手性单Schiff碱大环对青霉胺对映体识别研究

大量手性药物分子均具有D-和L-对映异构体, 呈镜像结构的对映体通常表现出截然不同的生理学反应. 青霉胺(Pen)是从青霉素中获取的一种常见的手性药物, 研究者为了实现这两种对映异构体严格区辨和分析一直在不断付出努力. 基于含有NH功能基的手性席夫碱大环化合物具有合成条件温和、结构收敛的优点, 本工作报道了含NH功能基的手性单Schiff碱大环对映异构体的合成(C_R和C_S)及其对小分子青霉胺对映体(D-Pen和L-Pen)的键合作用及对映体识别选择性. 通过X射线单晶衍射技术解析了单Schiff碱大环对映异构体的晶体结构, 结果表明这两个大环对映体均具有扭曲的非平面构型, 环状骨架中与环己基手性碳相连的亚胺(NH)质子均指向环腔内侧. 采用紫外可见光吸收光谱(UV-Vis)和核磁共振氢谱(¹H NMR)滴定技术对手性大环与青霉胺对映体之间相互作用行为进行考察, 表明手性大环与青霉胺不同对映体键合比均为1∶1, 键合常数接近10⁷ L•mol^-1, 电喷雾电离质谱法(ESI-MS)表征观察到大环与青霉胺按1∶1键合的缔合物[C-Pen+H]⁺的分子离子峰. ¹H NMR滴定表明手性大环与青霉胺对映体之间的缔合源于大环结构中不对称NH功能基与青霉胺对映体之间形成分子间氢键作用. 通过手性大环与青霉胺对映异构体之间的键合常数比较, 表明大环C_R对L-Pen具有更高的选择性键合能力, 而C_S则对D-Pen表现出更高的选择性键合能力, 选择性键合常数比均接近2倍. 进一步通过圆二色光谱(CD)滴定考察, 阐释了手性大环与青霉胺对映体选择性键合作用能力与两者之间对映体结构的手性匹配性质密切相关, 主体大环对与其手性相匹配青霉胺对映体表现出较高的键合作用能力, 而与手性不相匹配的青霉胺对映体键合作用则相对较弱.     

一例喹喔啉酰腙荧光探针对锌离子的选择性高灵敏识别及细胞成像应用

通过缩合反应制备了一例席夫碱荧光探针2-喹喔啉甲醛缩2-吡啶酰肼(1),使用核磁共振氢谱和碳谱及质谱等手段表征了探针的结构。荧光光谱分析表明,探针1自身无荧光,而Zn²⁺能够导致其在500 nm处出现强发射峰。该荧光增强能够在常见阳离子中选择性检测Zn²⁺,检测限低至0.16μmol·L^-1。通过核磁、质谱和紫外等手段推测了探针1与Zn²⁺可能的配位模式。通过单晶X射线衍射解析了1-Zn²⁺配合物的晶体结构,进一步确认了探针的配位行为。1-Zn²⁺晶体中探针分别采取ONN和NN配位模式螯合2个Zn²⁺,并由桥联CH₃O^-和Cl^-连接形成一维链状结构。此外,该探针还可用于活细胞中Zn²⁺的检测。     

Organotellurium(IV) complexes of N-methylisatin-o-aminothiophenol Schiff base: Preparation,characterization, DFT,molecular docking studies,antimicrobial and antioxidant activity

The reactions of organotellurium(IV) chlorides (RTeCl₃ and R₂TeCl₂) with Schiff base(NMeIATP) derived by condensation of N-methylisatin with 2-aminothiophenol results in the formation of new organotellurium(IV) complexes (4a-4f) of type RTeCl₂.NMeIATP and R₂TeCl.NMeIATP (where R = 4-Methoxyaryl, 4-Hydroxyaryl and 3-Methy-4-hydroxyaryl; aryl = phenyl). These complexes were characterized by different experimental and spectroscopic techniques like elemental analyses, molar conductance, SEM analysis, FT-IR, DFT calculations, powder X-ray diffraction, mass spectrometry, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, UV–Vis and Thermogravimetric analysis. These spectroscopic studies revealed that ligand acted as monobasic tridentate ligand coordinated with tellurium metal through Carbonyl oxygen, azomethine nitrogen and sulphur atom from the 2-aminothiophenol ring. The molecular geometries of NMeIATP and its organotellurium(IV) complexes(4a-4f) were optimized and quantum mechanical parameters were calculated by using DFT/B3LYP basis sets in Guassian09 program. Based on the spectral results, suitable geometries of the complexes are purposed. Molecular docking studies were carried out to determine the binding energy between NMeIATP and complexes with receptor proteins: S. aureus (3ty7), B. subtilis (5h67) and E. coli (3t88). Antioxidant activity of NMeIATP and organotellurium(IV) complexes were evaluated by DPPH assay. The radical scavenging activity(IC₅₀ value) of complex 4a (IC₅₀ = 59.08 μg/ml) was found to be greater than other compounds. NMeIATP and organotellurium(IV) complexes were tested against different bacteria and fungi. MIC values show that complexes possess better antimicrobial activity than Schiff base (NMeIATP).     

