Propane oxidation over Pd/LaFe0.8Co0.2O3 catalyst

Pd/LaFe_0.8Co_0.2O₃ was found to be more active than the Pd/Al₂O₃ catalyst in propane oxidation. Activity and the oxidation state of palladium were strongly affected by the redox ratio (S) of reactants. Higher propane conversion could be obtained under rich conditions at higher temperatures, contributing to steam reforming. The presence of excess steam would bring about inhibition and oscillation.

INAA determination of major and trace elements in loess,paleosol and precipitation layers in a pleistocene Loess Section,China

Instrumental neutron activation analysis was used for the determination of 31 major and trace elements in 32 samples from the Xinji Loess Section, Shaanxi Province, China. Interferences, including those from uranium fission products, were evaluated and corrections applied where necessary. The 39.7-meter deep section comprises of Lishi Loess of the middle Pleistocene (Q₂) and Malan Loess of the late Pleistocene (Q₃). The section is characterized by the presence of 5 layers of paleosol, and each paleosol is underlain by a precipitation layer. When the elemental abundances are converted to a carbonate-free basis, there is little compositional difference among the carbonate-free fractions of loess, paleosol and precipitation layers. This indicates that dissolution of carbonate minerals by downward-moving surface water was an important process in paleosol formation while other minerals were not severely weathered and elemental fractionation was minimal. The parent materials of the paleosol and precipitation layers closely resemble the loess layers in their elemental abundances, which suggests that all layers in the section have a compositionally similar source.     

Binding of wogonin to human serum albumin: a common binding site of wogonin in subdomain IIA

The binding of wogonin to human serum albumin (HSA) has been studied by spectroscopic method including circular dichroism (CD), infrared spectra (IR) and fluorescence spectra. The fluorescence properties of HSA were examined in presence of wogonin and the fluorescence intensity of HSA was significantly decreased in the presence of wogonin. The binding parameters of wogonin were studied from the fluorescence decreasing of HSA by the fluoremetric titrations. The Stern-Volmer plots indicated that the binding of wogonin to HSA at 296, 303, 310 K is characterized by one binding site with the binding constant K(S-V) at 1.872 x 10(5), 1.561 x 10(5), 1.392 x 10(5), respectively, which are good agreement with the results from the Scatchard plots. The binding process was exothermic, enthalpy driven and spontaneous, as indicated by the thermodynamic analyses, and the major part of the binding energy is hydrophobic interaction, which were consistent with the result of molecule modelling study, and there are also a numbers of hydrogen bonds between wogonin and HSA. Furthermore, the displacement experiments indicate that wogonin can bind to the subdomain IIA, that is, the site I of HSA, which is also good agreement with the result of molecule modelling study.     

Carbopalladation of nitriles: synthesis of 2,3-diarylindenones and polycyclic aromatic ketones by the Pd-catalyzed annulation of alkynes and bicyclic alkenes by 2-iodoarenenitriles

2-iodobenzonitrile, its derivatives, and various heterocyclic analogues undergo palladium(0)-catalyzed annulation onto diarylacetylenes or bicyclic alkenes to afford 2,3-diarylindenones and polycyclic aromatic ketones in very good to excellent yields. This reaction represents one of the first examples of the addition of an organopalladium moiety to the carbon-nitrogen triple bond of a nitrile. The reaction is compatible with a number of functional groups. A reaction mechanism, as well as a model accounting for the electronic effects of substituents on the aromatic ring of the nitrile, is proposed.     

Multifunctional peptide-assembled micelles for simultaneously reducing amyloid-β and reactive oxygen species

The excessive production and deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ) is one of the most important etiologies of Alzheimer''s disease (AD). The interaction between Aβ and metal ions produces aberrant reactive oxygen species (ROS), which induce oxidative stress and accelerate the progression of AD. To reduce Aβ plaques and ROS to maintain their homeostasis is an emerging and ingenious strategy for effective treatment of AD. Herein, we report the rational design of multifunctional micelles (MPGLT) based on a polymer-grafted peptide to simultaneously clear Aβ and ROS for AD therapy. The MPGLT integrating three functional peptides as a ROS scavenger (tk-GSH), β-sheet breaker (LP) and an autophagy activator (TK) respectively, could capture and degrade Aβ. Meanwhile, the tk-GSH on the surface of MPGLT effectively scavenges the intracellular ROS. Consequently, MPGLT reduced the cytotoxicity of Aβ and ROS. In vivo animal studies using an AD mouse model further showed that MPGLT could transport across the blood–brain barrier for decreasing the Aβ plaque and eliminating ROS in vivo. This peptide micelle-based synergistic strategy may provide novel insight for AD therapy.
