Abstract
DNA coordinating platinum (Pt) containing compounds cisplatin and carboplatin have been used for the treatment of ovarian cancer therapy for four decades. However, recurrent Pt-resistant cancers are a major cause of mortality. To combat Pt-resistant ovarian cancers, we designed and synthesized a conjugate of an anticancer drug mithramycin with a reactive Pt(II) bearing moiety, which we termed mithplatin. The conjugates displayed both the Mg2+ -dependent noncovalent DNA binding characteristic of mithramycin and the covalent crosslinking to DNA of the Pt. The conjugate was three times as potent as cisplatin against ovarian cancer cells. The DNA lesions caused by the conjugate led to the generation of DNA double-strand breaks, as also observed with cisplatin. Nevertheless, the conjugate was highly active against both Pt-sensitive and Pt-resistant ovarian cancer cells. This study paves the way to developing mithplatins to combat Pt-resistant ovarian cancers.

Abstract
Unusual lipid modification of K-Ras makes Ras-directed cancer therapy a challenging task. Aiming to disrupt electrostatic-driven protein-protein interactions (PPIs) of K-Ras with FTase and GGTase I, a series of bivalent dual inhibitors that recognize the active pocket and the common acidic surface of FTase and GGTase I were designed. The structure-activity-relationship study resulted in 8 b, in which a biphenyl-based peptidomimetic FTI-277 was attached to a guanidyl-containing gallate moiety through an alkyl linker. Cell-based evaluation demonstrated that 8 b exhibited substantial inhibition of K-Ras processing without apparent interference with Rap-1A processing. Fluorescent imaging showed that 8 b disrupts localization of K-Ras to the plasma membrane and impairs interaction with c-Raf, whereas only FTI-277 was found to be inactive. These results suggest that targeting the PPI interface of K-Ras may provide an alternative method of inhibiting K-Ras.

Abstract
Cyclohexane and cyclotri-β-alanyl have been used as scaffolds for the design of new C3 -symmetric rings incorporating conjugated alkenes and dienes. All three C3 -symmetric lactams share the same triangular shape and their crystal system is trigonal. They all belong to the R3 space group, R3m, R3 and R3c, for the increasingly large 12-, 18- and 24-membered rigid rings, respectively. All lactams stack on top of each other, through H-bonds and van der Waals noncovalent interactions, leading to endless supramolecular cylinders and tubes. The largest member of the family leads to tubes, the central pores of which is wide enough to let water in. A common feature of all the lactams is their very large dipole, of around 9 D, according to DFT calculations. Surprisingly, all the resulting cylinders and tubes pack side by side in the crystals, with all the dipoles pointing to the same direction. As a result, all three crystals are anisotropic and appear to be the first members of a new kind of highly polar crystals.

Abstract
Optically pure sitagliptin phosphate monohydrate is efficiently and practically synthesized through a chiral hemiacetal as the key intermediate in 54% overall yield starting from (E)-4-(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)but-2-enal and N-boc-protected hydroxylamine. The chiral hemiacetal fragment is constructed by a tandem aza-Michael/hemiacetal reaction catalyzed by an organocatalyst and the influence of acidity of Brønsted acid on tandem aza-Michael/hemiacetal reaction is researched in detail.
