Chemical constituents isolated from stems of Schisandra chinensis and their antifeedant activity against Tribolium castaneum

Abstract

One new sesquiterpene (α-iso-cubebenol acetate, 8), together with 9 known compounds (1-7, 9, 10) were isolated from the stems of Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill. by repeated silica gel column chromatography. Based on the results of MS, NMR spectra and comparing with literature data, the six dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans were identified as schizandrin A to C (1-3), schizandrin (4), schisantherin A (5) and gomisin J (6), the two sesquiterpenes were identified as α-iso-cubebenol (7) and α-iso-cubebenol acetate (8), while the two triterpenic acids were identified as ganwuweizic acid (9) and kadsuric acid (10). The antifeedant activity of the 10 compounds against Tribolium castaneum adults was tested. Gomisin J (6) exhibited activity at 1500?ppm concentration with 40.3% antifeeding index percentages. As for the dibenzocyclooctene lignans (compounds 1–3, 6), the number of methylenedioxies and the position of hydroxyl groups were the main factors to affect their antifeedant activities.     

Host-Guest Chemistry of Truncated Tetrahedral Imine Cages with Ammonium Ions

Three shape-persistent [4+4] imine cages with truncated tetrahedral geometry with different window sizes were studied as hosts for the encapsulation of tetra-n-alkylammonium salts of various bulkiness. In various solvents the cages behave differently. For instance, in dichloromethane the cage with smallest window size takes up NEt₄⁺ but not NMe₄ ^{+ ,} which is in contrast to the two cages with larger windows hosting both ions. To find out the reason for this, kinetic experiments were carried out to determine the velocity of uptake but also to deduce the activation barriers for these processes. To support the experimental results, calculations for the guest uptakes have been performed by molecular mechanics’ simulations. Finally, the complexation of pharmaceutical interested compounds, such as acetylcholine, muscarine or denatonium have been determined by NMR experiments.

Electrophoretic deposition of hydroxyapatite–CaSiO3–chitosan composite coatings

Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method has been developed for the fabrication of hydroxyapatite (HA)–CaSiO₃ (CS)–chitosan composite coatings for biomedical applications. The use of chitosan enabled the co-deposition of HA and CS particles and offered the advantage of room temperature processing of composite materials. The coating composition was varied by the variation of HA and CS concentrations in the chitosan solutions. Cathodic deposits were obtained as HA–CS–chitosan monolayers, HA–chitosan/chitosan multilayers or functionally graded materials (FGM) containing HA–chitosan and CS–chitosan layers of different composition. The thickness of the individual layers was varied in the range of 0.1–20 μm. The deposition yield was studied at different experimental conditions and compared with the results of modeling. It was shown that the moving boundary model for the two component system can explain the non-linear increase in the deposition yield with increasing HA concentration in chitosan solutions. The obtained coatings were studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) studies showed that these coatings provided corrosion protection of stainless steel substrates in Ringer's physiological solution. The deposition mechanism and kinetics of deposition have been discussed.

Heavy-traffic limits for many-server queues with service interruptions

We establish many-server heavy-traffic limits for G/M/n+M queueing models, allowing customer abandonment (the +M), subject to exogenous regenerative service interruptions. With unscaled service interruption times, we obtain a FWLLN for the queue-length process, where the limit is an ordinary differential equation in a two-state random environment. With asymptotically negligible service interruptions, we obtain a FCLT for the queue-length process, where the limit is characterized as the pathwise unique solution to a stochastic integral equation with jumps. When the arrivals are renewal and the interruption cycle time is exponential, the limit is a Markov process, being a jump-diffusion process in the QED regime and an O–U process driven by a Levy process in the ED regime (and for infinite-server queues). A stochastic-decomposition property of the steady-state distribution of the limit process in the ED regime (and for infinite-server queues) is obtained.
