Article: Synthesis, DNA binding and cleavage activities of the copper (II) complexes of estrogen-macrocyclic polyamine conjugates.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A series of the copper (II) complexes 5a-d of estrogen-macrocyclic polyamine conjugates were synthesized and characterized. The interactions of complexes 5a-d with DNA were studied by fluorescence spectroscopy and gel electrophoresis under physiological conditions. The results indicate that the conjugated estrogens have increased the cleavage efficiency of Cu[cyclen](2+) while the conjugates display poor binding affinities. The functional groups of D-ring of estrogens may play a key role in deciding binding and cleavage extent of the complexes to DNA.Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry 05/2008; 16(7):3871-7. · 2.82 Impact Factor -
Article: Highly enantioselective hetero- Diels-Alder reaction of trans-1-methoxy- 2-methyl-3-trimethylsiloxybuta-1,3-diene with aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes catalyzed by 3-substituted BINOL-titanium complex.

ABSTRACT: 3-diphenylhydroxymethyl-substituted BINOL-titanium complex prepared in situ was found to be a highly efficient catalyst for hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of diene 1 with both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes to give 2,5-disubstituted dihydropyrone in up to 99% yield and 99% ee.Organic Letters 04/2008; 10(6):1299-302. · 5.86 Impact Factor
