Spatio-Temporal Variation of the Bacterial Communities along a Salinity Gradient within a Thalassohaline Environment (Saline di Tarquinia Salterns,Italy)

The “Saline di Tarquinia” salterns have been scarcely investigated regarding their microbiological aspects. This work studied the structure and composition of their bacterial communities along the salinity gradient (from the nearby sea through different ponds). The communities showed increasing simplification of pond bacterial diversity along the gradient (particularly if compared to those of the sea). Among the 38 assigned phyla, the most represented were Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes. Differently to other marine salterns, where at the highest salinities Bacteroidetes dominated, preponderance of Proteobacteria was observed. At the genus level the most abundant taxa were Pontimonas, Marivita, Spiribacter, Bordetella, GpVII and Lentibacter. The α-diversity analysis showed that the communities were highly uneven, and the Canonical Correspondence Analysis indicated that they were structured by various factors (sampling site, sampling year, salinity, and sampling month). Moreover, the taxa abundance variation in relation to these significant parameters were investigated by Generalized Linear Models. This work represents the first investigation of a marine saltern, carried out by a metabarcoding approach, which permitted a broad vision of the bacterial diversity, covering both a wide temporal span (two years with monthly sampling) and the entire salinity gradient (from the nearby sea up to the crystallisation ponds).

Total Synthesis of Belizentrin Methyl Ester: Report on a Likely Conquest

The assigned structure of the dinoflagellate‐derived toxin belizentrin was prepared by total synthesis in form of the corresponding methyl ester for stability reasons. The successful route features an unusual solution for the preparation of a recalcitrant ylide on a C‐glycosidic segment; moreover, it involves an asymmetric hetero‐Diels–Alder reaction en route to the tertiary hemiacetal substructure, a Negishi cross‐coupling of two elaborate building blocks, and a macrocyclization based on an intramolecular aminolysis of a spirolactone. A modified Kocienski olefination ultimately allowed the polyol side chain to be attached to the macrocycle although this transformation faced the exceptional base sensitivity of this polyunsaturated target compound.     

C–H Activation and Alkyne Annulation via Automatic or Intrinsic Directing Groups: Towards High Step Economy

Direct transformation of carbon–hydrogen bond (C–H) has emerged to be a trend for construction of molecules from building blocks with no or less prefunctionalization, leading high atom and step economy. Directing group (DG) strategy is widely used to achieve higher reactivity and selectivity, but additional steps are usually needed for installation and/or cleavage of DGs, limiting step economy of the overall transformation. To meet this challenge, we proposed a concept of automatic DG (DG^auto), which is auto‐installed and/or auto‐cleavable. Multifunctional oxime and hydrazone DG^auto were designed for C–H activation and alkyne annulation to furnish diverse nitrogen‐containing heterocycles. Imidazole was employed as an intrinsic DG (DGⁱⁿ) to synthesize ring‐fused and π‐extended functional molecules. The alkyne group in the substrates can also be served as DGⁱⁿ for ortho‐C–H activation to afford carbocycles. In this account, we intend to give a review of our progress in this area and brief introduction of other related advances on C–H functionalization using DG^auto or DGⁱⁿ strategies.     

Crystal structure of the cytotoxic marine alkaloid 2-bromoleptoclinidinone

2-Bromoleptoclinidinone methanol solvate, C₁₈H₈BrN₃O·CH₄O, crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with a = 15.7013(2), b = 7.3308(1), and c = 26.9326(1) Å. The molecule is essentially planar, with the largest deviations occurring at bromine (–0.21 Å), carbonyl oxygen O(l) (+0.19 Å) and in ring-A (C(9) –0.15 Å, C(10) –0.15 Å). Methanol occupies the 1,10-phenanthroline-like metal binding site of the title compound.     

Syntheses and Preliminary Biological Evaluations of the Dibromopyrrole-Containing Marine Natural Products Agesasine A,Agesasine B,Longamide E and Various Congeners

Total syntheses of the title marine natural products have been achieved and so confirming the structures originally assigned to them. Upon subjecting agesasine A and its corresponding ethyl ester to Mitsunobu conditions, a 1,5-cyclodehydration reaction takes place to give 2-oxazolines. In contrast, on subjecting agesasine B to the same Mitsunobu conditions, a simple dehydration reaction occurs to give the corresponding acrylate. A total synthesis of longamide E was achieved by engaging a 1,2-disubstituted pyrrole in a lactam-forming reaction and this was followed by a two-fold and fully regio-controlled bromination reaction. A distinctly different and possibly biomimetic route was used to synthesize, via the open-chain natural product nakamurine B, longamide B and its methyl ester. Preliminary biological evaluations of the title alkaloids and various analogues against a small human cancer cell line panel reveals cytotoxic properties that vary significantly with structure.     

人民币汇率变动对我国开放经济中外资流人影响的研究

就人民币汇率变动对我国开放经济外资流入的传导机制进行理论分析,并以高开放地区和行业为代表,结合实际数据利用面板模型进行实证研究,结果表明:人民币汇率与我国开放经济中外资流入呈现反向变动.由于外资对我国开放经济稳定健康发展具有重大意义和影响.因此,我国需保持人民币汇率在中长期稳定,从而避免对外资流入产生大的冲击.
