Abstract
Levofloxacin (LVX) is among the fluoroquinolones antibiotics that has also been studied in vitro and in vivo for its anticancer effects. In this study, we used LVX and novel LVX thionated derivatives; compounds 2 and 3, to evaluate their antioxidant activity, aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) enzymes activity inhibition, and anticancer activity. Combination treatments with doxorubicin (DOX) were investigated as well. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay was used to determine the antioxidant activity. The NADH fluorescence spectrophotometric activity assay was used to determine the ALDH inhibitory effects. Resazurin dye method was applied for cell viability assays. Molecular Operating Environment software was used for the molecular docking experiments. Compared to ascorbic acid, DPPH assay showed that compound 3 had the highest antioxidant activity among the tested compounds with approximately 35% scavenging activity. On ALDH enzymes, compound 3 showed a significant ALDH activity inhibition compared to compound 2 at 200 µM. The IC50 values for the tested compounds were approximately 100 µM on A549 cell line, a non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line. However, significant enhancement of cytotoxicity and reduction of IC50 values were observed by combining DOX and synergism was achieved with LVX with a combination index value of 0.4. The molecular docking test showed a minimum binding energy with a good affinity for compound 3 towards ALDH enzymes. Thionated LVX derivatives, may be repurposed for NSCLC therapy in combination with DOX, taking into account the antioxidant activity, ALDH activity inhibition, and the molecular docking results of compound 3.

Abstract
The multistep synthesis of novel bis-terephthalthioamides based on methyl esters of amino acids (AAs) was proposed using conventional heating and microwave-assisted approaches. In fact, the comparative case study on the thionation of new symmetrical diamides with Lawesson's reagent (LR) was performed. The microwave-accelerated small-scale methodology was successfully employed on the whole pathway from substrates (Gly, Ala, Val, Tyr, Ser) to products (symmetrical dithioamides of terephthalic acid), resulting in significantly reduced reaction time, energy requirements, and slightly increased reaction yields when compared to conventional heating. Moreover, the intermolecular similarity of novel terephthalic acid derivatives was estimated in the multidimensional space (mDS) of the structure/property-related in silico descriptors using principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA). The distance-oriented structure/property distribution was also correlated with the experimental lipophilic data.

Abstract
Levofloxacin is a widely used fluoroquinolone in several infectious diseases. The structure–activity relationship of levofloxacin has been studied. However, the effect of changing the carbonyl into thiocarbonyl of levofloxacin has not been investigated up to the date of this report. In this work, levofloxacin structure was slightly modified by making a thionated form (compound 3), which was investigated for its antibacterial activity, biocompatibility, and cytotoxicity, as well as spectroscopic properties. The antibacterial susceptibility testing against five different bacteria showed promising minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs), particularly against B. spizizenii and E. coli, with an MIC value of 1.9 µM against both bacteria, and 7.8 µM against P. mirabilis. The molecular docking experiment showed similar binding interactions of both levofloxacin and compound 3 with the active site residues of topoisomerase IV. The biocompatibility and cytotoxicity results revealed that compound 3 was more biocompatible with normal cells and more cytotoxic against cancer cells, compared to levofloxacin. Interestingly, compound 3 also showed an excitation profile with a distinctive absorption peak at λmax 404 nm. Overall, our results suggest that the thionation of quinolones may provide a successful approach toward a new generation with enhanced pharmacokinetic and safety profiles and overall activity as potential antibacterial agents.

Abstract
In this study, the chromophore 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PDI) is anchored with phenyl substituents at the imide N site, followed by thionation, yielding a series of thione products 1S-PDI-D, 2S-cis-PDI-D, 2S-trans-PDI-D, 3S-PDI-D, and 4S-PDI-D, respectively, with n = 1, 2, 3, and 4 thione. The photophysical properties are dependent on the number of anchored thiones, where the observed prominent lower-lying absorption is assigned to the S0 → S2(ππ*) transition and is red-shifted upon increasing the number of thiones; the lowest-lying excited state is ascribed to a transition-forbidden S1(nπ*) configuration. All nS-PDIs are non-emissive in solution but reveal an excellent two-photon absorption cross-section of >800 GM. Supported by the femtosecond transient absorption study, the S1(nπ*) → T1(ππ*) intersystem crossing (ISC) rate is > 1012 s-1, resulting in ∼100% triplet population. The lowest-lying T1(ππ*) energy is calculated to be in the order of 1S-PDI-D > 2S-cis-PDI-D ∼ 2S-trans-PDI-D > 3S-PDI-D > 4S-PDI-D, where the T1 energy of 1S-PDI-D (1.10 eV) is higher than that (0.97 eV) of the 1O2 1Δg state. 1S-PDI-D is further modified by either conjugation with peptide FC131 on the two terminal sides, forming 1S-FC131, or linkage with peptide FC131 and cyanine5 dye on each terminal, yielding Cy5-1S-FC131. In vitro experiments show power of 1S-FC131 and Cy5-1S-FC131 in recognizing A549 cells out of other three lung normal cells and effective photodynamic therapy. In vivo, both molecular composites demonstrate outstanding antitumor ability in A549 xenografted tumor mice, where Cy5-1S-FC131 shows superiority of simultaneous fluorescence tracking and targeted photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Organochalcogen heterocycles are ubiquitously present and widely utilized in various fields. Among them, oxirane has been extensively studied, and all of the stereoisomeric forms are readily available. In contrast, synthetic studies on thiirane were rarely reported, and thus the useful sulfur-congener of oxirane has been difficult to access in a stereodefined form. In this research, a general stereoselective synthesis of cis-thiiranes is accomplished by taking advantage of stereospecific electrocyclization of trans-thiocarbonyl ylides, which are generated in situ from readily available E,E-aldazine N-oxides upon treatment with Lawesson's reagent. This newly developed practical method provides a variety of cis-1,2-diarylthiiranes as essentially single diastereomers in high yields under mild reaction conditions. The intermediacy of trans-thiocarbonyl yilde is confirmed by mechanistic experiments, and the excellent stereocontrol is rationalized by DFT calculation.

