Mesoporous materials for drug delivery

Research on mesoporous materials for biomedical purposes has experienced an outstanding increase during recent years. Since 2001, when MCM-41 was first proposed as drug-delivery system, silica-based materials, such as SBA-15 or MCM-48, and some metal-organic frameworks have been discussed as drug carriers and controlled-release systems. Mesoporous materials are intended for both systemic-delivery systems and implantable local-delivery devices. The latter application provides very promising possibilities in the field of bone-tissue repair because of the excellent behavior of these materials as bioceramics. This Minireview deals with the advances in this field by the control of the textural parameters, surface functionalization, and the synthesis of sophisticated stimuli-response systems.     

A Conjugated Copolymer Bearing Imidazolium-based Ionic Liquid:Electrochemical Synthesis and Electrochromic Properties

An imidazolium-based ionic liquid(IL) modified triphenylamine derivative,namely 1-(4-((4-(diphenylamino)benzoyl) oxy)butyl)-3-methyl imidazole tetrafluoroborate(TPAC_6 IL-BF_4),was designed and synthesized,and further applied with 3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene(EDOT)to prepare conjugated copolymer P(EDOT:TPAC_6 IL-BF_4) via electrochemical polymerization.The cyclic voltammetry curves show that the copolymer P(EDOT:TPAC_6 IL-BF_4) possesses two pairs of redox peaks,which should be ascribed to the redox behaviors of EDOT and triphenylamine.The ultraviolet-visible(UV-Vis) absorption spectrum of P(EDOT:TPAC_6 IL-BF_4) exhibits one maximum absorption peak at 580 nm and a small shoulder characteristic peak at 385 nm under neutral state which are assigned to π-π~* conjugated structure of EDOT and triphenylamine.After being applied at the positive voltage,the copolymer color changes from dark blue to light blue,which is close to the color of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)(PEDOT).Surprisingly,the copolymer P(EDOT:TPAC_6 IL-BF_4) shows shorter switching time of 0.37 s,0.30 s at 580 nm and 0.38 s,0.45 s at 1100 nm compared with PEDOT.It is more intriguing that the copolymer P(EDOT:TPAC_6 IL-BF_4) exhibits electrochromism even in free supporting electrolyte.The results confirm that the existence of imidazolium-based ionic liquid has an improvement on the ion diffusion properties and the switching time of conjugated polymer,which may provide a potential direction for the preparation of high-performance electrochromic materials.     

Metal‐Organic Gels Based on Carboxyl‐Functionalized Benzimidazole and Their Stimuli Responsivenesses

Three multi‐responsiveness supramolecular metal‐organic gels (MOGs) have been prepared upon Ba(OAc)₂, CdSO₄·8H₂O and Pb(NO₃)₂ with a simple ligand (G17) based on a carboxyl‐functionalized benzimidazole derivative in alcoholic‐water solutions. The MOGs display the formation of well‐developed nanofibrillar networks composed of intertwined fibers which provide stability to gels structures through coordination, hydrogen bonding and π‐ π interactions characterized by using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), the fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR) spectroscopy and powder X‐ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. MOG‐1 shows good stimuli responsiveness toward the changes in K₂CrO₄, both MOG‐2 and MOG‐3 do good job toward the changes in Na₂S. Moreover, because these MOGs were formed easily by gelator with some heavy metal ion, such as Cd(II) and Pb(II), it might provide the basis for heavy metal ion capture and removal.     

快原子轰击离子化质谱研究酚类化合物抗氧化作用

为了建立简便、快速筛选高效、低毒的新型抗氧化药物的方法,本研究采用快原子轰击离子化质谱( FAB-MS)对酚类化合物抗氧化作用强弱进行了研究。考察了基质、轰击时间和样本浓度对FAB-MS 谱中分子离子(M+·)相对强度的影响,研究了黄酮类化合物在FAB-MS谱中的I(M+·)/I([M+H]+)比值与其抗氧化活性的相关性。对12种酚类化合物的抗氧化活性进行了预测与评价,并与硫代巴比妥酸法( TBA)检测的脂质过氧化抑制率进行比较,验证 FAB-MS 方法的可靠性。结果表明,由 FAB-MS 获得的 I ( M+·)/I([ M+H]+)比值能较好地反映酚类化合物抗氧化作用的强弱,可以作为抗氧化剂的体外筛选或预测方法,有助于加速新型抗氧化药物的发现。     

A temperature and pH double sensitive cholesteric polymer film from a photopolymerizable chiral hydrogen-bonded assembly

In this study, a novel H-bonded cholesteric polymer film responding to temperature and pH by changing the reflection color was fabricated. The H-bonded cholesteric polymer film was achieved by UV-photopolymerizing a cholesteric liquid crystal (Ch-LC) monomers mixture containing a photopolymerizable chiral H-bonded assembly (PCHA). The cholesteric polymer film based on PCHA can be thermally switched to reflect red color from the initial green/yellow color as temperature is increased, which is due to a change in helical pitch induced by the weakening of H-bonded interaction in the polymer film. Additionally, the selective reflection band (SRB) of the cholesteric polymer film in solution with pH > 7 showed an obvious red shift with increasing pH values. While the SRB of the cholesteric polymer film in solutions with pH = 7 and pH < 7 hardly changed. This pH sensitivity in solutions with pH > 7 could be explained by the breakage of H-bonds in the cholesteric polymer film and the structure changes induced by―OH and―K + ions in the alkaline solution. In contrast, it couldn’t happen in the neutral and acidic solutions. The cholesteric polymer film in this study can be used as optical/photonic papers, optical sensors and LCs displays, etc.
