ZIF-8-mediated block copolymer micelles and its application in drug delivery

Block copolymer micelles have been widely used in drug delivery. Great efforts have been made to optimize the function of block copolymer micelles and further enhance their bioavailability. We propose a means of embedding ZIF-8 in block copolymer micelles to regulate its stability for improving the drug release kinetics. The block copolymer poly (2-(diisopropyl amino-ethyl methacrylate)-block-poly (vinylimidazole-co-poly (ethylene glycol) methyl methacrylate) (PDPA18-b-P(Vim18-co-P(EG)5MA21) (PDPV) bearing imidazole moiety was synthesized through reversible addition-cracking chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. PDPV can self-assemble into micelles in aqueous solution and then be loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) to obtain DOX@PDPV, followed by Zn coordination to anchor ZIF-8 to the PVim moiety in DOX@PDPV to obtain the final drug delivery system DOX@PDPV@ZIF-8 hybrids. The DOX@PDPV@ZIF-8 hybrids can avoid the influence of the critical micelle concentration (CMC) on it, which was further prevent the premature leakage of DOX under physiological conditions. Furthermore, the pH-responsive properties of PDPA and ZIF-8 facilitated enabled the effective release of DOX in weakly acidic tumor environments. In vitro studies also confirmed that DOX@PDPV@ZIF-8 improved DOX accumulation in cells, leading to the inhibition of cancer cell growth. Therefore, the integrated design provided a promising strategy to regulate the stability of block copolymer micelles, improve drug release kinetics, and ultimately inhibit the growth of cancer cell.

Fabricating of turquoise/white luminescent azo-Schiff bases bearing benzimidazole and imidazole rings

New azo dyes (1a-b) were prepared by the azo coupling reaction of 2-nitro-1,4-phenylenediamine with 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde and 5-chloro-2-hydroxyaniline. Corresponding Schiff base derivatives (2a-b) bearing conjugated benzimidazole and imidazole moieties were obtained via the condensation reaction of these dyes with 2-aminobenzimidazole and 4-imidazolecarboxaldehyde. Their structures were characterized by elemental analysis, FT–IR, 1H/13C NMR, LC-MS and UV–Vis spectroscopic techniques. Chromic (solvato-, acido-, thermo-) and photoluminescence behaviour of compounds 2a and 2b were evaluated depending on their donor–π–acceptor molecular system and intramolecular proton tautomerism. The absorption and emission spectra of 2a and 2b were recorded in DMSO, DMF and CHCl3. 2a emitted turquoise luminescence in DMSO and DMF, and white luminescence in CHCl3, while 2b emitted strong turquoise luminescence in only CHCl3.

Silver Complex Bearing N-Heterocyclic Carbene Bidentate Chelating Ligand as an Efficient Catalyst in Solvent-Free KA2 Coupling.

We report a synthesis of silver complexes bearing chelating bidentate N-heterocyclic carbene, with various substitutions at the terminal positions of the imidazole moiety of the NHC units. The long aliphatic substituents proved to be beneficial in terms of the synthetic efficiency of the complexes, compared to previously reported methyl substitution. The complexes demonstrated excellent suitability for the KA2 coupling reaction, providing quaternary carbon-containing propargylic amines in yields up to 95 %, under solvent-free conditions. The method showed high tolerance for a wide range of substrates, including naturally occurring ketones, underscoring its practicality. To our knowledge, this represents the first use of a well-defined silver species in KA2 coupling, marking an advancement in the field.

Inorganic‐Organic Hybrid Crystals Derived from Polyoxovanadate and Ionic‐Liquid toward Promising Conductive Materials

AbstractConductive polyoxovanadate inorganic‐organic hybrid crystals comprising alkaline earth metal (divalent) cations were successfully obtained with the use of an ionic‐liquid cation having imidazolium and methacryloyl moieties (denoted as MAImC1). Two types of crystals containing decavanadate ([V10O28]6−, V10) anion were obtained as [MAImC1]2Ca2[V10O28] ⋅ 16H2O ⋅ 2 C2H5OH (MAImC1−Ca−V10) and [MAImC1]2Mg2[V10O28] ⋅ 18H2O ⋅ 2 C2H5OH (MAImC1−Mg−V10). Connection modes of the divalent cations were different: Ca2+ cations were connected to V10 to form a {[Ca(H2O)5]2V10O28]}2− anion in MAImC1−Ca−V10, while a discrete [V10O28]6− and hydrated [Mg(H2O)6]2+ were present in MAImC1−Mg−V10. Conductivities under a fully humidified condition at 353 K (80 °C) were high values of 3.0×10−4 S cm−1 for MAImC1−Ca−V10 and 3.3×10−3 S cm−1 for MAImC1−Mg−V10, respectively. The higher conductivity under hydrated conditions suggests proton as a conductive carrier. The better conductivity of MAImC1−Mg−V10 is plausibly derived from the more effective hydrogen‐bonded network in the crystal lattice.

