Schreeb, A. published the artcilePiperazine modification in 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidine derivatives as histamine H4 receptor ligands, Safety of 2-Amino-4,6-dichloropyrimidine, the publication is Pharmazie (2013), 68(7), 521-525, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

The human histamine H4 receptor (hH4R) is a promising new target in the therapy of inflammatory and immunomodulatory diseases. The 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidine structure has been established as a potent hH4R affinity scaffold. By using the inverse agonist ST-1012 as reference ligand, piperazine modifications were performed to get larger structural variations. Therefore, different spacers were introduced into the lead structure and the influence on affinity of this basic element was evaluated. While a short distance between aminopyrimidine and basic moiety is beneficial, a lipophilic group in the eastern part is necessary to maintain hH4R affinity. The title compounds thus formed included a piperazine pyrimidine indoline derivative (I) and related substances, such as 4,6-bis(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-2-pyrimidinamine. The synthesis of the target compounds was achieved by a reaction of 4,6-dichloro-2-pyrimidinamine with 4-methyl-1-piperazineethanamine, 4-methyl-1-piperazinepropanamine, 4-methyl-1-piperazinebutanamine, etc.

This paper presents a comparative study of the photoinduced electron transfer in a series of donor-acceptor compounds and their hydrogen-bonded complexes in solution 4-(Dimethylamino)pyridine (III), similarly to 4-(dimethylamino)pyrimidine (I) and 4-(dimethylamino)-5-methylpyrimidine (II) and contrary to 4-(N,N-dimethylanilino)pyrimidine (IV), shows dual luminescence in a sufficiently polar and mobile environment. The results of steady-state and kinetic investigations as well as quantum chem. calculations of IIII fit well into the twisted intramol. charge transfer (TICT) state model. On the other hand, the results suggest an enhanced planarity of the ICT fluorescent state of IV. INDO/S calculations confirm the large probability of the allowed radiative transitions in the latter compound Photophysics of all the compounds under study is modified by hydrogen bonding: fluorescence quantum yields are strongly reduced in the presence of alcs.

Genetic disorders can arise from single base substitutions in a single gene. A single base substitution for wild type guanine in the twelfth codon of KRAS2 mRNA occurs frequently to initiate lung, pancreatic, and colon cancer. We have observed single base mismatch specificity in radioimaging of mutant KRAS2 mRNA in tumors in mice by in vivo hybridization with radiolabeled peptide nucleic acid (PNA) dodecamers. We hypothesized that multimutant specificity could be achieved with a PNA dodecamer incorporating hypoxanthine, which can form Watson-Crick base pairs with adenine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil. Using mol. dynamics simulations and free energy calculations, we show that hypoxanthine substitutions in PNAs are tolerated in KRAS2 RNA:PNA duplexes where wild type guanine is replaced by mutant uracil or adenine in RNA. To validate our predictions, we synthesized PNA dodecamers with hypoxanthine, and then measured the thermal stability of RNA:PNA duplexes. CD thermal melting results showed that hypoxanthine-containing PNAs are more stable in duplexes where hypoxanthine-adenine and hypoxanthine-uracil base pairs are formed than single mismatch duplexes or duplexes containing hypoxanthine-guanine opposition.

A self-catalytic monomer of phthalonitrile, 2-amino-4,6-bis[3-(3,4-dicyano-phenoxy)phenoxy] pyrimidine (ACPP), was synthesized by a one-pot method with resorcinol, 2-amino-4,6-dichloropyrimidine, and 4-nitrophthalonitrile. The chem. structure of the ACPP monomer was characterized by Fourier transform IR spectroscopy and NMR spectroscopy. The curing behavior of ACPP monomer was studied by differential scanning calorimetric, which indicated that the ACPP monomer had a low m.p. (84 °C) and revealed an autocatalytic reaction and tremendously wide processing window (193 °C). Wide-angle X-ray diffraction and FTIR analyzes were employed to explore the microstructure of the ACPP polymers. The properties of the three polymers with different curing procedures were investigated, which implied that the ACPP polymers exhibited excellent thermal stability, high modulus, superior glass-transition temperature (Tg > 400 °C), and low water absorption with the increase in curing extent.

