Four new triterpene glycosides from Thalictrum squarrosum

Four new triterpene glycosides were isolated from the dried aerial parts of Thalictrum squarrosum (Ranunculaceae). They were designated as squarroside I, being a cycloartane-type glycoside, and squarrosides II, III and IV, being oleanene-type glycosides. Their structures were established by using two dimensional (2D) NMR techniques.

In-tip nanoreactors for cancer cells proteome profiling

Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteome profiling is essential for molecular diagnostics in modern biomedical study. To date, sample preparation including protein extraction and proteolysis is still very challenging and lack of efficiency. Recently tips-based sample preparation protocols exhibit strong potentials to achieve the goal of “a proteome in an hour”. However, in-tip proteolysis is still rarely reported and far from ideal for dealing with complex bio-samples. In this work, nanoreactors encapsulated micropipette tips were demonstrated as high performance devices for fast (∼minutes) and multiplexing proteolysis to assist the profiling of cancer cells proteome. Nanoporous silica materials with controlled pore size and surface chemistry were prepared as nanoreactors and encapsulated in micropipette tips for efficient in situ proteolysis. The as-constructed device showed desirable sensitivity (LOD of 0.204 ± 0.008 ng/μL and LOQ of 0.937 ± 0.055 ng/μL), selectivity, stability (two months under −20 °C), reusability (at least 10 times), and little memory effect in MS based bottom-up proteomic analysis. It was used for comprehensive protein mapping from cancer cell lines. The number of identified proteins was increased by 18%, 22%, 52%, and 52% dealing with HepG2, F56, MCF7, and HCCLM3 cancer cells, compared to traditional in-solution proteolysis based bottom-up proteomic strategy. With the enhanced performance, our work built a novel, efficient and miniaturized platform for facile proteomic sample preparation, which is promising for advanced biomarkers discovery in biomedical study.     

Accurate Determination of Tributyltin in Tannery Wastewater by a New Procedure Using ID-HPLC–ICP-MS Combined with Low Temperature Extraction

Isotope dilution mass spectrometry is recognized as a primary method to obtain traceable values in the measurement of substances including trace elements and their organometallic compounds. This paper reports a novel method where isotope dilution high performance liquid chromatography inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ID-HPLC–ICP-MS) was combined with low temperature extraction for the determination of tributyltin (TBT) in tannery wastewater from the leather industry. It has been found that the liquid–liquid extraction at very low temperature is in the favor of extraction of organotin, as the enrichment factor for low temperature (?80 °C) extraction was about 1.3 times higher than for extraction at room temperature (20 °C). The method detection limit of TBT, obtained from the proposed ID-HPLC–ICP-MS procedure after extraction with a sample volume of 7.5 by 2.5 mL of organic phase, was found to be 0.13 ng g^?1. When TBT was determined in a range of 10–1000 ng g^?1 in tannery wastewater samples, the analyte recoveries were in the range 90.1–107.2% with relative standard deviations of between 2.0 and 7.2%. Finally, the new method of ID-HPLC–ICP-MS combined with low temperature extraction was applied to the determination of TBT in actual tannery wastewater. The TBT contents from three different tanning procedures (chrome tanning, vegetable tanning and aldehyde tanning), expressed as the mean ± the expanded uncertainty (k = 2) were 378.65 ± 20.38, 110.04 ± 5.96 and 690.17 ± 35.31 ng g^?1, respectively.     

Cucurbit[<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>]uril-based host–guest-metal ion chemistry: an emerging branch in cucurbit[<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>]uril chemistry

The unique pumpkin-shape macrocyclic structure with inherent cavities renders cucurbituril (CB) a type of versatile supramolecular container. On account of their good biocompatibility and low toxicity, the applications of CB to encapsulate drug molecules provide promising candidates and the pharmacological activities have been investigated currently. How to control over the uptake and release of the guest at will is significant for practical applications of drug delivery. The noncovalent nature of supramolecular interactions offers variety of options to control the release of guest molecules from CB under external stimuli, including pH, temperature, metal cations, competing guests, light, redox and so on. Moreover, CB containers are capable of assembling into higher ordered supramolecular structures such as polymers, nanoparticles, hydrogels, and colloids, which greatly enrich the scope of CB-type inclusion materials. Those results provide useful principles and guidelines for controlled release from supramolecular containers.     

Four Mixed 3d-4f 12-Metallacrown-4 Complexes: Syntheses,Structures and Magnetic Properties

The incorporation of Ln^III ions into the 12-metallacrown-4 topology affords the formation of four mixed 3d-4f pentanuclear complexes of compositions [NH(C₂H₅)₃]{[Ln(OAc)₄] [12-MC _Mn ^III _(N)shi-4]}·xH₂O (Ln = Sm (1), Gd (2), Tb (3), Dy (4); x = 0.5 for 1 and 3, x = 0.25 for 2, x = 0 for 4; H₃shi = salicylhydroxamic acid). Compounds 1–4 were obtained from the reactions of H₃shi with Mn(CH₃COO)₂·4H₂O and Ln(NO₃)₃·6H₂O, in the presence of N(C₂H₅)₃. They all contain a crown-like [Mn₄Ln(μ-NO)₄]¹¹⁺ core with four Mn^III atoms being at the rim of the crown and an Ln^III ion occupying the dome of the crown. The peripheral ligation about the core is provided by four η¹:η¹:µ acetate groups. The identity of the Ln^III ions slightly affects the 12-metallacrown-4 frameworks, as demonstrated by the gradual decrease of the distances between the Ln^III ions and the centres of the Mn₄ planes (1.85 Å for 1, 1.81 Å for 2, 1.80 Å for 3, and 1.77 Å for 4). Variable-temperature dc magnetic susceptibility studies were carried out on polycrystalline samples of 1–4. Antiferromagnetic interactions are determined for complexes 1–4.     

Synthesis,crystal structures and catalytic epoxidation properties of dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes with hydrazone ligands

A series of dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes with similar hydrazone ligands have been prepared, specifically [MoO₂L¹(MeOH)] (1), [MoO₂L²(MeOH)] (2) and [MoO₂L³(MeOH)] (3), where L¹, L² and L³ are the dianionic forms of 2-chloro-N′-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)benzohydrazide, 2-chloro-N′-(2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzylidene)benzohydrazide and N′-(3-bromo-5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-2-chlorobenzohydrazide, respectively. The complexes were characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods and also by single-crystal X-ray determination. The hydrazone ligands coordinate to the Mo atoms through their phenolate O, imine N and enolic O atoms. The Mo atoms are six-coordinated in octahedral geometries. The complexes show high catalytic activities and selectivities in the epoxidation of cyclohexene with tert-butylhydroperoxide as primary oxidant.
