Parity-Controlled Self-Assembly of Supramolecular Helices in a Gold(I)–Copper(II) Coordination System with Penicillamine and Bis(diphenylphosphino)alkane
A unique gold(I)–copper(II) 1D polymeric system, [Cu{Au2(LCn)(pen)2}] (LCn = Ph2P(CH2)nPPh2 (n = 3, 4, and 5); H2pen: penicillamine), which involves three types of helices (single-stranded homochir...
We propose a pilot-based coding (PBC) scheme for lossless bit rate reduction of parametric stereo (PS) in enhanced aacPlus. It uses PBC in addition to the existing frequency and time differential coding to encode and decode PS parameter indexes. We also design optimal Huffman codebooks (HCBs) for PBC in the proposed scheme. Experiments show that the proposed scheme is superior to the original coding scheme, where both the new coding structure and the optimal HCBs contribute to the bit rate reduction.

Metal triflates and tetrafluoroborates as water-tolerant Lewis acids for cationic polymerization in aqueous media
Metal triflates or tetrafluoroborates, such as Zn(OTf)2, Cu(OTf)2, Sn(OTf)2, and Zn(BF4)2 (OTf = −OSO2CF3), were employed as water-tolerant Lewis acids for the emulsion cationic polymerization of p-methoxystyrene (pMOS) in heterogeneous aqueous media. All these metal compounds, in addition to rare earth metal triflates such as Yb(OTf)3 already reported by us, induced the polymerization of pMOS in conjunction with the pMOS−HCl adduct (1) (initiator) and dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (surfactant) at 30 °C in water. The pMOS polymerization was controlled, where the molecular weights of the polymer increased with monomer conversion and the molecular weight distributions were relatively narrow (Mw/Mn ∼ 1.4). 1H NMR analysis of the obtained polymers showed that the chlorine atom originating from 1 was attached to the growing polymer terminal. In addition, the water tolerance of these catalysts was confirmed by 19F NMR analysis. Thus, the emulsion cationic polymerization proceeds via reversible activation of...
A fluorometric enzyme assay was developed to evaluate the ability of a variety of compounds to bind to and/or inhibit pyroglutamyl aminopeptidase I. Among these compounds were a series of chloromethyl ketone analogues of thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) which had previously been shown to possess TRH-like activity in the central nervous system and have now been found to be good inhibitors of pyroglutamyl aminopeptidase. Thus, it is suggested that the observed TRH-like CNS activity could derive indirectly from inhibition of endogenous TRH degradation by pyroglutamyl aminopeptidase I.

Study of the thermo-oxidative stability and antioxidant effectiveness of bisphenols of different structure
The thermo-oxidative stability and antioxidant effectiveness of bisphenols obtained by the condensation of 2-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol with C 1 -C 5 aldehydes of aliphatic series have been studied for the first time. It has been established that these features of synthesized bisphenols depend on the structure of the hydrocarbon bridge between the phenyl groups, and their oxidation proceeds according to the laws governing the process of liquid-phase oxidation. It has been shown that the degradation of the investigated series of bisphenols is described by a kinetic equation with an order of the reaction of 1.25n and E a = 74.4 kJ/mole.
The size effect on thermal conductivity of free standing wires with square cross-section is investigated. The thermal conductivity is calculated using the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE). A simple expression for the reduction in conductivity due to the increase of boundary scattering is presented. The thermal conductivity of the wires is found to decrease rapidly below the bulk values. This decrease in square wires is smaller than that which occurs in a film with out-of-plane heat flux. The values of thermal conductivities deduced from our calculation agree well with the experimental data of sodium wires.

Inhibitor protection of steels in acid and neutral media by the derivatives of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole
We study the anticorrosion properties of newly synthesized derivatives of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole and the efficiency of their action in compositions based on the wastes of production of ɛ-caprolactam at the Chernihiv “Khimvolokno” Open Joint-Stock Company. A conclusion is made that these compounds can be used as corrosion inhibitors for 20 steel placed in acid and neutral media. The efficiency of application of protective compositions based on the wastes of production of ɛ-caprolactam with admixtures of the derivatives of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole is demonstrated for working media with pH 1–6.5.
Abstract Asymmetric total synthesis of small ring macrolide stagonolide-E has been described in this communication. The main highlight of our synthetic strategy is the application of ME-DKR (metal enzyme combo dynamic kinetic resolution) reaction, asymmetric reduction with Noyori’s BINAL-H reagent system, stereoselective cross metathesis, and RCM (ring closing metathesis) reaction at a late stage enables us to achieve the synthesis of the target molecule in an efficient way.

Synthesis of chiral γ -sultams through intramolecular reductive amination with sulfonylcarbamate as N- source
Abstract An efficient and enantioselective palladium-catalyzed intramolecular asymmetric reductive amination with sulfonylcarbamates as N -sources was reported, providing a facile and general access to the chiral γ -sultam derivatives with up to 97% of enantioselectivity. This tandem process avoids additional deprotection manipulation and arduous isolation of the N -sulfonyl-imine intermediates.
Organic contamination adsorbed on 200 mm silicon wafers was characterized using various analytical techniques. Surface hydrophobicity, apparent optical thickness and electrical surface charge are used to characterize the silicon surface state. They only give information on total organic contamination. MIR-FTIR is very sensitive for detecting CH2 and CH3 contained in organics on silicon wafers. TOF-SIMS is quite sensitive and enables some of the organics to be recognized by identifying the molecule fragments. TDGC-MS is the most relevant technique to identify organic contamination on silicon wafers as extensive identification libraries exist.

Effect of σ,π conjugation on199Hg chemical shifts
The199Hg NMR spectra of compounds of the type HgCC=C and HgCC=0 have been studied and it has been shown that C-Hg/ π conjugation produces a sharp increase in the shielding of the mercury nucleus.
A variety of push–pull type organic dyes are facilely synthesized through the most atom-economical C–H/C–H dehydrogenative coupling reactions. After comprehensive synthetic optimizations, a broad substrate scope is achieved and functional groups, such as ester, ketone, nitrile, nitro, and triazene are well tolerated. The sensitive aldehyde group required for the conversion into anchoring groups for DSSCs applications is also compatible under present oxidant-containing reaction conditions. Based on this optimum C–H/C–H coupling approach, three new organic sensitizers are readily prepared and submitted to solar cell device fabrications, giving the power conversion efficiency (PCE) up to 4.85%. This work constitutes the first example that connects high atom-efficiency C–H/C–H green catalysis with dye-sensitized solar cell applications.

