These findings urged us to investigate whether different formation conditions of the molecule-ion system between Li2CO3 and β-CD in solid state were involved in different spectral performances. To answer the question, we prepared three adducts of Li2CO3 to β-CD, i.e., samples 1, 2, and 3, by magnetic stirring, solvothermal and grinding conditions, respectively. Powder X-ray diffraction and Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy provided the information of formation of the three molecule-ion adducts. Besides, scanning electron microscope images provided different surface information of the three adducts. Further, significant spectral differences in thermal behavior of these adducts were found by thermogravimetry and derivative thermogravimetry.展开更多

Methods Thirty-seven coke oven workers from a coke plant and 47 controls without the occupational exposure to PAHs were recruited in this study. The levels of plasma BPDE-albumin adducts and urinary 1-OHP were analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography. Results The median levels of BPDE-albumin adducts （42.10 fmol/mg albumin） and urinary 1-OHP （5.46 μmol/mol creatinine） were significantly higher in coke oven workers than in controls （14.16 fmol/mg albumin, 2.96μmol/mol creatinine, respectively; P〈0.01）. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that coke oven workers were at higher risk of having BPDE-albumin adduct levels above 25.30 μmol/mg albumin （OR=1.79, P〈0.01） and urinary 1-OHP levels above 4.13 μmol/mol creatinine （OR=2.45, P〈0.05）. There was a positive correlation between the levels of BPDE-albumin adducts and urinary 1-OHP in all subjects （rs=0.349, P〈0.01）. Conclusion BPDE-albumin adduct is a useful biomarker for monitoring long-term exposure to PAHs, and plasma BPDE-albumin adducts level is significantly correlated to urinary 1-OHP levels in coke oven workers.展开更多

This study was conducted to examine the potentially preventive effect of Chinese cabbage (Brassica chinensis), a brassica vegetable most commonly consumed in China, against this carcinogen-induced DNA adduct formation in rats and its possible mechanisms.METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were maintained for 10 days on basal diet or diet containing 20% (w/ w) freeze-dried cabbage powder prior to administration of a single dose of PhIP (10 mg/ kg) by oral gavage. Rats were sacrificed at 20 h after PhIP treatment and PhIP-DNA adducts in the colon, heart, lung and liver were analyzed using 32P-postlabeling technique. Levels of hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1 and 1A2, as indicated by 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase and 7-methlxyresorufin O-demethylase activity, and cytosolic glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) towards 1-chloro-2, 4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) in the liver, lung and colon were measured.RESULTS Rats pre-treated with Chinese cabbage and given a single dose of PhIP had reduced levels of PhIP-DNA adducts in the colon, heart, lung and liver, with inhibition rates of 82.3%, 60.6%, 48.4% and 48.9%, respectively (P＜0.01). The enzyme assays revealed that Chinese cabbage induced both CYP1A1 and 1A2 activity, but the induction was preferential for CYP1A1 over 1A2 (81% vs 51%). GST activity towards CDNB in the liver and lung, but not colon, was also significantly increased by cabbage treatment.CONCLUSION The results indicate that Chinese cabbage has a preventive effect on PhIP-initiated carcinogenesis in rats and the mechanism is likely to involve the induction of detoxification enzymes.展开更多

