Two soluble isomerized polyimides(PIs) synthesized from 2,2'-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane dianhydride(6FDA) with either 2,2'-dimethylbenzidine(2,2'-DMB) or 3,3'-DMB were investigated by means ...Two soluble isomerized polyimides(PIs) synthesized from 2,2'-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane dianhydride(6FDA) with either 2,2'-dimethylbenzidine(2,2'-DMB) or 3,3'-DMB were investigated by means of size-exclusion chromatography coupled with multi-angle laser light scattering,a viscometer and a refractive index detector in tetrahydrofuran(THF) with tetrabutylammonium bromide(TBAB) at 35 ℃.The corresponding parameters related to conformations α and ν,evaluated from the scaling relationships [η]=K η M α and R g =K g M ν,respectively,were 0.66±0.01 and 0.55±0.02 for poly(6FDA/3,3'-DMB),and 0.67±0.01 and 0.56±0.01 for poly(6FDA/2,2'-DMB),indicating a random coil conformation for both the samples in this mobile system.The persistence length l p and shift factor M L(relative molecular weight per unit contour length) were estimated from the relationship between intrinsic viscosity and molecular weight for the wormlike cylinder model proposed by Bohdanecky.Both l p and M L showed that the two PIs in THF are flexible chains and exhibit some local rigidity to some extent.展开更多

The PDT efficiency is influenced by the concentration and incubation time. Generally, for ALA and its alkylester methanesulfonates, the cell survival rate decreases and the accumulation ability of PplX increases with the concentration and incubation time. We found that the longer carbon chain methanesulfonates(C5-S, C6-S, C8-S) exhibit better PDT effect than ALA methanesulfonate. This possibly provides a promising route to the clinical application ofPplX-mediated PDT to cancer cell.展开更多
With methyl ester of N-acylated L-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)alanine(L-DOPA) as starting material, racemic derivatives of 3-hydroxymethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline were obtained with cyclization by Bischler-Napie...With methyl ester of N-acylated L-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)alanine(L-DOPA) as starting material, racemic derivatives of 3-hydroxymethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline were obtained with cyclization by Bischler-Napie- ralski(BN) reaction followed by reduction of methyl ester group to hydroxymethyl, while the optical pure enantiomers were prepared by the reduction of the methyl ester group to hydroxymethyl prior to cyclization with BN reaction. Racemerization took place in the BN stage in the presence of methyl ester, an electron-withdrawing group adjacent to chiral center. Therefore, the sequence of synthetic stages of cyclization and reduction, and subsequently whether there is electron-withdrawing group or not determines the chiral optical activity of the products.展开更多

The scaling relationships of [t/]=K^M~ and Rg=KgMv obtained are employed to in- vestigate the temperature dependence of chain conformation for the two polyimides. The values of a and v are in the range of 0.66--0.69 and 0.53--0.56, respectively, for poly(6FDA/3,3'-DMB), meanwhile they are in the range of 0.64--0.68 and 0.53--0.56, respectively, for poly(6FDAJ2,2'-DMB). These results reveal that random coil conforma- tions for both Pls are not affected visibly with increasing temperature from 30 ~C to 50 ~C. However, values of more exact intrinsic viscosity from dilute solution measurement indicate there is only tiny coil extension or shrinkage for both PIs with temperature rising. Parameters related to chain flexibility of polymer, including persistence length lp, shift factor ME(relative molecular weight per unit contour length) and backbone diameter d are estimated from the relationship between intrinsic viscosity and molecular weight for the continuous wormlike cylinder model, which indicates that two samples are flexible chains, only the chain of poly(6FDA/3,3'-DMB) is stiffer than that of poly(6FDA/2,2'-DMB) slightly.展开更多
