In situ construction of ligand nano-network to integrin αvβ3 for angiogenesis inhibition

Angiogenesis occurs during the process of tumor growth, invasion and metastasis, and is essential for the survival of solid tumors. As an integrin significantly overexpressed in human tumor vascular endothelial cells, α_vβ₃ is a suitable targeting site for anti-angiogenesis of tumor. We designed and prepared a self-assembling peptide (SAP) with the ability to targeting α_vβ₃ and self-assembly. SAP formed nanoparticles in solution and transformed into nanofibrous network once specifically binding to integrin α_vβ₃ on the surface of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The SAP network stably anchored on HUVECs over 24 h, which consequently resulted in high-efficient inhibition of vascularization. In vitro anti-angiogenesis experiment displayed that the inhibition rate of tube-formation reached 94.9%. In vivo anti-angiogenesis array based on chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model exhibited that the SAP had an inhibition rate up to 63.1%. These results indicated the outstanding anti-angiogenic ability of SAP, potentially for tumor therapy.

Automatic simulation of electrochemical transients by the adaptive Huber method for Volterra integral equations involving Kernel terms exp[?α(t ? τ)]erex{[β(t ? τ)]1/2} and exp[?α(t ? τ)]daw {[β(t ? τ)]1/2}

Development of fully automatic methods for the simulation of transient experiments in electroanalytical chemistry is a desirable element of the contemporary trends of laboratory automation in electrochemistry. In accord with this idea, the adaptive Huber method, elaborated by the present author, is intended to solve automatically integral equations of Volterra type, encountered in the theory of controlled-potential transients. The coefficients of the method have been recently obtained for integral transformation kernels involving terms K(t, τ) = exp[−α(t − τ)]erex{[β(t − τ)]^1/2} and K(t, τ) = exp[−α(t − τ)]daw{[β(t − τ)]^1/2} with α ≥ 0 and β ≥ 0, which are known to occur in the above integral equations. In this work the validity of the resulting method, for electrochemical simulations, is examined using representative examples of electroanalytical models involving integral equations with various special cases of such kernel terms. The performance of the method is found similar to that previously reported for integral equations involving exclusively kernels K(t, τ) = 1, K(t, τ) = (t − τ)^−1/2, and K(t, τ) = exp[−λ (t − τ)](t − τ)^−1/2 with λ > 0.

“In situ”13C NMR study of ethyl alcohol interaction with sulfuric acid

“In situ” NMR study of ethyl alcohol interaction with sulfuric acid of various concentrations confirmed that in accordance with chemical experience the main reaction product in an excess of concentrated acid is the mono-ethyl sulfate. Only traces of diethyl sulfate are formed in a large excess of 95% acid. In addition, ethyloxonium ions and protonated esters, which rapidly exchange protons with solvating water molecules, are detected as the reaction intermediates. The¹³C chemical shifts of methylene fragments in protonated esters and ethyl oxonium ions are more than 10 ppm higher than in neutral molecules. The study of reaction products at different sulfuric acid concentrations indicated that similarly to dissociation of concentrated sulfuric acid, hydrolysis of mono-ethyl sulfate requires at least two water molecules.

Hydrodeoxygenation of Anisole over Ni/α-Al2O3 Catalyst

Ni-based catalysts supported on di erent supports (α-Al₂O₃,γ-Al₂O₃, SiO2, TiO₂, and ZrO₂) were prepared by impregnation. Effects of supports on catalytic performance were tested using hydrodeoxygenation reaction (HDO) of anisole as model reaction. Ni/α-Al₂O₃ was found to be the highest active catalyst for HDO of anisole. Under the optimal conditions, the anisole conversion is 93.25% and the hydrocarbon yield is 90.47%. Catalyst characteriza-tion using H₂-TPD method demonstrates that Ni/α-Al₂O₃ catalyst possesses more amount of active metal Ni than those of other investigated catalysts, which can enhance the cat-alytic activity for hydrogenation. Furthermore, it is found that the Ni/α-Al₂O₃ catalyst has excellent repeatability, and the carbon deposited on the surface of catalyst is negligible.

