Abstract

The first cases of hindered rotation around the triple bond in simple diphenylacetylenes were observed, including that in chiral 2,2'-bis(trimethylsilyl)-6,6'-bis(dimethylthexylsilyl)diphenylacetylene.

Stereoselectivity by enantiomeric inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinase-8: new insights from molecular dynamics simulations.

Molecular Dynamics simulations in aqueous solution were performed for the matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) free catalytic domain and for its complexes with the (R)- and (S)-[1-(4'-methoxybiphenyl-4-sulfonylamino)-2-methylpropyl] phosphonate. The 144-155 loop of the enzyme undergoes a drastic decrease of mobility once complexed with both enantiomers. The two enantiomers induce a different decrease of conformational entropy upon complexation. The higher affinity of the R-enantiomer can be related to the lower loss of conformational entropy accompanying its binding. The differences in the dynamical behavior of the protein induced by the two enantiomers are discussed at molecular level and the mode of binding of the simulated complexes is compared with that previously determined by X-ray crystallography.

The unusual electrochemical and photophysical behavior of 2,2'-bis(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)biphenyls, effective electron transport hosts for phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes.

The fluorescence and phosphorescence of 2,2'-bis(5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)biphenyl shows good spectral matching with the absorption spectra of the MLCT1 and MLCT3 transitions of Ir(ppy)3. The red-shift of the 0-0 band in the phosphorescence at 77 K is due to the intramolecular pi-pi interactions between the oxadiazole side chains. Maximum brightness of 43,000 cd/m2 with an efficiency of 26 cd/A at 200 cd/m2 was achieved when BOBP was used as the host material for Ir(ppy)3 in the PHOLED study. [structure: see text].

Rapid purification and scale-up of honokiol and magnolol using high-capacity high-speed counter-current chromatography.

In this paper, a rapid separation approach has been developed using high-capacity high-speed counter-current chromatography (high-capacity HSCCC) to isolate and purify honokiol and magnolol, which are the main bioactive constituents from Houpu. The optimization of the solvent selection process, sample loading volume and flow rate is systematically studied using analytical high-capacity HSCCC. The optimized parameters obtained rapidly at analytical scale were used for a 1000 x scale-up preparative run using pilot scale high-capacity HSCCC in a MAXI-DE centrifuge. A crude sample of 43 g was successfully separated and the fractions were analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This large scale preparative single step run yielded 16.9 and 19.4 g of honokiol and magnolol with purities of 98.6 and 99.9%, in only 20 min. This is the first time that high-performance counter-current chromatography has been used to purify multiple gram grade bioactive compounds in less than 1h and at such high concentrations of final products (10.8 g/l for magnolol and 7.0 g/l for honokiol).
