Biological evaluation of novel selenazole‐based compounds as potential thioredoxin reductase inhibitors

Recently, thioredoxin reductase as a target for treatment of tumors has attracted the attention of scientists. 1,2‐[Bis(1,2‐benzisoselenazolone‐3(2 H)‐ketone)]ethane (ethaselen, BBSKE, PCT: CN02/00412), designed and synthesized previously, is an effective thioredoxin reductase inhibitor; presently it is in phase II clinical trials, targeting gastric cancer, lung cancer and colon cancer. To seek more novel and effective anticancer drugs, we have developed many selenazole‐based compounds. Evaluation of the thioredoxin reductase inhibitory effect and investigation of the mechanism of anticancer drugs require abundant thioredoxin reductase, but since commercial thioredoxin reductase is expensive its use is often limited. Therefore, the preparation of thioredoxin reductase is necessary. Base on the above investigation, in this work we have prepared thioredoxin reductase and evaluated selenazole‐based compounds, and found that 44 compounds have high inhibitory effect on thioredoxin reductase with IC₅₀ < 10 µ m , of which 16 compounds have IC₅₀ values below 1 µ m . This is helpful in investigating and elucidating the mechanism of this kind of compound. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Cyclopalladated ferrocenylimine as an efficient catalyst for the syntheses of diarylmethane derivatives

The cyclopalladated ferrocenylimine adducts Ia , Ib , Ic were evaluated in the Suzuki cross‐coupling reaction of benzyl halides with arylboronic acids. The tricyclohexylphosphine adduct Ia exhibited highly catalytic activity for the coupling of aryl and heteroaryl boronic acids containing various functional groups with benzylic bromides and chlorides (up to 99% yield), furnishing diarylmethane derivatives with low catalyst loading (1 mol%). It is worth noting that catalyst Ia can be reused eight times without losing its catalytic activity. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

发展在XLPE电缆绝缘内外侧的电树枝

以XLPE高压电力电缆内外侧绝缘中的电树枝特性为研究对象，通过分析电树枝引发与生长的统计实验规律和采用扫描电子显微镜分析发现，由于不同结晶状态的影响，电缆绝缘内外侧的电树枝特性存在很大的差异.引发于绝缘内侧电树枝引发时间短、生长速度快、电树枝形状具有多样性；起始于绝缘外侧的电树枝不仅引发时间长、生长速度极慢，而且电树枝形状(结构)比较单一.并对这两个位置电树枝的引发和生长机理进行了探讨. 关键词： 电树枝 结晶状态 统计规律 内侧和外侧绝缘层

有机层界面对双层有机发光二极管复合效率的影响

建立了双层有机发光二极管中载流子在有机层界面复合的无序跳跃理论模型.由于有机分子材料的空间及能带结构的无序性，采用刚体模型处理有机层界面问题是不恰当的，而采用无序跳跃模型比较合理.复合效率及复合电流由载流子跳跃距离、有机层界面的有效势垒高度及该界面处的电场强度分布所决定：在双层器件ITO/α-NPD/Alq₃/Al中，当所加电压小于19.5V时，复合效率随着载流子跳跃距离的增加而增加，而大于19.5V时，复合效率随着其距离的增加而减少；复合效率随着有机层界面有效势垒高度的增加而增加； 关键词： 有机层界面 双层有机发光二极管 复合效率 有效势垒高度 无序跳跃模型

铁电-铁磁多铁性脉冲形成线特性

对"多铁性"脉冲形成线输出特性进行了研究。利用镍锌铁氧体-钛酸钡陶瓷复合多铁性材料制作了脉冲形成线。在不同的磁回路条件下得到了不同脉冲宽度的电脉冲方波,其中以高磁导率材料组合成的闭合磁回路得到了脉冲宽度约201 ns的方波输出。推算出脉冲形成线的相对介电常数接近2 000,相对磁导率大于1.4。基于有效磁导率的概念,分析了多铁性脉冲形成线几何构型对脉冲输出特性的影响。分析表明:平板状"多铁性脉冲形成线"的有效磁导率不仅取决于平板介质的磁导率,还取决于周围介质的磁导率,因而有效磁导率通常较小,其输出表现出明显的铁电性而只有"弱"的铁磁性;相比之下,同轴结构的"多铁性脉冲形成线"具有更高的有效磁导率,其输出可同时表现出强的铁电性和铁磁性,即更明显的"多铁性"。"多铁性脉冲形成线"有可能在紧凑型脉冲功率系统中获得应用。     

原子层沉积技术沉积的FeOx包裹层显著提高Pd/C催化剂在甲酸分解放氢反应中的催化活性

Hydrogen generation from formic acid (FA) has received significant attention.The challenge is to obtain a highly active catalyst under mild conditions for practical applications.Here atomic layer deposition (ALD) of FeO_x was performed to deposit an ultrathin oxide coating layer to a Pd/C catalyst,therein the FeO_x coverage was precisely controlled by ALD cycles.Transmission electron microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction measurements suggest that the FeO_x coating layer improved the thermal stability of Pd nanoparticles (NPs).X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurement showed that deposition of FeO_x on the Pd NPs caused a positive shift of Pd3d binding energy.In the FA dehydrogenation reaction,the ultrathin FeO_x layer on the Pd/C could considerably improve the catalytic activity,and Pd/C coated with 8 cycles of FeO_x showed an optimized activity with turnover frequency being about 2 times higher than the uncoated one.The improved activities were in a volcanoshape as a function of the number of FeO_x ALD cycles,indicating the coverage of FeO_x is critical for the optimized activity.In summary,simultaneous improvements of activity and thermal stability of Pd/C catalyst by ultra-thin FeO_x overlayer suggest to be an effective way to design active catalysts for the FA dehydrogenation reaction.
