En Route to D-Ring Inverted Phorbol Esters

Phorbol esters are long regarded as tumor promotors, due to protein kinase C (PKC) activation, but more recently higher oxidized natural derivatives have been shown to display antitumor activity. Given the synthetic difficulty, systematic non-natural syst

Structural features and antioxidant activities of Chinese quince (Chaenomeles sinensis) fruits lignin during auto-catalyzed ethanol organosolv pretreatment

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.

Biomimetic Design of a 3 D Transition Metal/Carbon Dyad for the One-Step Hydrodeoxygenation of Vanillin

Enzyme catalysts always show an excellent catalytic selectivity, which is important in biochemistry, especially in catalytic synthesis and biopharming. This selectivity is achieved by combining the binding effect induced by the electrostatic effect of the enzyme to attract a specific substrate and then the prearrangement of the substrates inside the enzyme pocket. Herein, we report a proof-of-concept application of an interfacial electrostatic field induced by constructing Schottky heterojunctions to mimic the electrostatic catalysis of an enzyme. In combination with the 3 D structure, a transition metal/carbon dyad was designed by nanoconfinement methods to promote the differential binding effect and the space-induced organization of the reaction intermediate (vanillyl alcohol) to develop a new one-step hydrogenolysis of vanillin for the production of 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol with a remarkably high selectivity (>99 %).
