Abstract

Tyrosine phosphatase STEP (striatal-enriched tyrosine protein phosphatase) is a brain-specific protein phosphatase and is involved in the pathogenesis of many neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we examined the impact of STEP on the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD)-like pathology in senescence-accelerated OXYS rats. Using OXYS and Wistar rats (control), we for the first time demonstrated age-dependent changes in Ptpn5 mRNA expression, STEP46 and STEP61 protein levels, and their phosphatase activity in the retina. The increases in STEP protein levels and the decrease of total and STEP phosphatase activities in the retina (as compared with Wistar rats) preceded the manifestation of clinical signs of AMD in OXYS rats (age 20 days). There were no differences in these retinal parameters between 13-month-old Wistar rats and OXYS rats with pronounced signs of AMD. Inhibition of STEP with TC-2153 during progressive AMD-like retinopathy (from 9 to 13 months of age) reduced the thickness of the retinal inner nuclear layer, as evidenced by a decreased amount of parvalbumin-positive amacrine neurons. Prolonged treatment with TC-2153 had no effect on Ptpn5 mRNA expression, STEP46 and STEP61 protein levels, and their phosphatase activity in the OXYS retina. Thus, TC-2153 may negatively affect the retina through mechanisms unrelated to STEP. View Full-Text

Multiquantum Counting of Trityl Radicals

J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 2020, 11, 15, 6286–6290
Publication Date:July 15, 2020

Abstract

We demonstrate a series of multitrityl radical compounds where accurate spin-counting by pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) can be achieved at X-band (9 GHz) frequencies, even for molecules with very short and flexible linkers. Multiquantum filter experiments, well-known from NMR, were used to count the number of coupled electron spins in these compounds. The six pulse double quantum filter sequence used in EPR for distance determinations in biradicals was used. Precise phase settings to separate higher quantum coherences were achieved by an arbitrary waveform generator. The trityl radicals have narrow spectral width so that homogeneous excitation of all spins by the pulses is possible. The transversal relaxation times of higher quantum coherences of trityl radicals are sufficiently long to allow their detection. Our results on model compounds show the potential of this approach to determine oligomeric states in protein complexes in their native environment using functionalized trityl spin labels.

Lewis Ambiphilicity of 1,2,5-Chalcogenadiazoles for Crystal Engineering: Complexes with Crown Ethers

Cryst. Growth Des. 2020, 20, 9, 5868–5879
Publication Date:July 13, 2020

Abstract

The cocrystallization of 1,2,5-chalcogenadiazoles (chalcogen E = S, Se, and Te) with cyclic polyethers 18-crown-6 (18-c-6) and dibenzo-18-crown-6 (db-18-c-6) yielded the molecular complexes characterized by X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetry/differential scanning calorimetry techniques together with density functional theory (DFT) calculations and quantum theory of atoms in molecule and natural bond orbitals analysis. The complexes are bound by multiple secondary bonding interactions, the most important of which reflects the Lewis ambiphilicity of 1,2,5-chalcogenadiazoles and includes charge transfer from O atoms of the ethers onto E atoms of the chalcogenadiazoles (i.e., chalcogen bonding), and the back-donation from E to O. For complexes of 18-c-6, the DFT-calculated energies of bonding interactions correlate with the melting temperatures of the complexes, as well as with the atomic number of E and the size of the E-associated σ-holes but not with the maximum of molecular electrostatic potential at the σ-holes. Taking into account the previous results, the Lewis ambiphilicity of 1,2,5-chalcogenadiazoles may be used for applications in crystal engineering.

Achieving strictly linear polyethylenes by the NNN‐Fe precatalysts finely tuned with different sizes of ortho‐cycloalkyl substituents

Applied Organometallic Chemistry

Abstract

Six examples of newly synthesized α,α’‐bis (aryl)‐2,3:5,6‐bis (pentame thylene)pyridyliron complexes [2,3:5,6‐{C₄H₈C(NAr)}₂C₅HN]FeCl₂ (Ar = 2‐(c‐C₅H₉)‐6‐MeC₆H₃ Fe1 , 2‐(c‐C₆H₁₁)‐6‐MeC₆H₃ Fe2 , 2‐(c‐C₈H₁₅)‐6‐MeC₆H₃ Fe3 , 2‐(c‐C₅H₉)‐4,6‐Me₂C₆H₂ Fe4 , 2‐(c‐C₆H₁₁)‐4,6‐Me₂C₆H₂ Fe5 , 2‐(c‐C₈H₁₅)‐4,6‐Me₂C₆H₂ Fe6 ; c refers as cyclic), on activation with methylalumoxane (MAO) or modified MAO (MMAO), exhibit high activities towards ethylene polymerization, producing strictly linear polyethylenes with terminal vinyl groups. The catalytic performances are systematically investigated along with various polymerization parameters as well as the microstructures of resultant polyethylenes. The steric hindrances of ortho‐cycloalkyl substituents of N_imino‐aryl groups significantly affect the activities of the corresponding iron precatalysts as well as the microstructures of resultant polyethylenes: higher steric hindrance the ortho‐cycloalkyl substituents, higher activity the iron precatalyst, lower molecular weight the resultant polyethylenes. Experimental observations are additionally supported by the computational study. The resultant polyethylenes exhibited excellent hydrophobicity.