Hydroxy-Substituted Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Ions as Sources of CO and HCO in the Interstellar Medium
Tandem mass spectrometry was used to explore the trends in the unimolecular fragmentation of the ionized hydroxy-substituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons 1-naphthol, 9-hydroxyphenanthrene and 1-hydroxypyrene. The main dissociation reactions across all ring systems were CO- and HCO-loss, with ionized 1-naphthol also losing H atoms. Both ionized 1-naphthol and 9-hydroxyphenanthrene displayed the sequential loss of C2H2 and C4H2 from the [M-HCO]+ ions, reminiscent of unsubstituted PAH ions. CO-loss is slightly favored for 1-naphthol and 9-hydroxyphenanthrene at low collision energy, but less so for 1-hydroxypyrene. Reaction mechanisms for HCO- and CO-losses from 1-hydroxypyrene were derived from CCSD/6-31G(d)//B3-LYP/6-31G(d) calculations. The CO-loss mechanism is dominated by two transition states, TS-A governing a 1,3-H shift in the molecular ion, and TS-C which governs a ring-closing step to form a five-member ring in the product ion. HCO-loss occurs over a much flatter potential energy surface with t...
In search of protective antigens which can be used in a vaccine to prevent Helicobacter pylori infection, we report on the identification of four genes, hopV, hopW, hopX and hopY, and the characterization of the corresponding proteins which belong to the H. pylori outer membrane protein (Hop) family containing 32 homologous members, some of which were shown to function as porins. Sequence analysis of 16 different H. pylori strains revealed that the proteins HopV, HopW, HopX and HopY are highly conserved. Localization of HopV, HopW, HopX and HopY at the surface of the bacteria was investigated by immunofluorescence. Using a planar lipid bilayer system the proteins HopV and HopX were shown to form pores with single-channel conductances of 1.4 and 3.0 nS, respectively.

New variation on a theme: structure and mechanism of action of hydrolytic antibody 7F11, an aspartate rich relation of catalytic antibodies 17E8 and 29G11
Abstract A computer model, based on homology, of the catalytic antibody 7F11 that catalyses the decomposition of the benzoate ester of a dioxetane resulting in chemiluminescence is reported. Antibody 7F11 has 89% identity in the V L domain, and 72% identity in the V H domain with hydrolytic antibodies 17E8 and 29G11 previously reported by Scanlan et al. These were also raised against a phosphonate containing hapten. The antigen-binding site of antibody 7F11 whilst similar to that of 17E8 has aspartic acids at positions 33H and 35H, reminiscent in position of the catalytic residues found in aspartate proteinases such as pepsin. AutoDock 3.0 has been used to identify the best binding mode for the hapten. Molecular dynamic simulations have also been undertaken to examine any major conformational changes induced by hapten binding. A mechanism for benzoate ester hydrolysis involving the aspartic acid side-chains is proposed. Construction of a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) of 7F11 is also reported.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of 2-(4-methylsulfonyl phenyl) indole derivatives: multi-target compounds with dual antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities
Three series of 2-(4-methylsulfonylphenyl) indole derivatives have been designed and synthesized. The synthesized compounds were assessed for their antimicrobial, COX inhibitory and anti-inflammatory activities. Compound 7g was identified to be the most potent antibacterial candidate against strains of MRSA, E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, and A. baumannii, respectively, with safe therapeutic dose. Compounds 7a–k, 8a–c, and 9a–c showed good anti-inflammatory activity with excessive selectivity towards COX-2 in comparison with reference drugs indomethacin and celecoxib. Compounds 9a–c were found to release moderate amounts of NO to decrease the side effects associated with selective COX-2 inhibitors. A molecular modeling study for compounds 7b, 7h, and 7i into COX-2 active site was correlated with the results of in vitro COX-2 inhibition assays.
Abstract Heparin and dextran sulphate (DS) enhanced the thrombin/antithrombin III (AT III) reaction by stoichiometric binding to the enzyme in the absence of chloride ions. This binding and the tight association of heparin with the trhombin residue in its complex with AT III was demonstrated by a gel permeation chromatographic technique. Since the catalytic ability of heparin was superior to that of DS, loose association of the sulphated polysaccharides with thrombin was essential for their catalytic action.

An effective scalar magnetic interaction for resonantly trapped atoms
Atoms can be trapped using a combination of static and rotating magnetic fields. A theoretical analysis is performed of a rotating polarization axis that is used to eliminate regions of zero coupling. A similar result is found using linear polarization, but in the case of circular polarization no orientational dependence in the coupling remains when on resonance.
Using the ADAPT and CHEMLAB-II systems for structure-activity analysis, computer-calculated electronic properties of molecules were used to derive structure-activity relationships for predicting the mutagenicity of a set of substituted acridines in strain TA1537 of the Ames Salmonella assay. A collection of 40 acridines, with a variety of substituents, was examined. A set of 4 electronic descriptors was found which could be used to correctly classify all but two of the compounds as mutagenic or nonmutagenic. A negative correlation was found between the sum of the Hammett aromatic substituent parameters and the level of mutagenicity of the structures, expressed as log(number of revertants/plate + 1) at a 20-micrograms dose. This correlation, however, was not high enough to allow precise estimation of the mutagenicity values.

Preparation and characterization of Phthalocyanine Blue encapsulated with silane coupling agent for blue light curable inkjet printing of textiles
Abstract A novel reactive organic pigment complex was prepared by 3-(Trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate encapsulated on the surface of the organic pigment. The preparation conditions of the reactive organic pigment complex were optimized and the properties were characterized by FT-IR, DLS and UV–vis. The reactive organic pigment complex was used in blue-light curable pigment inks. The results showed that the photo-polymerization performance of the novel blue light curable pigment ink system was markedly increased in comparison with conventional pigment-based ink systems. The physical shielding effect of pigment particles on photo-polymerization performance can be reduced by increasing the photoinitiator concentration and irradiation intensities. The colorfastness to crocking of printed fabric was remarkably improved. However, the particle size of reactive organic pigment complex was slightly increased.
From a physiological point of view, a close correlation has been suggested between the induction of embryogenesis, i.e. morphological differentiation, and that of anthocyanln synthesis, i.e. metabolic differentiation. I established a carrot suspension culture system in which anthocyanin synthesis and embryogenesis could be induced in the same culture and studled their relations. The results suggested that induction of anthocyanin and that of cell division, or undifferentiated growth, were the alter natures regulated by 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D). The activities of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and chalcone synthase (CHS) were found to play key roles in the regulation of anthocyanin synthesis by 2, 4-D. PAL and CHS genes and their transcripts were analyzed in detail, which indicated that there are two PAL genes in carrot, one being transiently and rapidly activated by stress, and the other being specifically induced during the 2, 4-D regulated anthocyanin synthesis.

The reaction of 1,1′-bis(6-chloro-1,4-dioxahexyl)ruthenocene with disodium 1,2-ethanedithiolate gave 1,4,13,16-tetraoxa-7,9-dithia[16](1,1′)ruthenocenophane (5) in 63% yield. The reaction of 5 with HgCl2 in acetonitrile gave a 1: 2 complex (6) in 47% yield. The crystal structure of complex 6 and its metal free ligand 5 were determined by an X-ray method. Crystal data: 5, triclinic, a=11.128(2), b=12.720(2), c=10.196(2)A, α=113.55(1), β=64.13(1), γ=122.01(1)°, U=1074.1 A3. P\bar1, Z=2, Dc=1.54 Mg m−3, μ(Mo Kα)=9 mm−1.

Photochemistry of the o-nitrobenzyl system in solution: effects of distance and geometrical constraint on the hydrogen transfer mechanism in the excited state
Two rigid nitrobenzene derivatives, 5-nitro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,4-methanonaphthalene (6), and 5-nitro-1,2,3,4-tetra-hydro-1,4-ethanonaphthalene (7), have been synthesized and studied by picosecond flash absorption spectroscopy, steady-state irradiation, and MMX molecular mechanics calculations. Transients with lifetimes of 770 and 410 ps have been detected and assigned to the excited triplet states of 6 and 7, respectively. Consistent with prediction, the o-quinonoid intermediate is not detected in the time domain between the laser excitation and the end of decay of the triplet state. Intramolecular abstraction of the bridgehead benzylic hydrogen by the cited triplet state proceeds with relative rates of 1:125 for 6 and 7, respectively. Since structural constraints prohibit the formation of an orthoquinonoid intermediate in these systems, formation of the usual nitrosoalcohol 13 represents the first substantiation of the biradical route to product (3′ → 4, Scheme 1). Absorption of the intermediate triple...
Development of methods of pollution prevention is a strategic orientation for environmental protection.

