Baker''''s Yeast Mediated Reduction of Optically Active Diketone

Baker's yeast (BY) mediated reduction of synthetic substrate is a useful method for preparing chiral intermediate in synthesis chemistry1,2, because it is readily available and inexpensive. The selectivity is generally predicted by Prelog rule3, that is, a hydride is transferred to the re face of the prochiral ketone.The baker's yeast mediated reduction of bicyclic diketones was previously reported by several groups4-6, but to our knowledge, no application of this reduction to sesquiter-pene-…     

A Novel Synthesis of Some Hexasubstituted Cyclotriphosphazenes

In recent years, many efforts were focused on the preparation and characterization of phosphazene which contained a framework of alternating phosphorous and nitrogen atoms with two substituent groups attached to each phosphorous atom1. It is noticeable that cyclophosphazene, especially hexaaryloxyphosphazene and perfluoroaryloxyphosphazene exhibit excellent thermal and chemical stability which can be used as fireproof materials, high temperature lubricants, vacuum pump oils and hard disk surfac…     

The Synthesis of N-Morphine Hapten and Production of Monoclonal Antibody

The drug overdose and addiction is a serious international problem. Therefore developing a rapid, accurate, convenient and cheap method for detecting morphine in urea is useful and necessary, especially for investigation of epidemiology, identification of medical jurisprudence and determination of drug addict etc. There are many compounds that are similar to morphine in chemical structure and tend to have cross-reaction with the anti-morphine antibody. In order to reduce the cross reaction a…     

Preparing Nano-ZnS by Solid State Reaction at Room Temperature

Solid-state reaction has been studied for a long time1-3. In recent years, some researches have been focused on the preparation of coordination compounds at low temperatures or even at room temperature4-5. In this letter, preparation of ZnS nanoparticles by using solid state reaction at room temperature is reported.ZnS nanoparticles were prepared as follows: Zn(CH3COO)2 and Na2S?9H2O, in equal molar ratio, were ground in agate mortar. After 20 minutes, the powder was washed by water and …     

Concise Synthesis of(±)-epi-Chrysotricine

Chrysotricine 1 was isolated from the Chinese herb medicine Hedyotis Chrysotricha and was shown to possess antitumor activity1. Its structure has been elucidated as a novel zwitterionic (-carboline alkaloid containing a 2,2,5-trisubstituted tetrahydrofuranyl group. The (-carboline compounds have attracted considerable attraction in recent years because of their promising and intriguing biological activities2. Recently, we have established the absolute configuration of chrysotricine by the fir…     

New diterpenoid glucosides from Siegesbeckia pubescens

Plants of the genus Siegesbeckia are annual herbs widely distributed in tropical and temperate zones and they are used as a traditional medicine to treat rheumatic arthritis, hypertension, malaria, neurasthenia and snake-bite in China. In previous papers, we reported on five new ent-kaurane and ent-pimarane diterpenoids, siegesbeckioside, siegesbeckiol and siegesbeckic acid1, orientalin A and B, and eight know compounds2,3. The present paper describes the isolation and structural elucidation …

New Soluble Fluorinated Polyimides

Aromatic polyimides have been widely used in aerospace, electrical and electronic applications due to their outstanding thermal stability, mechanical strength at elevated temperature and electrical properties1-3. However, polyimide materials are usually difficulty to fabricate owing to their insolubility in most organic solvents and infusibility. Besides solubility, low moisture uptake of polyimide is also a major concern for microelectronics and optical applications. The present article descr…

光谱技术分析尿素对BSA糖基化反应的影响

以牛血清白蛋白（BSA）和葡萄糖为原料,采用光谱技术从分子水平上研究不同浓度尿素（0～7 mol·L-1）对BSA糖基化反应的影响。结果表明：BSA经过尿素处理后,其糖基化产物的自由氨基含量和内源荧光强度均显著下降;同步荧光光谱表明BSA与尿素的结合点更接近于色氨酸（Trp）残基;紫外光谱分析表明经尿素处理后BSA的糖基化产物的紫外吸收值均有不同程度的增加;三维荧光光谱表明随着尿素浓度的增加,BSA的最大发射波长产生先红移再蓝移的变化趋势,说明其结构展开,促进了BSA的糖基化反应。结果表明,尿素处理会使BSA的空间结构发生不同程度的伸展,且当尿素浓度为3 mol·L-1时BSA的糖基化反应程度最大。
