In this work, we exemplify the use of multi-omics to support the development of 3-chloropiperidines (3-CePs), a new class of candidate anticancer agents. Combined analyses of transcriptome and chromatin accessibility elucidated the mechanisms underlying sensitivity to test agents. Further, we implemented a new versatile strategy for the integration of RNA-seq and ATAC-seq data, able to accelerate and extend the standalone analyses of distinct omic layers. This platform guided the construction of a perturbation-informed basal signature able to predict cancer cell lines’ sensitivity and to further direct compound development against specific tumor types. Overall, this approach offered a scalable pipeline to support the early phases of drug discovery, understanding of mechanism and potentially inform the positioning of therapeutics in the ...

We have recently probed the trans-activation response (TAR) element, an RNA stem–bulge–loop domain of the HIV-1 genome with bis-3-chloropiperidines (B-CePs), and revealed the compounds unique behavior in stabilizing TAR structure, thus impairing in vitro the chaperone activity of the HIV-1 nucleocapsid (NC) protein. Seeking to elucidate the determinants of B-CePs inhibition, we have further characterized here their effects on the target TAR and its NC recognition, while developing quantitative analytical approaches for the study of multicomponent RNA-based interactions.

These nitrogen mustard‐based compounds are expected to react via a highly electrophilic bicyclic aziridinium ion, which is readily attacked by nucleophiles. Halide abstraction using silver salts with weakly coordinating anions lead to the isolation of these proposed intermediates, whereas their structure was confirmed by single crystal XRD. Kinetic studies of the aziridinium ions also revealed notable reactivity differences of the C5 gem‐methylated compounds and their unmethylated counterparts. The observed reactivity trends were also reflected by NMR studies in aqueous solution and DNA alkylation experiments of the related 3‐chloropiperidines. Therefore, the underlying Thorpe‐Ingold effect might be considered as another option to adjust the alkylation activity of these compounds.

The third generation of OLEDs is based on thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). A series of heteroleptic iridium(III) imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine and-quinoline complexes with potential TADF behaviour was synthesised and characterized via UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy as well as measurements of the excited state lifetime. The experimental results were confirmed by computational calculations of the relative energy of the first excited singlet and triplet states. In addition, the HOMO and LUMO levels were calculated with DFT and compared to values estimated from redox potentials determined by cyclic voltammetry. For the first time, a TADF mechanism of these compounds has been proven.

The properties of molecules in solution as well as their change in the solid state are reported and assessed regarding possible application in organic electronics. The influence of increased ring size by substitution, e.g., exchanging phenyl to naphthalenyl, as well as pyridyl to quinolinyl moieties, and by means of a larger IQ fluorophore is discussed. A higher oscillator strength and quantum yield can be achieved. Frontier orbital energies are estimated based on cyclic voltammetry and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Single crystals of molecules are grown. A red‐shift in the photoluminescence spectra found for crystals of IQs compared with those in solution is proposed to be caused by intermolecular coupling based on the parallel stacking of the enlarged fluorophore units. Thin films deposited by phys...

A dinuclear carbonato‐bridged copper(II) complex as well as a dinuclear copper(I) complex with BP ligands were structurally characterized. The reaction of a copper(I)–BP complex was investigated by low‐temperature stopped‐flow techniques, which showed that the very fast formation of a bis(µ‐oxido)copper intermediate leads to an intramolecular ligand hydroxylation. However, substrates such as benzyl alcohol could also be oxidized with this complex. In contrast, no intermediates could be observed spectroscopically for complexes with the BQ ligand or derivatives of this ligand. Instead, complex reaction behavior was observed when copper(II) chloride was treated with BQ in air or under inert conditions. Several crystal structures helped to establish mechanisms for these reactions. A coordination polymer was obtained as an interesting reaction product.

N-Chloramines are used as the oxidant together with dialkylsulfide. This Swern-type reaction can be performed at room temperature without an additional base and the dialkylsulfide may be used catalytically.

In this report, we investigated the reactivity of these mustard-based agents with both single- and double-stranded DNA constructs. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) were employed to obtain valuable insights into their mechanism at the molecular level and to investigate their time- and concentration-dependence. The results revealed the preferential formation of mono- and bifunctional adducts at nucleophilic guanine sites. In stepwise fashion, alkylation was followed by depurination and subsequent strand scission at the ensuing apurinic site. We demonstrated that the covalent modifications introduced by this new class of compounds can inhibit the activity of essential DNA-processing proteins, such as topoisomerase IIα, thus suggesting that bis-3-chloropiperidines may have excellent anticancer pote...

He studied chemistry first in Cologne and then in Bochum and obtained his doctorate degree (Dr. rer. nat.) there in 1973 with Wolfgang R. Roth. Subsequently, he did postdoctoral work at Princeton University with Maitland Jones, Jr. Back in Germany, he started his own, truly independent research in Bochum and obtained his Habilitation in 1981. It focused on the organometallic chemistry of the early transition metals,

Consistent with our expectations, compound 1 appears to intercalate into the DNA double helix, which can be observed by conformational changes of plasmid DNA suggesting alkylation and intercalation-induced DNA unwinding. The results of this work can provide a meaningful starting point for investigating the molecular mechanism of action of this novel DNA alkylating conjugate 1 with improved affinity for DNA.
