Solvatochromic studies on quinoline (Q), 3-cyanoquinoline (CNQ), 3-bromoquinoline (BrQ) and 8-hydroxyquinoline (OHQ) in pure solvents and alcohol-cyclohexane mixtures have been performed. The results are compared with Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, 1H NMR. studies and AMI calculations. Taft and Kamlet's solvatochromic comparison method was used to disclose solvent effects in pure solvents. These studies shows that the hydrogen bond acceptor ability of the Q ring is diminished and its polarity is increased by the presence of the cyano group in CNQ and the bromo group in BrQ. In OHQ, intramolecular hydrogen bonding has been observed. This interaction is weakened by the interaction with protic solvents. The studies in binary mixtures, alcohol-cyclohexane, show solute-solvent interactions, which compete with solvent self-association in the preferential solvation phenomena. Alcohols with strong ability to self-associate have less preference toward solvation of these compounds. The association constants for solute-ethanol systems were determined by 1H NMR. The results show that the solvent hydrogen bond donor ability is the main factor involved in the interaction with these solutes at the aza aromatic site. 相似文献

Daidzein, one of major isoflavones found in soybeans, has a wide spectrum of physiological and pharmacological functions. The observed biological effects involve its interactions with lipid bilayers, usually detected by indirect methods. In this study we use the native fluorescence of daidzein to report changes observed during its interactions with organic solvents and in a phosphatidylcholine membrane.We have investigated interactions of daidzein with lipid bilayers of egg phosphatidylcholine (PC) by absorption and fluorescence methods. The data obtained indicate emission arises from the conjugate anion in excited singlet state. The fluorescence is found to increase with the basicity of the solution and the polarity of the solvent. An increase in fluorescence anisotropy in the presence of membranes suggests partial incorporation of daidzein molecules into the bilayer. Two fluorescence lifetime components, 1.5 ns and 3.5 ns, reflects the partition of daidzein between aqueous and membrane environments, respectively. On the basis of the obtained spectroscopic data we conclude that up to 15% of daidzein is located in hydrophilic region of the membrane whereas the rest is distributed in aqueous bulk and aqueous/membrane interface.For studying the antioxidant activity of daidzein against lipid peroxidation initiated by AAPH the molecule of C11-BODIPY581/591 has been used as a fluorescent oxidation indicator. The results show that the presence of daidzein anions in the membrane interface increases the inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation compared to the neutral form of daidzein. 相似文献

The use of enzymes as valuable catalysts in organic solvents has been well documented. However, some of their features limit their application in organic synthesis, especially the frequently lower enzyme activity under nonaqueous conditions, which constitutes a major drawback in the application of enzymes in organic solvents. In addition, many enzymatic reactions are subject to substrate or product inhibition, leading to a decrease in the reaction rate and enantioselectivity. To overcome these drawbacks and to make enzymes more appealing to organic chemists, we demonstrate the use of cyclodextrins as regulators for the Pseudomonas cepacia lipase (PSL) and macrocyclic additives to enhance the reaction rate and enantioselectivity E in lipase-catalyzed enantioselective transesterification of 1-(2-furyl)ethanol in organic solvents. Both reaction rate and enantioselectivity were significantly enhanced by several orders of magnitude when using co-lyophilized lipase in the presence of cyclodextrins. The effect of cyclodextrin derivatives as well as solvents on the improvement of the reaction parameters has been studied. The observed enhancement was tentatively interpreted in terms of their ability to give a certain flexibility to the enzyme and to form a host-guest complex, thus avoiding product inhibition and leading to enhancement of the reaction rate and enantioselectivity. The effect of cyclodextrin additives on the enzyme morphology has been studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) of the co-lyophilized lipase with cyclodextrins. The ability of cyclodextrins to form a host-guest complex to avoid product inhibition, which leads to the observed enhancement, has been proved by NOESY, COSY, 13C and 1H NMR. 相似文献

Charge transfer (CT) complex formation between 4-dimethylaminopyridine (4-DMAP) as the electron donor and 2,5-dihydroxy-p-benzoquinone (DHBQ) as the π-electron acceptor has been investigated spectrophotometrically in methanol (MeOH), ethanol (EtOH) and acetonitrile (AN). The stoichiometry of the complex has been identified by Job’s and photometric titration methods to be 1:1. The Benesi–Hildebrand equation has been applied to estimate the formation constant (KCT) and molecular extinction coefficient (ε). It was found that the value of KCT is larger in AN than in MeOH and EtOH. The thermodynamic parameters are in agreement with the KCT values in that the enthalpy of formation (?ΔH) has a larger value both in EtOH and MeOH than in AN, suggesting higher stability of the complex in EtOH. The complex formed between 4-DMAP and DHBQ has been isolated as a solid and characterised using elemental analysis, FTIR and 1H NMR measurements. Moreover, it has been found that the formed complex involves proton transfer in addition to CT. 相似文献

