Article Abstract
In order to find multifunction anticancer complexes, three Mn(II) complexes of N-substituted di(2-pyridylmethyl)amine were characterized and used as agents to interfere with the functions of mitochondria and the metabolite of O(2) in cancer cells. It was found that carboxylate-bridged dimanganese(II) systems are good models of catalase and exhibit good inhibition of the proliferation of U251 and HeLa cells. The inhibiting activity of these manganese(II) complexes on the tumor cells in vitro was related to their disproportionating H(2)O(2) activity. The reaction of carboxylate-bridged dimanganese Mn(II) complex with H(2)O(2) forms a stable Mn(III)-(μ-O)(2)-Mn(IV) complex. Extensive experimental results show that chloride-bridged dimanganese(II) complexes could inhibit the swelling of calcium(II) overloaded mitochondria, and carboxylate-bridged manganese(II) complexes enhance the swelling of calcium(II) overloaded mitochondria. These results indicate that the interactions between Mn(II) complexes of N-substituted di(picolyl)amine and mitochondria are influenced by the structure and conformation of the complexes. Mn(II) complexes of N-substituted di(picolyl)amine could be developed as multifunctional anticancer complexes to interfere with the absorption of calcium(II) in mitochondria and the metabolite of O(2) through the H(2)O(2) or ROS involved signaling induced apoptosis of cancer cells.

An iridium complex featuring the perfluorinated bisphosphine ligand dppe can catalyze intermolecular hydrocarbonation reactions of allenes with precise control over the selectivity to yield highly valuable branched products instead of the more common linear derivatives. Using N-substituted 3-carboxamide pyrroles as C─H donors, the reaction gives exclusively C-4 substituted products, while furan analogues yield C-2 substituted derivatives. β-Unsubstituted acrylamides can also be used as C─H sources to give chiral skipped dienes.

Ligand discovery of nonenzymatic proteins can be accomplished through screening methods utilizing libraries comprising small molecules, peptides, and peptidomimetics. Incorporating peptoids, which are oligomers of -substituted glycine monomers, into high-throughput screens can produce libraries of large structural diversity. Due to their malleable structures, peptoids can occupy unique protein binding sites, but determination of the peptoid binding pose is challenging.

We report a mild, metal-free synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted thiazoles from readily available N-substituted α-amino acids. The reaction proceeds via carboxylic acid activation with thionyl chloride, followed by intramolecular cyclization and in situ sulfoxide deoxygenation, affording the target thiazoles in excellent yields. This transition-metal-free, robust, and scalable protocol enables access to a broad range of 2,5-disubstituted thiazoles, bypassing the need for complex reagents and significantly simplifying their synthesis.

Peptoids (N-substituted glycine oligomers) represent an excellent platform for drug development, such as selective chelators for Cu ions towards chelation therapy, due to their efficient synthesis, high stability and good bioavailability. We previously showed that peptoids helicity is essential for selective Cu binding and identified a unique peptoid hexamer, having 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine, and 8-hydroxyquinoline as metal-binding sidechains facing the same side of the helix, which exhibits high selectivity to Cu ions. However, maintaining a stable helix required the incorporation of bulky chiral sidechains, resulting in a hydrophobic peptoid, insoluble in aqueous solutions, and limited in its use as a drug candidate.
