A new method for the synthesis of highly substituted allyl azides by carboazidation of allenes catalyzed by palladium complexes is described. Treatment of 1,1-dimethylallene (1a) with an aromatic iodide ArI 2 (4-CH3COC6H4I, 4-CH3OC6H4I, 3-CH3OC6H4I, 4-CH3C6H4I, 3-CH3C6H4I, 3-C2H5OCOC6H4I, 4-C2H5OCOC6H4I, 4-ClC6H4I, 3-BrC6H4I or 1-iodothiophene), (CH3)3SiN3 and KOAc in the presence of Pd(dba)2 (...

BACKGROUND Therapies that inhibit androgen receptor (AR) are needed for treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). The ErbB3 binding protein 1 (EBP1) reduces protein expression of both AR and its target genes in CRPC. Although EBP1 regulates AR in hormone-sensitive prostate cancer cells, by both destabilizing AR mRNA and inhibiting protein translation, the mechanism of EBP1 down ...

In this work, the latest development of monolithic microLED display for Augmented Reality (AR) applications is reported, with focus on R/G/B monochrome panels and polychrome projectors from Jade Bird Display Limited (JBD). State‐of‐the‐art Red, Green, Blue panel performances are presented. Integration through x‐cube led to world's smallest full‐color projector only 0.4cc in volume, ready be com...

Heterogeneous "naked-eye" colorimetric and spectrophotometric cation sensors were prepared by immobilization of an azobenzene-coupled receptor onto mesoporous silica (AR-SiO(2)) or titania nanoparticles (AR-TiO(2)) via sol-gel or hydrolysis reactions. The optical sensing ability of AR-SiO(2) was studied by addition of metal ions such as K(+), Ca(2+), Sr(2+), Co(2+), Cd(2+), Pb(2+), Zn(2+), Fe(3...

Androgen receptor (AR) recruitment of transcriptional corepressors NCoR and SMRT can be enhanced by antagonists such as mifepristone. This study shows that enhanced NCoR binding to the mifepristone-liganded AR is mediated by the NCoR COOH-terminal N1 CoRNR box and that this selectivity is due to charged residues unique to the COOH-terminal CoRNR boxes of NCoR and SMRT. Significantly, these resi...

OBJECTIVES Free ritonavir, lopinavir and efavirenz injected intraperitoneally were compared with antiretroviral (AR) nanoparticles (NPs). METHODS This is a prospective study in BALB/c mice comparing the pharmacokinetics of free drugs with AR NPs. All animals received free drugs or AR NPs (20 mg/kg) in PBS. In vitro replication assays were used for determination of the anti-HIV efficacy of NP ...
