Synthesis of a Pair of Derivatives of N-Methylpyrrole Polyamide

Indole acetic acid and nicotinic acid were introduced to the polyamide in the synthesized compound, which showed an expected red shift in the UV spectrum.

Prediction on amphiphilicity of hypocrellin derivatives

Hypocrellins are most suitable for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of the diseases occurring in the superficial layer, such as microvascular diseases, because of their special absorption spectral properties. However, hypocrellins and most of their derivatives are basically lipophilic, while the hydrophilic derivatives lose the PDT activity in vivo. Therefore, the key problem for practical application of PDT of microvascular diseases focuses on finding the derivatives which possess optimized amphiphilicity. Herein, we developed a theoretical method to estimate the amphi-philicity of a molecule by the calculated average polarity. Compared with the experimentally measured results, the method is proved to be applicable. Based on the computation and available experimental results, it can be concluded that the derivative must have the polarities around C.22 for optimized amphiphilicity.

Second-order Nonlinear Optical Properties of a Series of Benzothiazole Derivatives

The second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of a series of benzothiazole derivatives were studied by use of the ZINDO-SOS method.These chromophores are formed by a donor- π- bridge-acceptor system,based on a nitro group connected with benzothiazole as the acceptor and a hydroxyl-functional amino group as the donor.For the purpose of comparison,we also designed molecules in which nitrobenzene is an acceptor,The calculation results indicate that benzothiazole derivatives exhibit larger second-odrder polarizabilities than nitrobenzene derivatives.In order to clarify the origin of the NLO response of these chromophores,their electron properties were investigated as well.The benzothiazole derivatives are good candidates for application in electro-optical device due to their high optical nonlinearities,good thermal and photonic stability.     

Theoretical Studies on Electronic Spectra and Second-order Nonlinear Optical Properties of Glucosyl Substituted Barbituric Acid Derivatives

AMI semi-empirical method was used to optimize the barbituric acid derivatives substituted with glucosyl B1-5 （series B）, and the thiobarbituric acid derivatives substituted with glucosyl T1-5 （series T）. Based on the optimized structures, INDO/CI method was adopted to calculate the electronic spectra. Meanwhile, the second-order nonlinear optical （NLO） coefficients βμ were calculated with the sum-over-state （SOS） formula. The results show that when the number of glucosyl units was increased, ｜βμ｜ values of the barbituric and thiobarbituric acid derivatives were both enhanced, especially for thiobarbituric acid derivatives. It indicates that non-conjugated substituted group could also improve NLO properties of materials when the number of repeated units was increased. Additionally, the absorption bands appearing in UV area are consistent with the proper change of the number of glucosyl units, and consequently it can be concluded that the high transparencies of all systems were scarcely varied.

Novel NO-releasing derivatives of betulinic acid with antitumor activity

Thirteen novel NO-releasing derivatives of betulinic acid (BA) bearing two types of NO-donors (nitrates and furoxans) were synthesized and evaluated for their antitumor activity. The results showed that furoxan-based derivatives exhibited higher antitumor activity than nitrate-based derivatives, with compounds 11a and 11b displaying promising potency against B16 cell lines and HepG2 cell lines (IC50 < 1 μmol/L). Wesupposed that NO-releasing amount of these derivatives which can be detected by Griess method may contribute more to their antitumor activity. As a result, furoxan-based derivatives released larger amount of NO than that of nitrate-based derivatives, which partially explained the higher anti-tumor activity of the former.
