STUDIES OF ELECTRON SPIN RESONANCE ON BILIRUBIN FREE RADICALS

The nature of ESR signals derived from bilirubin-Ⅸα has been studied by focusing onthe samples treated with free radical generating and inhibiting systems, i.e. X-XOD, Fe/EDTA, SOD, mannitol/ascorbate, CO, KCN, etc. In all the cases, the stable signals comprisethose originated from semiquinone radical (g = 2.0012) and superoxide free radical (g_∥=2.041, g_⊥= 2.0040). The superoxide is shown binding with certain metal ions chelated bybilirubin. The free radical scavengers are able to destroy these radicals. The kinetic curveof the regeneration of bilirubin radicals has been determined and the reaction follows azero order mechanism. It is likely that both the physiological and toxic actions of bilirubinare related to the characters of its free radicals. Bilirubin is discussed as "active oxygensink" in mammalians.     

First Synthesis of 2a-Thiol Ether Analog of Docetaxel

The chemistry of anticancer drug paclitaxel (=Taxol, 1a) has been extensively explored in recent years. A variety of its analogs with modified taxane frame work or substitutions to its core structure, as well as C-13 substituted isoserine side chains have been synthesized and biologically evaluated1. The marketing of docetaxel (=Taxotere, 1b) is one of the fruitful results from these research efforts. The beginning of clinical trial for analog 2 developed by Indena is the new example. Ba…

A New Diterpene Acid from the Flowers of Heteropappus altaicus

A new compound, named heteraltaic acid was isolated from the flowers of Heteropappus altaicus (willd) Novopokr. The compound was elucidated as (5R, 6S, 8aS) -5-[2-(3-furyl) ethyl-5, 6, 8a-trimethyl-4a, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8a -hexahydro-l-naphthalenecarboxylic acid] by the combination of 1D and 2D NMR techniques (HSQC, HMBC) and X-ray analysis.     

An Efficient and Green Synthesis of 5-Oxo-5, 6, 7, 8-tetrahydro- 4H-benzo-[b]-pyran Derivatives Promoted by InCl_3·4H_2O Under Microwave Irradiation

Construction of tetrahydropyran rings has attracted a great deal of interests in organic synthesis in recent years1, since tetrahydropyran moiety constitutes a structural unit in a number of natural products2. In addition, tetrahydropyran derivatives possess wide range of biological activities and pharmacological properties, such as anticancer activity3 and antihypersensitivity4. Many methods for the preparation of such compounds have already been developed5. Among them, condensation of α, β…

REDUCING NONSELECTIVE PROTEIN ADSORPTION AND CELL ADHESION ON POLYACRYLONITRILE FILMS BY COPOLYMERIZATION OF ACRYLONITRILE WITH α-ALLYL GLUCOSIDE

In this work, the surface properties of novel sugar-containing polymers, α-allyl glucoside (AG)/acrylonitrile (AN)copolymers, were studied by contact angle, protein adsorption and cell adhesion measurements. It was found that the contactangle of the copolymer films decreased from 68° to 30° with the increase of AG content in the copolymer. The adsorptionamount of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and the adhesive macrophage onto the film surface also decreased significantly withincreasing α-allyl glucoside content from 0 to 42 wt% in the copolymer. These preliminary results reveal that both thehydrophilicity and the biocompatibility of polyacrylonitrile-based membranes could be improved by copolymerizing acrylonitrile with vinyl carbohydrates.     

Synthesis of porphyrin nitrogen mustards with potential anti-tumor activities in chemotheraphy and photodynamic therapy

2,7,12,18-Tetramethyl-13,17-di[3'-N,N'-di(2"-chloroethyl)aminopropyl]porphin and it's 3,8-di(1'-alkyloxyethyl)-analogous or porphyrin-nitrogen mustards were synthesized for the first time Their structures were determined by spectroscopics and elemental analyses.Most of the compounds possess both the chemotherapeutic and photodynamic effects on tumor and deserve further investigation.
