PHOTODYNAMIC ACTION OF CHEMICALLY RELATED FLAVONES

Abstract— Flavone, polyhydroxyflavones (apigenin, fisetin, kaempferol, luteolin, myricetin, quercetin, resokaempferol and robinetin), polymethoxyflavones and acetylated and benzylated flavones were tested for photodynamic activity using Tetrahymena pyriformis T as the test organism. Among these compounds, polymethoxyflavones showed the highest order of activity, followed by flavone and then flavone derivatives with OH and OCH₃ groups. Resokaempferol was the only active polyhydroxyflavone, the remainder being inactive such as the benzyl-derivative. The methoxyl group in the 5–position and an increase in number of methoxyl groups from one to three in the phenolic portion of the flavonoid tended to decrease photodynamic activity. Tetrahymena killed photodynamically by polymethoxyflavones were morphologically altered by blister-like blebs. Polymethoxyflavones showed the lowest cytotoxicity and the greatest photodynamic activity among those flavonoids tested. The majority of the favonoids in this series have absorption spectra in the 320–370 nm region.     

Finite Element Methods for a Model for Full Waveform Acoustic Logging

A model is defined to simulate the propagation of waves in aradially symmetric, isotropic, composite system consisting ofa fluid-filled well bore ^f through a fluid-saturated poroussolid ^p. Biot's equations of motion are chosen to describe thepropagation of waves in ^p, while the standard equation of motionfor compressible inviscid fluids is used for ^f, with appropriateboundary conditions at the contact surface between ^f and ^p.Also, absorbing boundary conditions for the artificial boundariesof ^p are derived for the model, their effect being to make themtransparent for waves arriving normally First, results on the existence and uniqueness of the solutionof the differential problem are given and then a discrete-time,explicit finite element procedure is defined and analysed, withfinite element spaces suited for radially symmetric problemsbeing used for the spatial discretisation.
