Abstract
An excessive production of lactate by cancer cells fosters tumor growth and metastasis. Therefore, targeting lactate metabolism and transport offers a new therapeutic strategy against cancer, based on dependency of some cancer cells for lactate as energy fuel or as oncogenic signal. Herein we present a family of anionophores based on the structure of click-tambjamines that have proved to be extremely active lactate carriers across phospholipid membranes. Compound 1, the most potent lactate transmembrane carrier, was studied in HeLa cells. The use of a monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) inhibitor proved that 1 is an active lactate transporter in living cells, confirming the results obtained in phospholipid vesicles. Moreover, an additive effect of compound 1 with cisplatin was observed in HeLa cells. Identification of active lactate anionophores working in living cells opens up ways to exploit this class of compounds as molecular tools and drugs addressing dysregulated lactate metabolism.

Abstract
Six novel click-tambjamines (1-6) bearing an alkyl chain of varying length linked to the imine moiety have been formulated in nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) to evaluate their transmembrane anion transport activity both when free (i.e., not encapsulated) and nanoformulated. Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) are an example of drug delivery systems (DDSs) that stand out because of their versatility. In this work we show that NLCs can be used to efficiently formulate highly lipophilic anionophores and experiments conducted in model liposomes reveal that these formulations are adequate to deliver anionophores without compromising their transport activity. This result paves the way to facilitate the study of highly lipophilic anionophores and their potential use as future drugs.

Democratization of Copper Analysis in Grape Must Following a Polymer-Based Lab-on-a-Chip Approach. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2023; 15:16055-16062.

Abstract
Quality control in the food industry is of the upmost importance from the food safety, organoleptic and commercial viewpoints. Accordingly, the development of in situ, rapid, and costless analytical tools is a valuable task in which we are working. Regarding this point, the copper content of grape must has to be determined by wineries along the wine production process. For this purpose, grape must samples are sent to laboratories where the copper content is measured usually by flame atomic absorption spectrometry or by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. We herein propose a straightforward, rapid, and inexpensive methodology based both on a film-shaped colorimetric polymer sensor and a smartphone method that at the same time can be used by unskilled personnel. The sensory polymer films change their color upon dipping them on the grape must, and the color evolution is analyzed using the digital color parameters of a picture taken to the film with a smartphone. Furthermore, the analytical procedure is automatically carried out by a smartphone app. The limit of detection of copper of the polymer sensor is 0.08 ppm. Following this approach, 18 production samples coming from the French Groupe ICV company were studied. The copper content of the samples was analyzed by the usual procedure carried out by the company (flame atomic absorption spectrometry) and by the method proposed in this work, ranging this content from 0.41 to 6.08 ppm. The statistical study showed that the results of both methods are fully consistent, showing the validity of the proposed method for the determination of copper in grape must within the frame of wine production wineries and industries.

Anticooperative Supramolecular Oligomerization Mediated by V-Shaped Monomer Design and Unconventional Hydrogen Bonds. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202218555.

Abstract
After more than three decades of extensive investigations on supramolecular polymers, strategies for self-limiting growth still remain challenging. Herein, we exploit a new V-shaped monomer design to achieve anticooperatively formed oligomers with superior robustness and high luminescence. In toluene, the monomer-oligomer equilibrium is shifted to the monomer side, enabling the elucidation of the molecular packing modes and the resulting (weak) anticooperativity. Steric effects associated with an antiparallel staircase organization of the dyes are proposed to outcompete aromatic and unconventional B-F⋅⋅⋅H-N/C interactions, restricting the growth at the stage of oligomers. In methylcyclohexane (MCH), the packing modes and the anticooperativity are preserved; however, pronounced solvophobic and chain-enwrapping effects lead to thermally ultrastable oligomers. Our results shed light on understanding anticooperative effects and restricted growth in self-assembly.

Abstract
We report on an innovative method to measure the Zn(II) concentration in commercial pet food samples, both wet and dry food. It is based on a colorimetric sensory polymer prepared from commercial monomers and 0.5 % of a synthetic monomer having a quinoline sensory core (N-(8-(2-azidoacetamido)quinolin-5-yl)methacrylamide). We obtained the sensory polymer as crosslinked films by thermally initiated bulk radical polymerization of the monomers of 100 μm thickness, which we punched into Ø6 mm sensory discs. The immersion of the discs in water solutions containing Zn(II) turned the fluorescence on, allowing for the titration of this cation using the G parameter of a digital picture taken to the discs. The limits of detection and quantification were 29 and 87 µg/L, respectively. Furthermore, we measured the concentration of Zn(II) even in the presence of other cations, detecting no significant interferences. Thus, in a further step, we obtained the concentration of Zn(II) from 15 commercial pet food samples, ranging from 19 to 198 mg/kg, following a simple extraction procedure and contacting the extractant with our sensory discs. These results were contrasted with that obtained by ICP-MS as a reference method.

