Correction: Direct synthesis of the organic and Ge free Al containing BOG zeolite (ITQ-47) and its application for transformation of biomass derived molecules

Aluminosilicate boggsite (Si/Al-BOG) has been hydrothermally synthesized without adding organic structure-directing agents (OSDAs) in the synthesis gel using the borosilicogermanium ITQ-47 (Si/B-ITQ-47) zeolite as seeds. The introduction of the costly and environmentally less benign phosphazene organic structure-directing agent is not required to grow the zeolite. Physicochemical characterization experiments show that Si/Al-BOG has good crystallinity, high surface area, tetrahedral Al³⁺ species, and acid sites. In order to test the catalytic performance of the zeolite, the synthesis of l,l-lactide from l-lactic acid was performed. Si/Al-BOG exhibits 88.2% conversion of l-lactic acid and 83.8% l,l-lactide selectivity, which are better than those of other zeolites studied up to now.

Synthesis and Antitumor Evaluation of Novel Hybrids of Phenylsulfonylfuroxan and Estradiol Derivatives

Fifteen novel furoxan-based nitric oxide (NO) releasing hybrids of estradiol derivatives were synthesized and evaluated in vitro anti-proliferative activity in MDA-MB-231, A2780, Hela and HUVEC cell lines. Most of them displayed potent anti-proliferative effects. Among the compounds, 4-bromo-3-((phenylsulfonyl)-1,2,5-oxadiazole 2-oxide)-oxy-propoxy-estradiol ( 11 b ) exhibited the best activity with IC₅₀ values of 3.58–0.0008 μM. Preliminary pharmacological studies showed that 11 b induced apoptosis and hardly affected the cell cycle of MDA-MB-231 cell line. NO-releasing capacity and inhibition of ERK/MAPK pathway signaling might explain the potent antineoplastic activity of these compounds. The preliminary structure-activity relationship (SAR) showed that steroidal scaffolds with a linker in 3-position were favorable moieties to evidently increase the bioactivities of these hybrids. Overall, these results implied that 11 b merited to be further investigated as a promising anti-cancer candidate.     

Mass spectrometric characteristics and kinetics of iron release in visceral mass of Saccostrea cucullata

Ferritins with electrophoretic homogeneity were prepared from the visceral mass of Saccostrea cucullata in batch. The native PAGE approach showed similar electrophoretic mobility among pig pancreatic ferritin, liver ferritin of Dasyatis akajei, and visceral mass ferritin of Saccostrea cucullata. SDS-PAGE indicated that the Saccostrea cucullata visceral ferritin (SCVF) consisted of a single subunit type and had a molecular weight (MW) of approximately 20 kDa, suggesting that the protein shell in SCVF was composed of a single subunit. In addition, peptide mass fingerprinting and transmission electron microscopy were used to identify SCVF further, and to observe its molecular structure. We found that the molecular structure in SCVF was similar to that of most mammalian ferritins, which are composed of a protein shell and an iron core. The results of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry under the assistance of an acidic matrix, sinapic acid, also showed that SCVF was composed of a single subunit type and its subunit MW was calculated to be 19871.042 Da in the absence of heme. Kinetics analysis revealed that the complete process of iron release fitted the law of a first-order reaction, which is similar to that of most ferritins in mammals. Similar to bacterial ferritin, studies indicated that the shell consisted of a single subunit type and showed similar kinetics of iron release, suggesting that this subunit plays two important roles in iron release and storage, and that it shows different stability and intensity of interaction in carrying out its physiological functions in SCVF.

Biotransformation of deoxyandrographolide (1) by Alternaria alternata AS 3.4578 gave five derivatives identified by spectral methods including 2D NMR as the known dehydroandrographolide (2) and 9beta-hydroxy-dehydroandrographolide (3) and the new compounds 9beta-hydroxy-deoxyandrographolide (4), 3alpha,17,19-trihydroxy-8,13-ent-labdadien-15,16-olide (5) and 3-oxo-9beta-hydroxy-deoxyandrographolide (6).     

Coatings of one monomer molecularly imprinted polymers for open tubular capillary electrochromatography

One monomer molecularly imprinted polymer coatings were first synthesized in fused silica capillary columns with 2-methacrylamidopropyl methacrylate (MAM) as single functional monomer in addition to a cross-linking monomer. Since MAM may generate no or little EOF, a strategy of precursor of polymerization, which does not interfere with the formation of defined imprints, was used to introduce an ionizable functional monomer to generate a stable electroosmotic flow for electrochromatography (CEC) by post-polymerization hydrolization. The resulting MAM-based open-tubular imprinted capillary was able to separate enantiomers by means of CEC. The resolution of enantiomers separation achieved on S-amlodipine-imprinted capillary was up to 16.1. The strong recognition ability (selectivity factor was 3.23) and high column performance (theory plates was 26,053 plates m(-1)) of template were obtained. The MIP coatings were also prepared using either S-naproxen or S-ketoprofen as template molecule. The resolutions of enantiomers separation were 2.20 and 4.56, respectively. The results illustrate that the synthesis of MIP using one monomer is not only an experimental-simplified process, but also an approach to producing chiral stationary phase with high efficiency and selectivity.     

Effects of 3,4-dihydrophenyl groups in water-soluble phospholipid polymer on stable surface modification of titanium alloy

The surface of a titanium (Ti) alloy substrate was modified by a simple and quick process using a water-soluble polymer, and the effects of 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl (DHP) groups in the polymer side chain on the modification process were examined. The polymers (PMDP) composed of both 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) unit and 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl methacrylate unit were synthesized for surface anchoring. The Ti alloy substrate was coated with PMDP using an aqueous solution of the polymer. A PMDP layer with a thickness of 20 nm was formed on the Ti alloy substrate simply by dip coating for 10 s without drying. Even when the Ti alloy substrate with PMDP coating was immersed in the aqueous medium for 1 week, no change in the thickness was observed, i.e., the PMDP layer was bound to the surface very stably. Oxidation of the DHP groups reduced the stability of the polymer layer significantly. Thus, the DHP groups play a significant role in achieving stable binding. Protein was adsorbed on the Ti alloy substrate; however, this was not observed for the PMDP-coated Ti alloy substrate. In conclusion, we confirmed the effects of DHP groups in PMDP on the stability of the coating on the Ti alloy substrate. Moreover, we found that surface treatment using PMDP was simple, quick, and reliable, and thus, it has great potential for improving biofouling of Ti alloy substrates used in medical devices.     

In situ loading of palladium nanoparticles on mica and their catalytic applications

Mica supported Pd nanocatalysts were prepared by a two-step approach, in which SnCl(2) was first grafted onto mica via its reaction with hydroxyl groups on mica, followed by the in situ reduction of Pd(2+) by Sn(2+) on the surface of mica. The as-prepared Pd-Sn/mica catalysts were characterized by different techniques including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ICP analysis. The loaded Pd particles existed in the form of Pd(0) confirmed by XPS analysis, and distributed uniformly on mica with average size about 2.6 nm, as confirmed by TEM examination. The activities of the resultant catalysts for Heck reactions of iodobenzene and its derivatives with olefins and selective hydrogenation of citral were investigated. It was demonstrated that the as-prepared catalysts exhibited very high efficiency for these reactions.
