Article Abstract
It is presented that the newly synthesized mono- and disubstituted 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiodiazole derivatives exert immunotropic activity. This effect was evaluated by measuring plaque forming cell number, circulating immunoglobulins level, autologous rosette number, mitogenic activity and by performing popliteal lymph node assay. It is shown that intensity of immunotropic activity depends on chemical structure: mono-substituted derivatives had a strong suppressive effect, disubstituted compounds showed the variable activity. One compound of this group exerted a stimulatory effect. The tested compounds were active in popliteal lymph node assay and had no mitogenic activity.

Synthesis of Primary and Secondary Amines via Electrochemical Reduction of Hydrazines.

We herein introduce an electrochemical route for the N-N bond cleavage of hydrazines. This mild and green methodology utilized readily available mono- and 1,1-disubstituted hydrazines or their HCl salts as starting materials to access a broad scope of primary and secondary amines in high yields. The mechanistic investigation suggests that the amine product is formed by consecutive SET reduction, and utilization of a hydrazine HCl salt is important for providing sufficient conductivity and acidity to facilitate this reaction.

Inhibitors of tubulin polymerization represent a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of solid tumors. Molecules that bind to the colchicine site are of interest as they can function with a dual mechanism of action as both potent antiproliferative agents and tumor-selective vascular disrupting agents (VDAs). One such example is a 2-aryl-3-aroyl-indole molecule (OXi8006) from our laboratory that demonstrates potent inhibition of tubulin polymerization and strong antiproliferative activity (cytotoxicity) against a variety of human cancer cell lines.

NHC boryl radical mediated halogen atom transfer (XAT) is useful in organic synthesis. Yet, most of the reaction ends only with reducing the halogen to hydrogen, that is, the C-X to C-H. This is especially dominant for electron-deficient alkyl halides, where the formed electrophilic radical reacts rapidly with NHC boranes.

Article Synopsis
- Free or conjugated aromatic/phenolic acids originate from various sources, including diet, metabolism of certain neurotransmitters, pharmaceuticals, and gut microbiota processing of dietary compounds.
- Research has compiled data on 112 aromatic/phenolic acids in human biological samples and found that around 30% of studies show bioactivity at low concentrations (≤1 μmol/L), particularly benefiting vascular tissues.
- Some important metabolites, like phenyl-lactic and phenyl-propanoic acids, have been largely overlooked, indicating a need for further research to explore their potential health benefits and biological activities.
Emergence of a distinct mechanism of C-N bond formation in photoenzymes.
Nature

Department of Chemistry, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, USA.
Article Synopsis
- C-N bond formation is vital for creating nitrogen-containing compounds in pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals, with alkene hydroamination being a key method, but it has challenges in achieving stereoselectivity for complex structures.
- The researchers developed a novel photoenzymatic process using a mutated Baeyer-Villiger mono-oxygenase to efficiently produce 2,2-disubstituted pyrrolidines with high yield and stereoselectivity.
- This study highlights an innovative mechanism for C-N bond formation that leverages the enzyme’s environment, combining molecular dynamics simulations and protein engineering to tackle complex synthesis challenges in a way that traditional chemical methods cannot.
