Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Anticoagulant Activity of 5-Chloro-N-[[（5S）-2-oxo-3-[4-（2- oxopyridin-1 （2H）-yl）phenyl] oxazolidin-5- yl] methyl] thiophene-2-carboxamide①

The title compound(zifaxaban 2, C20H16ClN3O4 S, Mr = 429.87) was synthesized and its crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Zifaxaban crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21 with a = 5.7900(12), b = 13.086(3), c = 12.889(3) A, β = 100.86(3)°, V = 959.1(3) A3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.489 g/cm3, F(000) = 444, μ = 0.342 mm-1, the final R = 0.0320 and wR = 0.0640 for 2717 observed reflections(I 2σ(I)). The absolute configuration of the stereogenic center in the title compound was confirmed to be S by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Four existing intermolecular hydrogen bonds help to stabilize the lattice and the molecule in the lattice to adopt an L-shape conformation. Zifaxaban was slightly more active than rivaroxaban 1 in in vitro assay against human FXa and therefore is promising as a drug candidate.     

Synthesis of symmetrical 1,5-bis-thio-substituted anthraquinones for cytotoxicity in cultured tumor cells and lipid peroxidation

The synthesis of a series of anthraquinone moieties bearing symmetrical sulfur-linked substituents in the 1 and 5 positions is described. These compounds were evaluated for their ability to inhibit the growth of suspended rat glioma C6 cells and human hepatoma G2 cells, respectively. In addition, the redox property of the compounds was determined based on the inhibition of lipid peroxidation in model membranes. Compounds 2a and 2h in this series compared favorably and exhibited the most potent cytotoxicity (0.02, 0.05 microM) against C6 cells in the XTT colorimetric assay. As far as redox properties are concerned, all bis-thio-anthraquinones show potential lipid peroxidation in model membranes very close to that of mitoxantrone (MX), and 2a, 2d, 2e, 2i, 2j, and 2k have more potential than that of MX. The lack of cytotoxicity of compound 2i cannot be related to lipid peroxidation, but the steric and electronic properties of the side-chain substituent maybe impair effective recognition of the cleavable complex. In contrast to MX, 2a and 2h are cytotoxic in rat glioma C6 cells and do not enhance lipid peroxidation in model membranes.     

Tricarbonyl(N,N-Disubstituted-Cyclohexadienecarboxamide)iron Complexes: Investigation of the Possible Intramolecular Interaction between the Iron Center and the Amide Substituent

Direct reaction of iron pentacarbonyl with 1-N,N-disubstituted-cyclohexa-2,5-dicnecarboxamide and 1-N,N-disubstituted-cyclohexa-1,3-dienecarboxamide mixture (in which the disubstkuted group is diethyl or diphenyl) gave the isomeric tricarbonyl iron complexes of 2-N,N-disubstituted-1,4-η-cyclohexa-1,3-dienccarboxamide (1), 1-N,N-disubslituted-1,4-η-cyclohexa-1,3-dienecarboxamide (2), and 5-N,N-disubstituted-1,4-η-cyclohexa-1,3-dienecarboxamide (3) and tricarbonyliron complexes of l-N,N-disubstituted-cyclohexenecarboxamide (4). These complexes were separated and characterized by IR, UV-VIS, ¹H NMR, elemental analysis, and mass spectra. Only 1 isomerized to give 2 under acidic conditions; both 1 and 2 undergo hydride abstraction with triphenylmethyl hexafluorophosphatc. Complexes 3, undergo neither isomcrization nor hydride abstraction. According to the spectral data, the possible interaction between carboxamide and iron carbonyl moiety was investigated. The irreversible electrochemical behavior of these complexes were studied.     

Prospect for characterizing interacting soft colloidal structures using spin-echo small angle neutron scattering

Spin-echo small angle neutron scattering (SESANS) provides a new experimental tool for structural investigation. Due to the action of spin-echo encoding, SESANS measures a spatial correlation function in real space, as opposed to the structure factor S(Q), I(Q), in momentum (Q) space measured by conventional small angle neutron scattering. To establish the usefulness of SESANS in structural characterization, particularly for interacting colloidal suspensions, we have previously conducted a theoretical study of the SESANS correlation functions for model systems consisting of particles with uniform density profiles [X. Li, C.-Y. Shew, Y. Liu, R. Pynn, E. Liu, K. W. Herwig, G. S. Smith, J. L. Robertson, and W.-R. Chen J. Chem. Phys. 132, 174509 (2010)]. Within the same framework, we explore in the present paper the prospect of using SESANS to investigate the structural characteristics of colloidal systems consisting of particles with nonuniform intraparticle mass distribution. As an example, a Gaussian model of interacting soft colloids is used to investigate the manifestation of structural softness in a SESANS measurement. The exploration shows a characteristically different SESANS correlation function for interacting soft colloids, in comparison to that of a uniform hard sphere system. The difference arises from the Abel transform imbedded in the mathematical formalism bridging the SESANS spectra and the spatial autocorrelation function.     

