Pioneering electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) measurements of α-Bi2O3 are performed on three samples obtained through different synthesis methods. Experimental low-loss and core-loss EELS spectra are acquired. By combining them with detailed structural characterization and Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulations, we are able to detect and evaluate the presence of oxygen vacancies in the samples. This type of information has not been accessed previously from EELS data in bismuth oxide, because high-resolution EELS spectra or how vacancies reflect in Bi2O3 spectra were unreported. This novel measurement is further validated through comparison with photoluminescence data. Therefore, the technique has the ability to probe oxygen vacancies in Bi2O3 at an unprecedented resolution, which might allow solving material science and technological issues related to this material.

The spontaneous loss of sulfur or isocyanate from transient 7-thia-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-3-ones, which are initially formed by 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of thioisomünchnones with acetylenic dipolarophiles, is the key step in the chemoselective syntheses of pyridin-2-ones or thiophenes. The way by which sulfur is released has been the subject of previous studies pointing to a concerted retro-cheletropic mechanism as a more favorable route than the alternative stepwise pathway. The latter however, is apparently prevalent for elimination of isocyanate. Working with a conformationally-restricted bicyclic thioisomünchnone that undergoes facile cycloaddition with acetylenes, sulfur elimination has now been interrogated by experiment and theoretical calculations at the M06-2X and M11 methods in combination with the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set, which unveil rather a sigmatropic shift via the intermediacy of thiirane species. These results provide new vistas and synthetic opportunities in mesoionic cycloadditions.
 

Here is reported a combined experimental and computational study on the cycloadditions of bicyclic 1,3-thiazolium-4-olates, derived from thiazolidin-2-thiones, with asymmetrically-substituted acetylenes. These results provide further mechanistic insights into the above dipolar cycloadditions and enable an unequivocal characterization by NMR spectroscopy of regiochemical patterns as previous derivatives had substituents at both C-2 (in the dipole) and C-6 (in products). Accordingly, new dihydrothiazolopyrid-2-ones have been obtained from a thioisomünchnone lacking substitution at C-2. With the aim of assessing the steric hindrance as well as the facial stereoselection induced by a bulky group on the Si face (relative to C-7a) of the mesoionic heterocycle, a chiral thioisomünchnone has also been obtained along with the resulting optically active thiazolopyridones. A computational study of these particular cycloadditions, largely based on a natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis, allowed us to evaluate the influence of substituents on intermolecular steric repulsions, charge transfers, as well as solvent effects.
 

Marine secondary metabolites are a promising source of unexploited drugs that have a wide structural diversity and have shown a variety of biological activities. These compounds are produced in response to the harsh and competitive conditions that occur in the marine environment. Invertebrates are considered to be among the groups with the richest biodiversity. To date, a significant number of marine natural products (MNPs) have been established as antineoplastic drugs. This review gives an overview of MNPs, both in research or clinical stages, from diverse organisms that were reported as being active or potentially active in cancer treatment in the past seventeen years (from January 2000 until April 2017) and describes their putative mechanisms of action. The structural diversity of MNPs is also highlighted and compared with the small-molecule anticancer drugs in clinical use. In addition, this review examines the use of virtual screening for MNP-based drug discovery and reveals that classical approaches for the selection of drug candidates based on ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity) filtering may miss potential anticancer lead compounds. Finally, we introduce a novel and publically accessible chemical library of MNPs for virtual screening purposes.

