Chinese quince fruits (Chaenomeles sinensis) have an abundance of lignins with antioxidant activities. To facilitate the utilization of Chinese quince fruits, lignin was isolated from it by auto-catalyzed ethanol organosolv pretreatment. The effects of three processing conditions (temperature, time, and ethanol concentration) on yield, structural features and antioxidant activities of the auto-catalyzed ethanol organosolv lignin samples were assessed individually. Results showed the pretreatment temperature was the most significant factor; it affected the molecular weight, S/G ratio, number of β-O-4′ linkages, thermal stability, and antioxidant activities of lignin samples. According to the GPC analyses, the molecular weight of lignin samples had a negative correlation with pretreatment temperature. 2D-HSQC NMR and Py-GC/MS results revealed that the S/G ratios of lignin samples increased with temperature, while total phenolic hydroxyl content of lignin samples decreased. The structural characterization clearly indicated that the various pretreatment conditions affected the structures of organosolv lignin, which further resulted in differences in the antioxidant activities of the lignin samples. These results can be helpful for controlling and optimizing delignification during auto-catalyzed ethanol organosolv pretreatment, and they provide theoretical support for the potential applications of Chinese quince fruits lignin as a natural antioxidant in the food industry.

The novel marine pyrrole alkaloid neolamellarin A derived from sponge has been shown to inhibit hypoxia-induced HIF-1 activity. In this work, we designed and synthesized neolamellarin A and its series of derivatives by a convergent synthetic strategy. The HIF-1 inhibitory activity and cytotoxicity of these compounds were evaluated in Hela cells by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and MTT assay, respectively. The results showed that neolamellarin A 1 (IC50 = 10.8 ± 1.0 μM) and derivative 2b (IC50 = 11.9 ± 3.6 μM) had the best HIF-1 inhibitory activity and low cytotoxicity. Our SAR research focused on the effects of key regions aliphatic carbon chain length, aromatic ring substituents and C-7 substituent on biological activity, providing a basis for the subsequent research on the development of novel pyrrole alkaloids as HIF-1 inhibitors and design of small molecule probes for target protein identification.

Paragraph 0070, (2018/05/07)
The invention discloses a method for preparing a phenylethanolamine compound intermediate. The method comprises the following steps: (1) carrying out a nitrifying reaction on 1-methyl-3-phenylpropylamine and a nitrifying reagent to obtain a 4-(4-nitrophenyl)-butan-2-amine and 4-(2-nitrophenyl)-butan-2-amine mixture; and (2) reacting the mixture obtained in step (1) with a compound of formula III,and separating the obtained reaction product to obtain the phenylethanolamine compound intermediate of formula I. The method for preparing the phenylethanolamine compound intermediate has the advantages of simplicity in operation, short route and few steps; and an o-nitro impurities generated in the nitrifying reaction can be easily removed after being reacted without separation and becoming corresponding amides, so the reaction yield and the product purity are high, and the industrial production of the product is facilitated.
