Hemolytic behavior of a series of different categories of Gemini surfactants was determined in their low concentration range. Cationic Gemini surfactants of different molecular architectures prove to be highly cytotoxic even at 0.1 mM. Anionic and amino acid-based Gemini surfactants were minimally cytotoxic, although their toxicity was concentration-dependent. With respect to monomeric surfactants of comparable hydrocarbon chain lengths, cationic Gemini surfactants were much more toxic than anionic Gemini surfactants. Incubation temperature was another important parameter that significantly drove the hemolysis irrespective of the molecular structure of the surfactant. Results indicated that the surface activity or liquid-blood cell membrane adsorption tendency of a surfactant molecule determined the degree of hemolytic anemia. Greater surface activity induced greater cytotoxicity, especially when the surfactant possessed a stronger ability to interact with the membrane proteins through hydrophilic interactions. That provided cationic Gemini surfactants a higher ability for hemolytic anemia because they were able to interact with an electronegative cell membrane with favorable interactions in comparison to anionic or amino acid-based Gemini surfactants. These findings are expected to help in designing surface-active drugs with a suitable molecular architecture that can avoid hemolytic anemia.Herein, we report a stimulus-responsive supercooled π-conjugated liquid and the possibility of its application in rewritable media. Supercooled liquid 1 showed a dramatic change in its photoluminescent color upon the transformation from liquid 1l (yellow emission) to solid 1s (green emission). These phenomena were revealed by fluorescence spectra as well as lifetime decay profiles.The diffuse reflectance spectroelectrochemistry (SE-DRS) and reversed double-beam photoacoustic spectroscopy (RDB-PAS) provide unique, complementary information on the density of electronic states (DOS) in the vicinity of the conduction band bottom. The measurements are performed under quite different conditions, representing the solid/liquid and solid/gas interfaces in SE-DRS and RDB-PAS, respectively. DOS profiles obtained from both types of measurements can be considered as unique "fingerprints" of the tested materials. The analysis of DOS profiles recorded for 16 different TiO2 samples confirms that both methods similarly describe the shapes of DOS profiles around the conduction band edges. The states characterized by energy higher than VBT (valence-band top) + Eg can be considered as electronic states within the conduction band. selleckchem Recognition of the potential of the conduction band bottom allows one to classify the electronic states as deep or shallow electron traps or conduction band states, which play different roles in photocatalysis. The comparative analysis shows that both methods provide very useful information which can be used in understanding and predicting the photo(electro)catalytic reactivity of semiconductors.This work emphasizes facile construction of C-3a vinyl substituted hexahydropyrrolidinoindolines based upon Ni-catalyzed reductive coupling of chloro-hexahydropyrroloindoline derivatives with a wide range of alkyl-decorated vinyl triflates. The remarkable compatibility of sterically hindered branched vinyl groups is highlighted.A cooperative, one-pot approach for the in situ generation and ensuing cycloaddition of thioaldehydes and ortho-quinone methides transiently formed under irradiation with UV-A light and Brønsted acid catalysis, respectively, has been developed giving direct access to benzo[e][1,3]oxathiines in good to excellent yields and diastereoselectivity. Both electron-rich and electron-poor thioaldehydes easily react with a broad range of ortho-quinone methides at ambient temperature in a short reaction time to furnish a wide variety of S,O-heterocycles.An efficient synthesis of halogen-substituted allenyl ketones via Ag-catalyzed oxidative ring opening of allenyl cyclic alcohols under mild reaction conditions has been achieved. The reaction features a wide substrate scope and excellent regioselectivity. The synthetic potential of the products has been demonstrated by their conversion to stereodefined alkenes and heterocyclic compounds.A new general synthesis of pharmaceutically important azolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines starting from widely available 3(5)-aminoazoles, aldehydes, and triethylamine is developed. The key is to enable the vinylation reaction that allows the in situ generation of elusive acyclic enamines and the subsequent annulation reaction to occur. This direct and practical strategy is capable of constructing a range of 5,6-unsubstituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines and [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines. More importantly, this protocol provides a concise synthetic route to prepare the clinically used zaleplon.We report for the first time that the imidate radical can be efficiently added to glycals to generate glycosyl radicals, based on which a general, toxic-reagent-free synthesis of C-glycosides of 2-deoxy-2-amino sugars has been developed. Complementary to previous strategies, the reaction is 1,2-trans-stereoselective and could use aryl alkenes as substrates. The late-stage functionalization and density functional theory calculations are reported.Calix[4]pyrrole 1 can form host-guest complexes with certain thallium salts, for example, TlF, not only in the gas phase but also in solution and in the solid state. The complexation of TlF by calix[4]pyrrole 1 was found to promote self-assembly and the formation of well-defined and highly ordered fibrous supramolecular morphologies, as revealed by polarizing microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The findings reported here serve to broaden the scope of cationic substrates that may be complexed as ion pairs by calix[4]pyrrole receptors while setting the stage for the development of new hosts for thallium(I) salts.Cell membranes regulate the distribution of biological machinery between phase-separated lipid domains to facilitate key processes including signaling and transport, which are among the life-like functionalities that bottom-up synthetic biology aims to replicate in artificial-cellular systems. Here, we introduce a modular approach to program partitioning of amphiphilic DNA nanostructures in coexisting lipid domains. Exploiting the tendency of different hydrophobic "anchors" to enrich different phases, we modulate the lateral distribution of our devices by rationally combining hydrophobes and by changing nanostructure size and topology. We demonstrate the functionality of our strategy with a bioinspired DNA architecture, which dynamically undergoes ligand-induced reconfiguration to mediate cargo transport between domains via lateral redistribution. Our findings pave the way to next-generation biomimetic platforms for sensing, transduction, and communication in synthetic cellular systems.
