Gemäß der Zielstellung der Dissertation wurden verschiedene partiell tert.-Butyl- (TBU) und tert.-Butyloxycarbonyl- (Boc) geschützte Blockcopolymere auf der Basis von Poly(4-hydroxystyrol) mit engen Molmassenverteilungen sowie mit verschiedenen Blockzusammensetzungen dargestellt. Die Synthese dieser partiell TBU- und Boc-geschützten Blockcopolymere umfasste drei wesentliche Schritte: 1) Darstellung von Makroinitiatoren mittels NMRP, 2) Synthese von orthogonal geschützten Precursor-Blockcopolymeren durch Reinitiierung der Makroinitiatoren in Gegenwart eines weiteren orthogonal geschützten Monomeren und 3) orthogonale und quantitative polymeranaloge Umsetzungen ausgehend von den orthogonal geschützten Precursor-Blockcopolymeren. Mit den partiell TBU- und Boc-geschützten Blockcopolymeren wurden dünne Polymerfilme mittels „dip-coating“ präpariert. Die Untersuchung der Topographie und Morphologie der Filme erfolgte mit dem AFM. Aus den erhaltenen Topographie- und Phasenverschiebungsbildern ging eindeutig hervor, dass die verschiedenen Blöcke der jeweiligen partiell TBU- und Boc-geschützten Blockcopolymere in allen Polymerfilmen phasensepariert vorlagen. Reguläre Mikrostrukturen konnten allerdings nur bei den Polymerfilmen erhalten werden, deren Blockcopolymere sich allesamt durch asymmetrische Blockzusammensetzungen auszeichnen. Auf der Grundlage des statistischen Modellpolymeren Poly(styrol-r-4-hydroxystyrol) konnte ferner gezeigt werden, dass sich die phenolischen Hydroxylgruppen durch die Umsetzung mit Propargylbromid quantitativ in Propargylether-Gruppen umwandeln lassen und diese dann ihrerseits mit Hilfe der Cu(I)-katalysierten 1,3-dipolaren Cycloaddition (Click-Chemie) weiter mit einer Reihe von verschiedenen Aziden funktionalisiert werden können.

Triazenido ions are isoelectronic to amidinato anions,[R'N C(R)=NR']- and have a broad versatility in coordination chemistry. Metal complexes including triazenido ligands find applications in various areas of chemistry. Triazenes and complexes including triazole derivatives show extensive applicability as for example in supramolecular chemistry and pharmacological compounds. This work presents deals with the study of new triazene derivatives with triazole substituents resulting from the click reactions, acting as ligands in complexes with Cu(I), Cu(II) and Au(I). The following ligands 1,3-bis(2-azidophenyl)triazene (2), 1-(methyl)-3-(2-(4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazole)triazene-N-oxide (4), 1-(phenyl)-3-(2-(4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazole)triazene (5), 1,3-bis(2-(4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazole)triazene (6) and, complexes 1,3-bis(2-azidophenyl)triazenide-κN11- triphenylphosphine-gold(I) (2a), bis-{1-(methyl)-3-[2-(4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazole-κN2)]triazenide-1-oxide-κ2N3,O}copper(II) (4b), 1-(phenyl)-3-(2-(4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazole)triazenide-κN- triphenylphosphine-κP-gold(I) (5a), 1,3-bis(2-(4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazole)triazenide-κN- triphenylphosphine-κP-gold(I) (6a), bis[1,3-bis(2-(4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazole-κN2)-μ-N3-triazenide]-κN11,κN13 copper(I)κN13,κN11´copper(I) (Cu Cu) (6b) were investigated. The compounds were characterized by IR, UV-Vis and NMR (1H e 13C) spectroscopy, low or high resolution mass spectrometry (EI, ESI, ESI(+)-TOF and ESI(-)-TOF) and X-ray diffraction on single crystal. Triazene (2) and complex (2a) exhibit intramolecular assembling through classical and non-classical hydrogen bonding. Complexes with Au(I), (2a), (5a) e (6a), the metal atom show linear coordination geometry. The metal atom in complex (6b) shows a T distorted coordination geometry, which is extended to a quadratic coordination resulting from d10 d10 interactions between Cu(I) ions. Triazene (6) and its respective complexes (6a) e (6b) exhibit intermolecular interactions of the type C−H···M. Antibacterial activity of triazene (5) and complex (5a) were assayed resulting to be inactive against the bacteria tested. / Os compostos triazenidos são isoeletrônicos a íons amidinatos [R'NH C(R)=NR'], e têm sido usados com sucesso na química de coordenação. A complexação a íons metálicos possibilita a sua aplicação em diversas áreas da química. Assim como os triazenos, os triazóis possuem vasta aplicabilidade, desde a química supramolecular até a área farmacológica.