Presence of a histidine at the active site of the neutral endopeptidase-24.11.
Diethylpyrocarbonate treatment of the neutral endopeptidase (EC 3.4.24.11) inhibits both catalytic activity and binding of the inhibitor [3H]-N(R,S)-3-hydroxyaminocarbonyl-2-benzyl-1-oxopropyl]-glycine. The loss of activity can be reversed by hydroxylamine and almost completely prevented by the competitive inhibitor phenylalanyl-leucine suggesting the presence, as in thermolysin, of a histidine residue at the active site. Butanedione treatment also reduces both catalytic activity and [3H] inhibitor binding. Phenylalanyl-leucine completely protects from the butanedione induced loss of activity, providing further evidence for an essential arginine at the active site. In contrast, the tyrosine modifying agent N-acetylimidazole has no apparent effect on enzyme activity.
In this letter, we report the singlet ground state structure of the full carotenoid peridinin by means of variational Monte Carlo (VMC) calculations. The VMC relaxed geometry has an average bond length alternation of 0.1165(10) Å, larger than the values obtained by DFT (PBE, B3LYP, and CAM-B3LYP) and shorter than that calculated at the Hartree-Fock (HF) level. TDDFT and EOM-CCSD calculations on a reduced peridinin model confirm the HOMO-LUMO major contribution of the Bu(+)-like (S2) bright excited state. Many Body Green's Function Theory (MBGFT) calculations of the vertical excitation energy of the Bu(+)-like state for the VMC structure (VMC/MBGFT) provide an excitation energy of 2.62 eV, in agreement with experimental results in n-hexane (2.72 eV). The dependence of the excitation energy on the bond length alternation in the MBGFT and TDDFT calculations with different functionals is discussed.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C8H8N4O2, contains one half-mol­ecule; a twofold rotation axis bisects the molecule. An intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond results in the formation of a five-membered ring, which displays an envelope conformation. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules.
In this paper, we reviewed the degradation factors of diazinon which was known to be easily degraded by soil microorganisms and lost of its activity. Under submerged soil condition, the contribution of microorganisms to diazinon degradation was about 40% and these microorganisms preferred soil humus as substrates to diazinon itself. The effect of monooxygenase activity in submerged soil was more important than esterase activity on diazinon degradation and these enzymes were inhibited by several chemicals such as piperonyl butoxide(PBO), EPN and tricyclazole. From these results, new formulation type of diazinon (PBO and triphenyl phosphate were added to commercial diazinon formulation by 0.1% respectively.) and diazinon mixture formulation (diazinon was mixed with EPN, tricyclazole and carbofuran in equal amount) were prepared. The new formulation type of diazinon showed better insecticidal activity by 12% and more delayed diazinon degradation in ten days than commercial diazinon.

43Ca NMR studies of Ca2+-Tetrahymena calmodulin complexes
43Ca NMR spectra of Ca2+-Tetrahymena calmodulin(Tet. CaM.) complexes have been observed under various conditions. Off-rate of Ca2+ from Tet. CaM. is estimated to be approx. 2.7 × 103 s−1 under a certain assumption. Relaxation rates of 43Ca NMR of Ca2+-Tet. CaM. are remarkably increased(by one order in magnitude) by adding trifluoperazine(TFP), a potent calmodulin antagonist. Relaxation parameters estimated suggest that Ca2+ mobility is reduced by the TFP binding. A stoichiometry of TFP is two moles per Tet. CaM. molecule. The relaxation rates of 43Ca NMR signals are increased by adding excessive Mg2+ to the Ca2+-Tet. CaM. solutions. The addition of Mg2+ to the Ca2+-Tet. CaM. complex decreases apparent pKa value of the complex as well.

Discovery of benzophosphadiazine drug candidate IDX375: A novel hepatitis C allosteric NS5B RdRp inhibitor.
Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) plays a central role in virus replication. NS5B has no functional equivalent in mammalian cells, and as a consequence is an attractive target for selective inhibition. This paper describes the discovery of a novel family of HCV NS5B non-nucleoside inhibitors inspired by the bioisosterism between sulfonamide and phosphonamide. Systematic structural optimization in this new series led to the identification of IDX375, a potent non-nucleoside inhibitor that is selective for genotypes 1a and 1b. The structure and binding domain of IDX375 were confirmed by X-ray co-crystalisation study.
Abstract The mechanisms for the insertion of alkylidenecarbenes into O H bond of water have been investigated with B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) method. The XYC C + H 2 O (XYC C: H 2 C C, HFC C, HClC C, HBrC C, H(CH 3 )C C, F 2 C C, Cl 2 C C, Br 2 C C, (CH 3 ) 2 C C) system is the subject of the present study. According to our model calculations these insertion reactions can yield vinyl alcohol products and for a given single substituted alkylidenecarbene will yield cis–trans -isomer mixtures. Moreover the reactivity of alkylidenecarbene decreases in the order: HFC C > HClC C > HBrC C > H(CH 3 )C C > H 2 C C. The same phenomenon can be found in double substituted alkylidenecarbene, that is, F 2 C C > Cl 2 C C > Br 2 C C > (CH 3 ) 2 C C > H 2 C C. Our theoretical findings suggest that the singlet–triplet splitting (Δ E ST ) of the XYC C species can be used as a guide to predict its activity for insertion reactions.

Effects of alkali-heat treatment on β-melanocyte-stimulating hormone
Abstract Prolongation of the activity of β-melanocyte-stimulating hormone is produced by heating in 0.1 N NaOH at 100 °C. for 10 minutes. Zone electrophoresis on starch and countercurrent distribution have been employed to demonstrate the multiplicity of the products formed. Chemical and microbiological amino acid analyses of the major product(s) resolved by electrophoresis indicate that the following has taken place: ( 1 ) conversion of arginine to ornithine; ( 2 ) cleavage of a gly.ser. peptide bond with loss of the C-terminal pentapeptide ser.pro.pro.lys.asp; and ( 3 ) extensive racemization of arginine, histidine, methionine, and phenylalanine. Consideration of these findings and those obtained with other melanocyte-stimulating hormones and synthetic peptides, indicates that racemization alone is sufficient to explain the prolongation phenomenon.
Various condensation products were obtained by the reaction between pyruvic acid and urea. They are 5-hydroxy-5-methyl-hydantoin, homoallantoin, homoallantoic acid, and dipyruvic triureide. 5-Methylene-hydantoin was prepared from some of these compounds, or directly from pyruvic acid and urea, by reactions in organic acid. The most convenient method was the dehydration of 5-hydroxy-5-methyl-hydantoin, which is a new compound melting at 166°C. 5-Methylene-hydantoin, m. p. 214°C, is a new monomer of the vinylidene type which polymerizes easily by means of a free radical mechanism. 3-Methyl-5-methylene-hydantoin was also prepared from 5-hydroxy-5-methyl-hydantoin through its 3-methyl derivative.

