Reagent Controlled Glycosylations for the Assembly of Well-Defined Pel Oligosaccharides.

ABSTRACT: A new additive, methyl(phenyl)formamide (MPF), is introduced for the glycosylation of 2-azido-2-deoxyglucose building blocks. A linear ?-(1,4)-glucosamine tetrasaccharide was assembled to prove the utility of MPF. Next, a hexasaccharide fragment of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa exopolysaccharide Pel was assembled using a [2 + 2 + 2] strategy modulated by MPF. The used [galactosazide-?-(1,4)-glucosazide] disaccharide building blocks were synthesized using a 4,6-O-DTBS protected galactosyl azide donor.

Reagent Controlled Stereoselective Assembly of α-(1,3)-Glucans.

Project description:Pre-activation based glycosylations have become a very powerful tool in the assembly of oligosaccharides and the use of nucleophilic additives allows for the in situ generation of reactive intermediates with tailored reactivity. We here use a glycosylation strategy that is based on the use of per-benzylated imidate building blocks for the fully stereoselective construction of a spacer equipped Aspergillus fumigatus α-1,3-octaglucan. We have used the trimethylsilyl iodide (TMSI)-triphenylphosphine oxide (Ph3P=O) for the stereoselective installation of an azidopropanol spacer and triflic acid (TfOH)-dimethyl formamide (DMF) enabled glycosylations for the coupling reactions with the secondary glucosyl C-3-alcohols. An operationally simple in situ activation coupling procedure is introduced and used for the final glycosylation events towards the octasaccharide.

Field-induced assembly of colloidal ellipsoids into well-defined microtubules.

Project description:Current theoretical attempts to understand the reversible formation of stable microtubules and virus shells are generally based on shape-specific building blocks or monomers, where the local curvature of the resulting structure is explicitly built-in via the monomer geometry. Here we demonstrate that even simple ellipsoidal colloids can reversibly self-assemble into regular tubular structures when subjected to an alternating electric field. Supported by model calculations, we discuss the combined effects of anisotropic shape and field-induced dipolar interactions on the reversible formation of self-assembled structures. Our observations show that the formation of tubular structures through self-assembly requires much less geometrical and interaction specificity than previously thought, and advance our current understanding of the minimal requirements for self-assembly into regular virus-like structures.

Chiral exciton coupling of merocyanine dyes within a well defined hydrogen-bonded assembly.

Project description:Multichromophoric hydrogen-bonded assemblies 1(3) small middle dot(BAR)(6) are studied that bear a remarkably close resemblance to commelinin, a naturally occurring assembly responsible for an intense blue color of flowers. The incorporated chromophores exhibit a hypsochromic shift in the UV/visible (Vis) absorption maximum (Delta lambda(max) = 14 nm) compared with the free chromophores. In addition, the chiroptical properties of incorporated chromophores can be rationally controlled by changing the supramolecular chirality of the assembly. These properties have been used to study the stability of this type of assembly with UV and CD spectroscopy at concentrations far below the NMR sensitivity threshold (10(-4) M). The determined C(50%) values of 2-3 microM in benzene show the extremely high stability of these hydrogen-bonded assemblies.

Hierarchical Self-Assembly of a Water-Soluble Organoplatinum(II) Metallacycle into Well-Defined Nanostructures.

Project description:A water-soluble metallosupramolecular hexagon containing pendant methyl viologen (MV) and trimethylammonium units at the vertices has been synthesized via an organoplatinum(II) ? pyridyl coordination-driven self-assembly reaction. The MV units of the metallacycle were further utilized in the formation of a heteroternary complex with cucurbit[8]uril and a galactose-functionalized naphthalene derivative, yielding a metallacycle-cored carbohydrate cluster that was subsequently ordered into nanospheres and tapes, depending upon the concentration.

Redox-ligand sustains controlled generation of CF3 radicals by well-defined copper complex.

Project description:A well-defined copper complex bearing iminosemiquinone ligands performs single electron reduction of an electrophilic CF3+ source into CF˙3 radicals. This redox behavior is enabled by the ligand which shuttles through two different redox states (iminosemiquinone and iminobenzoquinone) while the copper center is preserved as a Cu(ii). This system was used in the trifluoromethylation of silyl enol ethers, heteroaromatics and in the hydrotrifluoromethylation of alkynes. This is the first example of cooperative redox catalysis for the controlled generation of CF˙3 radicals.

Peptide-Induced Self-Assembly of Therapeutics into a Well-Defined Nanoshell with Tumor-Triggered Shape and Charge Switch.

