A series of novel boronic acid-containing diarylpyrimidine(DAPY) derivatives were designed via bioisosterism and scaffold-hopping strategies,taking advantage of the ability of a boronic acid group to form multiple hydrogen bonds. The target compounds were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-HIV activities and cytotoxicity in MT-4 cells.Compound 10 j yielded the most potent activity and turned out to be a single-digit nanomolar inhibitor towards the HIV-1 ⅢB [wild-type(WT) strain], L100 I and K103 N strains, with 50% effective concentration(EC_(50)) values of 7.19–9.85 nmol/L. Moreover, 10 j inhibited the double-mutant strain RES056 with an EC_(50) value of 77.9 nmol/L, which was 3.3-more potent than that of EFV(EC_(50)= 260 nmol/L) and comparable to that of ETR(EC_(50)= 32.2 nmol/L). 10j acted like classical NNRTIs with high affinity for WT HIV-1 reverse transcriptase(RT) with 50% inhibition concentration(IC_(50)) value of 0.1837 μmol/L. Furthermore,molecular dynamics simulation indicated that 10 j was proposed as a promising molecule for fighting against HIV-1 infection through inhibiting RT activity. Overall, the results demonstrated that 10 j could serve as a lead molecule for further modification to address virus-drug resistance.展开更多

Although random covalent-binding of antibody has been widely adopted in immunoassays due to its simplicity and effectiveness, it readily loses its activity and fails to exhibit high antigen-binding capacity. In this work, copolymer of zwitterionic sulfobetaine methacrylate（SBMA） and glycidyl methacrylate（GMA） brushes were immobilized onto inert polypropylene（PP） via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization（ATRP） based on biomimetic dopamine pretreatment. Subsequently, boronic acid（BA） groups were covalently bonded via active GMA units, followed by the introduction of oriented immobilization of antibody. Owing to the oriented immobilization of antibody facilitated by BA groups in polymer brush, the bioactivity of antibody is well preserved, which endows the surface with significantly enhanced antigen-binding capacity. Moreover, the existence of SBMA segments in polymer brushes renders the surface high resistance to nonspecific protein adsorption, significantly alleviating the signal interference of antigen recognition. This strategy could find potential applications in developing high sensitive immunoassay platforms based on the different substrates.展开更多

Oxidized samples were studied by X ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscopy. It is demonstrated that the oxidation results in the formation of a thin transparent B 2O 3 film, and the oxide film is severely cracked during cooling due to the thermal expansion mismatch between the oxide film and B 4C substrate. B 2O 3 reacts with moisture in air to form boric acid, which is a kind of solid lubricant. The sliding friction factors of oxidized B 4C pair are about 0.05 0.08, compared to 0.25 0.35 of the as received B 4C pair. When the oxidation temperature is up to 1 273 K, severe unstability and increase of friction factor are observed. Visual inspection of the wear track reveals that the lubricant film is broken and some debris particles occur on and around the rubbing surfaces, because the friction interface is rough by the severe etching of grain boundaries.展开更多

文摘A DFT-based theoretical investigation is reported here to clarify the mechanism of action of a recently synthesized Ir(Ⅲ)complex,Ir-B(OH)_(2),characterized by the presence of an aryl boronic acid moiety on one bidentate ligand that can detect H_(2)O_(2) in cancer cells.The H_(2)O_(2)-mediated oxidation of boronic acids under physiological conditions affords the active complex for PDT application,Ir-OH,and a quinone methide(QM)as a by-product,which in turn can scavenge glutathione(GSH)compromising one of the most powerful cellular defence against the ROS produced by PDT treatments.The most plausible reaction mechanism for the oxidation of the aryl boronic acid by H_(2)O_(2) is described.The formation of the products,namely the PS Ir-OH and the QM,is achieved overcoming an energy barrier of 33 kcal mol^(−1) and with a considerable energy gain.The description of the subsequent GSH scavenging mechanism by the released QM evidences that the reaction occurs with a low energy expense.Moreover,the computation of the photophysical properties,needed for evaluating the occurrence of type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ processes,of the prodrug Ir-B(OH)_(2) and the active PS Ir-OH suggests that they are both able to generate the singlet molecular oxygen,^(1)O_(2),while other ROS cannot be achieved.Moreover,the MOs involved in the excited states population,both singlet and triplet,unravel the key role of the metal centre in the ISC process.

