Gelation behavior of 5-chloro-8-hydroxyquinoline, an antituberculosis agent, in aqueous alcohol solutions
2012
It was shown that 5-chloro-8-hydroxyquinoline, an antituberculosis agent, gels aqueous alcohol solutions efficiently. Thermal stability and gel-to-sol transition temperature of 1% gel in CD3OD/D2O (2:1) was studied by 1H-NMR. Fibrous structures of four xerogels have been characterized by scanning electron microscope. peerReviewed
Ellipsoid-shaped superparamagnetic nanoclusters through emulsion electrospinning.
2015
Ellipsoid-shaped nanoclusters composed of single superparamagnetic nanoparticles can be generated by emulsion electrospinning. Stretching and subsequent solvent evaporation of iron oxide loaded emulsion droplets during the emulsion electrospinning process enables the creation of such structures embedded in polymer nanofibers. Dissolution of the polymer fibers yields an aqueous dispersion of the inorganic clusters which are the first example of ellipsoid-shaped superparamagnetic nanoclusters with a high saturation magnetization (∼47 emu g(-1)).
Crystal structure of lactitol (4-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-D-glucitol) dihydrate.
1992
Abstract Lactitol dihydrate, C 12 H 24 O 11 ·2H 2 O, is tetragonal, space group P 4 3 2 1 2 with cell dimensions a and b = 8.762(1), c = 45.500(3) A, and V = 3493.2(3) A 3 ; Z = 8, D x = 1.45 Mg.m −3 , λ(Cu- K α ) = 1.54056 A, μ = 1.108 mm −1 , F (000) = 1632, and T = 23°. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by least-squares calculations to R = 0.054 for 2037 unique observed reflections. There are three intra- and twelve inter-molecular hydrogen bonds in the structure. Bond lengths and angles accord quite well with the mean values of related structures. The galactopyranosyl ring has a chair of conformation.
Design, synthesis, and SAR analysis of cytotoxic sinapyl alcohol derivatives.
2005
Five series totalling 51 of sinapyl alcohol derivatives were designed and synthesized. Their cytotoxicity analyses were performed oil six human tumor cell lines Such as PC-3. CNE, KB, A549, BEL-7404, and HeLa. Certain sinapyl alcohol derivatives showed significant cytotoxic activities. Compound 14d exhibited especially potent cytotoxicity against the BEL-7404 cell line with an IC50 value of 0.7 mu M, which showed more cytotoxic activity than the positive control, cisplatin. The structure-cytotoxicity relationships were discussed and the CoMFA analysis was performed using the cytotoxic data against HeLa cells as a template. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Crystal structure of lactitol (4-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-D-glucitol).
1992
Abstract Lacitol, C 12 H 24 O 11 , is monoclinic, space group P 2 1 with cell dimensions a = 7.614(1), b = 10.757(1), c = 9.370(1) A, β = 108.19(1)°, and V = 729.0(1) A 3 ; Z = 2, D x = 1.57 Mg.m −3 , λ(Cu- K α ) = 1.5406 A, μ = 1.166 mm −1 , F (000) = 368, and T = 23°. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by least-squares calculations to R = 0.048 for 1510 unique observed reflections. There are one intra- and eight inter-molecular hydrogen bonds in the structure. Bond lengths and angles accord well with the mean values of related structures. The galactopyranosyl ring has a chair conformation.
New antitumoral acetogenin ‘Guanacone type’ derivatives: Isolation and bioactivity. Molecular dynamics simulation of diacetyl-guanacone
2007
We describe herein the isolation and semisynthesis of four acetogenin derivatives (1-4) as well as their ability to inhibit the mitochondrial respiratory chain and several tumor cell lines. In addition, four nanoseconds (ns) of MD simulation of compound 4, in a fully hydrated POPC bilayer, is reported.
Active surfaces engineered by immobilizing protein-polymer nanoreactors for selectively detecting sugar alcohols.
2016
We introduce active surfaces generated by immobilizing protein-polymer nanoreactors on a solid support for sensitive sugar alcohols detection. First, such selective nanoreactors were engineered in solution by simultaneous encapsulation of specific enzymes in copolymer polymersomes, and insertion of membrane proteins for selective conduct of sugar alcohols. Despite the artificial surroundings, and the thickness of the copolymer membrane, functionality of reconstituted Escherichia coli glycerol facilitator (GlpF) was preserved, and allowed selective diffusion of sugar alcohols to the inner cavity of the polymersome, where encapsulated ribitol dehydrogenase (RDH) enzymes served as biosensing e…
Cytochrome c in a Dry Trehalose Matrix: Structural and Dynamical Effects Probed by X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy
2007
AbstractWe report on the structure and dynamics of the Fe ligand cluster of reduced horse heart cytochrome c in solution, in a dried polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film, and in two trehalose matrices characterized by different contents of residual water. The effect of the solvent/matrix environment was studied at room temperature using Fe K-edge x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy. XAFS data were analyzed by combining ab initio simulations and multi-parameter fitting in an attempt to disentangle structural from disorder parameters. Essentially the same structural and disorder parameters account adequately for the XAFS spectra measured in solution, both in the absence and in the pre…
Ligand structures of synthetic deoxa-pyranosylamines with raucaffricine and strictosidine glucosidases provide structural insights into their binding…
2014
Insight into the structure and inhibition mechanism of O-β-d-glucosidases by deoxa-pyranosylamine type inhibitors is provided by X-ray analysis of complexes between raucaffricine and strictosidine glucosidases and N-(cyclohexylmethyl)-, N-(cyclohexyl)- and N-(bromobenzyl)-β-d-gluco-1,5-deoxa-pyranosylamine. All inhibitors anchored exclusively in the catalytic active site by competition with appropriate enzyme substrates. Thus facilitated prospective elucidation of the binding networks with residues located at <3.9 A distance will enable the development of potent inhibitors suitable for the production of valuable alkaloid glucosides, raucaffricine and strictosidine, by means of synthesis in …
Stereoselective Synthesis and Cytoselective Toxicity of Monoterpene-Fused 2-Imino-1,3-thiazines
2014
Starting from pinane-, apopinane- and carane-based 1,3-amino alcohols obtained from monoterpene-based β-amino acids, a library of monoterpene-fused 2-imino-1,3-thiazines as main products and 2-thioxo-1,3-oxazines as side-products were prepared via two- or three-step syntheses. When thiourea adducts prepared from 1,3-amino alcohols and aryl isothiocyanates were reacted with CDI under mild conditions, O-imidazolylcarbonyl intermediates were isolated which could be transformed to the desired 1,3-thiazines under microwave conditions. 1,3-Thiazines and 2-thioxo-1,3-oxazine side-products could also be prepared in one-step reactions through the application of CDI and microwave irradiation. The rin…
