Cationic lipids are widely used as nonviral synthetic vectors for gene delivery as a safer alternative to viral vectors. In this work, a library of L-shaped spermine-based cationic lipids with identical and nonidentical hydrophobic chains having variable carbon lengths (from C10 to C18) was designed and synthesized. These lipids were characterized and the structure-activity relationships of these compounds were determined for DNA binding and transfection ability when formulated as cationic liposomes. The liposomes were then used successfully for the transfection of HEK293T, HeLa, PC3, H460, HepG2, SH-SY5Y and Calu’3 cell lines. The transfection efficiency of lipids with nonidentical hydrocarbon chains was greater than the identical analogue. These reagents exhibited superior efficiency to the commercial reagent, Lipofectamine3000, under both serum-free and 10–40 % serum conditions in HEK293T, HeLa and H460 cell lines. The lipids were not toxic to the tested cell line. The results suggest that L-shaped spermine-based cationic lipids with nonidentical hydrocarbon tails could serve as efficient and safe nonviral vector gene carriers in further in vivo studies.

Flow reaction methods have been developed to selectively synthesize tertiary, secondary, and primary amines depending on heterogeneous platinum-group metal species under catalytic hydrogenation conditions using nitriles as starting materials. A 10 % Pd/C-packed catalyst cartridge affords symmetrically substituted tertiary amines in good to excellent yields. A 10 % Rh/C-packed catalyst cartridge enables the divergent synthesis of secondary and primary amines, with either cyclohexane or acetic acid as a solvent, respectively. Reaction parameters, such as the metal catalyst, solvent, and reaction temperature, and continuous-flow conditions, such as flow direction and second support of the catalyst in a catalyst cartridge, are quite important for controlling the reaction between the hydrogenation of nitriles and nucleophilic attack of in situ-generated amines to imine intermediates. A wide variety of aliphatic and aromatic nitriles could be highly selectively transformed into the corresponding tertiary, secondary, and primary amines by simply changing the metal species of the catalyst or flow parameters. Furthermore, the selective continuous-flow methodologies are applied over at least 72 h to afford three different types of amines in 80–99 % yield without decrease in catalytic activities.

The use of triglycerides as an important class of biomass is an effective strategy to realize a more sustainable society. Herein, three heterogeneous catalytic methods are reported for the selective one-pot transformation of triglycerides into value-added chemicals: i) the reductive amination of triglycerides into fatty amines with aqueous NH3 under H2 promoted by ZrO2-supported Pt clusters; ii) the amidation of triglycerides under gaseous NH3 catalyzed by high-silica H-beta (Hβ) zeolite at 180 °C; iii) the Hβ-promoted synthesis of nitriles from triglycerides and gaseous NH3 at 220 °C. These methods are widely applicable to the transformation of various triglycerides (C4–C18 skeletons) into the corresponding amines, amides, and nitriles.

The hydrogenation of aliphatic nitriles over Pd/C, Pd/Al2O3, and Pd?Au/Al2O3 catalysts were evaluated for the selective hydrogenation of aliphatic nitriles to the corresponding primary amines. The highest selectivity (>99%) toward primary amines was achieved when the reaction was carried out in acetic acid using 10 mol% of 25% Pd-5% Au/Al2O3 under relatively low hydrogen pressure (0.8 MPa). Characterization of the catalysts by XRD, CO adsorption experiments, and EXAFS revealed that the excellent selectivity of 25% Pd-5% Au/Al2O3 toward the synthesis of primary amines is determined by the electronic properties and/or the surface structure resulting from alloying Pd with Au. (Figure presented.).

Symmetrical tertiary amines have been efficiently realized from amine and secondary amines via deaminated homocoupling with heterogeneous bimetallic Co2Rh2/C as catalyst (molar ratio Co:Rh=2:2). Unsymmetric secondary anilines were produced from the reaction of anilines with symmetric tertiary amines. The Co2Rh2/C catalyst exhibited very high catalytic activity towards a wide range of amines and could be conveniently recycled ten times without considerable leaching. (Figure presented.).