Os complexos de Au(I), (2a), (5a) e (6a) possuem geometria de coordenação linear. O complexo (6b) apresenta uma geometria T distorcida, a qual é estendida para quadrática pela interação d10 d10 entre os átomos de Cu(I), o triazeno (6) e seus complexos (6a) e (6b) apresentam ainda ligações intermoleculares do tipo C−H···M. Foi testada a atividade antibacteriana do triazeno (5) e o complexo (5a), os quais mostraram-se inativos frente às bactérias testadas.

Lors de la production industrielle du biocarburant éthyl tert-butyl éther (ETBE), cet éther forme un azéotrope contenant 20 % d'éthanol. Comparé à la distillation ternaire utilisée pour la purification de l'ETBE, le procédé membranaire de pervaporation pourrait offrir une alternative intéressante et d'importantes économies d'énergie. Des membranes cellulosiques ont principalement été décrites pour cette application. En particulier, la sélectivité de l'acétate de cellulose (CA) était extrêmement élevée mais son flux trop faible. Dans cette thèse, différentes stratégies de greffage ont été explorées pour améliorer ses propriétés membranaires. La première a mis en œuvre la chimie "click" pour le greffage d'oligomères polylactide, conduisant à des membranes bio-sourcés originales pour cette application. Le greffage de liquides ioniques (LIs) a ensuite été étudié, initialement par chimie "click" (échec dû à des réactions secondaires) puis par une autre stratégie en 2 étapes impliquant une simple substitution nucléophile. Une seconde série de matériaux cellulosiques a été obtenue avec des LIs contenant un même anion bromure et différents cations (imidazolium, pyridinium ou ammonium) de polarité croissante. Une troisième série de nouveaux matériaux membranaires a ensuite été développée en échangeant l'anion bromure par différents anions Tf2N-, BF4-, and AcO-. Les propriétés membranaires de tous les matériaux greffés ont finalement été évaluées sur la base du modèle de sorption-diffusion, révélant que la sorption et la pervaporation étaient conjointement améliorées par les différentes stratégies de greffage développées. / During the industrial production of ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE) biofuel, this ether forms an azeotropic mixture containing 20 wt% of ethanol. Compared to the ternary distillation currently used for ETBE purification, the pervaporation membrane process could offer an interesting alternative and important energy savings. Cellulosic membranes have been mainly reported for this application. In particular, the selectivity of cellulose acetate (CA) was outstanding but its flux was too low. In this work, different grafting strategies were developed for improving the CA membrane properties for ETBE purification. The first strategy used "click" chemistry to graft CA with polylactide oligomers leading to original bio-based membranes for the targeted application. The grafting of ionic liquids onto CA was then investigated first by "click" chemistry (unsuccessful due to side reactions) and then by another two-step strategy implying simple nucleophilic substitution. A second series of cellulosic materials was obtained by grafting different ionic liquids containing the same bromide anion and different cations (imidazolium, pyridinium or ammonium) with increasing polar feature. A third series of new membrane materials was finally developed by exchanging the bromide anion with different anions Tf2N-, BF4-, and AcO-. The membrane properties of all grafted CA membranes were finally assessed on the basis of the sorption-diffusion model, which revealed that both sorption and pervaporation properties were improved by the different grafting strategies

Le sujet de cette thèse concerne l'élaboration depolymères hydrophiles biocompatibles et fonctionnelspour la stabilisation et la bio-fonctionnalisation denanoparticules d’oxyde de fer en vue d'une utilisation entant qu’agents de contraste en imagerie par résonancemagnétique et/ou en tant que vecteurs de principesactifs ou de thérapie génique. Pour ce travail de thèse,l'objectif a été de fonctionnaliser des poly(oxyded'éthylène)s (POE) commerciaux, connus pour leurspropriétés d'hydrophilie, de biocompatibilité et defurtivité par un groupement acide phosphonique, pourchélater les nanoparticules d'oxyde de fer, et par ungroupement furane, susceptible de réagir avec desbiomolécules à fonctionnalité maléimide, facilementaccessibles, selon une réaction de Diels-Alderthermoréversible.Des POEs à extrémité acide phosphonique et àfonctionnalité furane ont