Antitumor activity of stilbenoids and flavonoids isolated from Acanthopanax brachypus

This report is the first to detail the antitumor activity of Acanthopanax brachypus, a species well recognized by eastern folk medicine. Four stilbeniods and nine flavonoids have been isolated from stem bark of the plant. The isolates have been tested for their antitumor activity against selected human cancer cell lines (HgpG-2, MCF-7, K-562, and A-549). Even though three of the compounds have shown high to moderate cytotoxicity against certain cell lines (IC₅₀ of 4.5 to 6.5 μg/mL), in most of the experiments little or no anticancer activity has been revealed.     

过渡层（SiO2,TiO2）对F掺杂SnO2薄膜的光电性能影响研究

采用喷雾热解法分别在普通钠钙玻璃、含Si O2过渡层与Ti O2过渡层的玻璃上制备了F掺杂Sn O2薄膜,比较了不同过渡层上生长的F掺杂Sn O2薄膜的表面形貌特点,分析了过渡层对F掺杂Sn O2膜层的光电性能的影响。结果表明,过渡层种类对F掺杂Sn O2薄膜各项性能影响很大,在Si O2薄膜过渡层上制备的F掺杂Sn O2薄膜晶粒最小且表面致密,在Ti O2过渡层制备的F掺杂Sn O2薄膜晶粒最大,在玻璃上生长的F掺杂Sn O2薄膜较为疏松,以Si O2为过渡层制备的F掺杂Sn O2薄膜光电性能最佳,其平均可见光透过率为82.9%,电阻率为5.33×10-4Ω·cm,适合喷雾热解法制备性能优良的玻璃基F掺杂Sn O2薄膜。     

The miracle role of lattice imperfections in benzene alkylation with methanol over mordenite

Mordenite (MOR) has demonstrated potential as a catalyst for alkylation due to high variability, intrinsic porosity, and outstanding stability. However, the contact probability of benzene and methanol has been limited by typical layered structures of MOR and there is no connection between layers. Here, we report the preparedness of H-MOR via a sequential post-treatment method based on a commercial MOR. H-MOR sample had appeared lattice imperfections inferred from characterization means. The samples were tested with benezene methylation reaction. Results show that the high conversion of benzene and the high selectivity of toluene were obtained from the miracle role of lattice imperfections in the H-MOR sample. Sequentially, based on the study of all catalyst structure and physical properties, a plausible reaction mechanism for the selectivity of the desired toluene was proposed.     

TEMPO-catalyzed decarboxylation reactions for the synthesis of 1,2-unsubstituted indolizines

An efficient synthesis of 1,2-unsubstituted indolizines was developed via 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO)–catalyzed decarboxylation reaction. A series of target products were successfully prepared with the tolerance of a variety of functional groups. This protocol features advantages such as easily available substrates, broad substituent scope, and eco-friendly conditions.     

The Crystallization and Melting Behaviors of PDLA-b-PBS-b-PDLA Tri-block Copolymers

In this study,the poly(D-lactide)-block-poly(butylene succinate)-block-poly(D-lactide)(PDLA-b-PBS-b-PDLA)triblock copolymers with a fixed length of PBS and various lengths of PDLA are synthesized,and the crystallization behaviors of the PDLA and PBS blocks are investigated.Although both the crystallization behaviors of PBS and PDLA blocks depend on composition,they exhibit different variations.For the PDLA block,its crystallization behaviors are mainly influenced by temperature and block length.The crystallization signals of PDLA block appear in the B-D 2-2 specimen,and these signals get enhanced with PDLA block length.The crystallization rates tend to decrease with increasing PDLA block lendth during crystallizing at 90 and 100°C.Crystallizing at higher temperature,the crystallization rates increase at first and then decrease with block length.The crystallization rates decrease as elevating the crystallization temperature.The melting temperatures of PDLA blocks increase with block lengths and crystallization temperatures.For the PBS block,its crystallization behaviors are mainly controlled by the nucleation and confinement from PDLA block.The crystallization and melting enthalpies as well as the crystallization and melting temperatures of PBS block reduce as a longer PDLA block has been copolymerized,while the crystallization rates of the PBS block exhibit unique component dependence,and the highest rate is observed in the B-D 2-2 specimen.The Avrami exponent of PBS crystallites is reduced as a longer PDLA block is incorporated or the sample is crystallized at higher temperature.This investigation provides a convenient route to tune the crystallization behavior of PBS and PLA.     

Synthesis and characterization of new aromatic liquid crystalline polyesters having phenyl substituents

Two different series of new aromatic liquid crystalline (LC) polyesters were prepared from 3-phenyl-4, 4'-biphenyldicarboxylic acid (PBDA) and 1-phenyl-2, 6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid (PNDA). PBDA and PNDA were polymerized with various aromatic diols such as hydroquinone, substituted hydroquinones, isomeric naphthalenediols and 4, 4'-biphenol, and the resulting polyesters were characterized by DSC, WAXD, and on a cross-polarizing microscope for the study of their thermal transition and crystallization properties, and mesophases formed therefrom.
