Computational studies of the structure were performed at the DFT/B3LYP/6-311++G(d) level of theory. Molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), Mulliken charge, IR-B3LYP, and structure optimization were performed. Full article

The absence of highly effective delivery systems is a major challenge for gene therapy. Our work was aimed at the development of novel cationic liposomes possessing high transfection efficiency. For this purpose, a novel disulfide polycationic amphiphile 2S4 was synthesized. Cationic liposomes based on 2S4 and a helper lipid DOPE were formed by the thin film hydration method and exhibited effective plasmid DNA delivery into the HEK293 cells, with a transfection activity superior to that of the commercial agent Lipofectamine® 2000. Our results suggest that the polycationic amphiphile 2S4 is a promising candidate for in vitro nucleic acid delivery. Full article

The synthesis of 3-[2-(oxiran-2-yl)ethyl]-1-{4-[(2-oxiran-2-yl)ethoxy]benzyl}imidazolium bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide was achieved in seven steps with an overall yield of 63%. This ionic liquid monomer is based on an imidazolium core containing a phenoxy moiety and aliphatic chains with a reactive epoxide at both ends. This imidazolium was obtained by an efficient, reproducible, and scalable synthesis from inexpensive reagents. In the last step, a powerful oxidative agent was successfully used to generate two epoxy functions with only acetone as a byproduct. The monomer structure and intermediates were analyzed by NMR experiments, infrared, and mass spectra. In addition, the thermal properties of the diepoxide were evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Full article

In this study, all four stereoisomers of tryptoline or tetrahydro-β-carboline were synthesized in high yields by the catalyst-free amidation of methyl ester using methylamine under mild conditions. All isomers of the obtained amide and the precursor methyl ester were subjected to cell viability measurements on HeLa cells. The results indicated that the stereochemistry of the derivatives is clearly related to cell viability. Full article
