Herein, we report the design, the synthesis, and the study of novel triphenyl phosphonium-based nucleoside conjugates. 2'-Deoxycytidine was chosen as nucleosidic cargo, as it allows the introduction of fluorescein on the exocyclic amine of the nucleobase and grafting of the vector was envisaged through the formation of a biolabile ester bond with the hydroxyl function at the 5'-position. Compound was identified as a potential nucleoside prodrug, showing ability to be internalized efficiently into cells and to be co-localized with mitochondria.

Bioorthogonal click-release chemistry is a cutting-edge tool for exploring and manipulating biomolecule functions in native biological systems. However, it is challenging to achieve the precise regulation or therapy of individual cells via click-release strategies driven by proximity and thermodynamics. Herein, we propose a novel photoclick-release approach based on a photo-induced cycloaddition between 4,4'-bis(N-arylsydnone) or C-bithienyl-diarylsydnone and 2-arylamino-naphthoquinone via irradiation with 405 or 485 nm light.

Article Synopsis
  • Increasing pollution from various compounds poses health risks, but there's a lack of information on their toxic effects, highlighting the need for better testing methods.
  • A high-throughput screening (HTS) assay was developed to evaluate how environmental pollutants, like PFOS and TPHP, bind to nuclear receptors, using a fluorescence-based microplate reader.
  • The study detailed the steps of the assay and concluded with a discussion on the method's pros and cons, along with potential future applications in toxicology.

Despite its potential as a clean power source to meet rising electricity demands, nuclear energy generates radioactive waste, including isotopes of iodine, that pose significant environmental and health risks. There is a growing demand to capture radioactive iodine and repurpose it effectively. However, achieving this dual functionality with a single material remains a significant challenge.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) affect lipid membranes in bacteria and cells, highlighting their role as significant environmental contaminants.
  • Results show that larger OPFRs, like triphenyl phosphate (TPHP), cause substantial damage to membrane integrity due to their ability to form nanoclusters, leading to severe toxicity.
  • In contrast, smaller OPFRs like triethyl phosphate (TEP) and tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP) show weaker interactions and cause minimal membrane disturbance, indicating the importance of molecular structure in determining toxicity levels.

Herein, we investigated PhFC (10-phenylferrocenyl-5,15-diphenyl corrole), a corrole-based donor-acceptor (D-A) dyad, to understand the energy/electron transfer reaction dynamics. Phenylferrocene acts as the donor moiety when attached to the position of the corrole ring in the PhFC D-A system. The photophysical properties of the PhFC dyad and its parent molecule, TPC (5,10,15-triphenyl corrole), were studied by UV-vis spectroscopy, steady state fluorescence spectroscopy, TCSPC and optical microscopy techniques.
