Our multi-template approach for drug discovery, focusing on protein targets with similar fold structures, has yielded lead compounds for various targets. We have also shown that a diphenylmethane skeleton can serve as a surrogate for a steroid skeleton. Here, on

Steroid sulfatase (STS) is a potential target for treatment of postmenopausal hormone-dependent breast cancer. Several steroidal STS inhibitors have been reported, but steroidal compounds are difficult to optimize and may interact with other targets. On the other hand, we have

A new tetracationic triple-stranded supramolecular cylinder is prepared from a bis(pyridylimine) ligand containing a diphenylmethane and two ketimine groups in the spacer. The cylinder is longer and slightly wider than the corresponding cylinder containing just diphenylmethane spacers. Inter-strand CH...pi interactions

Rotationally resolved microwave and ultraviolet spectra of jet-cooled diphenylmethane (DPM) and DPM-d(12) have been obtained in S(0), S(1), and S(2) electronic states using Fourier-transform microwave and UV laser/molecular beam spectrometers. The S(0) and S(1) states of both isotopologues have been

The theory for modeling vibronic interactions in bichromophores was introduced in sixties by Witkowski and Moffitt [J. Chem. Phys. 33, 872 (1960)] and extended by Fulton and Gouterman [J. Chem. Phys. 35, 1059 (1961)]. The present work describes extension of
