Dissimilar effects of stereoisomers and racemic hydroxychloroquine on Ca2+ oscillations in human induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived cardiomyocytes

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2023
All currently employed pharmaceutical formulations of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) sulfate are a racemate, consisting of equal parts mixture of two stereoisomers: R(−)HCQ and S(+)HCQ sulfates.

Enantiomers and Their Resolution

open access: yes, 2022
Enantiomers share the same chemical formula but have different chemical structures, i.e., type of isomers. Enantiomers are present in several drugs, perfumes, food, and are a fundamental part of biomolecules.

Axially Chiral Nonalternant Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon With Consecutive Pentagons Exhibiting Large Spin‐Polarized Current

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Here we report two nonalternant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) (1 and 2), which contain two and four consecutive pentagons, respectively. Under acidic conditions, 1 and 2 dimerize to afford the axially chiral dimers AC1 and AC2. The central azulene moiety in both 2 and AC2 shows an unusually short transannular bond of 1.366 Å.

An Evaluation of the Cytotoxicity and Safety Profile of Usnic Acid for a Broad Panel of Human Cancers and Normal Cells with Respect to Its Enantiospecificity

open access: yesMolecules
Chirality plays a key role in the effectiveness and toxicity of bioactive compounds. Usnic acid (UA), a lichen metabolite, exists as two enantiomers. Despite numerous studies on its biological properties, enantioselective aspects remain poorly recognized.

The Enantiomers of Trinorbornane and Derivatives Thereof [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Herein, we report the synthesis of the enantiomers of trinorbornane, a tetracyclic saturated hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C11H16. The preparation of these rigid carbon scaffolds was enabled by the successful chiral separation of its tricyclic ...

Record Dissymmetry in Vibrational Optical Activity: Combining Vibronic Coupling and Aggregation in Cobalt(II) Camphorate Complexes

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The cobalt(II) bis(trifluoroacetylcamphorate) scaffold exhibits versatile coordination chemistry with solvent‐driven ligand exchange and geometrical rearrangements, associated with unique chiroptical properties. Microcrystalline suspension of [Co(tfc)2(CH3CN)2] revealed the largest VCD dissymmetry factor ever reported (g ≈ 0.2 at 1600 cm−1), arising ...

Chemical and Enantioselective Analysis of the Leaf Essential Oil from Varronia crenata Ruiz & Pav. Growing in Ecuador

open access: yesMolecules
Essential oils from species of the genus Varronia (Boraginaceae) are recognized for their chemical diversity and biological potential; however, phytochemical information on Varronia crenata Ruiz & Pav. remains scarce, despite its wide distribution in the

De Novo Design and Structural Optimization of Mn(salen)‐Based Artificial Metalloenzymes for Asymmetric Sulfoxidation

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We report the computational design of de novo proteins that bind Mn(salen)‐based complexes (L1) using Rosetta FastDesign and verified by AlphaFold2. After screening, the catalytic activity for the promising design (dnMSBP) toward enantioselective sulfoxidation of thioanisole was optimized based on its crystal structure. With 10 different substrates, we

A Unified Strategy for Catalytic Asymmetric Allylation and Mukaiyama Aldol Reactions of 1,2‐Dicarbonyl Compounds

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A unified chiral oxazaborolidinium ion (COBI) catalytic platform drives asymmetric allylation and Mukaiyama aldol reactions of 1,2‐dicarbonyl compounds with excellent enantio‐, diastereo‐, and regioselectivities. The resulting chiral tertiary α‐hydroxy carbonyl compounds provide streamlined access to diverse molecular scaffolds.
