Nesse estudo, foram preparadas bases poliméricas derivadas de 2,6-dimetilpiridinas e tereftaladeído utilizando a 2,4,6-trimetilpiridina como agente de reticulação. As resinas foram sintetizadas sob aquecimento convencional e purificadas por precipitação em metanol, apresentando rendimentos variando de 59 a 95%. Os copolímeros produzidos foram caracterizados por análise termogravimétrica (TGA), ressonância nuclear magnética de núcleo de hidrogênio (RMN-1H) e espectroscopia na região do infravermelho com técnica de ATR (FTIR - ATR), além de sua atividade básica. A capacidade catalítica do material produzido foi avaliada em reações nitroaldólicas, do tipo Henry, tanto em aquecimento convencional quanto com o uso de reator de micro-ondas. Não sendo observada atividade catalítica significativa para as resinas testadas, nestas reações. O material polimérico produzido também foi testado como suporte para cobre na catálise de reações de cicloadição heterodipolar do tipo [3+2] com benzilazida e propiolato de etila, para a formação de triazóis, processadas em reator de micro-ondas e sob aquecimento convencional. A reação mostrou-se regiosseletiva e processos de reciclo do catalisador se mostrou eficiente em reações consecutivas / In this study, polymeric bases from 2,6-dimethylpyridines and terephthaladehyde using 2,4,6-trimethylpyridine as crosslinking agent were prepared. The resins were synthesized under conventional heating, and purified by precipitation in methanol, with yields ranging 59-95%. The produced copolymers were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), infrared spectroscopy by attenuated total reflection (FTIR - ATR) and basic activity. The catalytic ability of the material produced was evaluated in nitroaldol reactions (Henry reactions) as both conventional heating and a microwave reactor. Catalytic activity was not observed for the tested resins in these reactions. The polymeric material produced was also tested as an activator in Heterodipolar [3 + 2] cycloaddition reactions, with benzyl azide and ethyl propiolate to the formation of triazoles, performed in microwave reactor and conventional heating. The reaction proved to be regioselective and recycling processes of the catalyst is efficient in consecutive reactions

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / Nesse trabalho foram realizadas reações de substituição nucleofílica (SN2), utilizando aquecimento térmico convencional e por irradiação de micro-ondas (MO), de alguns átomos cloro em amostras comerciais de poli(cloreto de vinila) (PVC), por grupos nitrila e também por grupos azida. Os grupos nitrila e azida foram substituidos na matriz em diferentes teores (10% e 20%). As reações do PVC com azida foram eficazes, apresentado percentuais de derivatização muito próximos dos valores desejados. Já no estudo com a nitrila não foi obtido o resultado esperado. Os copolímeros PVC azido substituídos foram modificados com propargilato de etila, sob catálise de iodeto de cuproso (CuI), para a obtenção de heterocíclicos do tipo triazólicos. Todos os copolímeros obtidos foram caracterizados por espectroscopia na região do infravermelho (FTIR) e os teores de nitrogênio incorporado foram determinados por análise elementar (AE). Através da análise dos dados obtidos, foi comprovado que a utilização da irradiação micro-ondas, quando comparada ao aquecimento convencional, é um processo mais seletivo e diminui, significativamente, os tempos de reação / In this work we had performed nucleophilic substitution reactions (Sn2) of some chlorine atoms in commercial samples of poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC), nitrile groups and also by azide groups, using both conventional thermal heating and microwave irradiation (MW).Nitrile and azide groups were replaced in the matrix at diverse levels (10% and 20%). The reactions of PVC with azide were effective, reaching a percentage derivatization very near to the desired values. In the study with the nitrile although we have not obtained the expected results. The substituted azido copolymers were modified with propargilato acetate, under catalysis of copper iodide (CuI) to obtain triazole heterocyclic type. All copolymers were labeled by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and nitrogen contents were determined by corporate elemental analysis (EA). Through analysis of the data obtained, it was verified that the use of microwave irradiation in comparison to conventional heating is a more selective process and reduces significantly reaction times

