RESUMO

GPI-anchored folate receptor α (FRα) is an attractive anticancer drug target and diagnosis marker in fundamental biology and medical research due to its significant expression on many cancer cells. Currently, analyses of FRα expression levels are usually achieved using immunological methods. Due to the continual FRα synthesis and degradation, immunological methods are not suitable for studying real-time dynamic activities of FRα in living cells. In this paper, we introduce a rapid and specific FRα protein-labeling fluorescent probe, FR1, to facilitate the study of the dynamics of expression and degradation processes of endogenous FRα in living cells. With this labeling probe, insights on FRα protein lifetime and shedding from the cell surface can be obtained using fluorescence live-cell imaging and electrophoresis techniques. We revealed that FRα undergoes soluble domain release and endocytosis degradation simultaneously. Imaging results showed that most of the membrane FRα are transported to the lysosomes after 2 h of incubation. Furthermore, we also showed that the secretion of a FRα soluble domain into the environment is most likely accomplished by phospholipase. We believe that this protein-labeling approach can be an important tool for analyzing various dynamic processes involving FRα.

RESUMO

The modern world has no available drugs for the treatment of enteroviruses (EV), which affect millions of people worldwide each year. The EV71 is a major causative disease for hand, foot, and mouth disease; sometimes it is associated with severe central nervous system diseases. Treatment for enteroviral infection is mainly supportive; treatment for aseptic meningitis caused by enteroviruses is also generally symptomatic. Upon the urgent request of new anti-enterovirus drugs, a series of hinged aromatic compounds with polynulei were synthesized through two different chemical pathways. Among these morpholine-furan/thiophene/pyrrole-benzene-pyrazole conjugates, three new agents exhibited inhibitory activity with EC50 = 2.29-6.16 µM toward EV71 strain BrCr in RD cells. Their selectivity index values were reached as high as 33.4. Their structure-activity relationship was deduced that a thiophene derivative with morpholine and trifluorobenzene rings showed the greatest antiviral activity, with EC50 = 2.29 µM.

RESUMO

A three-component annulation reaction was developed for the synthesis of pyrroles, a class of compounds with various properties valuable to biomedical and polymer industries. Treatment of α-silylaryl triflates, Schiff bases, and alkynes generated polysubstituted pyrroles in good yields (61-86%) with regioselectivity. This domino reaction involved completion of five sequential steps in a single flask, which comprised aryne formation through 1,2-elimination, their alkylation by Schiff bases through 1,2-addition, 1,4-intramolecular proton transfer, Hüisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, and dehydrogenative aromatization. It was then successfully applied as the key step in the synthesis of the natural product lamellarin R. This new reaction represents an efficient, sustainable process for the production of chemical materials.