The Lowry method and a capillary electrophoresis method were used to analyse protein residues in the supernatant after solvent deproteination of plasma. Acetonitrile and acetone were much more effective than methanol and ethanol at reducing the levels of proteins in plasma. The ability of different solvents to decrease levels of phospholipids in plasma samples was assessed using electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (MS). Phospholipid signals can obscure differences between samples in general metabolite profiling (i.e. non-target compound) studies. Acetonitrile was much more effective than methanol in reducing the MS signal due to phospholipids in plasma which is a consequence of the poor solubility of phospholipids in acetonitrile. The capability of the solvents at reducing salts in urine samples was also studied by using an amperometric method. Using this approach little difference was detected between methanol, ethanol, acetonitrile and acetone in their ability to desalt urine samples. 相似文献

Direct encapsulation of esterase or lipase fused with the silica-precipitating R5 peptide from Cylindrotheca fusiformis in silica particles afforded high yields of active entrapped protein. The hydrolytic activity of both enzymes against p-nitrophenyl butyrate was similarly affected by encapsulation and the enantioselectivity of the esterase was both improved and inverted. 相似文献

We have studied memory-switching phenomena in terms of impedance spectroscopy in a series of xanthene-class fluorescein molecules. Frequency response studies have revealed that the electronic conduction mechanism was largely tuned by increasing the number of acceptor groups attached to the molecular backbone. In molecules with weak intermolecular interactions, the transition between a low- and a high-conducting state has been associated with a change in bulk resistance and dielectric properties. The devices in the two states remained a parallel combination of a resistor and a capacitor (C(P)-R(P)) network. In devices based on Rose Bengal, which exhibits a strong dipole-dipole interaction due to its acceptor groups, the switching between the states has been modeled as a transition between a C(P)-R(P) network in the off-state and a distributed resistor-capacitor (R-C) line network in the on-state. Instead of isolated clusters, a highly coupled network of reduced Rose Bengal molecules with strong dipole-dipole interaction yielded the high-conducting state. Under a "write-read-erase-read" sequence, the device switched between the two networks reversibly for many cycles. 相似文献

The aqueous phase behavior of phytantriol (PT) in mixtures of monoolein (MO), distearoylphosphatidylglycerol (DSPG), propylene glycol (PG), polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400) and 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol (MPD) was investigated by visual inspection, polarized light microscopy and small angle X-ray diffraction at room temperature. The phase diagrams of PT and MO in water are qualitatively very similar and PT/MO mixtures in excess water form one cubic phase of space group Pn3m irrespective of mixing ratio. The addition of the charged membrane lipid DSPG to the PT system gives rise to a considerable water swelling of the cubic phases as well as the occurrence of a cubic phase of space group Im3m. Whereas all three solvents studied give rise to a sponge (L3) phase in the MO-water system, this phase was only found when MPD was added to the PT-water system. The results are discussed with respect to the chemical differences between PT and MO. 相似文献

In an effort to search for effective biocatalysts for asymmetric ketone reduction, the substrate specificity and enantioselectivity of an alcohol dehydrogenase from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus have been evaluated. This hyperthermophilic alcohol dehydrogenase catalyzes the reduction of various ketones including aryl ketones, α- and β-ketoesters. Interestingly, aryl ketones, phenyl-substituted α- and β-ketoesters were reduced to the corresponding chiral alcohols in an enantiomerically pure form, while the substrates lacking phenyl groups were reduced with a moderate enantioselectivity. It thus suggests that a phenyl group next to the carbonyl group could be very helpful for achieving an excellent enantioselectivity, and this could provide valuable guidance for the future application of this useful enzyme through rational substrate engineering. The reaction temperature increased the enzyme activity, but exerted no effect on the enantioselectivity. This alcohol dehydrogenase also showed a high tolerance of organic solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide, iso-propanol, methyl tert-butyl ether, and hexane, a particularly important and useful feature for the reduction of ketones with a low solubility in aqueous buffers. 相似文献

