  • Patent number: 8450493
    Abstract: The present invention belongs to a spiro phosphine-oxazoline and preparation method and application thereof, particularly, publishes a novel spiro phosphine-oxazoline and the preparation method of its iridium complex. The substituted 7-diaryl phosphino-7?-carboxy-1,1?-Lo-dihydro-indene is used as the starting raw material to synthesize the novel spiro phosphine-oxazoline of the present invention through a two-step reaction. The novel spiro phosphine-oxazoline and the iridium precursor are complexed to become a complex, and then through ion exchange, an iridium/phosphine spiro-oxazoline complex with different anions can be obtained. The present invention overcomes the shortcomings of the existing technology. The cheap readily available amino alcohol is used as the raw material to synthesize the novel spiro phosphine-oxazoline, on the fourth position of the oxazoline ring of which there is no substitutent.

  • Publication number: 20110124602
    Abstract: A small-molecule Stat3 dimerization inhibitor, S3I-M2001, is described and the dynamics of intracellular processing of activated Stat3 within the context of the biochemical and biological effects of the Stat3 chemical probe inhibitor are elucidated. S3I-M2001 is a newly-identified oxazole-based peptidomimetic of the Stat3 Src Homology (SH) 2 domain-binding phosphotyrosine peptide that selectively disrupts active Stat3:Stat3 dimers. Stat3-dependent malignant transformation, survival, and migration and invasion of mouse and human cancer cells harboring persistently-activated Stat3 were inhibited by S3I-M2001. S3I-M2001 inhibited Stat3-dependent transcriptional regulation of tumor survival genes, such as Bcl-xL. The disclosed compound is useful as a new potential treatment for certain cancers.
