Carboxylated acyclonucleosides: synthesis and RNase A inhibition.

ABSTRACT: Strategically designed carboxylated acyclonucleosides have been probed as a new class of RNase A inhibitors. Several experimental and theoretical studies have been performed to compile relevant qualitative and quantitative information regarding the nature and extent of inhibition. The inhibition constant (Ki) values were determined using a UV-based kinetics experiment. The changes in the secondary structure of the enzyme upon binding with the inhibitors were obtained from circular dichroism studies. The binding constants for enzyme-inhibitor interactions were determined with the help of fluorescence spectroscopy. Docking studies were performed to reveal the possible binding sites of the inhibitors within the enzyme. The cytosine analogues were found to possess better inhibitory properties in comparison to the corresponding uracil derivatives. An increment in the number of carboxylic acid groups (-COOH) in the inhibitor backbone was found to result in better inhibition.

Ecofriendly synthesis and characterization of carboxylated GAP copolymers.

Project description:Carboxylated GAP copolymers (polyGA-carboxylate) compounds (1-7), were synthesized by the simultaneous substitution reaction with PECH, sodium azide, and sodium carboxylate in DMSO. The synthesized compounds (1-7) were characterized by various analysis tools, such as Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), inverse gated decoupling 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), calorimetry, and friction and impact sensitivity. These poly(GA-carboxylate) compounds (1-7) have better thermal properties owing to their lower glass transition temperatures, from -48 °C to -55 °C, compared to glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) (-49 °C) and similar first thermal decomposition temperatures (228-230 °C) in comparison to GAP (227 °C), regardless of the introduction of the carboxylate group in GAP. Moreover, poly(GA0.8-butyrate0.2) and poly(GA0.8-decanoate0.2) have higher heats of combustion (2331 and 2976 kJ mol-1) and negative formation enthalpies (-0.75 and -2.02 kJ g-1), while GAP has a lower heat of combustion (2029 kJ mol-1) and positive formation enthalpy (1.33 kJ g-1). Therefore, poly(GA-carboxylate) could be a good candidate for the polymeric binder in solid propellants.

Novel Carbazole (Cbz)-Based Carboxylated Functional Monomers: Design, Synthesis, and Characterization.

Project description:A series of novel functional carbazole (Cbz)-based carboxylated monomers were synthesized and characterized. A Clauson-Kaas procedure, a deprotection step, amide coupling, and hydrolysis were utilized as key chemical reactions towards the multistep synthesis of monomers in good to excellent isolated yields. The design strategy was further extended to complex carbazole-COOH monomers incorporated arylazo groups as photoreactive moieties. In addition, photoreactive hybrid carbazole (Cbz)-pyrrole (Pyr)-based carboxylated monomers, comprising a pyrrole core linking a carbazole and a photoreactive phenylazide or benzophenone moiety through an amide spacer in the molecular structure, were also synthesized. The latter can be utilized for surface modification of polymeric films in their monomeric form or as polymeric microparticles (MPs).

Retroviral RNase H: Structure, mechanism, and inhibition.

Project description:All retroviruses encode the enzyme, reverse transcriptase (RT), which is involved in the conversion of the single-stranded viral RNA genome into double-stranded DNA. RT is a multifunctional enzyme and exhibits DNA polymerase and ribonuclease H (RNH) activities, both of which are essential to the reverse-transcription process. Despite the successful development of polymerase-targeting antiviral drugs over the last three decades, no bona fide inhibitor against the RNH activity of HIV-1 RT has progressed to clinical evaluation. In this review article, we describe the retroviral RNH function and inhibition, with primary consideration of the structural aspects of inhibition.

Carboxylated dithiafulvenes and tetrathiafulvalene vinylogues: synthesis, electronic properties, and complexation with zinc ions.

Project description:A class of carboxyl and carboxylate ester-substituted dithiafulvene (DTF) derivatives and tetrathiafulvalene vinylogues (TTFVs) has been synthesized and their electronic and electrochemical redox properties were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopic and cyclic voltammetric analyses. The carboxyl-TTFV was applied as a redox-active ligand to complex with Zn(II) ions, forming a stable Zn-TTFV coordination polymer. The structural, electrochemical, and thermal properties of the coordination polymer were investigated by infrared spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, powder X-ray diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetric analyses. Furthermore, the microscopic porosity and surface area of the Zn-TTFV coordination polymer were measured by nitrogen gas adsorption analysis, showing a BET surface of 148.2 m(2) g(-1) and an average pore diameter of 10.2 nm.

Synthesis of Metal-Loaded Carboxylated Biopolymers with Antibacterial Activity through Metal Subnanoparticle Incorporation.

