Limonene (1-methyl-4-(1-methylethenyl)-cyclohexene) is one of the most widespread monocyclic terpenes, being both a natural and industrial compound. It is widely present in the environment, including in water supplies. Therefore, it may be subjected to aqueous chlorination at water treatment stations during drinking water preparation. Besides, being a component of numerous body care and cosmetic products, it may present at high levels in swimming pool waters and could also be subjected to aqueous chlorination. Laboratory experiments with aqueous chlorination of D-limonene demonstrated the prevalence of the conjugated electrophilic addition of HOCl molecule to the double bonds of the parent molecule as the primary reaction. The reaction obeys the Markovnikov rule, as the levels of the corresponding products were higher than those of the alternative ones. Fragmentation pattern in conditions of electron ionization enabled the assigning of the structures for four primary products. The major products of the chlorination are formed by the addition of two HOCl molecules to limonene. The reactions of electrophilic addition are usually accompanied by the reactions of elimination. Thus, the loss of water molecules from the products of various generations results in the reproduction of the double bond, which immediately reacts further. Thus, a cascade of addition-elimination reactions brings the most various isomeric polychlorinated species. At a ratio of limonene/active chlorine higher than 1:10, the final products of aqueous chlorination (haloforms) start forming, while brominated haloforms represent a notable portion of these products due to the presence of bromine impurities in the used NaOCl. It is worth mentioning that the bulk products of aqueous chlorination are less toxic in the bioluminescence test on V. fischeri than the parent limonene. 相似文献

N-Acetyl-(1-ferrocenylethyl)amine (8) was synthesized by N-acylation of (1-ferrocenylethyl)amine (7) in 84% yield. Reaction of N-acetyl-[1-(1′-bromo-ferrocenyl)ethyl]amine (4) (which was prepared by multistep sequence starting from bromoferrocene) with n-BuLi/ClCOOEt gave 77% of N-acetyl-N-ethoxycarbonyl-(1-ferrocenylethyl)amine (6) instead of the expected ethyl 1′-[1-(acetamido)ethyl]ferrocene-1-carboxylate (5). Both structures were undoubtedly confirmed by (HR)MS spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray structure analysis. 相似文献

Genetic engineering allows modification of bacterial and bacteriophage genes, which code for surface proteins, enabling display
of random peptides on the surface of these microbial vectors. Biologic peptide libraries thus formed are used for high-throughput
screening of clones bearing peptides with high affinity for target proteins. There are reports of many successful affinity
selections performed with phage display libraries and substantially fewer cases describing the use of bacterial display systems.
In theory, bacterial display has some advantages over phage display, but the two systems have never been experimentally compared.
We tested both techniques in selecting streptavidin-binding peptides from two commercially available libraries. Under similar
conditions, selection of phage-displayed peptides to model protein streptavidin proved convincingly better. 相似文献

The transmembrane voltage induced due to applied electric field superimposes to the resting transmembrane voltage of the cell. On the part of the cell membrane, where the transmembrane voltage exceeds the threshold transmembrane voltage, changes in the membrane occur, leading to increase in membrane permeability known as electropermeabilization. This part of the cell membrane represents the permeabilized area through which the transport of molecules occurs. In this paper we calculated numerically the permeabilized area for different electric field strength, resting transmembrane voltage, cell shape and cell orientation with respect to the applied electric field. Results show that when the transmembrane voltage is near the threshold transmembrane voltage, the permeabilized area of the cell is increased on the anodic side and decreased on the cathodic side due to the resting transmembrane voltage. In some cases, only anodic side of the cell is permeabilized. Therefore, by using bipolar pulses, the permeabilized area can be significantly increased and consequentially also the efficiency of electropermeabilization. However, when the induced transmembrane voltage is far above the threshold, the effect of the resting transmembrane voltage is negligible. These observations are valid for different cell shapes and orientations. 相似文献

The use of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) in numerous products is increasing, although possible negative implications of their long-term consumption are not known yet. Our aim was to evaluate the chronic, 6-week oral exposure to two different concentrations of ZnO NPs on isolated rat hearts exposed to ischemic-reperfusion injury and on small intestine morphology. Wistar rats of both sexes (n = 18) were randomly divided into three groups: (1) 4 mg/kg ZnO NPs, (2) 40 mg/kg ZnO NPs, and (3) control. After 6 weeks of treatment, the hearts were isolated, the left ventricular pressure (LVP), the coronary flow (CF), the duration of arrhythmias and the lactate dehydrogenase release rate (LDH) were measured. A histological investigation of the small intestine was performed. Chronic exposure to ZnO NPs acted cardiotoxic dose-dependently. ZnO NPs in dosage 40 mg/kg maximally decreased LVP (3.3-fold) and CF (2.5-fold) and increased the duration of ventricular tachycardia (all P < 0.01) compared to control, whereas ZnO NPs in dosage 4 mg/kg acted less cardiotoxic. Goblet cells in the small intestine epithelium of rats, treated with 40 mg ZnO NPs/kg, were enlarged, swollen and numerous, the intestinal epithelium width was increased. Unexpectedly, ZnO NPs in both dosages significantly decreased LDH. A 6-week oral exposure to ZnO NPs dose-dependently increased heart injuries and caused irritation of the intestinal mucosa. A prolonged exposure to ZnO NPs might cause functional damage to the heart even with exposures to the recommended daily doses, which should be tested in future studies. 相似文献

