Strategic incorporation of nitrogen-rich substituents(e.g., hydrazine, guanidine) into the 1,2,3-triazine 2-oxide framework yielded compounds with diverse performance characteristics. Notably, compound 2 demonstrates energy performance(D = 8916 m·s^(-1) and P = 36.80 GPa) comparable to RDX, yet with lower mechanical sensitivity(IS = 37 J). Theoretical calculations show that the properties of the substituents themselves and their coupling with the molecular skeleton jointly determine the key properties of the target molecules. This study provides a framework for the customized design of energetic materials by linking the chemical properties of substituents with the performance parameters of target molecules. These findings highlight the potential of local molecular structural modification driven by structure-activity relationship analysis in promoting the development of next-generation energetic materials and lay a solid foundation for future research in this field.展开更多

Then, the steatotic cells were incubated for 24 h with different concentrations (25 to 100 μmol/L) of silybin as phytosome complex with vitamin E. The effects of silybin on lipid accumulation and metabolism, and on indices of oxidative stress were evaluated by absorption and fluorescence microscopy, quantitative real-time PCR, Western blot, spectrophotometric and fluorimetric assays.RESULTS: Lipid-loading resulted in intracellular triglyceride (TG) accumulation inside lipid droplets, whose number and size increased. TG accumulation was mediated by increased levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) and sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c). The lipid imbalance was associated with higher production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) resulting in increased lipid peroxidation, stimulation of catalase activity and activation of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB). Incubation of steatotic cells with silybin 50 μmol/L significantly reduced TG accumulation likely by promoting lipid catabolism and by inhibiting lipogenic pathways, as suggested by the changes in carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT-1), PPAR and SREBP-1c levels. The reduction in fat accumulation exerted by silybin in the steatotic cells was associated with the improvement of the oxidative imbalance caused by lipid excess as demonstrated by the reduction in ROS content, lipid peroxidation, catalase activity and NF-κB activation.CONCLUSION: We demonstrated the direct anti-steatotic and anti-oxidant effects of silybin in steatotic cells, thus elucidating at a cellular level the encouraging results demonstrated in clinical and animal studies.展开更多

文摘The activity of proteinase is reported to correlate with the development and progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD).Puromycin-sensitive aminopeptidase(PSA/NPEPPS)is an integral nontransmembrane enzyme that functions to catalyze the cleavage of amino acids near the N-terminus of polypeptides.A previous study suggested that this enzyme acts as a regulator of neuropeptide activity;however,the metabolic function of this enzyme in the liver has not been explored.Here,we identified the novel role of PSA in hepatic lipid metabolism.Specifically,PSA expression was lower in fatty livers from NAFLD patients and mice(HFD,ob/ob,and db/db).PSA knockdown in cultured hepatocytes exacerbated diet-induced triglyceride accumulation through enhanced lipogenesis and attenuated fatty acid β-oxidation.Moreover,PSA mediated activation of the master regulator of antioxidant response,nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(NRF2),by stabilizing NRF2 protein expression,which further induced downstream antioxidant enzymes to protect the liver from oxidative stress and lipid overload.Accordingly,liver-specific PSA overexpression attenuated hepatic lipid accumulation and steatosis in ob/ob mice.Furthermore,in human liver tissue samples,decreased PSA expression correlated with the progression of NAFLD.Overall,our findings suggest that PSA is a pivotal regulator of hepatic lipid metabolism and its antioxidant function occurs by suppressing NRF2 ubiquitination.Moreover,PSA may be a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for treating NAFLD.
文摘Keeping in view the biological activities of 1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane-2-one and oxime esters. some compounds possessing these two moieties have been synthesized. The configurational assignment and the ratio of cis/trans diastereomers of target products were performed on basis of H-1 NMR. P-31 NMR and confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis.

文摘Iron oxidation is a prevalent and important biogeochemical process in paddy soil,but little is known about whether and how microbially mediated iron oxidation is coupled with carbon assimilation,particularly under microaerobic conditions.Here,we investigated kinetics of CO_2 assimilation and Fe(Ⅱ)oxidation in an incubation experiment with paddy soil under suboxic conditions,and profiled the associated microbial community using DNA-stable isotope probing and 16S r RNA gene-based sequencing.The results showed that CO_2 assimilation and Fe(II)oxidation in the gradient tubes were predominantly mediated by the microbes enriched in the paddy soil,primarily Azospirillum and Magnetospirillum,as their relative abundances were higher in the^( 13)C heavy fractions compared to^( 12)C heavy fractions.This study provided direct evidence of chemoautotrophic microaerophiles linking iron oxidation and carbon assimilation at the oxic–anoxic interface in the paddy soil ecosystem.

文摘As a potential substitute for fatty acids,common low-cost oils could be used to produce acetyl-CoA derivatives,which meet the needs of low-cost industrial production.However,oils are hydrophobic macromolecules and cannot be directly transported into cells.In this study,caveolin was expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to absorb exogenous oils.The expression of caveolin fused with green fluorescent protein showed that caveolin mediated the formation of microvesicles in S.cerevisiae and the addition of 5,6-carboxyfluorescein showed that caveolae had the ability to transport exogenous substances into cells.The intracellular and extracellular triacylglycerol levels were then detected after the addition of soybean oil pre-stained with Nile Red,which proved that caveolae had the ability to absorb the exogenous oils.Lastly,caveolin for oils absorption and lipase from Bacillus pumilus for oil hydrolysis were co-expressed in the naringenin-producing Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain,resulting in naringenin production increasing from 222 mg/g DCW(dry cell weight)(231 mg/L)to 269 mg/g DCW(241 mg/L).These results suggested that the caveolin-mediated transporter independent oil transport system would provide a promising strategy for the transport of hydrophobic substrates.
