Plenary Lectures PL 1 New Directions in the Chemical Design of Materials C.N.R. Rao Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research Bangalore 560 064, India Chemical design of materials is gaining increasing importance in the last few years. This is not only due to the novelty of the methods of synthesis, but also because of the unusual structures and the associated properties of the materials, prepared by chemical methods. A large proportion of the materials obtained by this means are metastable. In this presentation, an attempt will be made to present some of the highlights of chemical design, taking case studies from various areas of interest. These will include open-framework structures and inorganic-organic hybrids. New classes of inorganic nanotubes and other types of nanostructured materials will be discussed. 3 PL 2 ICOSECS 4 - Chemical Sciences in Changing Times: Visions, Challenges and Solutions From Genomes to Cellular Mechanisms and Drug Design Ivano Bertini University of Florence, CERM, Via Luigi Sacconi 6, Sesto Fiorentino (FI), Italy By browsing genomes and analysing the results through bioinformatic tools, it is possible to guess cellular pathways till now unexplored. This is the case of copper homeostasis and assembling of cytochrome c oxidase. The proteins are then produced and structurally characterized. This can be considered structural genomics. From the structure, the transfer pathways are discussed in details. Whenever possible comparison is performed among different living beings. Extracellular human zinc proteinases are also looked for in the genoma and their validation as p harmacological targets is looked for in the literature. Some of them are produced and inhibitors as candidate drugs are investigated. 4 Plenary Lectures PL 3 Mechanisms of the Formation of Uniform Fine Particles and Their Applications Egon Matijević Center for Advanced Materials Processing, Clarkson University, Potsdam, New York 13699-5814, USA [email protected] Since many properties of particles depend on their size and shape, it is hardly necessary to stress the importance of the uniformity of finely dispersed matter in science, technology, and medicine. While in the recent past the major focus has been on the colloidal matter, presently the interest has expanded to simple and composite nanosized materials. Although some may believe the latter TO represent a new field of science, it will be shown that such systems have been recognized already 150 years ago. The most versatile technique for the production of many, if not most, well defined dispersions is by precipitation from solutions. It has always been understood that in this process nanosize particles must be intermediates, which were assumed to grow further by attachment of constituent solute species to yield the final larger products. However, it has now been amply documented that in a large number of cases the essential stage in colloid formation is the aggregation of the nanosized precursors. The major task is then to elucidate how this mechanism may produce monodispersed colloids. A model defining conditions that result in the size selection will be described, and its application to several experimental test systems will be demonstrated. While the model is capable of explaining the formation of uniform spheres, the next challenge is to resolve the question of different particle shapes, also generated by the aggregation of smaller primary subunits. The understanding of the underlying processes can be used to design methods for the preparation of dispersions to desired specifications for various applications. Examples will be offered on the effects of uniform nanometer and micrometer size particles, alone and in mixtures, in diverse areas, including the formation of uniform drugs of different morphologies, of pigments, of fluorescent dispersions for medical diagnostics, and of well defined slurries for chemical mechanical polishing of wafers. 5 PL 4 ICOSECS 4 - Chemical Sciences in Changing Times: Visions, Challenges and Solutions Modern Trends in Chemical Education Peter Atkins University of Oxford, England [email protected] What are the present trends in chemical education? In this talk, I examine the trends in education in introductory chemistry and in physical chemistry. I begin by looking at the issues that currently confront us: the decline in mathematical activity, prejudice against the subject (or at least its industrial manifestations), and a variety of aspects of the subject that deter students from it. However, it is possible to regard each of these problems as a challenge, and I explore ways in which we can rebuild our subject. There will be nothing radical, just looking for opportunities to convert pessimism into optimism. There are many trends afoot. One modern thrust of education is the inclusion of biological examples, and I will explore how that can be done without losing sight of the core ideas of the subject, and warn against certain dangers. Multimedia opens up great opportunities, of course. But there are also dangers in relying to heavily on multimedia rather than the intellectual rigor of books, and I will examine this issue. For introductory chemistry, I identify what I regard as the handful of core ideas that any scientifically aware student should know. In physical chemistry I shall identify the structure of the subject and the core knowledge we expect. In this connection, I attempt to identify the handful of core equations and ask how the mathematical component of chemistry can be rendered palatable. 6 Plenary Lectures PL 5 Beyond the Molecular Frontier — Chemistry Challenges for the Future Ronald Breslow Department of Chemistry, Columbia University, New York, NY 10027, USA Chemistry has been called the Creative and Useful Science, since the new substances and new reactions and processes invented by chemists have added enormously to human welfare. However, the Challenges and Opportunities for the future are at least as exciting as are chemistry’s past achievements. In a recent survey of chemistry and chemical engineering — for which Ronald Breslow and Matthew Tirrell were the co-leaders — these challenges and opportunities have been outlined across the broad range of areas, including in particular those that are the focus of ICOSECS-4. In this talk some of the future advances in chemistry will be described that will let us continue to bring benefits to humanity while increasing our fundamental understanding of the natural world and of its created extensions. 7 PL 6 ICOSECS 4 - Chemical Sciences in Changing Times: Visions, Challenges and Solutions Electrospray Wings for Molecular Elephants John Fenn Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA 23284, USA Small effusive leaks into vacuum systems, as in Knudsen cells and classical molecular beam machines, made many conributions to science in the twentieth century. They have continued to serve both both science and technology in the early years of the twenty first. Beginning in the 1950s, big convective leaks have turned out to be even more powerful and versatile tools. The supersonic free jets produced by these big leaks have greatly extended molecular beam methods, become a corner-stone of cluster science and technology, and rewritten the book on molecular spectroscopy. Thoss jets are now adding new dimensions to the techniques of mass mass spectrometry by making possible the production of intact ions from the large, complex and fragile species that play such vital roles in living systems. The path from the first crude experiments of Dunoyer into the groves of atomic and molecular physics followed along the trail blazed by Otto Stern and his disciples. That trail was then extended into the fertile fields of chemistry, by the likes of Herschbach, Lee, Polanyi, Smalley, Zare and Zewail, five of whom received Nobel Prizes for their contributions. More recently that trail entererd the lush gardens of biology where mass spectrometry is providing bumper crops of information and understanding. This

