Thiete Dioxides as Templates Towards Twisted Scaffolds and Macrocyclic Structures.

ABSTRACT: Thiete dioxide units have been employed as a template for further functionalization through C-H activation strategies. Using simple thiete dioxide building blocks, a new library of axially chiral molecules has been synthesized that owe their stability to electrostatic interactions in the solid state. Similar starting materials were further engaged in the formation of cyclic trimeric structures, opening the pathway to unprecedented macrocyclic ring systems.

Complex assembly from planar and twisted ?-conjugated molecules towards alloy helices and core-shell structures.

Project description:Integrating together two dissimilar ?-conjugated molecules into controlled complex topological configurations remains a largely unsolved problem owing to the diversity of organic species and their respective different assembly features. Here, we find that two structurally similar organic semiconductors, 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene (BA) and 5,12-bis(phenylethynyl)naphthacene (BN), co-assemble into two-component helices by control of the growth kinetics as well as the molar ratio of BA/BN. The helical superstructures made of planar and twisted bis(phenylethynyl) derivatives can be regarded as (BA)x(BN)1-x alloys, which are formed due to compatible structural relationship between BA and BN. Moreover, epitaxial growth of (BA)x(BN)1-x alloy layer on the surface of BA tube to form BA@(BA)x(BN)1-x core-shell structure is also achieved via a solute exchange process. The precise control over composition and morphology towards organic alloy helices and core-shell microstructures opens a door for understanding the complex co-assembly features of two or more different material partners with similar structures.

Proangiogenic scaffolds as functional templates for cardiac tissue engineering.

Project description:We demonstrate here a cardiac tissue-engineering strategy addressing multicellular organization, integration into host myocardium, and directional cues to reconstruct the functional architecture of heart muscle. Microtemplating is used to shape poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid) hydrogel into a tissue-engineering scaffold with architectures driving heart tissue integration. The construct contains parallel channels to organize cardiomyocyte bundles, supported by micrometer-sized, spherical, interconnected pores that enhance angiogenesis while reducing scarring. Surface-modified scaffolds were seeded with human ES cell-derived cardiomyocytes and cultured in vitro. Cardiomyocytes survived and proliferated for 2 wk in scaffolds, reaching adult heart densities. Cardiac implantation of acellular scaffolds with pore diameters of 30-40 microm showed angiogenesis and reduced fibrotic response, coinciding with a shift in macrophage phenotype toward the M2 state. This work establishes a foundation for spatially controlled cardiac tissue engineering by providing discrete compartments for cardiomyocytes and stroma in a scaffold that enhances vascularization and integration while controlling the inflammatory response.

Macrocyclic design strategies for small, stable parallel beta-sheet scaffolds.

Project description:Pairs of short peptide strands can be induced to adopt an antiparallel beta-sheet secondary structure in aqueous solution via a macrocyclic constraint, as illustrated by many natural and designed peptides. We show that an analogous strategy is successful for creation of small units of parallel beta-sheet secondary structure in aqueous solution. Cyclization in this case requires nonpeptide segments for N-to-N and C-to-C interstrand linkage. Surprisingly, we find that only one of these segments needs to be preorganized.

Superlattice structures in twisted bilayers of folded graphene.

Project description:The electronic properties of bilayer graphene strongly depend on relative orientation of the two atomic lattices. Whereas Bernal-stacked graphene is most commonly studied, a rotational mismatch between layers opens up a whole new field of rich physics, especially at small interlayer twist. Here we report on magnetotransport measurements on twisted graphene bilayers, prepared by folding of single layers. These reveal a strong dependence on the twist angle, which can be estimated by means of sample geometry. At small rotation, superlattices with a wavelength in the order of 10 nm arise and are observed by friction atomic force microscopy. Magnetotransport measurements in this small-angle regime show the formation of satellite Landau fans. These are attributed to additional Dirac singularities in the band structure and discussed with respect to the wide range of interlayer coupling models.

Electronic Structures of Twisted Bilayer InSe/InSe and Heterobilayer Graphene/InSe.

Project description:Building vertical van der Waals heterojunctions between two-dimensional layered materials has become a promising strategy for modulating the properties of two-dimensional materials. Herein, we investigate the electronic structures of non-twisted/twisted bilayer InSe/InSe and heterobilayer graphene/InSe (Gr/InSe) by employing density functional theory calculations. For twisted bilayer InSe/InSes, their interlayer distances and band gaps are almost identical but a bit larger than those of the AB-stacking one due to the spontaneous polarization. Differently, the band gaps of twisted Gr/InSe are found to vary with the rotation angles. Our results provide an effective way to tune the electronic properties of two-dimensional materials.

Synthetic Strategy and Anti-Tumor Activities of Macrocyclic Scaffolds Based on 4-Hydroxyproline.

