Screening and isolation of potential lactate dehydrogenase inhibitors from five Chinese medicinal herbs: Soybean,Radix pueraria,Flos pueraria,Rhizoma belamcandae,and Radix astragali

Stroke is among the leading causes of death and severe disability worldwide. Flavonoids have been extensively used in the treatment of ischemic stroke by reducing lactate dehydrogenase levels and thereby enhancing blood perfusion to the ischemic region. Here, we used ultrafiltration high‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detection and mass spectrometry for the rapid screening and identification of flavonoids from five Chinese medicinal herbs: soybean, Radix pueraria, Flos pueraria, Rhizoma belamcandae, and Radix astragali. Using PC12 cells as a suitable in vitro model of toxicity, cell viability was quantitated using the 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. The results showed that the extracts of soybean and the six major components, namely, acetyldaidzin, malonylgenistin, daidiain, glycitin, genistin, and acetylcitin; the extract of R. pueraria and its main component daidzein; the extract of F. pueraria and its three major components, tectorigenin, tectoridin, and tectorigenin‐7‐O‐xylosylglucosid; and the extract of R. belamcandae and its main component, tectoridin, were strong lactate dehydrogenase inhibitors. Also, the components of R. astragali showed no bioactivity. These findings indicate that the ultrafltration high‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detection and mass spectrometry method could be utilized in rapid screening and separation of bioactive compounds from a complex matrix.     

Ultrafiltration‐LC–MS combined with semi‐preparative HPLC for the simultaneous screening and isolation of lactate dehydrogenase inhibitors from Belamcanda chinensis

Stroke represents the fourth leading cause of death in the USA and the second leading cause of death worldwide. Lactate dehydrogenase inhibitors are widely used in the treatment of ischemic stroke and natural products are considered a promising source of novel lactate dehydrogenase inhibitors. In this study, we used PC12 cells to determine the protective effect of extracts from the herb Belamcanda chinensis following toxic challenge. Using ultrafiltration high‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with photo‐diode array detection and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, we screened and identified isoflavonoids from Belamcanda chinensis extracts. Semi‐preparative high‐performance liquid chromatography was then applied to separate and isolate the active constituents. Using these methods, we identified six major compounds in Belamcanda chinensis as lactate dehydrogenase inhibitors: tectoridin, iristectorin A, iridin, tectorigenin, irigenin, and irisflorentin, which were then isolated to >92% purity. This is the first report that Belamcanda chinensis extracts contain potent lactate dehydrogenase inhibitors. Our results demonstrate that the systematic isolation of bioactive components from Belamcanda chinensis guided by ultrafiltration high‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with photo‐diode array detection and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry represents a feasible and efficient technique that could be extended for the identification and isolation of other enzyme inhibitors.     

Highly Contorted 1,2,5‐Thiadiazole‐Fused Aromatics for Solution‐Processed Field‐Effect Transistors: Synthesis and Properties

A straightforward strategy has been used to construct 1,2,5‐thiadiazole‐fused 12‐ring π systems through twofold Stille coupling and subsequent cyclodehydrogenation by utilizing the building blocks of naphthodithiophene and 5,6‐substituted benzo[b]‐2,1,3‐thiadidazole. Molecules 1 a and 1 b , which exhibit highly contorted π surfaces, show a butterfly‐shaped conformation according to DFT calculations. Within the molecules, a plane‐to‐plane angle of 44.8° was found. UV/Vis absorption, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were used to study their physical properties. Strong intermolecular interactions of the nonplanar molecules were also observed by concentration‐dependent ¹H NMR spectroscopy measurements and thin‐film XRD characterization. The low‐lying LUMO and high‐lying HOMO levels of the molecules are ?3.73 and ?5.48 eV, respectively, as estimated from CV measurements; this indicates their potential as semiconducting materials for solution‐processed organic field‐effect transistors (OFETS). A field‐effect hole mobility of up to 0.035 cm² V^?1 s^?1, a threshold voltage of 6.98 V, and a current on/off ratio of 8.65×10⁵ in air for 1 a have been demonstrated with the top‐contact bottom‐gate field‐effect transistor device structures; this represents an important step toward the solution‐processed OFET application of contorted aromatics.

FTIR研究交联聚氨酯脲弹性体的结构对动态性能的影响

用傅立叶变换红外光谱法(FTIR)研究交换PUU的结构指出,化学交联键的存在使得氢键化的NH吸收位置向高波数方向移动,同时羰基区内完全有序的氢键化脲羰基(1642cm-1)吸收较弱,完全有序的氨酯羰基(1693cm-1)吸收谱带观察不到.随着温度的升高,氢键化的NH吸收强度逐渐减弱,谱带吸收位置向高波数方向移动.FTIR结果揭示了交联PUU弹性体内部微相混合程度较线性PUU的高,交联PUU弹性体的回弹性在同温度下小于线性PUU的回弹性,随温度的升高,交联PUU弹性体极性键间的氢键化作用较易破坏,分子的柔顺性增加较快,交联PUU的回弹性增加幅度较大.交联密度越大,回弹性越小,压缩生热越大.硬段含量越高,材料的生热现象越严重.扩链剂的用量增加,对交联PUU的回弹性和压缩生热影响不大,但它显著地改善了PUU的疲劳性能.

Effect of tungsten oxide loading on metathesis activity of ethene and 2-butene over WO<Subscript>3</Subscript>/SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> catalysts

The metathesis of ethene and 2-butene to propene was studied over WO₃/SiO₂ catalysts with various WO₃ loadings (2, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 24 wt%). The 2-butene conversion and propene selectivity increased greatly with WO₃ loading increasing from 2 to 8 wt%, reached maximum at 8–12 wt% WO₃ loading, and then decreased when the WO₃ loading was higher than 12 wt%. From the above results and taking the economics into account, the optimal amount of WO₃ loading was ~8 wt%. The catalysts were characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic techniques to elucidate the effect of different tungsten oxide loadings on the metathesis reactivity of ethene and 2-butene. The characterization data indicated that three types of tungsten species (i.e., surface tetrahedral tungsten species, surface octahedral polytungstate species, and WO₃ crystallites) were present in the catalysts. It was found that WO₃ was not the active centers, and surface tetrahedral tungsten species might be more active than octahedral polytungstate species in metathesis reaction. The reduced form of tungsten species [W⁺⁴, W⁺⁵, and W^+(6−y) (0 < y < 1)] may be the suitable state of W species acting as metathesis active centers.     

Controllable growth of silver nanostructures by a simple replacement reaction and their SERS studies

Hierarchical silver nanostructures, consisting of dendritic (symmetric branched) and fractal patterns (randomly ramified), were synthesized very easily by dropping a droplet of AgNO₃-HF solution on silicon wafers. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and open circuit potential-time (Ocp-t) measurement demonstrated that the two nanostructures converted with the reaction composition. The structural evolution was tentatively explained with the theory that oriented growth was determined by the anisotropy of the solid–liquid interfacial energy and the oriented attachment-based aggregation mechanism. Results on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signals of the silver films with hierarchical nanostructures demonstrate that SERS is sensitive to silver nanostructures.