Abd El-Kadder Assistant Professor at Horticulture Research Institute Agricultural Research Center Pharmacognosy Department Faculty of Pharmacy Cairo University 2018 1 Abstract: Aiming to identify and authenticate Sequoia sempervirens (D.Don Endl) and Taxodium distichum (L.Rich) cultivated in Egypt. RAPD technique was employed to identify unique DNA markers and establish a typical fingerprint for S. sempervirens and T. distichum. The amplification profile of S. sempervirens was screened and a total of 18 different RAPD fragments had been recorded while the amplification profile of T. distichum was screened and a total of 15 different RAPD fragments had been recorded. Macromorphological and micromorphological studies of S. sempervirens and T. distichum had been done. The results of preliminary phytochemical screening of both plants showed the absence of alkaloids, anthraquinones, catechol tannins or cardiac glycosides in non-flowering parts of S. sempervirens and T. distichum. Sterols and/or triterpenoids, pyrogallol tannins, carbohydrate and/or glycosides and flavonoids were detected in all of the tested parts of the plants.

    Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences PhD Course in Pharmaceutical Sciences (XXIX Cycle) Synthesis of New Sulfurated Derivatives of Natural and Synthetic Systems as Multitarget Anticancer Agents and Development of New Drug Discovery Methodologies Supervisor: Prof. Anna SPARATORE Coordinator: Prof. Marco DE AMICI PhD Thesis of: Elena Gabriele R10658 Academic year 2015/2016 “I don’t believe there would be any science at all without intuition.” Rita Levi Montalcini A mio marito e ai miei genitori Preface This thesis is divided in two parts. The former has been carried out at the Universitá degli Studi di Milano, department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, in the research group of Professor Anna Sparatore. This project treats the synthesis of new sulfurated compounds with the aim of obtaining anticancer agents acting through a multitarget mechanism. This part, entitled "design and synthesis of new derivatives of natural and synthetic systems endowed with anticancer activity, through a multitarget mechanism" is discussed from page 1 to page 149. The latter has been developed at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich), Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences (IPW), under the supervision and in the research group of Professor Dario Neri. This project explains the advantages of using DNA-encoded chemical libraries (DECLs) in drug discovery process. In particular, since in the majority of cases DECLs require at least one-step of amide bond formation between amino modified DNA and a carboxylic acid, we optimized a new methodology of synthesis in order to facilitate the construction of single-pharmacophore libraries (DECLs). This part, entitled "optimized reaction conditions for amide bond formation in DNA-encoded combinatorial libraries" is discussed from page 151 to page 187.

  • Hydrogenation of Small Aromatic Heterocycles at Low Temperatures
    MNRAS 000,1–8 (2021) Preprint 25 May 2021 Compiled using MNRAS LATEX style file v3.0 Hydrogenation of small aromatic heterocycles at low temperatures April M. Miksch,1 Annalena Riffelt,1 Ricardo Oliveira,2 Johannes Kästner,1 and Germán Molpeceres,1¢ 1Institute for Theoretical Chemistry, University of Stuttgart, Stuttgart, Germany 2Chemistry Institute, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Accepted XXX. Received YYY; in original form ZZZ ABSTRACT The recent wave of detections of interstellar aromatic molecules has sparked interest in the chemical behavior of aromatic molecules under astrophysical conditions. In most cases, these detections have been made through chemically related molecules, called proxies, that implicitly indicate the presence of a parent molecule. In this study, we present the results of the theoretical evaluation of the hydrogenation reactions of different aromatic molecules (benzene, pyridine, pyrrole, furan, thiophene, silaben- zene, and phosphorine). The viability of these reactions allows us to evaluate the resilience of these molecules to the most important reducing agent in the interstellar medium, the hydrogen atom (H). All significant reactions are exothermic and most of them present activation barriers, which are, in several cases, overcome by quantum tunneling. Instanton reaction rate constants are provided between 50 K and 500 K. For the most efficiently formed radicals, a second hydrogenation step has been studied. We propose that hydrogenated derivatives of furan, pyrrole, and specially 2,3-dihydropyrrole, 2,5-dihydropyrrole, 2,3-dihydrofuran, and 2,5-dihydrofuran are promising candidates for future interstellar detections.