Tailoring Electric Double Layer by Cation Specific Adsorption for High‐Voltage Quasi‐Solid‐State Lithium Metal Batteries

AbstractThe interfacial instability of high‐nickel layered oxides severely plagues practical application of high‐energy quasi‐solid‐state lithium metal batteries (LMBs). Herein, a uniform and highly oxidation‐resistant polymer layer within inner Helmholtz plane is engineered by in situ polymerizing 1‐vinyl‐3‐ethylimidazolium (VEIM) cations preferentially adsorbed on LiNi0.83Co0.11Mn0.06O2 (NCM83) surface, inducing the formation of anion‐derived cathode electrolyte interphase with fast interfacial kinetics. Meanwhile, the copolymerization of [VEIM][BF4] and vinyl ethylene carbonate (VEC) endows P(VEC‐IL) copolymer with the positively‐charged imidazolium moieties, providing positive electric fields to facilitate Li+ transport and desolvation process. Consequently, the Li||NCM83 cells with a cut‐off voltage up to 4.5 V exhibit excellent reversible capacity of 130 mAh g−1 after 1000 cycles at 25 °C and considerable discharge capacity of 134 mAh g−1 without capacity decay after 100 cycles at −20 °C. This work provides deep understanding on tailoring electric double layer by cation specific adsorption for high‐voltage quasi‐solid‐state LMBs.

Herein, we have shown that the water molecule in [VO(nta)(H2O)]- can be replaced by an imidazole moiety which is a versatile binding site in various biological systems. These findings offer a new approach for synthesizing mixed ligand complexes with desired physicochemical and biological properties. In this study, a new hetero-ligand oxidovanadium(IV) monohydrate salt was successfully synthesized and structurally characterized. The compound consists of a mononuclear [VO(nta)(im)]- entity, where nitrilotriacetato–(nta) and imidazole (im) ligands are incorporated, along with an imidazolinium counterion, [im(H)][VO(nta)(im)]H2O. To characterize the complex in a solid state, various techniques were employed including elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TG-FTIR), single-crystal X-ray diffraction method and IR spectroscopy. In addition, the investigation included a study of the speciation of the complex ion [VO(nta)(im)]- in an aqueous solution. Furthermore, the influence of imidazole as an auxiliary ligand (im) in the coordination sphere of V(IV) is investigated in terms of its effects on ABTS+• radical scavenging activity and cytoprotective properties against oxidative damage in the hippocampal neuronal HT22 cell line. Finally, this study compares and discusses the physicochemical properties and biological activities of the newly synthesised compound and those containing [VO(nta)(H2O)]- complex anions.

Identification of New Hepatic Metabolites of Miconazole by Biological and Electrochemical Methods Using Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography Combined with High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry.

The main objective of this study was to investigate the metabolism of miconazole, an azole antifungal drug. Miconazole was subjected to incubation with human liver microsomes (HLM) to mimic phase I metabolism reactions for the first time. Employing a combination of an HLM assay and UHPLC-HRMS analysis enabled the identification of seven metabolites of miconazole, undescribed so far. Throughout the incubation with HLM, miconazole underwent biotransformation reactions including hydroxylation of the benzene ring and oxidation of the imidazole moiety, along with its subsequent degradation. Additionally, based on the obtained results, screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) were optimized to simulate the same biotransformation reactions, by the use of a simple, fast, and cheap electrochemical method. The potential toxicity of the identified metabolites was assessed using various in silico models.

Viscosity-modulated intramolecular excitation energy transfer for mitochondria-targeted sensing and photokilling

Viscosity is a key parameter of mitochondria that related to several diseases. To design a probe acting as both the mitochondria-targeted viscosity sensor and photosensitizer is meaningful for diagnosis and therapies. Herein, we report a ratiometric viscosity sensor with dual-emission mediated by excitation energy transfer (EET) effect, which can detect the mitochondrial viscosity and serve as an efficient photosensitizer to eradicate cancer cells. The probe comprises of a blue-emitting imidazole moiety as the energy donor and a green-emitting boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) core as the energy acceptor, respectively. Via viscosity-modulated EET effect, the dual-emissive probe can sensitively detect the medium viscosity in a ratiometric model. Directed by imidazole as the targeting factor, the probe can specifically accumulate in mitochondria and ratiometrically determine the intracellular viscosity increase induced by Nystatin treatment. Furthermore, it also exhibits light-triggered reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation including singlet oxygen and superoxide radical, which can efficiently kill the cancer cells under white light illumination. Thus, this work provides a versatile and promising candidate for disease diagnosis and phototherapy.