Récemment, le concept de chaperon pharmacologique a émergé pour le traitement des maladies lysosomales. Comme inhibiteurs réversibles de glycosidases mutantes impliquées dans ces maladies, les chaperons pharmacologiques sont capables, à des concentrations sub-inhibitrices, de sauver ces enzymes des mécanismes de destruction du réticulum endoplasmique (RE). Ainsi, une partie de l’activité enzymatique est restaurée. Les iminosucres sont connus pour être une classe importante de chaperons pharmacologiques. Au cours de ce travail de thèse, de nouvelles classes d’iminosucres mono- et multivalents ont été conçues et synthétisées. Nos objectifs étaient de mettre en évidence de nouveaux chaperons pour la β-glucocérébrosidase, impliquée dans la maladie de Gaucher, mais également d’identifier de nouveaux inhibiteurs des α-glucosidases du RE impliquées dans la destruction de la protéine déficiente chez les malades atteints de la mucoviscidose. Plusieurs stratégies ont été mises en œuvre: l’utilisation d’une méthodologie de diamination d’alcènes pallado-catalysée, d’une méthodologie permettant la synthèse rapide d’une bibliothèque de composés iminosucres par chimie click ou encore de la multivalence. Une étude poussée sur la multivalence et l’inhibition de glycosidases a également été réalisée en faisant varier des paramètres clés de la multivalence tels que la valence, la charpente, le linker, ou encore la nature des ligands iminosucres. Le premier exemple d’un effet multivalent puissant jusqu’à quatre ordre de grandeur sur l’inhibition de glycosidases a été mis en évidence avec des systèmes iminosucres multivalents basés sur des charpentes de type β-cyclodextrine et fullerène C60. / Recently an innovative concept for the treatment of lysosomal diseases as emerged called pharmacological chaperone. Pharmacological chaperones are reversible inhibitors of the deficient glycosidases involved in these diseases. These molecules are able, at sub-inhibitory concentrations, to stabilize the enzymes and rescue them from the destruction by the quality control system of the endoplasmic reticulum. A part of the catalytic activity of the enzyme could be restored. Iminosugars are known to be an important class of pharmaceutical chaperones. During this PhD work, novel classes of mono- and multivalent iminosugars were designed and synthesized in order to identify novel pharmacological chaperones for the glycosidase: β-glucocerebrosidase involved in Gaucher’s disease and novel inhibitors of the α-glucosidases involved in the destruction of the defective protein delF508CFTR in cystic fibrosis. Several strategies were applied to achieve this aim. These strategies consist in the use of a synthetic methodology of palladium catalyzed alkenes diamination, the use of an efficient methodology to synthesize a library of novel iminosugars by click chemistry and the use of multivalency. A full study on the impact of multivalency on glycosidases inhibition was also completed by changing crucial structural parameters including valency, scaffold, linker and ligand. The first strong multivalent effect on glycosidases inhibition up to four orders of magnitude was reported with multivalent iminosugars based on β-cyclodextrin or C60 fullerene cores.

Ce travail décrit une nouvelle route synthétique qui a pour objectif l'obtention de diblocs amphiphiles constitués uniquement d'oligosaccharides issus de xyloglucanes des graines de Tamarin. Les xylogluco-oligosaccharides (XGOs, DP7, 8, 9) de tailles parfaitement définies ont été obtenus par une digestion enzymatique contrôlée (cellulase) de xyloglucanes. Dans la perspective de lier les deux blocs par cycloaddition 1,3-dipolaire de Huisgen catalysée par le Cuivre I, dite aussi chimie « click », les XGOs ont subit une réaction d'amination réductrice assistée par micro-ondes. L'action de la propargylamine a permis d'intégrer en position réductrice du XGO la fonction alcyne et une peracétylation des focntions hydroxyles du sucre ont rendu ce bloc hydrophobe. D'un autre côté, l'azidoethylamine a permis d'insérer la fonction azoture et constitue le bloc hydrophile. Cette stratégie de synthèse a également été transposée à un oligosaccharide