Molecular Recognition of Acetylaminofluorene-and Aminofluorene-modified Guanosine

Abstract

New receptors based upon a carboxamidonaphthyridine unit derivatized with the polyaromatic segments [4-(1-pyrenyl)butyroylamino] and [3-(9-anthracenyl)propanoylamino] have been synthesized and studied by ¹H NMR titration in their binding interaction to the guanosine-C8 adducts from the carcinogens 2-acetylaminofluorene and 2-aminofluorene. The high binding energy, in comparison with that of the non-derivatized analogues, is rationalized in terms of a bi-site interaction (hydrogen bonding and aromatic stacking). Although many factors may contribute to the strength of the host-guest complexes described herein, it appears that in some cases π-π interaction may induce a concomitant bending in the hydrogen bond system.     

双(8-乙氧羰甲氧基-2-亚甲喹啉基)缩连氮的合成及其选择传感性能

以水合肼和2-甲酰基-8-乙氧羰甲氧基喹啉为原料合成了希夫碱双(8-乙氧羰甲氧基-2-亚甲喹啉基)缩连氮(BEQA),经1HNMR、元素分析等进行了结构表征,在乙醇-水混合溶剂中采用UV-Vis光谱法研究了H+、Ca2+、Mg2+、Sr2+、Mn2+、Co2+、Ni2+、Cu2+、Zn2+、Cd2+及Hg2+对BEQA光谱的影响,结果表明,BEQA分子的UV-Vis光谱仅对体系中的H+、Cu2+和Cd2+有特殊的选择传感性,在体系中的pH值或Cu2+、Cd2+浓度增大时,BEQA在380 nm处的吸收峰强度会逐渐减小,并伴随有不同程度的蓝移;Job′s法测定Cu2+和Cd2+与BEQA形成配合物的化学计量比为1∶4。     

A novel supramolecular graft copolymer via cucurbit[8]uril-based complexation and its self-assembly

A novel supramolecular graft copolymer（SGP） composed of viologen-containing copolymer（P（DMA-co-diEV）） as the main chain and Np ended PNIPAM（Np-PN1PAm） as the grafts is prepared（DMA:N,N- dimethylacryamide,diEV:ethylviologen dimer,Np:naphthalene,PNIPAM:poly（N-isopropylacrylamide））. The grafting is based on the triple complexation among a host of cucurbit[8]uril（CB[8]）and two guests of diEV and Np,which is characterized by UV-vis spectra and ITC.Temperature sensitive property of PNIPAm moiety allows SGP to self-assemble into non-covalently connected micelle（NCCM） at high temperature. The micelles are sensitive to reducing agents,for example Na₂S₂O₃,which breaks the current inclusion complex pair and induces aggregation.

Novel B,O-chelated fluorescent probe for nitric oxide imaging in Raw 264.7 macrophages and onion tissues

A novel fluorescent probe based on B,O-chelated dipyrromethene chromophore in far-visible and near-infrared spectral region (600–900 nm), boron chelated 8-(3,4-diaminophenyl)-3,5-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indancene (BOPB), has been first developed for nitric oxide (NO) imaging. BOPB, a turn-on fluorescent probe, can react with NO rapidly under physiological condition. The reaction product of BOPB with NO, BOPB-T, emits bright red fluorescence at 643 nm when excited at 622 nm. Meanwhile, BOPB-T displays high fluorescent quantum yield of 0.21 and good photostability. The selectivity for NO over other reactive oxygen/nitrogen species and ascorbic acid has been investigated and BOPB has good specificity for the detection of NO. MTT assay shows that the toxicity of BOPB (below 10 μM) to living cells can be neglected. Based on these investigations, BOPB has been used for NO imaging in Raw 264.7 cells and onion tissues. Meanwhile, mechanical injury to onion tissues results in a brighter fluorescence around the wound, which indicates that more NO has been produced in plant tissues in response to external stimuli. Our studies illustrate that BOPB has advantages of high sensitivity, low background interference and little photo damage on fluorescence imaging of NO.

New 5-hydroxymethyl-8-methyl-3-(3-aryl-[1,2,4]oxadiazol-5-yl)-2H-pyrano-[2,3-c]pyridin-2-ones and their esters were synthesized. The structure of obtained compounds was determined through a complete ¹H NMR analysis.     

Three New C19‐Diterpenoid Alkaloids from Aconitum forrestii

A further study of the alkaloid constituents of Aconitum forrestii led to the isolation of three new C₁₉‐diterpenoid alkaloids, named 14‐acetoxy‐8‐O‐methylsachaconitine ( 1 ), 14‐acetoxyscaconine ( 2 ), and 8‐O‐ethylcammaconine ( 3 ). Their structures were determined by UV, IR, and MS, 1D‐ and 2D‐NMR analyses.     

Theoretical analysis of correlation between ionization threshold fluence in IR‐MALDI and IR absorption spectrum of matrix molecules

To investigate the correlation between the wavelength dependence of ionization threshold fluence of target molecule in matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization by infrared (IR) laser and the IR absorption spectrum of matrix molecule, we have analyzed the IR absorption spectra of four matrix molecules using density functional theory and correlated ab initio molecular orbital method. The calculated IR absorption spectra of the isolated molecules showed more qualitative correlation with the wavelength dependence of ionization threshold fluence than those of the solid state structures. We can consider that a portion of matrix molecules lost the ordered crystal structure and that the transition to the diluted or isolated state occurred at the early process of IR laser irradiation. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
