Modified cotton fabrics with poly (3-(furan-2-carboamido) propionic acid) and poly (3-(furan-2-carboamido) propionic acid)/gelatin hydrogel for UV protection,antibacterial and electrical properties

This research aimed to prepare smart cotton fabrics with multi functions for antibacterial activity, UV protection and electrical conductivity via in situ coating with conductive polymer and conductive hydrogel. Therefore, 3-(furan-2-carboamido) propionic acid was synthesized followed by polymerization using ceric ammonium nitrate. In addition, cotton fabrics coated with 3-(furan-2-carboamido) propionic acid via in situ polymerization and by the hydrogel that based on poly (3-(furan-2-carboamido) propionic acid) and gelatin which have been performed via in situ gelation process. The chemical structure and morphology of the 3-(furan-2-carboamido) propionic acid (monomer) and the synthesized polymer (PFu) were investigated by H¹NMR, IR, SEM, TGA and DSC. Where, the treated fabrics (PFu-T and PFu-G-T) are characterized by SEM, FTIR and contact angle. Furthermore, the AC electrical conductivity and dielectric properties of PFu, PFu-T, PFu-G-T and blank were investigated over the frequency range of 20 Hz–10 MHz at room temperature using impedance spectroscopy where the electric conductivity values are 1.74 × 10^-5, 7.5 × 10^-8, 4 × 10^-7, 8.24 × 10^-11 (S·cm)^-1, respectively. In addition, the anti-bacterial activity of PFu-T, PFu-G-T and blank was assessed versus gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria where, PFu-G-T shows activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Moreover, PFu-T, PFu-G-T showed high UV protection especially for PFu-G-T.     

Dipotassium Hydrogen Phosphate Powder Catalyzed Stereoselective O-Vinylation of 1-(2-Hydroxy-1-naphthyl)-1-ethanone

Protonation of the highly reactive 1:1 intermediates, produced in the reaction between triphenylphosphine and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates, by 1-(2-hydroxy-1-naphtyl)-1-ethanone leads to vinyltriphenylphosphonium salts, which undergo a Michael addition reaction with a conjugate base to produce corresponding stabilized phosphorus ylides. Dipotassium hydrogen phosphate powder was found to catalyze the conversion of stabilized phosphorus ylides to dialkyl (E, Z)-2-(1-acetyl-2-naphthyl)-2-butenedioates under thermal and microwave conditions in a solventless system.     

Synthesis of Derivatives of 2-(Indol-1-yl)propionic Acids

We have developed a method for synthesis of N-substituted derivatives of indole from N-phenylalanine, including Fischer cyclization of the corresponding arylalkylhydrazones. The starting hydrazines were obtained by reduction of the corresponding nitrosamines. We have established that the optimum reduction method is to use metallic zinc in a methanol-hydrochloric acid system at low temperatures.     

Regioselective preparation of (R)-2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)propionic acid with a fungal peroxygenase

The extracellular heme-thiolate peroxygenase of Agrocybe aegerita catalyzed the H₂O₂-dependent hydroxylation of 2-phenoxypropionic acid (POPA) to give the herbicide precursor 2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)propionic acid (HPOPA). The reaction proceeded regioselectively with an isomeric purity near 98%, and yielded the desired R-isomer of HPOPA with an enantiomeric excess of 60%. ¹⁸O-labeling experiments showed that the phenolic hydroxyl in HPOPA originated from H₂O₂, which establishes that the reaction is mechanistically a peroxygenation. Our results raise the possibility that fungal peroxygenases may be useful for a variety of organic oxidations.

Metabolic study of 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone to the enantiomers of 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol in vitro in human bronchial epithelial cells using chiral capillary electrophoresis

4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (NNAL) with one chiral center at the carbinol is a major metabolite of 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK). As tobacco specific N-nitrosamines (TSNAs), NNK and NNAL are the most pulmonary carcinogens in tobacco products and smoke. In this paper, a chiral CE method modified with highly sulfated β-cyclodextrin (S-β-CD) was developed to investigate the stereoselective formation of NNAL from NNK in vitro in normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cells. Combined with solid phase extraction (SPE) of the cell samples, NNK and NNAL enantiomers were baseline separated under the proposed CE conditions, with satisfactory recoveries (72.5-113% for NNK and (±)-NNAL) and low limits of detection (LOD, 2.5-3 μg/mL for NNK and (±)-NNAL). The cytotoxicity of NNK in NHBE cells was investigated through the cell counting kit (CCK) assay and proved to be highly dependent on the NNK's concentration. The metabolic results obtained from CE analysis demonstrated that NNK was preferentially metabolized to (+)-NNAL through carbonyl reduction. Meanwhile, the ratio of [(+)-NNAL]/[(-)-NNAL] was independent of NHBE cells' incubation time with NNK, but could be changed according to the original incubation concentration of NNK. This chiral CE method could be useful for the study on toxicology and metabolic transformations of related TSNAs.     

