Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel benzothiazole-2-thiol derivatives as potential anticancer agents

A series of novel benzothiazole-2-thiol derivatives were synthesized and their structures determined by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and HRMS (ESI). The effects of all compounds on a panel of different types of human cancer cell lines were investigated. Among them, pyridinyl-2-amine linked benzothiazole-2-thiol compounds 7d, 7e, 7f and 7i exhibited potent and broad-spectrum inhibitory activities. Compound 7e displayed the most potent anticancer activity on SKRB-3 (IC(50) = 1.2 nM), SW620 (IC(50) = 4.3 nM), A549 (IC(50) = 44 nM) and HepG2 (IC(50) = 48 nM) and was found to induce apoptosis in HepG2 cancer cells.     

丝网印刷法制备高催化活性对电极

对电极在染料敏化太阳能电池（DSCs）中主要起催化氧化还原反应及收集电荷的作用,铂对电极常用的制备方法为磁控溅射法,但其成本较高,制备条件苛刻. 本文通过引入低成本的表面活性剂Span-85,所制得的铂对电极的附着力、透光率和均匀性显著改善,实现了面积可控,与两步浸泡法和旋涂热解法制备的对电极在DSCs中的光电转换效率分别为7.30%,6.96%和7.03%. 紫外-可见吸收光谱、扫描电镜和附着力测试等结果表明,（1）添加表面活性剂有利于增加附着力及改善透光率和均匀性;（2）使用该法制备的Pt/FTO对电极的透光率与两步浸泡法制作的相同,且铂粒子分布更加均匀. 电化学阻抗图谱、塔菲尔极化曲线和循环伏安曲线结果表明,丝网印刷方法制备的Pt/FTO对电极具有更加优异的催化性能,且该法更有利于降低其生产成本和大规模生产.     

基于石墨烯修饰电极的电化学生物传感

石墨烯是一种具有单原子厚度的二维碳纳米材料,具有大的比表面积、高的导电性和室温电子迁移率,以及优异的机械力学性能.石墨烯还具有电化学窗口宽,电化学稳定性好,电荷传递电阻小,电催化活性高和电子转移速率快等电化学特性.化学修饰石墨烯,特别是氧化石墨烯(GO)和还原氧化石墨烯(rGO),可以被宏量、廉价地制备出来.它们具有可加工性能,可以被组装、加工或复合成具有可控组成和微结构的宏观电极材料.因此,石墨烯及其化学修饰衍生物是用于电化学生物传感的独特而诱人的电极材料.例如,GO是一种化学修饰石墨烯,也是石墨烯的重要前驱体;其边缘具有大量的羧基可用于共价固定酶,从而能实现酶电极的生物检测.在GO上的不可逆蛋白吸附也可以促进蛋白质的直接电子转移以提高其电化学检测性能.但是,GO大量的含氧官能团破坏了石墨烯本征的共轭结构,降低了其电学性能并限制了其实际应用.GO可以通过化学、电化学、热还原等技术转化成rGO,从而能部分修复其共轭结构,提高其导电性与传感性能.另一方面,石墨烯是一种零带隙材料;原子掺杂可以调控其能带结构,提高其电催化性能.石墨烯材料也常常需要通过与其它功能材料的复合进一步改善其可分散与可加工性能,提高其电催化活性和电化学选择性.本文综述了本征石墨烯(包括GO,rGO和掺杂石墨烯)以及石墨烯与生物分子、高分子、离子液体、金属或金属氧化物纳米粒子等复合材料修饰电极在检测各种生物分子方面的研究进展,并对该研究领域进行了展望.     