Project description:A series of novel 13- to 15-member hydroxyproline-based macrocycles, which contain alkyl-alkyl ether and alkyl-aryl ether moieties, have been synthesized by the strategy of macrocyclization utilising azide-alkyne cycloaddition, Mitsunobu protocol and amide formation. Their anti-tumor activities towards A549, MDA-MB-231 and Hep G2 cells were screened in vitro by an MTT assay. The results indicated that 13-member macrocycle 33 containing alkene chain showed the best results, exhibiting the highest inhibitory effects towards lung cancer cell line A549, which was higher than that of the reference cisplatin (IC50 value = 2.55 µmol/L).

Programmable nanoengineering templates for fabrication of three-dimensional nanophotonic structures.

Project description:Porous anodic alumina membranes (AAMs) have attracted great amount of attention due to their potential application as templates for nanoengineering. Template-guided fabrication and assembly of nanomaterials based on AAMs are cost-effective and scalable methods to program and engineer the shape and morphology of nanostructures and nanomaterials. In this work, perfectly ordered AAMs with the record large pitch up to 3 ?m have been fabricated by properly controlling the anodization conditions and utilization of nanoimprint technique. Due to the capability of programmable structural design and fabrication, a variety of nanostructures, including nanopillar arrays, nanotower arrays, and nanocone arrays, have been successfully fabricated using nanoengineered AAM templates. Particularly, amorphous Si nanocones have been fabricated as three-dimensional nanophotonic structures with the characterization of their intriguing optical anti-reflection property. These results directly indicate the potential application of the reported approach for photonics and optoelectronics.

Synthetic Approaches for Piperidone-Based Templates as Scaffolds to Access Chirally Enriched Donepezil Analogues.

Project description:A concise and high-yielding double aza-Michael reaction is presented as an atom-efficient method to access chiral 2-substituted 4-piperidone building blocks from divinyl ketones. The piperidones were further converted into analogues of donepezil, an acetylcholinesterase inhibiting drug used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The donepezil analogues were obtained as inseparable diastereomeric mixtures with resolved stereochemistry in position 2 of the piperidine ring. Biological evaluation of the acetylcholinesterase inhibition by these analogues provides a new insight into structure-activity relationship studies with regard to donepezil's piperidine moiety toward stereochemical enhancement.

A diversity-oriented synthesis strategy enabling the combinatorial-type variation of macrocyclic peptidomimetic scaffolds.

Project description:Macrocyclic peptidomimetics are associated with a broad range of biological activities. However, despite such potentially valuable properties, the macrocyclic peptidomimetic structural class is generally considered as being poorly explored within drug discovery. This has been attributed to the lack of general methods for producing collections of macrocyclic peptidomimetics with high levels of structural, and thus shape, diversity. In particular, there is a lack of scaffold diversity in current macrocyclic peptidomimetic libraries; indeed, the efficient construction of diverse molecular scaffolds presents a formidable general challenge to the synthetic chemist. Herein we describe a new, advanced strategy for the diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) of macrocyclic peptidomimetics that enables the combinatorial variation of molecular scaffolds (core macrocyclic ring architectures). The generality and robustness of this DOS strategy is demonstrated by the step-efficient synthesis of a structurally diverse library of over 200 macrocyclic peptidomimetic compounds, each based around a distinct molecular scaffold and isolated in milligram quantities, from readily available building-blocks. To the best of our knowledge this represents an unprecedented level of scaffold diversity in a synthetically derived library of macrocyclic peptidomimetics. Cheminformatic analysis indicated that the library compounds access regions of chemical space that are distinct from those addressed by top-selling brand-name drugs and macrocyclic natural products, illustrating the value of our DOS approach to sample regions of chemical space underexploited in current drug discovery efforts. An analysis of three-dimensional molecular shapes illustrated that the DOS library has a relatively high level of shape diversity.

X-ray vs. NMR structures as templates for computational protein design.

Project description:Certain protein-design calculations involve using an experimentally determined high-resolution structure as a template to identify new sequences that can adopt the same fold. This approach has led to the successful design of many novel, well-folded, native-like proteins. Although any atomic-resolution structure can serve as a template in such calculations, most successful designs have used high-resolution crystal structures. Because there are many proteins for which crystal structures are not available, it is of interest whether nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) templates are also appropriate. We have analyzed differences between using X-ray and NMR templates in side-chain repacking and design calculations. We assembled a database of 29 proteins for which both a high-resolution X-ray structure and an ensemble of NMR structures are available. Using these pairs, we compared the rotamericity, chi(1)-angle recovery, and native-sequence recovery of X-ray and NMR templates. We carried out design using RosettaDesign on both types of templates, and compared the energies and packing qualities of the resulting structures. Overall, the X-ray structures were better templates for use with Rosetta. However, for approximately 20% of proteins, a member of the reported NMR ensemble gave rise to designs with similar properties. Re-evaluating RosettaDesign structures with other energy functions indicated much smaller differences between the two types of templates. Ultimately, experiments are required to confirm the utility of particular X-ray and NMR templates. But our data suggest that the lack of a high-resolution X-ray structure should not preclude attempts at computational design if an NMR ensemble is available.
