Two bioactive cyclic dipeptides, cyclo(L-Pro-L-Tyr) and cyclo(D-Pro-L-Tyr), were isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. strain 22-4 and tested against three economically important plant pathogens, Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri, Ralstonia solanacearum and Clavibacter michiganensis. Both cyclic dipeptides were active against X. axonopodis pv. citri and R. Solanacearum with MIC of 31.25 μg/mL. No activity could be observed against C. michiganensis. 相似文献

Polycarbodiimide (CDI) was used to improve the thermal stability of poly(l-lactic acid) (PLA) during processing. The properties of PLA containing various amounts of CDI were characterized by GPC, DSC, rheology, and tensile tests. The results showed that an addition of CDI in an amount of 0.1-0.7 wt% with respect to PLA led to stabilization of PLA at even 210 °C for up to 30 min, as evidenced by much smaller changes in molecular weight, melt viscosity, and tensile strength and elongation compared to the blank PLA samples. In order to examine the possible stabilization mechanism, CDI was reacted with water, acetic acid, l-lactic acid, ethanol and low molecular weight PLA. The molecular structures of the reaction products were measured with FTIR. The results showed that CDI could react with the residual or newly formed moisture and lactic acid, or carboxyl and hydroxyl end groups in the PLA samples, and thus hamper the thermal degradation and hydrolysis of PLA. 相似文献

Biodegradable poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) nanofiber was prepared by a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser supersonic drawing which was carried out by irradiating the laser on an as-spun fiber in a supersonic jet. The supersonic jet was generated by blowing off air into a vacuum chamber from a fiber supplying orifice. The flow velocity from the orifice can be estimated by applying Graham’s theorem from the pressure difference between the atmospheric pressure and the pressure of the vacuum chamber. The fastest flow velocity estimated was 396 m s−1 when the chamber pressure was 6 kPa. The PLLA nanofiber having an average diameter of 0.132 μm was obtained when the supersonic drawing was carried out by irradiating the laser at 177 W cm−2 on the as-spun fiber supplied at 0.1 m min−1 in the vacuum chamber at 6 kPa. The obtained nanofiber had a draw ratio of about 323,000 and a degree of crystallinity of 45%, and its diameter uniformity was high. The CO2 laser supersonic drawing was a new route for preparation of various nanofibers without using any solvent. 相似文献

The speciation of curium(III) with L-threonine and O-phospho-L-threonine was determined by time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS) at trace Cm(III) concentrations (3?×?10?7?M). Curium species of the type MpHqLr were identified in the L-threonine- and O-phospho-L-threonine system. These complexes are characterized by their individual luminescence spectra and luminescence lifetimes. The following formation constants were determined (a) for L-threonine: log?β101?=?6.72?±?0.07, log?β102?=?10.22?±?0.09, and log?β1–22?=?(7.22?±?0.19) at ionic strength I?=?0.5?M and (b) for O-phospho-L-threonine: log?β121?=?18.03?±?0.13 and log?β111?=?14.17?±?0.09 at ionic strength I?=?0.154?M. Possible structures of the identified curium species are discussed on the basis of the luminescence lifetime measurements and the magnitude of the formation constants. 相似文献

This article contains a detailed analysis of the crystallization behavior of poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA). Crystallization rates of PLLA have been measured in a wide temperature range, using both isothermal and non-isothermal methods. The combined usage of multiple thermal treatments allowed to obtain information on crystallization kinetics of PLLA at temperatures almost ranging from glass transition to melting point. Crystallization rate of PLLA is very high at temperatures between 100 and 118 °C, showing a clear deviation from the usual bell-shaped curve. This discontinuity has been ascribed to a sudden acceleration in spherulite growth, and is not associated to morphological changes in the appearance of PLLA spherulites. Experimental data of spherulite growth rates of PLLA have been analyzed with Hoffman-Lauritzen method. Applicability and limitations of this theoretical treatment have been discussed. 相似文献

