Quassinoids from seeds of Brucea Javanica and their anticomplement activities

Abstract

An investigation on seeds of Brucea javanica led to the acquisition of a new quassinoid, 20-hydroxyyadanzigan (1), along with five known quassinoids (2–6). The structure of the new compound was elucidated on the basis of extensive spectral analysis. All of the compounds were assayed for their anticomplement activities through classical and alternative pathways. Compounds 1–6 exhibited potent anticomplement activity with CH₅₀ and AP₅₀ values of 0.032–0.075?mg/mL and 0.061–0.118?mg/mL, respectively. Moreover, the structure-activity relationships of these compounds are discussed.

     

Titania membrane preparation with chemical stability for very hash environments applications

The high-quality tubular titania MF membranes are successfully prepared by dip-coating techniques and systematically investigated with regard to their corrosive resistances. The experiments show that dispersants PAA and anatase powder were preferably employed to prepare desired suspensions with solid loading 10–15 wt.% and that suspensions properties significantly affect the final membranes quality. The titania MF membranes with pure water permeability 742.42 l m⁻² h⁻¹ bar⁻¹ and 0.1 μm pore diameter have been obtained using the prepared suspensions. The corrosion resistance of titania membranes exhibits that the anatase layers are more stable than the alumina supports in boiling corrosive medium and that the poor quality titania MF membranes become more deteriorated due to its top layer pore blockages and fouling layer formation, which provides a wide range of practical application fields in very hash environments with reliable data supports.

Polarized Raman Spectra VI. A Short Note on the Raman Spectra of p-Polyphenyls

The Raman spectra of the p-polyphenyls: benzene, biphenyl, p-terphenyl, and p-quaterphenyl, are compared with their electronic spectra. The relative intensity of the double bond stretching mode around 1600 Kaisers to that of the breathing mode around 1000K increases steadily when the phenyl chain is lengthened. This intensity ratio can be calculated using our theory proposed previously.¹ The results are in very good agreement with the experimental observations     

Polarized Raman Spectra VII Correlations and Assignments of Raman Lines in p-Polyphenyls

The Raman spectra of powdered biphenyl, p-terphenyl, and p-quaterphenyl are compared with each other and also with the Raman spectrum of benzene. Most Raman lines in polyphenyls can be considered as derived from normal vibrations in benzene. The intense lines are thus assigned and the correlations between them are established.

Liquefaction of corn stover and preparation of polyester from the liquefied polyol

This research investigated a novel process to prepare polyester from corn stover through liquefaction and crosslinking processes. First, corn stover was liquefied in organic solvents (90 wt% ethylene glycol and 10 wt% ethylene carbonate) with catalysts at moderate temperature under atmospheric pressure. The effect of liquefaction temperature, biomass content, and type of catalyst, such H₂SO₄, HCl, H₃PO₄, and ZnCl₂, was evaluated. Higher liquefaction yield was achieved in 2 wt% sulfuric acid, 1/4 (w/w) stover to liquefying reagent ratio; 160°C temperature, in 2h. The liquefied corn stover was rich in polyols, which can be directly used as feedstock for making polymers without further separation or purification. Second, polyester was made from the liquefied corn stover by crosslinking with multifunctional carboxylic acids and/or cyclic acid anhydrides. The tensile strength of polyester is about 5 MPa and the elongation is around 35%. The polyester is stable in cold water and organic solvents and readily biodegradable as indicated by 82% weight loss when buried in damp soil for 10 mo. The results indicate that this novel polyester could be used for the biodegradable garden mulch film production.     

Hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking in 6‐hydroxy­biochanin A monohydrate

In the lattice of the title compound (systematic name: 5,6,7‐trihydroxy‐4′‐meth­oxy­isoflavone monohydrate), C₁₆H₁₂O₆·H₂O, the isoflavone mol­ecules are linked into chains through R₄³(17) motifs composed via O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Centrosymmetric R₄²(14) motifs assemble the chains into sheets. Hydrogen‐bonding and aromatic π–π stacking inter­actions lead to the formation of a three‐dimensional network structure.     

A mechanistic and synthetic study of organocopper substitution reactions with some homoallylic and cyclopropylcarbinyl substrates : Application to isoprenoid synthesis

The double bond of cholesteryl and 5-norbornen-2-yl tosylates and the cyclopropane ring of cyclopropylmethylcarbinyl tosylate participate in organocuprate substitution reactions; retention of configuration at the nucleofugal sp³-C atom and skeletal reorganizations are observed. A plausible mechanism for these reactions is discussed. Coupling of homogeranyl iodide with a four-carbon, functionalized, vinylic cuprate reagent is applied to stereospecific synthesis of trans, trans-farnesol.
