Reaction of a 5α-bromo-6β,19-epoxysteroid with BF3·Et2O/Ac2O: An evidence of a cyclic bromonium cation

Treatment of 3β-acetoxy-5-bromo-6β,19-epoxy-5α-androstan-17-one with Ac₂O and BF₃·OEt₂, produced the cleavage of the epoxy moiety and migration of the bromine atom to afford 3β,19-diacetoxy-6α-bromo-5-hydroxy-5β-androst-17-one in high yield.     

Evaluation of the reactivity of new activated difluoroaromatic compounds

To evaluate the reactivity of new difluroroaromatic compounds in nucleophilic substitution, the positive charges on carbon atoms of C−F bonds were calculated using the quantum-chemical semiempirical PM3 method. A correlation between the charges calculated and the chemical shifts in the¹⁹F NMR spectra was established. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

正则地稳定环和模的稳定同构

设R是一个含幺结合环。如果任意两个稳定同构的有限生成投射R－模均是同构的，则称R是强Hermitian环；如果对任意正则元a,b∈R且aR bR=R,均存在y∈R使得a by可逆，则称R是正则地稳定环。本文证明了环R是强Hermitian环，当且仅当对任意自然数n有Mn(R)是正则地稳定环。还给出了正则地稳定环的一些性质和刻画。     

BaAl12O19高温热稳定材料制备方法

ＢａＡｌ１２Ｏ１９是一种被用于高温催化燃烧的β－Ａｌ２Ｏ３型材料．在其制备过程中可采用柠檬酸盐无定形前驱体法．它在１３０℃的分解反映出硝酸盐与自由羰基的相互作用；３６０℃的分解对应于柠檬酸盐的氧化；在８００℃时，ＢａＣＯ３分解并生成ＢａＡｌ２Ｏ４．ＢａＡｌ２Ｏ４的产生并没有抑制ＢａＡｌ１２Ｏ１９的形成．形成ＢａＡｌ１２Ｏ１９的另一条途径是γ－Ａｌ２Ｏ３同分散相Ｂａ２＋之间的反应     

Insecticidal activity of residual Bt protein at the second trophic level

Since the first commercial release of transgenic crop expressing genes from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), there have been concerns about its potential impact on the environment. Research has focused on the ecological effects from second exposure to Bt prot…     

Monofluoroalkene-Isostere as a 19F NMR Label for the Peptide Backbone: Synthesis and Evaluation in Membrane-Bound PGLa and (KIGAKI)3

Solid-state ¹⁹F NMR is a powerful method to study the interactions of biologically active peptides with membranes. So far, in labelled peptides, the ¹⁹F-reporter group has always been installed on the side chain of an amino acid. Given the fact that monofluoroalkenes are non-hydrolyzable peptide bond mimics, we have synthesized a monofluoroalkene-based dipeptide isostere, Val-Ψ[(Z)-CF=CH]-Gly, and inserted it in the sequence of two well-studied antimicrobial peptides: PGLa and (KIGAKI)₃ are representatives of an α-helix and a β-sheet. The conformations and biological activities of these labeled peptides were studied to assess the suitability of monofluoroalkenes for ¹⁹F NMR structure analysis.     

Two new compounds from Melodinus suaveolens

Two new compounds, 19-hydroxy-melodinine K (1) and melodiside (2), and 25 known compounds were isolated from leaves and twigs of Melodinus suaveolens. Their structures were elucidated based on 1- and 2-D NMR, FTIR, UV and MS spectroscopic data. 19-hydroxy-melodinine K showed cytotoxic activity against MDA-MB-231 breast, BCG-823 gastric, SW480 colon and Hela cancer cells.     

19F-detected dual-optimized inverted 1JCC 1,n-ADEQUATE

Modification of the recently reported ¹⁹F-detected 1,1-ADEQUATE experiment that incorporates dual-optimization to selectively invert a wide range of ¹J_CC correlations in a 1,n-ADEQUATE experiment is reported. Parameters for the dual-optimization segment of the pulse sequence were modified to accommodate the increased size of ¹J_CC homonuclear coupling constants of poly- and perfluorinated molecules relative to protonated molecules to allow broadband inversion of the ¹J_CC correlations. The observation and utility of isotope shifts are reported for the first time for 1,1- and 1,n-ADEQUATE correlations.     

Development of a microchip capillary electrophoresis method for determination of the purity and integrity of mRNA in lipid nanoparticle vaccines

Messenger RNA (mRNA)-based vaccines are advantageous because they can be relatively quicker and more cost efficient to manufacture compared to other traditional vaccine products. Lipid nanoparticles have three common purposes: delivery, self-adjuvanting properties, and mRNA protection. Faster vaccine development requires an efficient and fast assay to monitor mRNA purity and integrity. Microchip CE is known to be a robust technology that is capable of rapid separation. Here, we describe the development and optimization of a purity and integrity assay for mRNA-based vaccines encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles using commercial microchip-based separation. The analytical parameters of the optimized assay were assessed and the method is a stability indicating assay.