Synthesis of amide derivatives containing the imidazole moiety and evaluation of their anti-cardiac fibrosis activity.

Three series of N-{[4-([1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-α]pyridin-6-yl)-5-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]methyl}acetamides (14a-d, 15a-n, and 16a-f) were synthesized and evaluated for activin receptor-like kinase 5 (ALK5) inhibitory activities in an enzymatic assay. The target compounds showed high ALK5 inhibitory activity and selectivity. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) for phosphorylation of ALK5 of 16f (9.1 nM), the most potent compound, was 2.7 times that of the clinical candidate EW-7197 (vactosertib) and 14 times that of the clinical candidate LY-2157299. The selectivity index of 16f against p38α mitogen-activated protein kinase was >109, which was much higher than that of positive controls (EW-7197: >41, and LY-2157299: 4). Furthermore, a molecular docking study provided the interaction modes between the target compounds and ALK5. Compounds 14c, 14d, and 16f effectively inhibited the protein expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), collagen I, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1)/matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP-13) in transforming growth factor-β-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Compounds 14c and 16f showed especially high activity at low concentrations, which suggests that these compounds could inhibit myocardial cell fibrosis. Compounds 14c, 14d, and 16f are potential preclinical candidates for the treatment of cardiac fibrosis.

Screening and Chromatographic identification of the phytochemicals in the Powdered leaves of <i>Urena lobata</i> L. (Malvaceae)

Urena lobata is a widely distributed tropical and subtropical weed with varying pharmacological activities, ascribed to the presence of bioactive principles in the plant. This study aimed to identify phytochemicals in the powdered leaves of Urena lobata using two chromatographic techniques. Phytochemical screening was evaluated for the powdered leaves using standard methods, Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) were utilized to determined the phytochemicals in the methanolic extract of the leaves. Results obtained indicate that alkaloids, cyanogenic glycosides, flavonoids, saponins, steroids, tannins and terpenoids were detected in the methanolic extract of the leaves. The GC-MS analysis showed the presence of 4-(3-dimethylaminopropoxy)benzaldehyde, pyridine, 9-octadecenamide, 2-amino-5-chlorophenyl phosphonic acid, 2-propenenitrile, 2,1-benzisoxazole-4-carboxlic acid, 1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-one, pyridine-3-carboxamide, 2-pyrazoline, 4-aminobenzoic acid, 3-nitrophthalhydrazide, 2,4 (1H, 5H)-imidazoldione and bromophos-ethyl, semicarbazide. While the HPLC analysis for selected alkaloids detected imidazole and pyrazoline alkaloidal moieties from the extract. Owing to the results obtained in this study, it can be concluded that phytochemicals of important pharmacological potentials were detected in the methanolic extract of Urena lobata leaves.

Dual-Channel Imine-Amine Photoisomerization in a Benzoimidazole and Benzothiazole Coupled System: Photophysics and Applications.

A molecule, namely 2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-6-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-4-bromophenol (BIBTB), having a two-way proton transfer unit of thiazole and imidazole moieties was synthesized and characterized by NMR, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), and single-crystal diffraction studies. Steady state and time-resolved spectral studies of BIBTB support excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT), causing imine-amine tautomerization through a two-way 6-membered H-bonded ring, where the N atoms of benzothiazole and the benzoimidazole unit are involved as proton acceptor sites. Interestingly, in a nonpolar and moderately polar solvent, photoisomerization in BIBTB is found to be favored toward the thiazole ring, whereas in a highly polar solvent, it is favored toward the imidazole ring. A spectral comparison of BIBTB with judicially designed molecules 2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-4-bromophenol (HBT) and 2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-4-bromophenol (BIB) supports these inferences. Theoretical calculation using the Density Functional Theory (DFT) at CAM-B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level supports the existence of two low-energy 6-membered hydrogen-bonded planar conformers in the ground state in the gas phase and in solvents of different dielectrics. The potential energy curves (PECs) calculated along the proton transfer (PT) coordinate are found to have a high energy barrier in the ground state and to be barrierless or have a low energy barrier in the excited state for both the forms. The calculated vertical excitation and the emission energy from the relaxed excited and PT states show good correlation with the experimental spectral data. Aggregation of BIBTB in water with red shifted emission was established from X-ray single-crystal structure analysis, solid state emission, and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) measurement. The molecule BIBTB also acts as a fluorescence probe for sensing the explosive picric acid in the subnano scale and can be used to determine the proportion of water in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvent.

