New hemiketal steroid from the soft coral Cladiella sp

[structure: see text] A new hemiketal steroid, named cladiellin A (1), was first isolated from the soft coral Cladiella sp. Its structure was determined by spectroscopic methods and X-ray analysis. Compound 1 easily converted to 1a when NMR spectra were measured in CDCl(3) solution and quickly changed to 1b when pyridine was used. The structures of dehydrated products 1a and 1b were determined by spectroscopic analysis. Bioassay showed that all these three compounds showed antioxidant activity.     

Antiviral enantiomers of a bisindole alkaloid with a new carbon skeleton from the roots of Isatis indigotica

A pair of indole alkaloid enantiomers with a novel bisindolylacetamide skeleton, insatindibisindolamides A and B (1a and 1b), was isolated from an aqueous extract of Isatis indigotica roots. The enantiomers were separated by chiral HPLC. Their structures and absolute configurations were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis, including 2D NMR, X-ray crystallography, and electronic CD (ECD) calculation. The proposed biosynthetic pathway and preliminary investigations of the biological activity of compounds 1a and 1b are also discussed.

Tristaenone A: A New Anti-Inflammatory Compound Isolated from the Australian Indigenous Plant Tristaniopsis laurina

Inspired by ethnopharmacological knowledge, we conducted a bioassay-guided fractionation of the leaves of Tristaniopsis laurina which led to the discovery of a new anti-inflammatory compound, tristaenone A (1). The structure was elucidated by detailed spectroscopic data analysis, and the absolute configuration was established using X-ray crystallography analysis. Tristaenone A (1) suppressed LPS and IFN-γ-induced NO, TNF-α and IL-6 production in RAW 264.7 cells with IC₅₀ values of 37.58 ± 2.45 μM, 80.6 ± 5.82 μM and 125.65 ± 0.34 μM, respectively. It also inhibited NF-κB nuclear translocation by 52.93 ± 14.14% at a concentration of 31.85 μM.     

Orbital-Overlap control in the solid-state reactivity of beta-azido-propiophenones: selective formation of cis-azo-dimers

Solid-state photolysis of 1a,b yields selectively cis-3a,b. X-ray analysis of 1a,b reveals the molecules adopt an extended structure and as such the crystal packing arrangement consists of planar, pi-stacked molecules. The shortest intermolecular distance between adjacent N-atoms is approximately 3.76 A and would lead to formation of trans-3a,b, whereas cis-3a,b is formed by dimerization between N-atoms that are approximately 3.9 A apart. We propose that the molecular orbital alignment of the adjacent nitrenes controls the solid-state reactivity.

The white crystalline material was found to have the formula C6H8O4 and a crystal structure with a monoclinic cell [a = 9.167 A, b = 5.681 A, c = 5.880 A, beta = 90.0 degrees , space group I2] of hexagonally arranged spiro-oligomeric chains.     

Characterization of hemoglobin immobilized on gamma-zirconium phosphate

The fact that different γ-zirconium phosphate (γ-ZrP) preintercalation method induced varied degree and type of conformational change of the adsorption protein was confirmed by characterization techniques including circular dichroism (CD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis. The results indicated that the association of hemoglobin with γ-ZrP preintercalated using butylamine was correlated with conformational change in the secondary structure of the protein. γ-ZrP which was preintercalated with tetra (n-butylammonium) hydroxide caused the conformational change of Hemoglobin in both the secondary structure and the tertiary structure. X-ray powder diffraction analysis was used to analyze the crystalline structure of the nanocomposites prepared by relamination. The adsorption isotherms of Hemoglobin on different matrices were set up and fitted with Langmuir and Freundlich equations.

A 8.2:1.8 anti-diastereosetectivity was also observed by reacting 2,3,4,5-O-tetraacetyl-al- -(−)-arabinose 1b with di-d-menthylmalonate. The absolute stereochemistry of the major hepturonate 10 obtained in this reaction was secured by a single crystal X-ray analysis.

Crystal structures and thermal and electrical properties of the new silver (poly)chalcogenide halides Ag23Te12Cl and Ag23Te12Br

Two new silver (poly)chalcogenide halides, Ag23Te12Cl and Ag23Te12Br, were characterized by powder X-ray phase analysis, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, and crystal structure determinations at various temperatures. Thermal analyses of both compounds and electrochemical measurements for the bromide completed the investigation. The compounds Ag23Te12X (X = Cl, Br) are isostructural and crystallize orthorhombically (space group Pnnm, Z = 4) as systematic twins. The lattice parameter values derived from X-ray powder data were a = 21.214(2) A, b = 21.218(2) A, c = 7.7086(7) A, and V = 3469.8(6) A (3) for Ag23Te12Cl at 293 K and a = 21.170(1) A, b = 21.170(1) A, c = 7.7458(5) A, and V = 3471.4(4) A (3) for Ag23Te12Br at 298 K. An enhanced silver ion mobility was revealed by impedance spectroscopy investigations. No phase transitions were observed in the temperature range 100-750 K. These two silver(I) (poly)chalcogenide halides are the second set of representatives of a new class of coinage-metal (poly)chalcogenide halides in which both covalently bonded [Te2](2-) dumbbells and ionically bonded Te(2-) anions appear.

Surfactant-free hydrothermal synthesis of highly tetragonal barium titanate nanowires: a structural investigation

Barium titanate nanowires synthesized with a surfactant-free hydrothermal method have been characterized by various techniques such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), synchrotron X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectroscopy. The TEM and SEM analyses show the uniform cylindrical nanowires. The Rietveld refinement with synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction showed that the lattice parameters of cubic and tetragonal phases were a (= b = c) = 4.0134 A and a (= b) = 3.9998 A, c = 4.0303 A, respectively. The final weighted R-factor, R(wp), was 6.75% and the goodness of fit indicator was 1.30. The mass fraction of tetragonal and cubic phases based on the refined scale factor for the two phases were 98.4% and 1.6%, respectively, which clearly show the nanowires are tetragonal. The XPS analysis has shown that as-obtained BaTiO3 nanowires were phase pure. The Raman spectra confirm the tetragonal phase of the BaTiO3 nanowires. The dielectric constant measurement shows the shift in the transition temperature (Tc = 105 degrees C) compared to the bulk transition temperature (Tc = 132 degrees C). The dielectric constant at Tc was 174 measured at 1 kHz frequency.     

The structure of the CT complex between 5,7,12,14-tetramethoxydibenzo[b,i]thianthrene with TCNQ

The structure of 1,4-dithiines obtained from orthodihalogeno heterocycles with thiocarbonyl compounds was determined by X-ray structure analysis of the intermolecular charge-transfer complex between 5,7,12,14-tetramethoxydibenzo[b,i]thianthrene and TCNQ. The formation of the thiazole ring has already been reported but the products were confirmed to be 1,4-dithiines by X-ray structure analysis and the previously reported results.     

4-Aziadamantan-1-amine: synthesis, reactions and cyclodextrin complexes

A new and potentially therapeutic diazirine, 4-aziadamantan-1-amine, was synthesized. Structural characterization also included single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Photolysis of the title compound in the solid phase afforded an azine. In contrast, pyrolysis in the gas phase gave two intramolecular carbene insertion products in a 4:1 ratio. A rationale for the observed diastereoselectivity is offered based upon ab initio calculations. Finally, inclusion compounds of the title compound with - and β-cyclodextrin were prepared. A 2:1 complex bearing two hosts was formed with -cyclodextrin and a 1:1 complex was obtained with β-cyclodextrin. The association constants were determined via induced circular dichroism (ICD) analysis.