Cylindrospermopsin determination using 2-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) as the internal standard

Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) was determined by liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS) using 2-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) as the internal standard. In the selected ion monitoring of LC/ESI-MS, m/z 414 for CYN and 237 for HEPES were monitored using the negative mode; the retention times of CYN and HEPES were 12.41 and 14.21 min, respectively. CYN was determined from peak area ratios of m/z 414/237. By the treatment of an anion exchange cartridge using a buffer at pH 10.5, CYN was isolated and condensed. No interfering peak was observed. Linearity of this method was observed at the range of 0.10-31.12 ng. Total coefficients of variation were 5.1 and 2.9% at 104 and 1038 μg CYN L⁻¹. The quantitative limit at a signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of 10 was 0.16 ng.CYN concentration in natural waters is low. CYN in waters should be condensed for determination. This method including the treatment for isolation and condensation of CYN is useful for determination of CYN in environmental and/or drinking waters.

1-(2-Quinoxalyl)-, 1-[3,5-Di(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-, 1-(2-Carboxyphenyl)-, and 1-Ethoxycarbonyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles

The corresponding 1-(2-quinoxalyl)-, 1-[3,5-di(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-, and 1-ethoxycarbonyl-3-methyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles have been obtained from reactions of 2-acetyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione, its 5,5-dimethyl and 5-(2-furyl) derivatives, with 2-hydrazinoquinoxaline, 3,5-di(trifluoromethyl)phenylhydrazine, and ethoxycarbonylhydrazine. On interaction with ethoxycarbonylhydrazine the intermediate 2-[1-(-ethoxycarbonyl)hydrazino]ethylidene-1,3-cyclohexanediones were also isolated. From the potassium salt of 2-formyldimedone and 2-carboxyphenylhydrazine hydrochloride, 2-(2-carboxyphenyl)hydrazinomethylene-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione was obtained, the cyclization of which in ethanol in the presence of HCl led to 1-(2-carboxyphenyl)- and 1-(2-ethoxycarbonylphenyl)-6,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazole.     

Iodine(III)-mediated bicyclic diazenium salt formation

The hypervalent iodine(III) reagent PhI(OTf)₂ has been shown to be an effective oxidant for the conversion of linear aryl-hydrazones bearing a pendant alkene into bicyclic diazenium salts. This oxidative cyclization presumably occurs by the iodine(III) mediated formation of a 1-aza-2-azoniaallene salt intermediate that undergoes a subsequent intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with the pendant alkene.

Carboxymethylcellulose-coated magnesium-layered hydroxide nanocomposite for controlled release of 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)propionic acid

Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) acts as a coating material for a magnesium-layered hydroxide-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)propionate (MLH-MPP) nanocomposite via spontaneous self-assembly. The resulting product is called a magnesium-layered hydroxide-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)propionate/carboxymethylcellulose (MLH-MPP/CMC) nanocomposite. The XRD pattern of the MLH-MPP/CMC nanocomposite showed that MPP was maintained in the interlayers of the MLH, thus confirming that CMC is only deposited on the surface of the MLH-MPP nanocomposite. These findings were also supported by FTIR spectra, SEM and TEM. TGA data showed that the thermal stability of the intercalated MPP was significantly enhanced compared to pure MPP and uncoated nanocomposite. The release of MPP from the interlayers of MLH-MPP/CMC nanocomposite showed slower release than did uncoated nanocomposite and followed pseudo–second-order kinetics. Since the herbicide, MPP was released from the synthesised nanocomposite in a sustained manner, thus, it has excellent potential to be used as a controlled-release herbicide formulation.

Use of 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid as electron donating compound in a potentiometric aflatoxin M1-immunosensor

We developed a potentiometric aflatoxin M₁-immunosensor which utilizes 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid (p-HPPA) as electron donating compound for horseradish peroxidase (HRP; EC 1.11.1.7). The assay system consists of a polypyrrole-surface-working electrode coated with a polyclonal anti-M₁ antibody (pAb-AFM₁), a Ag/AgCl reference electrode and a HRP-aflatoxin B₁ conjugate (HRP-AFB₁ conjugate).To optimize the potentiometric measuring system p-HPPA as well as related compounds serving as electron donating compounds were compared. Also the influence of different buffer systems, varying pH and substrate concentrations on signal intensity was investigated. Our results suggest that reaction conditions that favor the formation of Pummerer's type ketones lead to an increase in signal intensity rather than formation of fluorescent dye. Comparison with commercial ready-to-use HRP electron donating compounds such as 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS), o-phenylenediamine (OPD) or 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) showed that only 34%, 77% and 49% of the signal intensity of p-HPPA were reached, respectively.The optimized assay had a detection limit of 40 pg mL⁻¹ and allowed detection of 500 pg mL⁻¹ (FDA action limit) aflatoxin M₁ (AFM₁) in pasteurized milk and UHT-milk containing 0.3-3.8% fat within 10 min without any sample treatment. The working range was between 250 and 2000 pg mL⁻¹ AFM₁.     

Synthesis of 1-(alkylamino)- and 1-(dialkylamino)benzimidazoline-2-thiones

Unlike 1-aminobenzimidazoles, 1-alkylaminobenzimidazoles are thiolated on fusing with sulfur without elimination of theN-amino group, yielding the previously unknown 1-(alkylamino)benzimidazoline-2-thiones. These compounds can be more conveniently obtained on a preparative scale by thiolation of 1-alkylacetamidobenzimidazoles with subsequent hydrolytic elimination of the acetyl group. When 1-(dialkylamino)benzimidazoles are fused with sulfur, they are converted into 1-(dialkylamino)benzimidazoline-2-thiones. By alkylation of 1-(methylamino)- and 1-(diethylamino)benzimidazoline-2-thiones with methyl iodide in alkaline media the corresponding 2-(methylthio)benzimidazoles were prepared.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
