芳香性概念的新发展

关于芳香性的定义一直是人们关注讨论的焦点.具有非传统芳香性的化合物层出不穷,芳香性的概念也因此有了很大的发展.本文具体介绍了同芳香性、莫比乌斯体系的芳香性、C60以及三维结构中的芳香性、Y型芳香性等芳香性概念发展的前沿方向,并尝试对芳香性概念的最新发展作简要讨论.     

NiTi过渡金属团簇的结构和芳香性的理论研究

在B3PW91/6-311+G(d)计算水平上, 计算并讨论了Ni₄Ti₂, [Ni₄Ti₂]²⁺, [Ni₄Ti₂]^2-与Ni₄Ti₄, [Ni₄Ti₄]²⁺, [Ni₄Ti₄]^2-团簇的几何结构和芳香性. 在构型优化过程中得到了Ni₄Ti₂(D_4h), [Ni₄Ti₂]²⁺(D_4h), [Ni₄Ti₂]^2-(D_4h)和Ni₄Ti₄(D_2h)4个稳定构型, 发现当引入上下2个Ti原子后, Ni₄环成为了平面正方形构型. 核无关化学位移(NICS)计算结果表明, Ni₄Ti₂(D_4h)与Ni₄Ti₄(D_2h)的NICS值为正, 而[Ni₄Ti₂]²⁺(D_4h)和[Ni₄Ti₂]^2-(D_4h)的NICS值为负, 且[Ni₄Ti₂]^2-(D_4h)的NICS值更负. 同时还发现, 由s与d轨道参与形成的反磁性环流是引起[Ni₄Ti₂]²⁺(D_4h)和[Ni₄Ti₂]^2-(D_4h)具有较大芳香性的主要原因; 其中Ti原子主要提供d_z²与s轨道, 而Ni原子主要利用其d_z²与d_x²-y²轨道形成正方形环, 它们之间构成了球状的d轨道环流, 且[Ni₄Ti₂]²⁺(D_4h)和[Ni₄Ti₂]^2-(D_4h)中还有非常明显的π轨道环流.     

Griseofulvin: An Updated Overview of Old and Current Knowledge

Griseofulvin is an antifungal polyketide metabolite produced mainly by ascomycetes. Since it was commercially introduced in 1959, griseofulvin has been used in treating dermatophyte infections. This fungistatic has gained increasing interest for multifunctional applications in the last decades due to its potential to disrupt mitosis and cell division in human cancer cells and arrest hepatitis C virus replication. In addition to these inhibitory effects, we and others found griseofulvin may enhance ACE2 function, contribute to vascular vasodilation, and improve capillary blood flow. Furthermore, molecular docking analysis revealed that griseofulvin and its derivatives have good binding potential with SARS-CoV-2 main protease, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), and spike protein receptor-binding domain (RBD), suggesting its inhibitory effects on SARS-CoV-2 entry and viral replication. These findings imply the repurposing potentials of the FDA-approved drug griseofulvin in designing and developing novel therapeutic interventions. In this review, we have summarized the available information from its discovery to recent progress in this growing field. Additionally, explored is the possible mechanism leading to rare hepatitis induced by griseofulvin. We found that griseofulvin and its metabolites, including 6-desmethylgriseofulvin (6-DMG) and 4- desmethylgriseofulvin (4-DMG), have favorable interactions with cytokeratin intermediate filament proteins (K8 and K18), ranging from −3.34 to −5.61 kcal mol⁻¹. Therefore, they could be responsible for liver injury and Mallory body (MB) formation in hepatocytes of human, mouse, and rat treated with griseofulvin. Moreover, the stronger binding of griseofulvin to K18 in rodents than in human may explain the observed difference in the severity of hepatitis between rodents and human.

Aromaticity in azlactone anions and its significance for the Erlenmeyer synthesis

Azlactone anions—the key intermediates in the classical Erlenmeyer synthesis of amino acids—apparently possess aromatic stabilization, as indicated by the relative rate of base catalyzed deuterium exchange in the following analogs: 1-methyl-2-phenyl-5(4H)-imidazolone > 2-phenyl-5(4H)-oxazolone (azlactone) > 3,3-dimethyl-2-phenyl-4(3H)-pyrrolone. This is paralleled by the relative rate of condensation of these compounds with hexadeuteroacetone. Reported pK_a data also suggest that the azlactone products of the Erlenmeyer synthesis are analogs of the fulvenes.     

New Anthraquinone Derivatives as Electrochemical Redox Indicators for the Visualization of the DNA Hybridization Process

Interactions of dsDNA and ssDNA, at the surface of gold and silver electrodes, with three novel anthraquinone derivatives: 3‐(9′,10′‐dioxo‐9′,10′‐dihydro‐anthracen‐1‐yl)‐7,11‐di(carboxymethyl)‐3,7,11‐triazatridecanedioic acid, (AQ‐1); 1‐(9′,10′‐dioxo‐9′,10′‐dihydro‐anthracen‐1yl)‐9‐carboxymethyl‐5‐methyl‐1,5,9‐triazaundecanoicacid, (AQ‐2); and N‐(2‐(9,10‐dioxo‐9,10‐dihydro‐anthracen‐1‐ylamino)ethyl)‐2‐(1,4,10,13‐tetraoxa‐7,16‐diazacyclooctadecan‐7‐yl)acetamide, (AQ‐3) are studied. These derivatives are well soluble in water and phosphate buffer solutions. The square wave voltammetric behavior of these redox indicators is described and the parameters of interactions with DNA are reported. It is also pointed out that these compounds can be employed as the hybridization indicators. The difference in the binding ability of the particular redox indicator to single and double stranded DNA can be used for the detection of the complementary nucleic acids.     

Aromaticity of caffeine,xanthine and the dimethyl xanthines

Xanthine, caffeine and three isomeric dimethyl xanthines (theobromine, theophylline and paraxanthine) are often described as aromatic on various criteria. Here we complete the picture by assessing these molecules for aromaticity on the ring-current criterion. Magnetic response calculations are performed at the B3LYP and CHF/6-31G^∗∗ ipsocentric levels of theory on structures optimised at the B3LYP/6-31G^∗∗ level. All five systems display consistent π-electron ring-currents delocalised around the imidazole moiety in all cases; these are accompanied by localised features on the six-membered rings attributed to nitrogen and oxygen ‘lone-pair’ π-electron circulations. All are therefore aromatic on the magnetic criterion, with a ‘locally delocalised’ ring current in the imidazole moiety, similar to those in the isolated imidazole and methylimidazole molecules.

Production of Plant Proteases and New Biotechnological Applications: An Updated Review

An updated review of emerging plant proteases with potential biotechnological application is presented. Plant proteases show comparable or even greater performance than animal or microbial proteases for by-product valorization through hydrolysis for, for example, cheese whey, bird feathers, collagen, keratinous materials, gelatin, fish protein, and soy protein. Active biopeptides can be obtained as high added value products, which have shown numerous beneficial effects on human health. Plant proteases can also be used for wastewater treatment. The production of new plant proteases is encouraged for the following advantages: low cost of isolation using simple procedures, remarkable stability over a wide range of operating conditions (temperature, pH, salinity, and organic solvents), substantial affinity to a broad variety of substrates, and possibility of immobilization. Vegetable proteases have enormous application potential for the valorization of industrial waste and its conversion into products with high added value through low-cost processes.
