10,10-Dimethyl-anthrone.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C(16)H(14)O, the asymmetric unit consists of three crystallographically independent mol-ecules. The anthracene units are essentially planar, with maximum deviations of 0.165 (1), 0.153 (1) and 0.045 (1) Å in the three mol-ecules. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked via inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Further stabilization is provided by C-H⋯π inter-actions.

Project description:The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(21)H(27)NO, contains two mol-ecules (A and B). In mol-ecule A, the central ring of the anthrone unit adopts a shallow boat conformation and the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 18.96?(7)°. In mol-ecule B, the central ring is close to being planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.078?Å) and the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 7.82?(7)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by O-H?N hydrogen bonds, forming zigzag C(7) chains of alternating A and B mol-ecules running parallel to [100]. The structure also features weak C-H?O and C-H?? inter-actions.

Effect of Substitution of Hydrogen Atoms in the Molecules of Anthrone and Anthraquinone.

Project description:The geometry of anthrone and anthraquinone-natural substances of plant origin-was investigated under the substitution of hydrogen atoms in side aromatic ring and, for anthrone, also in the central ring. A significant influence of substitution on geometry expressed by the angle between the side rings was shown. The geometry changes are connected with the changes of electron density and aromaticity of the anthrone and anthraquinone rings. The flexibility of the investigated compounds was confirmed by comparison of the optimized molecules and the molecules in the crystal state where the packing forces can influence the molecular geometry.

Synthesis and screening of 3-substituted thioxanthen-9-one-10,10-dioxides.

Project description:This manuscript describes methods appropriate for the parallel synthesis of libraries based on the tricyclic thioxanthen-9-one-10,10-dioxide scaffold. The novel compounds were synthesized from previously reported 3-chlorothioxanthen-9-one-10,10-dioxide and commercially available 3-carboxylic acid thioxanthen-9-one-10,10-dioxide. The library members were screened for activity in a fluorescence polarization assay for inhibitors of BRCT domains of breast cancer gene 1 and in cell-based secreted alkaline phosphatase reported replicon system for activity against hepatitis C virus.

Polymorphism and pseudosymmetry of 10,10'-oxybis(9-thia-10-hydro-10-boraanthracene).

Project description:We have encountered two polymorphs of the title compound, C24H16B2OS2, both of which display almost the same unit-cell parameters. Compound (I) crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric space group P21 with four mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. These mol-ecules are related by pseudosymmetry. As a result, the space group looks like P21/c, but the structure cannot be refined successfully in that space group. Compound (II) on the other hand crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group P21/c with only two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The crystals studied for (I) and (II) were both non-merohedral twins.

Redermination of 9,9'-bianthracene-10,10'(9H,9'H)-dione.

Project description:The crystal structure of the title compound, C(28)H(18)O(2), was originally determined by Ehrenberg [(1967 ?). Acta Cryst. 22, 482-487] using intensity data obtained from Weissenberg photographs. The current determination provides a crystal and mol-ecular structure with a significantly higher precision and presents standard uncertainties on geometric parameters which are not available from the original work. The mol-ecule lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis which bis-ects the C-C bond [1.603?(3)?Å] which joins the two anthracen-9(10H)-one units.

The African natural product knipholone anthrone and its analogue anthralin (dithranol) enhance HIV-1 latency reversal.

Project description:A sterilizing or functional cure for HIV is currently precluded by resting CD4+ T cells that harbor latent but replication-competent provirus. The "shock-and-kill" pharmacological ap-proach aims to reactivate provirus expression in the presence of antiretroviral therapy and target virus-expressing cells for elimination. However, no latency reversal agent (LRA) to date effectively clears viral reservoirs in humans, suggesting a need for new LRAs and LRA combinations. Here, we screened 216 compounds from the pan-African Natural Product Library and identified knipholone anthrone (KA) and its basic building block anthralin (dithranol) as novel LRAs that reverse viral latency at low micromolar concentrations in multiple cell lines. Neither agent's activity depends on protein kinase C; nor do they inhibit class I/II histone deacetylases. However, they are differentially modulated by oxidative stress and metal ions and induce distinct patterns of global gene expression from established LRAs. When applied in combination, both KA and anthralin synergize with LRAs representing multiple functional classes. Finally, KA induces both HIV RNA and protein in primary cells from HIV-infected donors. Taken together, we describe two novel LRAs that enhance the activities of multiple "shock-and-kill" agents, which in turn may inform ongoing LRA combination therapy efforts.

Expression, purification, and characterization of AknX anthrone oxygenase, which is involved in aklavinone biosynthesis in Streptomyces galilaeus.

Project description:In streptomycete anthracycline biosynthetic gene clusters, small open reading frames are located just upstream of minimal polyketide synthase genes. aknX is such a gene found in the aklavinone-aclacinomycin biosynthetic gene cluster of Streptomyces galilaeus. In order to identify its function, the aknX gene was expressed in Escherichia coli. The cell extract prepared from E. coli cells overexpressing AknX protein exhibited anthrone oxygenase activity, which converted emodinanthrone to anthraquinone emodin. This indicates that AknX and related gene products such as DnrG and SnoaB are involved in the formation of aklanonic acid from its anthrone precursor, as suggested by their homology with TcmH and ActVA6. The AknX protein fused with a His(6) tag was efficiently purified to homogeneity by Ni(2+) affinity and anion-exchange column chromatography. The native molecular mass of AknX was estimated to be 42 kDa by gel filtration. Thus, native AknX is considered to have a homotrimeric subunit structure. AknX, like TcmH and ActVA6, possesses no apparent prosthetic group for oxygen activation. Site-directed mutagenesis was carried out to identify the key amino acid residue(s) involved in the oxygenation reaction. Of seven AknX mutants expressed, the W67F mutant showed significantly reduced oxygenase activity, suggesting the important role of the W67 residue in the AknX reaction. A possible mechanism for the reaction via peroxy anion intermediate is proposed.

Electrochemical, spectroscopic, and (1)O2 sensitization characteristics of 10,10-dimethylbiladiene complexes of zinc and copper.

Project description:The synthesis, electrochemistry, and photophysical characterization of a 10,10-dimethylbiladiene tetrapyrrole bearing ancillary pentafluorophenyl groups at the 5- and 15-meso positions (DMBil1) is presented. This nonmacrocyclic tetrapyrrole platform is robust and can serve as an excellent ligand scaffold for Zn(2+) and Cu(2+) centers. X-ray diffraction studies conducted for DMBil1 along with the corresponding Zn[DMBil1] and Cu[DMBil1] complexes show that this ligand scaffold binds a single metal ion within the tetrapyrrole core. Additionally, electrochemical experiments revealed that all three of the aforementioned compounds display an interesting redox chemistry as the DMBil1 framework can be both oxidized and reduced by two electrons. Spectroscopic and photophysical experiments carried out for DMBil1, Zn[DMBil1], and Cu[DMBil1] provide a basic picture of the electronic properties of these platforms. All three biladiene derivatives strongly absorb light in the visible region and are weakly emissive. The ability of these compounds to sensitize the formation of (1)O2 at wavelengths longer than 500 nm was probed. Both the free base and Zn(2+) 10,10-dimethylbiladiene architectures show modest efficiencies for (1)O2 sensitization. The combination of structural, electrochemical, and photophysical data detailed herein provides a basis for the design of additional biladiene constructs for the activation of O2 and other small molecules.
