Recent Biomimetic and Organocatalytic Syntheses of ?-Tocopherol
We report here on our efforts to develop new strategies for the synthesis of ?-tocopherol, the biologically most significant member of the vitamin E family.

Straightforward synthesis of functionalized cyclic polymers in high yield via RAFT and thiolactone-disulfide chemistry [PDF]
An efficient synthetic pathway toward cyclic polymers based on the combination of thiolactone and disulfide chemistry has been developed. First, heterotelechelic linear polystyrene (PS) containing an alpha-thiolactone (TLa) and an omega-dithiobenzoate ...

The 1,2,3-triazole ring as a bioisostere in medicinal chemistry
1,2,3-Triazole is a well-known scaffold that has a widespread occurrence in different compounds characterized by several bioactivities, such as antimicrobial, antiviral, and antitumor effects. Moreover, the structural features of 1,2,3-triazole enable it to mimic different functional groups, justifying its wide use as a bioisostere for the synthesis of

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge
This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

DNA Damaging Agents in Chemical Biology and Cancer
Despite their toxicity, DNA alkylating drugs remain a cornerstone of anticancer therapy. The classical thinking was that rapidly dividing tumour cells left more of its DNA in an exposed single-stranded state, making these rapidly dividing cells more ...

Lithiation of 4-membered heterocycles as useful strategy for the preparation of new molecular scaffolds: addressing the regioselectivity in azetidines and thietanes [PDF]
Four-membered heterocycles (4-MH) with one or two heteroatoms are of great importance in medicinal chemistry and synthetic organic chemistry. This kind of scaffolds show peculiar structural features, related to the ring “puckering”, and biological ...

Jahn-Teller instability in C6H6+ and C6H6- revisited
The benzene cation (C6H6+) has a doublet (e_{1g}) ground state in hexagonal ring (D_{6h}) geometry. Therefore a Jahn-Teller (JT) distortion will lower the energy.

Analytical Formulas of Molecular Ion Abundances and N2H+ Ring in Protoplanetary Disks [PDF]
We investigate the chemistry of ion molecules in protoplanetary disks, motivated by the detection of N$_2$H$^+$ ring around TW Hya. While the ring inner radius coincides with the CO snow line, it is not apparent why N$_2$H$^+$ is abundant outside the CO ...

In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.
