- Process for the preparation of fatty acids
-
The invention discloses a method for preparing fatty acid. The method comprises the following steps: providing a first reactant which is a furan compound containing an carbonyl group; providing a second reactant which is a compound containing a carboxyl group, an ester group or an anhydride group and can participate in a condensation reaction with the carbonyl group of the first reactant; allowingthe first reactant and the second reactant to participate in a first condensation reaction, and allowing a C=O bond of the carbonyl group of the first reactant to be connected with alpha carbon of the carbonyl group of the second reactant and to be converted into a C=C bond so as to form a condensation product; and carrying out a second-step reaction under hydrogen pressure in the presence of a co-catalytic system of a hydrogenation catalyst and Lewis acid, opening a furan ring of the condensation product, carrying out hydrodeoxygenation at the same time, removing all oxygen except for oxygenin the carboxyl group, and allowing a carbon chain to be saturated so as to obtain the fatty acid.

- Photocatalytic decarboxylative alkenylation of α-amino and α-hydroxy acid-derived redox active esters by NaI/PPh3 catalysis
-
Herein, we report the photocatalytic decarboxylative alkenylation reactions of N-(acyloxy)phthalimide derived from α-amino and α-hydroxy acids with 1,1-diarylethene, and with cinnamic acid derivatives through double decarboxylation, using sodium iodide and triphenylphosphine as redox catalysts. The reaction proceeds under mild irradiation conditions with visible blue light (440 nm or 456 nm) in an acetone solvent without recourse to transition-metal or organic dye based photoredox catalysts. The reaction proceeds via photoactivation of a transiently self-assembled chromophore from N-(acyloxy)phthalimide and NaI/PPh3. Solvation plays a crucial role in the reactivity.

- Palladium(II)-Catalyzed Oxidative Decarboxylative [2 + 2 + 1] Annulation of Cinnamic Acids with Alkynes: Access to Polysubstituted Pentafulvenes
-
An unprecedented palladium(II)-catalyzed oxidative decarboxylative [2 + 2 + 1] annulation of cinnamic acids with alkynes has been developed for the synthesis of polysubstituted pentafulvenes. Ag2CO3 and DMSO are essential for the reaction. This protocol features readily available starting materials, a wide substrate scope, and moderate to excellent yields. Moreover, various significant frameworks can be easily obtained from the late-stage transformations of pentafulvenes via oxidation, reduction, and Scholl-type reaction.

- Synthesis of heteroleptic pentavalent antimonials bearing heterocyclic cinnamate moieties and their biological studies
-
In the search of new drugs with high therapeutic efficacy, antimony (V) dicarboxylates bearing cinnamate moieties with general formula [SbR3(O2CR′)2] have been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic techniques like FTIR, multinuclear (1H and 13C) NMR and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The organic moieties (R) in the complexes are phenyl and p-tolyl while the carboxylates are heterocyclic acrylates. In the crystal structure of [Sb(phenyl)3(O2CC2H2C4H3O)2] (1), [Sb(phenyl)3(O2CC2H2C4H3S)2] (3), [Sb(p-tolyl)3(O2CC2H2C4H3S)2] (5) and [Sb(p-tolyl)3(O2CC2H2C4H2O(CH3))2] (6), antimony was found to adopt a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry and was monomeric with phenyl or p-tolyl groups at equatorial and carboxylate ligands at axial positions. Furthermore, biological activities of carboxylates and their corresponding complexes were conducted including antileishmanial activity (against Leishmania tropica KWH23 parasite), anticancer (against HepG2 cell line), antibacterial (against Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae) and α-amylase inhibition potentials. Results show that compounds (4), (5) and (6) are significantly cytotoxic against cancer cells (median inhibitory concentration (IC50): 7.44, 4.61, 5.0 μg/mL respectively) and leishmania parasite (IC50: 1.75, 0.03 and 0.02 μg/mL respectively). Results of biological activities suggest these complexes as attractive therapeutic agents for further in vivo studies except α-amylase inhibition.

- A METHOD FOR THE SITE-SPECIFIC ENZYMATIC LABELLING OF NUCLEIC ACIDS IN VITRO BY INCORPORATION OF UNNATURAL NUCLEOTIDES
-
Provided herein are analogs of unnatural nucleotides bearing predominantly hydrophobic nucleobase analogs that form unnatural base pairs during DNA polymerase- mediated replication of DNA or RNA polymerase-mediated transcription of RNA. In this manner, the unnatural nucleobases can be introduced in a site-specific way into oligonucleotides (single or double stranded DNA or RNA), where they can provide for site-specific cleavage, or can provide a reactive linker than can undergo functionalization with a cargo -bearing reagent by means of reaction with a primary amino group or by means of click chemistry with an alkyne group of the unnatural nucleobase linker.

- Natural-like replication of an unnatural base pair for the expansion of the genetic alphabet and biotechnology applications
-
We synthesized a panel of unnatural base pairs whose pairing depends on hydrophobic and packing forces and identify dTPT3-dNaM, which is PCR amplified with a natural base pair-like efficiency and fidelity. In addition, the dTPT3 scaffold is uniquely tolerant of attaching a propargyl amine linker, resulting in the dTPT3PA-dNaM pair, which is amplified only slightly less well. The identification of dTPT3 represents significant progress toward developing an unnatural base pair for the in vivo expansion of an organism's genetic alphabet and for a variety of in vitro biotechnology applications where it is used to site-specifically label amplified DNA, and it also demonstrates for the first time that hydrophobic and packing forces are sufficient to mediate natural-like replication.

- Synthesis and sar study of diarylpentanoid analogues as new anti-inflammatory agents
-
A series of ninety-seven diarylpentanoid derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity through NO suppression assay using interferone gamma (IFN-γ)/lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. Twelve compounds (9, 25, 28, 43, 63, 64, 81, 83, 84, 86, 88 and 97) exhibited greater or similar NO inhibitory activity in comparison with curcumin (14.7 ± 0.2 μM), notably compounds 88 and 97, which demonstrated the most significant NO suppression activity with IC50 values of 4.9 ± 0.3 μM and 9.6 ± 0.5 μM, respectively. A structure-activity relationship (SAR) study revealed that the presence of a hydroxyl group in both aromatic rings is critical for bioactivity of these molecules. With the exception of the polyphenolic derivatives, low electron density in ring-A and high electron density in ring-B are important for enhancing NO inhibition. Meanwhile, pharmacophore mapping showed that hydroxyl substituents at both meta- and para-positions of ring-B could be the marker for highly active diarylpentanoid derivatives.

- Design, synthesis and in vitro antibacterial/antifungal evaluation of novel 1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7(1-piperazinyl)quinoline-3-carboxylic acid derivatives
-
A series of 1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7(1-piperazinyl)quinoline-3-carboxylic acid (norfloxacin) derivatives were prepared according to the principle of combinating bioactive substructures and tested for their activities against five plant pathogenic bacteria and three fungi in vitro. The preliminary bioassays indicated that almost all synthesized target compounds retained the antibacterial activities of norfloxacin and had some antifungal activities as carboxylic acid amide compounds. The activities of compounds 1 and 22 against Xanthomonas oryzae were better than norfloxacin and all tested compounds had better antibacterial activities as compared to the agricultural streptomycin sulfate (a commercial bactericide) against X. oryzae, Xanthomonas axonopodis and Erwinia aroideae. Additionally, compounds 2 and 20 displayed good antifungal activities against Rhizoctonia solani and their inhibition of growth reached 83% and 94% respectively at the concentration of 200 mg/L.