Abstract

The diastereoselective
synthesis of two families of pyrrolopiperazine-2,6-diones
is presented. These compounds were prepared by one-pot Ugi/nucleophilic
substitution/N-acylation/debenzoylation/(elimination) sequences. This
novel route provides straightforward access to a wide variety of pyrrolopiperazine-2,6-diones
with high chemical yields and complete diastereoselectivities. The
proposed synthetic strategy poses a significant improvement compared
to the syntheses of pyrrolopiperazine-2,6-diones previously described,
as it allows introduction of different substituents to the C4 position
and the diastereoselective generation of a new stereogenic center
on the bridgehead carbon (C8a).

Abstract
The antitumor activity of imidazolium salts is highly dependent upon their lipophilicity that can be tuned by the introduction of different hydrophobic substituents on the nitrogen atoms of the imidazolium ring of the molecule. Taking this into consideration, we have synthesized and characterized a series of tripodal imidazolium salts derived from L-valine and L-phenylalanine containing different hydrophobic groups and tested them against four cancer cell lines at physiological and acidic pH. At acidic pH (6.2) the anticancer activity of some of the tripodal compounds changes dramatically, and this parameter is crucial to control their cytotoxicity and selectivity. Moreover, several of these compounds displayed selectivity against the control healthy cell line higher than four. The transmembrane anion transport studies revealed moderate transport abilities suggesting that the observed biological activity is likely not the result of just their transport activity. The observed trends in biological activity at acidic pH agree well with the results for the CF leakage assay. These results strongly suggest that this class of compounds can serve as potential chemotherapeutic agents.

Abstract
The use of arylglyoxal as starting material in Passerini and Ugi reactions affords β-ketoamides. This has allowed to study keto-enol tautomerism in these systems and assess the way in which the presence of acyloxy or aminoacyl groups bound to the C2 position affects such tautomerism, and to investigate the reactivity of both the enol and carbonyl forms. In this work we also prove the versatility of the Passerini reaction, since depending on the conditions to which the corresponding adducts are subjected different products of synthetic interest can be obtained.

Abstract
The synthesis of three novel families of pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepine-5-ones is described. The compounds were prepared according to a three-step sequence, involving an Ugi reaction, building of the pyrrolo nucleus, and reduction-cyclization to the corresponding diazepine. Depending on the amine employed in the synthesis of the Ugi adducts, different unsaturation degrees could be obtained in the pyrrolo ring (saturated or with endo or exo unsaturations), a key feature determining their biological activity, as it affects the affinity of the pyrrolobenzodiazepines toward DNA and thus their cytotoxicity. This synthetic methodology represents a significant improvement with respect to those described in the literature so far, as it uses inexpensive and commercially available starting materials without needing derivatization or the use of protecting groups.

Small molecule-facilitated anion transporters in cells for a novel therapeutic approach to cystic fibrosis. Br J Pharmacol 2019; 176:1764-1779.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a lethal autosomal recessive genetic disease that originates from the defective function of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein, a cAMP-dependent anion channel involved in fluid transport across epithelium. Because small synthetic transmembrane anion transporters (anionophores) can replace the biological anion transport mechanisms, independent of genetic mutations in the CFTR, such anionophores are candidates as new potential treatments for CF. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH In order to assess their effects on cell physiology, we have analysed the transport properties of five anionophore compounds, three prodigiosines and two tambjamines. Chloride efflux was measured in large uni-lamellar vesicles and in HEK293 cells with chloride-sensitive electrodes. Iodide influx was evaluated in FRT cells transfected with iodide-sensitive YFP. Transport of bicarbonate was assessed by changes of pH after a NH4 + pre-pulse using the BCECF fluorescent probe. Assays were also carried out in FRT cells permanently transfected with wild type and mutant human CFTR. KEY RESULTS All studied compounds are capable of transporting halides and bicarbonate across the cell membrane, with a higher transport capacity at acidic pH. Interestingly, the presence of these anionophores did not interfere with the activation of CFTR and did not modify the action of lumacaftor (a CFTR corrector) or ivacaftor (a CFTR potentiator). CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS These anionophores, at low concentrations, transported chloride and bicarbonate across cell membranes, without affecting CFTR function. They therefore provide promising starting points for the development of novel treatments for CF.

Abstract
Pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepines (PBDs) and other benzo-fused N-heterocycles constitute privileged structures found in numerous bioactive compounds. Thus, developing simple and selective syntheses to furnish these derivatives from easily accessible starting materials is an important and challenging goal. In this work, novel pyrrolobenzodiazepine and pyrroloquinazoline derivatives have been synthesized following a common two step synthetic strategy. This strategy involves a one-pot Ugi/cyclization sequence followed by a reduction with spontaneous thermocontrolled cyclization. The control of the temperature in this second step allows fully selective access to either pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepine-3-ones 6 or pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolines 7. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been carried out to rationalize this reactivity, identifying the kinetic and thermodynamic reaction products and offering insights into the cyclization pathways. These synthetic methodologies show the versatility of the Ugi reaction as a tool in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds with a pseudopeptidic skeleton.