Persistent Radical Pairs Between N‐Substituted Naphthalimide and Carbanion Exhibit pKa‐Dependent UV‐vis Absorption
A new strategy is devised for estimating and screening pK a values among different carbon acids under ambient conditions via the UV-vis absorption spectrum of persistent radical pairs (PRPs), which are generated from an N -substituted naphthalimide (NNI) derivative in the presence of various carbanions in organic solutions. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is used to examine the presence of radicals. Unexpectedly, it was discovered that the UV-vis spectrum of PRPs reveals a distinct linear relationship between the PRP absorption and the pK a value of a corresponding carbon acid, which is likely due to the energy difference among different RPRs. The finding may offer organic chemists an alternative reference to conduct carbanion-mediated reactions in various organic solutions.

To the knowledge of the authors, this is the highest operation frequency obtained for a dynamic divider based on HEMT technology. The complete circuit has a power consumption of approximately 500 mW for a supply voltage of -3.5 V The input signal is single-ended. The output driver is able to drive a 50 /spl Omega/ external load.
Abstract Octasubstituted phthalocyanine derivatives have been synthesized and characterized. The mesophases were studied by optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and small angle X-ray diffraction. For the 2-ethyl-hexyloxy-derivative, three transitions are observed at 170°C, 223°C and 270°C. In the latter temperature range, X-ray diffraction indicates the presence of a nematic phase which shows homeotropic orientation on untreated surfaces of a glass slide.

Analysis of Chlorinated Paraffins in Environmental Matrices: The Ultimate Challenge for the Analytical Chemist
Commercial chlorinated paraffins (CPs) are derived from the free radical chlorination of n-alkane mixtures. Starting mixtures used in the synthesis fall into three categories: C10–C13 (short); C14–C17 (medium) and C20–C30 (long). This results in complex mixtures containing significant numbers of constitutional and optical isomers. It is this complexity that makes analysis of CPs extremely challenging. Modern analytical methods employ either single or multi-dimensional gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometric detectors operated in the negative ion mode. This chapter discusses the advances that have been made in the analysis of CPs in environmental samples with a focus on modern analytical techniques.
Chemosensory devices with self organized structures and artificial receptors are developed for a wide field of applications. Supramolecular hosts, highly ordered liquid crystal phases and even Langmuir Blodgett films are promising recognition elements. Cage compounds such as tert- butyl-calix[n]arene show high preorganization due to their rigid walls and form highly symmetrical cavities suitable for host guest inclusion of analytes. Disturbance of the highly ordered cholesteric and nematic phases influences the optical and dielectric properties of these materials.© (1999) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.

AIM: ::: To examine if toosendanin (TSN) affects intracellular free-Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in neuroblastoma pluglioma hybrid cells (NG108-15 cells). ::: METHODS: ::: The [Ca(2+)](i) was determined by laser-scanning confocal microscopic imaging technique in which Fluo-3 was used as Ca(2+) indicator. ::: RESULTS: ::: TSN induced an increase in resting [Ca(2+)](i) and in high K(+)-evoked Ca(2+) transient in differentiated NG108-15 cells. The TSN-induced increase in [Ca(2+)](i) was dose-dependent and disappeared in CdCl(2-), nifedipine-containing or Ca(2+)-free solution, and appeared after washing out the Ca(2+) channel blockers or adding Ca(2+). ::: CONCLUSION: ::: TSN increased [Ca(2+)](i) in differentiated NG108-15 cells. The [Ca(2+)](i) enhancement was due to the influx of extracellular Ca(2+) and related to L-type Ca(2+) channels.
Abstract This review deals with the reaction mechanisms of polyaminecarboxylate complexes of different transition metals such as Fe, Mn, Ni, and Ru. Three types of chemical processes are treated, viz. water-exchange reactions, the binding of NO, and the activation of peroxides. In each case, the nature of the polyaminecarboxylate chelate and its influence on the underlying reaction mechanism are considered. In general, the complexes are either six- or seven-coordinate and all contain a coordinated water molecule. The lability of the latter is controlled by the nature of the polyaminecarboxylate chelate and the oxidation state of the metal ion. The binding of NO and the activation of peroxide are in turn controlled by the lability of the coordinated water molecule that is displaced during the interaction with these small molecules.

Physiological responses to d-fenfluramine and ipsapirone challenge correlate with indices of aggression in males with personality disorder
Hormonal responses to challenge with the 5-HT2A/2C probe d-fenfluramine and hormonal and thermal responses to challenge with the 5-HT1A probe ipsapirone were correlated with self-report and historical assessments of aggression in a pilot sample of eight male personality-disordered individuals. Prolactin responses to d-fenfluramine and cortisol responses to ipsapirone challenge were inversely correlated with self-reported assaultiveness. Thermal responses to ipsapirone were inversely correlated with a historical assessment of aggression. Since none of these physiological indices of 5-HT system function were intercorrelated, it is possible that simultaneous assessment of these 5-HT indices may yield a more comprehensive assessment of the relationship between central 5-HT system function and aggressive behavior in humans.

Four Polyoxonibate-Based Inorganic–Organic Hybrids Assembly from Bicapped Heteropolyoxonibate with Effective Antitumor Activity
Four novel heteropolyoxonibate-based inorganic–organic hybrids {Cu(en)2}6{GeNb12VIV2O42}·20H2O (1), {Cu(en)2}3K2Na4{GeNb12VIV2O42}·23H2O (2), {Cu(en)2}6{SiNb12VIV2O42}·18H2O (3), and {Cu(en)2}3K2Na4{SiNb12VIV2O42}·19H2O (4) (en = ethanediamine), composed of polyoxoanions [TNb12O40]16– (T = Si and Ge) and [Cu(en)2]2+ building blocks, were successfully synthesized under hydrothermal conditions by reaction of K7HNb6O19·13H2O, Cu(Ac)2·3H2O, Na2VO3, Na2SiO3, or GeO2 and en molecules. Polyoxoanion [TNb12VIV2O42]12– (T = Si and Ge) can be best described as a α-Keggin core [TNb12O40] with two [VO] units capping on its two “opened windows”. Compounds 1 and 3 are both composed of the bicapped heteropolyoxonibate core surrounded by a shell consisting of twelve [Cu(en)2]2+ groups, which represent a promising structural model toward core–shell nanostructures.

In this letter, we report the singlet ground state structure of the full carotenoid peridinin by means of variational Monte Carlo (VMC) calculations. The VMC relaxed geometry has an average bond length alternation of 0.1165(10) Å, larger than the values obtained by DFT (PBE, B3LYP, and CAM-B3LYP) and shorter than that calculated at the Hartree-Fock (HF) level. TDDFT and EOM-CCSD calculations on a reduced peridinin model confirm the HOMO-LUMO major contribution of the Bu(+)-like (S2) bright excited state. Many Body Green's Function Theory (MBGFT) calculations of the vertical excitation energy of the Bu(+)-like state for the VMC structure (VMC/MBGFT) provide an excitation energy of 2.62 eV, in agreement with experimental results in n-hexane (2.72 eV). The dependence of the excitation energy on the bond length alternation in the MBGFT and TDDFT calculations with different functionals is discussed.

