Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkane thiols on gold and other metals are versatile constructs with which to study interfacial phenomena reactions at surfaces. Surface properties SAMs - e.g., wettability, stability in diverse environments, propensity interact or resist adsorption macromolecules -- depend can be controlled flexibly by the functional (head) groups w position alkyl chain. provide a basis for many important scientific technological applications, ranging from micropatterning...

Methylene-bridged glycoluril dimers are the fundamental building blocks of cucurbituril (CB[6]), its homologues (CB[n]), and derivatives. This paper describes three complementary methods for synthesis C- S-shaped methylene-bridged (29−34 37−44). For this purpose, we prepared derivatives (1a−d) bearing diverse functionalities on their convex face. These were alkylated under basic conditions (DMSO, t-BuOK) with 1,2-bis(halomethyl)aromatics 6−15 to yield 4a−d 16−24, which contain a single...

Dengue virus (DENV) causes 390 million infections per year. Infections can be asymptomatic or range from mild fever to severe haemorrhagic and shock syndrome. Currently, no effective antivirals safe universal vaccine is available. In the present work we tested different gold nanoparticles (AuNP) coated with ligands ω-terminated sugars bearing multiple sulfonate groups. We aimed identify compounds antiviral properties due irreversible (virucidal) rather than reversible (virustatic)...

A novel Cas13d-based gene-editing approach has been developed to target viral RNAs in infected cells, reducing the replication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and Zika virus (ZIKV) by up 90% compared with controls. Despite its potential, use Cas13d as an antiviral faces several challenges that limit effectiveness before reaching cells. This study presents a proof-of-concept strategy for constructing gold nanoparticles (Au_NPs) destroy SARS-CoV-2 ZIKV genomes...
