Emission of 2-phenylethanol from its β-d-glucopyranoside and the biogenesis of these compounds from [H8] l-phenylalanine in rose flowers

The hydrolysis of 2-phenylethyl β-d-glucopyranoside (3) was found to be partially inhibited by feeding with 2-phenyl-N-glucosyl-acetamidiumbromide (8), a β-glucosidase inhibitor, resulting in a decrease in the diurnal emission of 2-phenylethanol (2) from Rosa damascena Mill. flowers. Detection of [1,1,2,2′,3′,4′,5′,6′-²H₈]-2 and [1,2,2′,3′,4′,5′,6′-²H₇]-2 from R. ‘Hoh-Jun’ flowers fed with [1,1,2,2′,3′,4′,5′,6′-²H₈]-3 suggested that β-glucosidase, alcohol dehydrogenase, and reductase might be involved in scent emission. Comprehensive GC-SIM analyses revealed that [1,2,2,2′,3′,4′,5′,6′-²H₈]-2 and [1,2,2,2′,3′,4′,5′,6′-²H₈]-3 must be biosynthesized from [1,2,2,2′,3′,4′,5′6′-²H₈] l-phenylalanine ([²H₈]-1) with a retention of the deuterium atom at α-position of [²H₈]-1.     

Synchronization of multiple bursting neurons ring coupled via impulsive variables

Synchronization behavior of bursting neurons is investigated in a neuronal network ring impulsively coupled, in which each neuron exhibits chaotic bursting behavior. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory and impulsive control theory, sufficient conditions for synchronization of the multiple systems coupled with impulsive variables can be obtained. The neurons become synchronous via suitable impulsive strength and resetting period. Furthermore, the result is obtained that synchronization among neurons is weakened with the increasing of the reset period and the number of neurons. Finally, numerical simulations are provided to show the effectiveness of the theoretical results.© 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 29–37, 2015     

Impulsive synchronization of time delay bursting neuron systems with unidirectional coupling

In the article, impulsive synchronization of chaotic bursting in Hindmarsh–Rose neuron systems with time delay via partial state signal is investigated. Based on impulsive control theory of dynamical systems, the sufficient conditions on feedback strength and impulsive interval are established to guarantee the synchronization. Numerical simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. The obtained results may be helpful to understand dynamical mechanism of signal transduction in real neuronal activity. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 38–46, 2015     

HPLC-DAD–MS Analysis of Anthocyanins in Rose Wine Made From cv. Öküzgözü Grapes,and Effect of Maceration Time on Anthocyanin Content

The anthocyanin composition of rose wine made from cv. Öküzgözü, a variety of grape native to Turkey, and the effect of maceration time (3, 6, 12, 18, or 24 h) on the anthocyanin content of the wine have been investigated. High-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection (HPLC-DAD) and mass spectrometry (MS) were used for anthocyanin analysis. Thirteen different anthocyanins, including five glucosides, five acetyl glucosides, and three coumaroyl glucosides were identified and quantified. It was found that an important characteristic of Öküzgözü rose wine was the presence of a large amount of malvidin-3-glucoside and its acylated esters. The total anthocyanin content of the wine increased with increasing maceration time. On the basis of sensory analysis, the most preferred wine was that produced with 3-h maceration, because of its better color and general flavor attributes.     

Metal and acid-free visible light-mediated Friedel-Crafts alkylation reactions of indole with anilines

Metal and acid-free visible light-induced Friedel-Crafts C3-alkylation reactions of indole derivatives were developed using N,N-dimethylanilines as the carbon source. A cheap and readily available organic dye, Rose Bengal, was applied as the photocatalyst. This environmentally friendly transformation afforded C3-alkylated indoles in moderate to good yields under mild conditions.     