The ability of the title compound to promote C–C coupling processes has been analyzed by examining its reactions with diazoalkanes, alkynes, and other unsaturated organic molecules. The title compound reacted with N2CPh2 at room temperature to give a mixture of ketenyl complex [Mo₂Cp2{μ-κ1:η2-C(Ph)CO}(μ-PCy2)(CO)(κ1-N2CPh2)] and carbyne complex [Mo2Cp2(μ-CPh)(μ-PCy2)(CO)(κ1-N2CPh2)], products which can be converted into each other by addition/removal of CO, respectively. In contrast, denitrogenation took place rapidly in analogous reactions with diazomethane and benzylazide at room temperature, to yield, respectively, the corresponding alkenyl [Mo2Cp2{μ-κ1:η2-C(Ph)CH2}(μ-PCy2)(CO)2] and iminoacyl [Mo2Cp2{μ-C(Ph)NCH2Ph}(μ-PCy2)(CO)2] derivatives, following from selective C–C and C–N couplings. The title compound reacted at 333 K with methyl propiolate to give the corresponding propenylylidene derivative [Mo2Cp2{μ-κ2:η3-CPhCHC(CO2Me)}(μ-PCy2)(CO)2], as a result of selective coupling of the carbyne ligand to the terminal carbon of the alkyne. A related complex could be obtained when using the internal alkyne dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate.

The dengue virus (DENV) nonstructural protein 5 (NS5) contains both an N-terminal methyltransferase domain and a C-terminal RNA-dependent RNA polymerase domain. Polymerase activity is responsible for viral RNA synthesis by a de novo initiation mechanism and represents an attractive target for antiviral therapy. The incidence of DENV has grown rapidly and it is now estimated that half of the human population is at risk of becoming infected with this virus. Despite this, there are no effective drugs to treat DENV infections. The present in silico study aimed at finding new inhibitors of the NS5 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of the four serotypes of DENV. We used a chemical library comprising 372,792 nonnucleotide compounds (around 325,319 natural compounds) to perform molecular docking experiments against a binding site of the RNA template tunnel of the virus polymerase. Compounds with high negative free energy variation (ΔG <-10.5 kcal/mol) were selected as putative inhibitors. Additional filters for favorable druggability and good absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity were applied. Finally, after the screening process was completed, we identified 39 compounds as lead DENV polymerase inhibitor candidates. Potentially, these compounds could act as efficient DENV polymerase inhibitors in vitro and in vivo.

Los miembros de la familia Flaviviridae causan una gran variedad de enfermedades en seres humanos y otras especies animales. Los  Flavivirus pueden transmitirse de los animales a los humanos por especies de vectores artrópodos tales como garrapatas y mosquitos. La familia Flaviviridae incluye cuatro géneros principales, Flavivirus, Pestivirus, Hepacivirus, y Pegivirus, así como algunos no clasificados viruses. El género Flavivirus  tiene un total de 67 virus, varios de los cuales infectan a los humanos, por ejemplo, el virus del dengue (DENV), el virus de la encefalitis japonesa, el virus de la fiebre amarilla, el virus del Nilo Occidental. El virus del dengue supone un grave riesgo para la salud humana, por ejemplo en 2013, causó  de 40 a 58 millones de infecciones sintomáticas, incluyendo 13.586 casos mortales. Sin embargo, a pesar de su enorme impacto en la salud pública en todo el mundo, las terapias antivirales eficaces contra DENV y otros flavivirus no se han desarrollado todavía.

La incidencia de DENV ha crecido rápidamente y ahora se estima que la mitad de la población humana está en riesgo de infectarse con este virus. A pesar de esto, no hay medicamentos eficaces para el tratamiento de infecciones de DENV. El presente estudio está dirigido a la búsqueda de nuevos inhibidores de la ARN polimerasa dependiente de ARN NS5 de los cuatro serotipos de DENV. Se utilizó una biblioteca química que comprende 372,792 compuestos no nucleótidos (alrededor de 325,319 compuestos naturales) para llevar a cabo experimentos de acoplamiento molecular contra un sitio de unión del túnel plantilla de ARN del virus de la polimerasa. Los compuestos con la variación de energía libre negativa alta (ΔG<-10,5 kcal / mol) fueron seleccionados como los inhibidores putativos. Se aplicaron filtros adicionales para una farmacobilidad favorable y buena absorción, distribución, metabolismo, excreción y toxicidad. Finalmente, después se completó el proceso de selección y se identificaron 39 compuestos como candidatos a inhibidores de la polimerasa. Potencialmente, estos compuestos podrían actuar como inhibidores de la polimerasa DENV como eficaces in vitro e in vivo.  Por otro lado, los investigadores de la UMH han creado la web http://docking.umh.es para consultar los datos primarios de los experimentos de acoplamiento moleculares todas las  diferentes proteínas y bibliotecas químicas evaluadas. 