Project description:Peptide-tuned self-assembly of macromolecular agents (>500 Da) such as therapeutic peptides offers a strategy to improve the properties and biofunctions of degradable nanomaterials, but the tough requirement of macromolecular therapeutics delivery and a lack of understanding of peptide-based self-assembly design present high barriers for their applications. Herein, we developed a new strategy for nanoengineering macromolecular drugs by an elaborate peptide, termed PSP (VVVVVHHRGDC), capable of directly conjugating with cargo to be a PSP-cargo monomer as building block tending to self-assemble into a well-defined nanoshell with tumor-triggered shape and charge switch. As a proof of concept, conjugation PSP to a D-peptide activator of tumor suppressor p53 termed DPMI (1492.5 Da) generated hollow spheres ~80 nm in diameter named PSP-DPMI that disintegrated only in the acidic microenvironment of tumor tissues, followed by integrin-mediated cellular uptake of PSP-DPMI monomers. Importantly, PSP-based self-assembly successfully endowed the DPMI with long circulation time and high cancer-cell-specific intracellular accumulation. PSP-DPMI nanoshells potently inhibited tumor growth in vitro and in vivo by the p53 restoration, while maintaining a highly favorable in vivo safety profile. Out of conventional encapsulation and conjugation, our study showcases a clinically viable novel method to nanoengineer macromolecular agents such as peptide for anticancer therapy and provides a hazard-free alternative strategy for the theranostics delivery.

Chemically defined diet alters the protective properties of fructo-oligosaccharides and isomalto-oligosaccharides in HLA-B27 transgenic rats.

Project description:Non-digestible oligosaccharides (NDO) were shown to reduce inflammation in experimental colitis, but it remains unclear whether microbiota changes mediate their colitis-modulating effects. This study assessed intestinal microbiota and intestinal inflammation after feeding chemically defined AIN-76A or rat chow diets, with or without supplementation with 8 g/kg body weight of fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) or isomalto-oligosaccharides (IMO). The study used HLA-B27 transgenic rats, a validated model of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), in a factorial design with 6 treatment groups. Intestinal inflammation and intestinal microbiota were analysed after 12 weeks of treatment. FOS and IMO reduced colitis in animals fed rat chow, but exhibited no anti-inflammatory effect when added to AIN-76A diets. Both NDO induced specific but divergent microbiota changes. Bifidobacteria and Enterobacteriaceae were stimulated by FOS, whereas copy numbers of Clostridium cluster IV were decreased. In addition, higher concentrations of total short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) were observed in cecal contents of rats on rat chow compared to the chemically defined diet. AIN-76A increased the relative proportions of propionate, iso-butyrate, valerate and iso-valerate irrespective of the oligosaccharide treatment. The SCFA composition, particularly the relative concentration of iso-butyrate, valerate and iso-valerate, was associated (P ≤ 0.004 and r ≥ 0.4) with increased colitis and IL-1 β concentration of the cecal mucosa. This study demonstrated that the protective effects of fibres on colitis development depend on the diet. Although diets modified specific cecal microbiota, our study indicates that these changes were not associated with colitis reduction. Intestinal inflammation was positively correlated to protein fermentation and negatively correlated with carbohydrate fermentation in the large intestine.

A well-defined, versatile photoinitiator (salen)Co-CO2CH3 for visible light-initiated living/controlled radical polymerization.

Project description:The control of the polymerization of a wide range of monomers under mild conditions by a single catalyst remains a major challenge in polymer science. We report a versatile, well-defined organocobalt salen complex to control living radical polymerization of different categories of monomers, including acrylates, acrylamides and vinyl acetate, under visible light irradiation at ambient temperature. Both household light and sunlight were effectively applied in the synthesis of polymers with controlled molecular weights and narrow polydispersities. Narrowly dispersed block copolymers (Mw/Mn < 1.2) were obtained under various conditions. The structures of the polymers were analyzed by 1H NMR, 2D NMR, 13C NMR, GPC, MALDI-TOF-MS and isotopic labeling experiments, which showed that the ? and ? ends of the polymer chains were capped with (salen)Co and -CO2CH3 segments, respectively, from the photoinitiator (salen)Co-CO2CH3. The ? end was easily functionalized through oxygen insertion followed by hydrolysis from 18O2 to -18OH. This robust system can proceed without any additives, and offers a versatile and green way to produce well-defined homo and block copolymers.

Hierarchical Self-assembly of Well-Defined Louver-Like P-Doped Carbon Nitride Nanowire Arrays with Highly Efficient Hydrogen Evolution.

Project description:Self-assembled nanostructure arrays integrating the advantages of the intrinsic characters of nanostructure as well as the array stability are appealing in advanced materials. However, the precise bottom-up synthesis of nanostructure arrays without templates or substrates is quite challenging because of the general occurrence of homogeneous nucleation and the difficult manipulation of noncovalent interactions. Herein, we first report the precisely manipulated synthesis of well-defined louver-like P-doped carbon nitride nanowire arrays (L-PCN) via a supramolecular self-assembly method by regulating the noncovalent interactions through hydrogen bond. With this strategy, CN nanowires align in the outer frame with the separation and spatial location achieving ultrastability and outstanding photoelectricity properties. Significantly, this self-assembly L-PCN exhibits a superior visible light-driven hydrogen evolution activity of 1872.9 μmol h-1 g-1, rendering a ~ 25.6-fold enhancement compared to bulk CN, and high photostability. Moreover, an apparent quantum efficiency of 6.93% is achieved for hydrogen evolution at 420 ± 15 nm. The experimental results and first-principles calculations demonstrate that the remarkable enhancement of photocatalytic activity of L-PCN can be attributed to the synergetic effect of structural topology and dopant. These findings suggest that we are able to design particular hierarchical nanostructures with desirable performance using hydrogen-bond engineering.
