FORMATION OF ALIPHATIC CARBOXYLIC ACIDS DURING ALKALINE PULPING OF MULI BAMBOO
2002
ABSTRACT A study on the formation of aliphatic carboxylic acids, i.e., formic and acetic acids and various hydroxy monocarboxylic and dicarboxylic acids, during soda-AQ, kraft, and kraft-AQ pulping of muli bamboo (Melocanna baccifera) was carried out. Detailed gas chromatographic analyses revealed that the most abundant hydroxy carboxylic acids were 2-hydroxybutanoic, lactic, glucoisosaccharinic, glycolic, xyloisosaccharinic, 3,4-dideoxypentonic, and 3-deoxypentonic acids. The presence of AQ depressed the formation of 2-hydroxybutanoic, xyloisosaccharinic, and glucoisosaccharinic acids, and accelerated the formation of glycolic and 3-deoxypentonic acids as well as 3-deoxytetronic acid but h…
SF002-96-1, a new drimane sesquiterpene lactone from an Aspergillus species, inhibits survivin expression
2013
Survivin, a member of the IAP (inhibitor of apoptosis) gene family, is overexpressed in virtually all human cancers and is functionally involved in the inhibition of apoptosis, regulation of cell proliferation, metastasis and resistance to therapy. Because of its upregulation in malignancy, survivin has currently attracting considerable interest as a new target for anticancer therapy. In a screening of approximately 200 strains of imperfect fungi for the production of inhibitors of survivin promoter activity, a new drimane sesquiterpene lactone, SF002-96-1, was isolated from fermentations of an Aspergillus species. The compound inhibited survivin promoter activity in transiently transfected…
Über die Verbreitung von Flavonoiden bei akrokarpen Laubmoosen
1978
Summary The methanolic extract from the sporophytes of the moss Ceratodon purpureus (L.) Brid . (Ditrichaceae) contains one flavonoid. It was isolated and purified by means of paper chromatography and identified by cochromatography with authentic material and by UV-spectral data as luteolin. No glycosides of either luteolin or another flavonoid could be detected.
Quantitative determination of the main aliphatic carboxylic acids in wood kraft black liquors by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrom…
2006
The versatile characterization of organic material and especially of the significant aliphatic hydroxy acids in black liquor is of great importance, for example, in monitoring the progress of the kraft pulping process. This paper describes a simple high-performance liquid chromatographic separation method with atmospheric-pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (HPLC-APCI-MS) which was developed for the rapid quantitative analysis of these acids, mainly formed as the alkaline degradation products of feedstock carbohydrates. The fraction of carbohydrate degradation products is mainly composed of hydroxy monocarboxylic and volatile acids (formic and acetic acids) along with lesser amou…
Clicked and long spaced galactosyl- and lactosylcalix[4]arenes: New multivalent galectin-3 ligands
2014
Four novel calix[4]arene-based glycoclusters were synthesized by conjugating the saccharide units to the macrocyclic scaffold using the CuAAC reaction and using long and hydrophilic ethylene glycol spacers. Initially, two galactosylcalix[4]arenes were prepared starting from saccharide units and calixarene cores which differ in the relative dispositions of the alkyne and azido groups. Once the most convenient synthetic pathway was selected, two further lactosylcalix[4]arenes were obtained, one in the cone, the other one in the 1,3-alternate structure. Preliminary studies of the interactions of these novel glycocalixarenes with galectin-3 were carried out by using a lectin-functionalized chip…
Electrochemical technology for the treatment of real washing machine effluent at pre-pilot plant scale by using active and non-active anodes
2018
Abstract Real effluent of washing machine is one of the major sources of microplastics and fabrics in municipal and surface water. The effluents constitute large volume of wastewater with different surfactants since every household and industries nowadays use washing machine rather than traditional hand washing. In this work, a real effluent of washing machine was treated by electrooxidation (EO) in a pre-pilot plant scale electrochemical flow reactor using active (Ti/Pt) or non-active (boron doped diamond (BDD)) anodes and Ti cathode. The effect of anode material (Ti/Pt or BDD) and the applied current density (16.6, 33.3 and 66.6 mA cm−2) on the decay of the organic matter, in terms of che…

In the title compound, C26H20N2O3, the two aromatic rings of the tricyclic unit are oriented at a dihedral angle of 54.53 (9)°. The crystal structure displays intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonding.
Periphyton pigment analyses using paper chromatography
1983
Paper chromatography was used to study the community structure, the proportion of degraded chlorophylls to the total pigment content, and the chlorophyll and carotenoid content of the epilithic periphyton algae from Lake Tahoe, California-Nevada. Analyses were made using both samples directly from the lake and cultured periphytic algae. The extraction was made with boiling 100% methanol; two dimensional chromatography was used to separate the pigments. The relative contribution of different pigment fractions to total light absorption by the complete periphyton extract was estimated by planimetric integration of absorption curves. From the pigment structure, estimates were made of the propor…
Über die Verbreitung von Flavonoiden bei pleurokarpen Laubmoosen I. Apigenin-7-rhamnoglucosid bei Hylocomium splendens (Hedw.) Br. eur.
1977
Summary 15 species of pleurocarpous mosses have been investigated as to their content of flavonoids. Flavonoid tests on 14 species have given negative results. Only one species, Hylocomium splendens , contains one flavonoid. It was purified by means of paper chromatography and is by chromatography and absorption spectrum identical with rhoifolin (apigenin-7-neohesperidoside). Partial acid hydrolysis yields apigenin-7-monoglucoside and rhamnose, quantitative hydrolysis apigenin, rhamnose and glucose. They were identified by comparison with authentic samples.
Über die Verbreitung von Flavonoiden bei pleurokarpen Laubmoosen II. Apigenin and Apigenin-7-rhamnoglucosid bei Pleurozium schreberi (Willd.) Mitt.
1980
Summary 12 species of pleurocarpous mosses have been investigated as to their content of flavonoids. Flavonoid tests on 11 species have given negative results. Only one species, Pleurozium schreberi , contains three flavonoids. They were purified by means of paper chromatography. Two of them are by chromatography, acid hydrolysis and absorption spectrum identical with apigenin and apigenin-7-rhamnoglucoside. The third flavonoid is as yet unidentified. Qualitative hydrolysis yields apigenin. The chemotaxonomic importance of the results is briefly discussed.
