Ceramide is a bioactive lipid that plays an important role in stress responses leading to apoptosis, cell growth arrest and differentiation. Ceramide production is due in part to sphingomyelin hydrolysis by sphingomyelinases. In brain, neutral sphingomyelinase 2 (nSMase2) is expressed in neurons and increases in its activity and expression have been associated with pro-inflammatory conditions observed in Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) patients. Increased nSMase2 activity translates into higher ceramide levels and neuronal cell death, which can be prevented by chem. or genetic inhibition of nSMase2 activity or expression. However, to date, there are no soluble, specific and potent small mol. inhibitor tool compounds for in vivo studies or as a starting point for medicinal chem. optimization. Moreover, the majority of the known inhibitors were identified using bacterial, bovine or rat nSMase2. In an attempt to identify new inhibitor scaffolds, two activity assays were optimized as screening platform using the recombinant human enzyme. First, active hits were identified using a fluorescence-based high throughput compatible assay. Then, hits were confirmed using a 14C sphingomyelin-based direct activity assay. Pharmacol. active compounds and approved drugs were screened using this strategy which led to the identification of cambinol as a novel uncompetitive nSMase2 inhibitor (Ki = 7 μM). The inhibitory activity of cambinol for nSMase2 was approx. 10-fold more potent than for its previously known target, silence information regulator 1 and 2 (SIRT1/2). Cambinol decreased tumor necrosis factor-α or interleukin-1 β-induced increases of ceramide and cell death in primary neurons. A preliminary study of cambinol structure and activity allowed the identification of the main structural features required for nSMase2 inhibition. Cambinol and its analogs may be useful as nSMase2 inhibitor tool compounds to prevent ceramide-dependent neurodegeneration.

To develop next generation antifolates for the treatment of trimethoprim-resistant bacteria, synthetic methods were needed to prepare a diverse array of 3-aryl-propynes with various substitutions at the propargyl position. A direct route was sought whereby nucleophilic addition of acetylene to aryl carboxaldehydes would be followed by reduction or substitution of the resulting propargyl alc. The direct reduction, methylation, and dimethylation of these readily available alcs. provide efficient access to this uncommon functional array. In addition, an unusual silane exchange reaction was observed in the reduction of the propargylic alcs.

The creation of carbon-carbon bonds is still a highly required topic in organic chem. for the capacity to give a wide variety of new products of industrial value. Accordingly, the Knoevenagel condensation between activated methylene compounds and aldehydes is one of the most known carbon coupling reactions. In this work, the catalytic activity of imidazolium-based ionic liquids (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, 1-methyl-3-carboxymethylimidazolium chloride) was studied under solvent-free conditions and compared with that of sodium salts (sodium chloride, sodium acetate). Mass spectrometric techniques were used to monitor the formation of the reaction products and to detect the key intermediates of the process. Based on the catalyst employed different reaction mechanisms were highlighted, thus laying the foundation for the design of more specific and efficient catalysts.

A review. Genomes are constantly in flux, undergoing changes due to recombination, repair and mutagenesis. In vivo, many of such changes are studies using reporters for specific types of changes, or through cytol. studies that detect changes at the single-cell level. Single mol. assays, which are reviewed here, can detect transient intermediates and dynamics of events. Biochem. assays allow detailed investigation of the DNA and protein activities of each step in a repair, recombination or mutagenesis event. Each type of assay is a powerful tool but each comes with its particular advantages and limitations. Here the most commonly used assays are reviewed, discussed, and presented as the guidelines for future studies.

Elsheikh, A. A.; Braun, L. J.; Mansour, S. M. G.; Orabi, A.; Alqahtani, A. S.; Benfield, D. A.; Chase, C. C. L. published the artcile< The effect of human interferon alpha on replication of different bovine viral diarrhea virus strains>, Formula: C5H5N5, the main research area is interferon alpha bovine viral diarrhea virus replication.

In the present study, we evaluated the comparative effect of exogenous human IFN-α (HuIFN-α) on different BVDV biotypes and genotypes. The results showed that exogenous HuIFN-α greatly inhibited the growth of different BVDV biotypes and genotypes. However, HuINF-α has a significant inhibitory effect on cp biotype compared to ncp one without significant variation between different genotypes. The effect of HuIFN-α on BVDV reached the maximum level at early stages of infection (0-20 h post infection) and increased in a dose-dependent manner (10-500 U/mL). Quant. realtime RT-PCR was used to evaluate the effect of exogenous HuIFN-α on RNA synthesis of both BVDV biotypes. HuIFN-α reduced RNA production of cp by 4 logs compared to only 2 logs for ncp strains. Addnl., the antiviral effect of IFN-α against both BVDV biotypes seems to be independent of the RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) activation as assayed by direct anal. of in vivo phosphorylation of eIF2-α and by 2-aminopurine (2-AP) treatment. Collectively, these results indicated that the exogenous HuIFN-α treatment has an inhibitory effect not only on cp BVDV biotype but also on the ncp BVDV. The antiviral effect of exogenous HuIFN-α was biotype, time, dose but not genotype dependent. PKR has no role in the inhibitory effect suggesting that other IFN-antiviral pathways were involved.

Phenylene ethynylene based diimidazolium salts differing in the alkyl chain length borne on the imidazolium ion and anion nature were synthesized. Their properties were studied both in solution and in the solid state. Salts obtained were able to aggregate in organic solvent solution Aggregate formation was studied by performing concentration dependent measurements using UV-vis, fluorescence and Resonance Light Scattering. Furthermore, features of the aggregates were also investigated in the solid state by means of fluorescence and SEM measurements. Finally, D. Functional Theory calculations were performed to obtain insights into the interaction geometry in the salts investigated. Data collected evidence that aggregation processes are affected by a combined action of different factors derived from the nature of the salt and solvent. The above features also influence the morphol. of the aggregates as well as the ability of their thin films to give blue emission. On the whole, information gained could represent a useful starting point for applications of these salts in the optoelectronic field among others.

Lu, Chang; Jimmy Huang, Po-Jung; Zheng, Jingkai; Liu, Juewen published the artcile< A 2-Aminopurine Fluorescence Spectroscopy for Probing a Glucose Binding Aptamer>, Product Details of C5H5N5, the main research area is aminopurine fluorescence spectroscopy glucose aptamer; aptamers; biosensors; diabetes; fluorescence; glucose.

Glucose is the most important analyte for biosensors. Recently a DNA aptamer was reported allowing binding-based detection. However, due to a relatively weak binding affinity, it is difficult to perform binding assays to understand the property of this aptamer. In this work, we replaced the only adenine base in the aptamer binding pocket with a 2-aminopurine (2AP) and used fluorescence spectroscopy to study glucose binding. In the selection buffer, glucose increased the 2AP fluorescence with a Kd of 15.0 mM glucose, which was comparable with the 10 mM Kd previously reported using the strand displacement assay. The binding required two Na+ ions or one Mg2+ that cannot be replaced by Li+ or K+. The binding was weaker at higher temperature and its vant Hoff plot indicated enthalpy-driven binding. While other monosaccharides failed to achieve saturated binding even at high concentrations, two glucose-containing disaccharides, namely trehalose and sucrose, reached a similar fluorescence level as glucose although with over 10-fold higher Kd values. Detection limits in both the selection buffer (0.9 mM) and in artificial interstitial fluids (6.0 mM) were measured.