High-Performance Porous Organic Polymers for Environmental Remediation of Toxic Gases.

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a harmful acidic gas generated from power plants and fossil fuel combustion and represents a significant health risk and threat to the environment. Benzimidazole-linked polymers (BILPs) have emerged as a promising class of porous solid adsorbents for toxic gases because of their chemical and thermal stability as well as the chemical nature of the imidazole moiety. The performance of BILPs in SO2 capture was examined by synergistic experimental and theoretical studies. BILPs exhibit a significantly high SO2 uptake of up to 8.5 mmol g-1 at 298 K and 1.0 bar. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations predict that this high SO2 uptake is due to the dipole-dipole interactions between SO2 and the functionalized polymer frames through O2S(δ+)···N(δ-)-imine and O═S═O(δ-)···H(δ+)-aryl and intermolecular attraction between SO2 molecules (O═S═O(δ-)···S(δ+)O2). Moderate isosteric heats of adsorption (Qst ≈ 38 kJ mol-1) obtained from experimental SO2 uptake studies are well supported by the DFT calculations (≈40 kJ mol-1), which suggests physisorption processes enabling rapid adsorbent regeneration for reuse. Repeated adsorption experiments with almost identical SO2 uptake confirm the easy regeneration and robustness of BILPs. Moreover, BILPs possess very high SO2 adsorption selectivity at low concentration over carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrogen (N2): SO2/CO2, 19-24; SO2/CH4, 118-113; SO2/N2, 600-674. This study highlights the potential of BILPs in the desulfurization of flue gas or other gas mixtures through capturing trace levels of SO2.

Design, Synthesis, and Antimicrobial Evaluation of Novel Sulfonamide Modified with Azoles

Abstract: Sulfonamide, imidazole, and triazole chemical nuclei possess good antimicrobial potential. This study aimed to amalgamate sulfonamide, imidazole, and triazole moieties in a single molecular framework with the intent of improving their antimicrobial activities. The objective of this study was the synthesis of conjugates containing sulfonamide and azole moieties along with in vitro and in silico evaluation as antimicrobial candidates. A series of sulfonamide-modified azoles (7a-r) was synthesized by multicomponent condensation of 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds, ammonium acetate and aryl-substituted aldehydes in glacial acetic acid. The structure of synthesized molecules was elucidated with the help of various spectroscopic techniques, such as FTIR, NMR, and HRMS. The target molecules were tested for in vitro antimicrobial potency against four bacterial strains and two fungal strains. Molecules 7c (MIC 0.0188 μmol/mL), 7f (MIC 0.0170 μmol/mL) and 7i (MIC 0.0181 μmol/mL) were most active against S. aureus and C. albicans. Against E. coli, molecules 7d (MIC 0.0179 μmol/mL), 7f (MIC 0.0170 μmol/mL) and 7i (MIC 0.0181 μmol/mL) were found to be highly active. Moreover, the binding conformations were investigated by insilico molecular docking, and QTAIM (Quantitative theory of atoms in the molecule) analysis was also performed. Molecular properties, such as the heat of formation, HOMO energy, LUMO energy and COSMO volume, were found to be in direct correlation with the antimicrobial potency of molecules 7c, 7f and 7i against S. aureus and C. albicans. All the synthesized molecules were more potent than clinically approved sulfonamides, namely sulfadiazine and sulfabenzamide.

