A new series of hyperbranched aromatic polyesters containing azoxybenzene mesogens and polymethylene spacers were prepared by polymerizing AB2 type monomers that have the isophthaloyl dicarboxylic acid terminal at one end and the p-oxyp henol terminal at the other end. The monomers contain a built-in azoxybenzene mesogen that is linked to the terminal groups through polymethylene spacers. The polyesters prepared were characterized by solution viscosity, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffractometry and polarizing microscopy. All of the polyesters were found to be thermotropic (nematic). Their glass-transition temperatures and mesophase temperature ranges were very sensitive to the length of the two spacers existing in the repeating unit. The degree of branching of one of the polyesters was determined by the NMR spectroscopy and found to be 0.56.

Akt (or Protein Kinase B; PKB) is a serine/threonine kinase and is activated by phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway. Recent evidence indicates that the abnormal activities or expression of Akt is closely associated with cancer, diabetes and neuro-degenerative diseases. These findings mean that Akt is likely to be a new therapeutic target for the treatment of disease. Here, we screened the effects of dithiolo-dithione derivatives such as SWU-20004, SWU-20009 and SWU-20025 on Akt activities. Among these compounds, only SWU-20009 (2-Thioxo-[1,3]dithiolo[4,5- $\beta$][1,4]dithiine-5,6-dicarboxylic acid dimethyl ester) inhibited the growth of KATOIII cell at micromolar range of concentration. Further investigation also revealed that SWU-20009 inhibited cellular Akt activity and induced apoptotic cell death.

Some novel heterocyclic derivatives of 1,1-bis(2-phenyl-5-arylidine-1,3-thiadiazolidin-4-one)cyclopropane 4(a-i) have been synthesized from cyclopropane dicarboxylic acid and substituted thiadiazole moieties. All the synthesized compounds have been characterized by elemental and spectral (I.R., $^1H$-NMR, Mass) analysis. Furthermore, above said compounds were screened for their antifungal and antibacterial activities. Compound 4c was found the most potent one which further evaluated for lesser toxicity test.

A series of chiral prolinamide compounds with pyridine-2, 6-dicarboxylic acid moieties derived from L-proline have been designed and synthesized, their catalytic properties for direct asymmetric aldol reactions were also studied in this article. These catalysts gave the aldol product in high yield (87%) and high enantioselectivity, up to 85%, of the anti-structure at room temperature but gave disappointing results at a lower temperature or when additive was added. Conditions, including solvents, temperature and additives were screened for the reactions. Moreover, the influence of presence of water on yield and stereoselectivity was also discussed.

The dynamics of gas release at thermal oxidation of extraction systems on the basis of diamides of dicarbonic acids in fluorinated sulphones with 14 mol/L $HNO_3$ was investigated. The effect of preirradiation of the mixtures with accelerated electrons on the kinetics of their thermolysis was determined. The mixtures were heated in an autoclave at temperatures of 170 and $200^{\circ}C$ and irradiated using an electron accelerator to absorbed doses of 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 MGy. It has been shown that no conditions for autocatalytic oxidation at thermolysis of extraction mixtures irradiated up to a dose of 1 MGy were developed.

High potential and fast electron transfer of a cathode mediator are significant factors for improving the performance of biofuel cells. This paper reports the first synthesis of a cathode redox polymer that is a coordination complex of poly (acrylic acid-vinylpyridine-acryl amide) (PAA-PVP-PAA) and [Os(4,4'-dicarboxylic acid-2,2'-bipyridine)$_2Cl_2]^{/+}$ ($E^{\circ}=0.48V$ versus Ag/AgCl). Bilirubin oxidase can be easily incorporated into this polymer matrix, which carried out the four-electron oxygen under typical physiological conditions (pH 7.2, 0.14 M NaCl, and $37^{\circ}C$). This new polymer showed an approximately 0.1 V higher redox potential than existing cathode mediators such as PAA-PVI-$[Os(dCl-bpy)_2Cl]^{+/2+}$. In addition, we suggest increasing the polymer solubility with two hydrophilic groups present in the polymer skeleton to further improve fast electron transfer within the active sites of the enzyme. The maximum power density achieved was 60% higher than that of PAA-PVI-$[Os(dCl-bpy)_2Cl]^{+/2+}$. Furthermore, high current density and electrode stability were confirmed for this osmium polymer, which makes it a promising candidate for high-efficiency biofuel cells.

A comb-like copolymer consisting of a poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-chlorotrifluoro-ethylene) backbone and poly(hydroxy ethyl acrylate) side chains, i.e. P(VDF-co-CTFE)-g-PHEA, was synthesized through atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using CTFE units as a macroinitiator. Successful synthesis and a microphase-separated structure of the copolymer were confirmed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), FT-IR spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This comb-like polymer was crosslinked with 4,5-imidazole dicarboxylic acid (IDA) via the esterification of the -OH groups of PHEA and the -COOH groups of IDA. Upon doping with phosphoric acid ($H_3PO_4$) to form imidazole-$H_3PO_4$ complexes, the proton conductivity of the membranes continuously increased with increasing $H_3PO_4$ content. A maximum proton conductivity of 0.015 S/cm was achieved at $120^{\circ}C$ under anhydrous conditions. In addition, these P(VDF-co-CTFE)-g-PHEA/IDA/$H_3PO_4$ membranes exhibited good mechanical properties (765 MPa of Young's modulus), and high thermal stability up to $250^{\circ}C$, as determined by a universal testing machine (UTM) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), respectively.

Aromatic liquid crystalline polyesters were synthesized from terephthalic acid(TPA), biphenyl dicarboxylic acid(BPA) and hydroquinone(HQ) by solution polymerization. Effects of TPA/BPA ratio(by mole %) on the thermal properties, thermal stability and textures of mesophases were investigated with DSC, TGA, cross-polarized microscopy and X-ray diffractometer. The synthesized polymers in this study were thermotropic and showed nematic textures. Melting temperature($T_m$) and isotropization temperature($T_i$) of polymer increased and thermal stabilities of polymer were improved with the content of BPA. Most of the polymers in this study had crystallinity more than 30%.

Three-dimensional terbium coordination polymers with the formulas of [Tb4(NDC)6(H2O)5]${\cdot}$2H2O (1) and [Tb2(BPDC)3(H2O)3]${\cdot}$H2O (2) (NDC = 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate; BPDC = 2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-dicarboxy-late) were prepared by hydrothermal reactions. Both compounds were structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 has a polymeric structure that contains four distinct Tb metals. Three Tb metals have a square-antiprismatic structure, and the remaining one has a 9-coordinate, triply capped trigonal-prismatic structure. Compound 2 is also a polymer with two distinct Tb metals, both of which have a square-antiprismatic structure. The pyridine nitrogen atoms of the BPDC 2- ligand do not coordinate to the metal centers in compound 2.
