Heck reaction catalyzed by a recyclable palladium supported on shell powder

A novel palladium catalyst supported on shell powder has been prepared, and its application to the Heck reaction of aryl iodides with olefins has been reported. The results showed that the novel catalyst had extremely high activities for the reactions with the average yield over 90%. Also, this catalyst showed excellent stability in Heck reactions, being reused three times. The catalyst was characterized by X‐ray powder diffraction and field‐emission scanned electron microscopy images, and the energy dispersive X‐ray analyzer.

Overlapping and communication policies in product development

Shorter product life cycles in many industries impel firms to accelerate the product development process. Overlapping development stages, combined with frequent information exchange, is commonly regarded as a core technique for faster product development. However, overlapping and communication require additional resources and can be costly. We investigate the time-cost tradeoffs involved in concurrent product development to determine the optimal overlapping and communication strategies. The methodology was applied to a refrigerator development process in order to illustrate its utility.     

一种新型CO_2响应型肿瘤靶向药物传递载体

将透明质酸(HA)依次接枝1,12-二氨基十二烷和N,N-二甲基乙酰胺二甲缩醛(DADA),构建得到CO_2刺激响应的透明质酸-脒基(HA-ami)。为了考察其结构、CO_2刺激响应性、细胞水平作为药物载体的可行性和肿瘤靶向性,进行了结构表征、CO_2刺激响应性表征、细胞摄取、细胞毒性和体内的组织分布实验。结果表明:HA-ami成功构建,并具有一定的CO_2刺激响应性,可携带模型药物摄取进入人乳腺癌细胞(MCF-7),而且没有出现明显的细胞毒性,具有体内肿瘤靶向性。     

New oxidized sterols from Aspergillus awamori and the endo‐boat conformation adopted by the cyclohexene oxide system

Two new oxidized sterols 1 and 2 were obtained from the active fraction of a mangrove fungus Aspergillus awamori isolated from the soils around the mangrove plant Acrostichum speciosum. Their structures were elucidated using spectroscopic methods as 22E‐7α‐methoxy‐5α,6α‐epoxyergosta‐8(14),22‐dien‐3β‐ol (1) and 22E‐3β‐hydroxy‐5α,6α,8α,14α‐diepoxyergosta‐22‐en‐7‐one (2). The NMR data and complete assignments for both DMSO‐d₆ and CDCl₃ were given. Their cytotoxic activity against A549 cell line was evaluated. Furthermore, the detailed conformation analysis for ring B (cyclohexene oxide system) of sterol 1 was given on the basis of NOEs. The endo‐boat conformation was considered as the preferred conformation for ring B rather than half‐chair conformation. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The electrodynamics of rod-like microparticles based on optically induced dielectrophoresis

Due to its characteristics of noncontact, non-damage, high flux, and easy-to-achieve flexible manipulation, optically induced dielectrophoresis (ODEP) technology has been employed to manipulate microspherical biological particles, including separation, enrichment, capture, arrangement, and fusion. However, in nature, biomolecules are morphologically diverse, and some of them are rodlike. In order to illustrate the electrodynamics of rodlike particles under the action of ODEP, a transient multi-physical field coupling model of ODEP chip under the hypothesis of electrical double layer thin layer was established in this paper. The arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian method is used to track single-rod particle in the strong coupled flow field and electric field simultaneously. The influence of several key factors, including the applied alternating current (AC) electric voltage, the width of optical bright area, and the initial position of particle, on the trajectory of particle center was analyzed in positive dielectrophoresis (DEP) action and negative DEP action, respectively. Especially, the planar motion process of rodlike particles was discussed together. The research results reveal the electrodynamics behavior of rodlike particles based on the action of ODEP, which may provide theoretical support for the further design of rodlike biological cells manipulation chip based on AC ODEP technology in the future.

竞争还是协同：分子内两类磷键Sb---X(X=O、N、F)和Sb---π的关系

本文通过选取多个双官能团有机分子(甲氧基甲基苯(1)、苄基二甲胺(2)、氟甲基苯(3))和无机分子SbCl₃,利用密度泛函理论详细考察了两类分子内磷键,Sb---X(X=O、N、F)与Sb---π之间的作用关系。研究结果表明,分子内均存在两种作用,并且二者是竞争关系,不存在协同性。分子1、2、3的结合能依次为-14.0、-17.0、-9.0 kcal mol^_-1。对于1,结合以Sb---O键为主,Sb---π为辅;对于2,结合基本均来自于Sb---N作用;而对于3,结合则以Sb---π作用为主。该结果体现了相互作用随原子序数的渐变性,为通过磷键调控体系的性质提供了理论依据。

Rapid characterization of the constituents in Jigucao capsule using ultra high performance liquid chromatography with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry

Jigucao capsule is a well-known Chinese patent medicine for the treatment of acute and chronic hepatitis and cholecystitis. The chemical components of Jigucao capsule were not clear resulting from the paucity of relevant studies, which hindered the research of the pharmacological mechanism, the comprehensive development, and utilization of Jigucao capsule in clinical studies. By establishing a high-throughput ultra-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry in combination with intelligent UNIFI software data processing platform to automatically characterize and identify the chemical profile of Jigucao capsule, 144 compounds were determined rapidly, including 34 terpenoids, 25 flavonoids, 22 steroids, 21 phenylpropanoids, 10 glycosides, six alkaloids, 13 organic acids, and other 13 components. These compounds may be the active components of Jigucao capsule. In this study, a rapid and robust method for comprehensively analyzing the chemical composition of Jigucao capsule was described and established for the first time. The results will provide a reference for the quality control of Jigucao capsule and the establishment of a higher quality standard, as well as for the pharmacodynamic material basis research.
