In vitro investigation of cartilage regeneration properties of polymeric ceramic hybrid composite

There would be a major effect on the cartilage regeneration characteristics of ceramic material in a substrate implant requiring biologically active biomaterials and the reinforcement phase. At this moment, we produced collagen-hyaluronic acid @ hydroxyapatite-halloysite nanotube-single walled carbon nanotube composites, which is a successful technique for making a scaffold with a superior counter for cartilage property. FTIR, XRD, and SEM-EDAX were used to perform morphological and structural studies. The prepared composite's surface feature was investigated and discovered by HRTEM-SAED analysis, and it observed porous nature. The simulated body fluids (SBF) assessment of the materials was noticed their bioactivity and chondrocytes to determine their biocompatibility. Hybrid composite displayed promise for cartilage tissue engineering despite mesenchymal stem cells compatibility effect and magnificently demonstrated an antibacterial effect without antibiotics. The live/dead cells analysis shows that the composite can significantly improve mesenchymal stem cells, and the composite has the potential ability for cartilage regeneration. The above characteristics make the material quite interesting and important in the area for regenerative medicinal uses.     

An organoantimony nitrate complex with azastibocine framework as water tolerant Lewis acid catalyst for the synthesis of 1,2-disubstitued benzimidazoles

A novel organoantimony complex of 6-cyclohexyl-6,7-dihydrodibenzo[c,f] [1,5]azastibocin-12(5H)-yl nitrate ( 2 ) was synthesized and systematically characterized by techniques such as NMR spectra, TG-DSC, and X-ray diffraction. It was found that the complex 2 exhibits relatively strong Lewis acidity (3.3 < Ho ≤ 4.8) and could be employed as a water tolerant Lewis acid catalyst for the synthesis of synthetically valuable benzimidazole derivatives starting from aldehydes and arylenediamines. This catalytic system shows excellent tolerance toward a wide variety of functional groups, such as methyl, methoxyl, fluoro, chloro, bromo, nitro, cyan, trifluoromethyl, 1-naphthaldehyde, furfural and n-butyl, together with facile reusability in 5 times scale enlarged synthesis.

GPR40 受体苯丙酸类激动剂三维定量构效关系研究

苯丙酸类化合物是G蛋白偶联受体40(GPR40)潜在的生物活性药物。本文基于比较分子力场分析法(Co MFA)和比较分子相似性指数分析法(CoMSIA),分别建立了40个已知活性的GPR40受体苯丙酸类激动剂的三维定量构效关系(3D-QSAR)模型,研究该类激动剂与生物活性之间的关系。CoMFA和CoMSIA模型的交叉验证系数(q~2)分别为0. 527和0. 500,拟合验证系数(r~2)分别为0. 901和0. 860,两个3D-QSAR模型预测值与实验值基本一致,表明模型具有良好的可信度和预测能力。根据两个3D-QSAR模型提供的立体场、静电场、疏水场、氢键供体场和氢键受体场所提供的信息提出优化该类抑制剂结构的药物设计思路,为指导设计更高活性的GPR40激动剂以及GRR40新分子激动活性的预测提供理论依据。     

利用太赫兹光谱和密度泛函理论研究烟酰胺-庚二酸共晶体的多晶型

烟酰胺, 又称为维生素PP，是辅酶Ⅰ和辅酶Ⅱ的组成部分，是许多脱氢酶的辅酶。庚二酸是一种广泛使用的共晶体前体。烟酰胺与庚二酸形成的药物共晶体具有两种不同的多晶型, 分别为晶型Ⅰ和晶型Ⅱ。不同的药物晶型常常具有不同的物理化学性质，这些差异可能会对药物的溶出速率、稳定性以及药效具有较大影响，因此在药物领域中寻找合适的技术手段鉴别药物的不同晶型非常重要。利用太赫兹时域光谱在室温下对烟酰胺-庚二酸的两种共晶体在0.2～2.2 THz范围内进行检测，发现两者的特征吸收峰具有明显的差异，晶型Ⅰ在1.51，1.73，1.94，2.01和2.17 THz有五个特征吸收峰，其中在1.94，2.01和2.17 THz处是三个吸收强度较大的峰，而晶型Ⅱ在1.66，1.74，1.88，2.02和2.16 THz有五个特征吸收峰，与晶型Ⅰ不同的是在2.02和2.16 THz处有两个强度较大的吸收峰。利用密度泛函理论对烟酰胺-庚二酸两种共晶体进行理论计算，计算结果表明实验峰与理论峰基本对应，对吸收峰指认归属表明特征吸收峰来源于分子骨架的振动与包含氢键的振动。研究结果表明太赫兹时域光谱技术对于区分药物共晶体的多晶型现象具有重要的应用。     

