表面活性剂胶束对MA-AA复合振荡反应的影响

化学振荡反应是一类典型的非线性现象[1-5],研究各种因素对化学振荡反应的动力学控制问题在生物和化学应用中有重要的意义[6,7].生物体系中化学振荡反应实际上是产生于溶胶中(包括高分子溶液和表面活性剂溶液)[8],因此,要模拟生物体系的化学振荡就不能不考虑溶胶对振荡反应的影响.

Investigation of a catalyst ink dispersion using both ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering and cryogenic TEM

The dispersion of Nafion ionomer particles and Pt/C catalyst aggregates in liquid media was studied using both ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering (USAXS) and cryogenic TEM. A systematic approach was taken to study first the dispersion of each component (i.e., ionomer particles and Pt/C aggregates), then the combination of the components, and last the catalyst ink. Multiple-level curve fitting was used to extract the particle size, size distribution, and geometry of the Pt/C aggregates and the Nafion particles in liquid media from the scattering data. The results suggest that the particle size, size distribution, and geometry are not uniform throughout the systems but rather vary significantly. It was found that the interaction of each component (i.e., the Nafion ionomer particles and the Pt/C aggregates) occurs in the dispersion. Cryogenic TEM was used to observe the size and geometry of the particles in liquid directly and to validate the scattering results. The TEM results showed excellent agreement.     

Self‐Assembly of Discrete Homochiral,Helical, Hydrogen‐Bonded Nanocages: From Vesicles to Microspheres and Tubules Capable of Gelating Solvents

The chiral tris‐monodentate imidazolinyl ligands 1 a – c exhibit a strong tendency to form the discrete, helical [2+3] nanocages 3 ([ 1 ₂ ?2 ₃]) with tartaric acids 2 . Circular dichroism (CD) spectra and theoretical calculations reveal that supramolecular handedness of capsulelike architectures is determined only by the chirality of the imidazolinyl ligands rather than tartaric acids. The chirality of imidazolinyl ligands is transferred to the helicity of the complexes through the directed hydrogen bonds between the N3 atom of imidazoline rings and the carboxyl of tartaric acids. These hydrogen‐bonded nanocages can spontaneously self‐assemble into spherical vesicles, during which the hydrogen bonding that arises from the hydroxyl groups of tartaric acids plays a crucial issue. The vesicles formed by [{(S,S,S)‐ 1 a }₂( 2 ^L)₃] ( 3 a ) may further evolve into microspheres that gelate organic solvents after being aged at ?20 °C for 24 h, and can also be unprecedentedly transformed to tubular assemblies capable of rigidifying the solvents when subjected to ultrasound irradiation.     

Discrimination of Ephedra plants with diffuse reflectance FT-NIRS and multivariate analysis

The secondary metabolites of different Ephedra plants are various. Therefore, the discrimination of different Ephedra plants is significant. An objective, easy-to-use, rapid and pollution-free approach is proposed for discriminating Ephedra plants of different species, habitats and picking times on the basis of diffuse reflectance Fourier transform near infrared spectroscopy (FT-NIRS) measurements and multivariate analysis. The Fourier transform near infrared diffuse reflectance spectra (NIRDRS) were acquired from 37 pulverized samples of Ephedra plants put in glass vials in the near infrared (NIR) region between 10 000 and 4000 cm⁻¹, averaging 64 scans per spectrum at a resolution of 4 cm⁻¹. After spectra processing and data pre-processing, spectral data were analyzed respectively with three multivariate analysis techniques: discriminant analysis (DA), self-organizing map (SOM) and back-propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN). The proposed method could distinguish not only the Ephedra plants of three species and two habitats but also the plants picked at different times of day without special sample treatment and the use of chemical reagents. The performance indexes of the DA model were 84.2-91.9% and the prediction accuracies of both the SOM and the BP-ANN models reached 93.3-100.0%.     

Three New Caged Prenylxanthones from Garcinia bracteata

Three new caged prenylxanthones (xanthone=9H‐xanthen‐9‐one), named neobractatin ( 1 ), 3‐O‐methylneobractatin ( 2 ), and 3‐O‐methylbractatin ( 3 ), along with eight known compounds, were isolated from the twig of Garcinia bracteata. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated on the basis of 1D‐ and 2D‐NMR experiments, including HMBC, HSQC, ¹H,¹H‐COSY, and ROESY, as well as HR‐MS analysis.     

Drug–Membrane Interaction on Immobilized Liposome Chromatography Compared to Immobilized Artificial Membrane (IAM), Liposome/Water,and Octan‐1‐ol/Water Systems

The objective of this study was to investigate drug–membrane interaction by immobilized liposome chromatography (ILC; expressed as lipophilicity index log K_s) and the comparison with lipophilicity indices obtained by liposome/H₂O, octan‐1‐ol/H₂O, and immobilized artificial membrane (IAM) systems. A set of structurally diverse monofunctional compounds and drugs (nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs and β‐blockers) were selected in this study. This set of solutes consists of basic or acidic functionalities which are positively or negatively charged at physiological pH 7.4. No correlation was found between log K_s from ILC and lipophilicity indices from any of the other membrane model systems for the whole set of compounds. For structurally related compounds, significant correlations could be established between log K_s from ILC and lipophilicity indices from IAM chromatography and octan‐1‐ol/H₂O. However, ILC and liposome/H₂O systems only yield parallel partitioning information for structurally related large molecules. For hydrophilic compounds, the balance between electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions dominating drug partitioning is different in these two systems.

Electrochemical detection of DNA damage induced by in situ generated bisphenol A radicals through electro-oxidation

A glassy carbon electrode was modified with dsDNA and a nanocomposite composed of multi-walled carbon nanotubes and chitosan (MWNT-chit). The electrode was applied to the electrochemical detection of DNA damage as induced by in situ generated bisphenol A (BPA) radicals through electro-oxidation. The modified electrode was characterized by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results indicate that MWNT-chit nanocomposite represents a viable platform for the immobilization of DNA that effectively promotes electron transfer between DNA and the electrode. The mode of interaction between DNA and BPA was investigated by differential pulse voltammetry and UV-vis spectrophotometry, indicating that the dominant interaction is intercalation. In order to explore the mechanism of damage caused by BPA radicals, the electro-oxidation of BPA at the modified glass electrode was investigated. Based on the signal for guanine without any other external indicator, DNA damage was investigated through the electro-oxidation of BPA.