The N‐thiocarbonic acid anhydrosulfides NTAs of D,L‐leucine, D,L‐phenylalanine and sarcosine were polymerized in dioxane by addition of n‐hexylamine as initiator. Despite variation of the monomer‐initiator ratio (M/I) only low yields of oligopeptides were obtained from D,L‐Leu‐ and D,L‐Phe‐NTA. Both yields and molecular weights were almost twice as high for polymerizations of Sar‐NTA. MALDI‐TOF mass spectra confirmed that the isolated oligo‐and polypeptides possess the expected structure with one reactive amino end group. Therefore, it is surprising that the polymerizations stopped at low conversions. Two hypotheses explaining this phenomenon are discussed. 相似文献

Two amino acid complexes, [Cd(L-glu)(H2O)] n ?·?nH2O (1) and [Co(L-asp)(phen)(N3)]?·?2H2O (2) (L-glu?=?L-glutamate, L-asp?=?L-aspartate, phen?=?1,10-phenanthroline), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and TG-DSC analysis. Single crystal X-ray structure analyses revealed that each L-glutamate acts as a pentadentate ligand binding to three octahedral Cd(II) atoms through the amino group and two carboxyl groups to form a neutral helical network. Complex 2 is a mononuclear compound in which Co(III) is octahedrally coordinated by tridentate L-aspartate, monodentate azide and chelating phen ligand. Thermal stability and fluorescence of 1 have been investigated. The complex shows strong blue fluorescence in the solid state. 相似文献

Low molecular weight poly(lactic acid) was synthesized by direct polycondensation of lactic acid. The oligomers were characterized by viscometry, light scattering, and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The swelling behaviour of tablets made of the above polymer immersed in buffer solutions at 37 °C was studied. In the same experiments, the hydrolytic stability of d,l-PLA was assessed by measuring the weight loss after drying the tablets. In order to inhibit any degradation due to bacteria, formaldehyde was added in the solution as biostatic factor. The effect of an incorporated drug on the swelling behaviour of d,l-PLA tablets was also considered. It was found that the incorporation of drug in d,l-PLA tablets increases their swelling index, probably due to the creation of additional porosity in the specimens or other interaction between drug and polymeric matrix. 相似文献

New zinc(II) and copper(II) complexes with a reduced Schiff-base ligand derived from D,L-selenomethionine and salicylaldehyde have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, IR, and NMR measurements. The single-crystal X-ray structure of the Cu(II) complex reveals that this complex is a carboxylate-bridged dimer of dinuclear copper(II) subunits and all metal centers are five-coordinate with O4N donor sets in distorted square-pyramidal geometries. The Cu(II) complex consists of a 1-D coordination polymer. 相似文献

Triptolide (TP), which has immunosuppressive effect, anti-neoplastic activity, anti-fertility function and severe toxicities on digestive, urogenital, blood circulatory system, was used as a model drug in this study. TP-loaded poly (d,l-lactic acid) (PLA) nanoparticles were prepared by the modified spontaneous emulsification solvent diffusion method (modified-SESD method). Dynamic light scattering system (DLS), transmission electron microscope (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffractometry and Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FT-IR) were employed to characterize the nanoparticles fabricated for size and size distribution, surface morphology, the physical state of drug in nanoparticles, and the interaction between the drug and polymer. Encapsulation efficiency (EE) and the in vitro release of TP in nanoparticles were measured by the reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The produced nanoparticles exhibited a narrow size distribution with a mean size of approximately 150 nm and polydispersity index of 0.088. The morphology of the nanoparticles exhibited a fine spherical shape with smooth surfaces without aggregation or adhesion. TP-entrapped in nanoparticles was found in the form of amorphous or semicrystalline. It was found that a weak interaction existed between the drug and polymer. In all experiments, more than 65% of EE were obtained. The in vitro release profile of TP from nanoparticles exhibited a typical biphasic release phenomenon, namely initial burst release and consequently sustained release. In this case, the particle size played an important role for the drug release. The modified-SESD method was a potential and advantage method to produce an ideal polymer nanoparticles for drug delivery system (DDS). 相似文献

Conformers of N-methacryloyl-(L)-glutamic acid (MAGA, C9H13NO5) in the gas phase, benzene or methanol environment were searched by the density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT. Selected conformational isomers based on potential energy surface analysis were studied by considering the structural and electronic properties. B3LYP functional, and HF and MP2 levels were used with the 6-31+G(d,p), 6-311+G(3df,p) and aug-cc-pVDZ basis sets. We explored the effect of medium on the conformational preferences, UV spectra and frontier molecular orbitals of the conformers. The outcomes of this research will be useful for future studies including moieties analogous to MAGA. 相似文献

