The Action of the Selenomorpholine Compounds on Escherichia coli Growth by Microcalorimetry

The action of three kinds of the selenomorpholine compounds on a strain ofEscherichia coli was studied by microcalorimetry. Differences in their capacities to affect the metabolism of this bacterium were observed. The extent and duration of the effect on the metabolism as judged from the rate constant (k) of Escherichia coli (in log phase) varied with the different drugs. The kinetics show that selenomorpholine compounds had an effect on the metabolism process of Escherichia coli. The k of Escherichia coli in the presence of the drugs increased with the increasing concentrations of the drugs (C) at low concentration; but at high concentration, the rate constant decreased with the increasing concentrations of the drugs. The experimental results reveal that the sequence of antibiotic activity of selenomorpholines is: N-selenomorpholinemethyl succinimide and its hydrochloride>N-(α-selenomorpholinebenzyl) succinimide.

Regioselective synthesis and properties of novel [60]fullerene bisadducts containing a dibenzocrown ether moiety

The reactions of [60]fullerene with bis-o-quinodimethane precursors 3, 4, and 5 containing a dibenzo-18-crown-6, 24-crown-8 and 30-crown-10 moiety, respectively, were investigated. Both 3 and 4 provided trans-4 bisadducts 6a and 7a, respectively, as major product, though the selectivity in the latter was lower than that in the former. As minor product, 6b (cis-2) was produced from 3, while 7c (e) as well as 7b (cis-2) were produced from 4. Precursor 5 exclusively afforded e bisadduct 8 without any other regioisomers. These bisadducts showed different ionophoric properties from one another; for instance, 6a and 7b exhibited a high complexing ability toward the K+ ion, while 6b hardly showed complexation with any alkali metal ions. The selectivity coefficients (K(Na,K)(pot)) of 6a and 7b toward K+ over Na+ ion, determined with an ion-selective electrode, were much higher than that of dibenzo-18-crown-6.

The thermal reaction of HNCO at moderate temperatures

The thermal reaction of HNCO has been studied in a static cell at temperatures between 873 and 1220 K and a constant pressure of 800 torr under highly diluted conditions. The reaction was measurable above 1000 K by FTIR spectrometry. The products detected include CO, CO₂, HCN, NH₃, and the unreacted HNCO. In this moderate temperature regime, the rates of product formation and HNCO decay cannot be accounted for by a previously established high-temperature mechanism, assuming HNCO → NH + CO (1) as the initiation process. Instead, a new bimolecular reaction, 2HNCO → CO₂ + HNCNH (2), has been invoked to interpret the disappearance of HNCO as well as the formation of various products, most importantly CO₂. The concentration profiles of all measured species can be quantitatively modeled, throughout the temperature range analyzed, by varying k₂ using a modified mechanism. The kinetically modeled values of k₂ can be effectively represented by This result agrees closely with that computed with the conventional transition-state theory using the TST parameters predicted by the BAC-MP4 method: The bimolecular reaction takes place via a stable 4-membered ring intermediate which is isoelectronic with diketene; viz.      

Facile Ionic Liquids-Promoted One-Pot Synthesis of Polyhydroquinoline Derivatives under Solvent Free Conditions

In recent years, much attention has been directed towards the syntheses of 1,4-dihydropyridyl compounds due to the fact that 1,4-dihydropyridyl compounds possess a variety of biological activities.[1] In view of the importance of polyhydroquinoline derivatives, many classical methods for the synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives were reported[2] by conventional heating and refluxing approaches in the presence of organic solvent. These methods, however, involve long reaction time, harsh reaction conditions, the use of a large quantity of organic solvent and unsatisfactory yields. Therefore,improvements in such syntheses have been sought continuously.

A new β-carboline alkaloid, 4-（9H-β-carbolin-1-yl）-4-oxobutyric acid and a new derivate of isoferulic acid, （E）-3-（3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl）acrylic acid carboxymethyl ester, were isolated from the roots of Anemone altaica. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectral data.     

晶态氮化碳薄膜的低温合成

The synthesis of carbon nitride films at low temperature has been investigated using pulsed arc discharge from methanol solution with nitrogen atmosphere. Raman spectra and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis suggest that crystalline carbon nitride films may be prepared at low substrate temperature (220 ℃). At same time, the substrate temperature has a significantly effect on the nitrogen content and structure of the films. Increasing substrate temperature (300 ℃) would decrease the content of nitrogen in the films and result in a formation of carbon films.     

Chromatographic Features and Molecular Recognition Mechanism of a Strychnine Monolithic Molecularly Imprinted Polymer

A monolithic molecularly imprinted polymer (mMIP) with specific recognition ability for strychnine was prepared by in-situ polymerization, using methacrylic acid (MAA) as a functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as a cross-linking agent, toluene and dodecanol as porogenic solvents and 2, 2’-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as a initiator. Scanning electron microscopy and mercury intrusion porosimetry were used to identify the structural features of the mMIP. The results show that there were three kinds of pore structures. The large through-pore structure allows mobile phase to flow through a column of mMIP with a low back pressure and the other pores lead to the molecular recognition. Some chromatographic conditions such as the pH and the composition of the mobile phase were characterized. Strychnine was separated from compounds such as indole, quinine and brucine. The possible recognition mechanisms were ionic and hydrogen bonding interactions between the strychnine molecule and the mMIP.
