文摘[Objective]The relationship between signal molecule N-acety-homoserine lactones(AHLs) and Microcystis aeruginosa cell apoptosis was studied.[Method]With M.aeruginosa as the test materials treated by 5 μmol/L N-acety-homoserine lactones(AHLs),the morphology of cell apoptosis was observed through staining with DAPI.[Result]Microcystis aeruginosa cell apoptosis was induced by signal molecule N-acetyhomoserine lactones(AHLs) with the concentration of 1 μmol/L to inhibit the growth and proliferation of Microcystis aeruginosa.[Conclusion] The results provided the important scientific basis and new management ideas for the treatment of water bloom of Microcystis aeruginosa.
文摘The ginkgo terpenoids including bilobalide and ginkgolides are the main pharmaceutical components in the leaves or extracts of Ginkgo biloba L. In this paper, the analysis of bilobalide and ginkgolides in leaves of Ginkgo biloba L. by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-electrospray ionization (ESI)-mass spectrometry (MS) was carried out. The separation was performed on Inertsil ODS3 column with methanol-water (36:64) as mobile phase, with 1 mL·min -1 of flow rate at 35℃. Then the mass spectrum analysis was conducted by ZMD micromass electrospray ionization (ESI)-mass spectrometer (MS). The HPLC total ion chromatogram and selected ion chromatogram (with 325, 407, 423, 439 of m/z) of the sample and ESI-/MS mass spectra of the peaks in the chromatograms were obtained. So bilobalide, ginkgolide A, B, C and J in Ginkgo biloba L. leaves were identified. The method is easy and rapid, with a good accuracy.
文摘From the dried roots and leaves of Tripterygium wilfordii^(1.2),a new diter- penoid triepoxide,16-hydroxytriptolide was isolated,and its structure and stereochemistry elucidated as 16-(S)-hydroxy-triptolide on the basis of spectral data(IR, MS, UV,~1HNMR,^(13)CNMR,2d-NMR,Selective Long-range DEPT)and x-ray crystallographic analysis.This compound showed definite antiinflammatory action,strong immunosuppressive and antifertile activities.In addition,a known compound,triptolide was also isolated and all the spectral signals of^1 HNMR and ^(13)CNMR were assigned.
文摘Stereoselective functionalization at C-2 and C-3 of the gibberellin skeleton was achieved via an intramolecular free radical cyclization approach using a tethered C-19 halomethyl ester as the radical precursor.