monodisperse (XGO, DP7) provenant de la dégalactosylation enzymatique du xyloglucane par l'action supplémentaire de la galactosidase d'Aspergillus Niger. Finalement, les diblocs amphiphilies ont été synthétisé aussi bien à partir des XGOs de DP7, 8, 9 (XGO-b-XGO,Ac), que du XGO DP7 (DP7-b-DP7,Ac). Leurs propriétés d'auto-assemblages dans l'eau ont été réalisées ainsi que leur caractérisation physico-chimique. Suite à des mesures de concentration micellaire critique (CMC) obtenus par spectroscopie de fluorescence du pyrène, nous avons observé que l'élimination des unités de galactose provoque une augmentation de la CMC. La détermination du diamètre des micelles en solution aqueuse a été réalisée grâce à la technique de diffusion de la lumière (DLS) et a été confirmée par microscopie électronique à transmission (MET). Des micelles sphériques d'une taille moyenne de 25 nm (XGO-b-XGO,Ac) et de 6 nm (DP7-b-DP7,Ac) ont été observées au MET. La digestion enzymatique partielle des micelles formés à partir du dibloc XGO-b-XGO,Ac dans l'eau, conduisant à la formation des micelles DP7-b-XGO,Ac a conduit à un système moins polydisperse et à une diminution de la taille moyenne du diamètre micellaire de l'ordre de 50% (déterminée par DLS). Des nanoparticules de gliadine et de zéine ont été préparées par désolvatation en utilisant le dibloc XGO-b-XGO,Ac comme surfactant en comparaison au surfactant commercial non-ionique, le Pluronic F68. Les résultats suggèrent la capacité du dibloc à stabiliser la protéine de zéine sous forme de nanoparticules sphériques et de façon relativement monodisperses. Les particules formées et stabilisées grâce à l'association de protéines d'origine végétale et d'un surfactant « biopolymérique » synthétisé uniquement par des oligosaccharides, apparaissent comme des systèmes idéaux, associant biocompatibilité, biodégradabilité et des origines naturelles et renouvelables. Ces systèmes peuvent tout à fait être valorisés pour la libération contrôlée de substances actives. / This work describes a new synthetic route to obtain fully oligosaccharides-based amphiphilic diblock copolymers, made from tamarind seeds xyloglucan. A mixture of well size-defined xyloglucooligosaccharides (XGO of 7, 8 and 9 carbohydrate units) were obtained from the cellulose-mediated enzymatic digestion of xyloglucanes. To perform the Huisgen click reaction the oligosaccharides were reducing end functionalized by azide and propargyl functions via microwave-catalyzed reductive amination. The hydrophobic block was obtained after peracetylation of alkyne-containing XGO. The amphiphilic co-oligomers were synthesized either from the mixture of xyloglucan oligosaccharides to give XGO-b-XGO,Ac, either from the monodisperse XGO of 7 carbohydrate units (DP7), obtained by a degalactosylation process involving another specific enzymatic hydrolysis (beta-galactosidase from Aspergillus Niger), to give DP7-b-DP7,Ac. The XGO-based diblocks were characterized according to the state-of-the-art in structural characterization (NMR, MS, FT-IR) and Soft Matter physico-chemistry (SLS, DLS, CMC, TEM) techniques. The removal of galactose units (DP7-b-DP7,Ac) conferred an increase in the critical micellar concentration value compared to XGO-b-XGO,Ac, which were determined by fluorescence spectroscopy. The size diameter of the micelles were carried out by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Spherical micelles with an average size of 25 nm for XGO-b-XGO,Ac and 6 nm DP7-b-DP7,Ac nanoparticles were observed by TEM. The partial enzymatic digestion of the shell constituting XGO-b-XGO,Ac micelles in water led to formation of DP7-b-XGO,Ac micelles with a lowest polydispersity and a decrease in the average size diameter by 50 %, as determined by DLS. XGO-b-XGO,Ac was tested as a nonionic block copolymer surfactant to stabilize zein and gliadin nanoparticles, which come from gluten of wheat and maize and were prepared by the method of desolvation. Its stabilizing properties were compared to Pluronic F68 surfactant belonging to poloxamers' family. The results suggest the suitability of the XGO-based diblock to stabilize zein aggregates, resulting in stable, monodisperse and spherical nanoparticles. Finally, this work proposed a system consisting in potential nanocarriers prepared from vegetable proteins stabilized by biosourced oligosaccharide surfactants.

