Selaginellin A and B, two novel natural pigments isolated from Selaginella tamariscina

Two new unusual natural pigments were first isolated from the whole herbs of Selaginella tamariscina. The structure of selaginellin A (1) was established as (R,S)-4-[(4'-hydroxy-3-((4-hydroxyphenyl)ethynyl)biphenyl-2-yl)(4-hydroxyphenyl)methylene]-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-one and selaginellin B (2) as (R,S)-4-[(4'-methoxy-4-(methyl)-3-((4-methoxyphenyl)ethynyl)biphenyl-2-yl)(4-methoxyphenyl)methylene]-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-one, along with four known biflavonoids, amentoflavone (3), hinokiflavone (4), heveaflavone (5), and 7'-O-methylamentoflavone (6). Their chemical structures were elucidated by spectral analysis of electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (ESI-MS), one-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1D-NMR) and two-dimensional-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (2D-NMR) including (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT) and heteronuclear multiple bond coherence (HMBC), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques.

Sipe­imine,a steroidal alkaloid from Fritillariaroylei Hooker

In the title compound, 3,20-dihydroxycevan-6-one, C₂₇H₄₃NO₃, all the six-membered rings have normal chair conformations except ring D, which exists in a twist-chair conformation. The five-membered ring C adopts an envelope conformation. An O—H⃛O hydrogen bond connects the mol­ecules into spirals, which run along the b-axis direction.     

A new bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid from Plumulanelumbinis

One new bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid, neferine N-oxide(1), along with three known compounds,neferine(2), liensinine(3), and isoliensinine(4), were isolated from Plumulanelumbinis – the embryo of the seed of Nelumbonucifera. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis(MS,UV, IR, NMR), and the absolute configurations were determined by experimental circulardichroism(CD)spectra. Compound 1 is a new naturally occurring bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid with an N-oxide functionality, and the CD spectrum of(1R, 1'R) neferine is first reported. The antioxidant activities of compounds 1–4 were evaluated using the ORAC assay, which illustrated that all these compounds showed the different levels of oxygen radical absorbance capacity.     

木通中共有成分木通酸和木通皂苷Stc的检测

应用薄层色谱和高效液相色谱技术,对木通属3种基源木通(五叶木通、三叶木通和白木通)的不同产地、不同生长期共20个样品进行检测分析,从中发现了共有成分木通酸和木通皂苷Stc。建立一种测定共有成分的反相高效液相色谱方法。采用Agilent SB-C18(4.6 mm×250 mm,5μm)色谱柱,以V(乙腈)∶V(水)=65∶35为流动相,进样量20μL,流速1 mL/min,柱温25℃,检测波长203 nm,共有成分在50 min内得到较好分离,回收率符合含量测定要求。运用该方法对木通药材进行共有成分含量测定,结果显示,共有成分在20个样品中含量差别较大。经查阅文献表明,木通酸仅在木通科木通中存在,为木通的专属性成分。此研究结果可为中国药典木通质量标准修订提供参考。     

Steady thermocapillary-buoyant convection in a shallow annular pool. Part 2: Two immiscible fluids

This work is devoted to the study of steady thermocapillary-buoyant convection in a system of two horizontal superimposed immiscible liquid layers filling a lateral heated thin annular pool.The governing equations are solved using an asymptotic theory for the aspect ratios ε→ 0.Asymptotic solutions of the velocity and temperature fields are obtained in the core region away from the cylinder walls.In order to validate the asymptotic solutions,numerical simulations are also carried out and the results are compared to each other.It is found that the present asymptotic solutions are valid in most of the core region.And the applicability of the obtained asymptotic solutions decreases with the increase of the aspect ratio and the thickness ratio of the two layers.For a system of gallium arsenide (lower layer) and boron oxide (upper layer),the buoyancy slightly weakens the thermocapillary convection in the upper layer and strengthens it in the lower layer.     

乙炔分子的低能电子弹性散射研究

本文采用R矩阵方法研究低能电子与乙炔分子的弹性散射截面及其动力学过程.研究采用静态交换势模型(SE)和静态交换加极化势模型(SEP)两种方法.结果显示当前SEP模型预测的弹性散射截面与已有的实验值和理论结果符合的很好.SE模型预测了一个位于4.75 eV,宽度为3.0 eV的π形状共振态.该共振态在SEP模型中的位置降低为2.65 eV,宽度为1.5 eV.它来自B_(2g)和B_(3g)对称性贡献,理论预测共振态位置与实验值符合的很好.我们讨论了考虑不同的虚轨道对共振态的影响,说明预测精确的共振态的位置需要准确的处理极化效应.基于SEP模型得到的K矩阵元,我们使用POLYDCS代码计算的散射微分截面(DCS),和实验值符合的较好.除此之外,我们还报道了2 eV时转动分辨的态-态微分截面.     

Determination of 195 pesticide residues in Chinese herbs by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry using analyte protectants

The phenomenon known as "matrix-induced enhancement effect" is not only observed in the analysis of pesticides in food, but also in Chinese herbs. Several approaches have been proposed to overcome the matrix-induced effect, but each method has serious limitations. Compared with standard calibration methods, the procedure with adding analyte protectants offers a more convenient and effective route to solve the problem. In the current study, we have analyzed 195 types of pesticides in Chinese herbs by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and the compounds that are susceptible to matrix effect were picked up and confirmed. In addition, several analyte protectants were evaluated and the most effective combination was determined. D-ribonic acid-γ-lactone (2 mg/ml) and D-sorbitol (1 mg/ml) were shown to be the best analyte protectants for the analysis of most pesticides.     

Synthesis,chemical nuclease activity,and in vitro cytotoxicity of benzimidazole-based Cu(Ⅱ)/Co(Ⅱ) complexes

In this study, novel mono/di-nuclear Cu(p-2-bmb)(OH)(ClO₄) (1) and Co₂(p-2-bmb)₂Cl₄ (2) (p-2-bmb=1- ((2-(pyridin-2-yl)-benzoimidazol-1-yl)methyl)-1H-benzotriazole) complexes with the nitrogen heterocyclic benzimidazole-based ligand were synthesized and characterized. The two complexes showed antiproliferative effects in various carcinoma cell lines, especially complex 1 in the SMMC7721 tumor cell line. Complex 1 was also able to pass through the cell membrane and enter the nucleus and mitochondrion. An analysis of in vitro chemical nuclease activity revealed that complex 1 partially intercalated to calf thymus DNA and exhibited strong unwinding activity against pBR322 superhelical plasmid DNA. The comet assay and flow cytometry analysis confirmed that 1 caused extensive DNA damage and arrested SMMC7721 tumor cells at G2/M phase of the cell cycle, leading to loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and apoptosis. These results suggest that these benzimidazole-based metal complexes could be potential anti-cancer agents.
