丁酸壳聚糖液晶的临界行为研究

用偏光显微镜法测定了丁酸壳聚糖在四种酸性溶剂中的临界浓度值．发现临界浓度值（ｖ／ｖ％）与溶剂的酸性无关，都是１６％～１７％．在以二氯乙酸为溶剂时，不同丁酰化程度的丁酸壳聚糖有相同的临界浓度．用ＤＳＣ法测定了丁酸壳聚糖／二氯乙酸体系的临界温度，并绘制了相图．结果表明，浓度达６０％（ｗ／ｗ％）后，临界温度基本不再变化，稳定在３９℃左右．

Chiral stationary phases based on chitosan bis(4‐methylphenylcarbamate)‐(alkoxyformamide)

Highly N‐deacetylated chitosan was chosen as a natural chiral origin for the synthesis of the selectors of chiral stationary phases. Therefore, chitosan was firstly acylated by various alkyl chloroformates yielding chitosan alkoxyformamides, and then these resulting products were further derivatized with 4‐methylphenyl isocyanate to afford chitosan bis(4‐methylphenylcarbamate)‐(alkoxyformamide). A series of chiral stationary phases was prepared by coating these derivatives on 3‐aminopropyl silica gel. The content of the derivatives on the chiral stationary phases was nearly 20% by weight. The chiral stationary phases prepared from chitosan bis(4‐methylphenylcarbamate)‐(ethoxyformamide) and chitosan bis(4‐methylphenylcarbamate)‐(isopropoxyformamide) comparatively showed better enantioseparation capability than those prepared from chitosan bis(4‐methylphenylcarbamate)‐(n‐pentoxyformamide) and chitosan bis(4‐methylphenylcarbamate)‐(benzoxyformamide). The tolerance against organic solvents of the chiral stationary phase of chitosan bis(4‐methylphenylcarbamate)‐(ethoxyformamide) was investigated, and the results revealed that this phase can work in 100% ethyl acetate and 100% chloroform mobile phases. Because as‐synthesized chiral selectors did not dissolve in many common organic solvents, the corresponding chiral stationary phases can be utilized in a wider range of mobile phases in comparison with conventional coating type chiral stationary phases of cellulose and amylose derivatives.     

邻苯二甲酰化壳聚糖的合成与溶致液晶表征

从全脱乙酰化壳聚糖出发,在室温下合成了一系列不同取代度的邻苯二甲酰化壳聚糖(PhCS),由于反应条件温和,产物未发生进一步的酰亚胺化.X射线电子能谱(XPS)被用来测定PhCS的取代度.测定结果表明在N上和O上均发生取代,N上反应的取代度随酸酐用量的增加基本保持不变(0.26±0.03),而O上的取代度却不断变大(0.01～1.54),合成产物的总取代度为0.26～1.81.邻苯二甲酰化壳聚糖可溶解于普通的有机溶剂,如DMSO、二氯乙酸和甲酸,并形成溶致液晶.测定了PhCS在这些溶剂中的临界浓度(c),结果表明c基本上不受取代度变化的影响.     

CH2,NH,and O heteroatom substitution effects on the electronic,optical,and charge transport properties of a 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole-based derivative:Insights from theory

A set of CH2-,NH-,and O-substituted 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole(BTD)-based derivatives have been investigated theoretically in order to explore their electronic,optical,and charge transport properties.The calculation results show that the electronic and optical properties of the pristine molecule can be easily tuned through changing the S substituent in the central aromatic ring.Based on the calculated maximum emission wavelength,we predict that CH2-,NH-,and O-substituted BTD-based derivatives could be used as red,green,and orange light-emitting materials,respectively.After CH2-,NH-or O-substitution,the oscillator strengths of the emission spectra are enhanced with respect to that of the pristine molecule,implying that these compounds have larger fluorescence intensity.Finally,it can be deduced that CH2-,NH-,and O-substituted BTD-based derivatives may act as hole transport materials in organic light-emitting diodes.     

