Synthetic assembly within living cells represents an innovative way to explore purely chemical tools that can direct and control cellular behavior. We use a simple and modular platform that is broadly accessible and yet incorporates highly intricate molecular recognition, immolative, and rearrangement chemistry. Short bimodular peptide sequences undergo a programmed sequence of events that can be tailored within the living intracellular environment. Each sequential stage of the pathways beginning with the cellular uptake, intracellular transport, and localization imposes distinct structural changes that result in the assembly of fibrillar architectures inside cells. The observation of apoptosis, which is characterized by the binding of Annexin V, demonstrates that programmed cell death can be promoted by the peptide assembly. Higher complexity of the assemblies was also achieved by coassembly of two different sequences, resulting in intrinsically fluorescent architectures. As such, we demonstrate that the in situ construction of architectures within cells will broaden the community's perspective toward how structure formation can impact a living system.
Studies towards dynamic kinetic resolution of 4-hydroxy-2-methylcyclopent-2-en-1-one and its E-O-trityloxime

Dynamic kinetic resolution through metal complex induced racemization and Candida antarctica lipase mediated enantioselective acetylation of a model hydroxy-ketone: 4-hydroxy-2-methylcyclopent-2-en-1-one and its selected derivatives, has been studied. Racemization of the hydroxy-ketone was efficiently affected by [RuCl2(cymene)]2complex–triethylamine while Shvo's catalyst triggered an intramolecular redox process. Kinetic resolution of 4-hydroxy-2-methylcyclopent-2-en-1-one with C. antarctica under conditions compatible with [RuCl2(cymene)]2racemization failed to reach the efficiency threshold. However, dynamic kinetic resolution of its O-trityloxime using [RuCl2(cymene)]2–triethylamine and C. antarctica lipase–isopropenyl acetate combination, was successfully achieved.
2-[(arylmethoxy)imino]imidazolidines with potential biological activities

A series of 2-[(arylmethoxy)imino]imidazolidines was synthesized by reacting 2-chloro-4,5-dihydroimidazole with corresponding O- arylmethylhydroxylamines and evaluated for their α1-, α2-adrenergic and imidazoline I1, I2 receptor binding affinities. The most potent 2-[(naphthalen-1-ylmethoxy)imino] imidazolidine showed a high selectivity and good affinity for the [ 3H]prazosin-labeled α1-adrenoceptors (Ki = 107 nM). Representative compounds of this series were also tested in vivo for possible circulatory effects in rats after intravenous administration.