Abstract

Nitroxide-mediated polymerization is now a mature technique, at 35 years of age. During this time, several variants have been developed: electron spin capture polymerization (ESCP), photoNMP (NMP2), chemically initiated NMP (CI-NMP), spin label NMP (SL-NMP), and plasmon-initiated NMP (PI-NMP). This mini-review is devoted to the features and applications of these variants.

2-((9H-fluoren-9-ylidene)methyl)pyridine as a new functional block for aggregation induced emissive and stimuli-responsive materials

Abstract

Highly-emissive mechanofluorochromic (MFC) organic solids changing their emission colors upon exposure to mechanical stimuli are highly demanded for various practical applications. In this work we introduced a planarizable by intramolecular N⋯H bond 2-((9H-fluoren-9-ylidene)methyl)pyridine fragment featuring an Aggregation-Induced Emission Enhancement and, particularly, MFC property for its bithiophene derivative. A two compounds, 2-((9H-fluoren-9-ylidene)methyl)-5-(5-phenylthiophen-2-yl)pyridine (FTP) and 2-((9H-fluoren-9-ylidene)methyl)-5-([2,2′-bithiophen]-5-yl)pyridine (FTT) were synthesized and fully characterized. In liquid solution both compounds are low emissive, however in the solid state they exhibit the photoluminescence quantum yield of 33% and 13% for FTP and FTT, respectively. Remarkably, the powder of FTT demonstrates a self-reversible mechanofluorochromism: the emission spectrum red-shifts after the grinding or pressurization and it recovers during one-day of storage without any treatment. The powder X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry revealed the reversible phase transition under temperature and mechanic stimuli. Analysis of molecular structure shows that in the gas phase FTT has a planar geometry while in the solid state it loses the flatness due to the crystal environment. Our results speak in favor of the increase of FTT planarity under the pressure to be responsible for the observed mechanofluorochromism.

Abstract

Pyrene‐based cyclophanes have been synthesized with the aim to realize a bellows‐type sensing mechanism for the ratiometric detection of nucleotide concentrations in a buffered aqueous solution. The sensing mechanism involves the encapsulation of a nucleobase between two pyrene rings, which affects the monomer‐excimer equilibrium of the receptor in the excited state. The nature of the spacer and its connection pattern to pyrene rings have been varied to achieve high selectivity for ATP. The 1,8‐substituted pyrene‐based cyclophane with the 2,2′‐diaminodiethylamine spacer demonstrates the best selectivity for ATP showing a 50‐fold increase in the monomer‐excimer emission ratio upon saturation with the nucleotide. The receptor can detect ATP within the biological concentrations range over a wide pH range. NMR and spectroscopic studies have revealed the importance of hydrogen bonding and stacking interactions for achieving a required receptor selectivity. The probe has been successfully applied for the real‐time monitoring of creatine kinase activity.

Optical uncaging of ADP reveals the early calcium dynamics in single, freely moving platelets

Abstract

Platelet activation is considered to be a cornerstone in pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. The assessment of platelet activation at the single-cell level is a promising approach for the research of platelet function in physiological and pathological conditions. Previous studies used the immobilization of platelets on the surface, which significantly alters the activation signaling. Here we show that the use of photolabile “caged” analog of ADP allows one to track the very early stage of platelet activation in single, freely moving cells. In this approach, the diffusion step and ADP receptor ligation are separated in time, and a millisecond-timescale optical pulse may trigger the activation. The technique allows us to measure the delay (lag time) between the stimulus and calcium response in platelets. We also propose a simple model function for calcium peaks, which is in good agreement with the measured data. The proposed technique and model function can be used for in-depth studies of platelet physiology.

Luminescent Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes with chiral 2,2′-bipyridine ligands bearing natural monoterpene groups: synthesis, speciation in solution and photophysics

Abstract

Mononuclear zinc(II) and cadmium(II) complexes, ZnLCl₂ (1), CdLCl₂ (2), ZnL¹Cl₂·2H₂O (3), and CdL¹Cl₂·2H₂O (4), with chiral ligands containing a 2,2′-bipyridine moiety and natural terpene (+)-limonene (L) or (+)-3-carene (L¹) moieties were synthesized. In these complexes the L and L¹ ligands are shown to coordinate Zn²⁺ and Cd²⁺ ions through the 2,2′-bipyridine moiety. The acetamide group of the ligands interacts with M²⁺ ions by forming N⋯M>²⁺> and CO⋯M²⁺contacts and N–H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds with coordinated Cl⁻ ions. In solutions the complexes have several conformers differing by the degree of the turn of the acetamide moiety relative to the ligand core and the type of its interaction with the coordination core. The ligands and complexes exhibit luminescence with the quantum yield increasing in the order: ligand < cadmium(II) complex < zinc(II) complex. The complexes 3 and 4 demostrate excitation wavelength independent single-channel fluorescence. As opposed to 3 and 4, the complexes 1 and 2 demonstrate excitation wavelength dependent emission with nanosecond and microsecond lifetimes of the excited states. According to our TD-DFT calculations, an interplay of ligand centered and halide to ligand transitions facilitates two deactivation channels in 1 and 2: S₁–S₀ and T₁–S₀.