AFB1-exposure individuals with inherited susceptible carcinogen-metabolizing or repairing genotypes may experience an increased risk of genotoxicity. This study was designed to investigate whether the polymorphisms of two genes, the metabolic gene Glutathione S-transferase M1 （GSTM1） and DNA repair gene x-ray repair cross-complementing group 3 （XRCC3）, can affect the levels of AFB1-DNA adducts in Guangxi Population （n= 966） from an AFB1-exposure area. Methods： AFB1-DNA adducts were measured by ELISA, and GSTM1 and XRCC3 codon 241 genotypes were identified by PCR-RFLP. Results： The GSTM1-null genotype [adjusted odds ratio （OR） = 2.09; 95% confidence interval （CI） = 1.61-2.71] and XRCC3 genotypes with 241 Met alleles [i.e., XRCC3-TM and -MM, adjusted ORs （95% CI） were 1.43 （1.08-1.89） and 2.42 （1.13-5.22）, respectively] were significantly associated with higher levels of AFB1-DNA adducts. Compared with those individuals who did not express any putative risk genotypes as reference （OR = 1）, individuals featuring all of the putative risk genotypes did experience a significantly higher DNA-adduct levels （adjusted ORs were 2.87 for GSTM1-null and XRCC3-TM; 5.83 for GSTM1-null and XRCC3-MM）. Additionally, there was a positive joint effect between XRCC3 genotypes and long-term AFB1 exposure in the formation of AFB1-DNA adducts. Conclusion： These results suggest that individuals with susceptible genotypes GSTM1-null, XRCC3-TM, or XRCC3-MM may experience an increased risk of DNA damage elicited by AFB1 exposure.展开更多

Bond dissociating energy and stability energy of complexes are chosen to study detailedly thermodynamic character of possible difunctional adducts model. In order to investigate the influence of a polarizable environment on the energy of the Pt-L bond formation, we adopt a new bonding energy formula brought forward by Lippard and his coworkers： △H（Sol） = △H（SCF） ＋ △G（Solv）, which is quite appropriate to compare with what is found in experimental studies. Our calculated results demonstrate that N-containing ligands are more favored in view of thermodynamics both in gas phrase and in solution. However, it is worthly to be noted that addition of solvation free energies result in moderate correction of bonding energy in relative ordering, and the largest ones both present in imidazole ligand, not in guanine ligand. Finally, the nature of bond is analyzed in terms of partial charges distribution based on NBO population.展开更多

It was found thatβ-alanine C60 adducts showed an excellent efficiency in eliminating superoxygen anion radical and hydroxyl radical. The 50% inhibition concentration (IC50) for superoxygen anion radical and hydroxyl radical were 0.15 mg/mL and 0.048 mg/mL, respectively. The difference should be mainly attributed to the different scavenging mechanisms.展开更多

The result shows that the Cd（1） centre is five-coordinated by two N and three S atoms in a highly distorted square pyramidal configuration. The C-H＇＂S hydrogen bonding interactions and a set of weak intermolecular r-r stacking between adjacent aromatic rings stabilize the structure and make 1 assemble into a 1D zig-zag chain. In addition, the antibacterial activities of 1 against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus bacteria were also screened by disc diffusion method.展开更多

These structures and the Nd-O distances agreed well with those experimentally found in the crystal structures. Replacing the water molecule with a fluoride ion or a mondentatecarbonato ligand resulted in a nonacoordinated distorted square antiprismatic structures where the trans-carbonato groups were twisted. The corresponding decacoordinated structures with two fluoride ions or a bidentatecarbonato group, [Nd(CO3)4·F2]7-and [Nd(CO3)5]7-, were also investigated. In both cases considerable twisting of the transcarbonato groups was observed.展开更多

文摘A small shielding effect on the hydrogen atoms of chiral carbons of β-cyclodextrin （β-CD） was detected by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, but a large environmental change of the chiral carbon atoms at high concentration ratios of lithium carbonate （Li2CO3） to β-CD was observed by polarimetry in aqueous solution. These findings urged us to investigate whether different formation conditions of the molecule-ion system between Li2CO3 and β-CD in solid state were involved in different spectral performances. To answer the question, we prepared three adducts of Li2CO3 to β-CD, i.e., samples 1, 2, and 3, by magnetic stirring, solvothermal and grinding conditions, respectively. Powder X-ray diffraction and Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy provided the information of formation of the three molecule-ion adducts. Besides, scanning electron microscope images provided different surface information of the three adducts. Further, significant spectral differences in thermal behavior of these adducts were found by thermogravimetry and derivative thermogravimetry.