Preparation of (1R,4S)-4-hydroxycyclopent-2-en-1-yl acetate via Novozym-435® catalyzed desymmetrization of cis-3,5-Diacetoxy-1-cyclopentene

Photooxidation of cyclopentadiene has been carried out in methanol using white light of LED lamp, rose bengal as photo initiator, and compressed air at 0?°C. Under conditions of [thiourea] ? [cyclopentadiene], the consumption of thiourea follows a pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics with half life of 75?±?10?min; corr. coeff. r?=?0.989. Slow addition of the monomer and maintaining excess thiourea concentration in reaction mass improves the yield. cis-3,5-Dihydroxy-1-cyclopentene is acetylated without isolation to obtain cis-3,5-Diacetoxy-1-cyclopentene of high purity (>99%) with overall isolated yield of 30%. Desymmetrization of the diacetate to (1R,4S)-4-hydroxycyclopent-2-en-1-yl acetate has been carried out via enzymatic transesterification with methanol in methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) at 5?°C using Novozym-435^®. The enantiomerically pure monoacetate (e.e. >99%) was obtained in 95% isolated yield. The recovered enzyme was reused for more than 10 times without loss in yield and selectivity. The entire protocol does not require purification of final product by chromatography.     

Modeling and dynamics of double Hindmarsh-Rose neuron with memristor-based magnetic coupling and time delay

The firing of a neuron model is mainly affected by the following factors:the magnetic field, external forcing current, time delay, etc. In this paper, a new time-delayed electromagnetic field coupled dual Hindmarsh-Rose neuron network model is constructed. A magnetically controlled threshold memristor is improved to represent the self-connected and the coupled magnetic fields triggered by the dynamic change of neuronal membrane potential for the adjacent neurons. Numerical simulation confirms that the coupled magnetic field can activate resting neurons to generate rich firing patterns, such as spiking firings, bursting firings, and chaotic firings, and enable neurons to generate larger firing amplitudes. The study also found that the strength of magnetic coupling in the neural network also affects the number of peaks in the discharge of bursting firing. Based on the existing medical treatment background of mental illness, the effects of time lag in the coupling process against neuron firing are studied. The results confirm that the neurons can respond well to external stimuli and coupled magnetic field with appropriate time delay, and keep periodic firing under a wide range of external forcing current.     

Effect of temperature on the photobehavior of Rose Bengal associated with dipalmitoylphosphatidyl choline liposomes

The association and photobehavior of Rose Bengal (RB) in the presence of dipalmitoylphosphatidyl choline (DPPC) small unilamellar liposomes is determined by the temperature. At temperatures above the main phase transition of the bilayer, the incorporation of the dye is ca. 2.5 times more efficient than that taking place when the bilayer is in the gel state. In both temperature ranges, adsorption isotherms show a noticeable anti-cooperativity that can be related to electrostatic repulsion between bound molecules. The photophysics and the photochemistry of the bound dye molecules also depend on the bilayer status. In particular, in the liquid crystalline state the surrounding of the dye is more polar and production of singlet oxygen is less efficient (Φ∼0.1). This reduced singlet oxygen production is partially due to a low triplet yield (Φ_T=0.35) and triplet self-quenching due to a high local RB concentration. In spite of these, tryptophan is efficiently photobleached when RB is associated to liposomes in the liquid crystalline state, probably due to a Type I mechanism favored by its high local concentration in the sensitized surroundings.     

Spectroscopic investigation of Rose Bengal/cyclodextrin interactions in aqueous solution: the case of the hydroxypropyl-cyclodextrins

The interaction of Rose Bengal (RB) with hydroxypropyl-α-cyclodextrin (HP-α-CD), hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) and hydroxypropyl-γ-cyclodextrin (HP-γ-CD) has been studied in water and in acetate buffer at pH 4.5 by UV–Vis absorption, fluorescence spectroscopy and Induced Circular Dichroism at 298 K. Evidence of the complex formation between the RB and all HP-CDs have been obtained both in water and in buffer. Binding constants and stoichiometry of RB/HP-CD complexes in water have been determined by applying the modified Benesi-Hildebrand equation to the fluorescence measurements.
