Chemical investigation on Orthosiphon diffusus resulted in the isolation of four relatively rare, novel polychiral furanopyrans, orthodiffenes A-D (1-4) which were characterized from detailed studies of their 1D and 2D NMR spectra. The X-ray crystallographic analysis of orthodiffene A (1) was accomplished. The in vitro cytotoxic activity of orthodiffenes A-C (1-3) was tested against Jurkat and HL-60 cells using camptothecin as a positive control. Orthodiffenes A (1) and B (2) showed comparable activity to camptothecin against HL-60 and Jurkat cells, respectively. 相似文献
Densities (ρ), ultrasonic speeds (u), and excess molar volumes (VmEV_{\mathrm{m}}^{\mathrm{E}}) of binary mixtures of some aromatic ketones in acrylonitrile have been measured over the entire range of composition at
308.15 K. From these experimental results, parameters such as the isentropic compressibilities KS, interaction parameter χ12, Flory parameters, Ai coefficients, standard deviations σ(YE), and molar sound velocities Rm have been estimated. The excess functions were fitted to Redlich-Kister type polynomial equations. The experimental ultrasonic
speeds were analyzed in terms of Jacobson’s Free Length Theory (FLT), Schaaff’s Collision Factor Theory (CFT), Nomoto’s relation,
and Van Dael’s ideal mixture relation. The intermolecular Free Length Lf, and available volume Va, have been calculated from the FLT, CFT, and thermoacoustic approaches for binary systems of acetophenone and propiophenone
in acrylonitrile at 308.15 K. 相似文献
Noscapine and its derivatives are important microtubule-interfering agents shown to have potent anti-tumor activity. The binding
free energies (ΔGbind) of noscapinoids computed using linear interaction energy (LIE) method with a surface generalized Born (SGB) continuum solvation
model were in agreement with the experimental ΔGbind with average root mean square error of 0.082 kcal/mol. This LIE–SGB model guided us in designing a novel derivative of noscapine,
amino-noscapine [(S)-3-((R)-9-amino-4-methoxy-6-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro [1, 3] dioxolo[4,5-g]isoquinolin-5-yl)-6,7-dimethoxy isobenzo-furan-1(3H)-one] that has higher tubulin binding activity (predicted ΔGbind = −6.438 kcal/mol and experimental ΔGbind = −6.628 kcal/mol) than noscapine, but does not significantly change the total extent of the tubulin subunit/polymer ratio.
The modes of interaction of amino-noscapine with the binding pocket of tubulin involved three hydrogen bonds and are distinct
compared to noscapine which involved only one hydrogen bond. Also the patterns of non-bonded interactions are albeit different
between both the lignads. The ‘blind docking’ approach (docking of ligand with different binding sites of a protein and their
evaluations) as well as the reasonable accuracy of calculating ΔGbind using LIE–SGB model constitutes the first evidence that this class of compounds binds to tubulin at a site overlapping with
colchicine-binding site or close to it. Our results revealed that amino-noscapine has better anti-tumor activity than noscapine. 相似文献
Accurate parameter estimation in presence of stochastic noise is the essential part of almost all control hardware of the plants. However, the optimal design of the control hardware depends on processing power and installed memory. The proposed research investigation focuses on precise parameter estimation from compressed temporal data of error dynamics with exiguous susceptibility to the robot’s controllability. Instead of using Maximum Likelihood estimation (MLE) and Least Squares (LS) estimation in the time domain, the proposed method exploits the recursive wavelet domain’s properties to selectively store the error data coefficients negating the data related to noise. As a result, data compression is achieved. The proposed algorithm may be directly implemented on any scalable “Very Large Scale Integration” (VLSI) circuit due to the recursive implementation. For the evaluation of robustness, dynamic parameter variation is considered. The variation in scalar & vector-valued error is considered to evaluate the performance of the stochastic system. The proposed algorithm implementation is demonstrated experimentally on commercially available Omni Bundle robot.
Organotellurium compounds are proving important precursors for the generation of semiconducting materials. However, synthetic methods for their preparation involve cumbersome manipulations and require controlled experimental conditions. We wish to report a convenient method recently developed for the synthesis of this interesting class of ditellurides. The title compounds were prepared by the reaction of ditelluride anion Te22? with 2-bromopyridine (Scheme 1). The ditelluride anion was generated in situ by the reaction of tellurium metal with sodium borohydride in 2-ethoxyethanol. The compounds prepared were characterized by elemental analysis and through various spectroscopic techniques viz; IR, NMR (1H, 13C), mass spectral analysis, crystal structure of 2,2′-dipyridyl ditelluride is reported.
Synthesis and Characterization of Some Bromosubstituted Symmetrical Dipyridyl Ditellurides and X-Ray Structure of 2,2′-Dipyridyl Ditelluride
Radical chain reactions are commonly initiated through the thermal or photochemical activation of purpose‐built initiators, through photochemical activation of substrates, or through well‐designed redox processes. Where radicals come from in the absence of these initiation strategies is much less obvious and are often assumed to derive from unknown impurities. In this situation, molecule‐induced radical formation (MIRF) reactions should be considered as well‐defined alternative initiation modes. In the most general definition of MIRF reactions, two closed‐shell molecules react to give a radical pair or biradical. The exact nature of this transformation depends on the σ‐ or π‐bonds involved in the MIRF process, and this Minireview specifically focuses on reactions that transform two σ‐bonds into two radicals and a closed‐shell product molecule. 相似文献
Adsorption of Fe(ClO4)3(H2O)6 onto chromatographic grade silica gel in the presence of alcohol (to be used for esterification) produces a supported reagent, Fe(ClO4)3(ROH)6/SiO2. This reagent, has been found effective for the rapid and high yield of esters, on grinding in the presence of carboxylic acids using pestle and mortar in the solid state. 相似文献
