Synthesis, activity evaluation and 3D-QSAR study of some novel derivatives of 4, 5, 6, 7-tetrahydrothieno [3,2-c] pyridine

A series of novel derivatives of 4, 5, 6, 7-tetrahydrothieno [3,2-c] pyridine were synthesized and structurally characterized by 1H NMR and MS. Their in vivo anti-platelet aggregation activities were evaluated. A 3D-QSAR was performed using the CoMFA and the CoMSIA. This model provided useful guidelines for novel anti-platelet thienopyridines design.     

Asymmetric bioreduction of substituted acenaphthenequinones using plant enzymatic systems： A novel strategy for the preparation of （＋）- and （-）-mono hydroxyacenaphthenones

Regio- and enantioselective reduction of substituted acenaphthenequinones were conducted under mild reaction conditions using plant enzymatic systems. A screening of 15 plants allowed the selection of two suitable plants fulfilling enantiocomple- mentarity. The （＋）- and （-）-mono hydroxyacenaphthenones were achieved with high conversion and good enantiomeric purity using peach （Prunus persica （L.） Batsch., conversion 98%, 71% ee） and carrot （Daucus carota L., conversion 95%, 81% ee）, respectively.     

On the viscosity of magnetic fluid with low and moderate solid fraction

The design of a pressurized capillary rheometer operating at prescribed temperature is described to measure the viscosity of magnetic fluids (MFs) containing Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). The equipment constant of the rheometer was obtained using liquids with predetermined viscosities. Experimentally measured viscosities were used to evaluate different equations for suspension viscosities. Deviation of measured suspension viscosities from the Einstein equation was found to be basically due to the influence of spatial distribution and aggregation of Fe3O4 MNPs. By taking account of the coating layer on MNPs and the aggregation of MNPs in MFs, a modified Einstein equation was proposed to fit the experimental data. Moreover, the influence of external magnetic field on viscosity was also taken into account. Viscosities thus predicted are in good agreement with experimental data. Temperature effect on suspension viscosity was shown experimentally to be due to the shear-thinning behavior of the MFs.     

New Sesquiterpenoids from Hedychium yunnanense gagnep

Hedychium yunnannense Gagnep is the unique species of Zingiberaceae occurring only in Yunnan province of China and its wild resource is very abundant. Several sesquiterpenoids and diterpenoids from the petroleum ether fraction of the ethanol extract of the plant have been reported1, 2 by Zhao Qing et al. Some of them show antioxidant and cytotoxic activities. In order to use the wild plant resources efficiently, we made further systematic investigations on the chemical constituents of the rh…     

Synthesis and characterization of amphiphilic block–graft MPEG‐b‐(PαN3CL‐g‐alkyne) degradable copolymers by ring‐opening polymerization and click chemistry

A straightforward strategy is proposed for the synthesis of novel, amphiphilic block–graft MPEG‐b‐(PαN₃CL‐g‐alkyne) degradable copolymers. First, the ring‐opening polymerization of α‐chloro‐ε‐caprolactone (αClCL) was initiated by hydroxy‐terminated macroinitiator monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG) with SnOct₂ as the catalyst. In a second step, pendent chlorides were converted into azides by the reaction with sodium azide. Finally, various kinds of terminal alkynes were reacted with pendent azides by copper‐catalyzed Huisgen's 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition, and thus a “click” reaction. These copolymers were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), ¹H NMR, IR, and gel permeation chromatography. By fixing the length of the MPEG block and increasing the length of PαClCL (or PαN₃CL) block, an increase tendency in T_gs was observed. However, the copolymers of MPEG‐b‐PαClCL and MPEG‐b‐PαN₃CL were semicrystalline when the M_n of MPEG was above 2000 g mol^?1. The block–graft copolymers formed micelles in the aqueous phase with critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) in the range of 1.4–12.0 mg L^?1 depending on the composition of polymers. The lengths of hydrophilic segment influence the shape of the micelle. The mean hydrodynamic diameters of the micelles from dynamic light scattering were in the range of 90–160 nm. In vitro hydrolytic degradation of block–graft copolymers is faster than the corresponding block copolymers. The drug entrapment efficiency and the drug loading content of micelles depending on the composition of block–graft polymers were described. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Intra-superframe power management for IEEE 802.15.3 WPAN

Power management (PM) is critical for the portable devices in IEEE 802.15.3 wireless personal area networks (WPAN). Due to the property of TDMA based MAC of 802.15.3, one of the key issues for PM is to schedule the order of the multiple streams among multiple users to minimize the total wakeup times. In this paper, we reveal that this PM problem is in general a Hamilton path problem. With the aid of graph theory, we derive the lower bound and upper bound for the minimum wakeup times. Then, an efficient MDS (min-degree searching) algorithm is proposed to find the suboptimal order. The simulation results show that the MDS algorithm is usually near-optimal and can actually achieve the lower bound in most cases and performs much better than the existing approach.     

Water structure at interfaces: the present situation

This paper discusses the structure of adsorbed water at interfaces. It begins with a review of the development of the research, then examines and compares some of the most important models in this field. The results of recent spectroscopic work, especially those of IR spectroscopy, are discussed and applied to the selection of the most probable model.     

Studies on the Combined Derivative Spectrophotometry

The combined derivative spectrophotometry developed in this paper is a new method, which can be used to determine multicomporent mixture simultaneously and may improve the sensitivity and accuracy of the measurement remarkably. Two practical tests were carried out to verify the correctness of the theory, and the results are satisfactory.