Internal plasticization of poly(vinyl) chloride using glutamic acid as a branched linker to incorporate four plasticizers per anchor point

Internal plasticization of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) using thermal azide‐alkyne Huisgen dipolar cycloaddition between azidized PVC and electron‐poor acetylenediamides incorporating a branched glutamic acid linker resulted in incorporation of four plasticizing moieties per attachment point on the polymer chain. A systematic study incorporating either alkyl or polyethylene glycol esters provided materials with varying degrees of plasticization, with depressed T_g values ranging from ?1 °C to 62 °C. Three interesting trends were observed. First, T_g values of PVC bearing various internal plasticizers were shown to decrease with increasing chain length of the plasticizing ester. Second, branched internal plasticizers bearing triethylene glycol chains had lower T_g values compared to those with similar length long‐chain alkyl groups. Finally, thermogravimetric analysis of these internally plasticized PVC samples revealed that these branched internal plasticizers bearing alkyl chains are more thermally stable than similarity branched plasticizers bearing triethylene glycol units. These internal tetra‐plasticizers were synthesized and attached to PVC‐azide in three simple synthetic steps. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym.

以羧酸作为酰化剂的酰化反应及其在有机合成中的应用

传统的傅-克酰基化反应以酰氯或酸酐作为酰化剂、路易斯酸作为催化剂。大量路易斯酸催化剂及反应产生的氯化氢都需要后处理,并且酰氯对湿度敏感,储存及使用过程中易发生危险。而以三氟乙酸酐作为活化剂、直接以羧酸作为酰化剂的酰化反应不需要事先将羧酸制成酰氯、酸酐或酰胺,且活化剂三氟乙酸酐及副产物三氟乙酸都能很容易地通过蒸馏回收,因此,这类酰化反应能有效解决传统的傅-克酰基化反应所存在的问题。本文综述了近20年来以三氟乙酸酐作为活化剂、直接以羧酸作为酰化剂的酰化反应方法的发展,以及其在功能有机分子、药物分子和天然产物合成中的应用。     

Determination of three Tumor Biomarkers (Homovanillic Acid,Vanillylmandelic Acid,and 5‐Hydroxyindole‐3‐Acetic Acid) Using Flow Injection Analysis with Amperometric Detection

Flow injection analysis with amperometric detection (FIA‐AD) at screen‐printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) in optimum medium of Britton‐Robinson buffer (0.04 mol ? L^?1, pH 2.0) was used for the determination of three tumor biomarkers (homovanillic acid (HVA), vanillylmandelic acid (VMA), and 5‐hydroxyindole‐3‐acetic acid (5‐HIAA)). Dependences of the peak current on the concentration of biomarkers were linear in the whole tested concentration range from 0.05 to 100 μmol ? L^?1, with limits of detection (LODs) of 0.065 μmol ? L^?1 for HVA, 0.053 μmol ? L^?1 for VMA, and 0.033 μmol ? L^?1 for 5‐HIAA (calculated from peak heights), and 0.024 μmol ? L^?1 for HVA, 0.020 μmol ? L^?1 for VMA, and 0.012 μmol ? L^?1 for 5‐HIAA (calculated from peak areas), respectively.     

Phosphorylation of pyridoxal azomethines. Synthesis of phosphorus containing azomethines and furopyridines

New O-phosphorylated pyridoxal derivatives have been synthesized through the reaction of azomethines with Р^V acid chlorides. 2-Chloro-2-thioxo-5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinanes and diethylchlorothiophosphate have been employed as phosphorylating agents. Regardless of the nature of the phosphorylating agent, the reaction is regioselective at phenolic hydroxyl group. The structure of final products is determined by the nature of the substituent at the nitrogen atom. If R is alkyl or cycloalkyl group, the products of the reaction represent phosphorylated pyridoxal imines, whereas phosphorylated furopyridines are formed in the case R is aryl substituent.
