The Design And Synthesis Of A Photo-Controlled, Peptide-Based Potential Drug Carrier, Melek Parlak Khali̇ly, Sali̇h Özçubukçu

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Our focus in this study is on the design and synthesis of a light-responsive peptide-based nanocarrier in order to develop effective and biocompatible drug delivery systems. The synthesized nanocarrier is basically composed of peptide amphiphiles comprising a micelle forming a Pro-Pro-Pro-Lys-Lys-Lys peptide sequence with an attached anthracene fluorophore. Anthracene containing an inner core of the micelle can serve as a storage site for poorly water-soluble drugs. Moreover, anthracenes that come in close proximity with the formation of micellar structures can undergo photodimerization upon irradiation at 365 nm, which disrupts the micelle structures formed by the self-assembly of the peptide amphiphiles. …

Synthesis, Spectroscopic Characterization, And Computational Studies Of 2-Cyano-6-Hydroxybenzothiazole: A Key Synthetic Intermediate Of Firefly Luciferin, Ghasem Shahmoradi, Saeid Amani

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Firefly luciferin is widely applied as a biotechnological tool for visualizing various biological processes in vitro and in vivo. Chemically, 2-cyano-6-hydroxybenzothiazole, as a key synthetic intermediate of firefly luciferin, is obtained from 2-cyano-6-methoxybenzothiazole by changing the methoxy with a hydroxy group. However, this approach is costly and not suited for large-scale synthesis. Here we report cost-effective and efficient syntheses of 2-cyano-6-hydroxybenzothiazole through the catalytic Sandmeyer-type cyanation reaction. Our approach employs diazonium tetrafluoroborate salt of 2-amino-6-hydroxybenzothiazole as a cyanation substrate. The cyanation reaction proceeds efficiently under mild conditions by using Cu(I)/Cu(II)/N,N,N\textquotesingle,N\textquotesingle-tetramethylethylenediamine as a catalyst. In addition, computational studies of the 2-cyano-6-hydroxybenzothiazole …

A series of new extensively conjugated $E$-stilbene azomethines (5a-5h) were synthesized and screened for their antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. The compounds were tested against bacterial (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Bacillus subtilis) and fungal strains (Aspergillus niger, A. flavus, and Trichoderma harzianum) using the agar well diffusion method. Among the tested compounds, $N$'-(4-nitrobenzylidene)-2-(($E)$-styryl)benzohydrazide (5g) was found to possess potent antimicrobial activity higher than some drugs with significant activity reported in the literature, e.g., cefradine and terbinafine hydrochloride. Additionally, compounds 5a-5h were also evaluated for antioxidant potential using DPPH free radical scavenging and ferric thiocyanate (FTC) assays. Among these, …

The partial substitution of potassium atoms by strontium atoms in initial matrix K$_{3}$Fe$_{2}$(PO$_{4})_{3}$ with formation of complex phosphates K$_{3-2x}$Sr$_{x}$Fe$_{2}$(PO$_{4})_{3}$ ($x =$ 0.75, 1.0, and 1.25) was determined using a solid-state reaction method. According to powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) data, the prepared phosphates with $x =$ 1.0 and 1.25 crystallize in a cubic system (space group ${P2}_{1}$3) and belong to langbeinite family compounds, while for the sample with $x =$ 0.75 a mixture of langbeinite-type phase and a minor amount of K$_{3}$Fe$_{2}$(PO$_{4})_{3}$ was obtained. The decreasing trend of lattice parameter $a$ with increase of Sr amount in the phosphate confirmed the …
