  abstract  = {A unique series of six biaryl natural products displaying four different coupling types (5,10 , 7,10 , 7,80 , and 5,80) were isolated from the roots of the West African liana Ancistrocladus abbreviatus (Ancistrocladaceae). Although at first sight structurally diverse, these secondary metabolites all have in common that they belong to the rare group of naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids with a fully dehydrogenated isoquinoline portion. Among the African Ancistrocladus species, A. abbreviatus is so far only the second one that was found to produce compounds with such a molecular entity. Here, we report on four new representatives, named ancistrobreveines A-D (12-14, and 6). They were identified along with the two known alkaloids 6-O-methylhamateine (4) and entdioncophylleine A (10). The two latter naphthylisoquinolines had so far only been detected in Ancistrocladus species from Southeast Asia. All of these fully dehydrogenated alkaloids have in common being optically active despite the absence of stereogenic centers, due to the presence of the rotationally hindered biaryl axis as the only element of chirality. Except for ent-dioncophylleine A (10), which lacks an oxygen function at C-6, the ancistrobreveines A-D (12-14, and 6) and 6-O-methylhamateine (4) are 6-oxygenated alkaloids, and are, thus, typical 'Ancistrocladaceae-type' compounds. Ancistrobreveine C (14), is the first - and so far only - example of a 7,80-linked fully dehydrogenated naphthylisoquinoline discovered in nature that is configurationally stable at the biaryl axis. The stereostructures of the new alkaloids were established by spectroscopic (in particular HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR) and chiroptical (electronic circular dichroism) methods. Ancistrobreveine C (14) and 6-O-methylhamateine (4) exhibited strong antiproliferative activities against drug-sensitive acute lymphoblastic CCRF-CEM leukemia cells and their multidrugresistant subline, CEM/ADR5000.},

  abstract  = {From the leaves of a botanically and phytochemically as yet unexplored Ancistrocladus liana discovered in the rainforests of the Central region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the vicinity of the town of Ikela, six new naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids were isolated, viz., two constitutionally unsymmetric dimers, the mbandakamines B\(_3\) (3) and B\(_4\) (4), and four related 5,8′-linked monomeric alkaloids, named ikelacongolines A-D (5a, 5b, 6, and 7). The dimers 3 and 4 are structurally unusual quateraryls comprising two 5,8′-coupled monomers linked via a sterically strongly constrained 6′,1′′-connection between their naphthalene units. These compounds contain seven elements of chirality, four stereogenic centers and three consecutive chiral axes. They were identified along with two known related compounds, the mbandakamines A (1) and B\(_2\) (2), which had so far only been detected in two Ancistrocladus species indigenous to the Northwestern Congo Basin. In addition, five known monomeric alkaloids, previously found in related Central African Ancistrocladus species, were isolated from the here investigated Congolese liana, three of them belonging to the subclass of 5,8′-coupled naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids, whereas two compounds exhibited a less frequently occurring 7,8′-biaryl linkage. The stereostructures of the new alkaloids were established by spectroscopic (in particular HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR), chemical (oxidative degradation), and chiroptical (electronic circular dichroism) methods. The mbandakamines B\(_3\) (3) and B\(_4\) (4) displayed pronounced activities in vitro against the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum and the pathogen of African sleeping sickness, Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense.},

Here we show by isothermal titration calorimetry, circular dichroism spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy that the FGB1 gene from the root endophyte Piriformospora indica encodes for a secreted fungal-specific β-glucan-binding lectin with dual function. This lectin has the potential to both alter fungal cell wall composition and properties, and to efficiently suppress β-glucan-triggered immunity in different plant hosts, such as Arabidopsis, barley and Nicotiana benthamiana. Our results hint at the existence of fungal effectors that deregulate innate sensing of β-glucan in plants.},

