An efficient synthetic method for bis(indol-3-yl)alkane derivatives has been developed.In the presence of 5 mol%of pyridinium tribromide(PTB),the condensation of indoles and aldehydes proceeded smoothly under mild conditions,giving rise to the corresponding bis(indol-3-yl)alkanes in good to excellent yields.     

Probing cytotoxicity of CdSe and CdSe/CdS quantum dots

Toxicities of CdSe and CdSe/CdS quantum dots(QDs) synthesized by ultrasound-assisted methods were investigated in vitro and in vivo.Five human cell lines were used to assess the cytotoxicity of as-prepared CdSe and CdSe/CdS by assays of MTT viability,red blood cell hemolysis,flow cytometry,and fluorescence imaging.The results show that these QDs may be cytotoxic by their influence in S and G2 phases in cell cycles.The cytotoxicity of QDs depends on both the physicochemical properties and related to target cells.     

Crystal structure of β-cyclodextrin-4-chlorobenzoic acid complex:Unusual C-Cl…π interaction between 4-chlorobenzoic acids in β-cyclodextrin dimer

The inclusion complex ofβ-cyclodextrin（β-CD） with 4-chlorobenzoic acid was synthesized and its crystal structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction under cryogenic condition.The complex contains twoβ-CDs,two 4-chlorobenzoic acids and twenty-nine water molecules in the asymmetric unit,and can be formulated as 2(C₄₂H₇₀O₃₅)·2（C₇H₅O₂Cl）·29（H₂O）.In the crystal lattice,twoβ-CDs form a face-to-face dimer jointed together through hydrogen bonding between the secondary hydroxyl groups ofβ-CDs.Two 4-chlorobenzoic acid molecules which contact by C-Cl…πinteractions are included in theβ-CD dimer cavity.Theβ-CD dimers are arranged in brickwork-like pattern along the crystallographic a-axis.The effect of guest molecule length on the inclusion geometry was discussed by comparative study of someβ-CD complexes containing similar guests.     

Extraction and Identification of Ginsenoside Re and Its Effects and Mechanism of Protecting Acute Renal Ischemia-reperfusion Injury in Rats

This paper studies the extraction and identification of ginsenoside Re from ginseng fruits and investigates the effect and mechanism of ginsenoside Re of protecting acute renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.Having been smashed,the ginseng fruits were ultrasonically extracted twice with 95% ethanol for 30min each.Having been concentrated,the solution was dissolved with distilled water and separated by two-column chromatography,of which one was packed with macroporous resin D4020,and the other was packe...

Double perovskite oxides Sr_2Mg_(1-x)Fe_xMoO(6-δ) for catalytic oxidation of methane

The double perovskite oxides Sr2Mg1-xF exMoO6-δ were investigated as catalysts for the methane oxidation.The structural properties of catalysts were characterized in detail by X-ray diffraction,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy.The catalytic property was strongly influenced by the Fe substitution.The relation between catalytic performance and the degree of Fe substitution was examined with regard to the structure and surface characteristics of the mixed oxides.The Fe-containing catalysts exhibited higher activity attributable to the possible(Fe2+,Mo6+) and (Fe3+,Mo5+)valency pairs,and the highest activity was observed for Sr2Mg0.2Fe0.8MoO6-δ.The enhancement of the catalytic activity may be correlated with the Fe-relating surface lattice oxygen species and was discussed in view of the presence of oxygen vacancies.     

Kinetic study of oxidative coupling of methane over Mn and/or W promoted Na_2SO_4/SiO_2 catalysts

A comprehensive kinetic model for oxidative coupling of methane(OCM)over Mn and/or W promoted Na2SO4/SiO2 catalysts was developed based on a micro-catalytic reactor data.The methane conversion and ethylene,ethane,carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide selectivities were obtained in a wide operating condition range of 750 - 825-C,CH4/O2=2.5 - 10 and contact time=267 - 472 kg s m-3.Reaction networks of six models with different rate equation types were compared together.The kinetic rate parameters of each reaction network were estimated using linear regression or genetic algorithm optimization method(GA).A reaction network suggested by Stansch et al.for OCM was found to be the best one and was further used in this work.The suggested model could predict the experimental results of OCM reaction within a deviation range of ± 20%.

High performance liquid chromatography with immobilized Ru(bpy)_3~(2+)-KMnO_4 chemiluminescence detection and its application in metabolism of repaglinide in pig liver microsomes

A novel high performance liquid chromatography-chemiluminescence（HPLC-CL） method for investigation of in vitro metabolism of repaglinide in pig liver microsomes with microdialysis sampling technique was developed.The chromatographic separation was performed on a Hypersil BDS-C18 column with an isocratic mobile phase consisting of methanol and 0.01 mol/L KH₂PO₄（pH 3.0）（volume ratio 75:25） at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min.The detection was based on the chemiluminescence reaction of repaglinide with acidic potassium permanganate（KMnO₄） and tris（2,2’-bipyridyl）ruthenium（Ⅲ）(Ru（bpy）₃³⁺),which was immobilized on the cationic ion-exchange resin for obtaining high sensitivity and reducing consumption of expensive reagent.
