Catalyst‐Free Protocol for the Synthesis of Quinoxalines and Pyrazines in PEG

A facile and simple catalyst‐free protocol has been developed for the condensation of 1,2‐diketones with aromatic 1,2‐diamines in polyethylene glycol (PEG), providing quinoxaline derivatives in good yields. The important features of the methodology are broad substrates scope, simple workup, catalyst free, environmentally benign, and no requirement for metal catalysts. It is noteworthy that the cyclization reaction of 1,2‐diketones with aliphatic 1,2‐diamines is also conducted smoothly to afford pyrazines in good yields under the standard conditions. In addition, PEG could be recovered easily and was reused without evident loss in activity     

Preparation and evaluation of <Superscript>131</Superscript>I-quercetin as a novel radiotherapy agent against dedifferentiated thyroid cancer

Here we reported the radiolabeling and evaluation of a novel ¹³¹I-radiolabeled quercetin for the treatment of dedifferentiated thyroid cancers. The human thyroid cancer cell lines (FTC-133, TT and DRO) experienced much higher uptake of ¹³¹I-quercetin as compared to the free ¹³¹I. And the proliferation inhibition rate of ¹³¹I-quercetin on in vitro DRO cell line was 86.87 ± 7.15%. Biodistribution and SPECT analysis demonstrated that the injected radioactivity mainly accumulated in tumors. The tumor volume in the treatment group was dramatically inhibited in comparison with the control group.     

Camptothecin@HMSNs/thermosensitive hydrogel composite for applications in preventing local breast cancer recurrence

The CPT was loaded into the HMSNs with the high loading capacity. Then the CPT@HMSNs were loaded into the PLEL thermosensitive hydrogels for local therapy to prevent the recurrence of breast cancer after the tumor was resected.     

海蛎壳粉废弃物负载CuCl_2作为高效、廉价以及可回收催化剂合成炔胺类化合物(英文)

发展了一种经济、简单的海蛎壳粉负载的CuCl2异相催化剂OSP-CuCl2,用来催化醛-炔-胺之间的A3偶联反应.OSP-CuCl2容易通过简单的方法从海蛎壳粉以及CuCl2制备,且显示出高的催化活性以及良好的可循环回收性.在微波辅助以及无溶剂条件下,以OSP-CuCl2为催化剂,能够以高产物收率制备出一系列炔胺类化合物.OSP-CuCl2可通过简单的过滤方式进行回收,并至少可循环使用6次.初步放大实验表明,炔胺类化合物能够以150 mmol的规模制备(87%收率).