  abstract  = {This review aims at juxtaposing common versus distinct structural and functional strategies that are applied by aptamers, riboswitches, and ribozymes/DNAzymes. Focusing on recently discovered systems, we begin our analysis with small-molecule binding aptamers, with emphasis on in vitro-selected fluorogenic RNA aptamers and their different modes of ligand binding and fluorescence activation. Fundamental insights are much needed to advance RNA imaging probes for detection of exo- and endogenous RNA and for RNA process tracking. Secondly, we discuss the latest gene expression-regulating mRNA riboswitches that respond to the alarmone ppGpp, to PRPP, to NAD+, to adenosine and cytidine diphosphates, and to precursors of thiamine biosynthesis (HMP-PP), and we outline new subclasses of SAM and tetrahydrofolate-binding RNA regulators. Many riboswitches bind protein enzyme cofactors that, in principle, can catalyse a chemical reaction. For RNA, however, only one system (glmS ribozyme) has been identified in Nature thus far that utilizes a small molecule - glucosamine-6-phosphate - to participate directly in reaction catalysis (phosphodiester cleavage). We wonder why that is the case and what is to be done to reveal such likely existing cellular activities that could be more diverse than currently imagined. Thirdly, this brings us to the four latest small nucleolytic ribozymes termed twister, twister-sister, pistol, and hatchet as well as to in vitro selected DNA and RNA enzymes that promote new chemistry, mainly by exploiting their ability for RNA labelling and nucleoside modification recognition. Enormous progress in understanding the strategies of nucleic acids catalysts has been made by providing thorough structural fundaments (e.g. first structure of a DNAzyme, structures of ribozyme transition state mimics) in combination with functional assays and atomic mutagenesis.},

Due to the extended conjugated system the ligands are able to prolong the lifetime of the \(^3\)MLCT states compared to unsubstituted terpyridyl species by delocalization and energetic stabilization of the \(^3\)MLCT states. This concept is applied for the first time to Fe(II) terpyridyl species and results in an exceptionally long lifetime of 23 ps for the Fe(II) \(^3\)MLCT state. While partial energy (>80\%) transfer is observed between the Ru(II) and Fe(II) centers with a time-constant of 15 ps, excitation energy is transferred completely from the Ru(II) to the Os(II) center within the first 200 fs after excitation.},

Analysis of temperature-dependent UV/Vis spectra using the nucleation-elongation model and FT-IR data reveals the molecular origin of the cooperative nature of the self-assembly. The supramolecular polymerization is initiated by H-bonding up to a degree of polymerization similar to 20-25, which in a subsequent elongation step promotes J-aggregation in orthogonal direction leading to possibly a sheet-like structure that eventually produces nanotubes. Time-resolved fluorescence and absorption measurements demonstrate that such a tubular assembly enables very effective delocalization of excited states resulting in a remarkably prolonged excited state lifetime.},

The scaffolds are implanted subcutaneously in Balb/c mice and retrieved after 1, 8, and 27 weeks. Molecular weight analysis shows that modified scaffolds degrade faster than the unmodified. Gene analysis at week 1 shows highest expression of proinflammatory markers around nDP scaffolds; although the presence of inflammatory cells and foreign body giant cells is more prominent around the PLCL. Tissue regeneration markers are highly expressed in the nDP+BMP-2 scaffolds at week 8. A fibrous capsule is detectable by week 8, thinnest around nDP scaffolds and at week 27 thickest around PLCL scaffolds. mRNA levels of ALP, COL1 alpha 2, and ANGPT1 are signifi cantly upregulating in the nDP+BMP-2 scaffolds at week 1 with ectopic bone seen at week 8. Even when almost 90\% of the scaffold is degraded at week 27, nDP are observable at implantation areas without adverse effects. In conclusion, modifying PLCL scaffolds with nDP does not aggravate the host response and physisorbed BMP-2 delivery attenuates infl ammation while lowering the dose of BMP-2 to a relatively safe and economical level.},

Using these monomers, linear dimers and trimers as well as star-shaped trimers and hexamers with benzene or triphenylamine cores were synthesised and investigated. The red-shifted and intensified 1PA spectra of all superchromophores could well be explained by exciton coupling theory. In the linear chromophore arrangements we also found superradiance of fluorescence but not in the branched systems. Furthermore, the 2PA showed enhanced cross sections for the linear oligomers but only additivity for the branched systems. This emphasizes that the enhancement of the 2PA cross section in the linear arrangements is probably caused by orbital interactions of higher excited configurations.},

This sequence of events is eliminated by dissolving the PBI cyclophane in non-polar toluene, where only excited singlet state decay occurs. In contrast, complexation of electron-rich aromatic hydrocarbons by the host PBI cyclophane followed by photoexcitation of PBI results in ultrafast electron transfer (<10 ps) from the guest to the PBI in CH\(_2\)Cl\(_2\). The rate constants for charge separation and recombination increase as the guest molecules become easier to oxidize, demonstrating that charge separation occurs close to the peak of the Marcus curve and the recombination lies far into the Marcus inverted region.},