De este modo, de un total de más 325.000 compuestos, se han seleccionado 39 compuestos que se proponen para ser evaluados in vitro e in vivo reduciendo a un 0,012% el número de compuestos interesantes. Estos trabajos de modelado que han permitido evaluar el alto número de compuestos han sido realizados en el supercomputador LUSITANIA II. A partir de este trabajo,  se abre el camino a otros investigadores,  y se expone un conjunto muy limitado de compuestos para ser evaluados in vivo e in vitro y que permitan acercar y posibilitar la creación de una vacuna del virus Dengue. 

This paper explores the computer modelling aided design and synthesis of β-N-acetylhexosaminidase inhibitors along with their applicability to human disease treatment through biological evaluation in both an enzymatic and cellular setting. We investigated the importance of individual stereocenters, variations in structure–activity relationships along with factors influencing cell penetration. To achieve these goals we modified nitrogen heterocycles in terms of ring size, side chains present and ring nitrogen derivatization. By reducing the inhibitor interactions with the active site down to the essentials we were able to determine that besides the established 2S,3R trans-relationship, the presence and stereochemistry of the CH2OH side chain is of crucial importance for activity. In terms of cellular penetration, N-butyl side chains favour cellar uptake, while hydroxy- and carboxy-group bearing sidechains on the ring nitrogen retarded cellular penetration. Furthermore we show an early proof of principle study that β-N-acetylhexosaminidase inhibitors can be applicable to use in a potential anti-invasive anti-cancer strategy.

Achieving optimal performance of MPI applications on current multi-core architectures, composed of multiple shared communication channels and deep memory hierarchies, is not trivial. Formal analysis using parallel performance models allows one to depict the underlying behavior of the algorithms and their communication complexities, with the aims of estimating their cost and improving their performance.

LogGP model was initially conceived to predict the cost of algorithms in mono-processor clusters based on point-to-point transmissions with network latency and bandwidth based parameters. It remains as the representative model, with multiple extensions for handling high performance networks, covering particular contention cases, channels hierarchies or protocol costs. These very specific branches lead LogGP to partially lose its initial abstract modeling purpose.

More recent lognP represents a point-to-point transmission as a sequence of implicit transfers or data movements. Nevertheless, similar to LogGP, it models an algorithm in a parallel architecture as a sequence of message transmissions, an approach inefficient to model algorithms more advanced than simple tree-based one, as we will show in this work.

In this paper, ττ–Lop model is extended to multi-core clusters and compared to previous models. It demonstrates the ability to predict the cost of advanced algorithms and mechanisms used by mainstream MPI implementations, such as MPICH or Open MPI, with high accuracy. ττ–Lop is based on the concept of concurrent transfers, and applies it to meaningfully represent the behavior of parallel algorithms in complex platforms with hierarchical shared communication channels, taking into account the effects of contention and deployment of processes on the processors. In addition, an exhaustive and reproducible methodology for measuring the parameters of the model is described.

Modeling and formal analysis of parallel algorithms contribute to optimize their performance. Modern multi-core are complex machines composed of heterogeneous shared communication channels. Parallel Performance Models estimate the cost and capture the behavior of parallel algorithms through a set of parameters, providing valuable information about the behavior of the algorithm in these platforms. LogGP is a representative model using network related parameters to predict the cost of parallel algorithms as a sequence of point-to-point transmissions. Although extensions have been proposed for covering issues derived from modern platforms complexities as contention and channels hierarchy, such specific extensions are not enough to meaningfully and accurately model more than simple algorithms. τ–Lop is an alternative model that takes as a building block for modeling parallel algorithms the concept of concurrent transfers, that helps to capture algorithms behavior and allows to represent and accurately predict their cost in multi-core clusters. This paper shows the analysis capabilities of τ–Lop through two cases of study involving elaborated MPI collective operations. 

