The highly rigid and planar scaffolds with π-conjugated systems have been widely considered to be indispensable for β-amyloid (Aβ) binding ligands. In this study, a library of diphenoxy compounds with different types of more flexible linkers as Aβ ligands were synthesized and evaluated. Most of them displayed good affinity (Ki1-42aggregates, and some ligands even showed values of Kiless than 10 nM. Structure-activity relationship analysis revealed that modification on the linkers or substituents tolerated great flexibility, which challenged the long-held belief that rigid and planar structures are exclusively favored for Aβ binding. Three ligands were labeled by iodine-125, and they exhibited good properties in vitro and in vivo, which further supported that this flexible scaffold was potential and promising for the development of Aβ imaging agents.

We describe herein the synthesis and antileishmanial activity of 1,3-bis(aryloxy)propan-2-ols. Five compounds (2, 3, 13, 17, and 18) exhibited an effective antileishmanial activity against stationary promastigote forms of Leishmania amazonensis (IC50??15.0?μm), and an influence of compound lipophilicity on activity was suggested. Most of the compounds were poorly selective, as they showed toxicity toward murine macrophages, except 17 and 18, which presented good selective indexes (SI?≥?10.0). The five more active compounds (2, 3, 13, 17, and 18) were selected for the treatment of infected macrophages, and all of them were able to reduce the number of internalized parasites by more than 80%, as well as the number of infected macrophages by more than 70% in at least one of the tested concentrations. Altogether, these results demonstrate the potential of these compounds as new hits of antileishmanial agents and open future possibilities for them to be tested in in vivo studies.
Synthesis of PEG derivatives bearing aminophenyl and their application for liquid-phase synthesis of water-soluble unsymmetrical cyanine dyes

The synthesis and NMR characterization of soluble PEG-supported polymers were described, and their subsequent application for liquid-phase synthesis of water-soluble cyanine dyes was also studied. Nucleophilic substitution of tosylation of PEG 16 with 1,3-bis(4-nitrophenoxy)-2-propanol 15 under basic conditions, followed by nitro group reduction, gave PEG-bound aminophenyl 18. Another PEG-bound aminophenyl 28 was prepared by condensation reaction of PEG-bound pentaerythritol 25 and 4-aminobenzoic acid followed by the cleavage of BOC group. Subsequent loading and activation of sulfoindoleninium to PEG derivatives 18 or 28 were achieved via simple strategies. Cyanine dyes were released by the attack of heterocyclic carbon nucleophile and the cleavage of PEG-bound hemicyanine without the chromatographic separation. The efficient, facile, and practical approaches appear to be robust and versatile strategies to deliver not only indocyanine dyes but also benzoindocyanine dyes.