A pyridyl-benzimidazole based ruthenium(II) complex as optical sensor: Targeted cyanide detection and live cell imaging applications

An extreme toxicity of cyanide (CN−) ion in diverse environmental media has encouraged significant attention for scheming well-organised molecular probes for its selective and sensitive detection. Keeping in mind, we present here a monometallic Ru(II) complex (Ru-1) based on 2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole moiety acting as a highly selective luminescent probe for CN− recognition in pure water. Besides, Ru-1 also acted as an efficient sensor for F−, AcO− and H2PO4− ions along with CN− when acetonitrile was chosen as solvent system. The binding constant (Kb) and detection limit (LoD) for CN− have been depicted as 3.05 × 106 M−1 and 12.8 nM, respectively, in water. The close proximity of N-H site with Ru(II) centre along with its remarkable acidity were identified as mainly responsible for the high selectivity of Ru-1 toward CN− in water. Job’s plot and DFT analyses were carried out to support the anion binding mechanism. Furthermore, the time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) spectroscopy was performed to assess the cyanide-induced emission lifetime change of Ru-1 in aqueous medium. In order to investigate applied potential, the probe Ru-1 was notably developed into paper-based strips that could readily detect CN− ion in mM range via naked eye under 365 nm light illumination, and also adequately employed to detect CN− in human breast cancer MCF-7 cell lines and natural food sources (such as apple seeds and sprouting potatoes).

High Sodium Ion Storage by Multifunctional Covalent Organic Frameworks for Sustainable Sodium Batteries.

Rechargeable sodium batteries hold great promise for circumventing the increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and the limited supply of lithium. However, efficient sodium ion storage remains a great impediment in this field. In this study, we report the designed synthesis of a multifunctional two-dimensional covalent organic framework featuring hexaazatrinaphthalene cores linked by imidazole moieties and demonstrate its effective performance in sodium ion storage. Benzimidazole-linked covalent organic framework (BCOF-1) was synthesized by a condensation reaction between hexaazatrinaphthalenehexamine (HATNHA) and terephthalaldehyde (TA) and exhibited a high theoretical specific capacity of 392 mA h g-1. BCOF-1 crystallizes, forming eclipsed AA stacking and mesoporous hexagonal one-dimensional channels with high surface area (840 m2 g-1), facilitating fast ionic mobility and charge transfer and enabling high-rate capability at high current rates. BCOF-1 exhibits pseudocapacitive-like behavior with a high specific capacity of 387 mA h g-1, an energy density of 302 W h kg-1 at 0.1 C, and a power density of 682 W kg-1 at 5 C. Our results demonstrate that redox-active COFs have the desired structural and electronic merits to advance the use of organic electrodes in sodium-ion storage toward sustainable and efficient batteries.

Organic room-temperature phosphorescence of imidazole-based films by self-assembly enhancement strategies

Organic room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) shows high potential in optical fields, and self-assembly method via various non-covalent interactions is one facile and efficient way to enhance RTP performance. Herein, we investigated the RTP behaviors of three imidazole-based polymer films containing imidazole, methyl imidazolium, and benzyl imidazolium moieties, respectively. Their RTP behaviors and chemical structures were compared and discussed to explore the underlying structure-properties relationships. Owing to plenty of hydrogen bonds of polyacrylamide matrix to lock phosphors, imidazolium-based films gave an obvious green RTP due to cations and iodine anions-enhanced intersystem crossing. The blue RTP signals of imidazole-containing film was aroused by coordination with Zn2+ ions due to crosslinking and heavy atom effects. Moreover, the RTP performance of benzyl imidazolium-based film was remarkably improved by host-guest complexation with cucurbit[7]uril, showing a long lifetime up to 230.6 ms. By utilizing the difference in their RTP lifetimes, information encryption application was successfully achieved as a proof of concept.

Tailored Tetrasubstituted Imidazole Carrying the Benzenesulfonamide Fragments as Selective Human Carbonic Anhydrase IX/XII Inhibitors.

A new series of tetrasubstituted imidazole carrying sulfonamide as zinc-anchoring group has been designed. The structures of the synthesized derivatives 5 a-l have been confirmed by spectroscopic analysis. These compounds incorporate an ethylenic spacer between the benzenesulfonamide and the rest of the trisubstituted imidazole moiety and were tested as inhibitors of carbonic anhydrases and for in-vitro cytotoxicity. Most of them act as effective inhibitors of the tumor-linked CA isoforms IX and XII, in nanomolar range. Also, different compounds have shown selectivity in comparable with the standard acetazolamide. Our IBS 5 d, 5 g, and 5 l (with Ki: 10.1, 19.4, 19.8 nM against hCA IX and 47, 45, 20 nM against hCA IX) showed the best inhibitory profile. In-vitro screening of all derivatives against a full sixty-cell-lined from NCI at a single dose of 10 μM offered growth inhibition of up to 45 %. Compound 5 b has been identified with the most potent cytotoxic activity and broad spectrum. Docking studies have also been implemented and were also in accordance with the biological outcomes. Our SAR analysis has interestingly proposed efficient tumor-related hCAs IX/XII suppression.
