Preparation and evaluation of <Superscript>131</Superscript>I-quercetin as a novel radiotherapy agent against dedifferentiated thyroid cancer

Here we reported the radiolabeling and evaluation of a novel ¹³¹I-radiolabeled quercetin for the treatment of dedifferentiated thyroid cancers. The human thyroid cancer cell lines (FTC-133, TT and DRO) experienced much higher uptake of ¹³¹I-quercetin as compared to the free ¹³¹I. And the proliferation inhibition rate of ¹³¹I-quercetin on in vitro DRO cell line was 86.87 ± 7.15%. Biodistribution and SPECT analysis demonstrated that the injected radioactivity mainly accumulated in tumors. The tumor volume in the treatment group was dramatically inhibited in comparison with the control group.

A scalable synthesis of an azabicyclooctanyl derivative, a novel DPP-4 inhibitor

A practical synthetic strategy to a chiral azabicycclooctanyl derivative (1), a potent DPP-4 inhibitor, starting from a commercially available nortropine is described. The stereogenic center of 1 was established employing a modified protocol of Ellman's diastereoselective addition of a benzylic nucleophile to tert-butanesulfinimine. Other key steps include Corey-Chaykovsky reaction, Meinwald rearrangement, and CDMT-promoted amide bond formation involving a sterically hindered amine 2.     

One‐Dimensional V2O5@Polyaniline Core/Shell Nanobelts Synthesized by an In situ Polymerization Method

Uniform one‐dimensional V₂O₅@polyaniline core/shell nanobelts have been fabricated by a simple in‐situ polymerization method in the absence of any surfactant and additional initiator. The influences of pH and additional initiator on the morphology of the resulting products are investigated. The pH value is important for the formation of V₂O₅@polyaniline core/shell nanobelts, which preserve the original morphology of V₂O₅ nanobelts. With a decrease in the pH value to 0 the original morphology of the V₂O₅ nanobelts is destroyed. When ammonium peroxydisulfate is used, some separated polyaniline nanofibers are formed. The formation of the V₂O₅@polyaniline core/shell nanobelts can be related to the in‐situ polymerization of aniline monomer by etching V₂O₅ nanobelts. The electrochemical lithium intercalation/deintercalation of V₂O₅@polyaniline core/shell nanobelts is investigated by cyclic voltammograms.

     

Impact of mixed low-molecular-weight organic acids on uranium accumulation and distribution in a variant of mustard (Brassica juncea var. tumida)

The impact of a mixture of low-molecular-weight organic acids (LMWOAs) composed of CA/MA/OA/LA with a molar ratio of 2.5:2.31:1.15:0.044 on uranium (U) accumulation and distribution in mustard (Brassica juncea var. tumida) was studied in this paper in order to understand the mechanism of rhizosphere-exudation assisted phytoremediation by hydroponic and pot culture experiments. The impact of the mixture of LWMOAs (Mix) on U accumulation showed that in hydroponic conditions Mix could enhance U translocation from root-to-shoot in mustard, but inhibit U uptake in root. In pot experiments, Mix enhanced both root and shoot U accumulation in mustard. The time-dependent kinetics of U uptake in mustard on Mix treatment showed that U content in plant shoots and roots increased with time increasing, and the steady state conditions were obtained at the 8th and 5th day with the U content of 1,528 and 2,300 mg/kg, respectively. Transmission electron microscope and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry analysis for mustard roots showed that U was mainly observed on cell membrane of mustard roots on Mix treatment. This study would provide new insights for the mixture of LWMOAs-assisted phytoremediation of U-contaminated soil.     

双二苷酰胺从硝酸溶液中萃取Eu(Ⅲ)和Am(Ⅲ)

采用混合酸酐法合成了两种双二苷酰胺(bisdiglycolamide, BisDGA)萃取剂: N,N,N'',N''-四正辛基-N',N″-乙二基-双二苷酰胺(TOE-BisDGA)和N,N,N'',N''-四正辛基-N',N″-间苯二甲基-双二苷酰胺(TOX-BisDGA). 以磺化煤油和正辛醇混合溶液(体积比 90∶10)作稀释剂, 研究了它们在硝酸溶液中对Eu(Ⅲ)和Am(Ⅲ), 以及自身对HNO₃的萃取行为. 结果表明, 2种BisDGAs对HNO₃均有一定萃取, 当酸度不超过1.0 mol/L时, 二者形成1∶1型的萃合物. 随HNO₃浓度增加, Eu(Ⅲ)和Am(Ⅲ)的萃取分配比增加. 相同条件下, TOE-BisDGA对Eu(Ⅲ)和Am(Ⅲ)的萃取能力强于TOX-BisDGA. 斜率分析表明TOE-BisDGA和TOX-BisDGA与Eu(Ⅲ)和Am(Ⅲ)均形成2∶1型的萃合物. 温度升高, 萃取分配比下降, 萃取反应是放热反应. 2种BisDGAs对Eu(Ⅲ)的亲和力强于对Am(Ⅲ)的亲合力, 表明BisDGAs对Eu(Ⅲ)有一定的选择性. 同时, 研究了BisDGAs萃取Eu(Ⅲ)和Am(Ⅲ)的机理, 给出了表观萃取平衡常数和萃取反应热力学函数ΔH, ΔS和ΔG的值. 此外, 还对TOE-BisDGA和TOX-BisDGA与Eu(Ⅲ)形成的配合物进行了红外和紫外光谱分析.     

Improved Preparation of Tyramine by Curtius Rearrangement

An improved and facile preparation of tyramine [2‐(p‐hydroxyphenyl)ethylamine] was described, which starts from phenol and acrylonitrile to form β‐(p‐hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid via Friedel‐Craft's alkylation and nitrile hydrolysis. After hydrazinolysis and a subsequent Curtius rearrangement, tyramine was obtained in 30.2% total yield.     

NH3与Cl2在y-Al2O3颗粒物表面的非均相反应

使用离子色谱分析了常温、常压、湿润和氧气存在条件下,NH₃和Cl₂在γ-Al₂O₃颗粒物表面非均相反应的产物及其受NH₃浓度、反应时间等的影响;并定量分析了NH₃、Cl₂、SO₂和NO₂单独及共存条件下,γ-Al₂O₃表面Cl^-、NO₃^-和SO₄^2-等二次无机颗粒物的生成总量.结果表明：NH₃和Cl₂在γ-Al₂O₃表面具有协同作用,2 h后Cl^-的生成总量可达589.65 μg,其生成量随时间延长而不断增加.表面氯化物的生成量在NH₃浓度为400 ppm时达到峰值,且随NH₃浓度的增加呈先增加而后减少的趋势.活性氯存在下,NH₃对颗粒物表面Cl^-、NO₃^-和SO₄^2-的生成有促进作用,且四种气体共存时复合正反馈效应最明显.同时,本研究对NH₃和Cl₂在颗粒物表面的非均相反应机理及活性氯和氨的排放对大气中二次无机颗粒物的贡献进行了探讨.
