Years after the first report on 1,4-dihydropyridines (1,4-DHPs) and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidines (1,2,3,4-THPMs) appeared, they are revisited as plausible therapeutic agents. This is mainly due to the convenient methods that exist for their synthesis and the diverse pharmacologic properties that these scaffolds present. 1,4-Dihydropyridines and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidines are usually regarded as analogous in several aspects. They are both prepared in multi-component reactions using very similar starting materials and synthesis protocols. This leads to common structural features between 1,4-DHPs and 1,2,3,4-THPMs, as well several related biological effects. For example, they share many pharmacological features such as analgesic, anti-tumor, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitubercular, antibacterial, cardiovascular and adrenoceptor blocking activities. Numerous reviews have been devoted to the chemistry and cardiovascular effects of these compounds. However, the lack of a comprehensive literature overview on the chemotherapeutic ability of these scaffolds is behind the present attempt to provide a detailed survey of 1,4-DHPs and 1,2,3,4-THPMs and their structural features as chemotherapeutic agents.

I don't usually like metal puzzles much, but the Tetra Puzzle is way cool! A tetrahedron is a fascinating shape and the way the four congruent interlocking pieces come together is very satisfying. This puzzle is very fun to manipulate and looks great on display too. It's cool to the touch and to the eye and has a nice heft to it as well. I highly recommend the Tetra Puzzle from Craighill!
A scatter plot of the missing mass of the tetraneutron vs the relative energy between two α particles, together with the projected histogram for Eαα. The solid (red) and dashed (blue) curves in (a) represent the response functions for Be8(0+) and Be8(2+), respectively. The magnitudes of the response functions are described in the text.
(a) Missing-mass spectrum of the tetraneutron system. The solid (red) curve represents the sum of the direct decay of correlated two-neutron pairs and the estimated background. The dashed (blue) curve represents the estimated background multiplied by a factor of 10. The schematic of the decay process is discussed in the text. (b) Evaluation of the goodness of fit for each bin using the likelihood ratio test. The si were defined in Eq. (3).

A wide range of cellular processes are modulated through the generation and attachment of polyubiquitin (polyUb) chains to target proteins. Increasing evidence suggests that polyUb chains joined through linear peptide bonds between the C-terminus of one ubiquitin and the N-terminus of another play important functional roles. The enzyme machinery responsible for the generation of linear polyUb chains has been termed LUBAC, consisting of HOIL-1L and HOIP. Chains of these type have an open conformation, similar to polyUb K63, but with very distinct functional properties. Linear polyUb chains are cleaved by the deubiquitylases CYLD, USP5 (IsoT), USP2 and have been shown to bind to many UBDs including NEMO and Trabin-n (3xnzf). These specific chains are not cleaved by the linear specific deubiquitylase Otulin and have applications as a control.Recombinant tetraubiquitin expressed as a linear chain. Amide linkages join the N- and C-terminus of each ubiquitin molecule to each other. This molecule is His-tagged at the N-terminus of the most distal ubiquitin.
General comment: Although the findings that tetrasulphide bridged MONs for pDNA transfection in Hela (cancer) cells and tetrasulphide bridged MONs enhance pDNA transfection efficacy have been reported, these studies lack relevant studies on the effect of MON structural difference on pDNA transfection. In the present manuscript, the effect of tetrasulphide bonds within MONs on pDNA transfection and translation efficacy is investigated. The findings in this manuscript may provide a new design principle of nano delivery systems where the pDNA delivery to DCs is important. To better facilitate the reader's understanding of this study, the following suggestions should be considered.
General comment: This paper presents the interest of MONs containing tetrasulfide groups to induce pDNA transfection in cells thanks to a GSH depletion in DC cells. This study complements the recently published paper ref 19. The study seems properly conducted, but minor revisions should be applied before publication.
Comment 2: Furthermore, MONs or PMOs with disulfide or tetrasulfide groups have been studied, that degrade under GSH (See the works of L de Cola, JO Durand, and F Tamanoi). Is there any evidence of NPs degradation under GSH in the case of the present MONs?
General comment: This manuscript introduces the mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles modified with tetrasulphide bond to enhance the plasmid DNA delivery. The manuscript is very well written, and the experiments are well conducted and explained. I recommend the publication of the article after performing the following:
General comment: The authors investigated the ability of tetra sulfide bridged mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (MONs) for pDNA transfection performance in DC cell lines. The overall study is interesting, and a good read. The paper can be considered for publication.
A variety of halogenated phosphorousoxide triazatetrabenzcorroles (complexes 9, 11, and 13) wereprepared by treatment of unmetallated phthalocyanines with PBr3 inpyridine according to literature procedures [19]. The products thus obtainedwere then subjected to silica gel column chromatography using pyridine as aneluant.
Fluorescence lifetimes (τF, Table 3) were calculated usingthe Strickler-Berg equation. Using thisequation, a good correlation has been [35] found betweenexperimentally and theoretically determined lifetimes for the unaggregatedmolecules as found in this work. Thus, we believe that the values obtainedusing this equation are a good measure of fluorescence lifetimes. Halogenationis expected to decrease fluorescence quantum yields and lifetimes, increasetriplet-state formation, and shorten triplet lifetime. Thus, as expected, the τF values of the halogenatedderivatives were lowerthan for unsubstituted PTBC and lower than generally observed for MPc complexes [35]. Octasubstitution withchlorines increased the τF values compared to tetrasubstituted derivatives when comparing complexes 11 and 13. It is also interesting to note that a decrease in fluorescencelifetime was observed upon contraction of the ring in tin tetrasulphonated α,β,γ-tetrabenzcorrolescompared to tin tetrasulphonated phthalocyanines[12].
The triplet lifetimes forthe PTBC derivatives, ranging from 256 to 1740 microseconds, are listed in Table 2. The latter valuewas observed for the unsubstituted PTBC (Table 2) and it is an unusually hightriplet lifetime. Such high values arerare for MPc complexes [34]. Values in the millisecond range have been reportedfor AlPc derivatives, however they are still not as high as the value observedhere for unsubstituted PTBC. Thepresence of the halogens was expected to lower the triplet lifetimes (whencompared to unhalogenated PTBC (7)), asobserved in Table 2; with the octasubstituted complex, 13, giving the lowest triplet lifetime.Contrary to the heavy atom effect, which results in the decrease in triplet lifetimeswith an increase in the size of the halogen [26], this work shows an increasein lifetime on going from the chlorinated (11)to brominated (9) PTBC derivatives, withthe octachlorinated (13) complex showingthe lowest triplet lifetime. The latter(13) could have a lower tripletlifetime than the tetrachlorinated derivative (11)due to the plurality of chlorine atoms and the heavy atom effect.
We have recently [12]shown that upon contraction of the ring in tin tetrasulphonated α,β,γ-tetrabenzcorrole compared to tin tetrasulphonatedphthalocyanine, there was a decrease in ΦT values and the triplet lifetimes.However, the lifetimes reported here for PTBC derivatives are high compared toMPc complexes in general.
