Bisbakuchiols A and B, novel dimeric meroterpenoids from Psoralea corylifolia

Two novel dimeric meroterpenoids, bisbakuchiols A and B, along with (S)-bakuchiol were isolated from the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia L. (Fabaceae). Bisbakuchiols A and B contain an unprecedented dimeric meroterpenoid skeleton in which two meroterpenes are linked through a dioxane bridge. All compounds were evaluated for their potential to inhibit hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) activation induced by hypoxia in a HIF-1-mediated reporter gene assay in AGS human gastric cancer cells. (S)-Bakuchiol inhibited hypoxic activation of HIF-1 with an IC₅₀ value of 6.1 μM.     

A new study of the degradation of hyaluronic acid by hyaluronidase using quartz crystal impedance technique

A new quartz crystal impedance sensing technique for the assay of hyaluronidase (HAse) activity is presented. It is based on the changes in viscosity and density during the enzymatic hydrolysis of hyaluronic acid (HA) by HAse. The variations of equivalent circuit parameters of piezoelectric quartz crystal (PQC) during the enzymatic degradation are discussed. The motional resistance shift curves indicate that the viscosity of the test solutions decreases during the hydrolysis process. The initial hydrolysis rates of HA are obtained from changes in viscosity and density as a function of incubation time. Kinetic parameters (the Michaelis constant K(m) and the maximum hydrolysis rate V(max)) of the degradation reaction are estimated by using a linear Lineweaver-Burk plot in this work. The K(m) was 0.44+/-0.03 mg.ml(-1) and the V(max) was -(5.29+/-0.36)x10(-3) kg.m(-2).s(-1/2).min(-1).

Investigation of the effects of Au-colloid modification on cobalt hexacyanoferrate film growth and mass transport by electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance

The growth of cobalt hexacyanoferrate (CoHCF) films on bare and Au-colloid-modified electrodes in nitrate or sulfate solutions was monitored by electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance. The average efficiency of CoHCF film growth for Au colloid modified electrodes is 23 and 12 ng cm(-2) s(-1) in KNO3 and K2SO4 solutions, respectively, while those values for the bare gold electrode are 15 and 9 ng cm(-2) s(-1), respectively. In K2SO4 solution, the apparent molar masses for the Au-colloid-modified electrode at lower and higher potential is 58.4 and 37.3 g mol(-1), respectively, which is larger than those for the bare gold electrode (51.7 and 26.3 g mol(-1), respectively). The respective results were also obtained in KNO3 solution. Furthermore, the difference of the apparent molar masses at lower and higher potential for Au-colloid-modified electrodes is smaller than that for bare gold electrodes in the same electrolyte. Additionally, the mechanism of charge propagation is dependent on different anions in electrolyte solutions at higher potentials where the second redox reaction of CoHCF occurs. Therefore, the existence of Au colloids can accelerate CoHCF film growth and weaken the effect of anions on mass transport.

Quantum dot nanocrystals for in vivo molecular and cellular imaging

Semiconductor quantum dots (QD) are nanometer-sized crystals with unique photochemical and photophysical properties that are not available from either isolated molecules or bulk solids. In comparison with organic dyes and fluorescent proteins, QD are emerging as a new class of fluorescent labels with improved brightness, resistance against photobleaching and multicolor fluorescence emission. These properties could improve the sensitivity of biological detection and imaging by at least 10- to 100-fold. Further development in high-quality near-infrared-emitting QD should allow ultrasensitive and multicolor imaging of molecular targets in deep tissue and living animals. Here, we discuss recent developments in QD synthesis and bioconjugation, applications in molecular and cellular imaging as well as promising directions for future research.