Some new substituted polyhydroxy azo–azomethine compounds were prepared by reaction of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane with (E)-2-hydroxy-5-(phenyldiazenyl) benzaldehyde and its substituted derivatives. The structures of azo and azo–azomethine compounds were determined by IR, UV–vis, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopic techniques, and/or X-ray diffraction studies. According to IR spectra, all azo–azomethine compounds adopt keto form in solid state. UV–vis analysis has shown the presence of keto–enol tautomerism in solution for all azo–azomethine compounds, except that for nitro substituted derivative, enol form is dominantly favored in solution. At the same time, above mentioned derivative compounds were studied in vitro for their antimicrobial properties. Among the phenylazosalicylaldehyde series compound tested, 4-phenylazosalicylaldehyde, 4-(3-chlorophenylazo)salicylaldehyde, 4-(2-chlorophenylazo)salicylaldehyde, 4-(4-fluorophenylazo)salicylaldehyde, 4-(3-chlorophenylazo)salicylaldehyde and 4-(4-ethylphenylazo)salicylaldehyde showed a weak antimicrobial activity only against gram positive bacteria. On the contrary, phenylazosalicylaldehyde series compounds were reacted tris(hydroxmethyl)aminomethane, that exhibited a strong antimicrobial activity against gram positive bacteria, yeast and mould. Moreover, while the 2-{[1,3-dihydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)propan-2-ylimino]methyl}phenol did not show an inhibition on tested microorganism, the addition of phenyldiazine groups to 2-{[1,3-dihydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)propan-2-ylimino]methyl}phenol resulted in a strong increases in antimicrobial activity. 相似文献

Equilibrium mole fraction solubility of Zocor® (simvastatin) a pharmaceutically important compound, was measured between 279 and 315 K, in fifteen different industrial-relevant organic solvents including: methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, iso-propyl acetate, butyl acetate, iso-butyl acetate, sec-butyl acetate, tert-butyl acetate, and ethanol, propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, and 1-octanol. Fusion enthalpy, ΔfusH, melting point temperature, Tm, were measured to be 32,169 J/mol, 412.6 K, respectively; and the difference in the molar heat capacity (at constant pressure) of the liquid, and solid form of simvastatin, ΔCP, was approximated (by extrapolation) to be 230 J/mol K. Dissolution of simvastatin was found to be endothermic, and entropically favorable. The activity coefficient at infinite dilution of simvastatin in each solvent was calculated from the experimental data, then fitted to Gibbs–Helmholtz equation to estimate the limiting partial molar excess enthalpies, , and the limiting partial molar excess entropies, . The data was also fitted to the non-random-two-liquid (NRTL) activity coefficient equation to generate the model interaction parameters for dissolution of simvastatin in the organic solvents studied here. 相似文献

A polyalkylated triamine, 2,2′,4,4′-tetrabromo-4″-methyl-5,5′-bis(di(3,4-di-methylphenyl)amino)triphenylamine, was designed and successfully synthesized as a model precursor for purely organic cationic high-spin systems. Cyclic voltammetry measurement revealed that the triamine gives stable mono- and dicationic states and fairly unstable tricationic state. Novel electron transfer stopped-flow (ETSF) methods were invoked for characterizing the absorption spectra of the corresponding mono- and oligo-cationic states. The triplet state of the dication was confirmed by ESR spectroscopy. 相似文献

We have conducted a series of experiments to explore the surface of the polished pyrolytic graphite ‘edge’ electrode as routinely prepared for use in protein film voltammetry. Our investigations have included nitrogen porosimetry and scanning electron microscopy. The nitrogen adsorption revealed a Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area ∼104 times greater than the geometric surface area of the electrode. The pore-size distribution calculated by the Horváth–Kawazoe method showed that 10–18% of the pore volume arises from pores having widths >10 nm and, thus, should be accessible to enzymes, although much of the exposed ‘wall’ surface may be inactive for enzyme binding or electron transfer: for example, it may be mainly basal plane. Scanning electron micrographs of the abraded pyrolytic graphite edge showed differing scales of surface damage caused by the abrasion and the presence of many cracks in the surface where thin platelets had been removed.This work is dedicated to Prof. Alan Bond on the occasion of his 60th birthday. Alan’s enthusiasm for the complexities of diffusion control persuaded one of us (F.A. Armstrong) to try and avoid it altogether in protein electrochemical studies. 相似文献
