Fully Synthetic Self‐Adjuvanting Thioether‐Conjugated Glycopeptide?Lipopeptide Antitumor Vaccines for the Induction of Complement‐Dependent Cytotoxicity against Tumor Cells

Glycopeptides of tumor‐associated mucin MUC1 are promising target structures for the development of antitumor vaccines. Because these endogenous structures were weakly immunogenic, they were coupled to immune‐response‐stimulating T‐cell epitopes and the Pam₃Cys lipopeptide to induce strong immune responses in mice. A new thioether‐ligation method for the synthesis of two‐ and three‐component vaccines that contain MUC1 glycopeptides as the B‐cell epitopes, a T‐cell epitope peptide, and the Pam₃CSK₄ lipopeptide is described. The resulting fully synthetic vaccines were used for the vaccination of mice, either in a liposome with Freund′s adjuvant or in aqueous PBS buffer. The three‐component vaccines that contained the Tetanus Toxoid P2 T‐cell epitope peptide induced strong immune responses, even when administered just in PBS. By activation of the complement‐dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) complex, the antisera induced the killing of tumor cells.     

“One pot” homogeneous synthesis of thermoplastic cellulose acetate-graft-poly(l-lactide) copolymers from unmodified cellulose

Using native cellulose as the starting material, cellulose acetate-graft-ploy (l-lactide) (CA-g-PLA) copolymers were successfully synthesized by “one-pot” process in an ionic liquid 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (AmimCl). In this process, cellulose was first reacted with acetic anhydride, yielding cellulose acetate (CA), and then ring opening graft copolymerization of l-lactide was carried out from the residual hydroxyl groups of CA in the same solution using 4-dimethylaminopridine (DMAP) as the catalyst. Both acetyl and ploy (l-lactide) contents in CA-g-PLA copolymers could be well controlled by changing reaction conditions. The structures and thermal properties of CA-g-PLA copolymers were characterized. The glass transition temperature T_g of copolymers decreased with increasing PLA content. Compared to the pure PLA and cellulose-graft-PLA copolymers, the CA-g-PLA copolymers possessed better thermo mechanical properties in a temperature range of 60–130 °C. When the molar substitution of PLA (MS_PLA) was above 1.71, the CA-g-PLA copolymers exhibited thermoplastic behavior and could be processed by conventional thermal processing methods, such as injection molding and melt spinning.     

Synthesis,Structure, and Properties of O6‐Corona[3]arene[3]tetrazines

O₆‐Corona[3]arene[3]tetraazines, a new class of macrocyclic compounds, were synthesized efficiently in a one‐pot reaction from the nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction between 1,4‐dihydroxybenzene derivatives and 3,6‐dichlorotetrazine in warm acetonitrile. In the crystalline structure, the resulting macrocycles adopt highly symmetric structures of a regular hexagonal cavity with all bridging oxygen atoms and tetrazine rings located on the same plane with phenylene units orthogonally orientated. The constitutional aromatic rings are able to rotate around the macrocyclic annulus, depending on the steric effect of the substituents and temperature, in solution. The electron‐deficient nature revealed by cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, and characteristic absorbances at a visible region show the O₆‐corona[3]arene[3]tetrazines to be suitable macrocyclic receptors for electron‐rich guests.     

Multi‐walled carbon nanotube modified dummy‐template magnetic molecularly imprinted microspheres as solid‐phase extraction material for the determination of polychlorinated biphenyls in fish

Novel multi‐walled carbon nanotube modified dummy‐template molecularly imprinted microspheres (MWCNTs@DMMIPs) were successfully synthesized as adsorbents for six kinds of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). MWCNTs@DMMIPs were prepared by a surface molecular imprinting technique. Core–shell Fe₃O₄@SiO₂ nanoparticles were employed as magnetic support. 3,4‐Dichlorobenzene acetic acid was used as a dummy template instead of PCBs, methacrylic acid was used as functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate was used as the cross‐linker. The resulting absorbent was characterized by various methods. The adsorbent was employed for extracting PCBs and exhibited good selectivity and high adsorption efficiency. Furthermore, it was reusable and capable of magnetic separation. Adsorption kinetics fit well with a pseudo‐second‐order kinetic equation and also exhibited a three‐stage intra‐particle diffusion model. The Freundlich model was used to describe the adsorption isotherms. The materials were successfully applied to the magnetic dispersive solid‐phase extraction of six kinds of PCBs followed by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry determination in fish samples, the limit of detection of six kinds of PCBs were 0.0028–0.0068 μg/L and spiked recoveries ranged between 73.41 and 114.21%. The prepared adsorbent was expected to be a new material for the removal and recovery of PCBs from contaminated foods.     

Fitting formula for the injection volume of a gas chromatograph for radio‐xenon sampling in the lower troposphere

GC is usually used for xenon concentration and radon removal in the International Monitoring System of the Comprehensive Nuclear‐Test‐Ban Treaty. In a gas chromatograph, the injection volume is defined to calculate the column capacity. In this paper, the injection volume was investigated and a fitting formula for the injection volume was derived and discussed subsequently. As a consequence, the xenon injection volume exponentially decreased with the column temperature increased, but exponentially increased as the flow rate increased.
