AI Article Synopsis

  • The study describes the synthesis of 12 N6-(n-alkylureido)purine ribonucleosides with various alkyl chain lengths (1-10, 16, and 18 carbons) and three corresponding 5'-phosphates (4, 9, and 10 carbons).
  • The ribonucleosides were made by reacting a specific ribonucleoside compound with n-alkylamine in heated pyridine, while the 5'-nucleotides were synthesized through phosphorylation techniques.
  • Some of the synthesized compounds, particularly those with octyl, nonyl, and decyl chains, exhibited significant antiproliferative effects against L-1210 cancer cells in lab cultures

Article Abstract

Syntheses and biological activities of 12 N6-(n-alkylureido)purine ribonucleosides (alkyl chain length of 1--10, 16, and 18 carbons) and three N6-(n-alkylureido)purine ribonucleoside 5'-phosphates (chain length of 4, 9, and 10 carbons) are described. The N6-(n-alkylureido)purine ribonucleosides were prepared by a reaction of (2',3',5'-tri-O-acetyl-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)-9H-purine-6-carbamate and n-alkylamine in refluxing pyridine. The 5'-nucleotides were prepared by direct phosphorylation of the corresponding ribonucleoside with phosphorus oxychloride and triethyl phosphate. Some N6-(n-alkylureido)purine ribonucleosides (n-octyl, n-nonyl, and n-decyl) and their nucleotides showed a marked antiproliferative activity against L-1210 cells in culture.

N7-methylguanosine modification in cancers: from mechanisms to therapeutic potential.

J Hematol Oncol

N7-methylguanosine (m7G) is an important RNA modification involved in epigenetic regulation that is commonly observed in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Their influence on the synthesis and processing of messenger RNA, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA allows m7G modifications to affect diverse cellular, physiological, and pathological processes. m7G modifications are pivotal in human diseases, particularly cancer progression.

We have devised a copper-catalysed tandem annulation reaction to generate a new class of bicyclic nucleoside analogues (BCNAs), namely, amino-substituted thiazolopyrimidine ribonucleosides. The reaction between triacetyl-5-iodo-cytidine and an appropriate organic isothiocyanate in the presence of a Cu salt and ligand resulted in the formation of an amino-substituted thiazolopyrimidine moiety. This reaction was found to be compatible with a range of aliphatic and aromatic isothiocyanates, affording the corresponding products in moderate to good yields.

Selection of initiator tRNA and start codon by mammalian mitochondrial initiation factor 3 in leaderless mRNA translation.

Nucleic Acids Res

January 2025

Department of Computational Biology and Medical Sciences, Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, The University of Tokyo, 5-1-5, Kashiwanoha, Kashiwa-shi, Chiba 277-8562, Japan.

Article Synopsis
  • The mammalian mitochondrial protein synthesis system is responsible for synthesizing 13 crucial subunits for energy production, but the exact role of IF-3mt in translation initiation is still unclear.
  • Researchers created a mitochondrial translation system to explore IF-3mt's proofreading abilities, revealing it helps distinguish between different start codons for more accurate protein synthesis.
  • The findings indicate that IF-3mt not only supports initiation from standard AUG start codons but can also facilitate initiation from non-AUG codons like AUA, highlighting its adaptability in working with leaderless mRNAs.

Son yıllarda pandemi nedeniyle virüslerin tanı ve tedavisine yönelik terapötik yöntemlerin geliştirilmesi ve antivirallerin test edilmesi amacıyla çok sayıda in vitro çalışma yapılmaktadır. Literatürde SARS-CoV-2'nin modellenebilmesi için HCoV-229E'nin kullanımının güvenli ve yeterli olup olmadığını inceleyen çalışmalar sınırlıdır. Bu sebeple bu çalışmada, BSL-2 şartlarında gerçekleştirilebilen HCoV-229E kültürü ve kantitasyon çalışmalarının, BSL-3 şartları gerektiren SARS-CoV-2 deneylerinde bir ön çalışma modeli olup olamayacağının antiviral etkinlik analizleri üzerinden araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.

B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) with the fusion gene has a poor prognosis, and the mortality rate exceeds 90%, particularly in cases of extramedullary relapse (EMR). Herein, we present a case of a 46-year-old male patient who developed relapsed B-ALL with . The patient initially achieved a complete remission (CR) after induction therapy and underwent haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