Dimeric cyclophosphazanes [{P(μ-NR)}2(μ-NR)]2 [R = tBu ( 1) and iPr ( 3)] were oxidized with elemental selenium. During these reactions an unexpected C–N bond cleavage and N–H bond formation occurred. Compound 1 produced P4(μ-NtBu)3(μ-NH)3Se4 ( 2) where three tBu groups were lost in the form of isobutylene. In contrast, during the oxidation of the less sterically hindered 3, the resulting product, P4(μ-NiPr)5(μ-NH)Se4 ( 4), showed only one substituent loss. Theoretical studies confirmed the steric nature of the driving force underlying the different outcomes.

New N-methylimidazole (N-MeIm) complexes of the {Mo(η3-allyl)-(CO)2(N−N)} fragment have been prepared, in which the N,N-bidentate chelate ligand is a 2-pyridylimine. The addition of a strong base to the new compounds deprotonates the central CH group of the imidazole ligand and subsequently forms the C−C coupling product that results from the nucleophilic attack to the imine C atom. This reactivity contrasts with that previously found for the analogous 2,2′bipyridine compounds [Mo(η3-allyl)(CO)2-(bipy)(N-RIm)]OTf [N-RIm = N-MeIm, N-mesitylimidazole (N-MesIm, Mes=2,4,6-trimethylphenyl); OTf = trifluoromethanesulfonate) which afforded imidazol-2-yl complexes upon deprotonation. Density Functional Theory (DFT) computations uncover that the reactivity of the imine C atom along with its ability to delocalize electron density are responsible for the new reactivity pattern found for the kind of molybdenum complexes reported herein.

Regioselective Tandem [4 + 1]–[4 + 2] Synthesis of Amino-Substituted Dihydroxanthones and Xanthones.
Journal of Organic Chemistry. May 2015.
DOI: 10.1021/acs.joc.5b00658

A highly convergent and operationally simple approach to mycotoxin-related 4-amino-substituted 1-hydroxydihydroxanthones is described. The target compounds are obtained in one pot by the multicomponent reaction of 3-carbonylchromones, isocyanides, and nonsymmetric dienophiles. The reaction, which involves a tandem [4 + 1]–[4 + 2] cycloaddition, efficiently affords a variety of both monomeric and dimeric polysubstituted dihydroxanthones structurally similar to bioactive ergochromes. Further aromatization to the corresponding xanthones is readily achieved by treatment with DBU under microwave irradiation.

Las operaciones colectivas definidas en el estándar MPI de paso de mensajes, para sistemas de múltiples procesadores, se pueden implementar mediante varios algoritmos. El modelado formal del coste de estos algoritmos permite su comparación, además del análisis de su rendimiento de manera independiente de la máquina. 

Los métodos utilizados actualmente derivan de LogP, un modelo concebido para representar el coste de mensajes punto a punto entre nodos monoprocesador en una red de comunicaciones. Sin embargo, los supercomputadores actuales se construyen en base a nodos que integran cada vez más cores accediendo a la jerarquía de memoria, y la comunicación dentro del nodo adquiere relevancia. Las técnicas para comunicar procesos en memoria compartida, como la segmentación de mensajes o las operaciones colectivas no basadas en mensajes punto a punto, son muy diferentes a las utilizadas para comunicar procesos a través de una red, y requieren de nuevos métodos de representación.

Usando como recurso el supercomputador LUSITANIA, el trabajo de estos investigadores profundiza en las razones de la falta de precisión de LogGP y otros modelos más recientes como LognP y m lognP, y propone un nuevo modelo, denominado τ−Lop, cuyo objetivo es modelar de forma precisa y representativa las comunicaciones MPI en memoria compartida. En el estudio se modelan y analizan algunos de los algoritmos utilizados para implementar la operación colectiva MPI broadcast en las bibliotecas MPI más conocidas: MPICH y OpenMPI.
