Factors affecting the accumulation of 9-methoxycanthin-6-one in callus cultures of Eurycoma longifolia

A study was conducted to improve 9-methoxycanthin-6-one productivity （potential anti-tumour compound） from callus cultures of Emycorna longifolia （Tongkat All）. Several factors affecting 9-methoxycanthin-6-one production in callus cultures such as different medium compositions and physical factors were investigated and analyzed. Results show that a higher production of 9-methoxycanthin-6-one （3.84 mg-g-1 DW （Dry Weight）） is obtained from callus cultured in 1/4 MS basal media. At fructose of 2% （w/v）, the production of 9-methoxycanthin-6-one （4.59 mgg-1DW） is promoted to gain the highest yield, compared to other carbon sources tested. The addition of 2.0-mg·L^-1 dicamba also increases 9-methoxycanthin-6-one production （12.3 mg·g^-1 DW）. Higher production of 9-methoxycanthin-6-one was obtained at pH 5.5 （1.53 mg·g^-1 DW）. Production of 9-methoxycanthin-6-one （2.34 mg-g^-1 DW） in callus cultures is also increased when the medium is added with 1×10 ^-1μM phenylalanine. This study suggests that the successful production of 9-methoxycanthin-6-one in vitro cultures has a potential in large-scale production using bioreactor technology.

Synthesis and Crystal structure of Bis- (thiourea)dichloroiron(II) Di(4,5-diazafluoren-9-one)

The title compound Fe(CH4N2S)2Cl22(C11H6N2O) (Mr = 643.35) has been prepared and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction method with the following data: triclinic, space group P1, a = 7.3742(10), b = 13.0427(12), c = 15.215(2) , a = 88.969(12), b = 78.004(12), g = 79.689(11)o, V = 1408.1(3) 3, Z = 2, Dx = 1.517 g/cm3, m = 0.912 mm-1 and F(000) = 656. The final R = 0.030 and wR = 0.078 for 4070 observed reflections (I > 2s(I)), and R = 0.064 and wR = 0.091 for 5516 independent ones. The crystal consists of tetrahedral Fe(II) complex and hydrogen bonded 4,5-diazafluoren-9-one (dafone). The carbonyl bridge in dafone distorts the bipyridine moiety and results in the longer N…N separation of 3.071(3) and 3.061(3) ? There exists an extensive intermolecular hydrogen bond network in the crystal, and p-p stacking is observed between the neighboring dafone rings.

Electrocatalytic oxidation of thiosulfate at 2,7-bis(ferrocenylethyl)-fluoren-9-one-modified carbon paste electrode(2,7-BFEFMCPE):Application to the catalytic determination of thiosulfate in real sample

Electrocatalytic oxidation of thiosulfate at the 2,7-BFEFMCPE occurs at a potential about 460 mV less positive than that unmodified carbon paste electrode.The diffusion coefficient（=5.6×10^-5）cm^2 s^-1）,the kinetic parameters such as electron transfer coefficient,（=0.5） and kh（=1.21×10^-3 cm s^-1） of thiosulfate oxidation at the surface of,2,7-BFEFMCPE were determined.The electrocatalytic oxidation peak current of thiosulfate showed two linear dynamic ranges（0.0006-0.009 mmol/L and 0.009- 0.900 mmol/L） and a detection limit of 0.00015 mmol/L.This method was also examined as a new electrochemical sensor for the determination of thiosulfate in real sample.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 4,5-Diazafluorene-9-one Azine Hydrochloride Hydrate

Crystals of the title compound C22H12N62HCl?H2O (DAA稨Cl) were obtained from a HCl aqueous solution of 4, 5-diazafluorene-9-one azine. The crystal belongs to monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 5.203(3), b = 8.991(3), c = 22.17(1) , b = 92.13(4), V = 1036.2(9) 3, Z = 2, C22H18N6O2Cl2, Mr = 468.1, Dc = 1.503 g/cm3, F(000) = 484, m(MoKa) = 0.344 mm-1, R = 0.052 and wR = 0.056 for 755 observed reflections. The Cl…N(2) distance of 2.999(6) ?and Cl…HN(2) angle of 160.8(8)o imply the existence of a stronger H-bond between Cl and DAA. And both the rather longer ClH distance of 1.814(2) ?and the unexpected shorter N(2)H distance of 1.236(6) ?suggest the protonation of DAA molecule and explain the weak coordination ability of DAA to a metal center in the acidic solution.

Studies on the esterifications of 9-(hydroxyimino)-4-methyl-8,9-dihydrofuro[2,3-h]chromen-2-one with acid chlorides under different conditions

The esterifications of 9-（hydroxyimino）-4-methyl-8,9-dihydrofuro[2,3-h]chromen-2-one （4） with acid chlorides afforded normal oxime-esters 3a-e in 35-78% yields in presence of excessive 4-dimethylaminopyridine as the acid scavenger, whereas the reactions gave unexpected 8-substituted products N-（8-chloro-4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-furo-[2,3-h]chromen-9-yl）amides （5a-c） and 4-methyl-2,9-dioxo-8,9-dihydro-2H-furo[2,3-h]chromen-8-ylcarboxyloates （6d-e） by using excessive acid chlorides. The structures of 10 new compounds were determined by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS and HRMS, and the possible mechanism for the formation of unexpected products 5a--c and 6d-e was also proposed.

A concise and efficient method for the synthesis of novel 9,10-imethoxybenzo[6,7]oxepino[3,4-b]quinolin13(6H)-one and its derivatives 7a-p has been developed via the intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation reactions of 6,7-dimethoxy-2-(phenoxymethyl)quinoline-3-carboxylic acids 6a-p with polyphosphoric acid (PPA) as catalyst and solvent under mild conditions.

The novel synthetic method has the advantages of good yields, easy work-up, and environmentally friendly character, which may provide a novel highly efficient process for making quinoline and related azaheterocycle libraries.

3-Arylisothiazoloquinols as potent ligands for the benzodiazepine site of GABA_(A) receptors

3-Arylisothiazolo[5,4-b]quinolin-4(9H)-ones and 3-arylisoxazolo[5,4-b]quinolin-4(9H)-ones were synthesized and assayed for affinity for the benzodiazepine binding site of the GABAA receptors. While the 3-arylisothiazoloquinolin-4-ones were found to be potent ligands, with affinities (expressed as the affinity Ki value) down to 1 nM, the 3-arylisoxazoloquinolin-4-ones are less potent. This is suggested to depend on sterical repulsive interaction of the 3-arylisoxazoloquinolin-4-ones with the receptor essential volume of the binding site, and a higher electron density at the nitrogen in the azole ring (N-2) as well as the carbonyl oxygen in the isothiazoloquinolin-4-ones enabling them to interact stronger with hydrogen bond donor sites at the binding site.
