Two new di(2,2′-bipyridine) ligands, 2,6-bis([2,2′-bipyridin]-5-ylethynyl)pyridine (L1) and bis(4-([2,2′-bipyridin]-5-ylethynyl)phenyl)methane (L2) were synthesized and used to generate two metallosupramolecular [Fe2(L)3](BF4)4 cylinders. The ligands and cylinders were characterized using elemental analysis, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, UV-vis, 1H-, 13C and DOSY nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopies. The molecular structures of the [Fe2(L)3](BF4)4 cylinders were confirmed using X-ray crystallography. Both the [Fe2(L1)3](BF4)4 and [Fe2(L2)3](BF4)4 complexes crystallized as racemic (rac) mixtures of the ΔΔ (P) and ΛΛ (M) helicates. However, 1H NMR spectra showed that in solution the larger [Fe2(L2)3](BF4)4 was a mixture of the rac-ΔΔ/ΛΛ and meso-ΔΛ isomers. The host-guest chemistry of the helicates, which both feature a central cavity, was examined with several small drug molecules. However, none of the potential guests were found to bind within the helicates. In vitro cytotoxicity assays demonstrated that both helicates were active against four cancer cell lines. The smaller [Fe2(L1)3](BF4)4 system displayed low μM activity against the HCT116 (IC50 = 7.1 ± 0.5 μM) and NCI-H460 (IC50 = 4.9 ± 0.4 μM) cancer cells. While the antiproliferative effects against all the cell lines examined were less than the well-known anticancer drug cisplatin, their modes of action would be expected to be very different.

Two new steroidal alkaloids, named hookerianine A (1) and hookerianine B (2) were isolated from the stems and roots of Sarcococca hookeriana Baill., along with two known compounds, sarcorucinine G (3) and epipachysamine D (4). On the basis of spectroscopic methods and by comparison with literature data, their structures were determined. As well as X-ray crystallography was performed to confirm compound 4. To identify novel antitumor inhibitors, all compounds were performed a CCK-8 assay against five human cancer cell lines SW480, SMMC-7721, PC3, MCF-7 and K562 in vitro. Compound 2 exhibited moderate cytotoxic activities to all cell lines with IC50 values in the range of 5.97–19.44 μM. Compound 3 was the most effective one against SW480 and K562 cell lines with IC50 values of 5.77 and 6.29 μM, respectively.

The reaction of AlMe3 with three equivalents of HOSiPh3 in THF results in the formation of the solvent complex Al(OSiPh3)3(THF) (1). Hydrolysis of 1 yields the stable water complex Al(OSiPh3)3(H2O)(THF)2 (2) in which the THF molecules are hydrogen bonded to the coordinated water ligand. Compounds 1 and 2 have been fully characterized by 1H, 13C, 17O, 27Al, and 29Si NMR and IR spectroscopy. In addition, variable temperature 1H NMR of 2 has been employed to investigate the steric interactions between the phenyl rings of adjacent siloxide ligands.

A series of barbiturates derivatives synthesized and screened for different set of bioassays are described. The molecular structures of compounds5a,5d,and5fwere solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The results of bioassay show that compounds4a,4b,4c,4d,4e,4f, and4gare potent antioxidants in comparison to the tested standards, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), andN-acetylcysteine. Compounds4a–4e(IC50=101.8±0.8–124.4±4.4 μM) and4g(IC50=104.1±1.9 μM) were more potent antioxidants than the standard (BHT,IC50=128.8±2.1 μM). The enzyme inhibition potential of these compounds was also evaluated,in vitro, against thymidine phosphorylase,α-glucosidase, andβ-glucuronidase enzymes. Compounds4c,4h,4o,4p,4q, 5f,and5mwere found to be potentα-glucosidase inhibitors and showed more activity than the standard drug acarbose, whereas compounds4v,and5hwere found to be potent thymidine phosphorylase inhibitors, more active than the standard drug, 7-deazaxanthine. All barbiturates derivatives (4a–4x,4z,and5a–5m) were found to be noncytotoxic against human prostate (PC-3), Henrietta Lacks cervical (HeLa) and Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 breast (MCF-7) cancer cell lines, and 3T3 normal fibroblast cell line, except4ywhich was cytotoxic against all the cell lines.