Syfte Syftet är att undersöka hur detaljhandelsföretag inom modebranschen och dess kunder ser på “Return In-store” som ett returalternativ och även klargöra den miljöproblematik som finns relaterat till returer. Metod Denna studie är utförd med en kvalitativ forskningsmetod. Studien behandlar två perspektiv och undersöker problemet från företag och kunders synvinkel. Det empiriska materialet utgörs av den anledningen av fem personliga intervjuer med butikschefer inom detaljhandeln och två fokusgrupper med kunder. Slutsatser Studiens resultat visar att detaljhandelsföretag och kunder inom modebranschen anser att returalternativet “Return In-store” är det bästa alternativet vid returnering av varor köpta online. Kunder föredrar en generös returpolicy och ”Return In-store” är ett exempel på hur företag implementerar en sådan policy. Möjligheten att returnera en vara som köpts online i fysiska butiker reducerar även de orosmoment som annars kan uppstå för kunder vid returnering av varor. Företag gynnas framförallt av att ”Return In-store” driver fler kunder till butiken vilket ökar möjligheten till merförsäljning. Det främsta problemet med ”Return In-store” är att de butiker som erbjuder ”Click and Collect” inte är rustade för att hantera en stor mängd av sådana varor som beställs och lämnas tillbaka till butikerna. En avgörande del i hur stor miljöpåverkan ”Return In-store” har är de konsumentresor som uppstår. / Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine how retailers in the fashion industry and its customers view “Return In-store” as a return option and also clarify the environmental issues related to returns. Method Our study is based on a qualitative research method. The study takes both companies and customers point of view in consideration. Therefore, the empirical material consists of five personal interviews with retail managers and two focus groups with customers. Conclusions The result of our study shows that retailers and customers within the fashion industry regard “Return In-store” as the number one alternative when returning products bought online. Customers prefer a generous return policy which “Return In-store” is an example of. The ability to return online products in physical stores reduces some of the concerns that otherwise can occur when returning products in other ways. Retailers benefit from “Return In-store” since it increases the customer flow to the physical stores, which can generate additional sales. The foremost problem with “Return In-store” is that those stores that offer “Click and Collect” can’t handle a too high amount of products originated from e-commerce. A crucial part in the environmental impact of “Return In-store” is the consumer travels that occur when returning a product.

Malgré d’intenses recherches, le cancer reste une des causes principales de mortalité dans le monde. Le développement de nouveaux produits actifs pour le traitement des cancers est de plus en plus nécessaire. Nous avons décidé de préparer de nouveaux composés anti-angiogéniques dérivés du composé III.1 (ligand du complexe PDB : 1Y6A) dores et déjà testé cliniquement. Cinq d’entres eux ont pu être synthétisés en utilisant une réaction Click entre un ynamide et un azide. La réaction Click catalysée au cuivre a permis de préparer cinq de nos 1,2,3-triazole cibles avec une excellente régiosélectivité. Bien que l’activité de ces composés soit bien moins importante que celle du composé oxazolique III.1 dont elles sont dérivées, nous avons montré qu’ils sont des ligands spécifiques de VEGFR-2 kinase et qu’elles représentent une nouveauté structurale intéressante dans l’espace très protégé des inhibiteurs de tyrosine kinases. / Despite to the intensively research, cancer is still a leading cause of death worldwide. There are still developed new active compounds for cancer treatment. We have decided to prepare new antiangiogenic drugs based on already clinically tested III.1 from PDB complex 1Y6A. The in Silico-designed 1,2,3-triazole analogues of III.1 were prepared using a Click chemistry approach. In order to accomplish Click reactions two key building blocks: ynamides and azides were mandatory to synthetize. Copper catalyzed Click reactions were performed in very mild condition with quantitative regioselectivity. Five predicted triazolic compounds were prepared and sent for VEGFR-2 biologicall assays. Although the activities of triazolic compounds are significantly lower than the activities of their oxazolic isosters these compounds deliver structural novelty to IP crowded space of tyrosine kinase inhibitors. / Napriek intenzívnemu výskumu, rakovina stále patrí k najčastejším príčinám úmrtia na svete. Neustále sú vyvíjané nové aktívne látky na liečbu rakoviny. Rozhodli sme sa pripraviť nové antiangiogenetické liečivá na základe klinicky testovaného III.1 z PDB komplexu 1Y6A. In Silico navrhnuté 1,2,3-triazolové III.1 analógy boli pripravené prostredníctvom Click chémie. Za účelom uskutočnenia Click reakcie, bolo nevyhnutné pripraviť dva kľúčové stavebné jednotky: ínamidy a azidy. Meďou katalyzované Click reakcie boli uskutočnené vo veľmi jemných podmienkach s kvantitatívnou regioselektivitou. Bolo pripravených päť nových triazolových látok, ktoré boli zaslané na VEGFR-2 biologické testy. Aj keď sú aktivity triazolových derivátov výrazne nižšie ako aktivity oxazolvých izostérov, tak tieto zlúčeniny vnášajú do oblasti tyrozín kinázových inhibítorov, ktorá obsahuje už rôznorodé látky, štruktúrnu originalitu.