Here, we report on a strong variation of the fluorescence quantum yield due to different phases of aggregation for the case of a perylene bisimide dye. In particular, a change of the dominant aggregation character from H- to J-type within the first aggregation steps is found, explaining the observed dramatic change in quantum yield. This behaviour is rationalised by means of a systematic study of the intermolecular potential energy surfaces using the time-dependent density functional based tight-binding (TD-DFTB) method. This provides a correlation between structural changes and a coupling strength and supports the notion of H- type stacked dimers and J-type stack-slipped dimers. The exciton-vibrational level structure is modelled by means of an excitonic dimer model including two effective vibrational modes per monomer. Calculated absorption and fluorescence spectra are found to be in reasonable agreement with experimental ones, thus supporting the conclusion on the aggregation behaviour.},

  abstract  = {Herein we report a broad series of new trinuclear supramolecular Ru(bda) macrocycles bearing different substituents at the axial or equatorial ligands which enabled investigation of substituent effects on the catalytic activities in chemical and photocatalytic water oxidation. Our detailed investigations revealed that the activities of these functionalized macrocycles in water oxidation are significantly affected by the position at which the substituents were introduced. Interestingly, this effect could not be explained based on the redox properties of the catalysts since these are not markedly influenced by the functionalization of the ligands. Instead, detailed investigations by X-ray crystal structure analysis and theoretical simulations showed that conformational changes imparted by the substituents are responsible for the variation of catalytic activities of the Ru macrocycles. For the first time, macrocyclic structure of this class of water oxidation catalysts is unequivocally confirmed and experimental indication for a hydrogen-bonded water network present in the cavity of the macrocycles is provided by crystal structure analysis. We ascribe the high catalytic efficiency of our Ru(bda) macrocycles to cooperative proton abstractions facilitated by such a network of preorganized water molecules in their cavity, which is reminiscent of catalytic activities of enzymes at active sites.},

  abstract  = {A perylene bisimide dye bearing amide functionalities at the imide positions derived from amino acid L-alanine and a dialkoxy-substituted benzyl amine self-assembles into tightly bound dimers by π-π-stacking and hydrogen bonding in chloroform. In less polar or unpolar solvents like toluene and methylcyclohexane, and in their mixtures, these dimers further self-assemble into extended oligomeric aggregates in an anti-cooperative process in which even numbered aggregates are highly favoured. The stepwise transition from dimers into oligomers can not be properly described by conventional K\(_2\)-K model, and thus a new K\(_2\)-K aggregation model has been developed, which interpretes the present anti-cooperative supramolecular polymerization more appropriately. The newly developed K\(_2\)-K model will be useful to describe self-assembly processes of a plethora of other π-conjugated molecules that are characterized by a favored dimer species.},

  abstract  = {A new twelvefold methoxy-triethyleneglycol-jacketed tetraphenoxy-perylene bisimide (MEG-PBI) amphiphile was synthesized that self-assembles into two types of supramolecular aggregates in water: red-coloured aggregates of low order and with weak exciton coupling among the PBIs and blue-coloured strongly coupled J-aggregates consisting of a highly ordered hydrogen-bonded triple helix of PBIs. At room temperature this PBI is miscible with water at any proportions which enables the development of robust dye aggregates in solution, in hydrogel states and in lyotropic liquid crystalline states. In the presence of 60-95 wt\% water, self-standing coloured hydrogels exhibit colour changes from red to blue accompanied by a fluorescence light-up in the far-red region upon heating in the range of 30-50 °C. This phenomenon is triggered by an entropically driven temperature-induced hydrogen-bond-directed slipped stacking arrangement of the MEG-PBI chromophores within structurally well-defined J-aggregates. This versatile aqua material is the first example of a stable PBI J-aggregate in water. We anticipate that this study will open a new avenue for the development of biocompatible functional materials based on self-assembled dyes and inspire the construction of other hydrogen-bonded supramolecular materials in the highly competitive solvent water.},

