Li, Zhan-Ku published the artcilePretreatment of sweet sorghum stalk with aqueous hydrogen peroxide for enhancing methanolysis and property of the bio-oil, Application of Methyl octanoate, the main research area is hydrogen peroxide sweet sorghum stalk methanolysis bio oil property.

Alcoholysis is a promising approach for converting biomass into fuels and/or chems. under mild conditions. However, the effect of pretreatment on biomass alcoholysis was rarely reported. Herein, the effect of pretreatment with H2O2 on sweet sorghum stalk (SSS) methanolysis was examined The results show that the pretreatment could markedly improve the bio-oil (BO) yield and decrease the appropriate temperature for obtaining maximum BO yield. The appropriate temperature for pretreated SSS methanolysis was determined to be 280 °C and the maximum BO yield is 44 wt%. In addition, higher heating values of the BOs were also enhanced based on elemental anal. According to anal. with gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer, phenolic compounds, esters, and sugars are predominant in the BOs, and the yield of phenolic compounds significantly increased from 91.75 to 111.68 mg·g-1 by the pretreatment. Moreover, polar species in the BOs decreased and deoxygenation occurred during pretreated SSS methanolysis. Analyses with scanning electron microscope and N2 physisorption reveal that pretreated SSS has more grooves and higher sp. surface area and anomalous porosity than SSS. According to analyses with Fourier transform IR spectrometer and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer, oxygen functional groups mainly in the forms of C=O and COO were introduced into SSS by the pretreatment. The changes of phys. and chem. structures should be responsible for enhancing SSS methanolysis and property of the BO.

Li, Mengzhu published the artcileCascade conversion of furfural to fuel bioadditive ethyl levulinate over bifunctional zirconium-based catalysts, Application In Synthesis of 539-88-8, the main research area is furfural ethyl levulinate zirconium fuel bioadditive catalyst.

Biomass-derived Et levulinate (EL) is currently deemed as a promising fuel bioadditive to improve (bio)diesel combustion performance without the sacrifice of its octane number In this contribution, a range of Zr-Al bimetallic catalysts were prepared for the cascade conversion of furfural to EL by the integration of transfer hydrogenation and ethanolysis in ethanol. The ratio of Lewis to Bronsted acid sites (L/B) could be tuned by the ratio of Al2O3 to ZrO2 over SBA-15 support. Among these catalysts, Zr-Al/SBA-15(30:10) with appropriate L/B ratio of 2.25 exhibited an outstanding catalytic performance to give a furfural (FF) conversion up to 92.8% with a EL selectivity as high as 71.4% at 453 K in 3 h.

Oishi, Masataka published the artcileRing-Opening Polymerization of ε-Caprolactone Initiated by Multinuclear Aluminum Methanetris(aryloxido) Complexes, HPLC of Formula: 5405-41-4, the main research area is aluminum methanetrisaryloxido ring opening polymerization initiator equilibrium stabilization; crystal structure mol aluminum methanetrisaryloxido complex preparation optimized conformation.

Dinuclear aluminum complexes (2a-/2b-THF) supported by a methanetris(aryloxide) were synthesized by dealumination of the corresponding trinuclear aluminum complexes (1a and 1b) in THF solvent. Treatment of methylaluminum derivatives 1a and 2a-THF with one equivalent of benzyl alc. led to the formation of monobenzyloxides 3a and 4a with no nuclearity change, resp. Ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone by these multinuclear aluminum complexes were studied, and good polymerization activity and mol. weight control were observed when 4a was employed as the initiator. During the ROP, the three aryloxide moieties of the supporting ligand were observed to be equivalent by 1H NMR spectroscopy, reflecting the rapid equilibrium of coordination between Al2 centers and a Lewis base. Ester-tethered alkoxides 6-9 were synthesized and structurally characterized. On the basis of the ester adduct structures, both syn- and anti-CL adducts of methoxide 10 were probed using DFT calculation Kinetic study for the 4a-initiated ROP was performed and revealed that the rate-determining step is switched by polymerization conditions. These results suggest that the two aluminum centers in the active Al2 species cooperatively work as a coordination site toward Lewis bases such as CL and as a stabilization site for the insertion of an alkoxide terminus.

Gao, Xiaomin published the artcileCucumber Fusarium wilt resistance induced by intercropping with celery differs from that induced by the cucumber genotype and is related to sulfur-containing allelochemicals, Application In Synthesis of 142-90-5, the main research area is transcriptomic intercropping celery genotype allelochem fusarium wilt resistance cucumber.

