Cyclopentadienyl anions ([Cp]) are pervasive ligands in coordination chemistry. In contrast, heavy-element derivatives of these ligands, particularly those that feature arsenic, are not as well developed. In this work, a new arsenic-based heterocycle with a structure analogous to [Cp] is presented. Reaction of KAs with benzyl azide (BnN) leads to fragmentation of the [As] core and C-H activation of two [BnN] units to give the five-membered arsenic heterocycle [As(NC(Ph))]. This arsenic heterocycle was studied by nuclear magnetic resonance and UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and its electronic structure was investigated computationally.

Article Synopsis
  • - Variant acute promyelocytic leukemia (vAPL) is a specific type of APL that involves atypical fusion proteins, which are difficult to identify using standard methods like PCR and FISH, necessitating newer techniques like next-gen sequencing.
  • - Patients with vAPL often show resistance to traditional treatments like arsenic trioxide and all trans-retinoic acid, leading to ambiguous prognoses, but venetoclax (VEN) has demonstrated effectiveness when combined with ATRA.
  • - This research presents the first recorded case of vAPL with a TFG-RARA fusion gene successfully treated with VEN and ATRA, achieving complete remission, suggesting that VEN could improve outcomes for vAPL patients.

One of the main modern approaches to the creation of effective drugs is the design of new biologically active substances containing two or more pharmacophore groups in their structure. In recent years, there have been many publications on the synthesis and study of biological activity, including antitumour activity, of new organo-arsenic compounds. It is known that spatially hindered phenols can also have antitumor activity, so the synthesis and study of hybrid compounds based on organo-arsenic compounds and spatially hindered phenols is a relevant area of research.

Article Synopsis
  • Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) are types of leukemia that present unique challenges due to drug resistance and the presence of leukemia stem cells (LSC), necessitating the search for new therapies.
  • Four novel imidazole derivatives were tested, revealing that they effectively inhibited the proliferation of APL (NB4) and CML (K562) cell lines by inducing apoptosis and downregulating key signaling pathways.
  • The study suggested that combining the imidazole derivatives with standard treatments like ATRA and Imatinib could enhance the anti-leukemic effects by further targeting Wnt/beta-catenin pathway genes.

Introduction: Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is mainly due to the chromosome translocation (15; 17) (q22; q12), leading to the formation of PML-RARα fusion protein. However, some patients carried rare translocation involving RARα gene, and they were referred to as variant APL caused by the RAR family (RARα, RARB, and RARG) and partner genes. PLZF-RARα was a rare type of molecular genetic abnormality with unfavorable prognosis that has been reported in few cases in variant APL.