Methods Thirty-seven coke oven workers from a coke plant and 47 controls without the occupational exposure to PAHs were recruited in this study. The levels of plasma BPDE-albumin adducts and urinary 1-OHP were analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography. Results The median levels of BPDE-albumin adducts （42.10 fmol/mg albumin） and urinary 1-OHP （5.46 μmol/mol creatinine） were significantly higher in coke oven workers than in controls （14.16 fmol/mg albumin, 2.96μmol/mol creatinine, respectively; P〈0.01）. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that coke oven workers were at higher risk of having BPDE-albumin adduct levels above 25.30 μmol/mg albumin （OR=1.79, P〈0.01） and urinary 1-OHP levels above 4.13 μmol/mol creatinine （OR=2.45, P〈0.05）. There was a positive correlation between the levels of BPDE-albumin adducts and urinary 1-OHP in all subjects （rs=0.349, P〈0.01）. Conclusion BPDE-albumin adduct is a useful biomarker for monitoring long-term exposure to PAHs, and plasma BPDE-albumin adducts level is significantly correlated to urinary 1-OHP levels in coke oven workers.

文摘AIM The food-borne carcinogen 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) induces colon and mammary gland tumors in rats and has been implicated in the etiology of human colorectal cancer. This study was conducted to examine the potentially preventive effect of Chinese cabbage (Brassica chinensis), a brassica vegetable most commonly consumed in China, against this carcinogen-induced DNA adduct formation in rats and its possible mechanisms.METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were maintained for 10 days on basal diet or diet containing 20% (w/ w) freeze-dried cabbage powder prior to administration of a single dose of PhIP (10 mg/ kg) by oral gavage. Rats were sacrificed at 20 h after PhIP treatment and PhIP-DNA adducts in the colon, heart, lung and liver were analyzed using 32P-postlabeling technique. Levels of hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1 and 1A2, as indicated by 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase and 7-methlxyresorufin O-demethylase activity, and cytosolic glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) towards 1-chloro-2, 4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) in the liver, lung and colon were measured.RESULTS Rats pre-treated with Chinese cabbage and given a single dose of PhIP had reduced levels of PhIP-DNA adducts in the colon, heart, lung and liver, with inhibition rates of 82.3%, 60.6%, 48.4% and 48.9%, respectively (P＜0.01). The enzyme assays revealed that Chinese cabbage induced both CYP1A1 and 1A2 activity, but the induction was preferential for CYP1A1 over 1A2 (81% vs 51%). GST activity towards CDNB in the liver and lung, but not colon, was also significantly increased by cabbage treatment.CONCLUSION The results indicate that Chinese cabbage has a preventive effect on PhIP-initiated carcinogenesis in rats and the mechanism is likely to involve the induction of detoxification enzymes.

文摘Objective： Aflatoxin B1 （AFB1）, which can cause the formation of AFB1-DNA adducts, is a known human carcinogen. AFB1-exposure individuals with inherited susceptible carcinogen-metabolizing or repairing genotypes may experience an increased risk of genotoxicity. This study was designed to investigate whether the polymorphisms of two genes, the metabolic gene Glutathione S-transferase M1 （GSTM1） and DNA repair gene x-ray repair cross-complementing group 3 （XRCC3）, can affect the levels of AFB1-DNA adducts in Guangxi Population （n= 966） from an AFB1-exposure area. Methods： AFB1-DNA adducts were measured by ELISA, and GSTM1 and XRCC3 codon 241 genotypes were identified by PCR-RFLP. Results： The GSTM1-null genotype [adjusted odds ratio （OR） = 2.09; 95% confidence interval （CI） = 1.61-2.71] and XRCC3 genotypes with 241 Met alleles [i.e., XRCC3-TM and -MM, adjusted ORs （95% CI） were 1.43 （1.08-1.89） and 2.42 （1.13-5.22）, respectively] were significantly associated with higher levels of AFB1-DNA adducts. Compared with those individuals who did not express any putative risk genotypes as reference （OR = 1）, individuals featuring all of the putative risk genotypes did experience a significantly higher DNA-adduct levels （adjusted ORs were 2.87 for GSTM1-null and XRCC3-TM; 5.83 for GSTM1-null and XRCC3-MM）. Additionally, there was a positive joint effect between XRCC3 genotypes and long-term AFB1 exposure in the formation of AFB1-DNA adducts. Conclusion： These results suggest that individuals with susceptible genotypes GSTM1-null, XRCC3-TM, or XRCC3-MM may experience an increased risk of DNA damage elicited by AFB1 exposure.

