Influence of terminal substituents on the halide anion binding of foldamer-based receptors

Foldamers 1–4 incorporating different terminal substituents have been designed and synthesized for binding halide anions.~1H NMR titration experiments carried out in DMSO-d_6/CDCl_3(15/85, v/v)demonstrated that the short oligo (aryltriazole)s backbone 1 could not bind halide anions unless that amide H-bond donors were incorporated at the termini of the oligomer. Terminal substituents on oligo(aryltriazoleamide)s foldamers 2–4 display a considerable influence on the binding affinities of the foldamers for halide anions. Large steric hindrance of the terminal substituents was found to be unfavorable for binding halide anions, but aromatic π-π interactions between two terminal substituents are capable of stabilizing the conformation of foldamers thus giving rise to an enhancement in the binding strengths. However, the terminal substituents were found to hardly affect the binding selectivity in the studied cases.     

Two near-infrared highly sensitive cyanine fluorescent probes for pH monitoring

Two near-infrared(NIR) p H-activated heptamethine indocyanine probes with quaternary ammonium unit were designed and synthesized. The absorption and emission titrations indicate that cationic structure improves the cyanine dye's aqueous solubility and these two probes exhibit highly sensitive response to p H in acid condition. Their fluorescence intensities both gradually increase about 25-fold from p H 7.60 to 3.00 with p Ka values of 4.72 and 4.45 respectively, which are suitable for studying acidic organelles in living cells. Moreover, their fluorescence intensities are linearly proportional to p H values in the range of 5.50–4.00. These results are probably attributed to the protonation of the indole nitrogen atoms, which are verified by 1H NMR spectra. Furthermore, these two probes can achieve real-time imaging of cellular p H and detection of p H in situ in living He La cells due to their excellent properties,including good reversibility, desirable photostability, high selectivity, low cytotoxicity and remarkable membrane permeability.     

Cytotoxic cassane diterpenoids from the seeds of Caesalpinia sappan

Phytochemical investigation on the seeds of Caesalpinia sappan led to the isolation of five new cassanetype diterpenoids, named 11-oxo-phanginin A(1), caesalsappanins O–Q(2–4) and phanginin U(5),together with five known compounds. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by extensive analysis of mass spectrometric and 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data. All the new compounds showed moderate cytotoxic effects on human breast cancer MCF-7 and human colon cancer HCT116 cell lines.     

A novel aptasensor based on 3D-inorganic hybrid composite as immobilized substrate for sensitive detection of platelet-derived growth factor

A novel electrochemical detection approach for platelet-derived growth factor(PDGF) via "sandwich"structure is reported in this paper. 3D-4MgCO_3 Mg(OH)_2 4H_2O-Au NPs inorganic hybrid composite was utilized as immobilized substrate for sensitive PDGF detection and Pt-Au bimetallic nanoparticles were labelled on PDGF aptamer to indirectly detect PDGF for the first time. The proposed aptasensor exhibited a high catalytic efficiency towards reduction of H_2O_2, hence the sensitive detection of PDGF was achieved.Results showed that the aptasensor exhibited excellent linear response to PDGF, in the range of 0.1 pg/m L–10 ng/m L(4 fmol/L–400 pmol/L), with detection limit of 0.03 pg/m L(1.2 fmol/L).     

Chlorophyll sensitized BiVO4 as photoanode for solar water splitting and CO2 conversion

Converting solar energy into valuable hydrogen and hydrocarbon fuels through photoelectrocatalytic water splitting and CO_2 reduction is highly promising in addressing the growing demand for renewable and clean energy resources. However, the solar-to-fuel conversion efficiency is still very low due to limited light absorption and rapid bulk recombination of charge carriers. In this work, we present chlorophyll(Chl) and its derivative sodium copper chlorophyllin(ChlCuNa), as dye sensitizers, modified BiVO_4 to improve the photoelectrochemical(PEC) performance. The photocurrent of BiVO_4 is surprisingly decreased after a direct sensitization of Chl while the sensitization of ChlCuNa obviously enhances photocurrent of BiV04 electrodes by improved surface hydrophilicity and extended light absorption.ChlCuNa-sensitized BiV04 achieves an improved H_2 evolution rate of 5.43 μmol h~(-1) cm~(-2) in water splitting and an enhanced HCOOH production rate of 2.15 μmol h~(-1) cm~(-2) in CO_2 PEC reduction, which are1.9 times and 2.4 times higher than pristine BiVO_4, respectively. It is suggested that the derivative ChlCuNa is a more effective sensitizer for solar-to-fuel energy conversion and CO_2 utilization than Chl.