(Lactic acid, ethylene glycol, malonic or succinic acid) copolymers [(LA-EG-MA) and (LA-EG-SA) copolymers] were synthesized with different monomer feed ratios by direct polycondensation. The copolymers were characterized in terms of various properties such as acid value and number average molecular weight. The aerobic biodegradation under controlled composting conditions of commercially available and laboratory synthesized poly(l-lactic acid) (PLA) and synthesized copolymers was carried out according to ISO 14855-1:2005. The biodegradability of tested materials was found to be strongly dependent on the lactic acid content, ranging from 94% (method A) and 104% (method B) to 43% (method A) and 46% (method B) over the 110-days of the 50 °C composting. 相似文献

Nano n-propylsulfonated γ-Fe2O3 was found to be a highly efficient, reusable heterogeneous catalyst for the conversion of a range of monosaccharides and some of their derivatives to the corresponding O-isopropylidene derivatives in good to excellent yields by refluxing the reaction mixture in dry acetone. The magnetic property of the catalyst enabled its separation from the reaction mixture by a simple process of filtration along with the aid of an external magnet. The efficiency of the catalyst was found to be largely unaffected for at least up to six cycles of reuse, thus proving the new methodology to be environmentally rewarding besides being simple and facile in operation. 相似文献

Films of poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) with different number-average molecular weights (Mn) and d-lactide unit contents (Xd) were made amorphous and the effects of molecular weight and small amounts of d-lactide units on the hydrolytic degradation behavior in phosphate-buffered solution at 37 °C of PLLA were investigated. The degraded films were investigated using gravimetry, gel permeation chromatography, polarimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffractometry, and tensile testing. To exclude the effects of crystallinity on the hydrolytic degradation, the films were made amorphous by melt-quenching. The incorporation of small amounts of d-lactide units drastically enhanced the hydrolytic degradation of PLLA. In the period of 0-32 weeks, the hydrolytic degradation rate constant (k) of PLLA films increased with increasing Xd, while the k values did not depend on Mn. This means that the effects of Xd on the hydrolytic degradation rate of the films are higher than those of Mn. In contrast, in the period of 32-60 weeks neither Xd nor Mn was a crucial parameter to determine k values, probably because in addition to these parameters the differences in the amount of catalytic oligomers accumulated in films and crystallinity affect the hydrolytic degradation behavior of the films. The initially amorphous PLLA films remained amorphous even after the hydrolytic degradation for 60 weeks. 相似文献

Novel butanediamine-grafted poly(dl-lactic acid) polymers (BDPLAs) were synthesized via a series of chemical bulk modifications in this study. Briefly, maleic anhydride (MAH) was first grafted onto the side chain of poly(dl-lactic acid) (PDLLA) molecules via melt free radical copolymerization using benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as initiator to get maleic anhydride-grafted PDLLA polymers (MPLAs); thereafter butanediamine (BDA) was immobilized onto grafted anhydride groups in MPLAs via N-acylation reaction to obtain the desired BDPLAs. Gel permeation chromatography with multi-angle laser light scattering (GPC-MALLS), FT-IR, 13C NMR and XPS were employed to qualitatively characterize these synthesized polymers. Rhodamine-carboxyl interaction method and ninhydrin reaction were further used to quantitatively determine the graft ratio of MAH (MAH%) in MPLAs and the graft ratio of BDA (BDA%) in BDPLAs, respectively. The degradations of BDPLAs, PDLLA and MPLAs were investigated by observation of the changes of the pH value of incubation medium, molecular weight and weight loss ratio for a time interval of 12 weeks in vitro, respectively. The results revealed that grafting butanediamine onto PDLLA has weakened or neutralized the acidity of PDLLA degradation products. A uniform degradation of BDPLAs was observed in comparison with an acidity-induced auto-accelerating degradation featured by PDLLA and MPLAs. The biodegradation behaviors of BDPLAs are tunable by controlling the content of BDA. BDPLAs might be a new derivative of PDLLA-based biodegradable materials for medical applications without acidity-caused irritations and acidity-induced auto-accelerating degradation behavior as that of PDLLA. 相似文献

