A new series of bis-benzimidazole derivatives were designed and synthesized.In vitro cytotoxicity evaluation showed that these compounds exhibited high activity against the selected tumor cells.Among them,compound 9 owned the best potential,its IC_(50) values being 5.95 μmol/L(mononuclear tumor cell line(U937)) and 5.58 μmol/L(cervical cancer cell(HeLa)).Fluorescence and UV-vis studies showed that compound 9 could bind into the minor groove of DNA.     

Electrochemical sensor based on f-SWCNT and carboxylic group functionalized PEDOT for the sensitive determination of bisphenol A

A simple,sensitive,and reliable method for the voltammetric determination of bisphenol A(BPA) by using carboxylic group functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes(f-SWCNT)/carboxylic-functionalized poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)(PC4) complex modified glassy carbon electrode(GCE) has been successfully developed.The electrochemical behavior of BPA at the surface of the modified electrode is investigated by electrochemical techniques.The cyclic voltammetry results show that the as-prepared electrode exhibits strong catalytic activity toward the oxidation of BPA with a well-defined anodic peak at 0.623 V in PBS(0.1 mol/L,pH 7.0).The surface morphology of the 3D network of composite film is beneficial for the adsorption of analytes.Under the optimized conditions,the oxidation peak current is proportional to BPA concentration in the range between 0.099 and 5.794 μmol/L(R~2 = 0.9989),with a limit of detection of 0.032 μmol/L(S/N = 3).The enhanced performance of the sensor can be attributed to the excellent electrocatalytic property of/-SWCNT and the extraordinary conductivity of PC4.Furthermore,the proposed modified electrode displays high stability and good reproducibility.The good result on the voltammetric determination of BPA also indicates that the asfabricated modified electrode will be a good candidate for the electrochemical determination and analysis of BPA.

A New α-Galactosidase from Thermoacidophilic Alicyclobacillus sp. A4 with Wide Acceptor Specificity for Transglycosylation

An α-galactosidase gene (gal36A4) of glycosyl hydrolase family 36 was identified in the genome of Alicyclobacillus sp. A4. It contains an ORF of 2,187 bp and encodes a polypeptide of 728 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 82.6 kDa. Deduced Gal36A4 shows the typical GH36 organization of three domains—the N-terminal β-sheets, the catalytic (β/α)₈-barrels, and the C-terminal antiparallel β-sheet. The gene product was produced in Escherichia coli and showed both hydrolysis and transglycosylation activities. The optimal pH for hydrolysis activity was 6.0, and a stable pH range of 5.0–11.0 was found. The enzyme had a temperature optimum of 60 °C. It is specific for α-1,6-glycosidic linkages and had a K _m value of 1.45 mM toward pNPGal. When using melibiose as both donor and acceptor of galactose, Gal36A4 showed the transfer ratio of 23.25 % at 96 h. With respect to acceptor specificity, all tested monosaccharides, disaccharides, and oligosaccharides except for D-xylose and L-arabinose were good acceptors for transglycosylation. Thus, Gal36A4 may find diverse applications in industrial fields, especially in the food industry.     

Ring-opening polymerisation of ɛ-caprolactone catalysed by Brønsted acids

Two new Brønsted acids [2,2′-ethylidene-bis (4,6-di-tert-butylphenol)] phosphoric acid (EDBPPOOH) and (3,3′,5,5′-tetra-tert-butylbiphenyl-2,2′-diol) phosphoric acid (TBPO-POOH) were synthesised and fully characterised by ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectra and mass spectra. The ringopening polymerisation (ROP) of ?-caprolactone (?-CL) catalysed by the two Brønsted acids proceeded at 110°C without a solvent or at ambient temperature in toluene. Experimental results indicated that the two Brønsted acids were efficient catalysts for the ROP of ?-CL with moderate number-average molar mass (Mn) and narrow polydispersity indices (PDI). The catalytic activity of TBPO-POOH is higher than EDBP-POOH in the ROP of ?-CL. After benzyl alcohol was added, it was able to accelerate the polymerisation process. The polymerisation can also occur with the addition of water with a monomer/catalyst/initiator mole ratio of 100: 1: 1. The living polymerisation was ascertained by the linear relationships of the Mn vs. monomer conversion, then it was further confirmed by a second-feed experiment of a double monomer producing double Mn. A kinetic study of the relationships between monomer concentration and time revealed a first-order dependence on monomer concentration in the polymerisation. End-group analysis of ¹H NMR spectra and electrospray-ionisation mass spectra suggests that the two Brønsted acids are capable of catalysing and initiating the ROP of ?-CL.     

Alumina nanofibers obtained via electrospinning of pseudo-boehmite sol/PVP solution

Alumina nanofibers were fabricated by calcination of the polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)/pseudo-boehmite nanocomposite precursor fibers formed by electrospinning PVP/ethanol solution of dispersed pseudo-boehmite nanoparticles with and without additive of silica. The evolution of the phase, mechanical property and morphological features of the calcined fibers were studied and the effect of adding SiO₂ on the phase transformation of alumina was discussed. Adding SiO₂ can retard the phase transformation of γ-Al₂O₃ to α-Al₂O₃ and therefore inhibit the growth of alumina grains during calcination. Upon calcining the precursor fibers with 4 wt% SiO₂ additive at 1,300 °C, continuous alumina nanofibers with diameter ranging from 300 to 800 nm were obtained. These continuous nanofibers exhibited good flexibility and could be very promising for applications in filtration and catalyst support.
