Fighting Cancer with Transition Metal Complexes: From Naked DNA to Protein and Chromatin Targeting Strategies

Paul Joseph Dyson, Ursula Röthlisberger, Tina Riedel, Giulia Palermo, Thibaud Edouard Alistair von Erlach

Many transition metal complexes have unique physicochemical properties that can be efficiently exploited in medicinal chemistry for cancer treatment. Traditionally, double-stranded DNA has been assumed to be the main binding target; however, recent studies ...

Catalytic Metal Ions and Enzymatic Processing of DNA and RNA

Matteo Dal Peraro, Giulia Palermo, Andrea Cavalli

Two-metal-ion-dependent nucleases cleave the phosphodiester bonds of nucleic acids via the two-metal-ion (2M) mechanism. Several high-resolution X-ray structures portraying the two-metal-aided catalytic site, together with mutagenesis and kinetics studies, ...

[4+2]-Annulations of Aminocyclobutanes

Jérôme Waser, Florian Patrick Marie Daniel De la Barre De Nanteuil, Jérémy Vuilleumier, Sophie Lucie Racine, Daniele Perrotta

The first [4 + 2]-annulation between aminocyclobutanes and aldehydes to access tetrahydropyranyl amines is reported. With phthalimido cyclobutane dicarboxylates and aromatic aldehydes, tetrahydropyrans were obtained in 53-92% yield and 3:1-17:1 dr using sc ...

Synthesis of (Carbo) nucleoside Analogues by [3+2] Annulation of Aminocyclopropanes

Jérôme Waser, Florian Patrick Marie Daniel De la Barre De Nanteuil, Sophie Lucie Racine, Eloísa Sofía Serrano Robledo

(Carbo) nucleoside derivatives constitute an important class of pharmaceuticals, yet there are only few convergent methods to access new analogues. Here, we report the first synthesis of thymine-, uracil-, and 5-fluorouracil-substituted diester donor-accep ...

Hybridization chain reaction performed on a metal surface as a means of signal amplification in SPR and electrochemical biosensors

Carlotta Guiducci, Fabio Mario Spiga

A more specific and intense signal is desirable for most kinds of biosensors for biomedical or environmental applications, and it is especially so for label-free biosensors. In this paper, we show that hybridization chain reaction (HCR) can be exploited fo ...

Bicyclic peptide ligands pulled out of cysteine-rich peptide libraries

Christian Heinis, Petr Leiman, Shiyu Chen, Inmaculada Rentero Rebollo, Jeremy Touati, Julia Morales Sanfrutos

Bicyclic peptide ligands were found to have good binding affinity and target specificity. However, the method applied to generate bicyclic ligands based on phage-peptide alkylation is technically complex and limits its application to specialized laboratori ...

Development of New Bicyclic Peptide Formats and their Application in Directed Evolution

Shiyu Chen

Cyclic peptides have a range of properties that make them attractive as therapeutics such as high binding affinity, good target selectivity and low toxicity. While most peptides in the clinic are derived from nature, various powerful in vitro evolution tec ...

Phage selection of bicyclic peptides

Christian Heinis, Inmaculada Rentero Rebollo

Bicyclic peptides are small, constrained peptides that can bind with high affinity and selectivity to protein targets. Their small size provides a number of advantages over larger protein-based ligands, including access to chemical synthesis, better tissue ...
