Abstract:
Protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B (PTP1B), a negative regulatory factor of insulin signaling, is recognized as a potent target for the therapy of diabetes. Aimed to provide new scaffold to the development of PTP1B inhibitors and disclose the relationship between configurations of certain positions (3, 4, 5, 6 and 23-position) on the steroidal skeleton and inhibitory activities against PTP1B, a class of lithocholic acid (LCA) mimics were designed and synthesized. In vitro bioassay against PTP1B showed that 3β-hydroxy-4-ene-cholanic acid (17) and 4, 4-dimethyl-3β-hydroxy-5-ene-cholanic acid (19) had activities higher than LCA, reaching (8.50±1.21) and (6.27±1.03) μmol·L-1, respectively. Docking analysis of compounds 17 and 19 illuminated the binding modes to PTP1B. This study provided compounds with new scaffold and valuable structure-activity-relationship (SAR) information for the further study of PTP1B inhibitors.

Abstract:
13 New thiophene formyl thiourea derivatives were synthesized via cycloaddition reaction of 3-mercaptobutan-2-one and methyl 3-(substitutedsilyl) propiolate, selective hydrolysis of ester, isothiocyanatation and amination. Their chemical structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and elemental analysis. The inhibitory activity against Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici and Rhizoctonia solani was evaluated in vitro by the plate method. The results indicated that most of thiophene formyl thiourea derivatives showed some inhibitory activity against gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici. Compound 1-cyclopropyl-3-(4, 5-dimethylthiophene-3-carbonyl) thiourea (8c) gave the best performance and its inhibitory activity was close to the control level of silthiopham in the concentration of 10 mg/L. The structure analysis showed that the steric hindrance of functional group at the second position of the thiophene formyl thioureas had no obvious effect on the inhibitory activity against gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici.

Abstract:
A high selective fluorescent probe 4 for cyanides was developed based on the Sonogashira reaction between N-butyl-4-bromo-1, 8-naphthalimide and 2-ethynylbenzaldehyde. In CH3CN solution, the probe 4 shows moderate colorimetric and fluorescent response to the cyanides. Upon the addition of TBACN, a new peak at 540 nm appeared in the UV-vis spectra accompanied by an instant colorimetric change from colorless to light violet. No change in the spectral pattern of chemosensor 4 was observed in the presence of other anions. Further, chemosensor 4 showed strong fluorescence with the maximum at 484 nm (λex=390 nm) in a mixture of CH3CN; however, in presence of CN-, a new emission band (λem=600 nm, light brown fluo-rescence) appeared along with a decrease in the emission intensity at 484 nm. Therefore, this process clearly demonstrates that chemosensor 4 can selectively detect cyanide ions by a fluorogenic "on-off" response, which may be attributed to the fact that the electron transfer in 1, 8-naphthalimide is affected by the formation of adducts of anion with carbonyl groups. Moreover, the detailed interference experiments of chemosensor 4 in the mixed solvents were also investigated.

Abstract:
CO releasing molecules (CORMs) of transition metal carbonyl complexes are emerging as a new interdisciplinary advance of inorganic chemistry, biological medicine and materials chemistry. In this paper, new ionic Fischer carbene carbonyl complexes were devised, in which Cr, Mo and W metals as metallic center carried five CO whilst the quaternary ammonium finely tuned the water solubility of Fc-CORMs. The myoglobin assays showed that one Fc-CORM released at least two molecules of carbon monoxide in well-controlled fashion under physiological conditions. The structure-releasing correlation revealed that the central metal was the key factor governing their carbon monoxide release behavior. The CO release rate of Fc-CORM-Mo (2a~2e) is quicker than Fc-CORM-Cr (1a~1e), much faster than Fc-CORM-W (3a~3e). The antibacterial activity test found that Fc-CORM (1b) with medium CO release rate effectively inhibited the growth and survival of Escherichia coli, with an minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 30 μmol/L. As for drug-resistant bacteria, Fc-CORM (2a~2e) and Fc-CORM (3a~3e) showed bactericidal activity. Mechanism study indicated that the antibacterial activity relied on the CO release rate of Fc-CORMs.

Abstract:
In order to systematic study the biological effects of isonucleoside incorporated oligonucleotides, an efficient synthetic process for iso-L-cystidine was investigated in present paper. Using L-ribose as starting material, iso-L-cystidine was obtained in 9 steps and 28.5% overall yield. The key step was the regioselective nucleophilic substitution of 5-O-triphenylmethane-2, 3-O-cyclic sulfate with uracil. After extensive optimization, it was found that using cesium carbonate as base can improve significantly the N-1 glycosidic bond formation and reduce the side reactions. At the same time, a N-1, N-3 doublic 1-deoxyribose substituted iso-L-uridine was identified for the first time. The present reported synthetic process has the merits of mild reaction conditions, easy purified intermediates and high overall yield, which could be used as a general synthetic approach for the preparation other related isonucleoside.

Abstract:
As an important ubiquitin-like modifier protein in eukaryotic organisms, NEDD8 (neural precursor cell expressed developmentally down-regulated 8) is involved in regulating a series of important life processes in cells. Nowadays, the major method for obtaining NEDD8 is recombinant protein expression. However, the yield is relatively low and the recombined tag for purification needs to be removed in an extra step. In present work, NEDD8 protein was first synthesized in homogeneity by using high temperature assisted solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) combining with the one-pot ligation-desulfurization strategy. This method lays the foundation for the study of NEDD8 modified proteins in future.
