7-Epiclusianone, a natural prenylated benzophenone, was extracted from Garcinia brasiliensis Planch. & Triana (Clusiaceae), a native plant commonly known as bacupari and used in traditional Brazilian medicine for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. As a result of the wide spectrum of biological
Benzophenone metabolism provides a number of plant natural products with fascinating chemical structures and intriguing pharmacological activities. Formation of the carbon skeleton of benzophenone derivatives from benzoyl-CoA and three molecules of malonyl-CoA is catalyzed by benzophenone synthase
Benzophenone derivatives, such as polyprenylated benzoylphloroglucinols and xanthones, are biologically active secondary metabolites. The formation of their C13 skeleton is catalyzed by benzophenone synthase (BPS; EC 2.3.1.151) that has been cloned from cell cultures of Hypericum androsaemum. BPS is
Type III polyketide synthases (PKSs) generate a diverse array of secondary metabolites by varying the starter substrate, the number of condensation reactions, and the mechanism of ring closure. Among the starter substrates used, benzoyl-CoA is a rare starter molecule. Biphenyl synthase (BIS) and
The entrapment of two hydrophobic molecules, benzophenone and tamoxifen, into self-assembling cyclodextrin (CD)-based nanogels has been studied. These nanogels formed spontaneously upon the association of a hydrophobically modified dextran (MD) and a cyclodextrin polymer (pbetaCD). The interactions
A new solid based on C-methylcalix[4]resorcinarene and the linker molecule bis(4-pyridylmethylidyne)hydrazine (bpmh) has been prepared, in which brick-wall sheets are linked in the third dimension to give networks with three intersecting perpendicular channels; the networks interpenetrate
Chloro-(eta6-arene) complexes of ruthenium(II) with N-sulfonyl-1,2-ethylenediamine ligands that have one or two styrene side chains have been synthesised and characterised. The chloro ligand was substituted with a diphenylphosphinato ligand and the resulting organometallic complexes are transition
Certain antimicrotubule agents displaying colchicine-like tubulin-depolymerizing activity can act as both cytotoxic and vascular-disrupting agents (VDAs). VDAs constitute a new class of anticancer drugs and are currently in clinical trials. We have developed a VDA clinical candidate (phase II)
Benzoic acid-derived compounds, such as polyprenylated benzophenones and xanthones, attract the interest of scientists due to challenging chemical structures and diverse biological activities. The genus Hypericum is of high medicinal value, as exemplified by H. perforatum. It is rich in benzophenone
Pentaketide chromone synthase (PCS) and octaketide synthase (OKS) are novel plant-specific type III polyketide synthases (PKSs) obtained from Aloe arborescens. Recombinant PCS expressed in Escherichia coli catalyzes iterative condensations of five molecules of malonyl-CoA to produce a pentaketide
We describe the synthesis and characterization of six bridged molecular gyroscopes with m-alkoxy-substituted trityl stators and dialkynylphenylene rotators. All of the bridged molecular gyroscopes were synthesized convergently to form the phenolic stator-rotator framework, while the alkyl and
Biocompatibility constitutes the most fundamental requirement with respect to all dental materials to be applied within the oral cavity. In its environment, various toxic compounds may be released by dental materials which pose potential threats to the patient's health. Due to the fact that dentures
A detailed study of the luminescence decay curves of pyrene included within p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene cavities and benzophenone into silicalite channels is reported. A new methodology for a lifetime distribution analysis of the decay curve of probes onto heterogeneous surfaces is presented, which
New nanoassemblies were instantaneously prepared by mixing two aqueous solutions, one containing a beta-cyclodextrin polymer (pbetaCD), and the other a hydrophobically modified by alkyl chains dextran (MD). The formation mechanism and the inner structure of these nanoassemblies were analysed using
The aim of this work was to incorporate a hydrophobic compound benzophenone (BP) into core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) and to study its release. The core of these NPs is based on polylactic acid (PLA) and serves as a nanocontainer to accommodate BP. The shell is constituted of a β-cyclodextrin polymer
