Fabrication of red-emitting CaAlSiN3: Eu2+ through phosphor-in-glass approach for application in rear combination lamp

In this study, the red-emitting phosphor-in-glass (PiG) using the CaAlSiN₃: Eu²⁺ (CASN) phosphor is reported for the first time. The CASN: Eu²⁺ PiG samples with a maximum luminous flux of 25.1–29.4 for l minute at laser power of 1 W/mm² was obtained using a low-temperature glass frit and GPS furnace. Despite the increase in the phosphor from 15 to 25 wt%, the PiG produced at low temperature of 380 °C showed robust properties. Finally, the red PiG module designed for rear lamp applications maintains over 90% lumens for a minute at 350 mA and achieves an intense red light having a color temperature of 4589 K.     

棱镜自重变形对波面影响的研究

采用有限元方法分析了单棱镜在重力作用下三个典型位置的表面变形,对棱镜表面Φ425mm通光孔径轴向变形量进行Zernike多项式拟合,画出了相应的波差图,并确定设计方案.进一步选择Φ360 mm口径光束对双棱镜在几种典型相对位置下进行光线采样、追迹,计算得到不同情况下由于双棱镜自重变形引起的总波差.

Secondary Metabolites,including a New 5,6-Dihydropyran-2-One,Produced by the Fungus Diplodia corticola. Aphicidal Activity of the Main Metabolite,Sphaeropsidin A

An undescribed 5,6-dihydropyran-2-one, namely diplopyrone C, was isolated and characterized from the cultures of an isolate of the fungus Diplodia corticola recovered from Quercus suber in Algeria. The structure and relative stereostructure of (5S,6S,7Z,9S,10S)-5-hydroxy-6-(2-(3-methyloxiran-2-yl)vinyl)-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-one were assigned essentially based on NMR and MS data. Furthermore, ten known compounds were isolated and identified in the same cultures. The most abundant product, the tetracyclic pimarane diterpene sphaeropsidin A, was tested for insecticidal effects against the model sucking aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum. Results showed a toxic dose-dependent oral activity of sphaeropsidin A, with an LC₅₀ of 9.64 mM.     

Recent Advances in Divergent Synthetic Strategies for Indole-Based Natural Product Libraries

Considering the potential bioactivities of natural product and natural product-like compounds with highly complex and diverse structures, the screening of collections and small-molecule libraries for high-throughput screening (HTS) and high-content screening (HCS) has emerged as a powerful tool in the development of novel therapeutic agents. Herein, we review the recent advances in divergent synthetic approaches such as complexity-to-diversity (Ctd) and biomimetic strategies for the generation of structurally complex and diverse indole-based natural product and natural product-like small-molecule libraries.

Recent Advances in the Antiproliferative and Proapoptotic Activity of Various Plant Extracts and Constituents against Murine Malignant Melanoma

Although conventional medicine, chemical drug synthesis and pharmaceutical research are advancing at a rapid pace, nature remains a major supplier of biological molecules. Natural bioactive compounds are studied closely especially as an alternative to the limitations of conventional therapy in many diseases, melanoma being one of them. Malignant melanoma is a highly aggressive type of cancer, and the current methods of treatment used are cryotherapy, external surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, biological therapy, and targeted drug therapy. Unfortunately, these treatment methods are often inefficient, extremely expensive and cause many side effects, which is why focusing on melanoma chemoprevention and adjuvant therapy with natural herbal phytoconstituents is an emerging strategy to prevent, cure or treat melanoma. This review aims to examine the latest discoveries in terms of potential natural bioactive compounds that possess important activity against the development and spread of murine melanoma cancer. In particular, the use of different phytochemicals such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, anthocyanins, terpenoids, essential oils and carotenoids in vitro and in vivo models will be discussed. These data are helpful in guiding researchers in the direction of studying phytonutrients with important effects in the prevention and treatment of melanoma.     

Synthesis of New Phenolic Derivatives of Quinazolin-4(3H)-One as Potential Antioxidant Agents—In Vitro Evaluation and Quantum Studies

Considering the important damage caused by the reactive oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen (RNS) species in the human organism, the need for new therapeutic agents, with superior efficacy to the known natural and synthetic antioxidants, is crucial. Quinazolin-4-ones are known for their wide range of biological activities, and phenolic compounds display an important antioxidant effect. Linking the two active pharmacophores may lead to an increase of the antioxidant activity. Therefore, we synthesized four series of new hybrid molecules bearing the quinazolin-4-one and phenol scaffolds. Their antioxidant potential was evaluated in vitro, considering different possible mechanisms of action: hydrogen atom transfer, ability to donate electrons and metal ions chelation. Theoretical quantum and thermodynamical calculations were also performed. Some compounds, especially the ortho diphenolic ones, exerted a stronger antioxidant effect than ascorbic acid and Trolox.
