RESUMEN
Indium-based metal-organic frameworks (In-MOFs) have now become an attractive class of porous solids in materials science and electrochemistry due to their diverse structures and promising applications. In the field of proton conduction, to find more crystalline MOFs with splendid proton-conductive properties, herein, five three-dimensional isostructural In-MOFs, MIL-68-In or MIL-68-In-X (X = NH2, OH, Br, or NO2) using terephthalic acid (H2BDC) or functionalized terephthalic acids (H2BDC-X) as multifunctional linkages were efficiently fabricated. First, the outstanding structural stability of the five MOFs, including thermal and water stability, was verified by thermal analysis and powder X-ray diffraction. Subsequently, the H2O-mediated proton conductivities (σ) were fully assessed and compared. Notably, their σ evinced a significant positive correlation between the temperature or relative humidity (RH) and varied with the functional groups on the organic ligands. Impressively, their highest σ values are up to 10-3-10-4 S/cm (100 °C/98% RH) and change in this order: MIL-68-In-OH (1.72 × 10-3 S/cm) > MIL-68-In-NH2 (1.70 × 10-3 S/cm) > MIL-68-In-NO2 (4.47 × 10-4 S/cm) > MIL-68-In-Br (4.11 × 10-4 S/cm) > MIL-68-In (2.37 × 10-4 S/cm). Finally, the computed activation energy values under 98 or 68% RHs are assessed, and the related proton conduction mechanisms are speculated. Moreover, after electrochemical testing, these MOFs illustrate remarkable structural rigidity, laying a meritorious material foundation for future applications.
RESUMEN
A new trifluoromethylsulfonate salt of 2-[(3-chloropyridinium-2-yl)hydrazonomethyl]-6-methoxyphenol, (HL)CF3SO3, and its copper(II) and cobalt(III) complexes, [CuL(OH2)]CF3SO3 · 0.5H2O (1) and [CoL2]CF3SO3 · CH3OH (2), were prepared and characterized by physico-chemical methods and single crystal X-ray analysis. A trifluoromethylsulfonate anion is present in each of the compounds. The Cu atom in complex 1 is coordinated by the phenolate O, imino N and pyridine N atoms of L ligand, giving square planar geometry. The Co atom in complex 2 is coordinated by two phenolate O, two imino N and two pyridine N atoms from two L ligands, giving octahedral geometry. The three compounds were tested in vitro for their antibacterial activities.

Recently, the utilization of hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) with high crystallinity and inherent well-defined H-bonding networks in the field of proton conduction has received increasing attention, but obtaining HOFs with excellent water stability and prominent proton conductivity (σ) remains challenging. Herein, by employing functionalized terephthalic acids, 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid, 2-hydroxyterephthalic acid, 2-nitro terephthalic acid, and terephthalic acid, respectively, four highly water-stable ionic HOFs (iHOFs), [(C8H5O6)(Me2NH2)]â2H2O (iHOF 1), [(C8H5O5)(Me2NH2)] (iHOF 2), [(C8H4NO6)(Me2NH2)] (iHOF 3) and [(C8H5O4)(Me2NH2)] (iHOF 4) were efficiently prepared by a straightforward synthesis approach in DMF and H2O solutions. The alternating-current (AC) impedance testing in humid conditions revealed that all four iHOFs were temperature- and humidity-dependent σ, with the greatest value reaching 10-2 S·cm-1. As expected, the high density of free carboxylic acid groups, crystallization water, and protonated [Me2NH2]+ units offer adequate protons and hydrophilic environments for effective proton transport. Furthermore, the σ values of these iHOFs with different functional groups were compared. It was discovered that it dropped in the following order under 100 °C and 98 % relative humidity (RH): σ iHOF 1 (1.72 × 10-2 S·cm-1) > σ iHOF 2 (4.03 × 10-3 S·cm-1) > σ iHOF 3 (1.46 × 10-3 S·cm-1) > σ iHOF 4 (4.86 × 10-4 S·cm-1). Finally, we investigated the causes of the above differences and the proton transport mechanism inside the framework using crystal structure data, water contact angle tests, and activation energy values. This study provides new motivation to develop highly proton-conductive materials.
RESUMEN
Considering the undesirable metabolic stability of our recently identified NNRTI 5 (t1/2 = 96 min) in human liver microsomes, we directed our efforts to improve its metabolic stability by introducing a new favorable hydroxymethyl side chain to the C-5 position of pyrimidine. This strategy provided a series of novel methylol-biphenyl-diarylpyrimidines with excellent anti-HIV-1 activity. The best compound 9g was endowed with remarkably improved metabolic stability in human liver microsomes (t1/2 = 2754 min), which was about 29-fold longer than that of 5 (t1/2 = 96 min). This compound conferred picomolar inhibition of WT HIV-1 (EC50 = 0.9 nmol/L) and low nanomolar activity against five clinically drug-resistant mutant strains. It maintained particularly low cytotoxicity (CC50 = 264 µmol/L) and good selectivity (SI = 256,438). Molecular docking studies revealed that compound 9g exhibited a more stable conformation than 5 due to the newly constructed hydrogen bond of the hydroxymethyl group with E138. Also, compound 9g was characterized by good safety profiles. It displayed no apparent inhibition of CYP enzymes and hERG. The acute toxicity assay did not cause death and pathological damage in mice at a single dose of 2 g/kg. These findings paved the way for the discovery and development of new-generation anti-HIV-1 drugs.
RESUMEN
To enhance the anti-resistance efficacy of our previously reported non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) 4, a series of novel biphenyl-DAPY derivatives were developed using the fragment-hopping strategy. Most of the compounds 8a-v exhibited remarkably improved anti-HIV-1 potency. The most active compound 8r proved to be exceptionally potent against the wild-type HIV-1 (EC50 = 2.3 nM) and five mutant strains, such as K103N (EC50 = 8 nM) and E138K (EC50 = 6 nM), significantly better than 4. The new DAPY analogue was 8-fold less cytotoxic and had a 17-fold higher selectivity index (CC50 = 40.77 µM, SI > 17391) than etravirine and rilpivirine. Also, it displayed favorable pharmacokinetic properties with an oral bioavailability of 31.19% and weak sensitivity toward both CYP and hERG. No apparent acute toxicity (2 g/kg) and tissue damage occurred. These findings will further expand the possibility of successfully identifying biphenyl-DAPY analogues as highly potent, safe, and orally active NNRTIs for HIV treatment.

X-ray analysis indicates that the Cu atom in complex 1 is in square planar coordination, and the Co atom in complex 2 is in octahedral coordination. The compounds were tested in vitro for their antibacterial activities on Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas fluorescens. Both complexes have effective activities on the bacteria.

A series of sulfonamides containing coumarin moieties had been prepared that showed a very interesting profile for the inhibition of two human carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. These compounds were evaluated for their ability to inhibit the enzymatic activity of the physiologically dominant isozymes hCA II and the tumor-associated isozyme hCA IX. The most potent inhibitor against hCA II and IX were compounds 5d (IC50 = 23 nM) and 5l (IC50 = 24 nM), respectively. These sulfonamides containing coumarin moieties may prove interesting lead candidates to target tumor-associated CA isozymes, wherein the CA domain is located extracellularly. Eighteen compounds were scrutinized by CoMFA and CoMSIA techniques of 3D quantitative structure-activity relationship. Nine of the compounds were evaluated for cytotoxicity against human macrophage.
