Synthesis and applications of novel resorcin[4]arene cavitandsLeaym, Xiaoxuan January 1900 (has links)
Doctor of Philosophy / Department of Chemistry / Stefan Bossmann / A series of methylene-bridged resorcin[4]arenes featuring electrochemically active and hydrophilic viologene-units chemically attached to their "rim"-regions have been synthesized. Depending on the choices of pendent groups (feet) and the numbers of positive charges on the "rim" (four or eight), moderate to very good solubilities in water were obtained. A fluorescent coumarin tag designed for the purpose of photophysical studies was chemically linked to the feet of some of the synthesized resorcin[4]arenes.
These compounds were designed to act as guests in mycobacterial channel proteins (channel blockers). The proven host-guest interaction between resorcin[4]arenes and the mycobacterial porin MspA suggests potential application of my research in TB treatment. Both, hydrophilic nutrients and metabolites have to diffuse through the porin channels of mycobacteria because of the lack of an active transport mechanism. If these channels are successfully blocked, the mycobacteria have either to synthesize new channels, which make their outer membrane more susceptible to conventional antibiotics, or they become dormant.
(3,3'-dimethyl)-4,4'-bipyridinium units are very suitable electron relays. They can be reduced stepwise to viologen monoradical cations and then to uncharged viologen diradicals which possess highly negative redox potentials, allowing them to reduce C-Cl bonds. Therefore, the deep cavitand viologen resorcin[4]arenas, are expected to bind and detoxify chlorinated hydrocarbons by reductive dechlorination. In this work, the step wise reduction process of viologen- resorcin[4]arenes and the formation of negative redox potentials of double-reduced viologen resorcin[4]arenes are demonstrated by electrochemistry studies. These results encourage future studies toward an efficient electrocatalytic system for the reductive dehalogenation of organic compounds.
Besides highly charged resorcin[4]arene cavitands, the synthesis of a thiol-footed resorcin[4]arene was also attempted. The product was used for gold nanoparticle binding studies. The results of the photochemistry measurements provided a proof-of-concept for using the emission of gold nanoparticles in chemical sensors after covering their surfaces with thiol-footed resorcin[4]arenes.
Two heterocylic resorcin[4]arene cavitands were synthesized for DNA-intercalation studies. The results of the photochemical measurements suggested binding between DNA and the heterocyclic resorcin[4]arenes and provided proof-of-principle for potential drug applications of this type of macrocycle.

Darstellung und Verwendung von Nucleolipiden zur Lipophilisierung von Nucleinsäuren sowie deren Wechselwirkung und Duplex-Bildung an horizontalen Lipid-Bilayers und Phasengrenzen zur Entwicklung einer neuartigen RNA/DNA-Analytik / Synthesis and Application of Nucleolipids for the Lipophilization of Nucleic Acids and Their Interaction and Duplex Formation at Horizontal Lipid-Bilayers and Phase Boundaries for the Development of a Novel RNA/DNA AnalyticsWerz, Emma 17 February 2016 (has links)
Ziel der vorgestellten Arbeit war die Synthese von Nucleolipiden zur Lipophilisierung von Oligonucleotiden sowie deren Untersuchung im Hinblick auf ihre Wechselwirkung und Duplex-Bildung an horizontalen Lipidmembranen und verschiedenen Phasengrenzen zur Entwicklung eines neuartigen Bio-Chips für die RNA/DNA-Analyse.
Mit der Synthese N(3)-prenylierter und 2’,3’-O-ketalisierter Pyrimidinbasen Uridin und Methyluridin wurden Nucleolipid-Bausteine dargestellt, die auch als terminale Kopfgruppen eines Oligonucleotid-Dodecamers den lipophilen Charakter dieser Oligonucleotid-Sequenz erhöhten. Für den Einsatz solcher LONs (Lipo-Oligonucleotide) in einer vereinfachten RNA/DNA-Analytik wurde eine Vielzahl von Lipo-Oligonucleotiden mit diversen Nucleolipid-Kopfgruppen synthetisiert und auf ihr Einlagerungsverhalten in künstliche Lipid-Bilayer untersucht. Fluoreszenz-spektroskopische Untersuchungen zeigten, dass alle Lipo-Oligonucleotide in der Lage sind, sich in künstliche Lipid-Bilayer einzulagern. Abhängig von der Struktur, der Länge und der Anzahl der C-Atom-Ketten dieser lipophilen Anker-Bausteine wurden die Geschwindigkeit und die Festigkeit der Verankerung im Lipid-Bilayer beeinflusst.
Des Weiteren wurde die Hybridisierung von LONs mit komplementären Oligomeren an Lipidmembranen untersucht. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die im Bilayer verankerten Lipo-Oligonucleotide mit komplementären Oligomeren DNA-Duplexe bilden. Die hybridisierte DNA wurde nicht nur über einen kovalent gebundenen Cy5-Fluorophor am Gegenstrang nachgewiesen, sondern auch über den DNA-Interkalator SYBR Green I (SG).
Am Beispiel von zwei Lipo-Oligonucleotiden (LON 20 und 23), die sich schnell und fest in der Bilayermembran verankern, konnte eine spontane Akkumulation dieser LONs an CHCl3/H2O sowie H2O/n-Decan Grenzflächen direkt nach der Probenzugabe beobachtet werden. Diese und andere Ergebnisse stützen den Einsatz von Lipo-Oligonucleotiden als Ziel-Oligomere in einem neuartigen RNA/DNA-Nachweisverfahren an Phasengrenzen.