  abstract  = {The self-assembly of perylene bisimide (PBI) dyes bearing oligo ethylene glycol (OEG) units in water affords responsive functional nanostructures characterized by their lower critical solution temperature (LCST). Tuning of the LCST is realized by a supramolecular approach that relies on two structurally closely related PBI-OEG molecules. The two PBIs socially co-assemble in water and the resulting nanostructures exhibit a single LCST in between the transition temperatures of the aggregates formed by single components. This permits to precisely tune the transition from a hydrogel to a lyotropic liquid crystal state at temperatures between 26 and 51 °C by adjusting the molar fraction of the two PBIs. Owing to concomitant changes in PBI-PBI interactions this phase transition affords a pronounced color change with "fluorescence-on" response that can be utilized as a smart temperature sensory system.},

  abstract  = {Background: Xenobiotics represent an environmental stress and as such are a source for antibiotics, including the isoquinoline (IQ) compound IQ-143. Here, we demonstrate the utility of complementary analysis of both host and pathogen datasets in assessing bacterial adaptation to IQ-143, a synthetic analog of the novel type N,C-coupled naphthyl-isoquinoline alkaloid ancisheynine. Results: Metabolite measurements, gene expression data and functional assays were combined with metabolic modeling to assess the effects of IQ-143 on Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and human cell lines, as a potential paradigm for novel antibiotics. Genome annotation and PCR validation identified novel enzymes in the primary metabolism of staphylococci. Gene expression response analysis and metabolic modeling demonstrated the adaptation of enzymes to IQ-143, including those not affected by significant gene expression changes. At lower concentrations, IQ-143 was bacteriostatic, and at higher concentrations bactericidal, while the analysis suggested that the mode of action was a direct interference in nucleotide and energy metabolism. Experiments in human cell lines supported the conclusions from pathway modeling and found that IQ-143 had low cytotoxicity. Conclusions: The data suggest that IQ-143 is a promising lead compound for antibiotic therapy against staphylococci. The combination of gene expression and metabolite analyses with in silico modeling of metabolite pathways allowed us to study metabolic adaptations in detail and can be used for the evaluation of metabolic effects of other xenobiotics.},

  abstract  = {Large-acale multi-reference configuration interaction (MRD-CI) calculations in a quite flexible AO basis are employed to study the energy hypersurface for the reaction intermediates XC\(_3\)H\(_4\) with X = Cl, Br and F. Particular emphasis is therby placed on determining the equilibrium conformations, the CH\(_2\) rotation barrier and the energy surface for a possible bridging (shuttling motion (1a] of X between the two carbon centers). The absolute minimum in the potential energy surface is found in all three cases for the asymmetric ß-halo radical in general agreement with ESR data at an XCC angle of ca. 110°, a c-c separation somewhat shorter than a single bond and an approximate sp3 type hybridization (\(\alpha _2 \approx \) 135-140°). In FC\(_2\)H\(_4\) the energy difference between the minimum in the symmetric conformation and the absolute minimum is found to be more than 30 kcal so that shuttling seems impossible in agreement with experimental findings. In BrC\(_2\)H\(_4\) the difference between these two potential minima is only between 1-2 kcal, i.e., smaller than the barrier to CH\(_2\), rotation, so that· shuttling is favored, while ClC\(_2\)H\(_4\) takes an intermediate position between these extremes. The use of correlated wavefunctions is found to be quite important for such a study; the results are related to various kinetic studies of these radicals.},

A detailed analysis of the charge density at the nucleus and the spin polarization in the ls and 2s shell as a function of various technical parameters is undertaken. Various (s, p) AO basis sets and the inftuence of correlation orbitals is investigated as weil as selection threshold and other properlies in CI calculations. The best value, obtained for the isotropic hyperfine coupling constant in an s, p, d basis, based on theoretical judgment of' best' quantities, is 9·9 MHz compared to 10·4509 MHz.},

  abstract  = {The istropic part of the hyperfine coupling constant is investigated by means of multireference configuration interaction calculations employing Gaussian basis sets. A detailed study of the 1s and 2s spin polarisation in the nitrogen atom and the NH molecule shows that the structure of the lower-energy space of the unoccupied orbitals is essential for the results. A contraction of the Gaussian basis is possible without loss of accuracy if enough flexibility is retained to describe the main features of the original space of unoccupied functions. Higher than double excitations are found to be non-negligible for the description of α\(_{iso}\).},

In series II, the 5s3p basis set was uncontracted in several steps until 9s5p was reached, to which were added from one to three d-polarization functions. Cl parameters (selectioo threshoids and the number of reference coofiguratioos) were also varied. A study of the R dependence of aiso and Adip was perfonned.
