In this work two novel cationic lipids using natural tartaric acid as linking backbone were synthesized. These cationic lipids were simply constructed by tartaric acid backbone using head group 6-aminocaproic acid and saturated hydrocarbon chains dodecanol (T-C12-AH) or hexadecanol (T-C16-AH). The physicochemical properties, gel electrophoresis, transfection activities, and cytotoxicity of cationic liposomes were tested. The optimum formulation for T-C12-AH and T-C16-AH was at cationic lipid/dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) molar ratio of 1:0.5 and 1:2, respectively, and N/P charge molar ratio of 1:1 and 1:1, respectively. Under optimized conditions, T-C12-AH and T-C16-AH showed effective gene transfection capabilities, superior or comparable to that of commercially available transfecting reagent 3β-[N-(N′,N′-dimethylaminoethyl)carbamoyl]cholesterol (DC-Chol) and N-[2,3-dioleoyloxypropyl]-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride (DOTAP). The results demonstrated that the two novel tartaric acid-based cationic lipids exhibited low toxicity and efficient transfection performance, offering an excellent prospect as nonviral vectors for gene delivery.

Precise delivery of a proton plays a key role in O2 activation at iron oxygenases, enabling the crucial O?O cleavage step that generates the oxidizing high-valent metal–oxo species. Such a proton is delivered by acidic residues that may either
Novel bisubstrate uridine-peptide analogues bearing a pyrophosphate bioisostere as inhibitors of human O-GlcNAc transferase

Protein O-linked β-D-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modification (O-GlcNAcylation), an essential post-translational as well as cotranslational modification, is the attachment of β-D-N-acetylglucosamine to serine and threonine residues of nucleocytoplasmic proteins. An aberrant O-GlcNAc profile on certain proteins has been implicated in metabolic diseases such as diabetes and cancer. Inhibitors of O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) are valuable tools to study the cell biology of protein O-GlcNAc modification. In this study we report novel uridine-peptide conjugate molecules composed of an acceptor peptide covalently linked to a catalytically inactive donor substrate analogue that bears a pyrophosphate bioisostere and explore their inhibitory activities against OGT by a radioactive hOGT assay. Further, we investigate the structural basis of their activities via molecular modelling, explaining their lack of potency towards OGT inhibition.
