Synthesis, stereochemistry confirmation and biological activity evaluation of a constituent from Isodon excisus

A synthesis and stereochemistry confirmation of a constituent recently isolated from the whole plant Isodon excisus is reported. An enantioselective catalytic boron-mediated reduction of an α-bromoketone was utilized in the key synthetic transformation. The methodology described herein was also used for the synthesis of the natural product's enantiomer and several derivatives. In addition, the compounds were evaluated for inhibitory activity in a caspase induction assay. The natural product was found to be devoid of activity, but several derivatives had moderate inhibitory activity (EC₅₀<1 μM).     

Novel dual inhibitors against FP-2 and PfDHFR as potential antimalarial agents: Design,synthesis and biological evaluation

A series of novel 2,4-diaminopyrimidine-modified compounds was designed and synthesized. Compound 14 showed micromolar dual inhibitory effect on both FP-2 and PfDHFR, and potential inhibition to the proliferation of P. falciparum 3D7 strain and chloroquine-resistant P. falciparum Dd2 strain.     

Synthesis of furan 4′-thio-C-nucleosides, their methylsulfonium and sulfoxide derivatives. Evaluation as glycosidase inhibitors

A series of furan C-nucleosides having a sulfur atom in the sugar ring were synthesised. The α and β anomers of 3-ethoxycarbonyl-2-methyl-5-(4′-thio-d-erythrofuranosyl)furans 10 and 11 were obtained by acid treatment of (4′-S-acetyl-4′-thio-d-arabino-tetritol-1-yl)furan 9. Oxidation of 10 with m-chloroperbenzoic acid gave sulfoxide 12 as one epimer at the sulfur atom whereas 11 was transformed into sulfoxide 13 as an epimeric mixture. S-Methylation of 10 and 11 with methyl triflate led to sulfonium salts 14 and 15. The prepared compounds were found to be moderate inhibitors of α-l-fucosidase.     

Evaluation of new selective molecularly imprinted polymers prepared by precipitation polymerisation for the extraction of phenylurea herbicides

Three different molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have been prepared by precipitation polymerisation using linuron (LIN) or isoproturon (IPN) (phenylurea herbicides) as templates and methacrylic acid (MAA) or trifluormethacrylic acid (TFMAA) as functional monomers. The ability of the different polymers to selectively rebind not only the template but also other phenylurea herbicides has been evaluated. In parallel, the influence of the different templates and functional monomers used during polymers synthesis on the performance of the obtained MIPs was also studied through different rebinding experiments. The experimental binding isotherms were fitted to the Langmuir-Freundlich isotherm allowing to describe the kind of binding sites present in the imprinted polymers under study. It was concluded that TFMAA-based polymer using IPN as template presents the best properties to be used as a selective sorbent for the extraction of phenylurea herbicides.     

Analysis of phosphorus herbicides by ion-pairing reversed-phase liquid chromatography coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry with octapole reaction cell

A reversed phase ion-pairing high performance liquid chromatographic (RPIP-HPLC) method is developed for the separation of two phosphorus herbicides, Glufosinate and Glyphosate as well as Aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), the major metabolite of Glyphosate. Tetrabutylammonium hydroxide is used as the ion-pairing reagent in conjunction with an ammonium acetate/acetic acid buffering system at pH 4.7. An inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) is coupled to the chromatographic system to detect the herbicides at m/z = 31P. Historically, phosphorus has been recognized as one of the elements difficult to analyze in argon plasma. This is due to its relatively high ionization potential (10.5 eV) as well as the inherent presence of the polyatomic interferences 14N16O1H+ and 15N16O+ overlapping its only isotope at m/z = 31. An octapole reaction cell is utilized to minimize the isobaric polyatomic interferences and to obtain the highest signal-to-background ratio. Detection limits were found to be in the low ppt range (25-32 ng/l). The developed method is successfully applied to the analysis of water samples collected from the Ohio River and spiked with a standard compounds at a level of 20 microg/l.

Construction of recombinant Bacillus subtilis for production of polyhydroxyalkanoates

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are polyesters of hydroxyalkanoates synthesized by numerous bacteria as intracellular carbon and energy storage compounds and accumulated as granules in the cytoplasm of cells. In this work, we constructed two recombinant plasmids, pBE2C1, and pBE2C1AB, containing one or two PHA synthse, genes, respectively. The two plasmids were inserted into Bacillus subtilis DB104 to generate modified strains, B. subtilis/pBE2C1 and B. subtilis/pBE2C1AB. The two recombinants strains were subjected to fermentation and showed PHA accumulation, the first reported example of mcl-PHA production in B. subtilis. Gas Chromatography analysis identified the compound produced by B. subtilis/pBE2C1 to be a hydroxydecanoate-co-hydroxydodecanoate (HD-co-HDD) polymer whereas that produced by B. subtilis/pBE2C1AB was a hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyde-canoate-co-hydroxydodecanoate (HB-HD-HDD) polymer.     

Analysis of Seven Herbicides by Gas-Liquid Chromatography

Simutaneous analysis of seven commonly used herbicides, 2,4-D methyl ester, 2,4-D methyl ester, 2,4,5-T methyl ester, silvex methyl ester, ramrod, CIPC and DEF, by gas-liquid chromatography with an electron capture detector was attempted. Two packed columns (which are generally used for the analysis of chlorinated pesticides) and two chemically bonded fused silica capillary columns were used for the analysis. When the packed columns were used, ramrod always interfered with the analysis of 2,4-D methyl ester and/or silvex methyl ester. Complete separation with reasonable analysis time can be achieved using one of the chemically bonded fused silica capillary columns.     

MMI作为铜的盐酸酸洗缓蚀剂作用机理的研究

用失重法研究了N-甲基-2-巯基咪唑（MMI）在5％盐酸中对铜的酸洗缓蚀性能.探讨了温度和MMI浓度对缓蚀效果的影响，从中得出了MMI在铜表面的吸附等温式，计算了吸附热及MMI的加入对铜在盐酸中腐蚀反应活化能的影响，进而探讨了MMI对铜缓蚀作用的机理.结果表明， 30 ℃下，在5％盐酸中，当MMI的浓度在3 mmol•L－1和8 mmol•L－1之间时,缓蚀率随MMI浓度的增加而迅速增加，当浓度达到8 mmol•L－1时，缓蚀率趋于定值，而当浓度小于3 mmol•L－1时， MMI的加入会加速铜的腐蚀；吸附在铜表面的MMI分子间的作用力整体表现为引力； MMI在铜表面的吸附是吸热反应； MMI的加入降低了铜的腐蚀反应活化能.