The trans-[CoIII(acacen)(ta)2]ClO4 (1) and trans-[CoIII((BA)2en)(ta)2]PF6 (2) complexes, where H2acacen = bis(acetylacetone)ethylenediimine, H2(BA)2en = bis(benzoylacetone)ethylenediimine, and ta = thioacetamide, have been synthesized by a solid-state method, and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV–vis, and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The crystal and molecular structures of 1 and 2 were determined by X-ray crystallography. Both compounds crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2/n. The ClO4 and PF6 ions are both disordered, ClO4 on a twofold axis in 1 and PF6 on an inversion center in 2. Also bridging N-CH2-CH2-N is disordered in both compounds. The octahedral coordination of Co(III) is slightly distorted in both cases. The thioacetamide ligands are S-bonded and occupy the axial position. The IR, UV–vis, and 1H NMR spectra of the two complexes and their solvatochromic properties are also discussed. The longest wavelength absorption that appears at 517 nm for 1 and at 528 nm for 2 in chloroform is solvent dependent, and is assigned as a metal-mediated ligand-to-ligand charge transfer (LLCT).Key words: solid-state synthesis, thioactamide, Co(III) (Schiff base), crystal structure, solvatochromism, metal-mediated LLCT.

We report in this study the synthesis, crystal culture, and single-crystal X-ray crystallography of two new kinds of double stilbene, which were readily prepared from trinitro-p-xylene and p-tolualdehyde in the presence of piperidine. We found that these triclinic crystals belong to the space group P-1. These compounds were also investigated using FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and MS spectroscopy techniques. The thermal decomposition processes of the compounds were tested by DSC and TG-DTG at a heating rate of 10  C/min. These results indicate that the compounds have high heat-resistant stability.Key words: polynitrostilbene, molecular structure, thermal decomposition.

Mixed Generation

Polyhydroxylated dendrimer was synthesized from poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer generation 3 by addition of glycidol (G3gl). G3gl megamer was further modified by binding PAMAM G0 dendrimers by activation of G3gl with p-nitrophenylchloroformate, followed by the addition of excess PAMAM G0 and purification using dialysis. The maximum G0 binding capacity of G3gl was 12 in the case when G0 was equipped with two covalently attached nimesulide equivalents. Nimesulide (N) was converted into N-(p-nitrophenyl) carbonate derivative and fully characterized using X-ray crystallography and spectral methods. Nimesulide was then attached to G0 via a urea bond to yield G02N. The mixed generation G3gl–G02N megamer was characterized using 1H NMR spectroscopy, and its molecular weight was estimated to be 22.4 kDa. The AFM image of G3gl–G02N deposited on mica demonstrated aggregation of nimesulide-covered megamer. The height of the deposited megamer was 8.5 nm. The megameric conjugate with nimesulide was tested in vitro on three human cell lines: squamous cell carcinoma (SCC-15) and glioblastoma (U-118 MG) overexpressing cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and normal skin fibroblasts (BJ). The conjugate efficiently penetrated into all cells and was more cytotoxic against SCC-15 than against BJ. Moreover, the conjugate produced a strong and selective antiproliferative effect on both cancer cell lines (IC50 < 7.5 µM).

Morpholine- and bis(2-methoxyethyl)amine-substituted 1,3,5-triazine derivatives containing an alkoxy-o-carborane in the 6-position of the triazine ring were successfully synthesized. The molecular structures of the methoxy- and ethoxy-o-carboranyl-1,3,5-triazines were established by X-ray crystallography. In vitro studies showed that the methylene bridged morpholine- and bis(2-methoxyethyl)amine-substituted o-carboranyl-1,3,5-triazines accumulated to high levels in B16 melanoma cells and exhibited higher cytotoxicity than p-boronophenylalanine.
