Syntheses,topological networks and properties of four complexes based on 4-amino-3,5-bis(3-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole ligand

Reactions of metal acetates with 4-amino-3,5-bis(3-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole (3-abpt) and co-ligands gave rise to four new complexes, namely [Zn₂(3-abpt)(beta)(DMF) (H₂O)₂]_n·nH₂O (1), [Zn(3-abpt)(ip)]_n·3nH₂O (2), [Zn(3-abpt)(ip)(H₂O)₂]_n·2nH₂O (3), and [Cu₂(3-abpt)₂(C₆H₅COO)₄(H₂O)₂]_n·2nH₂O (4) (ip = isophthalate, beta = 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate). Compound 1 is a 3D coordination polymer with uncommon 3,4-connected (6².8)₂(6².8².10²) network. Compounds 2–4 are all 1D coordination polymers, which exhibit diversity structures. Compound 2 is a tubular-like chain, 3 is a ring-like network, and 4 is a zigzag chain. Their thermal stabilities and the photoluminescence of 1 have also been investigated.     

New-generation biomedical materials: Peptide dendrimers and their application in biomedicine

Peptide dendrimers are attractive synthetic polymers and have been widely used as a new generation of biomaterials in recent years. Peptide dendrimers, as well as general dendrimers, may be synthesized to reach nano sizes, and display well-defined architectures, highly-branched structures, high density of functional terminal groups, and controllable molecular weights. On the other hand, peptide dendrimers have properties similar to proteins and some special characteristics, such as good biocompatibility, water solubility and resistance to proteolytic digestion. Due to these advantages, peptide dendrimers have received considerable attention in biomedicine. This review focuses on the development of peptide dendrimers with emphasis on their applications both in diagnostics and in therapy.     

Catalytic pyrolysis of Pubescens to phenols over Ni/C catalyst

The pyrolysis of Pubescens over Ni/C catalyst was studied at 350 °C in H₂ flow. The presence of Ni/C catalyst efficiently improved the degradation of raw materials, and produced bio-oil with high content of phenols but low contents of acetic acid, furfural and water. In the reaction, Ni/C catalyst plays the role of catalytic decomposition and catalytic hydrogenation. The existence of the carbon carrier favors the formation of active Ni in small sizes with more defects, which results in high catalytic activity of Ni in biomass decomposition and selective production of phenols.     

Palladium nanoclusters entrapped in polyurea: A recyclable and efficient catalyst for reduction of nitro-benzenes and hydrodechlorination of halogeno-benzenes

Polyurea-entrapped palladium nanoclusters have been prepared by interfacial polymerization in W/O emulsion and showed high thermal stability and chemical stability with the content of 0.12 mmol g^?1 Pd. This catalyst exhibited dual catalytic activity for reduction of nitro compounds and hydrodehalogenation of aromatic chlorides in atmospheric hydrogen with 100% yield for reduction of nitro compounds and >99% yield for hydrodehalogenation of aromatic chlorides. This immobilizing method was particularly effective and eliminated the need of special chelating groups.     

Simultaneous Analysis of Sugars and Polyphenols in Tobacco by CZE with Amperometric Detection Based on a Cu2O/MWCNT-COOH Composite Electrode

A composite electrode was fabricated from Cu₂O powder, carboxyl-functionalized multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-COOH), and paraffin oil in the proportions 51:17:32 (w/w). This composite electrode was used for amperometric detection (CZE–AD) in simultaneous capillary zone electrophoretic analysis of chlorogenic acid, rutin, sucrose, glucose, mannose, and fructose in tobacco samples. Under the optimum conditions, the six analytes could be separated in 100 mmol L^?1 NaOH buffer within 30 min. Good linearity was achieved in the range 1 × 10^?7–1 × 10^?4 mol L^?1 for the two polyphenols and 5 × 10^?6–1 × 10^?3 mol L^?1 for the four sugars. The detection limits (S/N = 3) for the polyphenols and sugars were as low as 10^?8 mol L^?1 and 10^?6 mol L^?1, respectively.     

Establishment of a High Expression of α1A Adrenergic Receptor Cell Membrane Chromatography-RPLC Method for Screening Target Components from Radix Caulophylli

We describe here an analytical method of HEK293 α_1A AR cell membrane chromatography (HEK293 α_1A AR/CMC) combined with reverse phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) for recognition, separation and identification of target components from Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCMs) Radix Caulophylli. The HEK 293 α_1A cells with high expressing α_1A adrenergic receptors were used to prepare the stationary phase in the CMC model. Retention fractions on the α_1A AR–CMC model were collected using an automated fraction collection and injection module (FC/I). And each fraction was analyzed by RPLC under optimized conditions. 5-Methylurapidil (5-MU) and tamsulosin hydrochloride were used as standard compounds to investigate the suitability and reliability of the HEK 293 α_1A AR–CMC–RPLC method prior to screening target component from Radix Caulophylli total alkaloid. The results indicated that caulophine was the target component acting on the α_1A AR. This method could be an efficient way in drug discovery using natural medicinal herbs as a source of novel compounds.     

Syntheses of optically active tetrahydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazol-2-ones and hexahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2(3H)-ones

The reactions of (2S)-2-amino-2-substituted-N-(4-nitrophenyl)acetamides 16a-c, succindialdehyde (13), and benzotriazole afforded enantiopure (3S,5R,7aR)-5-(1H-1,2,3-benzotriazol-1-yl)-3-substituted-1-(4-nitrophenyl)tetrahydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazol-2-ones 17a-c, which were converted by sodium borohydride into (3S,7aR)-3-substituted-1-(4-nitrophenyl)tetrahydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazol-2-ones 18a-c. Chiral (2S)-2-amino-2-substituted-N-(4-methylphenyl)acetamides 12a-d, easily prepared in two steps from N-Boc-alpha-amino acids 10a-d, similarly reacted with glutaraldehyde (20) and benzotriazole to generate 5-benzotriazolyl-3-substituted-hexahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2(3H)-ones 21a-d, which were converted by sodium borohydride directly into optically active 3-substituted-hexahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2(3H)-ones 22a-d.     

An electrochemical DNA hybridization detection assay based on a silver nanoparticle label

A novel, sensitive electrochemical DNA hybridization detection assay, using silver nanoparticles as the oligonucleotide labeling tag, is described. The assay relies on the hybridization of the target DNA with the silver nanoparticle-oligonucleotide DNA probe, followed by the release of the silver metal atoms anchored on the hybrids by oxidative metal dissolution and the indirect determination of the solubilized Ag(I) ions by anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) at a carbon fiber ultramicroelectrode. The influence of the relevant experimental variables, including the surface coverage of the target oligonucleotide, the duration of the silver dissolution steps and the parameters of the electrochemical stripping measurement of the silver(I) ions, is examined and optimized. The combination of the remarkable sensitivity of the stripping metal analysis at the microelectrode with the large number of silver(I) ions released from each DNA hybrid allows detection at levels as low as 0.5 pmol L(-1) of the target oligonucleotides.
