摘要:

AbstractThe condensation reaction betweenp‐tert‐butylphenol and formaldehyde leads in a single step to good yields of cyclic oligomers in which, depending on the reaction conditions, either four, six, or eight phenol units are joined by methylene bridges. The beakerlike shape of the most stable conformation of the tetramer has led to their being given the name “calixarenes” (calix = chalice). Resorcinol can undergo condensation in a similar manner with a variety of aldehydes to afford cyclic tetramers with the same basic structure (the resorcarenes). In both cases the reaction does not require the use of dilution techniques, so that large quantities of product can be readily obtained. In addition, the parent compounds can be modified in various ways, in particular at the phenolic hydroxy groups or the phenyl residues; these approaches can be used separately or in combination. Calixarenes are thus ideal starting materials for the synthesis of various types of host molecules and can also act as building blocks for the construction of larger molecular systems with defined structures and functions. Their potential applications range from use as highly specific ligands for analytical chemistry, sensor techniques and medical diagnostics to their use in the decontamination of waste water and the construction of artificial enzymes and the synthesis of new materials for non‐linear optics or for ultrathin layers and sieve membranes with molecu

摘要:

AbstractThis review article focuses on the molecular aspects of DNA cleavage by synthetic chemical nucleases (transition metal complexes endowed with redox properties and DNA affinity) and natural drugs (cytotoxic agents such as bleomycins or enediynes). Unlike deoxyribonucleases, which catalyze the nucleophilic attack of water on the phosphorus atom of a particular phosphodiester entity, these nonhydrolytic DNA‐cleavers are able to oxidize the sugar units, generally by hydrogen atom abstraction. Examples of oxidative attack on each of the five different CH bonds of deoxyribose are known, depending on the nature, structure, type of activation, or mode of DNA interaction of the DNA‐cleaver. Further evolution at the site of the initial lesion leads to the release of bases, oxidized deoxyribose units, or oxidized sugar fragments appended to the base or the terminal phosphate. In most cases the loss of a part (at least) of a nucleoside, with the concomitant loss of one base information, primarily induces the cleavage of the DNA strand. For both types of DNA cleavage reagents studied within the two last decades, the modes of activation and DNA binding are presented, as well as the details on the mechanism of deoxyribose oxidative degration. Because of the need for highly efficient and highly specific reagents, the development of new artificial and selective DNA cleavers, supported by an improved knowledge of these different mechanisms of DNA cleavage, is to‐day a challenging area in the rational design of antitumoral or antiviral agents, as well as in the field of molecular