Recognition of AMP, ADP and ATP through Cooperative Binding by Cu(II) and Zn(II) Complexes Containing Urea and/or Phenylboronic-Acid Moieties. Molecules 2018; 23:molecules23020479.

Abstract
We report a series of Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes with different ligands containing a dipicolyl unit functionalized with urea groups that may contain or not a phenylboronic acid function. These complexes were designed for the recognition of phosphorylated anions through coordination to the metal ion reinforced by hydrogen bonds involving the anion and NH groups of urea. The complexes were isolated and several adducts with pyrophosphate were characterized using X-ray diffraction measurements. Coordination of one of the urea nitrogen atoms to the metal ion promoted the hydrolysis of the ligands containing 1,3-diphenylurea units, while ligands bearing 1-ethyl-3-phenylurea groups did not hydrolyze significantly at room temperature. Spectrophotometric titrations, combined with 1H and 31P NMR studies, were used in investigating the binding of phosphate, pyrophosphate (PPi), and nucleoside 5′-polyphosphates (AMP, ADP, ATP, CMP, and UMP). The association constants determined in aqueous solution (pH 7.0, 0.1 M MOPS) point to a stronger association with PPi, ADP, and ATP as compared with the anions containing a single phosphate unit. The [CuL4]2+ complex shows important selectivity for pyrophosphate (PPi) over ADP and ATP.

Abstract
The ditopic receptor L3 [1-(2-((7-(4-(tert-butyl)benzyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecan-1-yl)methyl)phenyl)-3-(3-nitrophenyl)urea] containing a macrocyclic cyclen unit for Cu(ii)-coordination and a urea moiety for anion binding was designed for recognition of metal salts. The X-ray structure of [CuL3(SO4)] shows that the sulfate anion is involved in cooperative binding via coordination to the metal ion and hydrogen-bonding to the urea unit. This behaviour is similar to that observed for the related receptor L1 [1-(2-((bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)methyl)phenyl)-3-(3-nitrophenyl)urea], which forms a dimeric [CuL1(μ-SO4)]2 structure in the solid state. In contrast, the single crystal X-ray structure of [ZnL3(NO3)2] contains a 1 : 2 complex (metal : anion) where one anion coordinates to the metal and the other is hydrogen-bonded to the urea group. Spectrophotometric titrations performed for the [CuL3(OSMe2)]2+ complex indicate that this system is able to bind a wide range of anions with an affinity sequence: MeCO2- > Cl- > H2PO4- > Br- > NO2- > HSO4- > NO3-. Lipophilic analogues of L1 and L3 extract CuSO4 and CuCl2 from water into chloroform with high selectivity over the corresponding Co(ii), Ni(ii) and Zn(ii) salts.

Abstract
The ability of Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes of the ditopic receptor H2L [1-(2-((bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)methyl)phenyl)-3-(3-nitrophenyl)urea] for anion recognition is reported. In the presence of weakly coordinating anions such as ClO4(-), the urea group binds to the metal ion (Cu(II) or Zn(II)) through one of its nitrogen atoms. The study of the interaction of the metal complexes with a variety of anions in DMSO shows that SO4(2-) and Cl(-) bind to the complexes through a cooperative binding involving simultaneous coordination to the metal ion and different hydrogen-bonding interactions with the urea moiety, depending on the shape and size of the anion. On the contrary, single crystal X-ray diffraction studies show that anions such as NO3(-) and PhCO2(-) form 1:2 complexes (metal/anion) where one of the anions coordinates to the metal center and the second one is involved in hydrogen-bonding interaction with the urea group, which is projected away from the metal ion. Spectrophotometric titrations performed for the Cu(II) complex indicate that this system is able to bind a wide range of anions with an affinity sequence: MeCO2(-) ∼ Cl(-) (log K11 > 7) > NO2(-) > H2PO4(-) ∼ Br(-) > HSO4(-) > NO3(-) (log K11 < 2). In contrast to this, the free ligand gives much weaker interactions with these anions. In the presence of basic anions such as MeCO2(-) or F(-), competitive processes associated with the deprotonation of the coordinated N-H group of the urea moiety take place. Thus, N-coordination of the urea unit to the metal ion increases the acidity of one of its N-H groups. DFT calculations performed in DMSO solution are in agreement with both an anion-hydrogen bonding interaction and an anion-metal ion coordination collaborating in the stabilization of the metal salt complexes with tetrahedral anions.