été synthétisés selon deuxstratégies originales combinant des réactionsd’Atherton-Todd ou de Kabachnik-Fields et lacycloaddition 1,3-dipolaire de Huisgen, réaction dechimie « click » très efficace, orthogonale, spécifique etréalisée dans des conditions douces.Les POEs obtenus ont ensuite été greffés à la surfacede nanoparticules d’oxyde de fer selon la stratégie‘grafting onto’. L’efficacité des POEs à stabiliser lesnanoparticules d’oxyde de fer a été mise en évidence.De plus, les tests de cytotoxicité ont montré que cessystèmes sont biocompatibles. De plus, lesnanoparticules d’oxyde de fer, une fois greffées, ontconservé leurs propriétés de relaxivité autorisant leurutilisation en imagerie médicale. Enfin, l’aptitude de cesnanoparticules fonctionnalisées par des groupementsfurane à immobiliser des molécules à fonctionnalitémaléimide a été mise en évidence ainsi que lapossibilité ultérieure à libérer ces molécules sous effetd’un stimulus thermique. Ce comportement réversibleouvre des perspectives tout à fait intéressantes dans ledomaine de la vectorisation de principes actifs. / The objective of this thesis was the preparation ofbiocompatible hydrophilic functionalized polymers forthe stabilization and bio-functionalization of iron oxidenanoparticles (IONPs) for biomedical applications suchas contrast agents in magnetic resonance imagingand/or targeted drug delivery. In this work, commerciallyavailable poly(ethylene oxide)s (PEO), which havehydrophilic, biocompatibility and furtivity properties havebeen functionalized by a phosphonic acid group, thatstrong anchors on IONPs, and by a furan group that canbe coupled to maleimide-terminated biomolecules by athermoreversible Diels-Alder reaction.Phosphonic acid-terminated PEOs fonctionalized by afurane group were synthesized according to two originalstrategies combining an Atherton-Todd or a Kabachnik-Fields reaction and a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction.This latter reaction, also named ‘click’ reaction, ischaracterized by high yields, simple reaction conditions,fast reaction times, and high selectivity.These PEOs were attached to the IONPs surface usingthe 'grafting onto' strategy. The subsequent polymerstabilizedIONPs were characterized, proving thepresence of polymers on IONPs surfaces. Cytotoxicitystudies revealed that the IONPs carriers werebiocompatible. In addition, studies on the protontransverse relaxation enhancement properties of thesestabilized IONPs indicated high relaxivities in the samerange as iron oxide based commercially availablecontrast agents. Finally, polymer-stabilized IONPs weresuccessfully functionalized by maleimide-functionalizedmolecules according to the Diels-Alder reaction and thesubsequent release of these molecules via a thermalstimulus has been proven. Consequently, this type ofcontrolled-release system could be expanded to drugtherapy responding to external stimuli.

De acordo com a Organização Mundial de Saúde (World Health Organization - WHO), aproximadamente 40 milhões de pessoas ao redor do mundo estão infectadas com HIV/AIDS. Atualmente, a epidemia tem sido controlada em grande parte do mundo ocidental, porém, projeções sugerem que, até o fim desta década, o número de incidência da doença poderá duplicar. Apesar das significantes melhoras na morbidade e mortalidade de pacientes infectados pelo HIV, o rápido surgimento de cepas resistentes aos agentes anti-HIV, além dos efeitos adversos e o alto custo de fármacos de última geração, torna-se necessário o continuo desenvolvimento de novas classes de agentes anti-HIV. A transcrição e multiplicação do RNA viral são dependentes das interações seqüência-específica entre duas proteínas reguladoras virais essenciais, Tat e Rev, com seus respectivos sítios no RNA, TAR e RRE. Durante a última década, os aminoglicosídeos foram introduzidos como ligantes universais do RNA, sendo capazes de se ligar ao TAR e ao RRE. A literatura apresenta diversos aminoglicosídeos que são capazes de se ligar ao TAR e inibir a interação Tat-TAR bem como, inibir competitivamente a ligação da proteína Rev ao RRE, como, por exemplo, a neomicina e tobramicina. Considerando a importância dos aminoglicosídeos e análogos nucleosídicos, conhecidamente eficazes na terapia antirretroviral, o trabalho foi direcionado para a síntese de conjugados de aminociclitol, 2- desoxi-estreptramina, e adenosina, bem como, dímeros de adenosina via estratégia de click chemistry por reação de cicloadição azido-alcino catalisada por Cu(I) (CuAAC). Para a síntese