With everyday advances in the field of pharmaceuticals, medicinal plants have high priority regarding the introduction of novel synthetic compounds by the usage of environmentally friendly extraction technologies. Herein, a supercritical CO2 extraction method was implemented in the analysis of four plants (chamomile, St. John’s wort, yarrow, and curry plant) after which the non-targeted analysis of the chemical composition, phenolic content, and antioxidant activity was evaluated. The extraction yield was the highest for the chamomile (5%), while moderate yields were obtained for the other three plants. The chemical composition analyzed by gas chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (GC-HRMS) and liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) demonstrated extraction of diverse compounds including terpenes and terpenoids, fatty acids, flavonoids and coumarins, functionalized phytosterols, and polyphenols. Voltammetry of microfilm immobilized on a glassy carbon electrode using square-wave voltammetry (SWV) was applied in the analysis of extracts. It was found that antioxidant activity obtained by SWV correlates well to 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhidrazine (DPPH) radical assay (R2 = 0.818) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay (R2 = 0.640), but not to the total phenolic content (R2 = 0.092). Effective results were obtained in terms of activity showing the potential usage of supercritical CO2 extraction to acquire bioactive compounds of interest. 相似文献

Gene electrotransfer is an established method for gene delivery which uses high-voltage pulses to increase permeability of cell membrane and thus enables transfer of genes. Currently, majority of research is focused on improving in vivo transfection efficiency, while mechanisms involved in gene electrotransfer are not completely understood. In this paper we analyze the mechanisms of gene electrotransfer by using combinations of high-voltage (HV) and low-voltage pulses (LV) in vitro. We applied different combinations of HV and LV pulses to CHO cells and determined the transfection efficiency. We obtained that short HV pulses alone were sufficient to deliver DNA into cells for optimal plasmid concentrations and that LV pulse did not increase transfection efficiency, in contrast to reported studies in vivo. However, for sub-optimal plasmid concentrations combining HV and LV pulses increased transfection rate. Our results suggest that low-voltage pulses increase transfection in conditions where plasmid concentration is low, typically in vivo where mobility of DNA is limited by the extracellular matrix. LV pulses provide additional electrophoretic force which drags DNA toward the cell membrane and consequently increase transfection efficiency, while for sufficiently high concentrations of the plasmid (usually used in vitro) electrophoretic LV pulses do not have an important role. 相似文献

In this study we present the synthesis and conformational analysis of mono- and disubstituted ferrocene bioconjugates bearing dipeptide chains (Boc-AA-AA-Fn-X, AA=Gly, l-Ala, l-Val). The conformational preferences of novel aminoferrocene derived conjugates with X=H, as well as their 1-acetyl analogues (X=COMe), were investigated by spectroscopic techniques (IR, NMR and CD) and corroborated by DFT calculations. Chirally organized structures, stabilized through intrachain hydrogen bonds, prevail in solution when X=H. The resulting 10-membered hydrogen-bond ring is destabilized by heteroannular introduction of an acetyl group when X=COMe. 相似文献

Isothermal titration calorimetry was used to determine the temperature and concentration dependence of the enthalpy of mixing of 3,3- and 6,6-ionene fluorides, bromides, and iodides with low molecular weight salts (NaF, NaCl, NaBr, and NaI) in water. The magnitudes of the enthalpies, measured in the temperature range from 273 to 318 K, depended on the number of methylene groups on the ionene polyion (hydrophobicity), and on the anion of the added salt (ion-specificity). All enthalpies of mixing of 3,3- and 6,6-ionene fluorides with low molecular weight salts (NaCl, NaBr, and NaI) were negative, which is in contrast to the predictions of standard theories of polyelectrolyte solutions. This fact was interpreted in the light of the ion–water short-range interactions that are not accounted for in those theories. In contrast, the enthalpies of mixing of 3,3- and 6,6-ionene bromides and iodides with NaF were positive, being in accord with theory. Using the calorimetric data, we performed a model thermodynamic analysis of the polyelectrolyte–salt mixing process to obtain changes in the apparent standard Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, entropy, and heat capacity relative to the pure ionene fluorides in water. The results prove that halide ions replace fluoride counterions with a strength increasing in the order chloride < bromide < iodide. The process is enthalpy governed, accompanied by a positive change in the heat capacity. 相似文献