Effect of perindopril on left ventricular diastolic function in rat hearts with cardiac failure induced by myocardial infarction
WC observed the effect of Perindopril (Per) on left ventricular diastolic function in rat hearts with cardiac failure induced by myocardial infarction (MI). The decrease of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, the increase of- dP/ dtmax and the shortening of time constant of isovolumic pressure falling( T)as well as the weight losses of heart and lung were observed in the Per-treated rats as compared with the control rats.The increase of activity of superoxid dismutase (SOD) and the decrease of levels of malon-dialdehyde (MDA)and Ca2+ in heart tissue were abc observed in the Per-treated rats.The results mentioned above indicate that Per possesses a protective effect on left ventricular dlastolic function after MI and that its effect may be related to the protection of the activity of SOD and the diminution of lipid peroxidation and overload calcuim
We demonstrated synthetically that the eight-membered heterocycles 2,6,9-triazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes and 1,5-diazacyclooctanes are the initial and exclusive products of the reaction, through an imino [4+4] cycloaddition, of biologically relevant amines with acrolein. The stabilities of the aminoacetals within the eight-membered heterocycles determined whether the product was subsequently transformed gradually into the 3-formyl-3,4-dehydropiperidine (FDP), which is widely used as an oxidative stress marker. The reactivity profiles discovered in this study suggested that some of the imino [4+4] cycloaddition products are reactive intermediates of FDP and contribute to the mechanisms underlying the oxidative stress response to acrolein.

One way to increase efficiency and reduce pollution in transport and energetic domain is designing fuel injectors with better atomization. In this work, experiments were performed on a prefilming airblast atomizer often used in gas turbine engines. For this purpose, a new injector was designed to visualize the prefilming zone and the primary atomization together. The flow configuration corresponds to an annular liquid film sheared by inner high velocity airflows. High speed Shadowgraphy was used to observe film and spray, liquid film frequency, wave velocity and wave deformation, primary breakup regime. Finally, a link between liquid film and the primary atomization are shown first qualitatively and after quantitatively.

Dynamics of spin-polarized photoelectrons in rubidium-tetrahydrofuran solutions
We present a Fourier transform EPR study of photoexcited rubidium-tetrahydrofuran solutions (Rb/THF), in the absence and presence of the complexing chelate 222 cryptand (Kp), Rb/THF/Kp. The temporal behavior of the EPR signals is interpreted in terms of two components participating in the complex processe, i.e., the spin-polarized photoelectrons and the solvated electrons that are coupled to the alkali-metal cations and, when present, to the cryptand molecules. The spin polarization mechanism is due to the radical pair mechanism, which is induced by charge transfer to solvent as a result of the photoabsorption
Abstract Exposure of the dorsal skin of hairless mice to the light of a germicidal lamp under standardized conditions produces reproducible, time-dependent increases of putrescine and spermidine concentrations, and a decrease of spermine levels, concomitant with the increase of the rate of DNa synthesis. Systemic or topical treatment of the animals with α-difluoromethylornithine, an enzyme-activated irreversible inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase, completely prevents the uv light-induced rapid formation of putrescine, and diminishes the enhancement of polyamine turnover rates. A significant effect of the drug on the rate of DNA synthesis could not be shown. The model is suitable for the study of interrelations between polyamine metabolism and cell proliferation and for the screening of compounds designed as inhibitors of polyamine biosynthesis.

Cyclization of 2′-hydroxychalcones to flavones using ammonium iodide as an iodine source: An eco-friendly approach
Ammonium iodide on exposure to air decomposes to ammonia and iodine. The in situ generated iodine was used for the cyclization of 2'-hydro- xychalcones to the corresponding flavones under solvent-free conditions in good to excellent yields. This method could serve as an attractive alternative to the existing methods for synthesis of flavones and the use of toxic molecular iodine is avoided.
The first far infrared intermolecular vibration–rotation spectrum of the ternary van der Waals cluster has been measured near 39.5 cm−1 and assigned to an a‐type ∑ bending vibration of Ar2HCl. Spectra of both chlorine isotopes were observed and nuclear quadrupole hyperfine structure was resolved. Values of the fitted constants (rotational constants, hyperfine projections) evidence large amplitude out‐of‐plane motion, and demonstrate the sensitivity of spectroscopic observables to the three body forces operative in the Ar2HCl system. Spectroscopic predictions calculated by Hutson et al. from pairwise‐additive and ‘‘three‐body’’ corrected potential energy surfaces [J. Chem. Phys. 90, 1337 (1989)] are compared to experimental results.

Recent advances in nanotechnology have opened a lot of new possibilities for nanomaterials application in wide variety of industrial, pharmaceutical, medicinal and environmental applications. This review aims to description of various Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR)-based spectroscopic techniques suitable to characterize (i) different types of nanomaterials and (ii) various macroscopic samples at their nanoscale. In the introductory section, nanomaterials are classified according to their crucial properties, i.e. chemical composition, size and surface morphology. Application of traditional FTIR techniques, such as Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR), Diffuse Reflection (DRIFT) and infrared micro (spectro)scopy, for characterization of nanomaterials and nanostructures is compared with novel optical nanoscopic techniques derived from scanning probe microscopy which enable to overcome the diffraction limit and to characterize nanomaterials at molecular scale.

Why Dissolved Organic Matter Enhances Photodegradation of Methylmercury
Methylmercury (MeHg) is known to degrade photochemically, but it remains unclear what roles naturally dissolved organic matter (DOM) and complexing organic ligands play in MeHg photodegradation. Here we investigate the rates and mechanisms of MeHg photodegradation using DOM with varying oxidation states and origins as well as organic ligands with known molecular structures. All DOM and organic ligands increased the rate of MeHg photodegradation under solar irradiation, but the first-order rate constants varied depending on the oxidation state of DOM and the type and concentration of the ligands. Reduced DOM photochemically degraded MeHg 3 times faster than oxidized DOM. Compounds containing both thiol and aromatic moieties within the same molecule (e.g., thiosalicylate and reduced DOM) increased MeHg photodegradation rates far more than those containing only aromatics or thiols (e.g., salicylate or glutathione, or their combinations). The mechanism is attributed in part to strong binding between MeHg and ...

Exercise and diet induced weight loss improves measures of oxidative stress and insulin sensitivity in adults with characteristics of the metabolic syndrome
Obesity and insulin resistance (IR) increase the risk for coronary heart disease; however, much of this risk is not attributable to traditional risk factors. We sought to determine whether weight loss associated with supervised aerobic exercise beneficially alters biomarkers of oxidative stress and whether these alterations are associated with improvements in measures of insulin resistance. Twenty-five sedentary and overweight to obese [body mass index (BMI) = 33.0 ± 0.8 kg/m2] individuals, with characteristics of the metabolic syndrome, participated in a 4- to 7-mo weight loss program that consisted of energy restriction (reduced by ∼500 kcal/day) and supervised aerobic exercise (5 days/wk, 45 min/day at 60% Vo2 max; ∼375 kcal/day). IR and insulin sensitivity were assessed by the calculation of the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI), respectively. Oxidative stress was assessed by oxidized LDL (oxLDL), myeloperoxidase (MPO), and low- and high- de...
We have carried out molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and free energy calculations on the α-subtype of the human estrogen receptor ligand-binding domain (ERα LBD) complexed with a number of known agonists and putative xenoestrogens. Our dynamical simulations of ligand−receptor complexes underscore the highly structured nature of the complex and offer some interesting insights into the structure−activity relationship (SAR) for these ligands. With traditional thermodynamic integration (TI) calculations, we calculate relative binding free energies for three known agonists, in good agreement with experimental values. The sheer number of possible xenoestrogenic compounds makes an approach using traditional free energy calculations unfeasible. Instead, we have made use of a single-step perturbation methodology that allows the calculation of relative free energies for a large number of related polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from a single simulation. Our results show good (maximum deviation 3.3 kJ mol-1) agre...

