Photophysical process of hexadecyl 4-biphenylamino benzoate

The photophysical properties of hexadecyl 4-biphenylamino benzoate (HBAB), the molecule of which possesses a polar end composed of donor (triphenylamino group) and acceptor (ester group) and a long non-polar alkyl tail, have been carefully studied in different conditions. The results show that the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) emission is given in polar solvents at room temperature and intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) emission is given at 77 K. These can be supported by the solvent effect, temperature effect and the quenching process.     

Photophysical processes of 1,3-dicarbazolypropane

The photophysical processes of 1,3-dicarbazolypropane (DCZP), which possesses two fluorogen, carbazoly, and one carbonic chain composed of three carbon atoms, were studied. The formation of intermolecular excimer, intramolecular excimer and triple exciplexes have been investigated in the system of DCZP and 1,4-dinitrilebenzene (DNB) with steady state fluorescence spectroscopy. The experimental results show that with the addition of DNB into the lower concentration solution of DCZP in benzene, the fluorescence of intramolecular excimer of DCZP, (D-D)*, is quenched while the ((D-D)A)* type triple exciplex (one molecule of DCZP with one molecule of DNB) is formed and with the addition of DNB into higher concentration solution of DCZP, the formation of (DDA)* type triple exciplex (two molecules of DCZP with one molecule of DNB) is also confirmed.     

中子诱发232Th裂变初始碎片质量及动能分布Monte-Carlo研究

随着第四代反应堆以及先进核能利用系统的发展,对中子核数据提出了高精度、多核素、宽能区的新要求.目前,中国核数据评价库(CENDL库)中相关核裂变的数据较缺失,不足以满足当前核能发展的需求.因此,建立面向中子核数据需求的可靠计算方法和工具变得极为重要.本文基于Monte-Carlo方法建立了裂变碎片质量动能计算模型,研究了中低能中子诱发²³²Th(n,f)反应发射中子前裂变碎片的分布特性.对于裂变碎片质量分布,本模型计算结果与实验值最大偏差约1%,与GEF, TALYS程序计算结果 (与实验值最大偏差约2%)相比具有一定优势.对于发射中子前裂变碎片动能分布,本模型计算结果与实验数据一致.结果表明,所发展的计算模型能够较好地预测²³²Th(n,f)反应发射中子前裂变碎片数据,为中子诱发锕系核裂变反应计算提供一种新思路.

Synthesis and evaluation of ursolic acid-based 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines derivatives as anti-inflammatory agents

Here, two series of novel ursolic acid-based 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines derivatives were synthesized and screened for their anti-inflammatory activity by evaluating their inhibition effect of using LPS-induced inflammatory response in RAW 264.7 macrophages in vitro; the effects of different concentrations of the compounds on the secretion of nitric oxide (NO) and inflammatory cytokines including TNF-α and IL-6 were evaluated. Their toxicity was also assessed in vitro. Results showed that the most prominent compound 3 could significantly decrease production of the above inflammatory factors. Docking study was performed for the representative compounds 3, UA, and Celecoxib to explain their interaction with cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) receptor active site. In vitro enzyme study implied that compound 3 exerted its anti-inflammatory activity through COX-2 inhibition.

     

Ilelic Acids A and B, Two Unusual Triterpenes with a Seven-Membered Ring from Ilex latifolia

Two unusual triterpenes, ilelic acids A (1) and B (2), together with their biosynthetic related compounds ilelic acids C (3) and D (4) were isolated from the leaves of Ilex latifolia. Their structures with absolute configurations were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis and modified Mosher's method. The plausible biogenetic pathway of 1 and 2 is proposed. These triterpenes exhibited a potent inhibitory effect on MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells.     

Preparation of weak cation exchange packings for chromatographic separation of proteins using "click chemistry'

"Click chemistry" is defined as a class of robust and selective chemical reactions affording high yields and is tolerant to a variety of solvents (including water), functional groups, and air. In this study, click chemistry was used as an effective strategy for coupling three alkyne-carboxylic acids onto the azide-silica to obtain three novel stationary phases of weak cation exchange chromatography, which were characterized with FTIR and elemental analysis. Six kinds of standard proteins, such as myoglobin, RNase A, RNase B, cytochrome C, α-chymotrypsin A, and lysozyme, were separated completely with the three novel weak cation exchange chromatography stationary phases. Compared with commercial weak cation exchange chromatography columns, the three kinds of novel weak cation exchange chromatography packings prepared by click chemistry approach have better resolution and selectivity. The mass recovery of more than 97% was obtained for all the tested proteins, and the bioactivity recovery of lysozyme on the prepared column was determined to be 96%. In addition, lysozyme was purified successfully from egg white with the novel weak cation exchange chromatography column by one step. The purity was more than 97% and a high specific activity was achieved to be 81 435 U/mg. The results illustrate the potential of click chemistry for preparing stationary phase for ion-exchange chromatography.     

Cell surface glycoprotein profiling of cancer cells based on bioorthogonal chemistry

Bioorthogonal chemistry refers to chemical reactions that can occur within a living system without altering native biochemical processes. Applications of this concept extend to studies on a group of biomolecules that includes glycans, proteins, and lipids. In this study, a strategy for isolating cell surface glycoproteins and based on bioorthogonal chemistry was employed to identify new cancer-related glycoproteins. A novel alkyne reagent containing one disulfide bond was synthesized for the enrichment of glycoproteins metabolized with peracetylated N-azidoacetylmannosamine, which was applied on three different cancer cell lines, and all isolated proteins were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The strategy of purifying cell surface glycoproteins introduced in this article was shown to be reliable, and a total of 56 cell surface glycoproteins were identified. Neuronal cell adhesion molecule was found uniquely expressed in A549 lung adenocarcinoma, and its expression in non-small-cell lung carcinomas was detected by immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, a significant increase of neuronal cell adhesion molecule expression was identified in non-small-cell lung adenocarcinoma compared with adjacent noncancerous tissues, and could be a novel potential target and marker in cancer treatment and detection.
