Antioxidative Effect of Schiff Bases with o-Hydroxybenzylidene Groupon Free Radical Induced Hemolysis of Human Red Blood Cell

IntroductionThe recent development of free radical biologyand medicine has provided a great deal of clinicaland experimental evidence indicating that the freeradical induced peroxidation of membrane lipids isassociated with a variety of chronic healthproblems,such as cancer,atherosclerosis andageing[1,2 ] . Both natural and synthetic antioxidantshave been used to trap peroxyl radicals and/orinitiating radicals to protect the membrane lipidsagainst free radical chain reactions,and hence mayhave…     

Synthesis and cytotoxic activity of novel curcumin analogues

Five novel curcumin analogues bearing different substituents at 4-position of phenyl group were synthesized. Their structures were confirmed by NMR and HRMS spectrum. Their cytotoxic activities against six tumor cell lines were tested by the standard MTT assay in vitro. The results indicated that four analogues （1A-1C, 1E） with solubilizing moieties showed selective potent cytotoxicity against HepG2, HeLa and CT26 cell lines, and analogue 1A and 1C exhibited more potent cytotoxicity than curcumin against CT26 cell line. It was suggested that introduction of appropriate substituents to 4-position of phenyl group might be a potential option for structural modification of curcumin.

Basic Functionalization of Hexagonal Mesoporous Silica

Recently, a novel method of modification, i.e., functionalizing the internal surface of mesoporous materials has been reported1-5, owing to the large pore size, the silanol groups, which are in a big population in mesoporous materials, can chemically couple with the active groups of some bulky organic functional molecules. Based on this approach, one can obtain novel solid basic catalysts. Here we functionalized the hexagonal and hexagonal-like mesoporous silica materials SBA-3 and HMS wi…     

Polybinaphthyls of (R)-3,3′-Diiodo-2,2′-binaphtho-20-crown-6 with p-Divinylbenzene via Heck Cross-coupling Reaction

IntroductionFunctional polymers bearing chiral moietiesand the extended conjugatedπ system have attract-ed considerable attention during the pastdecade[1,2 ] .The enantiodifferation properties ofsuch macromolecules give rise to multiple applica-tions in the fields of asymmetric catalysis,chiralsensors,polarized light emission and nonlinear op-tical materials[3 ,4] .Especially the incorporation ofoptically active binaphthyls in the main chain ofconjugated polymers can lead to an efficient ands…

ESR Approach to the Nature of Solvation by Using s-Butyl n-Heptafluorobutyryl Nitroxide Probe

Because the solvent dependency of aN, g factors and line widths of some bulky and stable di-t-alkyl nitroxides1, ESR has been proved to be a useful tool in searching for the nature of medium effects ( solvation ) to chemical reactivity. A large number of fluorinated nitroxides with a wide variety of structures have been generated and subjected to extensive studies in our laboratory2. Amongst, t-butyl perfluoroalkyl nitroxides, much less hindered, with noβ-H atoms, have been employed as sp…     

Synthesis of Quinolone Analogues: 7-[(2S,4R)-2-Aminomethyl-4- hydroxypyrrolidin-1-yl] Quinolones

Quinolone antibacterial agents have emerged as one of the dominant classes chemotherapeutic drugs for the treatment of various bacterial infections1. We have focused our attention on the modification of the C-7 basic group of the quinolone which has been most varied. In 1987, Uno et al.2 reported that 3-hydroxypyrrolidine quinolones showed more active antibacterial activities than Norfloxacin in vivo. In 1998, Fujita et al.3 reported that 2-aminomethylpyrrolidine quinolones have the same …     

Impedance Characterization of Adsorption Process of Calmodulin on Au Substrate and its Combination with Ca~(2+)

Recently, the adsorption behavior of protein on solid substrate has attracted much attention for the reason that adsorption on a substrate is the first key step for other further electrochemical investigation1. Meanwhile the free adsorption could provide a relative well-ordered structure, with which some fundamental study could be carried out conveniently2. As we know, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) method has become one of the powerful techniques to detect the change of i…
