This study investigated the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of six Thai edible plant leaf extracts, including Cashew (CN), Chamuang (CM), Monpu (MP), Thurianthet (TT), Kradon (KD) and Pakliang (PL), extracted using ethanol extraction (EE), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), and ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE). The leaf extracts were characterized for percentage yield, total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and-ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) activity, and antimicrobial activity against spoilage. MAE produced the highest percentage yields, among which MAE-extracted MP exhibited the highest yield. Furthermore, the highest TPC and TFC were obtained for MAE, with MAE-extracted KD and CN showing the highest TPC and TFC, respectively, among the samples. The highest DPPH and FRAP values were seen in MAE-processed CN, KD, and MP extracts. The inhibition zone of pathogenic bacteria, minimum inhibitory concentration, and minimum bacterial concentration were determined in all samples except TT. These findings indicate that, compared to EE and UAE, MAE improved the antioxidant and antimicrobial efficacy of the leaf extracts. The aforementioned extracts could be employed as natural food additives to prevent chemical and microbial spoilage of foods. 相似文献
Bis(2‐thienyl)diketopyrrolopyrrole with two ZnII‐cyclens (ZnCyc‐DPP) was designed and synthesized to evaluate the selective binding of ZnII‐cyclen with thymine base in single‐strand DNA as a tool for the construction of a highly ordered multichromophore system on DNAs. Through UV/Vis titrations, gel filtration chromatography, and circular dichroism spectroscopy, ZnCyc‐DPP formed J‐type DPP aggregates with oligo‐dTn DNAs. The DPP aggregates absorbed on a gold electrode exhibited good photocurrent responses. The present results show that binding ZnII‐cyclen–chromophore conjugates and thymine bases together is a powerful tool for preparing DNA‐templated multichromophoric systems with specific functions. 相似文献
Iron man or weakling? Ligand‐field strengths are conveniently expressed by the empirical spectrochemical series. Although cyanide has been deeply entrenched as a strong‐field ligand, a couple of recent examples cast doubt toward the position of this ligand, namely the high‐spin (S=2) states of [CrII(CN)5]3? and [FeII(tpp)(CN)]?. tpp=meso‐tetraphenylporphinate.
A carbonyl ylide cycloaddition approach to the squalene synthase inhibitors zaragozic acids A and C is described. The carbonyl ylide precursor 8 was synthesized starting from di-tert-butyl D-tartrate (47) via an eleven-step sequence involving the regioselective reduction of the mono-MPM (MPM=4-methoxybenzyl) ether 48 with LiBH4 and the diastereoselective addition of sodium tert-butyl diazoacetate to alpha-keto ester 10. The reaction of alpha-diazo ester 8 with 3-butyn-2-one (40) in the presence of a catalytic amount of [Rh2(OAc)4] gave the desired cycloadduct 59 as a single diastereomer. The dihydroxylation of enone 59 followed by sequential transformations permitted the construction of the fully functionalized 2,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane core 5. Alkene 79 derived from 5 serves as a common precursor to zaragozic acids A (1) and C (2), since the elongation of the C1 alkyl side chain can be attained by olefin cross-metathesis, especially under the influence of Blechert's catalyst (85). 相似文献
A triply linked ZnII diporphyrin underwent site-selective cycloaddition reactions with thermally generated o-xylylene to provide a triply linked porphyrin-chlorin hybrid and a triply linked chlorin dimer in moderate yields. The former product is a symmetry-allowed [4+2] cycloadduct, while the latter is a symmetry-forbidden [4+4] cycloadduct. Oxidation of the latter product with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) provided a triply linked diporphyrin fused with a benzocyclooctatriene segment. This oxidized product and above [4+2] cycloadduct were structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The observed site-selectivity is considered to arise from the large MO coefficients at the bay-area in the LUMO of the triply linked diporphyrin. The anomalous thermal [4+4] cycloaddition may be ascribed to the highly conjugated and quite perturbed electronic properties of triply linked ZnII diporphyrin. 相似文献
Binary diffusion coefficients, D12, of the metal acetylacetonates, palladium(II) acetylacetonate and cobalt(III) acetylacetonate, were measured from 308.2 to 343.2 K over the pressure range from 9 to 40 MPa at infinite dilution in supercritical carbon dioxide using the chromatographic impulse response method. The effects of pressure, temperature, density, and viscosity on D12 values were examined. It was observed that the D12 values of palladium(II) acetylacetonate and cobalt(III) acetylacetonate were larger than those of lipids with similar molecular weights, such as arachidonic acid and monoolein, respectively. Furthermore, the measured D12 data of each metal acetylacetonate were well correlated by the hydrodynamic equation D12/T as a function of carbon dioxide viscosity. 相似文献
Geometric immobilization of azacrown ligand onto a fluorophore is expected to change their binding properties toward ion discrimination. An immobilized azacrown ligand 1 onto anthracene fluorophore senses Al(III), Cu(II) and Ga(III) in ethanol among the metal ions examined. In 100% aqueous solution, ligand 1 shows large CHEF effects with Al(III) and Ga(III) and large CHEQ effect with Hg(II). By comparison, non-immobilized azacrown ligand 2 showed large CHEF effects with Al(III), Ce(III), Ga(III), La(III) and Zn(II) in ethanol. 相似文献
We have investigated the molecular beam epitaxial (MBE) growth mechanisms of nanometer scale GaAs ridge structures formed on patterned substrates and studied the way to control the widths of ridges and those of quantum wires grown on them. It is found that the width of the ridge structure decreases, as the growth temperature is reduced, reaching about 20 nm when grown below 580°C. The width of an AlAs ridge (10 nm at 570°C) is always found to be narrower than that of GaAs. A Monte Carlo simulation is performed to investigate the diffusion process of atoms in these ridge structures and indicates the important role of thermodynamical stability on the shape of a nanometer structure. 相似文献
