Dichloromethane extracts of both the roots and the leaves of Raimondia cf. monoica showed in vitro antiplasmodial and leishmanicidal activities against Plasmodium falciparum and Leishmania panamensis, respectively. Three 6-substituted 5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-ones were isolated. (1) and (2) were identified as (6S)-(5'-oxohepten-1'E,3'E-dienyl)-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-one (1) and (6R)-(5'-oxohepten-1'Z,3'E-dienyl)-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-one (2), respectively. (-)-Arentilactone (3) was also isolated. The structure of the new compound (1) was determined by spectroscopic methods; additional spectroscopic data for (2) are reported for the first time. 相似文献
Nine widely used veterinary sulfonamide drugs were baseline separated (Rs ≥1.5) in just over 4 min using a 3 × 100 mm, 1.8 μm RX-Sil column, with 9.2 % methanol in carbon dioxide, at 110 bar and 30 °C, with direct UV detection at 260 nm using a 3 mm, 2 μL tapered flow cell. Pressure drop was only 172 bar. Optimization was difficult due to the similarity in structures. Small changes in modifier concentration, temperature and pressure, each tended to improve the resolution of some peak pairs but degraded the resolution of others. There were four critical pairs, each responding differently to changes in conditions. Optimization was performed by plotting resolution between pairs as a function of modifier concentration first, temperature second, and outlet pressure third. Retention time was then minimized by changing flow rate. The estimated limit of quantitation (LOQ, S/N >10), for direct injections, was ≈200–400 ng/g of each, inadequate for regulatory requirements. Solid phase extraction (SPE) attempted to pre-concentrate samples spiked with sulfamethazine by ≈20:1. From water, the limit of detection (LOD) was ≈2.7 ng/mL with LOQ ≈9 ng/mL using UV at 260 nm. The LOD for milk was 6.2 ng/mL, and LOQ was 20.1 ng/mL. A better pre-concentration step or a more sensitive detector such as MS–MS is required. Even with these inadequacies, SFC was shown to be a feasible, faster, “greener” alternative to HPLC for the separation of these drugs.
Summary The apparent viscosity of blood, plasma and serum, as measured in theScott Blair (frame) capillary viscometer, is found to be appreciably lower in fibrin coated capillaries than in glass capillaries. This phenomenon, which is probably associated with an enhanced sigma effect, is found in blood of man, cow, rabbit and horse.Silicone treated surfaces, though not so reliable, show a possibly significant but very much smaller reduction in apparent viscosity.Since, during life, fibrin in some form probably covers the inner lining of blood vessel walls, the phenomenon here described must constitute an important factor in aiding blood circulation.Rheol.

1,2-Diaryl ethanes bearing 1,2-stereogenic centres show interesting biological activity but their stereocontrolled synthesis has not been reported forcing a reliance of methods involving diastereomer and enantiomer separation. We have found that this class of molecules can be prepared with very high stereocontrol using lithiation–borylation methodology. The reaction of an enantioenriched benzylic lithiated carbamate with an enantioenriched benzylic secondary pinacol boronic ester gave a tertiary boronic ester with complete diastereo- and enantiocontrol. It was essential to use MgBr2/MeOH after formation of the boronate complex, both to promote the 1,2-migration and to trap any lithiated carbamate/benzylic anion that formed from fragmentation of the ate complex, anions that would otherwise racemise and re-form the boronate complex eroding both er and dr of the product. When the benzylic lithiated carbamate and benzylic secondary pinacol boronic ester were too hindered, boronate complex did not even form. In these cases, it was found that the use of the less hindered neopentyl boronic esters enabled successful homologation to take place even for the most hindered reaction partners, with high stereocontrol and without the need for additives. Protodeboronation of the product boronic esters with TBAF gave the target 1,2-diaryl ethanes bearing 1,2-stereogenic centres. The methodology was applied to the stereocontrolled synthesis of bifluranol and fluorohexestrol in just 7 and 5 steps, respectively. 相似文献
The metabolism of arachidonic acid (AA) to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) is thought to be mediated primarily by the cytochromes P450 (P450s) from the 2 family (2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 2J2). In contrast, P450s of the 4 family are primarily involved in omega oxidation of AA (4A11 and 4A22). The ability to determine enantioselective formation of the regioisomeric EETs is important in order to establish their potential biological activities and to asses which P450 isoforms are involved in their formation. It has been extremely difficult to analyze individual EET enantiomers in biological fluids because they are present in only trace amounts and they are extremely difficult to separate from each other. In addition, the deuterium-labeled internal standards that are commonly used for stable isotope dilution liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) analyses have different LC retention times when compared with the corresponding protium forms. Therefore, quantification by LC/MS-based methodology can be compromised by differential suppression of ionization of the closely eluting isomers. We report the preparation of [(13)C(20)]-EET analog internal standards and the use of a validated high-sensitivity chiral LC/electron capture atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (ECAPCI)-MS method for the trace analysis of endogenous EETs as their pentafluorobenzyl (PFB) ester derivatives. The assay was then used to show the exquisite enantioselectivity of P4502C19-, P4502D6-, P4501A1-, and P4501B1-mediated conversion of AA into EETs and to quantify the enantioselective formation of EETs produced by AA metabolism in a mouse epithelial hepatoma (Hepa) cell line. 相似文献