Project description:Carboxymethyl starch (CMS) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) loaded by highly dispersed metal subnanoparticles (MSNPs) showed antibacterial activity against E. coli and B. subtilis strains. Copper and silver were found to act in both cationic and zero-valence forms. The antibacterial activity depends on the metal species content but only up to a certain level. Silver cation (Ag+) showed higher antibacterial activity as compared to Ag0, which was, however, more effective than Cu0, due to weaker retention. The number of carboxyl groups of the biopolymers was found to govern the material dispersion in aqueous media, the metal retention strength and dispersion in the host-matrices. Cation and metal retention in both biopolymers was found to involve interactions with the oxygen atoms of both hydroxyl and carboxyl groups. There exists a ternary interdependence between the Zeta potential (ZP), pH induced by the biocidal agent and its particle size (PS). This interdependence is a key factor in the exchange processes with the surrounding species, including bacteria. Clay mineral incorporation was found to mitigate material dispersion, due to detrimental competitive clay:polymer interaction. This knowledge advancement opens promising prospects for manufacturing metal-loaded materials for biomedical applications.

Inhibition of the OAS/RNase L pathway by viruses.

Project description:The OAS/RNase L system was one of the first characterized interferon effector pathways. It relies on the synthesis, by oligoadenylate synthetases (OAS), of short oligonucleotides that act as second messengers to activate the latent cellular RNase L. Viruses have developed diverse strategies to escape its antiviral effects. This underscores the importance of the OAS/RNase L pathway in antiviral defenses. Viral proteins such as the NS1 protein of Influenza virus A act upstream of the pathway while other viral proteins such as Theiler's virus L* protein act downstream. The diversity of escape strategies used by viruses likely stems from their relative susceptibility to OAS/RNase L and other antiviral pathways, which may depend on their host and cellular tropism.

Synthesis of Functionalized Carboxylated Graphene Oxide for the Remediation of Pb and Cr Contaminated Water.

Project description:With the growing scarcity of water, the remediation of water polluted with heavy metals is the need of hour. The present research work is aimed to address this problem by adsorbing heavy metals ions (Pb (II) and Cr (VI)) on modified graphene oxide having an excess of carboxylic acid groups. For this, graphene oxide (GO) was modified with chloroacetic acid to produce carboxylated graphene oxide (GO-COOH). The successful synthesis of graphene oxide and its modification has been confirmed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDX) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The increase in surface area of graphene oxide after treatment with chloroacetic acid characterized by BET indicated its successful modification. A batch experiment was conducted to optimize the different factors affecting adsorption of both heavy metals on GO-COOH. After functionalization, we achieved maximum adsorption capacities of 588.23 mg g-1 and 370.37 mg g-1 for Pb and Cr, respectively, by GO-COOH which were high compared to the previously reported adsorbents of this kind. The Langmuir model (R2 = 0.998) and Pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.999) confirmed the monolayer adsorption of Pb and Cr on GO-COOH and the chemisorption as the dominant process governing adsorption mechanism. The present work shows that the carboxylation of GO can enhance its adsorption capacity efficiently and may be applicable for the treatment of wastewater.

A novel mechanism of RNase L inhibition: Theiler's virus L* protein prevents 2-5A from binding to RNase L.

Project description:The OAS/RNase L pathway is one of the best-characterized effector pathways of the IFN antiviral response. It inhibits the replication of many viruses and ultimately promotes apoptosis of infected cells, contributing to the control of virus spread. However, viruses have evolved a range of escape strategies that act against different steps in the pathway. Here we unraveled a novel escape strategy involving Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) L* protein. Previously we found that L* was the first viral protein binding directly RNase L. Our current data show that L* binds the ankyrin repeats R1 and R2 of RNase L and inhibits 2'-5' oligoadenylates (2-5A) binding to RNase L. Thereby, L* prevents dimerization and oligomerization of RNase L in response to 2-5A. Using chimeric mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) expressing TMEV L*, we showed that L* efficiently inhibits RNase L in vivo. Interestingly, those data show that L* can functionally substitute for the MHV-encoded phosphodiesterase ns2, which acts upstream of L* in the OAS/RNase L pathway, by degrading 2-5A.

Specificity of dopachrome tautomerase and inhibition by carboxylated indoles. Considerations on the enzyme active site.

Project description:Dopachrome tautomerase (EC 5.3.2.3) catalyses the tautomerization of dopachrome to 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA) within the melanin-formation pathway. We have analysed a series of substrate analogues and related compounds as possible substrates and inhibitors of tautomerization. The enzyme appears to be highly specific since D-dopachrome, alpha-methyldopachrome, dopaminochrome, adrenochrome methyl ether and deoxyadrenochrome are not substrates. Conversely, dopachrome tautomerase catalyses the tautomerization of dopachrome methyl ester, suggesting that a carboxy group, either free or as a methyl ester, is essential for enzyme recognition. No inhibition of dopachrome tautomerization was observed in the presence of either semiquinonic compounds, such as tropolone and L-mimosine, or pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid and unsubstituted indole. However, a number of indole derivatives, including DHICA, the product of dopachrome tautomerization, and the analogues 5-hydroxyindole-2-carboxylic and indole-2-carboxylic acid were able to inhibit the enzyme. Furthermore, indoles with a side chain at position 3 of the ring and containing a carboxylic group at the gamma-position of this chain, such as L-tryptophan or indole-3-propionic acid, are stronger inhibitors of the enzyme. Indole-3-carboxylic acid, indole-3-acetic acid and indole-3-butyric acid are very weak inhibitors, showing that the carboxylic group needs to be located at an optimal distance from the indole ring to mimic the carboxylic group at position 2 on the authentic substrate.