destes produtos, o precursor adenosina foi convertido no derivado 5\'-azido-5\'- desoxi-adenosina, o qual foi condensado com diversos diinos terminais comerciais, contendo diferentes grupos espaçantes, com a finalidade de explorar suas influências nas propriedades eletrônicas e estéricas nos conjugados de interesse frente à atividade anti-HIV. Os derivados alcinos presentes na posição C-5\' de adenosina, via grupo triazol, foram empregados para a síntese dos monômeros nucleosídeo-aminociclitóis, assim como, na síntese de dímeros nucleosíde0-aminociclitóis, via reação de cicloadição 1,3-dipolar, na presença de CuSO4, quantidade catalítica, e ascorbato de sódio, para geração in situ de Cu(I). Adicionalmente, alguns dos compostos, na concentração de 1mM, foram testados empregando o ensaio de ELISA para detecção da presença de proteína viral p24 em linhagem células H9 e avaliação de sua atividade antirretroviral. De acordo com o ensaio biológico, um dos compostos preparados apresentou, proporcionalmente ao crescimento da linhagem H9 (HIV) controle, atividade de inibição de formação da proteína viral p24 similar ao composto padrão zidovudina (AZT). Além disso, outros dois compostos também apresentaram um resultado relevante uma vez que suas atividades foram similares ao composto padrão lamivudina (3TC). Estes resultados sugerem que a presença de uma cadeia metilênica mais extensa, como cadeia lateral ou grupo espaçante, pode influenciar positivamente a atividade biológica por efeito hidrofóbico ou estérico. Por fim, os ensaios de viabilidade celular demonstraram que os compostos testados não foram citotóxicos nas condições testadas. / According to World Health Organization - WHO about 40 million of people are infected with HIV/AIDS. Currently, the epidemic has been controlled largely in the western world, since, projections suggest that, until this decade end, the disease incidence could increase. Despite significant improvements in morbidity and mortality of HIV-patients, quick emergence of resistant strains to anti-HIV agents, in addition to adverse effects and high cost of recent drugs, becomes necessary the ongoing development of new classes of HIV agents. Transcription and translation of the viral RNA are dependent of sequence-specific interactions among two essential viral regulatory proteins, Tat and Rev, and their corresponding TAR and RRE sites in HIV-1 RNA. Over the past decade, aminoglycosides were established as universal RNA linkers, being able to link to TAR and RRE. The literature reports several aminoglycosides that bind to TAR and inhibit Tat-TAR interaction, as well as, competitively inhibit the bind between Rev protein and RRE, such as: neomycin and tobramycin. Considering the importance of nucleosides analogs, effective in antiretroviral therapy, and aminoglycosides, the work was driven to the synthesis of aminocyclitol, 2- deoxy-streptamine, conjugated to the adenosine, as well as, conjugated dimers of adenosine by molecular duplication via click chemistry strategy involving copper-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAC). For the synthesis of these products, the starting material adenosine was converted to 5\'-azide-5\'-deoxy-adenosine, which was conjugated with several commercials terminal dialkynes containing different intercalating groups in order to explore the influences of the steric and electronic properties of conjugates towards anti-HIV activity. Alkynes derivated at C-5\' position of adenosine, via triazole group, were used in the synthesis of nucleoside-linked aminocyclitols, as well as, nucleoside conjugated dimers by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction under microwave-assisted conditions (MW), using the catalytic system CuSO4/sodium ascorbate for the in situ generation of Cu(I). Additionally, several compounds, at concentration of 1mM, were tested in vitro by ELISA for detection of p24 protein in H9 cells to antiretroviral evaluation. According with the biologic assay, one of the compounds showed inhibition of p24 protein production similar to zidovudine (AZT), when compared to H9 cells line growth control, Furthermore, two compounds also showed important activities similar to lamivudine (3TC). These results suggest that the presence of a longer methylenic chain, as side chain or intercalating groups, could influence positively in the biologic activity due to hydrophobic or steric effects. Ultimately, the cell viability assays showed that compounds were not cytotoxic in the tested conditions.

