Removal of 5-Amino-2-chlorotoluene-4-sulfonic and Chlorhydric Acids from Wastewater by Weakly Basic Resin

This research deals with an investigation of the adsorption of two acids, namely, 5-amino- 2-chlorotoluene-4-sulfonic and chlorhydric acids from their solution onto weakly basic resin. The screening of res-ins, kinetics, and isotherm were studied. The results indicate that the D301R is more appropriate for the removal of acids from solution. The adsorption of acids obeys Langmuir isotherm and the first-order kinetics model. Sorptive affinity of the two acids on D301R was found to be in the order of 5-amino-2-chlorotoluene-4-sulfonic acid> chlorhydric acid. Thermodynamic parameters for the adsorption of acids were calculated and discussed. The maxi-mum removal of acids was observed around 97% and 76% at 25℃ for 5-amino-2-chlorotoluene-4-sulfonic acid and chlorhydric acid , respectively.

5-Amino-4-oxopentanoic acid photodynamic diagnosis guided microsurgery and photodynamic therapy on VX2 brain tumour implanted in a rabbit model

Background Complete tumour resection is important for improving the prognosis of brain tumour patients. However, extensive resection remains controversial because the tumour margin is difficult to be distinguished from surrounding brain tissue. It has been established that 5-amino-4-0xopentanoic acid （5-aminolevulinic acid, ALA） can be used as a photodynamic diagnostic marker and a photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy in surgical treatment of brain tumours. We investigated the efficacy of ALA photodynamically guided microsurgery and photodynamic therapy on VX2 brain tumour implanted in a rabbit model. Methods Eighty New Zealand rabbits implanted with VX2 brain tumours were randomly assigned to five groups： control, conventional white light microsurgery, a photodynamic therapy group, a photodynamically guided microsurgery group and a group in which guided microsurgery was followed by photodynamic therapy. The VX2 tumour was resected under a surgical microscope. The tumour resection was confirmed with histological analysis. All animals were examined with MRI for presence of any residual tumour tissue. The survival time of each rabbit was recorded. Results All treatment groups showed a significantly extended survival time compared with the control group. Photodynamically guided microsurgery combined with photodynamic therapy significantly prolonged survival time, compared with guided microsurgery alone. MRI and the autopsy results confirmed removal of most of the tumours. Conclusions Our results suggest that photodynamically guided surgery and photodynamic therapy significantly reduce or delay local recurrence, increase the effectiveness of radical resection and prolong the survival time of tumour bearing rabbits. Their combination has the potential to be used as a rapid and highly effective treatment of metastatic brain tumours.

Improvement in the synthesis of 2-(5-amino-1,2,4-thiadiazol-3- yl)-2-(Z)-methoxyiminoacetic acid 2-benzothiazolyl thioester

2-(5-Amino-1,2,4-thiadiazol-3-yl)-2-(Z)-meth-oxyiminoacetic acid 2-benzothiazolyl thioester(III),an important intermediate of the fourth generation cephalos-porins,was efficiently synthesized by reacting 2-(5-amino-1,2,4-thiadiazol-3-yl)-2-(Z)-methoxyiminoacetic acid(I)with 2,29-dibenzothiazole disulfide(II)in the presence of triphenylphosphine.Effects of reaction time,temperature,solvents,catalysts and feeding molar ratio on the yield and quality of products were investigated,and an im-proved procedure suitable for industrial production was established.Using 1,2-dichloroethane as solvent,triphe-nylphosphine as reducer,and triethylamine as catalyst,n(I):n(II):n(triphenylphosphine)51.0:1.0:1.0,the product was obtained at room temperature in 98.1%yield.The purity of the product without further purification is 98.7%determined by HPLC method.This procedure could be a suitable alternative to the traditional processes because of its easy handling,high yield and low cost.
