A concise synthesis of anti-viral agent F-ddA, starting from (S)-dihydro-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2(3H)-furanone

Anti-HIV agent β-F-ddA (1) has been synthesized starting from readily available non-sugar, (S)-(+)-Dihydro-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-(3H)-furanone (4). A highly syn-stereoselective fluorination of the hydroxy lactone 2 generates the key intermediate fluorolactone 5 in a short and concise synthetic sequence. Reduction of 5 followed by bromination generates the aglycon which is glycosylated to generate F-ddA by amination and deprotection. Steric bulk of the 5-protecting group has minimal effect on the steric course of glycosylation.     

Studies on fluorescent species of spiro-indolinonaphthooxazines and their fluorescence spectra

Photophysical behavior of spiro[1,3,3-trimethylindolino-2,3′-naphtho[2,1-b]-1,4-oxazine] (SP1) and spiro[1,3,3,2′-tetramethylindolino-2,3′-naphtho[2,1-b]-1,4-oxazine] (SP2) were studied. The fluorescent species and their spectra of SP1 and SP2 in polar solvents (acetonitrile and methanol) and non-polar solvent (cyclohexane) were investigated. The fluorescence decay in polar solvents was studied by picosecond time-correlated single photon counting. In most cases, fluorescence decay obeyed triexponential decay kinetics. The major fluorescent species is an excited intermediate which has similar conformation as its precursor (¹ SP ^*) formed after the bond cleavage between spirocarbon and oxygen in oxazine ring. The effects of molecular structure and solvent polarity on fluorescence spectra and fluorescence decay lifetime were studied.     

A novel chemical route to SiO2 nanowires

A white substance was got by directly heating TiSi powder on Ti foil, under Ar+O ₂ atmosphere. ED, EDX, SEM and HRTEM studies reveal that the white substance consists of amorphous SiO ₂ nanowires of smooth surface and uniform diameter (40-90 nm). X-ray-induced luminescent emission experiment shows that two broad peaks are at 430 and 570 nm. A one-dimensional growth mechanism, on the basis of the one-dimensional thermal flow during nanowire formation, is discussed.     

聚丙烯与SBS嵌段共聚物共混时的结晶行为

用偏光显微镜,小角光散射,动态力学测量和DSC等方法研究了聚丙烯和SBS共混物的结晶行为。结果表明,SBS的混入可以降低聚丙烯的结晶程度和阻碍球晶的形成,因而有利于提高聚丙烯塑料的抗冲击性能。从DSC实验也看到共混物中的聚丙烯具有较高的结晶速率。     

Dampfdruck- und Leitfähigkeitsuntersuchungen der Ionensolvatation in Amiden

The solvating properties of formamide, N-methylformamide, dimethylformamide, N-ethylformamide and diethylformamide have been investigated by means of vapour pressure and conductivity measurements. For the salts and ions, resp. average solvation numbers have been calculated from vapour pressure data and limiting ionic conductances. The solvation numbers are used for a discussion of the influence of N-substituents on the solvating properties of the amides.

Agonist–PPARγ interactions: Molecular modeling study with docking approach

Docking simulation of 18 agonists with the ligand binding pocket (LBP) of PPARγ has been performed. The binding conformations and binding affinities of these agonists were obtained by use of the flexible docking protocol FlexX. Test compound calculations indicated that FlexX can reproduce the binding conformation of the crystal structure (root mean square deviation = 1.43 Å); moreover, the predicted binding affinities correlate well with the activities of these agonists. The interaction model and pharmacophore of PPARγ agonists were derived and the difference in biologic activities of these agonists can be well explained. The PPARγ agonists must have both polar head and the hydrophobic tail, which form hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic contacts with hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions of the LBP of PPARγ, respectively. In addition, a suitable linker is also necessary. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem 93: 405–410, 2003

Voltammetric determination of 5-hydroxydole-3-acetic acid in human gastric juice

A method for the determination of the major serotonin metabolite — 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid (5-HIAA) in human gastric juice by cyclic voltammetry was described. The measurement conditions were investigated. The potential window was chosen from +0.1 to +0.9 V, the supporting electrolyte was 0.025 M PBS solution (pH 2.0). The method allowed determination in the concentration range from 2.0 ×10⁻⁷ to 2.0 ×10 ⁻⁵ M and a detection limit of 80 nM. When samples of gastric juice were analyzed with the method, we obtained the mean content of 5-HIAA in the gastric juice. Meanwhile, interference from other ions and substances were examined. The experimental results indicate that the method for the determination of gastric juice samples is successful.