Magnetic chitosan functionalized with β‐cyclodextrin as ultrasound‐assisted extraction adsorbents for the removal of methyl orange in wastewater coupled with high‐performance liquid chromatography

Three types of choline chloride based deep eutectic solvents were prepared and used to modify magnetic chitosan. The adsorption capacity of the three deep‐eutectic‐solvent‐modified magnetic chitosan/carboxymethyl‐β‐cyclodextrin for removing methyl orange from wastewater was examined. The different deep eutectic solvents were used to strengthen the adsorption capacity of magnetic chitosan. Deep‐eutectic‐solvent‐modified magnetic chitosan/carboxymethyl‐β‐cyclodextrin materials were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area measurements. Among the three deep eutectic solvents, choline chloride/glycerol (1:2) modified magnetic chitosan/carboxymethyl‐β‐cyclodextrin showed the highest adsorption capacity to methyl orange. Therefore, choline chloride/glycerol (1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:6) deep eutectic solvents were prepared for the assay, and choline chloride/glycerol‐modified magnetic chitosan/carboxymethyl‐β‐cyclodextrin prepared with choline chloride/glycerol (1:3) (volume: 40 μg, contact time: 30 min, and pH: 6) had the best adsorption capacity over the concentration range of 10–200 μg/mL.     

Rearrangement of azidoximes to tetrazole derivatives

Some new azidoximes and their O-substituted derivatives as well as 5-substituted-1-acyloxy- and 1-hydroxytetrazoles were prepared. O-Substitution of azidoximes followed by protonation were found to be the initial steps in their cyclisation to tetrazole derivatives. The mechanism of the cyclisation reaction was proposed and the structure of 5-substituted-1-hydroxytetrazoles discussed.     

Fluorophore-appended steroidal saponin (dioscin and polyphyllin D) derivatives

The synthesis of three fluorophore-appended derivatives of dioscin and polyphyllin D is reported herein. Starting from trillin, dansyl derivatives A-C were prepared in overall yields of 7-12% over 7-10 steps. A study of their behavior in a variety of polar solvents suggests that dansyl derivatives A-C are capable of micellar self-assembly and can maintain cytotoxicities (IC50 = 15-18 muM) against the HeLa carcinoma cell line evaluated by standard MTT assay.

Insecticidal activities of the derivatives against Phopalosiphum pseudobrassicae, Spodoptera exigua and Pluteua xylosteua were evaluated.     

Cellulose/chitosan hybrid nanofibers from electrospinning of their ester derivatives

A facile approach has been established to generate cellulose/chitosan hybrid nanofibers with full range of compositions by electrospinning of their ester derivatives, cellulose acetate (CA) and dibutyryl chitin (DBC), followed by alkaline hydrolysis to cellulose (Cell) and chitosan (CS). DBC was synthesized by acid-catalyzed acylation of chitin (CHI) with butyric anhydride and the newly formed butyl groups on C3 and C6 were confirmed by FT-IR and ¹HNMR. DBC had robust solubility in acetone, DMAc, DMF, ethanol, and acetic acid, all except ethanol were also solvents for CA, allowing mixing of these ester derivatives. Fiber formation by electrospinning of either DBC or CA alone and together in these common solvents and their mixtures were studied. The 1/1 acetone/acetic acid was found to be the optimal solvent system to generate fibers from either DBC or CA as well as their mixtures at all CA/DBC ratios, resulting in hybrid fibers with diameters ranging from 30 to 350 nm. DBC and CA were well mixed and showed no phase separate in the hybrid fibers. Alkaline hydrolysis (NaOH) of the equal mass CA/DBC nanofibers regenerated Cell and CHI readily via O-deacylation, then proceeded to further deacetylate CHI to CS via N-deacetylation at higher alkaline concentrations and/or temperatures. Under conditions studied, hydrolysis with 5N NaOH at 100 °C for 3 h was optimal to regenerate cellulose/chitosan hybrid nanofibers.     

The aggregation behavior of O-carboxymethylchitosan in dilute aqueous solution

O-Carboxymethylchitosan (OCMCS) is a kind of biocompatible derivatives of chitosan whose water solubility is strongly dependent on the degree of carboxymethylation. The OCMCS with 100 carboxymethyl groups and 75 amino groups per 100 anhydroglucosamine units of OCMCS was synthesized by the reaction of chitosan and monochloroacetic. When OCMCS was dissolved in water, its solution was neutral and OCMCS behaved like a weak polyanionic polyeclectrolyte because most of carboxylic groups were not dissociated in neutral aqueous solution. The aggregation behavior of OCMCS in aqueous solution was studied by surface tensiometry, steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy and viscometry. The critical aggregation concentration (cac) of OCMCS was determined to be between 0.042 mg/ml and 0.050 mg/ml. The possible aggregation mechanism of OCMCS in water was elucidated.

