Flavonoids from the leaves of Epimedium Koreanum Nakai and their potential cytotoxic activities

Abstract

Phytochemical studies on the leaves of Epimedium koreanum Nakai have resulted in the discovery of two new flavonol glycosides, koreanoside F (1) and koreanoside G (2), along with six known flavonoids. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of HRESIMS, UV, IR, 1?D NMR and 2?D NMR data. Absolute configurations of 1 and 2 was further determined by ¹³C-NMR spectra with gate decoupling (GD). All of the compounds were evaluated for cytotoxic activities by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazoliumbromide (MTT) assay. The results indicated that compounds 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 inhibited the proliferation of A549 and NCI-292 cells with IC₅₀ values of 5.7–23.5?μM. Real-time monitoring in three kinds of lung cancer cells and a kind of human bronchial epithelial cells treated with compound 6 was also assessed.     

Photoredox/palladium-cocatalyzed enantioselective alkylation of secondary benzyl carbonates with 4-alkyl-1,4-dihydropyridines

A photoredox/palladium-cocatalyzed enantioselective alkylation of racemic secondary carbonates with 4-alkyl-1,4-dihydropyridines under visible light irradiation has been developed. The present study provides a method for the preparation of optically active diarylalkanes from racemic diarylmethyl carbonates by a dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation(DYKAT).This photoredox/palladium dual catalysis strategy expands the scope of the asymmetric Pd-catalyzed benzylic substitution reaction and serves as its potential alternative and complement.     

低压供热涂层材料制备及热性能研究

低压供热技术具有安全系数高和节能降耗等优势,因而成为石化稠油长输管线、风力发电叶片冬季防覆冰和室内供暖等领域的研究热点之一。本文制备了一系列低压供热涂层材料,研究不同碳功能填料对涂层发热速率、发热功率及最高发热温度的影响规律,并揭示石墨烯和碳纤维对提升涂层材料热性能的协同作用。其中石墨烯纳米片的还原程度对材料热性能具有重要影响,降低其表面官能团密度对提升涂层供热特性具有促进作用,但是官能团密度过低会导致石墨烯纳米片的团聚现象,引起涂层发热不均匀。加入适量碳纤维可以提高石墨烯的均匀分散性,提升发热速率。优化石墨烯纳米片和碳纤维的比例后,采用24V电压驱动时,涂层材料的发热速率达到7.1℃·s^-1,功率密度为800W·m^-2,最高发热温度为124℃。     

Tributylstibine-mediated olefination of carbonyl compounds with bromomalonic ester and with dibromomalonic ester—A possible pathway through a stibonium ylide via halophilic initiation by tertiary stibines

Tributylstibine can mediate the olefination of carbonyl compounds with bromomalonic ester and with dibromomalonic ester. An initial halophilic attack of tributylstibine on the bromine of bromomalonic or dibromomalonic ester forming an ion pair of bromotributylstibonium cation and malonic (A) or bromomalonic ester carbanion (B) , respectively, is proposed. These ion pairs react with carbonyl compounds to achieve subsequent olefination. Alternatively, 2 equiv of A collapse, with elimination of malonic ester, to form stiborane D , and the ion pair B reacts with another equivalent of tributylstibine to form stiborane D. This last undergoes a Wittig-type reaction with carbonyl compound to achieve olefination.     

Experimental review of the ϒ(1S, 2S, 3S) physics at e+e− colliders and the LHC

The three lowest-lying \mathrm{\Upsilon } states, i.e., \mathrm{\Upsilon }(1S), \mathrm{\Upsilon }(2S), and \mathrm{\Upsilon }(3S), composed of bb¯ pairs and below the BB ¯ threshold, provide a good platform for the researches of hadronic physics and physics beyond the Standard Model. They can be produced directly in e⁺e⁻ colliding experiments, such as CLEO, Babar, and Belle, with low continuum backgrounds. In these experiments, many measurements of the exclusive \mathrm{\Upsilon }(1S) and \mathrm{\Upsilon }(2S) decays into light hadrons, which shed light on the “80% rule” for the Okubo–Zweig–Iizuka suppressed decays in the bottomonium sector, were carried out. Meanwhile, many studies of the charmonium and bottomonium productions in \mathrm{\Upsilon }(1S, 2S, 3S) decays were performed, to distinguish different Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) models. Besides, exotic states and new physics were also extensively explored in \mathrm{\Upsilon }(1S, 2S, 3S) decays at CLEO, BaBar, and Belle. The \mathrm{\Upsilon }(1S, 2S, 3S) states can also be produced in pp collisions and in collisions involving heavy ions. The precision measurements of their cross sections and polarizations at the large hadron collider (LHC), especially in the CMS, ATLAS, and LHCb experiments, help to understandΥproduction mechanisms in pp collisions. The observation of the sequentialΥsuppression in heavy ion collisions at CMS, LHCb, and ALICE is of great importance for verifying the quark–gluon plasma predicted by QCD. In this article, we review the experimental results on \mathrm{\Upsilon }(1S, 2S, 3S) at e⁺e⁻ colliders and the LHC, and summarize their prospects at Belle II and the LHC.

A New Cationic Fluorescent Probe for HSO3− Based on Bisulfite Induced Aggregation Self-Assembly

In comparison with the numerous studies that have centered on developing molecular frameworks for the functionalization of fluorescent materials, less research has addressed the influence of the side chains, despite such appendages contributing significantly to the properties and applications of fluorescent materials. In this work, a new series of cationic fluorescent probes with AIE characteristics have been developed, which exhibit unique sensitivity for charge-diffusion anions, namely HSO₃⁻, via the interactions of ions and the cooperation of the controllable hydrophobicity. The impact of the alkyl chain length attached at the cationic probes suggested that the fluorescent intensity and sensitivity of the probes could be partially enhanced by adjusting their aggregation tendency through the action of the hydrophobic effect under aqueous conditions. DLS and SEM images indicated that different particle sizes and new morphologies of the probes were formed in the anion-recognition-triggered self-assembly process, which could be attributed to the composite effect of electrostatic actions, Van der Waals forces and π-π stacking.
