RETRACTED ARTICLE: IspH inhibitors kill Gram-negative bacteria and mobilize immune clearance

Isoprenoids are vital for all organisms, in which they maintain membrane stability and support core functions such as respiration1. IspH, an enzyme in the methyl erythritol phosphate pathway of isoprenoid synthesis, is essential for Gram-negati

π-Interactions as a tool for an easy deposition of meso- tetraferrocenylporphyrin on surfaces

A bottom-up approach was employed to prepare novel Self-Assembled Monolayers (SAMs) in which a naphthyl moiety acted as a "π-binder" for unfunctionalised meso-tetraferrocenylporphyrin (H2TFcP). Four naphthalene derivatives with an appropriate functional group were synthesized and SAMs were prepared both on gold and ITO surfaces. Mixed H 2TFcP-naphthalene films were thoroughly characterized using UV-Vis, XPS and electrochemical techniques. In particular, angle-dependent XPS experiments revealed an almost perpendicular orientation of the porphyrin on surfaces, suggesting that an intercalation occurred among naphthalene units. A large amount of porphyrin was deposited on both the surfaces (in the order of 10-10 mol × cm-2), comparable to that afforded by more conventional covalent linkages. However, significant differences in homogeneity between SAMs on gold and ITO resulted in a diverse electrochemical behaviour. The electrochemical activity of the oxidised porphyrin was restored by prolonged exposure of the modified gold electrode (tens of seconds) to a negative potential, whereas no response was detected after the same treatment on ITO. This novel approach provides a general and versatile strategy to bind meso-substituted porphyrins on a pre-formed monolayer without the necessity for further functionalisations.

ortho-halogeno substituents effect in asymmetric cyclization of 4-aryl-4-pentenals using a rhodium catalyst

Asymmetric cyclization of 4-aryl-4-pentenals by using a cationic [Rh((R)-BINAP)]ClO4 afforded (3R)-3-substituted cyclopentanones; on the other hand, the cyclization of 4-pentenals bearing ortho-halogeno phenyl groups afforded the opposite (3S)-ones.
