The structure of glibenclamide in the solid state

The structure of glibenclamide, 5‐chloro‐N‐(2‐{4‐[(cyclohexylamino)carbonyl] aminosulfonyl}phenyl) ethyl)‐2‐methoxybenzamide, an important antidiabetic drug, has been studied both in solution and in the solid state by a combination of NMR spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. The possibility that glibenclamide suffers a tautomerization under melting to afford a desmotrope was rejected. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

固体核磁共振Multiple-CP定量技术的参数优化与应用研究

固体核磁共振Multiple-CP定量技术可实现对不同体系、 不同定量信息的检测. 然而, Multiple-CP对样品属性的宽容度较低, 其中有关样品属性的核磁共振参数包括氢的自旋晶格弛豫时间(T_1,H)、 交叉弛豫时 间(T_CH)和自旋锁定场下氢的自旋晶格弛豫时间(T_{\mathrm{1}\rho }^{\text{?}\mathrm{H}})等. 因而需要系统地掌握Multiple-CP各种实验参数与样品上述特性参数之间的关系, 从而确定Multiple-CP技术可适用的体系范围以及最优的实验参数范围. 基于此, 首先以L-丙氨酸为模型样品, 探讨在Multiple-CP实验中弛豫恢复时间(t_d)、 交叉极化接触时间(t_p)和交叉极化次数(n) 3种实验参数对分子中基团比例测量结果的影响规律. 并以L-缬氨酸、 L-丙氨酸/L-缬氨酸的混合物为模型样品, 探讨样品特性参数的差异性对Multiple-CP实验参数范围的影响. 实验结果表明, t_p受T_CH和\text{?}{T}_{\mathrm{1}\rho }^{\text{?}\mathrm{H}}的影响较大. 对于纯净物或均相体系, T_CH是影响t_p参数设置的关键. 依据实验数据发现, 当样品中各基团T_CH差异度小于8%时, 实验对t_p的宽容度较高; 对于混合物体系, 需同时考虑混合物中组分\text{?}{T}_{\mathrm{1}\rho }^{\text{?}\mathrm{H}\text{?}}差异度的影响. 当组分\text{?}{T}_{\mathrm{1}\rho }^{\text{?}\mathrm{H}\text{?}}差异度为32%、 各基团T_CH差异度为21%时, Multiple-CP对t_p的宽容度高, 可在较宽的参数范围内实现定量检测. 而当T_CH差异度较大时, 获取定量结果时t_p的参数范围较小, 实验条件较苛刻. Multiple-CP定量方法更适用于T_CH和\text{?}{T}_{\mathrm{1}\rho }^{\text{?}\mathrm{H}\text{?}}差异度较小的样品体系的定量研究. 通过研究样品T_CH和\text{?}{T}_{\mathrm{1}\rho }^{\text{?}\mathrm{H}\text{?}}对实验参数的影响, 总结了Multiple-CP方法所适用的样品体系特征, 为使用Multiple-CP进行定量检测提供可参考的参数设置方案.     

A structural study of new tetrakis(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methanes

Tetrakis(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methanes are very rare compounds of which only two are known: the unsubstituted 1 obtained classically by Hückel in 1937 from carbon tetrachloride and prepared again several times and the 3,5-dimethyl substituted 2 obtained serendipitously by Pombeiro in 2009. We have now extended this group to include four new derivatives 8, 9, 11 and 12 bearing methyl groups. The X-ray crystal structure of the four compounds has been determined. They have been studied by NMR both in solution (¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N) and in the solid state (¹³C and ¹⁵N). DFT calculations of the six compounds (geometries, energies and absolute shieldings) have been used to discuss the experimental observations.     

The structure of fosfomycin salts in solution and in the solid state by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and DFT calculations

Two samples of fosfomycin salts, the calcium and the disodium ones, were used to record their NMR spectra both in solution and in the solid state. The existence of fosfomycin in a neutral and two ionized structures (mono and dianion) was considered to interpret the spectra that were solved using the GIAO calculated chemical shifts of the minimum energy conformations. Although the starting materials were dianions, the spectra in solution show the presence of monoanions.     

基于固体核磁共振技术的固体酸结构、酸性及活性分析

固体酸是工业烃转化和生物质精炼中应用最广泛的非均相催化剂之一，了解它们的局部结构和酸性等性质有利于合理设计高效绿色固体酸催化剂，从而提高目标反应的活性和稳定性.近年来，固体核磁共振波谱在定性和定量表征固体酸的局部结构和酸性方面已显示出巨大的应用潜力，甚至可作为一种标准方法.二维固体核磁共振波谱的应用可以进一步揭示固体酸表面位点的结构对称性和不同位点的空间构效关系，从而加深对“催化剂结构-酸性-活性关系”的理解.在这篇综述中，我们总结了用于固体酸表征的固体核磁共振波谱方法和常规实验操作流程，并着重阐述了在使用和不使用探针分子的情况下，固体核磁共振波谱应用于固体酸局部结构和酸性性质研究的进展.     

