Target immobilization on glass microfiber membranes as a label-free strategy for hit identification
Anal Bioanal Chem. 2023 Sep 21. doi: 10.1007/s00216-023-04951-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe discovery of novel chemical entities targeting G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is usually guided by their receptor affinity. However, traditional affinity assay methods and hit identification procedures are usually laborious and expensive. In this work, the type-2 vasopressin receptor (V2R) was chosen as a prototypical GPCR. Membrane fragments from cells highly expressing SNAP-V2R were immobilized on the surface of a glass microfiber (GMF) coated with O6-benzylguanine (BG). This was achieved by transferring the benzyl gro...

Investigation on Cr(VI)-bioreduction mechanism and reduction products by a novel Microbacterium sp. strain NEAU-W11
In this study, a novel Cr(VI)-reducing strain, Microbacterium sp. NEAU-W11, was reported, and its reduction mechanism was investigated. Microbacterium sp. NEAU-W11 could effectively degrade Cr(VI) under the conditions of pH 7-10, 15-35 °C, and the coexistence of metal pollutants such as Pb and Ni, etc. In addition, both Fe3+ and Cu2+ could improve the reducing ability of strain NEAU-W11, and glucose and lactose as electron donors also had promoting effect. Heat treatment of resting cells confirmed that chromium removal was not biological sorption but biological reduction. The active reductase of strain NEAU-W11 to chromiu...

Performance of volatile fatty acids production from food waste at the presence of alkyl ethoxy polyglycosides and sodium dodecyl sulfate
This study investigated the performance of VFAs production from food waste at the presence of alkyl ethoxy polyglycosides (AEG) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The highest yield of VFAs was obtained at 0.1 g AEG/g TS (14.53 g COD/L), which increased by 25.80% than the Blank. But inhibited phenomenon was observed at other reactors with relatively low yield and delayed fermentation time. The inhibition of lactate's production and bioconversion delayed the fermentation time, and SDS has changed the acidogenic fermentation type from lactate-butyrate fermentation to acetate fermentation. In addition, more organic matter disso...

Biochem J. 2023 Sep 27;480(18):1445-1457. doi: 10.1042/BCJ20220309.ABSTRACTMulticellular organisms require carefully orchestrated communication between and within cell types and tissues, and many unicellular organisms also sense their context and environment, sometimes coordinating their responses. This review highlights contributions from chemical biology in discovering and probing mechanisms of cell-cell communication. We focus on chemical tools for labelling proteins in a cellular context and how these can be applied to decipher the target receptor of a signalling molecule, label a receptor of interest in situ to unders...

Design and Synthesis of a Library of C2-Substituted Sulfamidoadenosines to Probe Bacterial Permeability
Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2023 Sep 19:129486. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2023.129486. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAntibiotic resistance is a major threat to public health, and Gram-negative bacteria pose a particular challenge due to their combination of a low permeability cell envelope and efflux pumps. Our limited understanding of the chemical rules for overcoming these barriers represents a major obstacle in antibacterial drug discovery. Several recent efforts to address this problem have involved screening compound libraries for accumulation in bacteria in order to understand the structural properties required for Gram-negative...

Galantamine-memantine hybrids for Alzheimer's disease: The influence of linker rigidity in biological activity and pharmacokinetic properties
Eur J Med Chem. 2023 Sep 12;261:115803. doi: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2023.115803. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeurodegenerative processes characterizing Alzheimer's disease (AD) are strictly related to the impairment of cholinergic and glutamatergic neurotransmitter systems which provoke synaptic loss. These experimental evidences still represent the foundation of the actual standard-of-care treatment for AD, albeit palliative, consisting on the coadministration of an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and the NMDAR antagonist memantine. In looking for more effective treatments, we previously developed a series of galantamine-meman...

Carbon-Based Electron Buffer Layer on ZnOx-Fe5C2-Fe3O4 Boosts Ethanol Synthesis from CO2 Hydrogenation
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2023 Sep 21:e202311786. doi: 10.1002/anie.202311786. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe conversion of CO2 into ethanol with renewable H2 has attracted tremendous attention due to its integrated functions of carbon elimination and chemical synthesis, but still being challenging. The electronic property of catalyst is essential to determine the adsorption strength and configuration of the key intermediates, therefore altering the reaction network for targeted synthesis. Here, a carbon buffer layer is employed to tailor the electronic property of the ternary ZnOx-Fe5C2-Fe3O4, in which the electron trans...

Organocatalytic C-H Functionalization of Simple Alkanes
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2023 Sep 20:e202310072. doi: 10.1002/anie.202310072. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe direct functionalization of inert C(sp3)-H bonds to form carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds offers vast potential for chemical synthesis and therefore receives intense attention. At present, most successes come from strategies using metal catalysts/reagents or photo/electrochemical processes. The use of organocatalysis for this purpose remains very limited or even unexplored especially when dealing with challenging C-H bonds such as those from simple alkanes. Here we disclose the first organocatalytic direc...
