Msungu, Selly D. published the artcileStatus of carotenoids in elite and landrace maize genotypes: Implications for provitamin A biofortification in Tanzania, Name: (S)-2-(N-((2′-(1H-Tetrazol-5-yl)-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl)methyl)pentanamido)-3-methylbutanoic acid, the publication is Food Research International (2022), 111303, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

Maize is among the crops containing carotenoids that are easily converted to vitamin A and have an enormous influence on consumers health. Principally maize has high calories and proteins but has less number of other micronutrients such as vitamin A. Societies that use maize as their main and sole staple food are likely to be affected by vitamin A deficiency. Thus, development and production of maize varieties rich in micronutrients and vitamin A are important for improved health. This study characterized 5 carotenoid components in maize genotypes grown in Tanzania as a strategy for improving vitamin A content in maize. The study involved maize landraces, com. or elite varieties, and inbred lines in determining their potential for provitamin A breeding programs for nutrition improvement. The study found that mean concentration of important carotenoid components, i.e., alpha carotene (AC), beta-carotene (BC), beta-cryptoxanthin (BCX), lutein (LU), zeaxanthin (ZX), provitamin A (ProVA), non-provitamin A (Non-ProVA), and total carotenoids (TC) varied significantly (P < 0.001) among maize genotypes. The 3 maize groups studied (landraces, com. varieties, and breeding materials (BMs) varied significantly. For maize landraces, the concentration (μg/g) of studied carotenoids were AC (0.13-2.67), BC (0.60-3.72), BCX (0.36-1.01), ProVA (0.89-5.29), Retinol (0.25-0.87), LU (2.37-16.97). ZX (0.16-4.41), Non-ProVA (2.4-19.01), and TC (3.68-25.27); in com. or elite maize varieties were (in μg/g): AC (0.31-3.84), BC (0.56-6.5), BCX (0.46-2.58), ProVA (0.92-11.80), Retinol (0.15-1.82), LU (3.28-22.39). ZX (0.05-11.31), Non-ProVA (2.56-28.81), and TC (4.23-37.84); and for maize BMs AC (0.53-6.64), BC (1.92-13.87), BCX (0.65-6.51), ProVA (2.69-18.62), Retinol (0.5-3.1), LU (4.86-34.99), ZX (0.06-18.58), Non-ProVA (4.8-53.57), and TC (9.86-76.94). Furthermore, the study found that the concentration of studied carotenoids was higher in pigmented (yellow or red) maize genotypes than in white maize genotypes. The current study found an appreciable amount of ProVA in studied materials, including maize landraces, com. yellow varieties, and CIMMYT lines. The concentration of ProVA and retinol determined in studied maize genotypes were below 15 μg/g a daily vitamin A requirement, thus based on the current ProVA and retinol status it is difficult to meet Vitamin A requirement. Therefore, these maize genotypes with promising levels of carotenoid components are potential breeding materials that can be used in maize provitamin A biofortification program for improved food nutrition and livelihoods in Tanzania.

Gupta, Pankaj published the artcileRecognition of Double-Stranded RNA by Guanidine-Modified Peptide Nucleic Acids, Related Products of amides-buliding-blocks, the publication is Biochemistry (2012), 51(1), 63-73, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

Double-helical RNA has become an attractive target for mol. recognition because many noncoding RNAs play important roles in the control of gene expression. Recently, we discovered that short peptide nucleic acids (PNA) bind strongly and sequence selectively to a homopurine tract of double-helical RNA via formation of a triple helix. Herein, we tested if the mol. recognition of RNA could be enhanced by α-guanidine modification of PNA. Our study was motivated by the discovery of Ly and co-workers that the guanidine modification greatly enhances the cellular delivery of PNA. Isothermal titration calorimetry showed that the guanidine-modified PNA (GPNA) had reduced affinity and sequence selectivity for triple-helical recognition of RNA. The data suggested that in contrast to unmodified PNA, which formed a 1:1 PNA-RNA triple helix, GPNA preferred a 2:1 GPNA-RNA triplex invasion complex. Nevertheless, promising results were obtained for recognition of biol. relevant double-helical RNA. Consistent with enhanced strand invasion ability, GPNA derived from D-arginine recognized the transactivation response element of HIV-1 with high affinity and sequence selectivity, presumably via Watson-Crick duplex formation. On the other hand, strong and sequence selective triple helixes were formed by unmodified and nucleobase-modified PNA and the purine-rich strand of the bacterial A-site. These results suggest that appropriate chem. modifications of PNA may enhance mol. recognition of complex noncoding RNAs.

Mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride(mpg-CN)as a heterogeneous organic semiconductor photocatalyst for direct arylation of sp³ C-H bonds in combination with nickel catalysis are reported. This protocol has a broad synthetic scope (>70 examples including late-stage functionalization of drugs and agrochems.), was operationally simple, and shows high chemo- and regioselectivities. Facile separation and recycling of the mpg-CN catalyst in combination with its low preparation cost, innate photochem. stability, and low toxicity are beneficial features overcoming typical shortcomings of homogeneous photocatalysis. Detailed mechanistic investigations and kinetic studies indicate that an unprecedented energy-transfer process (EnT) from the organic semiconductor to the nickel complex was operated.

A solid-phase synthesis strategy for post-conjugation of amino acids and a phenanthroline derivative to peptide nucleic acids is described. The peptide nucleic acids, synthesized by 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl chem. on TentaGel S Rink Amide resin, have an internally placed unit carrying an amino linker with 4-methyltrityl protection. Methyltrityl removal by mild acidic conditions and conjugation of amino acids or a phenanthroline derivative, via an amide or urea linker, was performed on-resin after completion of the chain assembly. This solid phase methodol. resulted in excellent purities of the crude conjugates.

Gahtory, Digvijay published the artcileFacile functionalization of peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) for antisense and single nucleotide polymorphism detection, Application In Synthesis of 186046-83-3, the publication is Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry (2017), 15(32), 6710-6714, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

In this report, we show how a convenient on-resin copper-click functionalization of azido-functionalized peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) allows various PNA-based detection strategies. Firstly, a thiazole orange (TO) clicked PNA probe facilitates a binary readout when combined with F/Q labeled DNA, giving increased sensitivity for antisense detection. Secondly, our TO-PNA conjugate also allows single nucleotide polymorphism detection. Since antisense detection is also possible in the absence of the TO label, our sensing platform based on azido-D-ornithine containing PNA even allows for addnl. and more advanced functionalization and sensing strategies.

Tenn, William J. III published the artcileAmidates as Leaving Groups: Structure/Reactivity Correlation of the Hydroxide-Dependent E1cB-like Breakdown of Carbinolamides in Aqueous Solution, COA of Formula: C7H5Cl2NO, the publication is Journal of Organic Chemistry (2007), 72(16), 6075-6083, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

The kinetic study of the aqueous reaction, between pH 10 and 14, of eight N-(hydroxymethyl)benzamide derivatives in water at 25 °C, I = 1.0 M (KCl), was performed. In all cases, the reaction proceeds via a specific-base-catalyzed deprotonation of the hydroxyl group followed by rate-limiting breakdown of the alkoxide to form aldehyde and amidate (E1cB-like). Such a mechanism was supported by the lack of general buffer catalysis and the first-order dependence of the rate of reaction at low hydroxide concentrations and the transition to zero-order dependence on hydroxide at high concentration A ρ-value of 0.67 was found for the Hammett correlation between the maximum rate for the hydroxide independent breakdown of the deprotonated carbinolamide (k₁) and the substituent on the aromatic ring of the title compounds Conversely, the substituents on the aromatic ring of the amide portion of the carbinolamide had only a small effect on the K_a of the hydroxyl group indicating that the amide group does not strongly transmit the electronic information of the substituents. The major effect of electronic changes on the amide of carbinolamides is reflected in the nucleofugality of the amidate once the alkoxide is formed and not in the pK_a of the hydroxyl group of the carbinolamide.

Yagita, Ryotaro published the artcileSynthesis and physicochemical properties of 20-mer peptide nucleic acid conjugates with testosterone 17β-carboxylic acid, Product Details of C40H35N7O8, the publication is Tetrahedron Letters (2020), 61(17), 151781, database is CAplus.

