Multitarget-Directed Gallium(III) Tris(acyl-pyrazolonate) Complexes Induce Ferroptosis in Cancer Cells via Dysregulation of Cell Redox Homeostasis and Inhibition of the Mevalonate Pathway

A series of Ga(Q(n))(3) coordination compounds have been synthesized, where HQ(n) is 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-RC(=O)-pyrazolo-5-one. The complexes have been characterized through analytical data, NMR and IR spectroscopy, ESI mass spectrometry, elemental analysi ...

Mitochondrial respiratory chain dysfunction disrupts intracellular cholesterol homeostasis

Christopher Tadhg James Wall

Mitochondrial diseases are rare and severe conditions with debilitating symptoms. Biochemical defects in mitochondria however are common. The difference between these two frequencies is suspected to lie in the capability of the cells to adapt to the homeos ...

Sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 couples mechanical cues and lipid metabolism

Giovanni Sorrentino

Sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) are a family of transcription factors that regulate lipid biosynthesis and adipogenesis by controlling the expression of several enzymes required for cholesterol, fatty acid, triacylglycerol and phospholi ...

1,3-Difunctionalization of Aminocyclopropanes via Dielectrophilic Intermediates

Jérôme Waser, Mingming Wang

We report an oxidative ring-opening strategy to transform acyl, sulfonyl or carbamate protected aminocyclopropanes into 1,3-dielectrophilic carbon intermediates bearing a halide atom (Br, I) and a N,O-acetal. Replacing the alkoxy group of the N,O-acetal ca ...

Visualizing sphingolipid biosynthesis in cells

Biosynthetic pathways play a fundamental role in the building and operation of the cell by synthesizing the constituents by which the cell is constructed, and by producing signalling intermediates that play a key role in cell regulation. While a lot is kno ...

Mechanistic Study of the N-Formylation of Amines with Carbon Dioxide and Hydrosilanes

Paul Joseph Dyson, Gabor Laurenczy, Martin Hulla

N-formylation of amines with CO2 and hydrosilane reducing agents proceeds via fast and complex chemical equilibria, which hinder easy analysis of the reaction pathways. In situ reaction monitoring and kinetic studies reveal that three proposed pathways, vi ...

Versatile palladium-catalyzed double carbonylation of aryl bromides

Paul Joseph Dyson, Gabor Laurenczy, Cornel Fink, Xinbang Wu

A versatile palladium-catalyzed double carbonylation of aryl bromides has been developed. Using Pd(OAc)2/BuPAd2 as the catalyst system and DBU as the base, under relatively low CO pressure, various a-ketoamides were produced in good yields. In order to get ...

Regiodivergent Cyclobutanone Cleavage: Switching Selectivity with Different Lewis Acids

Nicolai Cramer, Laetitia Marie Mélanie Souillart

The exploitation of strain release in small rings as driving force to enable complex transformations is a powerful synthetic tool. Among them, cyclobutanones are particularly versatile substrates that can be elaborated in a wide variety of structurally div ...

The restricted metabolism of the obligate organohalide respiring bacterium Dehalobacter restrictus: lessons from tiered functional genomics

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Aamani Rupakula Boyanapalli, Hauke Smidt

Dehalobacter restrictus strain PER-K23 is an obligate organohalide respiring bacterium, which displays extremely narrow metabolic capabilities. It grows only via coupling energy conservation to anaerobic respiration of tetra- and trichloroethene with hydro ...

The electro-deoxidation of dense titanium dioxide precursors in molten calcium chloride giving a new reaction pathway

Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander

A new study is presented on the electro-deoxidation of porous TiO2 precursors in molten calcium chlo- ride electrolytes. It is shown that by reducing precursor open porosity from standard values of ≥25% to ∼11–12%, such that there is insufficient free volu ...

Metabolic pathway and distribution of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles: in vivo study

Heinrich Hofmann

Background: Experimental tissue fusion benefits from the selective heating of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) under high frequency irradiation. However, the metabolic pathways of SPIONs for tissue fusion remain unknown. Hence, the goal ...

Unraveling the Catalytic Pathway of Metalloenzyme Farnesyltransferase through QM/MM Computation

Matteo Dal Peraro

The protein farnesyltransferase (FTase) is a Zn2+-metalloenzyme that catalyzes the farnesylation reaction, i.e., the transfer of the 15-carbon atom farnesyl group from farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) to a specific cysteine of protein substrates. Oncogenic Ras p ...
