The first concise total synthesis of C2 symmetric (+)-ekeberin D4 (1) that exhibits antiplasmodial activity has been achieved in total nine steps and 27% yield from the known diol 4. The efficient synthetic method features the regio- and diastereoselective epoxidation of 4 and convergent coupling between half fragments 2 and 3 by taking into account the C2 symmetric property. 相似文献
Microdevices designed for practical environmental pollution monitoring need to detect specific pollutants such as dioxins. Bisphenol A (BPA) has been widely used as a monomer for the synthesis of polycarbonate and epoxy resins. However, the recent discovery of its high potential ability to disrupt human endocrine systems has made the development of smart systems and microdevices for its detection and removal necessary. Molecule‐responsive microsized hydrogels with β‐cycrodextrin (β‐CD) as ligands are prepared by photopolymerization using a fluorescence microscope. The molecule‐responsive micro‐hydrogels show ultra‐quick shrinkage in response to target BPA. Furthermore, the flow rate of a microchannel is autonomously regulated by the molecule‐responsive shrinking of their hydrogels as smart microvalves.
A photoaffinity labeling (PAL)‐based method for the rapid identification of target proteins is presented in which a high‐performance chemical tag, an isotope‐coded fluorescent tag (IsoFT), can be attached to the interacting site by irradiation. Labeled peptides can be easily distinguished among numerous proteolytic digests by sequential detection with highly sensitive fluorescence spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Subsequent MS/MS analysis provides amino acid sequence information with a higher depth of coverage. The combination of PAL and heterogeneous target‐selecting techniques significantly reduces the amount of time and protein required for identification. An additional photocleavable moiety successfully accelerated proteomic analysis using cell lysate. This method is a widely applicable approach for the rapid and accurate identification of interacting proteins. 相似文献
Seventeen compounds having a variety of substituents at the 3- and 5′-positions of 2′-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5-FUdR) and 5-fluorouridine (5-FUR) were synthesized, and their γ-radiolysis in aqueous solutions were studied. The compounds having thioureido (RNHCSNH, R H, PhCH2, acyl) and thiocarbonylamino (XCSNH, X PhCH2S, PhO) groups at the 3-position of 5-FUdR were efficiently cleaved to give 5-FUdR with high G values upon γ-irradiation of their aqueous solutions. The active species for these cleavage reactions were hydrated electron (e−aq), H• and HO•. However, the compounds having a dimethylsulfoxyimino group at 3-position of 5-FUdR and 5-FUR afforded 5-FUdR and 5-FUR only under the radiolysis conditions where e−aq becomes a principal active species. The compound having a 2-benzoylthiazoylthiocarbonylamino group at the 3-position of 5-FUdR showed the highest reactivity toward HO.. The mechanisms of these γ-radiolysis reactions are discussed. The examination of anticellular activities of γ-irradiated compounds having a thiocarbonylamino group at the 3-position of 5-FUdR toward murine Sarcoma 180 cells revealed that these compounds may be utilized as a candidate for a radiation-induced drug (RID). 相似文献
A membrane permeation-controlled transdermal delivery system (MC-TDS) of isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN), a model drug, was prepared from polyvinyl alcohol aqueous gel containing the drug, a membrane consisting of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer membrane and acrylic adhesive (EV-a). The permeability of ISDN through the EV-a membrane was 2.5 times higher than that through excised hairless rat skin. The ratio of plasma concentration of ISDN after application of MC-TDS on stripped (damaged) skin relative to intact skin was lower than that after application of Frandol tape-S, a marketed ISDN TDS, which suggests that the EV-a membrane might work as a control membrane for overall delivery rate of ISDN to the body. When MC-TDS stored at 30 degrees C for 13.5-48h was applied to the damaged skin, however, the initial plasma concentration of ISDN was very much higher than the expected therapeutic level and was not controlled by the EV-a membrane. The initial high plasma concentration of ISDN after application of the stored MC-TDS on the damaged skin was due to migration of ISDN from the reservoir to the adhesive during storage at 30 degrees C. The migration of drugs into the adhesive might be an important problem in developing efficient MC-TDS. 相似文献
A wide variety of sulphides can be readily converted to the corresponding sulphoxides in good to excellent yields by treatment with a combination of sodium chlorite, (salen)manganese(III) complex, and chromatographic alumina in dichloromethane under mild and neutral conditions. 相似文献
Yttrium iron garnet (YIG) films were grown by pulsed laser ablation (PLA) on (111) Gadolinium Gallium Garnet (GGG) substrates. The second harmonic of YAG laser (532 nm) with a high laser fluence was employed to produce YIG droplets efficiently. It was found that YIG films prepared at RT substrates have a large number of solidified droplets of various sizes. Highly oriented YIG crystals were grown on the (111) GGG substrate heated at 860 °C by PLA using a large number of molten droplets, suggesting an LPE-like growth. This YIG film shows a small ferrimagnetic resonance linewidth of 7.5 Oe. This value is quite small for films prepared by vapor-phase epitaxy techniques. 相似文献
New muq-opioid receptor (MOR) agonists containing 4-hydroxypiperidine, piperidine and piperazine moieties were synthesized and evaluated to find a peripheral opioid analgesic. Among the synthesized compounds, 12-[1-[3-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl)-3,3-diphenylpropyl]-4-hydroxypiperidin-4-yl]phenoxy]acetic acid (8: SS620) having phenoxyacetic acid and 4-hydroxypiperidine moieties showed the highest agonist potency on the MOR in an isolated guinea-pig ileum preparation, and it also had selectivity to the human MOR expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 cells compared with the same types of delta- and kappa-opioid receptors (DOR and KOR). In addition, compound 8 showed a 10 times more potent MOR agonist activity than loperamide. Furthermore, compound 8 showed a peripheral analgesic activity in vivo screening on rat. 相似文献
