Electrochemical Study on the Interaction Between Neutral Red and DNA

A voltammetric study of the interaction of neutral Red(NR) with DNA at a gold electrode in a phosphate buffer solution is described. After adding DNA in an NR solution, the reduction peak current of NR decreases. The binding mechahisms of NR to DNA in different pH ranges are different. The reduction peak potential of NR in a pH 7.0 phosphate buffer solution in the presence of DNA shifts positively, indicating that the binding of NR to DNA is intercalation action, but at pH=6.0 the reduction peak potential of NR shifts negatively, indicating that the binding of NR to DNA is electrostatic action. The formed complexes are DNA-NR when [NR]/[DNA]<0.18 and DNA-3NR when [NR]/[DNA]>0.35, respectively.

Electrochemical Determination of Alkaline Phosphatase in Human Serum by Differential Pulse Voltammetry

Differential pulse voltammetry(DPV) was applied to the determination of alkaline phosphatase(ALP) activity in human serum with phenyl phosphate as the substrate. Phenyl phosphate can enzymatically be hydrolyzed to produce phenol which is quantified by DPV at +660 mV(vs.Ag/AgCl) in the concentration range of 2.0_100 μmol/L. The standard curve for ALP is linear over the range from 0.06 to 1000 U/L with a relative standard deviation of 3.0%. The conditions for the enzymatic reaction and voltammetric detection were optimized and the kinetic constants were also examined.The human serum samples were tested by this method and the results were in good agreement with those obtained by the routine p-nitrophenyl phosphate spectrophotometric method.

Studies on Synthesis and Biological Activities of Novel Triazole Compounds Containing Pyrimidine or N,N-Dialkyldithiocarbamate Ring

Twelve of the title compounds were synthesized. Their structures were identified by means of IR, EA, 1H NMR and MS. The IR spectra clearly show that the absorptions in the regions of 1716-1666 cm -1 and 1505-1499 cm -1 are the characteristic absorption bands for ν C=O and ν C=N . In the 1H NMR spectra of target compounds(10a-10g), three protons of a \{\}CH-CH 2- group present three sets of quartet peaks of the protons. The preliminary bioassays showed that the synthesized compounds exhibited some activities of fungicides and plant growth regulators.

Studies on Syntheses and Biological Activities of Novel Triazole Compounds Containing Phosphorodithioate Groups

Sixteen new triazole organic phosphorus compounds were synthesized. Their structures were confirmed with IR, 1H NMR, elemental analysis and MS. The primary biological tests show that the titled compounds have the fungicidal activities, which are influenced by R groups and the substituents attached to the P atom.

Studies on Synthesis and Biological Activities of Novel Triazole compounds Containing Thiophene Groups

Fifteen new triazole compounds containing thiophene groups were synthesized and their structures were confirmed by means of 1H NMR, IR, MS spectroscopies and elemental analyses. The preliminary biological tests show that the titled compounds exhibit some activities of fungicides and plant growth regulators.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of O-Ethyl-N- (2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-xylopyranosyl)-thiocarbamate

The crystal and molecular structures of O-ethyl-N-(2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-xylopyranosyl)-thiocarbamate were determined by X-ray crystallography. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic system with space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), lattice parameters a=0.90636(18) nm, b=0.94716(19) nm, c=2.1855(4) nm, V=1.8762(7) nm 3, and Z=4. All the substituents are in equatorial positions. There are four intramolecular interactions, each forming a five-membered ring. The molecules are linked by interactions to form three-dimensional framework. Atoms O6 and O8 show positional disorder.
