Amino Acid Ionic Liquids
HIROYUKI OHNO* AND KENTA FUKUMOTO

The preparation of ionic liquids derived from amino acids, and their properties, are outlined. Since amino acids have both a carboxylic acid residue and an amino group in a single molecule, they can be used as either anions or cations. These groups are also useful in their ability to introduce functional group(s). Twenty different natural amino acids were used as anions, to couple with the 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium cation. The salts obtained were all liquid at room temperature. The properties of the resulting ionic liquids (AAILs) depend on the side groups of the amino acids involved. These AAILs, composed of an amino acid with some functional groups such as a hydrogen bonding group, a charged group, or an aromatic ring, had an increased glass transition (or melting) temperature and/or higher viscosity as a result of additional interactions among the ions. Viscosity is reduced and the decomposition temperature of imidazolium-type salts is improved by using the tetrabutylphosphonium cation. The chirality of AAILs was maintained even upon heating to 150 °C after acetylation of the free amino group. The amino group was also modified to introduce a strong acid group so as to form hydrophobic and chiral ionic liquids. Unique phase behavior of the resulting hydrophobic ionic liquids and water mixture is found; the mixture is clearly phase separated at room temperature, but the solubility of water in this IL increases upon cooling, to give a homogeneous solution. This phase change is reversible, and separation occurs again by raising the temperature a few degrees. It is extraordinary for an IL/water mixture to display such behavior with a lower critical solution temperature. Some likely applications are proposed for these amino acid derived ionic liquids.

Enzymatic catalysis on conducting graphite particles

Kylie A Vincent¹, Xiang Li¹, Christopher F Blanford¹, Natalie A Belsey¹, Joel H Weiner² and Fraser A Armstrong¹

A new concept for enzyme-catalyzed redox transformations features pairs of electron donor and acceptor enzymes attached to conducting particles. Electrons furnished by oxidation at one enzyme are used at the other. Graphite microparticles modified with hydrogenase and nitrate reductase or fumarate reductase catalyze reductions of nitrate or fumarate (Compound 1) by H₂.

Copper-free click chemistry for dynamic in vivo imaging

Jeremy M. Baskin*, Jennifer A. Prescher*, Scott T. Laughlin*, Nicholas J. Agard*, Pamela V. Chang*, Isaac A. Miller*, Anderson Lo*, Julian A. Codelli*, and Carolyn R. Bertozzi

Dynamic imaging of proteins in live cells is routinely performed by using genetically encoded reporters, an approach that cannot be extended to other classes of biomolecules such as glycans and lipids. Here, we report a Cu-free variant of click chemistry that can label these biomolecules rapidly and selectively in living systems, overcoming the intrinsic toxicity of the canonical Cu-catalyzed reaction. The critical reagent, a substituted cyclooctyne, possesses ring strain and electron-withdrawing fluorine substituents that together promote the [3 + 2] dipolar cycloaddition with azides installed metabolically into biomolecules. This Cu-free click reaction possesses comparable kinetics to the Cu-catalyzed reaction and proceeds within minutes on live cells with no apparent toxicity. With this technique, we studied the dynamics of glycan trafficking and identified a population of sialoglycoconjugates with unexpectedly rapid internalization kinetics.

A Journey in Structure-Based Drug Discovery: From Designed Peptides to Protein Surface Topomimetics as Antibiotic and Antiangiogenic Agents

Ruud P. M. Dings and Kevin H. Mayo

Most biological events are mediated through molecular interactions by proteins, and because proteins are composed of structural units like helices, β-sheets and turns, small peptides and peptidomimetics may be used to mimic their biological effects and even as therapeutic agents in the clinic. Here, we present a structure-based, scaffold-driven approach to design bioactive peptides and peptidomimetics. Initially, we designed a novel series of β-sheet-forming peptides that mimic the activities of both antibiotic bacterial membrane disrupting peptides and antiangiogenic proteins. We subsequently used structure–activity relationships to reduce the design to partial peptide mimetics and then to fully nonpeptide topomimetics. Some of these agents are currently in extensive preclinical studies for further development as drug candidates against infectious disease and cancer.

Synthesis and characterisation of O-6-alkylthio- and perfluoroalkylpropanethio--cyclodextrins and their O-2-, O-3-methylated analogues

Bernard Bertino Ghera, Florent Perret, Anne Baudouin, Anthony W. Coleman and Hélène Parrot-Lopez

The synthesis of twelve alkylthio- or perfluoroalkylpropanethio--cyclodextrin derivatives and their O-2-, O-3-methylated analogues are described. The coupling reaction involves firstly the basic in situ hydrolysis of alkylperfluoropropane isothiouronium iodide or alkylisothiouronium bromide, then reaction with an -cyclodextrin modified at the C-6 position by an iodine or methylsulfonyl group. The interfacial properties of these new compounds have been determined by the studies of their mono-molecular layer at the air–water interface.

Carbo-mers: from skeleton to function

Valérie Maraval and Remi Chauvin

Since it has been proposed in 1995, the carbo-mer definition has been mainly applied to saturated and unsaturated rings of molecular skeletons, in view of studying their (homo)-aromatic character as compared to the electronic (de)localisation prevailing in the parent molecules. More generally, even acyclic or partial ethynylogues of common molecules exert fascination because the rigid expansion (preserving local symmetry) brought by the inserted acetylenic units gave them the status of "first-level nano-objects" When the C₂ insertion applies to the first shell of bonds at a given carbon or hetero-atom, the "exploded"unit can be considered a local carbo-mer of the corresponding function. The chemistry of molecules featuring a per-alkynylated atom is herein surveyed and perspectives are proposed. Some of them are "mysteriously" stable, while other remain "surprisingly" unknown in spite of their structural simplicity.

Nonaqueous Sol–Gel Routes to Metal Oxide Nanoparticles

Markus Niederberger

Abstract:
Sol–gel routes to metal oxide nanoparticles in organic solvents under exclusion of water have become a versatile alternative to aqueous methods. In comparison to the complex aqueous chemistry, nonaqueous processes offer the possibility of better understanding and controlling the reaction pathways on a molecular level, enabling the synthesis of nanomaterials with high crystallinity and well-defined and uniform particle morphologies. The organic components strongly influence the composition, size, shape, and surface properties of the inorganic product, underlining the demand to understand the role of the organic species at all stages of these processes for the development of a rational synthesis strategy for inorganic nanomaterials.
