分子力场进展

分子力学（简称ＭＭ）是近年来化学家常用的一种计算方法。与量子力学从头计算和半经验方法相比，用分子力学处理大分子可以大大节省计算时间，而且，在大多数情况下，用分子力学方法计算得到的分子几何构型参数与实验值之间的差值可在实验误差范围之内。所以，分子力学是研究生物化学体系的有效和可行的手段。分子力学的核心是分子力场。本文介绍了分子力场的量子力学背景、分子力场和光谱力场之间的关系。分子力场的一般形式、分力     

Mimicking primary processes in photosynthesis—covalently linked porphyrin quinones

Porphyrin quinones (P-Qs), covalently linked via different aliphatic bridges, have been synthesized and studies in their (porphyrin) cationic and (semiquinone) anionic radical states by EPR, ENDOR and TRIPLE resonance techniques. Electron transfer (ET) from the porphyrin donor to the quinone acceptor could be observed by time-resolved picosecond fluorescence spectroscopy (singlet ET) and by time-resolved EPR spectroscopy (triplet ET) in isotropic fluid solution and in anisotropic media (liquid crystals and reversed micelles). Steady-state in situ photoexcitation of P-Qs in CTAB cationic reversed micelles yielded the corresponding semiquinone radical anions. In TRITON X-100 reversed micelles both the radical cation of the porphyrin and the radical anion of the semiquinone could be detected, which occured in complete emission. In covalently linked porphyrin flavins ET from the photoexcited porphyrin fragment to the flavin and, in addition, energy transfer from the photoexcited flavin to the porphyrin could be observed.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">In vitro</Emphasis> inhibitory effect of polyoxometalates on human tumor cells

H₇[NiV₁₃O₃₈] was synthesized from K₇[NiV₁₃O₃₈] using an ion exchange method. Then Pr₂H[NiV₁₃O₃₈] was obtained by double decomposition of H₇[NiV₁₃O₃₈] with Pr₂(CO₃)₃. The actual amount of praseodymium measured by elemental analysis coincides with the designed amount of praseodymium in Pr₂H[NiV₁₃O₃₈]. The i.r. spectra suggested that the [NiV₁₃O₃₈]^7– anion did not collapse after the ion exchange and double decomposition. The ⁵¹V n.m.r. spectrum of Pr₂H[NiV₁₃O₃₈] showed four peaks and their ratio of the relative intensity was 4:4:4:1. This result agrees with the chemical environment of V atoms in the [NiV₁₃O₃₈]^7– anion. In vitro antitumor activities of polyoxometalates on several human tumor cells have been investigated using the MTT method. Pr₂H[NiV₁₃O₃₈] is the most effective polyoxometalate tested in this study for inhibiting KB cell. Pr₂H[NiV₁₃O₃₈] also showed remarkable inhibitory effect on some other tumor cells: HCT, Bel, B₁₆, BCAP and ESCL cells. These results indicate that Pr₂H[NiV₁₃O₃₈] is a potent broad spectrum antitumor agent. The structure type of polyoxometalates greatly influences their antitumor activity: the order of structure type for inhibiting KB cell is: [NiV₁₃O₃₈]^7–>[Mo₇O₂₄]^6–>Anderson structure Keggin structure Dawson structure. Moreover, the nature of the polyatom in the polyoxometalates also greatly influences their antitumor activity: the polyatom order for inhibiting KB cell is: V>Mo W. On the other hand, the nature of the counter cation and the heteroatom in the polyoxometalates exerted a relatively small influence on the inhibitory effect against the KB cell, although the praseodymium salt of [NiV₁₃O₃₈]^7– showed a higher antitumor activity than its potassium salt.     

Influence of organic bases on constructing 3D photoluminescent open metal-organic polymeric frameworks

Four three-dimensional non-interpenetrating open coordination frameworks constructed from the CTC ligand (CTC =cis,cis-1,3,5-cyclohexanetricarboxylate) coordinated to metal ions (Mn(II) and Cd(II)): Mn(3)(CTC)(2)(DMF)(2)(1); Cd(3)(CTC)(2)(H(2)O)(3).H(2)O (2); Cd(3)(CTC)(2)(4,4'-bpy)(2)(EG)(2)(3); Cd(3)(CTC)(2)(mu(2)-hmt)(DMF)(C(2)H(5)OH)(H(2)O).2H(2)O (4)(DMF = dimethylformamide and EG = ethylene glycol) have been synthesized by slow evaporation of DMF-C(2)H(5)OH-H(2)O solutions of M(II)(Mn(II) or Cd(II)) and CTC in the presence of the organic bases TEA (triethylamine), TEA, 4,4'-bpy (4,4'-bipyridine) and hmt (hexamethylenetetramine), respectively, and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. The polymer constructed by CTC and Mn(II) exhibits a 3-D architecture with 5 x 9 A channels; the polymer formed by CTC and Cd(II) exists a 3-D extended framework with 9 x 9 A channels; wave-like sheet subunits of the polymer are upheld by 4,4'-bpy ligands resulting in a 3-D framework with 4 x 10 A channels; two-fold alternate sheet subunits of the polymer are interlinked by mu(2)-hmt ligands to form a novel 3-D architecture with 7 x 8 A channels. Polymers exhibit their strongest excitation peaks at 391, 390 and 394 nm, respectively, and their main strong emission peaks are at 543, 460 (with a shoulder peak at about 570 nm) and 557 nm, respectively.     

