Induction of apoptosis by arachidonic acid in human retinoblastoma Y79 cells: involvement of oxidative stress
2000
Arachidonic acid administration caused apoptosis in Y79 cells, as shown by typical morphological changes, phosphatidylserine externalization, chromatin condensation, processing and activation of caspase-3 and cleavage of the endogenous caspase substrate poly-(ADP-ribose)-polymerase. Arachidonic acid also caused lamin B cleavage, suggesting caspase-6 activation. Arachidonic acid treatment was accompanied by increased formation of the lipid peroxidation end products malondialdehyde and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal, lowering in reduced glutathione content and in mitochondrial membrane potential. Inhibiting glutathione synthesis sensitized Y79 cells to apoptosis-inducing stimuli, whilst replenishing red…
NMR studies of benzoannulation in lithium, sodium and potassium ortho-formylphenolates
2010
Abstract Lithium, sodium and potassium derivatives of (benzo)salicylaldehydes have been prepared and characterized by 1 H and 13 C NMR in order to see how the metal cation and benzoannulation affect spectral parameters. There is no qualitative effect of the alkali metal atom in the compounds studied (from this point of view salicylaldehydes remind β-diketones). On the other hand, 1 H chemical shifts of the hydroxyl and formyl protons and 13 C chemical shifts of C2 (bearing OX, X = H, Li, Na or K) and of that the formyl carbon show the most significant variations being the best indicators of aromatic character of the six-membered quasi-ring of salicylaldehyde. In contrast, C1 (bearing formyl…
The Zwitterion [8,8′-μ-CH2O(CH3)-(1,2-C2B9H10)2-3,3′-Co]0 as a Versatile Building Block To Introduce Cobalt Bis(Dicarbollide) Ion into Organic Molecu…
2012
The synthesis of a new bridged [8,8′-μ-CH2O(CH3)-(1,2-C2B9H10)2-3,3′-Co]0 derivative (2), arising from the acid-catalyzed reaction of cobalt bis(1,2-dicarbollide)(1−) ion with formaldehyde, is reported. The proposed reaction path is supported by the isolation of side products including two zwitterionic compounds, the known bridged [8,8′-μ-(CH3O)-(1,2-C2B9H10)2-3,3′-Co]0 derivative (3), the new zwitterion [(8-(CH3)2O-1,2-C2B9H10)-(1′,2′-C2B9H11)-3,3′-Co]0 (4), and two anionic compounds—the known [(8,8′-Cl2-1,2-C2B9H10)2-3,3′-Co]− and the newly characterized dimethoxy derivative [(8,8′-(CH3O)2-1,2-C2B9H10)2-3,3′-Co]− of the cobalt bis(dicarbollide) ion. Compound 2 serves as a versatile buildi…
A Liquid-Liquid Biphasic Homogeneous Organocatalytic Aldol Protocol Based on the Use of a Silica Gel Bound Multilayered Ionic Liquid Phase
2012
An innovative two stage liquid–liquid biphasic homogeneous protocol for the asymmetric organocatalytic aldol reaction is proposed, based on the use of the cis-ion-tagged proline 8 dissolved in the liquid film of a multilayered ionic liquid covalently bonded to silica gel 4. The resulting catalytically active material 9 is first soaked with cyclohexanone in the presence of water, resulting in a semi-transparent gel, then the aldehyde is added and the mixture stirred at RT. In the first stage, 4 acts as a catalyst reservoir that delivers 8 to the cyclohexanone phase allowing the reaction to take place homogeneously. In the second stage, cyclohexanone is removed under vacuum and the resulting …
Recyclable Catalyst Reservoir: Oxidation of Alcohols Mediated by Noncovalently Supported Bis(imidazolium)-Tagged 2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidine 1-Oxyl
2013
Bis(imidazolium)-tagged 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl (TEMPO) catalysts were adsorbed on different supports such as silica gel, silica gel modified with highly cross-linked polymeric imidazolium networks, and highly cross-linked polymeric imidazolium networks entrapping magnetic particles. These systems provided a convenient tool for the oxidation of both primary and secondary alcohols working as recyclable reservoirs for the bis(imidazolium)-tagged TEMPO catalysts. By using EPR spectroscopy it was demonstrated that the catalyst was released as the corresponding oxoammonium salt in the solution during the recycling step, thus promoting the oxidative process in a homogeneous fashion. …
