This work is concerned with the removal of unwanted fluid through the source–sink pair. The source consists of fluid issuing out of a nozzle in the form of a jet and the sink is a pipe that is kept some distance from the source pipe. Of concern is the percentage of source fluid sucked through the sink. The experiments have been carried in a large glass water tank. The source nozzle diameter is 6 mm and the sink pipe diameter is either 10 or 20 mm. The horizontal and vertical separations and angles between these source and sink pipes are adjustable. The flow was visualized using KMnO4 dye, planer laser induced fluorescence and particle streak photographs. To obtain the effectiveness (that is percentage of source fluid entering the sink pipe), titration method is used. The velocity profiles with and without the sink were obtained using particle image velocimetry. The sink flow rate to obtain a certain effectiveness increase dramatically with lateral separation. The sink diameter and the angle between source and the sink axes don’t influence effectiveness as much as the lateral separation. 相似文献
A series of novel 2-(2-cyanophenyl)-N-phenylacetamide derivatives 3(a-u) were designed and synthesized via selective amidation of methyl-2-(2-cyanophenyl)acetates over amidine formation by using AlMe3 as catalyst in good yields. All the newly synthesized derivatives were well characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FTIR and HRMS spectral techniques. All the synthesized title compounds were evaluated for their in vitro anticancer activity against three cancer cell lines. Among all compounds, 3i (IC50?=?1.20 μM, IC50?=?1.10 μM), 3j (IC50?=?0.11 μM, IC50?=?0.18 μM), 3o (IC50?=?0.98 μM, IC50?=?2.76 μM) showed excellent inhibitory activity than the standard Etoposide (IC50?=?2.11 μM, IC50?=?3.08 μM) against MCF-7 and A-549 cell lines, respectively. Docking analysis of all the compounds with the human topoisomerase II revealed that the compound 3j fitted well in the active site pocket, showing the best docking score of 158.072 kcal/mol.
The fruits of Poncirus trifoliatus Raf. (Rutaceae) have been used against allergic diseases for generations and still occupy an important place in traditional
oriental medicine. They have also been used to treat gastric and duodenal ulcers. Chemical analysis of extracts of Poncirus trifoliatus Raf. fruit at different stages of maturation revealed variations in the concentrations of flavonoids present. Fourteen flavonoids
(neoeriocitrin, narirutin, naringin, hesperidin, neohesperidin, neoponcirin, poncirin, naringenin, hesperetin, sinensetin,
nobiletin, heptamethoxyflavone, 5-O-demethylnobiletin, and tangeretin) and five amines (synephrine, octopamine, N-methyltyramine, hordenine, and tyramine) in extracts from the fruit of Poncirus trifoliatus Raf. were analyzed by HPLC with a C18 reversed-phase column. The concentrations of the four flavonoids naringin, poncirin, narirutin, and neoponcirin was maximum
during the first stage of growth and gradually decreased until the fruits were fully developed. The paper also discusses the
anatomical variations observed at different stages of development of the fruit. 相似文献
Black cohosh (Actaearecemosa) is a popular botanical used for women’s health. The rhizomes/roots used in black cohosh products are often collected from the wild; a correct identification is therefore crucial. An HPLC-ELSD method has been developed for the analysis of terpenoids in different Actaea species samples. The best results were obtained with a Phenomenex Discovery column using gradient mobile phase of water (0.1% acetic acid), acetonitrile (0.1% acetic acid) and reagent alcohol. Owing to their low UV absorption, the triterpene saponins were detected by evaporative light scattering. Elution was run at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min?1. This paper discusses the use of the chemical fingerprinting technique as a means of identifying A. recemosa from three closely related species, A. pachypoda, A. podocarpa and A. rubra, respectively. This method suggests that the analytical method could be a useful method for quality control and identifying species. 相似文献
A synthetic approach to the novel fomannosane sesquiterpene natural product illudosin 2 from the diquinane precursor 5, readily available in turn from commercial 1,5-cyclooctadiene, is delineated. The key steps are the stereoselective construction of the cis, anti, cis-tricyclo[6.2.0.02,6]decane system, strategic C-C bond disengagement through Baeyer-Villiger oxidation and functional group adjustments to deliver the carbocyclic core 18 present in the natural product. 相似文献
Electrospray ion-trap tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-TOFMS) were used to identify and characterize eight C-21 steroidal glycosides in Hoodia gordonii. A generalized fragmentation pathway was proposed by comparing the spectra acquired for eight C-21 steroidal glycosides. The steroidal glycosides in Hoodia gordonii have been classified into two major core groups: hoodigenin A and calogenin. Using the ESI-TOF method, the major core peak ions generated by hoodigenin A glycosides are m/z 313 and 295 and by calogenin glycosides are m/z 479, 461, 299 and 281, respectively. In the MS/MS spectra, fragmentation reactions of the [M+Na](+) ion were recorded to provide structural information about the glycosyl and aglycone moieties. The data illustrates the ability of positive mode ESI for the identification of hoodigenin A and calogenin glycosides, including the nature of the hoodigenin A and calogenin core, the number of sugar residues and the type of saccharide moiety. 相似文献