L’utilisation de semi-conducteurs organiques dans les dispositifs électroniques offre d’intéressantes perspectives. En effet, ils permettent d’alléger le poids de ces dispositifs en plus de diminuer grandement le coût de leur fabrication. Cependant, une des principales problématiques associées à ces semi-conducteurs organiques est leur procédé de fabrication qui requiert des solvants organiques toxiques et de multiples étapes de synthèse. Dans ce travail, un nouveau procédé de synthèse respectueux de l’environnement a été mis au point. Une seule étape était nécessaire à la préparation des semi-conducteurs, en utilisant la réaction de polycondensation entre une diamine et un dialdéhyde. Cette réaction a été réalisée à température ambiante, dans un solvant vert, l’éthanol, et sans utilisation de catalyseurs, minimisant ainsi la consommation énergétique et utilisant un milieu réactionnel de source renouvelable et peu toxique. Après leur dopage, ces polymères ont présentés des propriétés de conduction comparables à celles des principaux semi-conducteurs organiques. La deuxième partie de cette thèse a été consacrée à l’étude de l’utilisation du papier comme support pour les dispositifs d’électronique organique; s’affranchissant ainsi de l’utilisation de substrats généralement non biodégradables et/ou de sources non renouvelables (plastique ou verre). Deux stratégies ont été utilisées à cette fin. La première consistait en un dépôt direct des polymères semi-conducteurs à la surface de filaments de cellulose. La deuxième est basée sur la création d’un lien covalent entre les semi-conducteurs et la pâte Kraft, en utilisant la réaction de cycloaddition 1,3-dipolaire de Huisgen catalysée par le cuivre (CuAAc). / The use of organic semiconductors in electronic devices offers interesting prospects. Indeed, they make it possible to lighten the weight of these devices in addition to greatly reducing the cost of their manufacture. However, one of the main problems associated with these organic semiconductors is their manufacturing process, which requires toxic organic solvents and multiple synthesis steps. In this work, a new environmentally friendly synthesis process has been developed. A single step was necessary for the preparation of the semiconductors, using the polycondensation reaction between a diamine and a dialdehyde.This reaction was carried out at room temperature in ethanol, a green solvent and without the use of catalysts, thus minimizing energy consumption and using a reaction medium from a renewable and low-toxicity source. After their doping, these polymers exhibited conduction properties comparable to those observed for conventional organic semiconductors.The second part of this thesis was devoted to the study of the use of paper as a support for organic electronics devices; hus avoiding the use of generally non-biodegradable and/or non-renewable substrates (plastic or glass). Two strategies have been used to this end. The first consisted of a direct deposit of the semiconducting polymers to the surface of cellulose filaments.The second is based on the creation of a covalent bond between the semiconductors and the Kraft pulp, using the copper-catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction (CuAAc).

Dans un contexte où les iminosucres multivalents représentent, en tant qu’inhibiteurs puissants de glycosidases, des structures privilégiées pour le développement de nouveaux agents thérapeutiques, nous nous sommes intéressés à ce type de composés pour le traitement de deux maladies génétiques rares. Le premier axe de recherche a consisté à synthétiser des iminosucres di- à tétravalents en série 1-désoxymannojirimycine dans le but d’inhiber l’α1,2-mannosidase I du réticulum endoplasmique qui est impliquée dans la destruction de la protéine delF508-CFTR chez les malades atteints de la mucoviscidose. Un effet multivalent fort sur la correction de cette protéine mutée a alors été mis en évidence avec un composé trivalent basé sur le pentaérythritol. Efficace à des concentrations submicromolaires, ce dernier s’est montré 140 fois plus efficace que le modèle monovalent correspondant. Le second axe de recherche a consisté à identifier de nouveaux chaperons pharmacologiques de la β-glucocérébrosidase, l’enzyme lysosomale impliquée dans la maladie de Gaucher. Pour cela, nous avons préparé une série d’iminosucres hétérodivalents conçus pour cibler simultanément le site actif et un site secondaire de cette enzyme. Même si cet objectif n’a pas encore été atteint, nous avons malgré tout mis en évidence des chaperons monovalents capables de quasiment quadrupler l’activité de la β-glucocérébrosidase portant la mutation G202R. En marge de ces deux axes principaux, une sonde mécanistique basée sur un C-glycoside multivalent a également été développée dans le but de préciser les mécanismes à l’origine des effets multivalents puissants observés pour l’inhibition des glycosidases. / Because multivalent iminosugars represent, as potent glycosidase inhibitors, privileged structures for the design of novel drugs, we took a particular interest in this class of compounds for the treatment of two rare genetic diseases. The first research topic was dedicated to the synthesis of di- to tetravalent iminosugars in the 1-deoxymannojirimycin series in order to inhibit the endoplasmic reticulum α1,2-mannosidase I involved in the destruction of delF508-CFTR, the mutant protein responsible of cystic fibrosis. A strong multivalent effect for restoring its activity in cells was reported with a trivalent analogue based on pentaerythritol. This submicromolar corrector was found to be 140-fold more potent than the corresponding monovalent model. The second research topic focused on the identification of novel pharmacological chaperones of the β-glucocerebrosidase, the lysosomal enzyme involved in Gaucher’s disease. For this purpose, we developed a series of heterodivalent iminosugars designed to both bind to the active site and a secondary site of the enzyme. This goal could not be reached yet, nevertheless we identified monovalent chaperones which were able to fourfold increase β-glucocerebrosidase activity in G202R cell lines. Next to these main research topics, a mechanistic probe based on a multivalent C-glycoside was also developed to investigate the multivalent effect of iminosugar clusters in glycosidase inhibition.