Fusarium wilt is a serious soil-borne disease for cucumber production; however, intercropping with celery and using resistant cultivars could alleviate this problem. The aims of the study were to verify whether cucumber Fusarium wilt resistance induced by intercropping with celery differs from that induced by the cucumber genotype and whether celery synthesizes organosulfur allelochems. to inhibit the growth of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum (Foc). First, biochem. and transcriptome analyses were performed for the roots of two cucumber cultivars during the response to Foc infection in a monoculture system and cucumber/celery intercropping system, and the results indicated that the Fusarium wilt-resistant cucumber cultivar and cucumber intercropped with celery resulted in different immune responses against Foc inoculation. Then, the possible allelochems. in the fresh root and rhizosphere soil of celery were extracted with acetone, separated and purified by chromatog. four times and cocultured with Foc in vitro. Three organosulfur compounds, namely, thioglycolic acid, propanethiol and iso-Pr isothiocyanate, were identified from the chromatog. fractions, with the highest inhibition on Foc in the fourth chromatog. by gas chromatog./mass spectrometry. All these compounds exhibited inhibitory effects on Foc, but thioglycolic acid showed stronger inhibition than the other two compounds and completely inhibited the growth of Foc colonies at concentrations of 50-100μmol L-1. The information obtained will permit new management practices that prevent and control cucumber Fusarium wilt.

Kuppusamy, Saranya published the artcileExamining the polyphenol content, antioxidant activity and fatty acid composition of twenty-one different wastes of fruits, vegetables, oilseeds and beverages, Recommanded Product: Methyl docosanoate, the main research area is fruit vegetable oilseed beverage polyphenol food waste antioxidant activity.

Abstract: One of the most abundantly available, cost-effective valuable resources that are of all-time concern for minimization and economical re-utilization is food waste, and quantifying the phenolic compounds and identifying the principle chem. constituents will favor their industrial exploitation potential. Water, methanol and ethanol extracts of 21 common food wastes of four different classes (fruits, vegetables, oilseeds and beverages) were screened by determination of their antioxidant activity (measured by DPPH activity, reducing power and phosphomolybdenum method) as well as total phenol, flavonoid and ascorbic acid contents. Further predominant chem. constituents (essential fatty acid composition and elemental contents) of the top four phytochem.-rich food wastes were investigated by GC-MS and ICP-MS. Water was more efficient for polyphenol extraction, and ethanol extracts for antioxidant power. Onion peel, pineapple skin and date seed had the highest phenolic content and antioxidant activity. Radish peel showed the highest ascorbic acid content (48.9 ± 1.5 mg/g). Onion peel emerged as a unique source of flavonoids (> 80%). Onion peel, radish peel and pineapple skin were identified to be the sources of essential fatty acid, i.e., linoleic acid, particularly radish peel being the rich source of alpha-linoleic acid highlighting its potential for human dietary intake or as animal feed. Moreover, the screened polyphenol and unsaturated omega fatty acid-rich food wastes constituted considerable quantities of essential macro- and micronutrients. Our study demonstrates the possibility of recovering large amounts of natural phytochems. from food wastes as alternatives to synthetics and for industrial applications.

Darrah, Kristie published the artcileAllosteres to regulate neurotransmitter sulfonation, Recommanded Product: Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate, the main research area is SULT1A3 allosteric inhibitor catecholamine sulfonation; SULT1A3; allosteric regulation; allostery; catecholamine; dopamine; enzyme inhibitor; enzyme kinetics; enzyme mechanism; enzyme structure; epinephrine; inhibition; mechanism; neurotransmitter; norepinephrine; nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR); serotonin; spin label; sulfotransferase.

Catecholamine neurotransmitter levels in the synapses of the brain shape human disposition – cognitive flexibility, aggression, depression, and reward seeking – and manipulating these levels is a major objective of the pharmaceutical industry. Certain neurotransmitters are extensively sulfonated and inactivated by human sulfotransferase 1A3 (SULT1A3). To our knowledge, sulfonation as a therapeutic means of regulating transmitter activity has not been explored. Here, we describe the discovery of a SULT1A3 allosteric site that can be used to inhibit the enzyme. The structure of the new site is determined using spin-label-triangulation NMR. The site forms a cleft at the edge of a conserved ∼30-residue active-site cap that must open and close during the catalytic cycle. Allosteres anchor into the site via π-stacking interactions with two residues that sandwich the planar core of the allostere and inhibit the enzyme through cap-stabilizing interactions with substituents attached to the core. Changes in cap free energy were calculated ab initio as a function of core substituents and used to design and synthesize a series of inhibitors intended to progressively stabilize the cap and slow turnover. The inhibitors bound tightly (34 nm to 7.4μm) and exhibited progressive inhibition. The cap-stabilizing effects of the inhibitors were exptl. determined and agreed remarkably well with the theor. predictions. These studies establish a reliable heuristic for the design of SULT1A3 allosteric inhibitors and demonstrate that the free-energy changes of a small, dynamic loop that is critical for SULT substrate selection and turnover can be calculated accurately.

Mueller, Joachim published the artcileNitroreductases of bacterial origin in Giardia lamblia: Potential role in detoxification of xenobiotics, Application In Synthesis of 55981-09-4, the main research area is Giardia nitroreductase bacterial origin detoxification xenobiotics; anaerobic metabolism; detoxification; electron transfer; pathogenicity; resistance; susceptibility.