A furan-derived epoxy thermoset with inherent anti-flammability,degradability, and raw material recycling

The production of multifunctional thermosets with flammability, degradability and raw material recycling from epoxy thermosets made from renewable resources is one of the hottest topics in the context of sustainable development. In this work, we fabricated a fully bio-based epoxy thermoset by curing an as-synthesized furan-derived epoxy monomer (HMF-DDDS-EP) with a furan-based hardener (DFA). Owing to its unique structure containing a Schiff base and disulfide bonds, the cured HMF-DDDS-EP/DFA thermoset integrates a high glass transition temperature, high tensile strength, inherent anti-flammability, degradability, and recyclability. Specifically, a glass transition temperature as high as 171 °C, tensile strength of 62.9 MPa, a storage modulus of 2,356 MPa and outstanding anti-flammability (UL-94 V-0 rating and high LOI of 36.0%) were observed for this fully bio-based epoxy thermoset. Additionally, it was capable of degrading under mildly acidic conditions because of the cleavage of the Schiff base into the original aldehyde monomer. This fully bio-based epoxy thermoset can be considered a representative for fostering the synthesis of advanced thermosetting materials derived from renewable resources.     

Predicting a New Δ-Proton Sponge-Base of 4,12-Dihydrogen-4,8,12-triazatriangulene through Proton Affinity,Aromatic Stabilization Energy,and Aromatic Magnetism

Herein, we report designing a new Δ (delta-shaped) proton sponge base of 4,12-dihydrogen-4,8,12-triazatriangulene (compound 1 ) and calculating its proton affinity (PA), aromatic stabilization, natural bond orbital (NBO), electron density ρ(r), Laplacian of electron density ∇²ρ(r), (2D-3D) multidimensional off-nucleus magnetic shielding (σ_zz(r) and σ_iso(r)), and scanning nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS_zz and NICS). Density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p), ωB97XD/6-311+G(d,p), and PW91/def2TZVP were used to compute the magnetic shielding variables. In addition, relevant bases like pyridine, quinoline, and acridine were also studied and compared. The protonation of compound 1 yields a highly symmetric carbocation of three Hückel benzenic rings. Comparing our findings of the studied molecules showed that compound 1 precedes others in PA, aromatic isomerization stabilization energy, and basicity. Therefore, the basicity may be enhanced when a conjugate acid gains higher aromatic features than its unprotonated base. Both multidimensional σ_zz(r) and σ_iso(r) off-nucleus magnetic shieldings outperformed electron-based techniques and can visually monitor changes in aromaticity that occur by protonation. The B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p), ωB97XD/6-311+G(d,p), and PW91/def2TZVP levels showed no significant differences in detailing isochemical shielding surfaces.     

Cytotoxic urea Schiff base complexes for multidrug discovery as anticancer activity and low in vivo oral assessing toxicity

