Nanoparticles that target the mitochondria of tumor cells to restore oxygen supply for photodynamic therapy: Design and preclinical validation against breast cancer.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy, in which photosensitizers locally generate cytotoxic reactive oxygen species, can treat tumor tissue with minimal effects on surrounding normal tissue, but it can be ineffective because of the anoxic tumor microenvironment. Here we developed a strategy to inactivate the mitochondria of tumor cells in order to ensure adequate local oxygen concentrations for photodynamic therapy. We conjugated the photosensitizer 5-aminolevulinic acid to the lipophilic cation triphenylphosphine, which targets mitochondria. Then we packaged the conjugate into nanoparticles that were based on biocompatible bovine serum albumin and coated with folic acid in order to target the abundant folate receptors on the tumor surface. In studies in cell culture and BALB/c mice bearing MCF-7 xenografts, we found that the nanoparticles helped solubilize the cation-photosensitizer conjugate, prolong its circulation, and enhance its photodynamic antitumor effects. We confirmed the ability of the nanoparticles to target tumor cells and their mitochondria using confocal laser microscopy and in vivo assays of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and tissue distribution. Our results not only identify a novel nanoparticle system for treating cancer, but they demonstrate the feasibility of enhancing photodynamic therapy by reducing oxygen consumption within tumors.

Abstract
The scope of Bergman cyclization is expanded computationally by exploring the cyclization in inorganic B, N substituted derivative. This substitution has introduced polarity into the transition state, which resulted in dramatic lowering of the activation barrier. Natural charge distribution throughout the reaction profile has ascertained this hypothesis. Single B and N atom substitution at 1 and 6 terminal positions lowers the activation barrier by almost half of the original value which becomes even lower in the complete B, N analogue. The parent Bergman and single B, N substituted products were characterized by significant biradical character while the complete B, N substituted analogue was characterized by significant zwitterionic character. Reduction in electron delocalization is also observed in the complete B, N substituted analogue.

Abstract
AbstractGiven the wide array of current applications of borazine-based materials, synthetic access to these compounds is of importance. This review summarizes the many ways of preparing borazines and its carbo-substituted analogues. In addition, the functionalization of borazines is covered. The synthesis of molecules incorporating more than one borazine units as well as aspects of unsymmetrically substituted borazines are not included. The literature has been covered comprehensively until the end of 2020.1 Introduction: Structure and Properties of Borazine2 Synthesis of Parent Borazine3 Synthesis of N-Substituted Borazines4 Synthesis of B-Halo/B-Halo-N-Substituted Borazines5 Synthesis of B-Substituted Borazines6 Synthesis of Polycyclic Borazines Containing One Borazine Ring7 Modifications or Hydrolysis of the Borazine Ring8 Borazine Metal Complexes9 Outlook and Conclusion

Abstract
The first trans-selective cyanoboration reaction of an alkyne, specifically a 1,3-enyne, is described. The reported palladium-catalyzed cyanoboration of 1,3-enynes is site-, regio-, and diastereoselective, and is uniquely enabled by the 1,4-azaborine-based Senphos ligand structure. Tetra-substituted alkenyl nitriles are obtained providing useful boron-dienenitrile building blocks that can be further functionalized. The utility of our method has been demonstrated with the synthesis of Satigrel, an anti-platelet aggregating agent.

Abstract
Five compounds containing boron–boron multiple bonds are shown to undergo hydrophosphination reactions with diphenylphosphine in the absence of a catalyst. With diborenes, the products obtained are highly dependent on the substitution pattern at the boron atoms, with both 1,1- and 1,2-hydrophosphinations observed. With a symmetrical diboryne, 1,2-hydrophosphination yields a hydro(phosphino)diborene. The different mechanistic pathways for the hydrophosphination of diborenes are rationalised with the aid of density functional theory calculations. Compounds containing boron–boron double and triple bonds are shown to undergo uncatalysed hydrophosphination reactions with diphenylphosphine.![]()
