The stem cell factor receptor, KIT, is a target for the treatment of cancer, mastocytosis, and inflammatory diseases. Here, we characterise in vitro vivo profiles masitinib (AB1010), novel phenylaminothiazole-type tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets KIT.In vitro, had greater activity selectivity against KIT than imatinib, inhibiting recombinant human wild-type with an half inhibitory concentration (IC(50)) 200+/-40 nM blocking factor-induced proliferation phosphorylation IC(50) 150+/-80...
Iodobenzene diacetate in MeOH containing a catalytic amount of TFA efficiently oxidizes aldoximes to nitrile oxides. The latter may be trapped situ with olefins bimolecular or an intramolecular mode. new method enables the execution tandem oxidative dearomatization phenols/intramolecular oxide cycloaddition sequences leading useful synthetic intermediates.

This contribution highlights representative reactions, reagent/catalyst design, mechanistic aspects reported transformations.
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are currently the most effective in vivo delivery systems for silencing target genes hepatocytes employing small interfering RNA. Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) also potential targets LNP siRNA. We examined uptake, intracellular trafficking, and gene potency primary bone marrow macrophages (bmMΦ) dendritic of siRNA formulated LNPs containing four different ionizable cationic lipids namely DLinDAP, DLinDMA, DLinK-DMA, DLinKC2-DMA. DLinKC2-DMA were potent...
A solution to the long-standing problem presented by oxidative cyclization of a phenolic 3-arylpropionamide spirolactam has been developed in this laboratory via oxazoline chemistry. This research was motivated our interest some novel tricyclic azaspirane natural products formally derived from tyrosine, such as FR901483 and TAN1251C. In paper, we disclose full details total synthesis these substances.
A common intermediate was used in the total syntheses of (−)-cylindricine C and (−)-2-epicylindricine (see picture) a process that involves initial oxidative spirocyclization phenolic sulfonamide. The remainder molecules is constructed through interesting sulfonamide chemistry.

The androgen receptor (AR) plays a critical role in the progression of prostate cancer. Silencing this protein using short-hairpin RNA (shRNA) has been correlated with tumor growth inhibition and decreases serum specific antigen (PSA). In our study, we have investigated ability lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations small-interfering (siRNA) to silence AR human cell lines vitro LNCaP xenograft tumors following intravenous (i.v.) injection. screening studies panel cationic lipids showed that...
Abstract Successfully employing small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapeutics requires the use of nanotechnology for efficient intracellular delivery. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have enabled approval various nucleic acid therapeutics. A major advantage LNPs is interchangeability its building blocks and payload, which allow it to be a highly modular system. In addition, drug derivatization approaches can used synthesize lipophilic molecule prodrugs that stably incorporate in LNPs. This provides...
The furan nucleus may be considered as a latent 1,4-dicarbonyl group. Expression of this functional equivalence within generic 2-furylamide results in formation nitrogen heterocycles reaction that termed the "Aza-Achmatowicz rearrangement", by analogy with similar transformations furylcarbinols. Aza-Achmatowicz products created enantioselective form chemoenzymatic methods, and are useful intermediates synthesis novel carbacephems, unusual aminoacids, azasaccharides, piperidine izidine...
The oxidative cyclization of a phenolic amide to spirolactam has long been regarded as an "impossible" reaction, because exposure the substrates variety oxidants results in formation spirolactones with consequent loss amine segment. We recently communicated that this heretofore unknown transformation may be achieved by oxidation oxazoline analogues and indolic amides. Herein, we provide full details our work.