Crystalline morphologies of spin-coated poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) thin films under different conditions are investigated mainly with atomic force microscopy (AFM) technique. When PLLA concentration in chloroform is varied from 0.01 to 1% gradually, disordered structure, rod-shape and larger spheres aggregates are observed in thin films subsequently. Under different annealing temperature, such as at 78, 102, 122 °C, respectively, we can find most rod-like crystalline aggregates. Interestingly, we observed that nucleation sites locate at the edge of the holes at the original crystalline stage. Then, these holes developed to form chrysanthemum-like and rods subsequently with annealing time meanwhile the size and the shape of crystalline aggregate are changed. In addition, effect of substrate and solvent on morphology is also discussed. On the other hand, the possible mechanism of crystalline morphology evolution is proposed. 相似文献

Two copper(II) complexes of L-arginine, trans-[Cu(l-Arg)2(NO3)]NO3 · 3H2O (1) and {cis-[Cu(l-Arg)2](NO3)2 · 3H2O} n (2) (Arg = arginine) were prepared by reaction of Cu(NO3)2 · 3H2O and L-arginine in acetone and aqueous solution, respectively. X-ray analysis reveals 1 crystallizes in a monoclinic system, P21 with a = 10.3857(15), b = 16.885(3), c = 15.9586(19) Å, β = 15.9586(19)°, Z = 4, V = 2654.2(6) Å3. The copper(II) centers lie in a distorted N2O3 square-pyramidal environment. While 1 adopts a mononuclear structure, and the axial position occupied by a nitrate with Cu1–O9 = 2.535 Å and Cu2–O20 = 2.581 Å, 2 features a 1-D infinite chain structure. In 1, adjacent monomeric units connect with each other to give a 2-D layer structure of (4, 4) nets through hydrogen bonds between the guanidinium and carboxylic groups of arginine, and 2-D layers further assemble to a 3-D supermolecular structure via a series of inter-layer hydrogen bonds. 相似文献

To obtain details of poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) photodegradation behavior, PLLA films were irradiated by UV-C light (λ = 253.7 nm) to directly excite carbonyl groups, resulting in a rapid decrease in the molecular weight accompanying a gradual decrease in the optical purity of monomeric units in the chains. The racemization during the photodegradation was first detected as a result of the chain scission by irradiation. From quantitative analyses of the molecular weight and the monomeric unit composition, it was found that the chain scission ratio and the d-lactate unit ratio increased in parallel during the irradiation, suggesting that approximately one d-lactate unit formed for every chain scission. From a mechanistic consideration, the racemization equilibrium was proposed to occur at both carboxyl and hydroxyl chain ends. 相似文献

New amphiphilic networks have been synthesized by free-radical co-polymerization of hydrophobic methacryloyl-capped polyisobutylenes (MA-PIB-MA) with hydrophilic 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate. Two MA-PIB-MAs have been prepared with Mn = 4920 and 10 200, and two series of networks were prepared with MA-PIB-MA contents between 48 and 71.5%. Variation of the molecular weight of MA-PIB-MA and its concentration in the network allows for a wide range of mechanical properties and swellability in hydrophilic and hydrophobic solvents. Differential scanning calorimetry shows the existence of two glass transitions in these networks and thus indicates a phase-separated domain structure. Tensile strengths and elongations were dependent on MA-PIB-MA contents varying from 57.7 to 39.8 kg/cm2 and from 168 to 200%, respectively, with increasing MA-PIB-MA content. Solvent swelling of the networks ranged from 170 to 20% in water and from 40 to 170% in n-heptane with increasing MA-PIB-MA contents. 相似文献

The surface of a poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) film was modified with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) by plasma-initiated polymerization to increase the interaction between PLLA and cellulose single nanofibres (CSNF). The surface wettability of the PAA grafted PLLA film (PLLA-PAA film) was investigated by contact angle measurements. Modification of the PLLA film with PAA decreased the contact angle from 61° to 50°. The surface morphologies of the PLLA film, PLLA-PAA film and CSNF-coated PLLA-PAA film were studied by atomic force microscopy. The interaction between the CSNF and PLLA layers was strengthened by incorporation of a PAA layer onto the PLLA films and it is higher than 2N as proved by a peeling test. This is probably because the carboxyl groups of PAA form hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups of CSNF. 相似文献
