无溶剂条件下N-磺酸琥珀酰亚胺催化乙酰化反应(英文)

A small amount of succinimide-N-sulfonic acid efficiently catalyzed the acetylation of a variety alcohols, phenols, thiols, amines and aldehydes with acetic anhydride at room temperature under solvent free conditions. This catalyst has the advantages of excellent yields and short reaction times and the reaction can be carried out on a large scale, which makes it potentially useful for industrial applications.     

Ciprofloxacin Loaded Alginate/Chitosan and Solid Lipid Nanoparticles,Preparation, and Characterization

The aim of the present study was to develop controlled drug delivery systems based on nanotechnology. Two different nanocarriers were selected, chitosan-alginate nanoparticles as hydrophilic and solid lipid nanoparticles as lipophilic carriers. Nanoparticles were prepared and characterized by evaluating particle size, zeta potential, SEM pictures, DSC thermograms, percentage of drug loading efficiency, and drug release profile. The particle size of SLNs and Chi/Alg nanoparticles was 291 ± 5 and 520 ± 16. Drug loading efficiency of Chi/Alg and SLN particles were 68.98 ± 5.5% and 88 ± 4.5%. The drug release was sustained with chitosan-alginate system for about 45 hours whereas for SLNs >98% of the drug was released in 2 hours. Release profile did not change significantly after freeze drying of particles using cryoprotector. Results suggest that under in vitro condition chitosan/alginate systems can act as promising carriers for ciprofloxacin and may be used as an alternative system in sustained delivery of ciprofloxacin.     

Zn/MCM-41-catalyzed unsymmetrical Hantzsch reaction and the evaluation of optical properties and anti-cancer activities of the polyhydroquinoline products

The three-component Hantzsch condensation of various aryl aldehydes, dimedone, and methyl 3-aminocrotonate was investigated in the presence of MCM-41-supported ZnNO3. The polyhydroquinoline products which were obtained under mild conditions and very easy workup were evaluated for anti-cancer activities against MCF-7, SK-BR-3, and HT-29 of breast and colon cancer cells. The fluorescence emission of some products was also studied and their optical parameters were reported.     

The influence of heat radiation on mixed convection boundary layer flow of a viscoelastic fluid over a circular cylinder with constant surface temperature

The influence of mixed convection boundary layer flow of a viscoelastic fluid over an isothermal horizontal circular cylinder has been analyzed. The boundary layer equations governing the problem are reduced to dimensionless nonlinear partial differential equations and then solved numerically using Keller-box method. Skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are emphasized specifically. These quantities are displayed against curvature parameter. Effects of mixed convection parameter and radiation-conduction parameter on skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are illustrated through graphs and table. The boundary layer separation points along the surface of cylinder are also calculated with/without radiation, and a comparison is shown. The presence of radiation helps to reduce the skin friction coefficient in opposing flow case and enhances it for assisting flow case. The increase in value of radiation-conduction parameter helps increase the value of skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number for viscoelastic fluids. The boundary layer separation delays due to thermal radiation.     

Green one-pot multicomponent synthesis of pyrrolidinones using planetary ball milling process under solvent-free conditions

This paper presents a novel and efficient protocol for the synthesis of pyrrolidinones using catalytic loading of 1,1'-butylenebis(3-sulfo-3H-imidazol-1-ium) hydrogen sulfate as a recyclable Brönsted acid ionic liquid through ball milling process at room temperature under solvent-free conditions. The developed method provides good to excellent yields of various pyrrolidinones in environmentally friendly conditions. Furthermore, this efficient protocol displays a combination of the synthetic advantage of one-pot multicomponent reaction with ecological benefits and convenience of a mechanochemical procedure.

Alignment of carbon nanotubes in bulk epoxy matrix using a magnetic-assisted method: Solenoid magnetic field

Alignment of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in a bulk epoxy matrix was studied using a magnetic-assisted method. In this study, the applicability of solenoid magnetic field was compared to that of static magnetic field, which has recently been published. It has been found that solenoid magnetic field is able to provide better alignment of MWCNTs due to the uniform magnetic field along the axis of solenoid. Remarkable improvements were achieved in the mechanical properties of aligned MWCNT-reinforced epoxy composites. Alignment of MWCNTs was clearly observed in all regions of the composites by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy.     

Incorporation of delivery times in stereotactic radiosurgery treatment optimization

Although the use of mathematical optimization techniques can greatly improve the quality of treatment plans in various radiation therapy treatment settings, one complication is the potentially clinically unrealistic nature of optimized treatments. The difficulty arises from two factors: (1) machine limitations that govern the minimum amount of radiation delivery time, and (2) long treatment times due to the complexity of optimized treatments. In the first scenario, if a particular configuration of the radiation delivery device is used, then it typically must deliver radiation for a minimum length of time. Incorporation of such requirements in a mathematical model generally requires additional constraints and binary variables, increasing the difficulty of the optimization. In the second scenario, mathematically optimized treatments commonly assign (small amounts of) radiation to be delivered from many configurations, drastically increasing the time needed to deliver the treatment (beam-on time). We examine these two issues within the penalty-based sector duration optimization model for Leksell Gamma Knife\(^{\textregistered }\) Perfexion\(^{\mathrm{TM}}\) (Elekta, Stockholm, Sweden) and the combined sector duration and isocentre optimization model to reduce beam-on time and to ensure that machine limitations regarding delivery times are met.
