Substituent Effects on the Low-Frequency Vibrational Modes of Benzoic Acid and Related Compounds

Well-resolved absorption spectra of benzoic acid and its derivatives with one hydrogen atom replaced by a substituent group CH3, OH, NH2 or NO2 were reported in the frequency region between 6 and 67 cm^-1 at room temperature with terahertz time-domain spectroscopy （THz-TDS）. These substances can be distinguished easily based on the terahertz absorption spectra. The measurements suggested that even minor changes in the molecular configuration and chemical composition lead to distinct differences in THz spectrum. Density functional theory （DFT） method was used to assist the analysis and assignment of the individual THz absorption spectra of benzoic acid and its methyl derivatives. Observed THz responses of samples can be assigned to the collective vibrations associated with intermolecular hydrogen bonds.     

Bioactivity-based UPLC/Q-TOF/MS strategy for screening of anti-inflammatory components from Cimicifugae Rhizoma

In this study,the protective effects of Cimicifugae Rhizoma(CR) was demonstrated in Pseudomonas aeruginosa-induced pneumonia mouse model.To identify the anti-inflammatory ingredients,an ultraperformance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC/Q-TOF-MS)integrated nuclear factor κB(NF-κB) luciferase reporter assay screening system was carried out.As a result,some caffeic acid derivatives,including caffeic acid,ferulic acid/isoferulic acid,fukinolic acid,and cimicifugic acid ingredients were identified as the potential effective compounds from CR.For testing the anti-inflammatory capacity,caffeic acid was demonstrated to inhibit NF-kB and reduce the levels of IL-6 and IL-8 in TNF-α-treated BEAS-2B cells in a dose-dependent manner.Hence,CR preparations and its cinnamic acid derivatives have the possibility to be developed as a complementary therapy in the treatment of respiratory system infection in clinics.

Design and Synthesis of p/m-[p-（un）Substituted Phenylsulfonamido]phenyl β-Diketo Acids and Quinoxalone Derivatives

Diketo acid derivatives are potent and selective HIV-1 integrase inhibitors. To investigate the detailed synthesis of those derivatives, a series of p/m-[p-（un）substituted phenylsulfonamido]phenyl β-diketo acid derivatives have been designed and synthesized. The quinoxalone derivatives as the potential bioisosteres of the biologically labile β-diketoacid pharmacophores have also been synthesized from reactions of the corresponding diketo acids with o-phenylenediamine. The structures of all diketo acid （ester） and quinoxalone derivatives were confirmed by 1^H NMR, 13^C NMR, IR, HRMS and/or MS （ESI）. X-ray crystallographic analysis of 11b demonstrates a similar arrangement of the side chain of quinoxalone derivatives with the parent diketoacids due to the intramolecular hydrogen bond （O…H-N） and the sp^2 hybridization configuration of the two nitrogen atoms of the quinoxalone ring.

Theoretical Study on Electronic,Optical, and Charge Transfer Properties of Starburst Triphenylamine as Sensibilizer @TiO_2 Cluster for Dye-sensitized Solar Cells

Here, a series of starburst triphenylamine(WD8) derivatives for dye-sensitized solar cells(DSSCs) applications have been designed. The frontier molecular orbitals(FMOs) property, absorption spectra, and charge transfer rate property of WD8 and its derivatives were simulated. We also evaluated the FMOs energies and absorption spectra of WD8 and its derivatives with the TiO2 cluster. The simulation results show that the phenothiazine-triphenylamine and 2-cyanoacetic acid groups in the ortho-position will increase the HOMO energy, decrease the LUMO energy, and narrow the HOMO-LUMO gap of WD8. The charge injection from WD8 and its derivatives to TiO2 should be more favorable. The phenothiazine-triphenylamine and 2-cyanoacetic acid groups in the ortho-position will decrease the electron and hole injection barriers of WD8. The phenothiazinetriphenylamine and 2-cyanoacetic acid groups in the ortho-position will improve the absorption spectra properties of WD8. The absorption spectra of WD8 and its derivatives with the TiO2 cluster would have a red shift. The phenothiazine-triphenylamine and 2-cyanoacetic acid groups in the ortho-position will increase the charge transfer property of WD8.

Facile enantioseparation and recognition of mandelic acid and its derivatives in self‐assembly interaction with chiral ionic liquids

Mandelic acid and its derivatives are important medical intermediates in the pharmaceutical industry. Different stereoisomers exhibited distinct biological properties to human bodies. Given that, enantioselective recognition and separation of mandelic acid are of great importance. In this study, four novel different types of chiral ionic liquids bearing designed functional groups were synthesized and successful enantioselective precipitation with mandelic acid and its derivatives. That is, (R, R)‐chiral ionic liquid 1 can coprecipitated with S‐mandelic acid and its derivatives was observed. In addition, good correlation coefficient is achieved by using electrospray mass spectrum at negative ion pattern for quick analysis of the enantioselective precipitation, which could be served as a method of enantioselective recognition. The possible intermolecular interactions are established after systematical studies by NMR spectroscopy and DFT calculations.