A simple, efficient, and general method has been developed for the one-pot, three-component synthesis of a-amino phosphonates from a condensation reaction of trialkyl phosphite, aldehydes, and amines in the presence of a catalytic amount of succinic acid (8.5 mol %) (for the first time) under solvent-free conditions. The advantages of this protocol are excellent yields, short reaction time, mild reaction conditions, higher availability, low costs, more environmentally friendly, lack of need for column chromatography and simple work-up procedure.

Nonlinear optical properties of 2,4,5-Trimethoxy-4-nitrochalcone: observation of two-photon-induced excited-state nonlinearities.
We report experimental investigations of optical nonlinearities and nonlinear dynamics in acetone solution of 2,4,5-Trimethoxy-4- nitrochalcone. By performing Z-scans with femtosecond laser pulses at low excitation intensity, two-photon absorption (2PA) and third-order nonlinear refraction are measured. As laser excitation intensity exceeds a critical value, however, the interplay between third- and fifth-order nonlinearities is observed. It is also confirmed that fifth-order processes mainly originate from 2PA-induced excited-state nonlinearities by conducting femtosecond time-resolved degenerate pump-probe measurements. All the nonlinear parameters are determined unambiguously in the near infrared region of the 2PA cross-section, second-order hyperpolarizability, excited-state absorption cross-section, excited-state refraction cross-section, lifetime of excited states induced by 2PA, and critical population of the excited states in 2,4,5-Trimethoxy-4-nitrochalcone molecule.

Binding of Translationally Controlled Tumour Protein to the N-Terminal Domain of HDM2 Is Inhibited by Nutlin-3
Translationally Controlled Tumour Protein (TCTP), a highly conserved protein present in all eukaryotic organisms, has a number of intracellular and extracellular functions including an anti-apoptotic role. TCTP was recently shown to interact with both p53 and HDM2, inhibiting auto-ubiquitination of the latter and thereby promoting p53 degradation. In this study, we further investigated the interaction between TCTP and HDM2, mapping the reciprocal binding sites of TCTP and HDM2. TCTP primarily interacts with the N-terminal, p53-binding region of HDM2 through its highly basic domain 2. Furthermore, we discovered that Nutlin-3, a small molecule known to promote apoptosis and cell cycle arrest by blocking binding between HDM2 and p53, has a similar inhibitory effect on the interaction of HDM2 and TCTP. This result may provide an additional explanation of how Nutlin-derived compounds currently in clinical trials function to promote apoptosis in cancer cells.
Abstract First principles calculations were carried out to study the stability and hydrogen adsorption properties of Mg/TiMn 2 interface. The surface stability and hydrogen adsorption of TiMn 2 were explored. The Mn terminated (001) is the most stable surface among the considered surfaces of TiMn 2 and TiMn 2 surface shows better hydrogen adsorption ability than the pure Mg surface. Two models coupling the Mg(0001) surface and the TiMn 2 (001) surface with different terminations were constructed to explore the Mg/TiMn 2 interface. The Mg(0001)/Mn terminated TiMn 2 (001) with interface is much more stable than that of Ti terminated system. These two interfaces both show good hydrogen adsorption ability, in which the Mn terminated interface shows − 1.62 eV of hydrogen adsorption energy. The electronic structures of the considered systems are evaluated. The negative adsorption energies of hydrogen on the surface and interface systems are further explained by the analysis of the density of states.

Electron transfer to the binuclear center in cytochrome oxidase: catalytic significance and evidence for an additional intermediate.
We have followed, by transient kinetics, the reduction of cytochrome a3 in the presence of carbon monoxide under different experimental conditions. We have observed that the internal electron transfer rate accounts for the turnover number, and both display the same pH and temperature dependence [pKa = 7.4 and activation energy (Ea) = 14.7 +/- 0.1 kcal/mol]. Moreover, comparison of the time course of cytochrome c oxidation and cytochrome a3 reduction indicates that two electrons are transferred internally and with different rates to the oxygen-binding site. A kinetic model based on sequential internal electron transfer pathways, describing quantitatively the experimental data, is presented and discussed.

Selective Alpha-2 (α2) Receptor Agonists: Their Pharmacological Profile and Role in Therapeutics
Alpha-2 (α2) adrenergic receptors mediate many of the physiological actions of the endogenous catecholamines adrenaline and noradrenaline, and are targets of several therapeutic agents. Selective α2 receptor agonists are currently used as antihypertensives and as adjuncts to anaesthesia, as spinal analgesics, and to treat opioid, nicotine and alcohol dependence and withdrawal in human beings. Characterisation of different sub-types of α2 receptors and recent advances in the field of drug development has helped to tap this barren field. This article is an effort to summarise these selective α2 receptor agonists and to discuss their role in therapeutics.
We report on active control of the femtosecond photodissociation and ionization reactions of iron pentacarbonyl, Fe(CO)5, in the gas phase. The spectral phase of femtosecond laser pulses is modified in a pulse shaper, employing a learning evolutionary algorithm. Direct feedback from the experiment is used to iteratively improve the laser pulse shape according to a given optimization problem. This many-parameter optimization is compared with one-parameter control schemes and found to be more versatile, because it can sample a much more general search space. Information about the underlying reaction mechanism can be extracted from the results of the automated optimization. It is further shown that second-harmonic generation (SHG) can be used at the output of a 800 nm pulse shaper to implement 400 nm excitation experiments. The optimization procedure not simply increases the SHG efficiency but optimizes the objective given for the combined system of SHG and Fe(CO)5 photochemistry. The importance of the choic...

Photocatalytic Reduction of Artificial and Natural Nucleotide Co-factors with a Chlorophyll-Like Tin-Dihydroporphyrin Sensitizer
An efficient photocatalytic two-electron reduction and protonation of nicotine amide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), as well as the synthetic nucleotide co-factor analogue N-benzyl-3-carbamoyl-pyridinium (BNAD+), powered by photons in the long-wavelength region of visible light (λirr > 610 nm), is demonstrated for the first time.