Structural Dynamics of Amyloid β Peptide Binding to Acetylcholine Receptor and Virtual Screening for Effective Inhibitors

The interaction between Amyloid β (Aβ) peptide and acetylcholine receptor is the key for our understanding of how Aβ fragments block the ion channels within the synapses and thus induce Alzheimer's disease. Here, molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed for the structural dynamics of the docking complex consisting of Aβ and α7-nAChR (α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor), and the inter-molecular interactions between ligand and receptor were revealed. The results show that A\begin{document}$ \beta_{25-35} $\end{document} is bound to α7-nAChR through hydrogen bonds and complementary shape, and the A\begin{document}$ \beta_{25-35} $\end{document} fragments would easily assemble in the ion channel of \begin{document}$ \alpha $\end{document}7-nAChR, then block the ion transfer process and induce neuronal apoptosis. The simulated amide-I band of A\begin{document}$ \beta_{25-35} $\end{document} in the complex is located at 1650.5 cm\begin{document}$ ^{-1} $\end{document}, indicating the backbone of A\begin{document}$ \beta_{25-35} $\end{document} tends to present random coil conformation, which is consistent with the result obtained from cluster analysis. Currently existing drugs were used as templates for virtual screening, eight new drugs were designed and semi-flexible docking was performed for their performance. The results show that, the interactions between new drugs and \begin{document}$ \alpha $\end{document}7-nAChR are strong enough to inhibit the aggregation of A\begin{document}$ \beta_{25-35} $\end{document} fragments in the ion channel, and also be of great potential in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

High Precision Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy of 6υ3 Overtone Band of 14N2 16O near 775 nm

Transitions of the 6υ₃ overtone band of ¹⁴N₂ ¹⁶O near 775 nm have been studied by continuous-wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy. Line positions and intensities were derived from a fit of the line shape using a hard-collisional profile. The line positions determined with absolute accuracy of 5×10^-4 cm^-1 allowed us to reveal finer ro-vibrational couplings taking place after J>14 except a strong anharmonic interaction identified by the effective Hamiltonian model. The absolute line intensities have also been retrieved with an estimated accuracy of 2% for a majority of the unblended lines. A new set of ro-vibrational and dipole moment parameters were derived from the experimental values. A comparison between the line positions and intensities of the 6υ₃ band obtained in this work and those from previous studies is given.

Modeling Ar and Kr matrix effect on the ν s (Cl–H) and ν l (Cl–H) of Cl–H···NH3 by the IEF-PCM method

Ar and Kr matrix effect on the geometry and Cl–H stretching (ν _s (Cl–H)) and librational (ν _l (Cl–H)) frequencies of the hydrogen-bonded complex Cl–H···NH₃ are simulated within the framework of polarizable continuum model with integral equation formalism (IEF-PCM) at B3LYP and MP2 levels of theory with the basis set 6-311++G(2df,2pd). Within the framework of B3LYP and IEF-PCM, the simulated gas phase, Ar, and Kr matrix ν _s (Cl–H) of the complex are 2140, 1684, and 1550 cm⁻¹, respectively, which deviate from the experimental values (~2200, 1371, and 1218 cm⁻¹) by −60, 313, and 332 cm⁻¹. Within the framework of MP2 and IEF-PCM, the gas phase, Ar, and Kr matrix ν _s (Cl–H) are calculated as 2366, 2037, and 1957 cm⁻¹ by the harmonic approximation, and as 2177, 1876, and 1665 cm⁻¹ by the full-dimensional anharmonic correction. The matrix effect modeling is of greater importance than the anharmonic correction in accounting for the large experimental gas phase to Ar or Kr matrix shift of the ν _s (Cl–H) (−829 or −982 cm⁻¹). Our calculations do not support the assignment of the 733.8 and 736.9 cm⁻¹ bands to the Ar and Kr matrix ν _l (Cl–H).

At >100 MPa and T = (280 or 440) K, the uncertainties in the density measurements increased to 0.14% and 0.22%, respectively. The data are compared with the available equation of state. The excess molar volumes, , of the mixtures were calculated and plotted as a function of temperature and pressure.