文摘The B3LYP/6-31G^＊ level of theory was used to optimize trans-[Pt（NH3）（Am）G-L], where Am = quinoline or thiazole and L is chosen as the model for functional groups of peptide side chains, and for adenine and guanine sites of DNA as the ultimate target of platinum anticancer drugs. Bond dissociating energy and stability energy of complexes are chosen to study detailedly thermodynamic character of possible difunctional adducts model. In order to investigate the influence of a polarizable environment on the energy of the Pt-L bond formation, we adopt a new bonding energy formula brought forward by Lippard and his coworkers： △H（Sol） = △H（SCF） ＋ △G（Solv）, which is quite appropriate to compare with what is found in experimental studies. Our calculated results demonstrate that N-containing ligands are more favored in view of thermodynamics both in gas phrase and in solution. However, it is worthly to be noted that addition of solvation free energies result in moderate correction of bonding energy in relative ordering, and the largest ones both present in imidazole ligand, not in guanine ligand. Finally, the nature of bond is analyzed in terms of partial charges distribution based on NBO population.

文摘A convenient method has been developed toward the stereoselective synthesis of N-substituted benzotriazole derivatives under mild conditions. The good stereolectivity, high yields and the simple procedure make the present protocol attractive.
文摘Water-soluble b-alanine C60 adducts were synthesized, and the scavenging ability to superoxygen anion radical O2- and hydroxyl radical.OH were studied by autoxidation of pyrogallol and chemiluminescence, respectively. It was found thatβ-alanine C60 adducts showed an excellent efficiency in eliminating superoxygen anion radical and hydroxyl radical. The 50% inhibition concentration (IC50) for superoxygen anion radical and hydroxyl radical were 0.15 mg/mL and 0.048 mg/mL, respectively. The difference should be mainly attributed to the different scavenging mechanisms.

The crystal of 1 crystallizes in triclinic, space group P1 with a = 10.4607（19）, b = 11.679（2）, c = 18.480（3） A, a = 98.900（2）, β = 103.321（2）, ）, = 91.779（2）, V= 2165.2（7） A3, Dc = 1.447 g/cm3, Z = 2, C42H4404N2P2S4Cd, Mr = 943.37, F（000） = 968,μ = 0.814 mm-1, the final R = 0.0536 and wR = 0.1206 for 6275 observed reflections with 1 〉 2a（/） and R = 0.0690 and wR = 0.1339 for all data. The result shows that the Cd（1） centre is five-coordinated by two N and three S atoms in a highly distorted square pyramidal configuration. The C-H＇＂S hydrogen bonding interactions and a set of weak intermolecular r-r stacking between adjacent aromatic rings stabilize the structure and make 1 assemble into a 1D zig-zag chain. In addition, the antibacterial activities of 1 against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus bacteria were also screened by disc diffusion method.

文摘Theoretical investigation on the structures of the octacoordinated [Nd(CO3)4]5-and the nonacoordinated [Nd(CO3)4.OH2]5-complexes, using the SPARKLE parameters of the lanthanides within MOPAC, revealed that they possessed dodecahedral and square antiprismatic structures respectively with an average Nd-O distance of 0.249 nm. These structures and the Nd-O distances agreed well with those experimentally found in the crystal structures. Replacing the water molecule with a fluoride ion or a mondentatecarbonato ligand resulted in a nonacoordinated distorted square antiprismatic structures where the trans-carbonato groups were twisted. The corresponding decacoordinated structures with two fluoride ions or a bidentatecarbonato group, [Nd(CO3)4·F2]7-and [Nd(CO3)5]7-, were also investigated. In both cases considerable twisting of the transcarbonato groups was observed.
