A convenient synthesis of a selective gelatinase inhibitor as an antimetastatic agent

Compound 1, 2-(4-phenoxyphenylsulfonylmethyl)thiirane, is a potent and selective inhibitor for human gelatinases (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2000, 122, 6799-6800), enzymes implicated in a number of diseases, including cancer. This compound is showing excellent promise in animal trials in a number of disease models. Large quantities of this compound were necessary for these studies. A convenient four-step synthetic route for compound 1 is described herein. The synthesis is amenable to scale-up to tens of grams and gives an overall yield of 57% for this important compound.     

Pt对Mo基催化剂还原-硫化过程的影响

采用脉冲硫化、连续硫化、程序升温还原、程序升温及程序降温电导及X射线衍射等方法研究了贵金属Pt对MoO3催化剂还原-流化过程的影响及Pt对MOS2配位不饱和活性中心形成的影响．结果表明，Pt担载或在MoO3上可以促进MoO3的还原-硫化，使MoO3的还原-硫化温度大大降低Pt担载在MoSw上可促进MoS2的部分还原形成配位不饱和的钼中心     

A new caffeoyl quinic acid from aster scaber and its inhibitory activity against human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) integrase

The phytochemical study of the aerial parts of Aster scaber Thunb. (Asteraceae) yielded a new caffeoyl quinic acid, (-) 3,5-dicaffeoyl-muco-quinic acid (2) and three known compounds, (-) 3,5-dicaffeoyl quinic acid (1), (-) 4,5-dicaffeoyl quinic acid (3), (-) 5-caffeoyl quinic acid (4). The structures were established by high resolution spectroscopic methods. The antiviral effects against HIV-1 integrase of the compounds was evaluated. (-) 3,5-Dicaffeoyl-muco-quinic acid (2) exhibited potent antiviral activity with an IC50 value of 7.0 +/- 1.3 microg/ml.
