Well‐defined non‐linear polyethylene‐based macromolecular architectures

Polyethylene (PE)‐based 3‐ and 4‐miktoarm star [PE(PCL)₂, PE(PCL)₃] and H‐type [(PCL)₂PE(PCL)₂] block copolymers [polycaprolactone (PCL)] were synthesized by a combination of polyhomologation, chlorosilane chemistry, and ring opening polymerization (ROP). The following steps were used for the synthesis of the miktoarm stars: (a) reaction of a hydroxy‐terminated polyethylene (PE‐OH), prepared by polyhomologation of dimethylsulfoxonium methylide with a monofunctional boron initiator followed by oxidation/hydrolysis, with chloromethyl(methyl)dimethoxysilane or chloromethyltrimethoxysilane; (b) hydrolysis of the produced ω‐di(tri)methoxysilyl‐polyethylenes to afford ω‐dihydroxy‐polyethylene (difunctional initiator) and ω‐trihydroxy‐polyethylene (trifunctional initiator); and (c) ROP of ɛ‐caprolactone with the difunctional (3‐miktoarm star) or trifunctional macroinitiator (4‐miktoarm star), in the presence of 1‐tert‐butyl‐2,2,4,4,4‐pentakis(dimethylamino)‐2λ⁵,4λ⁵‐catenadi(phosphazene) (t‐BuP₂). The H‐type block copolymers were synthesized using the same strategy, but with a difunctional polyhomologation initiator. All intermediates and final products were characterized by HT‐GPC, ¹H NMR and FTIR analyses. Thermal properties of the PE precursors and all final products were investigated by DSC and TGA. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2018 , 56, 2129–2136     

Synthesis,Anticancer Evaluation,and Molecular Docking Studies of Novel (4‐Hydroxy‐2‐Thioxo‐3,4‐Dihydro‐2H‐[1,3]Thiazin‐6‐Yl)‐Chromen‐2‐Ones via a Multicomponent Approach

A series of coumarin‐substituted 1,3‐thiazine‐2‐thione derivatives ( 4a–m ) were synthesized via the multicomponent reaction of 3‐chloro‐3‐(2‐oxo‐2H‐chromen‐3‐yl)acrylaldehyde ( 1 ) carbon disulfide ( 2 ), and various primary amines ( 3 ), in presence of triethylamine and acetonitrile under stirring with good yields. The structures of all the synthesized compounds were characterized by analytical and spectral studies. Further, the synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antiproliferative activities against different cancer cell lines (A549, MDA‐MB‐231, MCF7, HeLa, and B16F10). Studies on the molecular interactions to recognize the hypothetical binding motif of the title compounds with the target Hsp 100 were carried out employing the Schrodinger software. Compounds 4a , 4c and 4m showed activity against all the five cell lines compared with the reference drug, and 4a exhibited the least IC₅₀ concentration of 7.56 ± 1.07 μg/mL against MCF7. This in vitro anticancer result was supported by in silico docking and in silico ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) studies as well.     

Structure of liquid-crystalline phases formed by N-acetyl-L-glutamic acid oligomeric benzyl esters –2H NMR study

A series of N-acetyl-L-glutamic acid oligopeptide benzyl esters with exact residue numbers 4, 6, and 12 has been synthesized by a stepwise procedure. For these oligopeptide–dioxane binary systems, the behavior of the liquid-crystalline phases has been examined␣by the use of ²H NMR, and the results indicate that highly ordered aggregates formed by these oligopeptides in dioxane are in an alignment similar to that in a nematic mesophase.

Polymerization process of the silane coupling agent 3-aminopropyltriethoxy silane – H NMR spectra and kinetics of ethanol release

In the 3-aminopropyltriethoxy silane–deuterated ethanol–H₂O system, the rate of release of ethanol from the ethoxy groups, a reaction which occurs during the condensation process, has been followed by use of ¹H NMR spectroscopy at different temperatures. Two separate reaction processes have been identified, and values of the reaction rate constants and thermodynamic parameters (E_a, ΔH^‡ and ΔS^‡) have been calculated.     

Composition and Antimicrobial Activity of the Essential Oil of Origanum × dolichosiphon P. H. Davis

The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation from aerial parts ofOriganum × dolichosiphonP. H. Davis (Lamiaceae), a hybrid ofO. AmanumPost ×O. LaevigatumBoiss., was analyzed by GC/MS. Ninety-five compounds were characterized representing 92% of the oil. The major compounds were bicyclogermacrene (19.9%),-caryophyllene (13.0%), and germacrene D (10.8%). The antimicrobial activity of the oil was also determined     

H2CO和NO2反应机理的密度泛函理论计算研究

用密度泛函理论方法在UB3LYP/ 6-311++G(d,p)并包含零点能水平上计算得到了H2CO和NO2反应的势能面.在势能面上找到了由H2CO和NO2反应生成HCO和trans-HONO的两条反应通道.直接H迁移反应通道的势垒只有90.54 kJ*mol-1,是主要的反应通道,其TST速率是7.9 cm3*mol-1*s-1,与文献值相符;另一条通道是H2CO异构化为trans-HCOH,然后C位H迁移,最后生成的HOC分子异构化为HCO,这条通道反应势垒高达348.03 kJ*mol-1,是一条次要反应通道.

细胞色素b5突变体V45H NMR初步研究

通过分析在H2O和D2O中采集,DQF-COSY,TOCSY和NOESY等二维核磁共振波谱鉴定了细胞色素b5定点突变体V45H(残基Val^45突变为His^45)的大多数氨基酸残基的质子自旋系统,通过解析NOESY谱中的dNN(i,i+1),dαN(i,i+1),dαN(i,i+2),dαN(i,i+3),dαβ(i,i+3)和dβN(i,i+1)等NOE相关,完成了其序列特异性归属以及主链和侧链质子共振信号的全归属。突变体V45H的二级结构分析表明残基Val^45突变为His^45对分子的整体折叠影响不大。但是,与野生型细胞色素b5相比较,突变体V45H主链酰胺质子的化学位移指数提示突变使其血红素疏水腔的微环境受到扰动。以上实验结果为进一步测定V45H的溶液结构和分析残基Val^45在蛋白质中的作用提供了基础。