Novel S-, S,S- and S,O-substituted nitrodiene compounds were synthesized from the reactions of 2-nitro-pentachloro-1,3-butadiene (1) and various thiols in different solvent media. The N,S-substituted nitrodienes also were achieved by the reactions of S-substituted nitrodienes with using morpholine, piperidine and piperazine derivatives. All of the new compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, UV-VIS, FT-IR, ¹H-NMR, NMR and mass spectroscopy.

Chitosan and its derivatives in extensional and shear flows

Allylchitosan and propylchitosan with different degrees of substitution were prepared on the basis of chitosan from shrimp chitin. The dynamics of semidilute electrolytic polymer solutions of chitosan derivatives in acetic acid was studied by measuring birefringence in extensional and shear flows and by means of viscometry. The optical shear coefficient and critical velocity gradients corresponding to the loss of stability of the macromolecular coil in extensional flow were found. The chain relaxation times depending on the polyelectrolyte concentration and ionic strength of solution were determined.     

Regioselective synthesis and biological activity of oxidized chitosan derivatives

Oxidized chitosan derivatives with various degrees of oxidation (DS, 0.1–1.0) were prepared by the treatment of chitosan with CrO₃/aq HClO₄ or by the oxidation of ­3‐O‐ and N‐protected chitosan with 30% aq H₂O₂/Na₂WO₄ followed by 3‐O‐ and N‐deprotection. The oxidized products were then N‐acetylated with Ac₂O in order to improve their water‐solubility. Although the oxidized chitosan derivative of DS 0.28 and the degree of N‐acetylation of chitosan (DA) 38% was insoluble in the pH 3–8 region, that of DS 0.26 and DA 76% was soluble in the neutral pH range. The newly‐prepared acetylated and oxidized chitosan derivatives were found to suppress the chemiluminescence response of inflammatory cells such as canine polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs). Analysis by the surface plasmon resonance method revealed that the bind and release behavior of PMNs to acetylated oxidized chitosan derivatives was similar to that against carboxymethylated chitosan derivatives. The amount of water‐soluble chitosan derivative bound to cytokine IL‐8 was found to be affected by the structural and electronic features of the chitosan substituents in the chitosan chain.

Therefore itcan be used as an indicator of the chain rigidity.

Water-soluble derivatives of chitosan as a target delivery system of <Superscript>99m</Superscript>Tc to some organs in vivo for nuclear imaging and biodistribution

Carboxymethyl chitosan, (CMC), and N-lauryl-carboxymethyl chitosan (LCMC), have been prepared as water soluble derivatives of chitosan. These biodegradable chitosan derivatives were characterized and investigated for nuclear imaging and body distribution. They were labeled with ^99mTc to use them as targeted delivery to some organs in vivo for nuclear imaging and to follow their biodistribution within the body. The factors controlling the labeling efficiency have been investigated. The percent labeling yield was determined by using ascending paper chromatographic technique. In vivo biodistribution studies of radiolabeled chitosan derivatives were carried out in groups of female Wistar rats, the body distribution profile in rat was recorded by gamma scintigraphy and the biodistribution of ^99mTc-labeled compounds in each organ was calculated as a percentage of the injected dose per gram of tissue (%ID/g). It has been found that the biodistribution of the two compounds and the pattern of their liver uptake were markedly different. The present study demonstrates a high potential approach for liver imaging using ^99mTc-LCMC. An intriguing finding of this study was that the three samples were excreted rapidly via the kidneys because of the water-soluble nature of chitosan derivatives. This suggests that water-soluble chitosan derivatives are good polymeric carriers for radioactive element that overcomes accumulation in the body. Moreover, the easy and inexpensive availability of chitosan could be beneficial for applications in scintigraphic imaging.