锆掺杂TiO_2光催化降解2-CEES和DMMP的原位红外与固体核磁研究

在国内率先将金属离子掺杂型纳米TiO_2用于化学毒剂(CWAs)洗消领域,制备了系列浓度的锆掺杂纳米TiO_2(Zr-TiO_2).为了从分子水平上认识Zr-TiO_2对CWAs的消毒机制,结合原位红外(in-situ FTIR)与固体核磁共振(SSNMR)技术,研究了掺杂前后样品表面2-CEES和DMMP的反应机理和动力学变化.结果显示:制备样品中无尿素残留,且掺杂浓度为10.05%的Zr-TiO_2光催化活性最佳;与掺杂前相比,该样品对2-CEES和DMMP的光催化降解速率加快,但反应机制不变:对DMMP的降解主要通过同时发生P-OCH3氧化和P-CH3分解,对2-CEES则依次通过C—Cl键断裂、C—S键断裂和S原子氧化完成降解,两种模拟剂在反应过程中均未生成有毒中间产物.通过研究,建立了适用于化学毒剂洗消领域的原位在线分析方法,掌握了模拟剂的光催化消毒反应机理、产物与动力学规律,为今后实毒样品的测试打下了基础.     

High-resolution solid-state NMR structure of Alanyl-Prolyl-Glycine

We present a de novo high-resolution structure of the peptide Alanyl-Prolyl-Glycine using a combination of sensitive solid-state NMR techniques that each yield precise structural constraints. High-quality ¹³C–¹³C distance constraints are extracted by fitting rotational resonance width (R²W) experiments using Multimode Multipole Floquet Theory and experimental chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) orientations. In this strategy, a structure is first calculated using DANTE-REDOR and torsion angle measurements and the resulting relative CSA orientations are used as an input parameter in the ¹³C–¹³C distance calculations. Finally, a refined structure is calculated using all the constraints. We investigate the effect of different structural constraints on structure quality, as determined by comparison to the crystal structure and also self-consistency of the calculated structures. Inclusion of all or subsets of these constraints into CNS calculations resulted in high-quality structures (0.02 Å backbone RMSD using all 11 constraints).     

Chemical, spectroscopic characterization, DFT studies and initial pharmacological assays of a silver(I) complex with N-acetyl-l-cysteine

A new silver(I) complex with N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) of composition AgC₅H₈NO₃S·H₂O was synthesized and characterized by a set of chemical and spectroscopic measurements. Solid-state ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) and infrared (IR) analyses indicate the coordination of the ligand to Ag(I) through the sulfur atom. The Ag-NAC complex is slightly soluble in dimethyl sulfoxide. It is insoluble in water, methanol, ethanol, acetone and hexane. Antibacterial activity of the silver complex with N-acetyl-l-cysteine (Ag-NAC) was evaluated by antibiogram assays using the disc diffusion method. The compound showed an effective antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive), Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Gram-negative) bacterial cells. Biological analysis for evaluation of a potential cytotoxic effect of Ag-NAC was performed using HeLa cells derived from human cervical adenocarcinoma. The complex presented a significant cytotoxic activity, inducing 80% of cell death at a concentration of 200 μmol L⁻¹.     

Determination of chemical shift anisotropies of unresolved carbonyl sites by C-alpha detection under magic-angle spinning

We demonstrate that the static powder pattern line shape of chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) can be obtained for unresolved carbonyl sites of polypeptides under magic-angle spinning. The CSA interaction is first recoupled at the carbonyl site. The phase factors associated with the CSA recoupling are then transferred to the adjacent alpha carbon by an isotropic polarization transfer based on scalar spin-spin coupling. Because alpha carbons of polypeptides are usually better resolved, we can then obtain the CSA static powder pattern line shapes of the carbonyl sites after Fourier transformation in the second dimension. We validate our approach experimentally by measurements on [U-(13)C, (15)N]-l-alanine, [U-(13)C, (15)N]-l-valine and prion fibrils with uniform (13)C and (15)N labels on selected residues.     

PVPh/PEO共混物动力学演化过程的NMR研究

聚合物共混物中链段的慢取向运动与其玻璃化转变行为和宏观力学性质密切关联,而基于化学位移各向异性重聚的~(13)C CODEX(centerband-only detection of exchange)固体核磁共振(SSNMR)技术能够有效表征共混物中链段的慢取向运动.该文利用~(13)C CODEX NMR技术详细研究了相容性聚合物共混物聚乙烯基苯酚/聚氧乙烯(PVPh/PEO)中的刚性组分PVPh在较宽温度范围内的慢取向运动特性与玻璃化转变过程的关联.研究表明,在玻璃化转变起始温度以下,PVPh主链的分子运动被冻结,而侧基存在b-松弛的慢取向运动;在玻璃化转变起始温度附近,PVPh主链具有明显的慢取向运动,而且主链和侧基是一种协同的分子运动.该文利用NMR技术揭示了共混物中的玻璃化转变起止温度分别对应于高分子主链慢取向运动CODEX信号的开始和极大值处的温度.