Preparation and Photocatalytic Activity of Ce,H3PW12O40 co-doped TiO2 Hollow Fibers

A series of Ce, H3PW12O40 co-doped TiO2 hollow fibers photocatalysts have been prepared by sol-gel method using ammonium ceric nitrate, H3PW12O40 and tetrabutyltitanate as precursors and cotton fibers as template, followed by calcination at 500 ℃ in N2 atmosphere for 2 h. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption-desorption mea- surements, and UV-Vis spectroscopy are employed to characterize the morphology, crystal structure, surface structure, and optical absorption properties of the samples. The photo- catalytic performance of the samples has been studied by photodegradation phenol in water under UV and visible light irradiation. The results show that the TiO2 fiber materials have hollow structures, and the co-doped TiO2 hollow fibers exhibit higher photocatalytic activities for the degradation of phenol than un-doped, single-doped TiO2 hollow fibers under UV and visible light. In addition, the recyclability of co-doped TiO2 fibers is also confirmed that the TiO2 fiber retains ca. 90% of its activity after being used four times. It is shown that the co-doped TiO2 fibers can be activated by visible light and may be potentially applied to the treatment of water contaminated by organic pollutants. The synergistic effect of Ce and H3PW12O40 co-doping plays an important role in improving the photocatalytic activity.

聚阳离子糖缀物氢键诱导TPPS手性聚集

利用原子转移自由基聚合(ATRP)方法制备了亲水性嵌段聚合物聚乙二醇-b-聚甲基丙烯酸N,N-二甲氨基乙酯(PEG-b-PDMAEMA),并通过季铵化反应,得到侧链接枝不同单糖分子(葡萄糖、半乳糖、甘露糖)的聚阳离子糖缀物PEG-b-P(DMAEMA-co-DMAEMA-Sac)(Monosaccharide).研究了该聚合物与5,10,15,20-四(对磺酸基苯基)-卟啉(TPPS)在水溶液中的复合自组装行为.研究结果表明,TPPS在该组装体中以J-聚集体形式存在且显示超分子手性特征.手性信号的产生是聚合物侧链糖单元C(4)和C(5)上的羟基与TPPS通过非共价键——氢键相互作用的结果,因此手性信号方向应与糖单元构型有关.通过对比单糖构型发现,具有(4S,5R)构型的糖单元可诱导TPPS产生424 nm正Cotton效应和490 nm负Cotton效应的聚集体,具有(4R,5R)构型的糖单元可诱导TPPS产生424 nm负Cotton效应和490 nm正Cotton效应的聚集体.     

全氟和多氟化合物环境问题研究

全氟和多氟化合物（PFASs）是一类具有重要应用价值的含氟有机化合物,许多全氟和多氟化合物难以光解、水解和被生物降解,因此具有环境持久性,并可沿食物链累积放大。2009年5月9日,全氟辛烷磺酸（PFOS）及其盐和全氟辛烷磺酰氟被正式列入持久性有机污染物（POPs）名单,由此全氟和多氟化合物成为近年最受关注的新型污染物,其环境问题研究进入到了新的广度和深度。本文将就其分析方法、环境存在、生物累积放大效应、人体暴露和健康效应、新型全氟和多氟化合物等方面的研究,特别是2009年PFOS等被纳入POPs公约以来取得的研究新进展,进行较为全面的综述,并在此基础上对有关发展趋势进行展望。

One‐Step Hydrothermal Synthesis of Nitrogen‐Doped Carbon Nanotubes as an Efficient Electrocatalyst for Oxygen Reduction Reactions

A high amount of heteroatom doping in carbon, although favorable for enhanced density of catalytically active sites, may lead to substantially decreased electroconductivity, which is necessary for the electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction. Herein, a relatively low amount of nitrogen was successfully doped into carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by a hydrothermal approach in one step, and the synthesized nitrogen‐doped CNT (CNT‐N) materials retained most of the original, excellent characteristics, such as the graphitic structure, tubular morphology, and high surface area, of CNTs. The resultant CNT‐N materials, although containing a relatively low amount of nitrogen doping, exhibited high electrocatalytic ORR activity, comparable to that of 20 wt % Pt/C; long durability; and, more importantly, largely inhibited methanol crossover effect.