A multifunctional isothiocyanate-based isotope labeling reagent, [d0]-/[d6]-4,6-dimethoxy pyrimidine-2-isothiocyanate (DMPITC), has been developed for accurate N-terminus identification in peptide sequencing and comparative protein anal. by ESI Ion-trap TOF mass spectrometry. In contrast with the conventional labeling reagent Ph isothiocyanate (PITC), DMPITC showed more desirable properties such as rapid labeling, sensitivity enhancement, and facilitating peptide sequencing. More significantly, DMPITC-based labeling strategy possessed the capacity of higher reliable N-terminus identification owning to the high-yield b1 ion combined with the isotope validation of 6 Da. Meanwhile, it also showed potential in differentiating isomeric residues of leucine and isoleucine at N-terminus on the basis of the relative abundance ratios between the fragment ions of their resp. b1 ions. The strategy not only allows accurate interpretation for peptide but also ensures rapid and sensitive comparative anal. for protein by direct MS anal. Using trypsin-digested bovine serum albumin (BSA), both peptide N-terminus identification and quant. anal. were accomplished with high accuracy, efficiency, and reproducibility. The application of DMPITC-based labeling strategy is expected to serve as a promising tool for proteome research.

According to the pharmacophore binding strategy and principle of bioelectronic isobaric, used the sulfonylurea bridge as the parent structure, a series of novel thiourea compounds containing aromatic-substituted pyrimidines I (R1 = OMe, Cl, N(Et)2, etc.; R2 = Me, OEt, Cl, etc.) were designed and synthesized. The preliminary herbicidal activity tests showed that some compounds had good herbicidal activity against Digitaria adscendens, Amaranthus retroflexus, especially for compound I (R1 = OMe; R2 = Cl) and compound I (R1 = R2 = Cl). The results showed that compound I (R1 = OMe; R2 = Cl) had an inhibition rate of 81.5% on the root growth of Brassica napus L. at the concentration of 100 mg L-1, and compound I (R1 = R2 = Cl) had an inhibition rate of 81% on the root growth of Digitaria adscendens at the concentration of 100 mg L-1. Compounds I (R1 = OMe; R2 = Cl) and I (R1 = R2 = Cl) had higher comparative activity on Echinochloa crus-galli than the com. herbicide bensulfuron-Me. The preliminary structure-activity relationship (SAR) was also summarized. Authors also tested the in vivo AHAS enzyme activity inhibition experiment of 14 compounds at 100 mg L-1, and the results showed that they all have inhibitory activity on the enzyme, with the highest inhibition rate reaching 44.4% (compound I (R1 = OMe; R2 = Cl)). Based on the results of mol. docking to yeast acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS), the possible herbicidal activity mechanism of these compounds was evaluated.

Zhang, Xiao published the artcileStructural insights into FTO’s catalytic mechanism for the demethylation of multiple RNA substrates, Application In Synthesis of 608-34-4, the publication is Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (2019), 116(8), 2919-2924, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

FTO demethylates internal N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and N6,2′-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am; at the cap +1 position) in mRNA, m6A and m6Am in snRNA, and N1-methyladenosine (m1A) in tRNA in vivo, and in vitro evidence supports that it can also demethylate N6-methyldeoxyadenosine (6mA), 3-methylthymine (3mT), and 3-methyluracil (m3U). However, it remains unclear how FTO variously recognizes and catalyzes these diverse substrates. Here we demonstrate – in vitro and in vivo – that FTO has extensive demethylation enzymic activity on both internal m6A and cap m6Am. Considering that 6mA, m6A, and m6Am all share the same nucleobase, we present a crystal structure of human FTO bound to 6mA-modified ssDNA, revealing the mol. basis of the catalytic demethylation of FTO toward multiple RNA substrates. We discovered that (i) N6-methyladenine is the most favorable nucleobase substrate of FTO, (ii) FTO displays the same demethylation activity toward internal m6A and m6Am in the same RNA sequence, suggesting that the substrate specificity of FTO primarily results from the interaction of residues in the catalytic pocket with the nucleobase (rather than the ribose ring), and (iii) the sequence and the tertiary structure of RNA can affect the catalytic activity of FTO. Our findings provide a structural basis for understanding the catalytic mechanism through which FTO demethylates its multiple substrates and pave the way forward for the structure-guided design of selective chems. for functional studies and potential therapeutic applications.
