In this work, the synthesis of polypeptoid-block-polypeptide copolymers (block copolypept(o)ides) based on bifunctional initiators is described, which introduces a distinct chemical entity at the connection between both blocks. With a view towards redox-sensitive block copolypept(o)ides, a cystamine-based initiator was used

Several iron chelators containing alpha,beta-unsaturated hydroxamic acid motifs appended to a citric acid platform were synthesized. Mycobacterium paratuberculosis was then challenged to grow in the presence of a panel of siderophores (mycobactin J, deferrioxamine B, acinetoferrin, and nannochelin A) and

As regulators of transcription, epigenetic proteins that interpret post-translational modifications to N-terminal histone tails are essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis. When dysregulated, "reader" proteins become drivers of disease. In the case of bromodomains, which recognize N-ε-acetylated lysine, selective inhibition of

In an attempt to identify a soluble oncodazole analogue that could be easily formulated, a series of substituted oncodazoles was synthesized and evaluated for tubulin binding affinity, in vitro cytotoxicity against cultured mouse B-16 cells, and ability to prolong lifespan
In the present study we synthesize 18F-labeled insulin of high specific radioactivity. A new prosthetic group methodology, in which [18F]fluoride displaces a bromide group of 4-(bromomethyl)-benzoylamine intermediates, was used. The 4-(fluoromethyl)benzoyl product was chemically stable. 18F-Labeled insulin retains the essential
Mono-Boc-protected diamines are versatile building blocks for chemical synthesis. Their production is a lot more challenging than the simple reaction scheme might imply, because the Boc-anhydride reagent cannot differentiate between the two identical amino moieties in the substrate.