Visible-light driven oxidation of gaseous aliphatic alcohols to the corresponding carbonyls via TiO2 sensitized by a perylene derivative
2013
Sensitized P25 TiO2 was prepared by wet impregnation with a home-prepared perylene dye, i.e., N,N?-bis(2-(1- piperazino)ethyl)-3,4,9,10-perylene-tetracarboxylic acid diimide dichloride (PZPER). Energy levels of PZPER were found to be compatible with those of TiO2 allowing fast electron transfer. The obtained catalyst has been characterized and used in the gas-phase partial oxidation of aliphatic primary and secondary alcohols, i.e., methanol, ethanol, and 2- propanol. The reaction was carried out under cut-off (?> 400 nm) simulated solar radiation in O2 atmosphere. The perylene derivative allowed a good absorbance of visible radiation thanks to its low optical energy gap (2.6 eV) which was …
Impaired cellular cholesterol efflux by oxysterol-enriched high density lipoproteins.
1997
One of the proposed antiatherogenicity role of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) is believed to stimulate removal of cholesterol from the peripheral cells back to the liver for excretion. We have investigated the effects of oxidation-related modifications of HDL on their ability to stimulate cholesterol efflux from cultured cells. Human HDL (HDL3, 1.13 < d < 1.21 g/ml) have been modified either by malondialdehyde or by copper-mediated oxidation (Ox-HDL3). Compared with native HDL3, the modified HDL3 resulted in a significantly reduced efflux of labeled cholesterol from preloaded macrophages (P388D1 cell line). Analysis of lipid composition of Ox-HDL3 by gas chromatography revealed the presenc…
Influence of packaging on the aroma stability of strawberry syrup during shelf life
2001
Different types of packaging (glass bottle, PVC, and PET) were compared for the preservation of aroma quality of a strawberry syrup during shelf life. Esters, alcohols, and aldehydes were analyzed by solid-phase micro-extraction (SPME) and solvent extraction. During storage, hydrolysis of esters in acids and alcohols led to a modification of the aroma profile which can be explained by the replacement of “fruity” and “fresh” notes by “dairy note” in the syrup. Aroma compounds that are responsible for fruity notes, such as methyl cinnamate, methyl anthranilate, and methyl dihydrojasmonate, were strongly reduced after 90 days. This could be explained by a selective interaction of these compoun…
Isovaleraldehyde degradation using UV photocatalytic and dielectric barrier discharge reactors, and their combinations
2015
International audience; The abatement of isovaleraldehyde present in air was carried out in UV photocatalytic and dielectric barrier discharge reactors (and their combinations) for concentrations up to 150 mg C m−3 and air flow rates ranging from 4 to 10 m3 h−1. A kinetic study was performed following a Langmuir–Hinshelwood model. Photocatalytic treatment of an isovaleraldehyde and isovaleric acid mixture showed a clear inhibition of isovaleric acid abatement in presence of isovaleraldehyde. Dielectric barrier discharge treatment of isovaleraldehyde showed an increase of removal efficiency with applied voltage and a decrease with air flow rate and inlet concentration. Moreover, introduction…
Affinity chromatography with triazine dyes immobilized onto activated non-porous monodisperse silicas
1988
Abstract Non-porous monodisperse silicas with a particle diameter of 2.1 μm were modified with different silanes for immobilization of various triazine dyes including Procion Red HE3B, Procion Red MX5B, and Cibacron Blue F3GA. Lactate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase from different species and aldehyde reductase from rat brain were purified by affinity elution using the substrate of the enzyme and NADH. With Cibacron F3GA the selectivity for NADH-dependent enzymes was higher than with the two Procion dyes. The utility of these immobilized triazine dye systems on non-porous silica supports for the rapid separation of Cohn Fraction III plasma proteins, including plasminogen, is also des…