Amantadine inhibits hepatitis A virus internal ribosomal entry site-mediated translation in human hepatoma cells.
The effect of six drugs (amantadine, glycyrrhizin, ribavirin, ursodeoxycholic acid, alcohol, and IFN) on HAV RNA translation from the HAV internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) was investigated using a bicistronic reporter construct containing HAV IRES as intragenic spacer. Huh-7 cells and derivatives were transfected with in vitro transcripts, and the reporter gene activity was determined. IFN suppressed both cap-dependent and HAV IRES-dependent translation, while amantadine specifically inhibited HAV IRES-dependent translation. In contrast to IFN, by reporter assay, amantadine did not activate the interferon-stimulated response element (ISRE) or interferon gamma-activated sequence (GAS)-associated pathways. Immunoblot analysis revealed that amantadine had no effect on PKR and on IFN-regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) expression. These findings demonstrated a novel antiviral effect of amantadine against HAV with or without HCV infection.
We explore the protonation states of benzohydroxamic acid adsorbates bound to the {101} facet of TiO2 anatase by using a combination of density functional theory, simulations of UV–vis spectra based on a tight-binding Hamiltonian, and direct comparisons to experimental measurements. We find that the characteristic red-shifted spectrum of nonmethylated, relative to the methylated, hydroxamic acids can only be explained by proposing a monodeprotonated monodentate mode as the main adsorption mode. The reported analysis suggests a simple, yet general, spectroscopic method based on UV–vis absorption measurements and tight-binding calculations for inferring changes of pKa of molecular adsorbates interacting with semiconductor electrode surfaces.

Antioxidant Activity of 3 -Methylthiopropylamine Hydrochloride
Antioxidant activities of various amino acids and some of their related substances on the autoxidation of sodium lenolenate in aqueous system were examined by TBA method. As the results, 3-methylthiopropylamine hydrochloride (MTPA) was found to be most effective in antioxidant activity among the substances tested. Also, it was an unique characteristic of MTPA that it was quite soluble in organic solvents, fats and oils as well as in water. At a temperature of less than 100°C, MTPA was quite stable in aqueous solution over whole pH range. Acute toxicity test of MTPA by oral administration of mice has indicated that LD50 of MTPA was 4.5 g per kg.
Multifunctional-material-integrated various properties have been an attractive research field. In spite of persistent explorations into such materials, the conditions of coexistence are still confused. Organic–inorganic hybrid compounds are appropratie for designing these materials because of both their rich properties and flexible compositions. Here, a perovskite-type organic–inorganic hybrid compound, (Hmpy)MnCl3 (1; Hmpy = N-methylpyrrolidinium), with temperature, light, and electric stimuli-response characteristics has been rationally designed and synthesized. This hybrid compound shows a dielectric anomaly, a broad dielectric dispersion of the temperature range from 296 to 400 K, and brilliant red fluorescence at 632 nm with a high quantum yield of 54.54% under UV excitation. The coexistence of temperature, optical, and electric multiple stimuli-response properties in 1 demonstrates that our finding has a profound influence on the further exploration of the novel multifunctional materials.

We report several ruthenium catalysts incorporating mixed donor phosphine-amine ligands for the upgrade of ethanol to the advanced biofuel n-butanol, which show high selectivity (≥90%) at good (up to 31%) conversion. In situ formation of catalysts from mixtures of [RuCl2(η6-p-cymene)]2 and 2-(diphenylphosphino)ethylamine (1) shows enhanced activity at initial water concentrations higher than those of our previously reported diphosphine systems. Preliminary mechanistic studies (electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy) suggest the possibility of ligand-assisted proton transfer in some derivatives.
Abstract The processes occurring during electron irradiation of cis-polybutadiene have been investigated. The concentration of unsaturated bonds decays during irradiation with the formation of intermolecular crosslinks, intramolecular cyclic structures and polyene groups. The decay processes can be described by equations which approximate to first order kinetics. Rate constants for the decay processes have been estimated from the experimental data.

Histone deacetylase inhibitor valproic acid suppresses the growth and increases the androgen responsiveness of prostate cancer cells.
We identified the molecular target by histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors for exploring their potential prostate cancer (PCa) therapy. Upon HDAC inhibitors-treatment, LNCaP cell growth was suppressed, correlating with increased cellular prostatic acid phosphatase (cPAcP) expression, an authentic protein tyrosine phosphatase. In those cells, ErbB-2 was dephosphorylated, histone H3/H4 acetylation and methylation increased and cyclin proteins decreased. In PAcP shRNA-transfected C-81 cells, valproic acid (VPA) efficacy of growth suppression was diminished. Further, VPA pre-treatment enhanced androgen responsiveness of C-81, C4-2 and MDA PCa2b-AI cells. Thus, cPAcP expression is involved in growth suppression by HDAC inhibitors in PCa cells, and VPA pre-treatments increase androgen responsiveness.
Electronic and geometric structures at the water-amorphous silica nanoparticle (NP) interface are determined as a function of suspension pH using a combination of X-ray photoelelectron spectroscopy (XPS) from a liquid microjet, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and density functional theory (DFT). We provide direct spectroscopic evidence of the existence of (de)protonated silanol groups at the liquid–NP interface and give a microscopic description of the interface structure. The (de)protonated silanol groups, ≡Si–OH2+ and ═Si–(OH)(OH2+) in acidic suspension and ≡Si–O– and ═Si–(OH)(O–) in basic, give rise to well-resolved peaks in the Si 2p spectra that allow their identification and subsequent assignment by DFT. The change in surface potential at the silica NP surface as a function of pH can be directly measured by XPS and allows for an estimate of the fraction of silanol groups that become (de)protonated at the pH of the experiments. In agreement with DFT calculations, NMR is unable to direct...

SYNTHESES OF 2,6-DIMETHYLANILINE
Six synthetic routes of 2,6-dimethylaniline are reviewed. Theirreaction conditions, yields and limitations are given.
The degradation products of diclofenac in aqueous dosage form in accelerated storage conditions were characterized by electrospray ionization-ion trap mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Liquid chromatography (LC)-MS analyses revealed the presence of three degradation products. ESI-MS(n) spectra were used to study diclofenac fragmentation in detail and to characterize the structures of degradation products. A previously described degradation product, formed by a cyclization reaction of diclofenac producing the indolinone derivative, was found. As any hydroxylated product was found, no oxidation seems to occur in the dosage form used. On the contrary, two degradates have been detected and identified, leading to a primary alcohol structure or an aldehyde function in place of the acetate group of diclofenac.

Photochemical study of the interaction of phenothiazine derivatives with spin labelled lecithin multibilayers.
Abstract Nitroxide free radicals are destroyed by ultraviolet irradiation in the presence of phenothiazine derivatives. This property has been used in order to determine the type of interaction of these drugs with spin-labelled lecithin multibilayers. Kinetic measurements of the spin label signal decay under irradiation have shown that chlorpromazine and perphenazine are preferentially located in the polar part of the bilayer, whereas promethazine and oxidized derivatives of chlorpromazine are found principally in the hydrophobic part.
Introduction Poly(3-alkylthiophenes) (P3ATs), as a new kind of soluble, fusible and processable conductive polymers, have attracted a great interest and much attention of chemists and physicists[1,2]. It has been widely accepted that P3ATs can form similar layered structures with alkyl side chains being oriented in the lateral a-axis direction[3-6]. Moreover, when the number of the carbon atoms in the alkyl side chains is more than 10, some orderly arrangements of the side chains will occur between the layers[4].

