Solid-phase,Pd-catalyzed silicon-aryl carbon bond formation. Synthesis of sansalvamide A peptide

A palladium-catalyzed silicon-aryl carbon bond formation on solid-phase is reported. A phenylalanine silane resin was prepared directly from protected iodo-substituted phenylalanine with butyl diethylsilane polystyrene in one step. A rapid and high-yield solid-phase synthesis of sansalvamide A peptide was achieved from the phenylalanine silane resin. [reaction: see text]     

硝酸甘油:祸兮福所倚,福兮祸所伏——舞台剧剧本

自1846年硝酸甘油被合成以来,人们一直把其当作炸药来使用。但由于硝酸甘油过于敏感,导致事故不断。为解决这一问题,诺贝尔尝试改良硝酸甘油,将硅藻土与硝酸甘油混合,降低了敏感度,达到安全使用炸药的目的。后来人们发现硝酸甘油还有缓解心绞痛的功能,便对其进行了深入研究。本文以剧本的形式向大众科普硝酸甘油的上述功能。     

The Effect of Albumin Fusion Patterns on the Production and Bioactivity of the Somatostatin-14 Fusion Protein in Pichia pastoris

Somatostatin is a natural inhibitor of growth hormone, and its analogues are clinically used for the therapy of acromegaly, gigantism, thyrotropinoma, and other carcinoid syndrome. However, natural somatostatin is limited for clinical usage because of its short half-life in vivo. Albumin fusion technology was used to construct long-acting fusion proteins, and Pichia pastoris was used as an expression system. Three fusion proteins, (somatostatin (SS)14)₂-human serum albumin (HSA), (SS14)₃-HSA, and HSA-(SS14)₃, were constructed with different fusion copies of somatostatin-14 and fusion orientations. The expression level of (SS14)₃-HSA and HSA-(SS14)₃ was much lower than (SS14)₂-HSA due to the additional fusion of the somatostatin-14 molecule. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry revealed that severe degradation occurred in the fermentation process. Similar to the standard of somatostatin-14, all three fusion proteins were able to inhibit growth hormone secretion in the blood, with (SS14)₂-HSA being the most effective one. On the whole, (SS14)₂-HSA was the most effective protein in both production level and bioactivity, and increasing the number of small protein copies fused to HSA may not be a suitable method to improve the protein bioactivity.     

Significance of Branching for Transfection: Synthesis of Highly Branched Degradable Functional Poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) by Vinyl Oligomer Combination

A series of degradable branched PDMAEMA copolymers were investigated with the linear PDMAEMA counterpart as gene‐delivery vectors. The branched PDMAEMA copolymers were synthesized by controlled radical cross‐linking copolymerization based on the “vinyl oligomer combination” approach. Efficient degradation properties were observed for all of the copolymers. The degree of branching was found to have a big impact on performance in transfection when tested on different cell types. The product with the highest degree of branching and highest degree of functionality had a superior transfection profile in terms of both transfection capability and the preservation of cell viability. These branched PDMAEMA copolymers show high potential for gene‐delivery applications through a combination of the simplicity of their synthesis, their low toxicity, and their high performance.     

Polyhydroxy Fullerene-loaded ZIF-8 Nanocomposites for Better Photodynamic Therapy

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been received broad attentions as a cancer treatment, and fullerenes are potential photosensitizer owing to their unique electronic structures. However, fullerenes show insolubility in water for the special structure, which will induce aggregation to hinder the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Furthermore, the size of fullerenes is not conducive to reach the tumors through the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. Herein, a polyhydroxy fullerene-loaded metal-organic framework is designed and prepared to address the mentioned problems encountering with fullerenes as photosensitizers. The nanocomposite PHF@ZIF-8, which is synthesized by a simple one-pot method, displays great biocompatibility and outstanding photodynamic performance under the 448 nm laser irradiation. This work provides strong evidence for PHF@ZIF-8 as a promising photosensitizer candidate.     

α‐FeOOH−MoO3 Nanorod for Effective Photo‐Fenton Degradation of Dyes and Antibiotics at a Wide Range of pH

It's highly significant to develop a novel catalyst, which can be active at a wide range of pH, for an effective photo‐Fenton reaction. In this work, α‐FeOOH?MoO₃ nanorod was prepared by a one‐step hydrothermal method and applied in photo‐Fenton degradation of organic pollutants. Benefit from the electron migration mechanism of Z‐scheme and excellent photoelectric performance, the catalyst exhibited superior photo‐Fenton activity in degradation of organic pollutants. In addition, the catalyst holds good stability after 5 recycles. These results demonstrated that this catalyst has wide application prospect in organic wastewater treatment.