Although peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) have improved nuclease resistance compared with DNA or RNA, it is difficult to synthesize long PNAs because of poor elongation yield. Herein we synthesized 20-mer PNAs (PNA₂₀), targeting Nnmt mRNA, as well as its conjugate with testosterone 17β-carboxylic acid, in high purity and yield. This synthesis was conducted using Oxyma as a condensation agent and NMP as a solvent for Fmoc-PNA-C(Bhoc)-OH. The resistance of PNA₂₀ to exonuclease was higher than that of RNA. Furthermore, the abilities of PNA₂₀ and its conjugate to bind to complementary DNA were stronger than that of DNA or RNA. These findings lay the basis for the synthesis of long PNA derivatives toward oligonucleotide therapeutics.

Chignen Possi, Kelvine published the artcileInfluences of histidine-1 and azaphenylalanine-4 on the affinity, anti-inflammatory, and antiangiogenic activities of azapeptide cluster of differentiation 36 receptor modulators, Application of H-Lys(Boc)-OH, the publication is Journal of Medicinal Chemistry (2017), 60(22), 9263-9274, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

Azapeptide analogs of growth hormone releasing peptide-6 (GHRP-6) exhibit promising affinity, selectivity, and modulator activity on the cluster of differentiation 36 receptor (CD36). For example, [A¹, azaF⁴] and [azaY⁴]-GHRP-6 were previously shown to bind selectively to CD36 and exhibited resp. significant antiangiogenic and slight angiogenic activities in a microvascular sprouting assay using choroid explants. The influences of the 1- and 4-position residues on the affinity, anti-inflammatory, and antiangiogenic activity of these azapeptides have now been studied in detail by the synthesis and anal. of a set of 25 analogs featuring Ala¹ or His¹ and a variety of aromatic side chains at the aza-amino acid residue in the 4-position. Although their binding affinities differed only by a factor of 17, the analogs exhibited significant differences in ability to modulate production of nitric oxide (NO) in macrophages and choroidal neovascularization.

Saha, Rumpa published the artcileDevelopment of a ruthenium-aquo complex for utilization in synthesis and catalysis for selective hydration of nitriles and alkynes, COA of Formula: C6H6N2O, the publication is New Journal of Chemistry (2022), 46(19), 9098-9110, database is CAplus.

Synthesis of a ruthenium(II)-aquo complex bearing 2,2′ : 6′,2”-terpyridine and a 1,4-diazabutadiene ligand, and exploration of its synthetic utility and catalytic activity are described. Ag⁺-assisted displacement of the coordinated chloride from the previously reported [Ru(trpy)(L-OCH₃)Cl]ClO₄ complex [denoted as complex 1; where L-OCH₃ represents 1,4-di-(p-methoxyphenyl)azabutadiene] in aqueous ethanol affords the [Ru(trpy)(L-OCH₃)(H₂O)]²⁺ complex cation, which was isolated as a perchlorate salt (complex 1a). Complex 1a undergoes facile substitution of the aquo ligand by neutral monodentate ligands giving complexes of type [Ru(trpy)(L-OCH₃)(L’)]²⁺, also isolated as perchlorate salts [L’ = acetonitrile (complex 1b); L’ = DMSO (complex 1c); L’ = 4-picoline (complex 1d) and L’ = PPh₃ (complex 1e)]. Complexes 1b–1e can also be synthesized directly from complex 1via the Ag⁺-assisted displacement of coordinated chloride by the resp. monodentate L’ ligand. The crystal structures of complexes 1a, 1b and 1d were determined The complexes show intense absorptions in the visible and UV regions, the origin of which was probed into with the help of the TDDFT method. Cyclic voltammetry of the complexes shows an irreversible Ru(II)-Ru(III) oxidation within 0.9-1.6 v vs. SCE, and two ligand (trpy and L-R) based reductions on the neg. side of the SCE. The aquo-complex (1a) is found to serve as an efficient catalyst for the hydration of aryl nitriles to the corresponding amides, and aryl alkynes to aldehydes.
