Abstract
Aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) are promising cancer drug targets, as certain isoforms are required for the survival of stem-like tumor cells. We have discovered selective inhibitors of ALDH1B1, a mitochondrial enzyme that promotes colorectal and pancreatic cancer. We describe bicyclic imidazoliums and guanidines that target the ALDH1B1 active site with comparable molecular interactions and potencies. Both pharmacophores abrogate ALDH1B1 function in cells; however, the guanidines circumvent an off-target mitochondrial toxicity exhibited by the imidazoliums. Our lead isoform-selective guanidinyl antagonists of ALDHs exhibit proteome-wide target specificity, and they selectively block the growth of colon cancer spheroids and organoids. Finally, we have used genetic and chemical perturbations to elucidate the ALDH1B1-dependent transcriptome, which includes genes that regulate mitochondrial metabolism and ribosomal function. Our findings support an essential role for ALDH1B1 in colorectal cancer, provide molecular probes for studying ALDH1B1 functions and yield leads for developing ALDH1B1-targeting therapies.

Abstract
Transition-metal-based donor-acceptor systems can produce long-lived excited charge-transfer states by visible-light irradiation. The novel ruthenium(II) polypyridyl type complexes Ru1 and Ru2 based on the dipyridophenazine ligand (L0) directly linked to 4-hydroxythiazoles of different donor strengths were synthesized and photophysically characterized. The excited-state dynamics were investigated by femtosecond-to-nanosecond transient absorption and nanosecond emission spectroscopy complemented by time-dependent density functional theory calculations. These results indicate that photoexcitation in the visible region leads to the population of both metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (1MLCT) and thiazole (tz)-induced intraligand charge-transfer (1ILCT) states. Thus, the excited-state dynamics is described by two excited-state branches, namely, the population of (i) a comparably short-lived phenazine-centered 3MLCT state (τ ≈ 150-400 ps) and (ii) a long-lived 3ILCT state (τ ≈ 40-300 ns) with excess charge density localized on the phenazine and tz moieties. Notably, the ruthenium(II) complexes feature long-lived dual emission with lifetimes in the ranges τEm,1 ≈ 40-300 ns and τEm,2 ≈ 100-200 ns, which are attributed to emission from the 3ILCT and 3MLCT manifolds, respectively.

Abstract
The supramolecular structure essentially determines the properties of organic thin films. In this work, we systematically investigate the influence of the chromophore on the supramolecular structure formation at air-water interfaces by means of the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. Therefore, we focus on the recently introduced class of double-anchor T-shaped amphiphilic dyes, namely, 4-hydroxy-thiazole chromophores that are centrally equipped with an amphiphilicity-inducing hexanoic acid. The thiazoles contain hydrophilic subphase-anchor groups in the 2-position (4- N, N-dimethylaminophenyl (Am), 2-pyridyl (Py), and 4-nitrophenyl (Ni)), whereas the chromophores are systematically extended in the 5-position with various substituents. The combination of the Langmuir technique with online fluorescence measurements revealed that the π-π interactions that are pronounced in the case of 4-methoxybiphenyl derivatives yield the most distinct supramolecular structures. Whereas in the case of Py and Ni derivatives ordered J-type supramolecular structures in microdomains are formed, the Am derivative forms ordered supramolecular structures that are more homogeneous, which are, however, not stabilized by J-type dipolar interactions. Because of the synergetic π-π and dipolar stabilizations, the Ni derivative bearing the 4-methoxybiphenyl unit forms exceptionally stable quasi-two-dimensional Langmuir monolayers reaching very high surface pressures beyond 60 mN/m without any sign of disturbance of the Langmuir monolayer.
