optical and electronic properties, which can potentially be exploited for advanced applications in display technologies, photonic devices, sensors, and organic electronics. We recently successfully reported the straightforward synthesis of several mesogens containing four lateral aliphatic chains and derived from the classical triphenylene core self-assembling in columnar mesophases based on this paradigm. These mesogenic compounds were simply obtained in good yields by the nucleophilic substitution (SFAr) of various types of commercially available fluoroarenes with the electrophilic organolithium derivatives 2,2'-dilithio-4,4',5,5'-tetraalkoxy-1,1'-biphenyl (2Li- ).

In this study, a series of new methoxy ester functionalized core fluorinated, chloro-fluorinated azobenzene derivatives were synthesized. The molecular structures of the azobenzene derivatives (3a-3c and 4a-4c) were confirmed through various analytical methods, with variations in the alkoxy chain length on one end of the aromatic ring. Optical absorption studies of 3a, 3b revealed π-π* transitions around 368-392 nm.

Article Synopsis
  • Traditional data mining methods struggle to build effective deep learning predictive models for organic photovoltaic materials due to limited data and complex model decisions.
  • A new directed message passing neural network model featuring transfer learning and the chemprop interpreter achieves strong prediction results for energy levels (HOMO and LUMO) in organic materials, outperforming four other models in testing.
  • The study also identifies and designs new IT-series derivatives, demonstrating that modifications to molecular structures can significantly affect energy levels, while ensuring the model's predictions align with established density functional theory calculations.
