Discovery of Macrocyclic Myeloid Cell Leukemia 1 (Mcl-1)Inhibitors that Demonstrate Potent Cellular Efficacy and In Vivo Activity in a Mouse Solid Tumor Xenograft Model
Abstract The B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) family of proteins are key regulators of intrinsic apoptosis. The antiapoptotic protein myeloid cell leukemia 1 (Mcl-1), which is associated with high tumor grade, poor survival, and resistance to treatment, has emerged as a promising candidate for treating hematological and solid cancers. Herein, we report the structure-guided design of small molecule macrocyclic Mcl-1 inhibitors based on the (R)-methyl-dihydropyrazinoindolone scaffold our group has previously disclosed. The macrocyclic inhibitors bind Mcl-1 with subnanomolar affinity and offer improved potency in cell culture growth inhibition assays. Inhibitor 13 achieved tumor regression in a lung cancer-derived tumor xenograft model in mice as a monotherapy. The improved potency of the macrocyclic series allowed replacement of heretofore conserved indole carboxylic acid moiety, resulting in neutral inhibitors. Amide inhibitor 25 displayed a >10-fold increase in oral bioavailability as compared to acid-containing macrocyclic or acyclic inhibitors.

Efficacy of Stabilizing Calcium Battery Electrolytes through Salt-Directed Coordination Change
Achieving practical, high-energy-density calcium batteries requires controlling the stability of Ca 2+ electrolytes during calcium metal cycling. Because of the highly reactive nature of calcium, most typical electrolyte constituents are unstable, leading to electrode passivation and low Coulombic efficiency. Among various commercially available salts, calcium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (Ca(TFSI) 2 ) is attractive because of its oxidative stability and high solubility in a variety of solvents. However, this salt does not allow for calcium metal plating, and it has been proposed that TFSI – instability induced by Ca 2+ coordination is to blame. In this work, we test the ability of strongly coordinating Ca 2+ cosalts such as halides and borohydrides to displace TFSI – from the first coordination shell of Ca 2+ and thereby stabilize TFSI-based electrolytes to enable calcium plating. Through spectroscopic analysis, we find that the effectiveness of these cosalts at displacing the TFSI – anion is dependent on the solvent’s coordination strength toward Ca 2+ . Surprisingly, electrochemical calcium deposition behavior is not correlated to the population of bound or free TFSI – . Instead, the nature of the coordination interaction between Ca 2+ and the cosalt anion is more important for determining stability. Our findings indicate that TFSI – anions are inherently unstable during calcium deposition even in the nominally free state. Furthermore, strategies aimed at eliminating the interactions of these anions with the electrode surface via interface/interphase design are required.

Effect of Storage Conditions on Efficacy of Poly(ethylenimine)-Alumina CO 2 Sorbents
Solid amine sorbents are one of the primary components of DAC technologies that allow for the removal of ultradilute CO 2 from the atmosphere. A main drawback in the implementation of solid amine sorbents in industrial-scale DAC applications is their instability under certain operational or storage conditions over an extended period. In this work, the effect of storage temperature and gas composition in the storage headspace on the long-term stability of a poly(ethylenimine)-alumina (PEI/γ-Al 2 O 3 ) sorbent is explored. PEI/γ-Al 2 O 3 sorbents with 70 and 100% pore filling are aged under varying gases (N 2 , O 2 , Ar, 0.04% CO 2 −N 2 , CO 2 , and ambient air) in an oven (40 °C), at common ambient indoor temperature conditions (23 °C), or in a freezer (−4 °C). The CO 2 sorption capacity, as measured by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), along with FTIR spectra of the fresh and aged sorbents, reveal that at 23 and −4 °C, storage under ambient air or inert gas (Ar) provides reasonable long-term stability, with <13% degradation over 12 and 5 months of storage. Interestingly, with storage at 40 °C, similar levels of deactivation were observed under pure O 2 and N 2 after 4 months of storage, which suggests that nonoxidative thermal reactions can occur under prolonged storage conditions under N 2 . In contrast, with storage under CO 2 , sorbent degradation is substantially suppressed compared to storage under N 2 , ambient air, O 2 , or Ar, yielding sorbents with no observable loss in capacity after 2 months, compared to a 66, 63, and 62% loss under N 2 , ambient air, and N 2 in the same period at 40 °C, respectively. Overall, these findings provide guidance for practical amine sorbent storage in academic or industrial settings where amine sorbents are used for carbon capture.
Can Multiple Ions in an Ionic Liquid Improve the Biomass Pretreatment Efficacy?
we report over the last few decades, efforts to transition the global production of fuels and chemicals toward renewable carbon feedstocks have accelerated. A large portion of these efforts have focused on valorization of one of the most abundant renewable carbon sources, lignocellulose. Pretreatment of lignocellulose is the first critical step in this process. In this study, novel ionic liquid (IL) systems consisting of multiple ions known to be effective at biomass pretreatment were tested on woody and grassy biomass. Molecular simulations and experimental results established the synergistic advantages of combining specific individual components in these systems. For pine (woody) biomass, pretreatment with the combination of imidazolium, cholinium, acetate, and lysinate ions achieved 80% glucose and 70% xylose yields at high biomass loading. For sorghum biomass, an IL system comprising cholinium, lysinate, and palmitate ions not only enabled a 98% glucose yield but was also found to be biocompatible in a one-pot configuration, producing the biofuel precursor bisabolene using an engineered strain of the yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides.