Rapid and sensitive determination of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine by micellar electrokinetic chromatography with on-line regenerating covalent coating

A rapid, sensitive and reproducible micellar electrokinetic chromatographic method using hexamethyldisilazane as on-line regenerating covalent coating was developed for the quantification of ephedrine (E) and pseudoephedrine (PE). E and PE were derivatized with 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazol for laser-induced fluorescence detection. The on-line regenerating covalent coating formed a combinative double coating with the subsequently produced dynamic SDS coating. The total coating can be easily removed and conveniently regenerated on-line. The simple coating procedure was described. By a series of optimization, a running buffer of 20 mm Na(2)B(4)O(7) + 16 mm SDS was applied for the separation of the derivatives. Linear relationships for E and PE were obtained in the range of 0.044-6.60 microg mL(-1) (correlation coefficients: 0.9975 for E, 0.9981 for PE), and the detection limits for E and PE were 1.71 and 0.67 ng mL(-1), respectively. The separation speed, the reproducibility and the sensitivity were much improved over those of other capillary electrophoresis methods more recently reported. The method was applied to the analysis of the two alkaloids in traditional herbal preparations with recoveries in the range 92.8-104.8%.     

Synthesis and biodistribution of 99mTcN(PDTC)2as a potential brain imaging agent

The preparation of the bis(N-propyl dithiocarbamato) nitrido technetium-99m complex ^99mTcN(PDTC)₂ (PDTC: N-propyl dithiocarbamato) was carried out as a freeze-dried formulation, through a simple procedure involving the initial of ^99mTcO_4- with succinic dihydrazide in the presence of stannous chloride as reducing agent and propylenediamine tetraacetic acid (PDTA) as complexant, followed by the addition of the ligand sodium salt of N-propyl dithiocarbamate to afford the final product. The radiochemical purity of the complex was over 90%, as measured by thin layer chromatography. No decomposition of the complex at room temperature was observed over a period of 12 hours. Its partition coefficient indicated that it was a good lipophilic complex. Biodistribution in mice showed that the complex accumulated in the brain with high uptake. The brain uptake (ID%/g) was 5.07 and the brain/blood ratio 1.34 at 5-minute post-injection. This suggested a potential usefulness of the complex as a brain perfusion imaging agent. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

PEMFC催化剂的研究：自制抗CO中毒Pt-Ru/C电催化剂的性质

用胶体法制备了抗CO中毒PEMFC阳极Pt-Ru/C电催化剂（标记为THYT－2）,对 比研究了THYT－2与Johnson Matthey (JM)公司同类品牌Pt-Ru/C催化剂的电化学及 其它物理化学性能。结果表明,THYT－2电催化剂在甲醇燃料电池和CO／H_2（Φ_ (CO) = 1 * 10~(-4)）的氢氧燃料电池中的电催化行为与JM催化剂相当,但THYT－ 2在低浓度CO氢气燃料中的电池性能更好。两种催化剂的其它物理化学性质具有类 似性：XPS分析结果表明THYT－2和JM催化剂 中都有三种不同价态的Pt存在：即金 属态Pt(0)、氧化态Pt(II)和Pt(IV)。HRTEM测试结果表明两种催化剂的粒径处在2 ～3 mn左右,这可能是它们拥有良好电化学性能的主要原因之一。本文还对催化剂 中Pt与Ru组分的分布和相互作用进行了讨论,提出了改进Pt-Ru/C电催化剂的思路 。     

High-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometric determination of nisoldipine in human plasma

A selective and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (MS) for the determination of nisoldipine in human plasma is first presented. With nimodipine as the internal standard, nisoldipine is extracted from plasma with ethyl acetate. The organic layer is evaporated and the residue is resuspended in the mobile phase of methanol-water (80:20, v/v). An aliquot of 40 microL is chromatographically analyzed on an Agilent ODS C18 reversed-phase column (5 microm, 250- x 4.6-mm i.d.) by means of selected-ion monitoring mode MS. The calibration curve of nisoldipine in plasma exhibits a linear range from 0.5 to 20.0 ng/mL with a correlation coefficient of 0.9995. The limit of detection is 0.2 ng/mL. The within- and between-day variations (relative standard deviation) are less than 9.28% and 11.13% (n = 5), respectively. The developed method is validated through successful use for the analysis of nisoldipine contained in biological fluids resulting from a phase-I human pharmacokinetic study.

Binding of the bioactive component daphnetin to human serum albumin demonstrated using tryptophan fluorescence quenching

Daphnetin (7,8-dihydroxycoumarin), one of the major bioactive components isolated from Daphne koreane Nakai, has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of coagulation disorders. It is also a chelator, an antioxidant and a protein kinase inhibitor. In this paper, a combination of intrinsic fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and circular dichroic (CD) spectroscopy has been used to characterize the binding between daphnetin and human serum albumin (HSA) under physiological conditions with drug concentrations of 6.7 x 10(-6) - 2.3 x 10(-5) mol x L(-1), and a HSA concentration of 1.5 x 10(-6) mol x L(-1). Changes in the CD spectra and FT-IR spectra were observed upon ligand binding, and the degree of tryptophan fluorescence quenching did change significantly in the complexes. These data have proved the change in protein secondary structure accompanying ligand binding. The change in tryptophan fluorescence intensity was used to determine the binding constants. The thermodynamic parameters, the enthalpy change (DeltaH) and the entropy change (DeltaS) were calculated to be -12.45 kJ x mol(-1)and 52.48 J x mol(-1) x K(-1) according to the van't Hoff equation, which indicated that hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions played the main role in the binding of daphnetin to HSA, in accordance with the results of calculations performed on a Silicon Graphics Ocatane2 workstation. In addition, the binding distance between daphnetin and HSA was obtained (4.02 nm) based on the Forster energy transfer theory.