In the presence of palladium on carbon (Pd/C) as a catalyst, hydrogenation of aliphatic nitriles in cyclohexane efficiently proceeded at 25-60 °C under ordinary hydrogen gas pressure to afford the corresponding tertiary amines. However, the use of rhodium on carbon (Rh/C) led to the highly selective generation of secondary amines. Hydrogenation of aromatic nitriles and cyclohexanecarbonitrile selectively produced secondary amines in the presence of either Pd/C or Rh/C.

Small zero-valent copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) have been straightforwardly prepared from Cu(I) and Cu(II) precursors in glycerol and in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone as stabilizer. Thanks to the negligible vapor pressure of the solvent, these original nano-systems could be directly characterized in glycerol as well as in the solid state, exhibiting relevantly homogeneous colloidal dispersions, also even after catalysis. CuNPs coming from the well-defined coordination complex di-μ-hydroxobis[(N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine)copper(II)] chloride {[Cu(κ2-N,N-TMEDA)(μ-OH)]2Cl2} have been highly efficient in C–C and C–heteroatom bond formation processes. This new catalytic system has proved its performance in C–N couplings and in the synthesis of differently substituted propargylic amines through cross-dehydrogenative couplings, multi-component reactions such as A3 (aldehyde-alkyne-amine) and KA2 (ketone-alkyne-amine) couplings, as well as in the formation of heterocycles such as benzofurans, indolizines, and quinolines under smooth conditions. No significant copper amount was detected in the extracted organic compounds from the catalytic phase by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopic (ICP-AES) analyses, proving a highly efficient immobilization of copper nanoparticles in glycerol. From a mechanistic point of view, spectroscopic data (infrared and ultraviolet-visible spectra) agree with a surface-like catalytic reactivity. (Figure presented.).
Development of new estradiol-cationic lipid hybrids: Ten-carbon twin chain cationic lipid is a more suitable partner for estradiol to elicit better anticancer activity

The present study illustrates the synthesis and anticancer evaluation of six, ten, twelve and fourteen carbon chain containing cationic lipidated-estradiol hybrids. Previously, we have established the lipidation strategy to introduce anticancer activities in various pharmacophores including estradiol (ES). In this structure activity study the length of the carbon chain is narrowed down between C6-C14 to screen out the most potent anticancer molecule among the class. Among the newly developed ES-cationic lipid conjugates, ten-carbon chain containing derivative, ES-C10 (5c) exhibited 4-12 folds better anticancer activity than the previously established derivative, ES-C8 (5b) in various cancer cells of different origin. Moreover cytotoxicity of this molecule was not observed in non-cancer cells. Notably, in spite of bearing estrogenic moiety, ES-C10 exhibited anticancer activity irrespective of estrogen receptor (ER) expression status. ES-C10 exhibited prominent sub-G0 arrest of cancer cells with concomitant induction of apoptosis and demonstrated significant inhibition of tumor growth in mouse melanoma model. Collectively, ES-C10 exemplifies the development of an anticancer agent with broader activity against cancer cells of different origins.

The N-alkylation of amines or ammonia with alcohols is a valuable route for the synthesis of N-alkyl amines. However, as a potentially clean and economic choice for N-alkyl amine synthesis, non-noble metal catalysts with high activity and good selectivity are rarely reported. Normally, they are severely limited due to low activity and poor generality. Herein, a simple NiCuFeOx catalyst was designed and prepared for the N-alkylation of ammonia or amines with alcohol or primary amines. N-alkyl amines with various structures were successfully synthesized in moderate to excellent yields in the absence of organic ligands and bases. Typically, primary amines could be efficiently transformed into secondary amines and N-heterocyclic compounds, and secondary amines could be N-alkylated to synthesize tertiary amines. Note that primary and secondary amines could be produced through a one-pot reaction of ammonia and alcohols. In addition to excellent catalytic performance, the catalyst itself possesses outstanding superiority, that is, it is air and moisture stable. Moreover, the magnetic property of this catalyst makes it easily separable from the reaction mixture and it could be recovered and reused for several runs without obvious deactivation. Copyright