Novel mononuclear complexes 2–8 derived from hybrid Urea Schiff base HL were synthesized using various metal Ni²⁺, Fe³⁺, Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Mn²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Cr³⁺. The results revealed the ligand HL reacts with metal ions as monobasic or neutral monodentate chelator it via the nitrogen of azomethine and deprotonated/protonated phenolic oxygen atom adopting octahedral geometry. The elemental analysis of the complexes showed the bonding of the ligand with the metal ions in a ratio of 1: 1 in all-metal complexes. XRD analysis of the ligand and its complexes indicate a monoclinic, tetragonal, orthorhombic corresponding to urea Shiff base (1) and zinc complex (7), nickel complex (2), and cobalt complexes (5), respectively. The bioactivity of synthesized compounds was tested and screened against three cancer cell lines PC3 (prostate), SK-OV-3 (ovarian), and HeLa (cervical). The results revealed a weak activity for the ligand, whereas nickel and iron complexes present moderate activities against three cancer cells. The best results were mentioned with copper and proved the best results against three cancer cells PC3, SKOV3, and HeLa displaying an excellent activity with IC₅₀ values of 0.71 ± 0.06, 0.12 ± 0.06, and 0.79 ± 0.23 μg/mL respectively. Moreover, the urea Schiff base complexes showed good safety in vivo toxicity test. The present study demonstrates that all urea Schiff base complexes is inactive against saint tissue and five metal complexes investigated herein can be effective and promising chemotherapeutic drugs for ovarian cancer cell SKOV3, emphasizing the copper-urea Schiff base complex.     

Carboxylate Catalyzed Isomerization of β,γ-Unsaturated N-Acetylcysteamine Thioesters**

We demonstrate herein the capacity of simple carboxylate salts – tetrametylammonium and tetramethylguanidinium pivalate – to act as catalysts in the isomerization of β,γ-unsaturated thioesters to α,β-unsaturated thioesters. The carboxylate catalysts gave reaction rates comparable to those obtained with DBU, but with fewer side reactions. The reaction exhibits a normal secondary kinetic isotope effect (k_1H/k_1D=1.065±0.026) with a β,γ-deuterated substrate. Computational analysis of the mechanism provides a similar value (k_1H/k_1D=1.05) with a mechanism where γ-reprotonation of the enolate intermediate is rate determining.     

Crystal feature and spectral characterization of Zn(II) complexes containing Schiff base of Acylpyrazolone ligand with antimalarial action

With association of acylpyrazolones and benzhydrazide, two novel Ligands BZ-PCBMCPMP ((Z)-N'-((4-chlorophenyl) (1-(3-chlorophenyl) 3-methyl-5-oxo-1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrazol-4-ylidene) methyl) benzohydrazide) and BZ-PCBPMP ((Z)-N'-((4-chlorophenyl) (1-phenyl) 3-methyl-5-oxo-1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrazol-4-ylidene) methyl) benzohydrazide)) with different O–N–O fashion were synthesized via Schiff base reaction, which on complexation with Zn(II) acetate dihydrate yields novel [Zn(BZ-PCBMCPMP)₂] and [Zn-(BZ-PCBPMP)₂] complexes with distorted octahedron framework. Structure elucidation was performed through several spectroscopic techniques such as FTIR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C NMR, TG-DTA, UV/Vis, and Single-crystal XRD. The non-electrolytic nature was confirmed through molar-conductance values. Single crystal X-ray study of the BZ-PCBPMP ligand shows intramolecular as well as intermolecular hydrogen bonding, giving rise to a H-bonded dimer. In [Zn-(BZ-PCBPMP)₂] one ligand is symmetrically coordinating while the other is asymmetrically coordinating to the Zinc atom. Antimalarial property of ligands and complexes was also discovered by its efficient MIC activity against Chloroquine sensitive P. falciparum.

Polymeric Membrane Lanthanum(III)‐Selective Electrode Based on N,N′‐Adipylbis(5‐phenylazo salicylaldehyde hydrazone)

A recently synthesized azao‐containing Schiff's base N,N′‐adipylbis(5‐phenylazo salicylaldehyde hydrazone) was used as a suitable neutral ion carrier in construction of a highly selective La³⁺‐PVC membrane electrode. The electrode exhibits a Nernstian response with a slope of 19.4 mV decade^?1 over a wide concentration range (1.0×10^?6–1.0×10^?2 M) and a limit of detection of 4.0×10^?7 M (0.05 ppm). The electrode possesses a fast response time of ca. 10 s and can be used for at least 3 months without observing any deviation. The proposed electrode revealed excellent selectivity for La³⁺ over a wide variety of alkali, alkaline earth, transition and heavy metal ions and could be used in a pH range of 4.0–8.0. The practical utility of the electrode has been demonstrated by its use as an indicator electrode in the potentiometric titration of La³⁺ ions with EDTA and in determination of F^? ion in some pharmaceutical preparations.