Abstract
Direct thionation of quinolizidine alkaloids (-)-cytisine, methylcytisine, thermopsine and some of their carbonyl derivatives was realized. It was established that carrying out of the reaction in the boiling toluene with 0.5 eq. of Lawesson's reagent (LR) is most effective for synthesis of thio analogues of methyl-, allyl-, benzylcytisine and thermopsine. It was found, that formation of thioamides is preferable in the case with starting 3-carboxamides of (-)-cytisine or 2-oxo and 4-oxo derivatives of methylcytisine; and an excess of LR is needed for their exhaustive thionation. It was shown, that thionation of 'cytisine substituted' urea and thiourea, as well as Diels-Alder adducts of methylcitisine with phenylmaleimide on basis of this approach was not quite successful: only thionation of the 2-pyridone core has occurred. It should be noted that transformation of urea and thiourea is complicated by side reactions leading to low yields of thio products, and the result of LR interaction with mentioned above diastereomeric Diels-Alder adducts depends on their stereochemistry and thermodynamic stability under reaction conditions.

Abstract
Functionalized polyhedral oligosilsesquioxanes (POSS) containing an isoxazolidine nucleus have been synthesized by microwave assisted 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of N-methyl-C-alkoxycarbonyl nitrone 1 with POSS containing olefin moieties. The results of cycloaddition processes were rationalized by computational studies at the DFT level. The covalent conjugation of chitosan with the cycloadduct 3a leads to composite material CS-POSS 7 which was gelified using genipin as cross linking agent. The suitability of the system for bone tissue engineering purposes was evaluated by in vitro drug release studies using ketoprofen as a model drug and cytotoxicity assays performed on human fetal osteoblastic cells. The preliminary biological tests showed the lack of cytotoxicity of the hybrid material and suggest its potential role in bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Heterocyclic compounds represent a significant target for anti-cancer research and drug discovery, due to their structural and chemical diversity. Oxazoles, with oxygen and nitrogen atoms present in the core structure, enable various types of interactions with different enzymes and receptors, favoring the discovery of new drugs. Aim of this review is to describe the most recent reports on the use of oxazole-based compounds in anticancer research, with reference to the newly discovered iso/oxazole-based drugs, to their synthesis and to the evaluation of the most biologically active derivatives. The corresponding dehydrogenated derivatives, i.e. iso/oxazolines and iso/oxazolidines, are also reported.

Abstract
The first example of supramolecular recognition of phosphocholine by a cavitand receptor has been reported here. The chemical structure of the receptor has been optimized by DFT calculations. The recognition mechanism is based on a "multi-topic approach", which leads to highly efficient (K value up to 107 M-1), selective and sensitive (ppb level) sensing of phosphocholine. The recognition mechanism proposed here is similar to those exploited by Nature, and paves the way for the realization of new sensors with important applications in medicine and security fields.

Abstract
Native chemical ligation (NCL) is a simple, widely used, and powerful synthetic tool to ligate N-terminal cysteine residues and C-terminal α-thioesters via a thermodynamically stable amide bond. Building on this well-established reactivity, as well as advancing our interests in the chemical biology of reactive sulfur species including hydrogen sulfide (H2S), we hypothesized that thionoesters, which are constitutional isomers of thioesters, would undergo a similar NCL reaction in the presence of cysteine to release H2S under physiological conditions. Herein, we report mechanistic and kinetic investigations into cysteine-mediated H2S release from thionoesters. We found that this reaction proceeds with high H2S-releasing efficiency (∼80%) and with a rate constant (9.1 ± 0.3 M-1 s-1) comparable to that for copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloadditions (CuAAC). Additionally, we found that the final product of the reaction of cysteine with thionoesters results in the formation of a stable dihydrothiazole, which is an iron-binding motif commonly found in siderophores produced by bacteria during periods of nutrient deprivation.

Abstract
We describe the isolation as well as IR and UV/Vis spectroscopic characterization of (4-methoxyphenyl)phosphine disulfide in argon matrices at 10 K. The title compound proved to be highly photolabile; irradiation with UV light (λ = 334 nm) led to rearrangement to the equally unreported 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,3-dithiaphosphirane. Photoreversion can be achieved upon irradiation at λ = 465 nm.
