Anthraquinones from the Aerial Parts of Rubia cordifolia with Their NO Inhibitory and Antibacterial Activities

The present study aimed to identify the composition of the aerial parts of Rubia cordifolia L. A chemical investigation on the EtOAc extracts from the aerial parts of Rubia cordifolia resulted in the isolation of four new anthraquinones, namely Cordifoquinone A–D (1–4), along with 16 known anthraquinones. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of NMR and HR-ESIMS data. All isolates were assessed for their inhibitory effects on NO production in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. Compounds 1, 3 and 10 exhibited significant inhibitory activities with IC₅₀ values of 14.05, 23.48 and 29.23 μmol·L⁻¹, respectively. Their antibacterial activities of four bacteria, Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus (ATCC 29213), Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica (ATCC 14028) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853), were also evaluated. Our results indicated that the antibacterial activity of these compounds is inactive.     

Design,Synthesis, and Cytotoxic Activity of Novel Natural Arylsulfonamide-Inspired Molecules

Primary arylsulfonamide functional groups feature prominently in diverse pharmaceuticals. However, natural arylsulfonamides are relatively infrequent. In this work, two novel arylsulfonamide natural products were first synthesized, and then a series of novel molecules derived from natural arylsulfonamides were designed and synthesized, and their in vitro cytotoxic activities against A875, HepG2, and MARC145 cell lines were systematically evaluated. The results indicate that some of these arylsulfonamide derivatives exhibit significantly good cytotoxic activity against the tested cell lines compared with the control 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), such as compounds 10l, 10p, 10q, and 10r. In particular, the potential molecule 10q, containing a carbazole moiety, exhibited the highest inhibitory activity against all tested cell lines, with IC₅₀ values of 4.19 ± 0.78, 3.55 ± 0.63, and 2.95 ± 0.78 μg/mL, respectively. This will offer the potential to discover novel drug-like compounds from the sparsely populated area of natural products that can lead to effective anticancer agents.

钪与氧空位共掺杂锐钛矿相TiO2的形成能与电子结构的第一性原理研究

采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理研究了钪(Sc)、氧空位(O_V)单/共掺杂锐钛矿相TiO₂,对晶体结构、形成能以及电子结构进行了对比分析.研究结果表明,Sc-TiO₂在富氧环境下缺陷形成能为负值,富钛环境下缺陷形成能为正值,表明Sc-TiO₂只能在富氧环境下制备;O_V-TiO₂、Sc-O_V-TiO₂在富氧或富钛环境下缺陷形成能均为负值,但富氧环境下形成能更低;O_V-TiO₂的0/1-缺陷电荷转变能级为深能级,而Sc-TiO₂的0/1-缺陷电荷转变能级则属于相对较浅能级;与纯锐钛矿相TiO₂相比,Sc-TiO₂的禁带宽度略有减小,但O_V-TiO₂、Sc-O_V-TiO₂禁带宽度变宽.     

稀土X (X=La、Ce、Pr、Nd)修饰单层h-MoS2的NO气敏性

为提高h-MoS₂对NO的气敏性,采用第一性原理研究了X(X=La、Ce、Pr和Nd)对h-MoS₂的稳定性、吸附特性、功函数和伏安特性的影响.研究结果表明：X(X=La、Ce、Pr和Nd)取代Mo原子后得到的形成能均为负,说明掺杂体系容易形成且稳定存在.同时X掺杂后的h-MoS₂布居数相比于未掺杂前的大,也说明掺杂有利于体系稳定.NO吸附在La、Ce原子顶部位置的吸附能为-1.215 eV、-1.225 eV,吸附距离分别为2.475?、2.854?,具有明显的化学吸附特征.同时Hirshfeld转移电荷分别为0.213e和0.325e,具有明显的受体特征,提高了气敏性.La和Ce掺杂后能明显改变功函数的大小,也说明La和Ce能提高h-MoS₂对NO的气敏性.施加电场后能有效提高Pr掺杂体系的吸附强度,增大Hirshfeld转移电荷,对功函数的改变最大,所以电场对Pr掺杂体系的影响非常明显.通过分析掺杂体系的伏安特性曲线,La、Ce两掺杂体系的电流分别由0增大到5.3μA和4.8μA,而Pr、Nd...

The Link between Stochastic Differential Equations with Non-Markovian Coefficients and Backward Stochastic Partial Differential Equations

In this paper, we conjecture and prove the link between stochastic differential equations with non-Markovian coefficients and nonlinear parabolic backward stochastic partial differential equations, which is an extension of such kind of link in Markovian framework to non-Markovian framework.Different from Markovian framework, where the corresponding partial differential equation is deterministic, the backward stochastic partial differential equation here has a pair of adapted solutions, and thus the link has a much different form. Moreover, two examples are given to demonstrate the applications of the derived link.
