However, it is hard to distinguish the amide A band of aqueous protein in situ directly, since it overlaps with O-H stretching vibration of water. In this work, we presented a new analytical method of Raman ratio spectrum, which can extract the amide A band of proteins in water. To obtain the Raman ratio spectrum, the Raman spectrum of aqueous protein was divided by that of pure water. A mathematical simulation was employed to examine whether Raman ratio spectrum is effective. Two kinds of protein, lysozyme and （^-chymotrypsin were employed. The amide A bands of them in water were extracted from Raman ratio spectra. Additionally, the process of thermal denaturation of lysozyme was detected from Raman ratio spectrum. These results demonstrated the Raman ratio spectra could be employed to study the amide A modes of proteins in water.展开更多

文摘Ursolic acid was modified at C3 and C28 position to obtain fourteen derivatives including twelve novel compounds, and their chemical structures were characterized by IR, ^1H NMR and MS. Cell growth inhibitory effects of the derivatives against Hela cell were evaluated by MTT assay. All these derivatives were found to have stronger cell growth inhibitory than their parent compound, ursolic acid. The derivatives with a substituted acetyl group at C3 hydroxyl group show better activities than those with an unsubstituted hydroxyl group.
文摘A new wo-armed?acyclic diamide Ia 2, 6-bis(1-ethanecarbozamido-2-amino)pyridine, and a new series of aromatic aldehyde schiff bases containing pyridine ring and amide bridge, IIa-f, were prepared. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1HNMR and MS. The bioactivity half inhibitory concentration C1/2 is given.
文摘The development of economic and environmentally friendly extractants to recover cobalt metal is required due to the increasing demand for this metal.In this study,solvent extraction of Co（Ⅱ） from aqueous solution using a mixture of N,N＇-carbonyl difatty amides（CDFAs） synthesised from palm oil as the extractant was carried out.The effects of various parameters such as acid,contact time,extractant concentration,metal ion concentration and stripping agent and the separation of Co（Ⅱ） from other metal ions such as Fe（Ⅱ）,Ni（Ⅱ）,Zn（Ⅲ） and Cd（Ⅱ） were investigated.It was found that the extraction of Co（Ⅱ） into the organic phase involved the formation of 1：1 complexes.Co（Ⅱ） was successfully separated from commonly associated metal ions such as Fe（Ⅱ）,Ni（Ⅱ）,Zn（Ⅲ） and Cd（Ⅱ）.Co（Ⅱ） stripping from the loaded organic phase was studied in aqueous solution.These results are useful to recover Co（Ⅱ） from aqueous solution utilising（CDFAs） as an extractant.
文摘（S）-（＋）-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane carbox amide is a key intermediate of Cilastatin, an inhibitor of dehydropeptidase-I. Its corresponding solid-liquid equilibrium data will provide essential support for industrial design and further theoretical studies. The solubilities of （S）-（＋）-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane carbox amide in toluene, dichloromethane, trichloromethane, ethyl acetate, ethanol and pure water at different temperature were measured using the synthetic method by a laser monitoring observation technique. The solubility data were correlated with the modified Apelblat equation.The calculated values were good in agreement with the experimental values.

文摘In order to discover highly active ecdysone analogs, a series of new substituted pyrazole amide derivatives were obtained using structure-guided optimization method and further screened for their insecticidal activities, in the basis of the core structures of the two active compounds N-（3-methoxyphenyl）-3-（tert-butyl）-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide（6e） and N-（4-（tert-butyl）phenyl）-3-（tert-butyl）-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide（6i）, previously presented by us. The chemical structures of the title compounds were identified by spectral analyses. The preliminary bioassay results indicated that one among the synthesized pyrazole derivatives, compound 34, endowed with good activity against Mythimna Separata at 10 mg/L, which was equal to that displayed by the positive control tebufenozide. In addition, examples of molecular docking and molecular dynamics studies demonstrated that 34 may be the potential inhibitor to Ec R and its docking conformation was similar to that of tebufenozide. In addition, increasing the hydrophobic effect and considering the suitable bulk effect on pyrazole ring are beneficial to the inhibiting activity to Ec R and activity in vivo.
