Isatin‐1,2,3‐triazole‐isatin Scaffolds and Their Antibacterial Activity

Twelve novel isatin‐1,2,3‐triazole‐isatin scaffolds 5a – l were designed, synthesized, and assessed for their in vitro antibacterial activity in this paper. The preliminary results showed that all dimers only endowed with weak antibacterial activity, which was less active than the reference ciprofloxacin. However, the structure–activity relationship was enriched, which may be useful for the further development of more efficient candidates.     

Formation of silk fibroin nanoparticles in water-miscible organic solvent and their characterization

When Silk fibre derived from Bombyx mori, a native biopolymer, was dissolved in highly concentrated neutral salts such as CaCl₂, the regenerated liquid silk, a gradually degraded peptide mixture of silk fibroin, could be obtained. The silk fibroin nanoparticles were prepared rapidly from the liquid silk by using water-miscible protonic and polar aprotonic organic solvents. The nanoparticles are insoluble but well dispersed and stable in aqueous solution and are globular particles with a range of 35–125 nm in diameter by means of TEM, SEM, AFM and laser sizer. Over one half of the ɛ-amino groups exist around the protein nanoparticles by using a trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) method. Raman spectra shows the tyrosine residues on the surface of the globules are more exposed than those on native silk fibers. The crystalline polymorph and conformation transition of the silk nanoparticles from random-coil and α-helix form (Silk I) into anti-parallel β-sheet form (Silk II) are investigated in detail by using infrared, fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy, DSC, ¹³C CP-MAS NMR and electron diffraction. X-ray diffraction of the silk nanoparticles shows that the nanoparticles crystallinity is about four fifths of the native fiber. Our results indicate that the degraded peptide chains of the regenerated silk is gathered homogeneously or heterogeneously to form a looser globular structure in aqueous solution. When introduced into excessive organic solvent, the looser globules of the liquid silk are rapidly dispersed and simultaneously dehydrated internally and externally, resulting in the further chain–chain contact, arrangement of those hydrophobic domains inside the globules and final formation of crystalline silk nanoparticles with β-sheet configuration. The morphology and size of the nanoparticles are relative to the kinds, properties and even molecular structures of organic solvents, and more significantly to the looser globular substructure of the degraded silk fibroin in aqueous solution. It is possible that the silk protein nanoparticles are potentially useful in biomaterials such as cosmetics, anti-UV skincare products, industrial materials and surface improving materials, especially in enzyme/drug delivery system as vehicle.     

Highly Tunable Heterojunctions from Multimetallic Sulfide Nanoparticles and Silver Nanowires

A facile and general strategy is presented to create well‐defined heterojunctions with ultra‐small multimetallic sulfide nanoparticles (MMSNPs) uniformly coated on sliver nanowires. A unique aspect of this method is the atomic‐level pre‐integration of multimetallic components by exploiting recently developed supertetrahedral metal sulfide nanoclusters. The use of such nanoclusters also enables the convenient formation of the ultrathin interfacial Ag₂S layer via etching. The heterojunctions (denoted as MMSNPs/Ag₂S/Ag‐NWs) benefit from adjustable multimetallic components and display tunable visible‐light‐driven photocatalytic performance owing to the synergistic effect of multimetallic components from MMSNPs and the high carrier mobility of Ag‐NWs. The synthetic strategy opens new routes to designing and fabricating various heterojunctions with multimetallic components, which could further expand their applications in catalysis, electronics, and photonics.

凤阳山自然保护区鸟类调查

本文记录了1980年春夏季和冬季对凤阳山自然保护区鸟调查的74种鸟,隶属于10目24科,其中14种为本省当时的新记录,留鸟占总数的70％;东洋界种类占63.5％。区系组成上具有华南区的特色。 以大田坪(1220米)和夏边(650米)两地为调查点。两地春夏季鸟类的群体密度无显著性差异,大田坪的多样性指数(H′)高而群落的优势度指数(C)小;冬季两地的群体密度具极显著差异,夏边的H′值高而C值小。 此外,在春夏季观察了鸟类的繁殖活动并记述了采到的五种鸟巢及内容。

Complexes of HArF and AuX (X = F,Cl, Br,I). Comparison of H-bonds,halogen bonds,F-shared bonds and covalent bonds

The various sorts of complexes in which HArF and AuX (X = F, Cl, Br, I) can engage are probed by MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ calculations. The most weakly bound are those containing a halogen bond (XB) of the AuX⋯FArH sort, with binding energies less than 8 kcal/mol. H-bonded dimers FArH⋯XAu are a little stronger, held together by some 12 kcal/mol. Being the most strongly bound places the F atom of HArF roughly midway between Ar and Au in an F-shaped structure, bound by some 43–54 kcal/mol. The last sort of product involves atomic rearrangements wherein the H atom migrates from Ar to Au, followed by formation of a covalent Ar–Au bond. The resulting molecular unit is stabilized by 30–40 kcal/mol relative to the original HArF and AuX reactants. The H-bonded dimers are held together by an unusually large polarization component, surpassing electrostatic attraction, while dispersion predominates for the halogen bonds. Perturbations of the geometries and stretching frequencies offer a ready means of distinguishing the different types of complexes by spectroscopic techniques.     

Spectrum–effect relationship between HPLC fingerprints and antioxidant activity of Angelica sinensis

Angelica sinensis is one of the most important traditional Chinese medicines and has antioxidant activities that greatly contribute to its pharmacological action. However, the compounds responsible for its antioxidant activity remain unknown. In this study, the fingerprints of 10 batches of A. sinensis collected from different locations in China were established with HPLC to identify the common peaks. The antioxidant activities of these 10 batches were evaluated with 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt, and ferric-reducing antioxidant power assays. The spectrum–effect relationship between HPLC fingerprints and antioxidant effect of A. sinensis was examined by the partial-least-square regression analysis and the variable importance in projection method. Results showed that the antioxidant effect of A. sinensis results from the synergistic effect of various compounds, and peaks X3 and X7–X18 were the main substances responsible for antioxidant efficacy. This study successfully identified the spectrum–effect relationship between HPLC fingerprints and the antioxidant effect of A. sinensis. This relationship can provide methods for establishing the quality standards for A. sinensis and developing new and effective products of A. sinensis based on its antioxidant ingredients.