Microalbuminuria in Type 2 Diabetic Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study of Frequency, Sex Distribution and Relation to Hypertension
We studied 112 type 2 diabetic patients. Fourteen patients had frank proteinuria, and 37 of the remaining 98 had microalbuminuria which was more frequent in men than in women (P<0·02). Hypertension was found in 47 of the patients, equally distributed between sexes. Male diabetics with microalbuminuria had higher systolic blood pressure than diabetics without microalbuminuria (P<0·02). Body mass index was higher in both sexes with hypertension compared to patients without hypertension. In the hypertensive men plasma C-peptide values were higher compared to patients without hypertension (P<0·01) irrespective of the presence of microalbuminuria. A positive correlation between blood pressure and C-peptide was found (P<0·01) in the men. We suggest that gender should be taken into account in the analysis and interpretation of microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetes.
Abstract Amino modified SBA-15 (SBA-NH 2 ) was used to immobilize vanadyl (VO 2+ ) and cupric (Cu 2+ ) ions, giving SBA-NH 2 -VO 2+ and SBA-NH 2 -Cu 2+ catalysts, respectively, and the as-prepared catalysts were characterized by XRD, XPS, TEM and Nitrogen adsorption–desorption technologies. The catalytic performance of the SBA-NH 2 -VO 2+ catalysts for the oxidation of HMF can be enhanced by the use of SBA-NH 2 -Cu 2+ as the co-catalyst. Several important reaction parameters were investigated, and it was found that the reaction solvent showed a great effect on the oxidation of HMF. The highest HMF conversion and product selectivity were obtained in aromatic solvents. The highest HMF conversion reached 98.8% at 110 °C in 4-chlorotoluene, affording DFF and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) with yields of 28.9% and 62.7%, respectively. More importantly, the catalysts could be recycled and showed no significant decrease of their catalytic activities.

A new route to peroxynitrite: a role for xanthine oxidoreductase
Peroxynitrite, a potent oxidising, nitrating and hydroxylating agent, results from the reaction of nitric oxide with superoxide. We show that peroxynitrite can be produced by the action of a single enzyme, xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR), in the presence of inorganic nitrite, molecular oxygen and a reducing agent, such as pterin. The effects of oxygen concentration on peroxynitrite production have been examined. The physiologically predominant dehydrogenase form of the enzyme is more effective than the oxidase form under aerobic conditions. It is proposed that XOR-derived peroxynitrite fulfils a bactericidal role in milk and in the digestive tract.
From the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of angularly condensed triazolobenzothiazine derivatives it was established that these compounds can be classified into two conformation types, depending on the substituents. The 10-methyl-3-carbethoxy derivatives are cis-anellated, conformationally flexible systems, where one of the aromatic hydrogens (H-9) and one of the methoxy substituents (8-OMe) of the benzothiazine skeleton on the one hand, and the 1-aryl ring on the other, lie close to each other in the preferred conformer. By assuming this conformation, the molecules avoid the steric hindrance of the 10-Me and 1-aryl groups. All compounds unsubstituted on the angular C-10 atom, and the 3-aryl-substituted derivatives of the 10-Me analogues, occur in a different conformation, containing the 1-aryl ring well removed from H-9 and the 8-OMe group.

What does organocopper compounds reactions toward oxygen form?
Compounds that contain a carbon-copper bond are known as organocopper compounds. They are very reactive towards oxygen to form copper(I) oxide and have many uses in chemistry. They are synthesized by treating copper(I) compounds with Grignard reagents, terminal alkynes or organolithium reagents; in particular, the last reaction described produces a Gilman reagent. These can undergo substitution with alkyl halides to form coupling products; as such, they are important in the field of organic synthesis. Copper(I) acetylide is highly shock-sensitive but is an intermediate in reactions such as the Cadiot-Chodkiewicz coupling and the Sonogashira coupling. Conjugate addition to enones and carbocupration of alkynes can also be achieved with organocopper compounds. Copper(I) forms a variety of weak complexes with alkenes and carbon monoxide, especially in the presence of amine ligands.
Even interpreting the hydrogen data (including safety data) is confounded by a number of phenomena. Many physical and chemical properties of hydrogen depend on the parahydrogen/orthohydrogen ratio (it often takes days or weeks at a given temperature to reach the equilibrium ratio, for which the data is usually given). Hydrogen detonation parameters, such as critical detonation pressure and temperature, strongly depend on the container geometry.

How many hours did you guys spend doing homework or studying for that class? How many other classes did you take during the same semester you were taking O. chem? Thanks!
For every one hour of class, 3 hours of study is recommended. If you want succeed Organic, try this time table. Lab will take 3 hours in class. To write the report 6 to seven hours will need to take place.\nTake General Chem at the same time, many things overlap.\nThen take 2 classes that are not BIO or MATH.
To visualize (C6H5)2CHBr, you have to identify the "side groups". Obvious Br is one side group and so is one H. Then you have two phenyl side groups so that leaves you that carbon to build on. The molecule one carbon bound to two phenyl groups, one hydrogen and one bromine, each with a single bond.\n\nOK, let's build on that. You are now going to react it with ethanol and you want to know what mechanism to expect. Since Teach didn't show you the products, you're going to have to think about this one. First, analyze what type of molecules you have. The first molecule we spoke of, what type of carbon is the main carbon (primary, secondary, tertiary)? What type of reaction (Sn1 or E1) does that type of carbon favor? How about the ethanol?\n\nActually, the alpha carbon in ethanol, being a primary carbon, would favor Sn2 but that's not an option. OH is an awful leaving group and alkanes don't like to carry a charge. So we can rule the carbon out.\n\nThe problem must revolve around diphenylmethylbromide. Having two phenyls would stabilize a positive charge fairly well and that is the first step for both E1 and Sn1 mechanisms. So, which one is it? The big giveaway is that En reactions are called elimination for a reason. They lose a pair of substituents to form a double or triple bond, always a higher order bond. Can there be any higher order bonds formed in this molecule? How about Sn1, then? That would result in (C6H5)2CH(OC2H5) + HBr. Is this more likely than elimination? Would this be endothermic or exothermic?\n\nThat's as much as I'm going to do. The rest is for you, as you only really needed to know the structure of the first molecule. But I hope this helps you understand what you are doing.\n\nGood luck.

Thiol with a blue-highlighted sulfhydryl group. In organic chemistry, a thiol (/ˈθaɪˌɔːl/ , /ˈθaɪˌɒl/) is an organosulfur compound that contains a carbon-bonded sulfhydryl (–C–SH or R–SH) group (where R represents an alkane, alkene, or other carbon-containing group of atoms).
Cysteine contains a free thiol group, which is more nucleophilic than amines and is generally the most reactive functional group in a protein. Thiols, unlike most amines, are generally reactive at neutral pH, and therefore can be coupled to other molecules selectively in the presence of amines (Equation 2). This selectivity makes the thiol group the linker of choice for coupling proteins.

Large Highly Modular Narrow Gap Electrolytic Flow cell and Application in Dehydrogenative Cross-Coupling of Phenols
The successive scale-up of electrochemical reactions is crucial with regards to the implementation of technical electro-organic syntheses. Therefore, we developed a scalable modular parallel plate electrochemical flow cell. One distinctive feature of this flow cell is that the temperature of the electrodes can be easily controlled from the back side via an external cooling circuit. That enables a high reproducibility of electrochemical conversions. By keeping the gap between the electrodes narrow, small amounts or no supporting electrolyte is required. The practicability and performance of the novel flow cell was validated by three different anodic phenol-phenol cross-couplings as test reactions.

I just apply a thin layer over problem areas after I wash my face. This has nothing to do with this product, but check out: thelovevitamin.com. If you're suffering from acne, she has great advice. Good luck!
I've been using mine morning and evening for about 2 months and I have about half a bottle left. I would say 3-6 months.
