They are usually utilized as efficient host molecules in supramolecular chemistry applications due to their high binding affinity for positively charged or cationic compounds. This review investigates the application of CB[n] immobilization at semi-conductive interfaces to produce electrochemical sensors. Critical to the production of thin film electrode preparations is the solubility of the CB[n] to produce homogeneous thin films when deposited. The solubility of CB[n] molecules in organic and inorganic solvents is limited; however, CB[7] has been applied successfully in the production of a wide range of electrochemical sensors. Furthermore, we introduce simple drop-casting of efficiently solubilized CB[7] as a simple yet effective method for producing CB[7] modified electrochemical sensors for the sensitive reporting of dopamine in aqueous solutions in the concentration range of 3.33×10-9 to 1.16×10-8 M with a sensitivity of 0.315 µA/M, (n=3).","PeriodicalId":18632,"journal":{"name":"Mini-reviews in Organic Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139375735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, the use of constructing coumarin or quinolin-2-one compounds functionalized at the C3 position has certain advantages over traditional noble metalcatalyzed or high-temperature cyclization, which is more in line with the advocates of green chemistry. The design of alkenes or alkynes as radical acceptors for cascade reactions presents a novel and robust approach to obtaining coumarin or quinolin-2-one molecules. These radical cascade cyclization reactions have been well explored and studied over the past decade. As a result, we have compiled a review of the rapidly developing cutting-edge research in this field, featuring typical examples and in-depth exploration of the underlying mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":18632,"journal":{"name":"Mini-reviews in Organic Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139375744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ABL kinase is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase that helps in cell growth and survival and is a key player in the development of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ALL). The BCR-ABL fusion protein, which is formed by chromosomal translocation in CML and Ph+ ALL, results in the constitutive activation of ABL kinase, leading to uncontrolled cell growth and proliferation. To have a high binding affinity for the active site of the enzyme, structural biology and computer-aided drug design (CADD) concepts were applied to the design of asciminib so that it could specifically target the ABL kinase enzyme. The drug was synthesized and characterized in a laboratory. In its pharmacological studies, it has shown that asciminib is a potent and selective inhibitor of ABL kinase. Phase I clinical trials assessed its safety and efficacy, revealing that it is effective against tumors while causing minimal discomfort to patients. In addition to this, it was able to induce apoptosis and a cytogenetic response as well as inhibit the proliferation of CML and Ph+ALL cells in patients with CML. As this trial gave a positive response, phase II and III trials were conducted. In that sense, asciminib has shown to be highly effective, with response rates of over 90% in patients with these diseases. The safety and efficacy of asciminib were also evaluated in combination with other drugs, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors and immunomodulatory drugs, and the results were promising. Overall, the discovery and development of asciminib showed that by using the concepts of pharmacology and CADD, a drug with a 90% positive rate response can be developed with a high tolerance level and lower side effects","PeriodicalId":18632,"journal":{"name":"Mini-reviews in Organic Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136037795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We analyzed the literature data on the synthesis and use of common collectors such as xanthates and dithiocarbamates. Particular importance is given to recent progress in the functionalization of xanthates and dithiocarbamates, their selective characteristics and flotation mechanisms. Progress in the field of flotation can be made in the use of new effective reagents and their combinations, as well as in the modification of already known collectors.
