0 μM against A431 cells. Remarkably, both 1 and 2 were almost ineffective against immortalized keratinocytes, used as a preneoplastic cell line model.A retrosynthetic disconnection-reconnection analysis of epoxypolyenes-substrates that can undergo cyclization to podocarpane-type tricycles-reveals relay-actuated Δ6,7-functionalized monoterpenoid alcohols for ruthenium benzylidene catalyzed olefin cross-metathesis with homoprenyl benzenes. Successful implementation of this approach provided several epoxypolyenes as expected (E/Z, ca. 2-31). The method is further generalized for the cross-metathesis of pre-existing trisubstituted olefins in other relay-actuated Δ6,7-functionalized monoterpenoid alcohols with various other trisubstituted alkenes to form new trisubstituted olefins. Epoxypolyene cyclization of an enantiomerically pure, but geometrically impure, epoxypolyene substrate provides an enantiomerically pure, trans-fused, podocarpane-type tricycle (from the E-geometrical isomer).Overexpression of phosphopantetheinyl transferase (PPtase)-encoding genes sfp and svp in the marine-derived Verrucosispora sp. SCSIO 40062 led to the production of two new aminofuran monomers, proximicin F (1) and proximicin G (3) and a new dimer diproximicin A (2), along with two known compounds, proximicins B (4) and C (5). Their structures were unambiguously elucidated on the basis of detailed NMR spectroscopic analysis and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESIMS) data. Proximicin B (4) showed moderate antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus, and Bacillus subtilis.The AlF2(O2S) and SiF2(O2S) complexes with bidentately coordinated sulfur dioxide ligands were prepared via the reactions of aluminum and silicon atoms with SO2F2 under UV-vis irradiation in cryogenic matrixes. The products were identified by infrared spectroscopy as well as DFT frequency calculations, and nonplanar C2v structures with the SO2 ligand bound to Al/Si via two oxygen atoms were established. In spite of the similarity in geometric structures, the electronic structures of AlF2(O2S) and SiF2(O2S) are completely different. The longer S-O bond length and the lower O-S-O stretching vibrational frequencies of SiF2(O2S) in comparison to those of AlF2(O2S) indicate that SiF2(O2S) possesses a singlet SO22--like ligand while the SO2 ligand is better described as SO2- in AlF2(O2S), which is further confirmed by bonding and population analysis. Linear correlations were established between the experimental O-S-O stretching frequencies and calculated S-O bond lengths of SO2, AlF2(O2S), and SiF2(O2S), suggesting that the S-O bond is gradually activated when SO2 is coordinated to AlF2 and SiF2.Biomolecular assembly in biological systems is typically a complex dynamic process regulated by the exchange of molecular information between biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. GSK690693 solubility dmso Here, we demonstrate a nucleic-acid-based system that can program the dynamic assembly process of viral proteins. Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) genome-mimicking RNA is anchored on DNA origami nanostructures via hybridization with a series of DNA strands which also function as locks that prevent the packaging of RNA by the TMV proteins. The selective, sequential releasing of the RNA via toehold-mediated strand displacement allows us to program the availability of RNA and subsequently the TMV growth in situ. Furthermore, the programmable dynamic assembly of TMV on DNA templates also enables the production of new DNA-protein hybrid nanostructures, which are not attainable by using previous assembly methods.We report an experimental discovery and computational investigation of the first photochemical stereoselective [1,3]-sigmatropic silyl shift of an allylsilane. An organocatalytic enantioselective cascade annulation generates a trimethylsilyl-o-isotoluene reactant in >991 e.r., and this trimethylsilyl-o-isotoluene contains an allylic silane moiety that undergoes a stereoselective photochemical [1,3]-silyl shift to form a benzylsilane with 964 e.r. The mechanism of this unprecedented [1,3]-silyl shift has been elucidated by a series of experimental studies and CASSCF, DFT, and TD-DFT calculations on model systems and the experimental system. The highly stereoselective photoreaction is proposed to occur via a singlet silyl/allyl conical intersection. This is a new demonstration of the role of conical intersections in selective photochemistry.We present a structural and optical characterization of magnetoelastic zircon-type TmVO4 at ambient pressure and under high pressure. The properties under high pressure have been determined experimentally under hydrostatic conditions and theoretically using density functional theory. By powder X-ray diffraction we show that TmVO4 undergoes a first-order irreversible phase transition to a scheelite structure above 6 GPa. We have also determined (from powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction) the bulk moduli of both phases and found that their compressibilities are anisotropic. The band gap of TmVO4 is found to be Eg = 3.7(2) eV. Under compression the band gap opens linearly, until it undergoes a huge collapse following the structural phase transition (ΔEg = 1.15 eV). Ab initio structural and free energy calculations support our findings. Moreover, calculations of the band structure and density of states reveal that for both zircon and scheelite TmVO4 the band gap is entirely determined by the V 3d and O 2p states of the VO43- ion. The behavior of the band gap can thus be understood entirely in terms of the structural modifications of the VO4 units under compression. Additionally, we have calculated the evolution of the infrared and Raman phonons of both phases upon compression. The presence of soft modes is related to the dynamic instability of the low-pressure phase and to the phase transition.Two new cyclic depsipeptides named swinhopeptolides A (1) and B (2) have been isolated from the marine sponge Theonella swinhoei cf. verrucosa, collected from Papua New Guinea. They each contain 11 diverse amino acid residues and 13-carbon polyketide moieties attached at the N-terminus. Compounds 1 and 2 each exist as two conformers in DMSO-d6 due to cis/trans isomerism of the proline residue, and their structures were successfully assigned by extensive NMR analyses complemented by chemical degradation and derivatization studies. Swinhopeptolide B (2) contains a previously undescribed 2,6,8-trimethyldeca-(2E,4E,6E)-trienoic acid moiety N-linked to a terminal serine residue. Swinhopeptolides A (1) and B (2) showed significant inhibition of the Ras/Raf signaling pathway with IC50 values of 5.8 and 8.5 μM, respectively.