Conformational effect on small angle neutron scattering behavior of interacting polyelectrolyte solutions: a perspective of integral equation theory

We present small angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements of deuterium oxide (D(2)O) solutions of linear and star sodium poly(styrene sulfonate) (NaPSS) as a function of polyelectrolyte concentration. Emphasis is on understanding the dependence of their SANS coherent scattering cross section I(Q) on the molecular architecture of single polyelectrolyte. The key finding is that for a given concentration, star polyelectrolytes exhibit more pronounced characteristic peaks in I(Q), and the position of the first peak occurs at a smaller Q compared to their linear counterparts. Based on a model of integral equation theory, we first compare the SANS experimental I(Q) of salt-free polyelectrolyte solutions with that predicted theoretically. Having seen their satisfactory qualitative agreement, the dependence of counterion association behavior on polyelectrolyte geometry and concentration is further explored. Our predictions reveal that the ionic environment of polyelectrolyte exhibits a strong dependence on polyelectrolyte geometry at lower polyelectrolyte concentration. However, when both linear and star polyelectrolytes exceed their overlap concentrations, the spatial distribution of counterion is found to be essentially insensitive to polyelectrolyte geometry due to the steric effect.     

光谱法研究尿素对水溶液中血红蛋白构象的影响

应用荧光猝灭法和动态光散射法测定尿素-水混合溶剂中血红蛋白(Hb)与联苯胺的结合距离和Hb的流体动力学半径. 结合Hb的荧光光谱和吸收光谱, 探讨尿素与蛋白质分子在水溶液中相互作用的机理及其对蛋白质构象的影响. 结果显示, 尿素分子取代水分子在蛋白质周围形成溶剂化层, 并与骨架肽链和亲水侧链形成氢键, 从而积聚在蛋白质分子表面. 尿素分子与蛋白质分子之间的直接相互作用对蛋白质的构象具有复杂的影响, 高浓度的尿素-水混合溶剂破坏蛋白质的构象, 而低浓度的混合溶剂则有利于蛋白质形成更紧密的构象. 在高浓度的尿素-水混合溶剂中, Hb血红素疏水空穴失去原有的三级结构后形成一个与熔球态相类似的结构.     

Sr2 CeO4电荷迁移发光的光谱结构规律研究

利用高温固相反应法分别合成了不同物相形成机理的Sr2CeO4，Sr2CeO4：Ca^2 和Sr2CeO4：Ba^2 样品，并对其光谱特性进行了研究．结果发现，对于由SrO和CeO2直接反应生成的Sr2CeO4(Ⅰ)，激发主峰位于256nm左右；而对于SrCeO4和SrO反应生成的Sr2CeO4(Ⅱ)，激发主峰位于279nm左右．在Sr2CeO4(Ⅰ)中掺入Ca^2 ，其激发光谱随着Ca^2 离子浓度的增加逐渐接近于Sr2CeO4(Ⅱ)的激发光谱．激发主峰带应属于CeO6八面体终端Ce^4 -O^2-键的电荷迁移带．对于激发光谱中340nm左右的弱激发峰，其峰值波长不受形成机理及Ca^2 掺杂的影响，只是其强度随着激发主峰的红移而增加，它可能属于CeO6八面体平面上Ce^4 -O^2-键的电荷迁移带．形成机理及Ca^2 掺杂对发射光谱没有影响．Ca^2 在Sr2CeO4(Ⅱ)与Ba^2 在Sr2CeO4(Ⅰ)和(Ⅱ)中均难于替代Sr^2 的位置．     

苯甲醛肟偶极互变反应的理论研究

研究了苯甲醛肟Z构型和E构型两种异构体与相应偶极体的3条互变反应途径:(1)单分子内质子转移反应,质子由肟羟基转移至邻位的氮上,过渡态为三角形结构,反应能垒较高;(2)二聚体内的质子互换反应,质子分别从一个肟羟基转移到另一个肟的氮上,过渡态为六元环结构,能垒较低,理论反应速度较大,但平衡常数较小;(3)肟羟基与甲醇的质子互换反应,过渡态具有五元环结构,能垒和反应速度介于上述两者之间.结果表明,在3条反应途径上,Z构型和E构型均有类似的过渡态,Z构型有利于偶极体存在.在室温下主要通过二聚体内质子交换进行互变反应,实际体系中由于偶极体不断被消耗,反应可以持续进行.
