- Structure-activity relationship studies of (E)-3,4-dihydroxystyryl alkyl sulfones as novel neuroprotective agents based on improved antioxidant, anti-inflammatory activities and BBB permeability
-
(E)-3,4-dihydroxystyryl alkyl sulfones, as new analogues of neurodegenerative agents, were designed and synthesized. The biological results demonstrated that most of the target compounds preserved antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potency in scavenging reactive free radicals, protecting neuronal cells against neurotoxins such as H2O2, 6-hydroxydopamine and inhibiting lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced over-production of NO. Among these compounds, 6.22 with cyclopentyl propyl exhibited prominent antioxidant activity at low concentration (2.5 μM) in H2O2 model (cell viability = 94.5%). In addition, 6.22 (IC50 = 1.6 μM) displayed better anti-inflammatory activity than that of lead compound 1 (IC50 = 13.4 μM). In view of the outstanding performance of 6.22, the apoptotic rates of H2O2-damaged PC12 cells were detected by Annexin V-FITC/PI assay. 6.22 showed higher potency in inhibition of apoptosis than 1 at low concentration (2.5 μM), consisting with the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory models. Furthermore, with the predicted CNS (+) blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability (Pe = 6.84 × 10?6 cm s?1), low cytotoxicity and favorable physiochemical properties based on calculation, compound 6.22 can be further developed as a potential multifunctional neuroprotective agent.

- Metal extracting agent containing sulfoxide group and preparation method thereof
-
The invention discloses a metal extracting agent containing a sulfoxide group and a preparation method thereof. The metal extracting agent containing the sulfoxide group is 2-(alkylsulfinyl)-N-((tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methyl)acetamide. According to the preparation method, thioalcohol is used as a raw material, reacts with chloroacetic acid in an alkaline condition to generate corresponding thioether; afterwards, the corresponding thioether is oxidized through hydrogen peroxide in an organic-acid environment to obtain sulfoxide; the sulfoxide reacts with 2-tetrahydrofurfuryl amine in highly-acidic and high-temperature conditions, so as to generate corresponding amide. The metal extracting agent containing the sulfoxide group, which is provided by the invention, is high in the safety to an environment and an organism, is low-toxicity, is good in wettability, high in foaming capacity and liable in biodegradation, and has quite good extraction effects on rare earth metals thulium, ytterbium and lutetium in a weakly acidic condition.

- Sulfur makes the difference: Synthesis and mesomorphic properties of novel thioether-functionalized imidazolium ionic liquid crystals
-
Novel thioether-linked imidazolium ionic liquid crystals were synthesized starting from methyl 2-mercaptoacetate. The mesomorphic properties were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarizing optical microscopy (POM), and X-ray diffraction. All mesogens displayed smectic A mesophase geometries with strongly interdigitated bilayer structures. Comparison of the thioether-linked imidazolium salts with the corresponding amine- and amide-linked imidazolium salts as well as simple N-alkyl-imidazolium salts showed that both mesophase width and stability increased with increasing softness of the linking unit, thus indicating the beneficial effect of sulfur. Additionally, an increase of the length of the linking unit decreased the interdigitation of the alkyl chains.

- Synthesis and characterization of some novel higher C,N-diphenyl nitrones, isoxazolines, and mercaptobenzimidazoles as oleochemicals
-
Some novel long-chain nitrones, isoxazolines, and (1H-benzo[d]-imidazol-2- ylthio) derivatives were synthesized. Nitrones, N-{4-[2-(tetradecylthio)acetoxy] benzylidene}aniline oxide, and N-[4-(12-oxo-2,5,8,11-tetraoxadocosan-22-yloxy) benzylidene]aniline oxide were prepared via the reaction of -phenylhydroxylamine with the corresponding aromatic aldehydes. The isoxazolines were prepared from undec-10-en-1-ol and benzonitrile-N-oxide which was generated in situ. The 1H-benzo[d]-imidazol-2-ylthio derivatives were synthesized via the replacement reaction of -bromo esters and 2-mercaptobenzimidazole.

- Sufrace-Active Properties and Thermal Behavior of S-Alkylthio-Carboxylic Acids and Their Potassium Salts
-
S-Alkylthiocarboxylic acids and their potassium salts were prepared by photoaddition of α-olefins (C10, C12, and C14) with mercapto carboxylic acids such as thiomalic acid, triopropionic acid, and thioglycolic acid.The physicochemical solution properties and thermal stabilities for three series of thiosurfactants were evaluated.S-Alkylthiocarboxylic acids that contain bridged S-bonds provide excellent thermally stable surfactants, and their alkaline salts exhibit good surface activity.KEY WORDS: α-Olefin, mercapto carboxylic acid, photoaddition, S-alkylthiocarboxylic acid, S-alkylthioglycolic acid, S-alkylthiomalic acid, S-alkylthiopropionic acid, surface activity, thermal stability.