Nous avons développé une stratégie de synthèse basée sur la cycloaddition 1,3‐dipolaire catalysée par le Cu(I) pour la préparation de LCPs et LCEs. Nous avons considéré deux approches. La première consiste en l’élaboration des monomères (protomésogènes) portant des fonctionnalités alcynes terminaux et des molécules portant des groupements azurés suivi de leur réaction selon un procédé en une seule étape. Dans la seconde approche, la formation du "protomésogène" se fait in situ lors de la réaction de cycloaddition (polymerisation) à partir de blocs complémentaires portant des fonctionnalités alcynes et azurés. Tous les composés synthétisés ont été caractérisés par des techniques classiques d'analyses chimiques ou physiques (élastomères). Dans tous les cas, les analyses thermiques (ATG et DSC) ont été menées afin de déterminer l’existence de mésophases et la stabilité des produits, et le cas échéant, les propriétés mésomorphes ont été analysées par POM et SAXS. / In this work we have developed a new strategy based on the Cu(I)‐catalyzed 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition between azides and alkynes for the preparation of a variety of LCPs and LCEs. Two approaches are presented. The first one consists in clicking together appropriate alkyne‐difunctionalized potential mesogens with azide‐difunctionalized spacers (polymers) and crosslinker (elastomers) in a one‐pot procedure. In an alternative approach, the potential mesogens are formed in situ during the polymerization procedure by cliking prefunctionalized building blocks bearing alkyne and azide functions. All of the samples were chemically or physically (elastomers) characterized by typical analysis. Their thermal behavior was investigated by using techniques such as ATG and DSC and where necessary (mesomorphic materials) by using POM and SAXS.

Les complexes collecteurs de lumière des bactéries photosynthétiques absorbent l'énergie solaire, et transfèrent l'énergie avec grande efficacité aux centres réactionnels, siùge où elle est captée pour l'utilisation par la cellule. Nous savons peu des détails du transfert d'énergie entre les différents complexes collecteurs de lumière. Dans cette thèse, j'ai isolé différents complexes collecteurs de lumière à partir de plusieurs souches de bactéries pourpres. J'ai construit de modèles 3D par homologie et les structures possibles de dimères ont également été examinés. Les sites de pontage dans ces protéines montrent la possibilité de construire des dimères avec des structures biologiquement pertinentes. J'ai développé un protocole pour construire de dimères de protéines collectrices de lumière fortement oligomériques. Le protocole que j'ai mis en place contient trois grandes étapes : d'abord la réaction de lysines dans les complexes à un très faible degré de réaction, et la purification des protéines marquées. Ensuite, les groupes réactifs de dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO) ou de l'azoture sont introduits au complexe. Finalement, la réaction sans cuivre de cycloaddition azoture-alcyne promue par distorsion a pour conséquence la synthèse de dimères. / The light harvesting apparatus of photosynthetic bacteria absorb the energy from sunlight and transfer the energy with high efficiency to the reaction center, where it is captured for use by the cell. We know little about the details of energy transfer between different light-harvesting complexes. In this thesis I isolated several different types of light-harvesting complex from various stains of purple bacteria. 3D models were built, based on homology modeling, and possible dimer structures were examined. The cross linking sites in these protein shown the possiblity of forming biologically relevant dimer structures. I have developed a protocol to make dimers, from highly oligomeric light harvesting proteins. The protocol developed contains three main steps: first reaction of lysines in the complex at a very low degrees of reaction and purifying the labelled protein. Then coupling the reactive groups of dibenzylcyclootyne (DBCO) or of azide separately to the different complexes. Finally, the copper free strain promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction occurred to synthesize the dimer.
