The preparation and fractionation of oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) are particularly important for the application of tannins in the biomedical field. By use of two different methods—gel filtration chromatography (GFC) with Sephadex LH-20 and progressive solvent precipitation—the OPCs were prepared and fractionated from mangosteen pericarp. The fractions were compared by reversed-phase and normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and gel permeation chromatography. GFC directly purified oligomers (monomer to pentamer) with polydispersity values close to 1 and generated fractions with a higher level of total phenols (800.59 mg gallic acid equivalents per gram) but a lower yield (7.72%). Progressive solvent precipitation rapidly prepared and fractionated OPCs with a lower level of total phenols (609.57 mg gallic acid equivalents per gram) but a higher yield (24.74%) and higher polydispersity. Additionally, we found pronounced structural and quantitative differences among different tannin-rich fractions, and fractions obtained by GFC better reflected the structural diversity and complexity of OPCs from mangosteen pericarp. This study presents different ways of preparing and fractionating OPCs in the biomedical field.
The reactions of pyrimidine‐phosphine ligand N‐[(diphenylphosphino)methyl]‐2‐pyrimidinamine ( L ) with various metal salts of PtII, PdII and CuI provide three new halide metal complexes, Pt2Cl4(μ‐L)2·2CH2Cl2 ( 1 ), Pd2Cl4(μ‐L)2 ( 2 ), and [Cu2(μ‐I)2L2]n ( 3 ). Single crystal X‐ray diffraction studies show that complexes 1 and 2 display a similar bimetallic twelve‐membered ring structure, while complex 3 consists of one‐dimensional polymeric chains, which are further connected into a 2‐D supramolecular framework through hydrogen bonds. In the binuclear complexes 1 and 2 , the ligand L serves as a bridge with the N and P as coordination atoms, but in the polymeric complex 3 , both bridging and chelating modes are adopted by the ligand. The spectroscopic properties of complexes 1 ‐ 3 as well as L have been investigated, in which complex 3 exhibits intense photoluminescence originating from intraligand charge transfer (ILCT) π→π* and metal‐to‐ligand charge‐transfer (MLCT) excited states both in acetonitrile solution and solid state, respectively. 相似文献
The intramolecular hydroamination of alkynes tethered with amino group 1 in the presence of catalytic amounts of Pd(PPh3)4 and PPh3 in benzene at 100 degrees C proceeded smoothly without the use of any additional acid source to afford five- and six-membered nitrogen heterocycles 2 in good to excellent yields. A compulsory addition of carboxylic acid as a cocatalyst was not needed, and the reaction could be carried out under essentially neutral conditions. 相似文献
The incubation of 13-hydroperoxy-9Z,11E,15Z-octadecatrienoic acid (13-HPOT) with a hydroperoxide lyase containing extract of mung bean seedlings (Phaseolus radiatus L.) led not only to the formation of 2E-hexenal, but also to the generation of several non-volatile by-products (oxylipins). These oxylipins, generated by the catalysis of other 13-HPOT metabolizing enzymes, were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) without time-comsuming derivatization procedures, which would be necessary for their volatilization and stabilization during gaschromatography (GC). Different detection systems such as an evaporative light-scattering detector (ELSD), diode-array detector (DAD), and particle beam-mass spectrometry (PB-MS) were applied. The utilization of an ELSD represented an improvement of sensitivity compared to a DAD, especially in the case of substances with low UV-activity. 相似文献
Sensitized photolysis of iminodiacetic acid methyl ester and maleimides follows a [2 + 3] cycloaddition pathway yielding pyrrolidine derivatives. This is similar to the photochemical reaction between C(60) and amines. A series of pyrrolidine derivatives are prepared by the method including multipyrrolidines from bis- and tris-maleimide starting materials. The yields range from 13% to 85%. The reaction is highly stereoselective. All the isolated products have the 1,3-dimethoxycarbonyl groups in the cis configuration. Various sensitizers may be used with slightly different yields. A plausible mechanism is proposed that involves the singlet oxygen abstraction of two alpha hydrogen atoms from the iminodiacetate and formation of a 1,3-dipole with a structure similar to the classical thermally generated 1,3-dipole. 相似文献
