Methylation of Cyanidin-3-O-Glucoside with Dimethyl Carbonate

The approach presented in this study is the first for the hemisynthesis of methylated anthocyanins. It was possible to obtain cyanidin-3-O-glucoside derivatives with different degrees of methylation. Cautious identification of 4′-, 5-, and 7-OH monomethylated derivatives was also accomplished. The methylation agent used was the “green chemical” dimethyl carbonate (DMC), which is characterized by low human and ecological toxicity. The influence of the temperature, reaction time, and amount of the required diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-en (DBU) catalyst on the formation of the products was examined. Compared to conventional synthesis methods for methylated flavonoids using DMC and DBU, the conditions identified in this study result in a reduction of reaction time, and an important side reaction, so-called carboxymethylation, was minimized by using higher amounts of catalyst.

高速公路工程中水泥搅拌桩桩身合理设计强度研究

在公路工程的搅拌桩地基设计中,一般假设加固区桩土变形协调,从而采用复合地基理论进行设计。但是目前许多的工程实践表明在路堤荷载作用下,搅拌桩地基桩土之间存在差异沉降,桩身强度不能够完全发挥,为此需要对复合模量的表达式进行改进。本文采用有限元分析了路堤荷载作用下搅拌桩地基的变形响应情况,分析了加固区桩间土变形与桩身模量之间关系,得到了水泥土搅拌桩强度的合理范围。     

Chemoselective and efficient carbomethoxylation of the alcoholic chain of phenols by dimethyl carbonate (DMC)

The efficiency of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) as chemoselective carbomethoxylating agent of the alcoholic chain of phenols has been investigated. In the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) or sulfuric acid as catalysts, new carbomethoxylated phenolic compounds were obtained in quantitative yields. A new efficient derivatization of the aliphatic alcoholic chain of the precious natural hydroxytyrosol is described, which increases the lipophilicity of the hydroxytyrosol. The antioxidant activity of this new carboxymethylated hydroxytyrosol 8 has been investigated using DPPH radical scavenging test. The results showed that this new compound has an antioxidant activity similar to hydroxytyrosol.     

Effects of Curcumin Analogues DMC and EF24 in Combination with the Cytokine TRAIL against Kidney Cancer

The natural compound curcumin has been shown to have therapeutic potential against a wide range of diseases such as cancer. Curcumin reduces cell viability of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cells when combined with TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), a cytokine that specifically targets cancer cells, by helping overcome TRAIL resistance. However, the therapeutic effects of curcumin are limited by its low bioavailability. Similar compounds to curcumin with higher bioavailability, such as demethoxycurcumin (DMC) and 3,5-bis(2-fluorobenzylidene)-4-piperidone (EF24), can potentially have similar anticancer effects and show a similar synergy with TRAIL, thus reducing RCC viability. This study aims to show the effects of DMC and EF24 in combination with TRAIL at reducing ACHN cell viability and ACHN cell migration. It also shows the changes in death receptor 4 (DR4) expression after treatment with these compounds individually and in combination with TRAIL, which can play a role in their mechanism of action.

Electron correlation effects in ionic hydrogen clusters

We employ density functional, post‐Hartree–Fock, and quantum Monte Carlo methods to study the electronic structure, geometries, and behavior of positively charged H_m⁺ clusters with m=3,5,…,17. Their structure consists of a tightly bound H₃⁺ core ion surrounded by successive solvation shells of H₂ molecules. For the largest clusters, we propose new geometries. We find that correlated methods yield the stepwise decrease of enthalpies for dissociation of H₂ from the clusters observed in experiments. Our best results are obtained by the diffusion Monte Carlo method, and by including finite temperature entropic effects, we are able to reproduce the experimental dissociation enthalpies with an unprecedented accuracy of less than 0.5 kcal/mol. These benchmark results contrast with erroneous predictions discovered in the density functional approaches. Finally, our analysis of the cluster energy surfaces indicates that under quantum and thermal fluctuations, the outer solvation shells will exhibit pronounced fluctional behavior. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Continuous fermentation of cellulosic biomass to ethanol

Experimental results are presented for continuous conversion of pretreated hardwood flour to ethanol. A simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) system comprised ofTrichoderma reesei cellulase supplemented with additional β-glucosidase and fermentation bySaccharomyces cerevisiae was used for most experiments, with data also presented for a direct microbial conversion (DMC) system comprised ofClostridium thermocellum. Using a batch SSF system, dilute acid pretreatment of mixed hardwood at short residence time(10 s, 220°C, 1% H₂SO₄) was compared to poplar wood pretreated at longer residence time (20 min, 160°C, 0.45% H₂SO₄). The short residence time pretreatment resulted in a somewhat (10–20%) more reactive substrate, with the reactivity difference particularly notable at low enzyme loadings and/or low agitation. Based on a preliminary screening, inhibition of SSF by byproducts of short residence time pretreatment was measurable, but minor. Both SSF and DMC were carried out successfully in well-mixed continuous systems, with steady-state data obtained at residence times of 0.58–3 d for SSF as well as 0.5 and 0.75 d for DMC. The SSF system achieved substrate conversions varying from 31% at a 0.58-d residence time to 86% at a 2-d residence time. At comparable substrate concentrations (4–5 g/l) and residence times (0.5–0.58 d), substrate conversion in the DMC system (77%) was significantly higher than that in the SSF system (31%). Our results suggest that the substrate conversion in SSF carried out in CSTR is relatively insensitive to enzyme loading in the range 7–25 U/g cellulose and to substrate concentration in the range of 5–60 g/L cellulose in the feed.