The anaerobic parasite Giardia lamblia, causative agent of persistent diarrhea, contains a family of nitroreductase genes most likely acquired by lateral transfer from anaerobic bacteria or archaebacteria. Two of these nitroreductases, containing a ferredoxin domain at their N-terminus, NR1, and NR2, have been characterized previously. Here, we present the characterization of a third member of this family, NR3. In functional assays, recombinant NR1 and NR3 reduced quinones like menadione and the antibiotic tetracycline, and-to much lesser extents-the nitro compound dinitrotoluene. Conversely, recombinant NR2 had no activity on tetracycline. Escherichia coli expressing NR3 were less susceptible to tetracycline, but more susceptible to the nitro compound metronidazole under semi-aerobic growth conditions. G. lamblia overexpressing NR1 and NR3, but not lines overexpressing NR2, are more susceptible to the nitro drug nitazoxanide. These findings suggest that NR3 is an active quinone reductase with a mode of action similar to NR1, but different from NR2. The biol. function of this family of enzymes may reside in the use of xenobiotics as final electron acceptors. Thereby, these enzymes may provide at least two evolutionary advantages namely a higher potential to recycle NAD(P) as electron acceptors for the (fermentative) energy and intermediary metabolism, and the possibility to inactivate toxic xenobiotics produced by microorganisms living in concurrence inside the intestinal habitat.

Zhao, Ji published the artcileCytotoxicity of mesoporous silica modified by amino and carboxyl groups on vascular endothelial cells, Name: 2′,7′-Dichloro-3-oxo-3H-spiro[isobenzofuran-1,9′-xanthene]-3′,6′-diyl diacetate, the main research area is silica mesoporous amino carboxyl group vascular endothelial cell cytotoxicity; amino; carboxyl; cytotoxicity; human umbilical vein endothelial cells; mesoporous silica.

Mesoporous silica is widely used because of its unique and excellent properties, especially it can be used as a drug carrier and gene carrier in the biomedical field. After the mesoporous silica is put into clin. use, it is more likely to be exposed in human body. Therefore, the effect of mesoporous silica on human body cannot be ignored. The injury of vascular endothelial cells is a prerequisite for the occurrence of many cardiovascular diseases. As a drug and gene carrier, mesoporous silica increases its contact with vascular endothelial cells, so its toxic effect on cardiovascular system cannot be ignored. In this study, amino (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) were modified on mesoporous silica SBA-15 by post-grafting. The results showed that it still maintained the one-dimensional hexagonal mesoporous structure of SBA-15 and had typical mesoporous structure. Then human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were infected with SBA-15, NH2-SBA-15, and COOH-SBA-15. The results showed that the functionalized mesoporous silica SBA-15 had cytotoxicity to HUVECs and damaged the cell membrane, but compared with the unmodified mesoporous silica SBA-15 the cytotoxicity of functionalized mesoporous silica SBA-15 was lower and the toxicity of carboxyl modified group was the lowest. By comparing the cell inhibition rate and the expression level of lactate dehydrogenate and reactive oxygen species induced by the three materials, oxidative damage and cell membrane damage may be two mechanisms of cytotoxicity. Mesoporous silica SBA-15 has an effect on cardiovascular system by inducing the high expression of nitric oxide, intercellular adhesive mol.-1 and vascular cell adhesive mol.-1 in HUVECs. In summary, our results show that mesoporous silica is toxic to vascular endothelial cells.

Sun, Xiuhua published the artcileStudy on the Core-Shell Reversion of PSBMA-b-PLMA Nanoparticles for the Fabrication of Antifouling Coatings, COA of Formula: C16H30O2, the main research area is core shell nanoparticle sulfobetaine lauryl methacrylate copolymer antifouling coating; PSBMA–PLMA nanoparticle; amphiphilic copolymer; antibacterial; antifouling; core−shell reversion.

In this paper, two series of poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate)-b-poly(lauryl methacrylate) (PSBMA-b-PLMA) diblock copolymers were prepared to investigate the core-shell reversion of amphiphilic copolymers. Exptl. results proved that the PSBMA-b-PLMA copolymers can be self-assembled as core-shell nanoparticles in chloroform. Moreover, 1H NMR spectra and contact angle measurements revealed that there is a transitional PSBMA/PLMA block ratio of 0.6, above which the nanoparticles are capable of switching their core and shell in aqueous solution Consequently, nanoparticles with PSBMA/PLMA block ratios above 0.6 showed superior antifouling and antibacterial abilities to those with block ratios below 0.4. Moreover, it was also found that the block chain length plays an important role in core-shell reversion as evidenced by 1H NMR spectra, water contact angle, and antifouling tests. As a result, coatings fabricated with the PLMA100 series of nanoparticles showed better antifouling abilities than those of the PLMA150 series at the same block ratio probably because of the thinner shell of PLMA100 copolymers. PSBMA100-b-PLMA100 was proved to be the best candidate for the fabrication of antifouling coatings as it exhibited the highest efficacy in antibacterial adhesion and antiprotein adsorption. This study provided a facile method to fabricate antifouling coatings by developing amphiphilic diblock copolymers with tuned hydrophobic/hydrophilic block ratio, block chain length, etc.
