Determination of Thyroxine with Capillary Electrophoretic Enzyme Immunoassay

Capillary electrophoretic immunoassay (CEIA) is a new analytical technique1,2. In CEIA, the detection methods were UV absorbance detection1 and laser induced fluorescence detection (LIF)2. However, The UV detection is lack of sensitivity. The LIF is difficult to use due to its high cost, and furthermore, most biological fluids are strongly luminescent when excited by the laser in the blue or green region of the spectrum. In our present work, a capillary electrophoretic enzyme immuno…     

Indirect Flow Injection Chemiluminescence Method for the Determination of Tetracyclines Using Cu(Ⅱ) as a Probe Ion

Tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) are active against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, being extensively used in human and veterinary medicine to treat and prevent bacterial infections1. Among the TCs, TC, OTC and CTC are commercially available and permitted for human administration. However, the degradation products occurring in storage conditions might induce potential adverse effects. Thus, many studies have focused on the development of a rapid, sensitive and reli…     

Synthesis and study of MPNS/SMA nano-composite tanning agent

The radical polymerization of maleic anhydride（MA）,styrene（ST）with the vinyl groups introduced onto the surface of the nano-sized silica via solution polymerization method was developed.The methacryloxypropyl nano-sized silica（MPNS）was used as macromonomer and polymerized with maleic anhydride and styrene by initiating with BPO in toluene.The structure and properties of MPNS/SMA nano-composite were characterized by FT-IR spectra and TEM.Meanwhile,it was applied as tanning agent compared with the traditional styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer in leather.It was found that the applied leather had better quality characteristics with the addition of the nano-sized silica.     

Synthesis of aliphatic amidediol and used as a novel mixed plasticizer for thermoplastic starch

In this paper,aliphatic amidediol was synthesized and mixed with glycerol used as a plasticizer for preparing thermoplastic starch（AGPTPS）.The yield of aliphatic amidediol was 91%.FF-IR expressed that the mixture of aliphatic amidediol and glycerol formed stronger and stable hydrogen bond with starch molecules compared to the native cornstarch.By scanning electron microscope（SEM）native cornstarch granules were proved to transfer to a homogeneous continuous system.After being stored for a period time at room temperature,the mechanical properties of AGPTPS were also studied.As a mixed plasticizer,aliphatic amidediol and glycerol would be practical to extend TPS application scopes.     

Synthesis and cytotoxic activity of novel curcumin analogues

Five novel curcumin analogues bearing different substituents at 4-position of phenyl group were synthesized. Their structures were confirmed by NMR and HRMS spectrum. Their cytotoxic activities against six tumor cell lines were tested by the standard MTT assay in vitro. The results indicated that four analogues （1A-1C, 1E） with solubilizing moieties showed selective potent cytotoxicity against HepG2, HeLa and CT26 cell lines, and analogue 1A and 1C exhibited more potent cytotoxicity than curcumin against CT26 cell line. It was suggested that introduction of appropriate substituents to 4-position of phenyl group might be a potential option for structural modification of curcumin.     

Design,synthesis and antifungal activities in vitro of novel tetralin compounds

Novel chiral tetralin compounds were designed and synthesized, and their antifungal activities in vitro were tested. The results showed that all of target compounds had potent antifungal activities, and were stronger than that of control compounds tetrahydroisoquinolines. The binding model of lead molecules in the active site of CYP51 of Candida albicans showed that lead compound specifically interacted with the amino acids residues in the active site, without binding with the heme of CYP51, which was different from azole antifungal drugs. The present study might afford a novel lead molecule to develop non-azole CYP51 inhihitars of fungi.     

The setereoselective preparation ofβ-keto esters using baker's yeast in the presence of rice wine koji

By the addition of rice wine koji,enhancement of the reactivity was observed for the baker's yeast reduction ofβ-keto esters into (S)-β-hydroxy esters with high enantiomeric purity (73-98%).     

Formylation of N-arylpyrazole containing active amino group using Vilsmeier-Haack reaction

Two species of N-arylpyrazoles containing active amino group were synthesized.And formylations of N-arylpyazoles containing amino in different position of pyrazole rings using Vilsmeier-Haack reaction gave a series of useful pyrazole intermediates.The important features of this protocol were cheap materials,easy process,mild reaction conditions and good yield of products.     

Synthesis of Cubic Mesoporous Silica MCM-48by Mixed Micellar Templates

In 1992, Mobil researchers introduced a novel concept in the synthesis of mesoporous silicas (M41S)1,2 by using a self-assembled molecular array of surfactant molecules as structure-directing template. Depending on the shape of their templates and the respective resulting pore structure, the M41S family was identified : MCM-41(hexagonal), MCM-48(cubic), and other species. MCM-41 with honeycomb arrays of nonintersecting channels was shown to be the easiest to synthesize1. MCM-48 containin…     

nitial Potential" Effect on the Dissociative Adsorption of Methanol on A Roughened Platinum Electrode in Acidic Solution

The research of electrocatalytic oxidation of small organic molecules such as methanol, formaldehyde and formic acid has been fascinating electrochemists for more than thirty years, owing to its significance in energy conversion and reaction mechanisms. The surface adsorbed species involved in these electrocatalytic reactions, especially reactive and poisoning intermediates, have been investigated by electrochemical, spectroscopic and other physicochemical methods1. However, Raman spectrosco…
