Astolides A and B,antifungal and cytotoxic naphthoquinone-derived polyol macrolactones from Streptomyces hygroscopicus

Two new natural compounds, astolides A,B, were isolated from Streptomyces hygroscopicus collected from the alkaline soil obtained from Saratov region, Russia. The structures were elucidated by interpretation of UV spectroscopic, MS, 1D and 2D NMR data. The relative configurations were determined by analysis of NOESY/ROESY spectra and coupling constants. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory activity against bacteria, fungi and yeasts and showed pronounced antifungal activity. Both compounds are noticeably cytotoxic, being active against doxorubicin-resistant human leukemia cell line.     

Chemical constituents and biological activities of the genus Linaria (Scrophulariaceae)

This is a review on 95 references dealing with the genus Linaria (Scrophularioideae-Antirrhineae tribe), a known genus of the Scrophulariaceae family, which comprises about 200 species mainly distributed in Europe, Asia and North Africa. The use of some Linaria species in folk medicine has attracted the attention for chemical and biological studies. This report is aimed to be a comprehensive overview on the isolated or identified known and often new metabolites from the 41 Linaria species so far cited. It is organised presenting first the phytochemical classes of alkaloids, polyphenols including flavonoids, the latter being quite diffused and mostly present as flavones, flavonols and their glycosides, and terpenoids including iridoids and steroids. Second, the results from biological investigation on plant extracts, pure natural products isolated from Linaria species and some synthetic derivatives are reported, with antitumour, anti-acetylcholinesterase, anti-inflammatory and analgesic, antioxidant and antibacterial activities.

Development and application of a system for analysis of mixed cultures of microorganisms

Development and application of a system for real-time quantitative assessment of individual cell activities in a mixed culture system was investigated. This was based on a concept that the activities of individual cells in a mixed culture can be assessed if the cells are physically separated (in separate compartments) in a vessel while the culture conditions, including the broth components, are maintained the same in all the compartments during the cultivation. On this basis, three different apparatus (M-1, M-2, and M-3) were constructed using various types of membranes. In terms of mass transfer characteristics and membrane fouling, the M-3 apparatus was the most effective system for analysis of mixed cultures at high cell densities. With the M-3 apparatus, the interrelationships between two alcohol-producing strains (Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Zymomonas mobilis) under anaerobic and aerobic conditions were studied. Under anaerobic condition, except for possible competition for nutrients, there were no significant effects of the activities of one microorganism on the other. However, under aerobic condition, amensalism was observed because acetaldehyde that was produced by Z. mobilis inhibited the growth of S. cerevisiae.

浙东南山门地区早白垩世同源岩浆活动的稀土元素制约

对浙东南山门地区早白垩世中酸性火山-侵入杂岩进行了稀土元素含量的ICP-MS分析,对比研究了其稀土元素地球化学特征。不同类型岩浆岩的稀土元素除Eu外具有基本一致的轻稀土富集的右倾配分模式,以及稳定的Sm/Nd,La/Nd和La/Sm比值,表明它们具有一致的岩浆源区,只是分异演化程度不同。Eu/Sm比值(0.02～0.09和0.15～0.21)及一致的Nb/Ta比值(13.9～16.9),介于地壳和地幔值之间,表明其为壳幔岩浆混合作用的产物。稀土元素协变关系显示成岩过程可能以部分熔融作用为主。结合微量元素研究,山门地区早白垩世同源岩浆活动可能与古太平洋板块俯冲碰撞后岩石圈伸展引起的弧后引张构造有关。

Nanotechnology,Green Synthesis and Biological Activity Application of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Incorporated Argemone Mxicana Leaf Extract

Nanomaterial is a rapidly growing area that is used to create a variety of new materials and nanotechnology applications from medical, pharmaceuticals, chemical, mechanical, electronics and several environmental industries including physical, chemical and biological nanoparticles are very important in our daily life. Nanoparticles with leaf extract from the healthy plant are important in the area of research using biosynthesis methods. Because of it’s used as an environmentally ecofriendly, other than traditional physical and chemical strategies. In particular, biologically synthesized nanoparticles have become a key branch of nanotechnology. The present work presents a synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using an extract from the Argemone leaf Mexicana. Biosynthetic nanoparticles are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Ultraviolet visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy analysis, a Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy analysis (FTIR) and a scanning electron microcopy (SEM), X-ray analysis with dispersive energy (EDAX). XRD is used to examine the crystalline size of zinc oxide nanoparticles. The FTIR test consists in providing evidence of the presence of targeted teams. UV is used for optical properties and calculates the energy of the bandwidth slot. The scanning microscope emission reveals the morphology of the surface and the energy dispersive X-ray analysis confirms the basic composition of zinc oxide nanoparticles. It is found that zinc nanoparticles are capable of achieving high anti-fungal efficacy and therefore have a high potential antimicrobial activity of ZnO NPs, like antibacterial and high antioxidant. Zinc Oxide nanoparticles from the Argemone Mexicana leaf extract have several antimicrobial applications, such as medical specialty, cosmetics, food, biotechnology, nano medicine and drug delivery system. ZnO nanoparticles are important because they provide many practical applications in industry. The most important use of nanoparticles of ZnO would be strong antibacterial and antioxidant activity with a simple and efficient biosynthesis method may be used for future work applications.
