Gemini surfactants: A new class of self-assembling molecules
Menger,Littau
, p. 10083 - 10090 (1993)
"Gemini surfactant" is a name assigned to a family of synthetic amphiphiles possessing, in sequence, a long hydrocarbon chain, an ionic group, a spacer, a second ionic group, and another hydrocarbon tail. Intramolecular chain/chain association was inhibited through the use of rigid spacers, thereby averting self-assembly into conventional micellar structures. Aggregation of the geminis was investigated by (a) surface tension, (b) film-balance methods, (c) dynamic light scattering, (d) 1H and 23Na NMR, and (e) spectral changes in an adsorbed dye. Among the more striking properties of geminis, one should cite the following: (a) a higher critical micelle concentration (according to surface tension and NMR) for geminis with two long chains of 16-20 carbons than that for shorter-chain analogs; (b) the lift-off areas in monomolecular films that are several times those of phospholipids, indicating that the geminis lie absolutely horizontally at the air/water interface; and (c) the formation of only small micelles, despite the potential to grow, polymer-like, into extended strands. It is argued that geminis, especially the longer-chain members, engage in self-coiling or submicellar aggregation when first exposed to water. Self-assembly into micelles and adsorption at the air/water interface then take place over hours or days at 23 °C but much more rapidly at 50 °C. Spectral data provide strong evidence for submicellar structures.
Two resveratrol analogs, pinosylvin and 4,4′-dihydroxystilbene, improve oligoasthenospermia in a mouse model by attenuating oxidative stress via the Nrf2-ARE pathway

Two synthesized resveratrol analogs from our laboratory, namely pinosylvin (3,5-dihydroxy-trans-stilbene, PIN) and 4,4′-dihydroxystilbene (DHS), have been carefully evaluated for treatment of oligoasthenospermia. Recent studies have demonstrated that PIN and DHS improved sperm quality in the mouse. However, the mechanism of action of PIN and DHS on oligoasthenospermia remains unknown. Herein, we investigated the mechanistic basis for improvements in sperm parameters by PIN and DHS in a mouse model of oligoasthenospermia induced by treatment with busulfan (BUS) at 6 mg/kg b.w. Two weeks following busulfan treatment, mice were administered different concentrations of PIN or DHS daily for 2 consecutive weeks. Thereafter, epididymal sperm concentration and motility were determined, and histopathology of the testes was performed. Serum hormone levels including testosterone (T), luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) were measured using corresponding specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. Testicular mRNA expression profiles were determined by RNA sequencing analysis. These findings were validated by quantitative real-time PCR, western blotting and ELISA. Both PIN and DHS improved the epididymal sperm concentration and motility, enhanced testosterone levels, and promoted testicular morphological recovery following BUS treatment. PIN treatment was found to significantly reduce oxidative stress via the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-antioxidant response element (ARE)-dependent antioxidant, glutathione peroxidase 3. DHS treatment significantly reduced oxidative stress via the Nrf2-ARE-dependent antioxidants glutathione S-transferase theta 2 and glutathione S-transferase omega 2. In summary, PIN and DHS ameliorated oligoasthenospermia in this mouse model by attenuating oxidative stress via the Nrf2-ARE pathway.

Ligand-controlled iridium-catalyzed semihydrogenation of alkynes with ethanol: highly stereoselective synthesis of E- and Z-alkenes

A ligand-controlled iridium-catalyzed semihydrogenation of alkynes to E- and Z-alkenes with ethanol was developed. Effective selectivity control was achieved by ligand regulation. The use of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (DPPE) and 1,5-cyclooctadiene (COD) was critical for the stereoselective semihydrogenation of alkynes. The general applicability of this procedure was highlighted by the synthesis of more than 40 alkenes, with good stereoselectivities. The value of our approach in practical applications was investigated by studying the effects of pinosylvin and 4,4′-dihydroxystilbene (DHS) on zebrafish as a vertebrate model.