文摘Dynamic room-temperature phosphorescence(RTP)materials with color-tunable afterglow characteristics hold great promise for advanced anti-counterfeiting and multidimensional encryption applications.In this work,we successfully synthesized a novel two-dimensional phenylammonium cadmium chloride perovskite(B-PACC)with enhanced RTP efficiency via boronic acid group-assisted crystallization.Furthermore,a precise doping strategy was employed to introduce Mn^(2+),which assembled into Mn^(2+)pairs forming a Mn^(2+)-based inorganic layer.This layer,together with B-PACC,constructed a heterojunction structure with different interlayer spacings,enabling dynamic afterglow emission color modulation from red to blue.Moreover,tuning the Mn^(2+)concentration enables precise modulation of the energy transfer rates from the singlet and triplet states of the organic moieties to the Mn^(2+)layer,thereby allowing fine control over the dynamic RTP behavior.Benefiting from the minimal background interference and large chromaticity contrast associated with the red-to-blue phosphorescence transition,the system exhibited high visual detectability.Based on this dynamic afterglow behavior,we successfully developed time-resolved anti-counterfeiting patterns and constructed dynamic room-temperature phosphorescence-based four-dimensional(4D)codes,providing new insights into the design of dynamic RTP materials and highly secure encryption strategies.

文摘Using a ditopic organic linker 4-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)benzoic acid(H_(2)pba),FICN-6,a metal-organic framework containing both Cu_(2)(O_(2)CR)_(4)and Cu_(3)(OH)(pyz)_(3)(O_(2)CR)secondary building units(SBUs),was synthesized.FICN-6 adopts in an unusual intercatenated structure with SBUs from two distinct networks connecting to each other.Presence of Cu_(3)clusters makes FICN-6 a good heterogeneous catalyst for oxygen activation and aerobic oxidative C-C coupling of organic boronic acids.

文摘Considering that hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)plays significant roles in oxidative stress,the cellular signal transduction and essential biological process regulation,the detection and imaging of H2O2 in living systems undertakes critical responsibility.Herein,we have developed a novel two-photon fluorescence turn on probe,named as Pyp-B for mitochondria H2O2 detection in living systems.Selectivity studies show that probe Pyp-B exhibit highly sensitive response toward H2O2 than other reactive oxygen species(ROS)and reactive nitrogen species(RNS)as well as biologically relevant species.The fluorescence colocalization studies demonstrate that the probe can localize in the mitochondria solely.Furthermore,as a bio-compatibility molecule,the highly selective and sensitive of fluorescence probe Pyp-B have been confirmed by its cell imaging application of H2O2 in living A549 cells and zebrafishes under the physiological conditions.

文摘The oxidation behavior at 973 1 273 K and the effect of oxidation on the room temperature tribological properties of hot pressed boron carbide ceramic were investigated. Oxidized samples were studied by X ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscopy. It is demonstrated that the oxidation results in the formation of a thin transparent B 2O 3 film, and the oxide film is severely cracked during cooling due to the thermal expansion mismatch between the oxide film and B 4C substrate. B 2O 3 reacts with moisture in air to form boric acid, which is a kind of solid lubricant. The sliding friction factors of oxidized B 4C pair are about 0.05 0.08, compared to 0.25 0.35 of the as received B 4C pair. When the oxidation temperature is up to 1 273 K, severe unstability and increase of friction factor are observed. Visual inspection of the wear track reveals that the lubricant film is broken and some debris particles occur on and around the rubbing surfaces, because the friction interface is rough by the severe etching of grain boundaries.

文摘Prostate cancer(PC)biomarker-citrate detection is clinically important to diagnose PC in early stages.Methylquinolinium iodide(Q)conjugated indole-phenylboronic acid(IB)was designed as a red-emissive QIB probe for the detection of citrate through Lewis acid-base reaction and intramolecular charge transfer(ICT)sensing mechanisms.Boronic acid acts as Lewis acid as well as citrate(Lewis base)recognition unit.The probe reacted with citrate,showing enhanced red emissions.Since the probe has excellent water solubility and great biocompatibility,practical application in biological systems is possible.Citrate was monitored precisely in the mitochondria organelle(in vitro)of living cells with a positive charge on QIB.Also,endogenous(in situ)citrate was detected quantitatively to discriminate non-cancerous and PC mice,observed strong and lower(negligible)emission intensity on non-cancerous and cancerous prostate tissues,respectively.Because,the concentration of citrate is higher in healthy prostate compared with PC prostate.Furthermore,the analysis of sliced prostate tissues can give PC-related information for clinical diagnosis to prevent and treat PC in the initial stages.Therefore,we believe that the present probe is a promising biochemical reagent in diagnosing PC.
文摘A method for the efficient and reliable synthesis of aryl nitriles via the Cu20-catalyed cross-coupling of aryl boronic acids or esters and TMSCN is presented. A broad range of substrates decorated by electron-rich and defi- cient, sterically very congested, and labile functionalities were tolerated. Moreover, the reaction can proceed under mild conditions at room temperature. These advantages paired with the use of cheap, readily available, and halo- gen-free Cu20 as catalysts make the protocol an appealing option for aryl cyanations.
