Assessment of electrostatic discharge sensitivity of nitrogen-rich heterocyclic energetic compounds and their salts as high energy-density dangerous compounds:A study of structural variables

Nitrogen-rich heterocyclic energetic compounds(NRHECs)and their salts have witnessed widespread synthesis in recent years.The substantial energy-density content within these compounds can lead to potentially dangerous explosive reactions when subjected to external stimuli such as electrical discharge.Therefore,developing a reliable model for predicting their electrostatic discharge sensitivity(ESD)becomes imperative.This study proposes a novel and straightforward model based on the presence of specific groups(-NH_(2) or-NH-,-N=N^(+)-O^(-)and-NNO_(2),-ONO_(2) or-NO_(2))under certain conditions to assess the ESD of NRHECs and their salts,employing interpretable structural parameters.Utilizing a comprehensive dataset comprising 54 ESD measurements of NRHECs and their salts,divided into 49/5 training/test sets,the model achieves promising results.The Root Mean Square Error(RMSE),Mean Absolute Error(MAE),and Maximum Error for the training set are reported as 0.16 J,0.12 J,and 0.5 J,respectively.Notably,the ratios RMSE(training)/RMSE(test),MAE(training)/MAE(test),and Max Error(training)/Max Error(test)are all greater than 1.0,indicating the robust predictive capabilities of the model.The presented model demonstrates its efficacy in providing a reliable assessment of ESD for the targeted NRHECs and their salts,without the need for intricate computer codes or expert involvement.

The role of flavonoids in mitigating food originated heterocyclic aromatic amines that concerns human wellness

Meat products are an important part in our daily diet,providing valuable nutrients for the human body.However,heating processes cause the meat to become more appetizing with changes in texture,appearance,flavor,and chemical properties by the altering of protein structure and other ingredients.As one kind of cooking-induced contaminants,heterocyclic aromatic amines(HAAs)are widely present in protein aceous food products with strong carcinogenic and mutagenic properties.In order to promote the safety of traditional meat products,this review focused on the formation,metabolism,biological monitoring and inhibitory mechanism of HAA.An overview of the formation pathways,hazards,and control methods of HAAs during food processing in recent years was studied,aiming to provide some valuable information for exploring effective methods to inhibit the production of associated hazards during food processing.Systematic selection of different types of flavonoids to explore their effects on the formation of HAAs in an actual barbecue system can provide theoretical reference for effectively controlling the formation of HAAs and reducing their harm to human health.

The integration of dinitropyrazole and 1,3,4-oxadiazole:A novel hybrid heterocyclic skeleton for balancing energy and stability

In this study,a new energetic hybrid skeleton was constructed through the integration of nitropyrazole and 1,3,4-oxadiazole skeletons in a molecule.Furthermore,the energetic precursor(2),the azo-bridged compound(3),the neutral nitramine(4)and the corresponding energetic salts(5-7)were synthesized.Their physicochemical and energetic properties we re experimentally and theo retically evaluated.Among the developed compounds,the azo-bridged compound(3)and dihydroxylammoinium(6)display high detonation performances(3,D_(v)=8904 m/s,P=34.47 GPa;6,D_(v)=9025 m/s,P=34.66 GPa),moderate sensitivities(3,IS=16 J,FS=120 N;6,IS=20 J,FS=312 N)and good densities(3,1.87 g/cm^(3);6,1.81 g/cm^(3)),which indicates that they have the potential to replace the traditional high-energy explosive RDX.The results show that the integration of different energetic skeletons can achieve a good balance between energy and sensitivity.

Malaria parasite carbonic anhydrase:inhibition of aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides and its therapeutic potential

Plasmodium falciparum(P.falciparum) is responsible for the majority of life-threatening cases of human malaria,causing 1.5-2.7 million annual deaths.The global emergence of drug-resistant malaria parasites necessitates identification and characterisation of novel drug targets and their potential inhibitors.We identified the carbonic anhydrase(CA) genes in P.falciparum.The pfGA gene encodes an α-carbonic anhydrase,a Zn^(2+)-metalloenzme,possessing catalytic properties distinct from that of the human host CA enzyme.The amino acid sequence of the pfCA enzyme is different from the analogous protozoan and human enzymes.A library of aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides possessing a large diversity of scaffolds were found to be very good inhibitors for the malarial enzyme at moderate-low micromolar and submicromolar inhibitions.The structure of the groups substituting the aromatic-ureido-or aromatic-azomethine fragment of the molecule and the length of the parent sulfonamide were critical parameters for the inhibitory properties of the sulfonamides.One derivative,that is,4-(3,4-dichlorophenylureido)thioureidobcnzcnesulfonamide(compound 10) was the most effective in vitro Plasmodium falciparum CA inhibitor,and was also the most effective antimalarial compound on the in vitro P.falciparum growth inhibition.The compound 10 was also effective in vivo antimalarial agent in mice infected with Plasmodium berghei,an animal model of drug testing for human malaria infection. It is therefore concluded that the sulphonamide inhibitors targeting the parasite CA may have potential for the development of novel therapies against human malaria.

Comparison of the Ability of Myricetin and Quercetin to Modulate the Oxidative DNA Damage Induced by Heterocyclic Amines

The aim of the present study was to compare the ability of the myricetin and quercetin to modulate the oxidative DNA damage induced by 2-amino-3, 8- dimethylimidazo [4,5-f] quinoxaline (8-MeIQx), 2-amino- 3, 4, 8- trimethylimidazo [4, 5-f]-quinoxaline (4,8-diMeIQx) and 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenyl-imidazo [4,5-b] pyridine (PhIP), in human hepatoma cells. DNA damage (strand breaks and oxidized purines/pyrimidines) was evaluated by the alkaline single-cell gel electrophoresis or comet assay. None of the myricetin and quercetin concentrations tested protected against 8-MeIQx, 4, 8-diMeIQx and PhIP-induced DNA strand breaks. The oxidized pyrimidines induced by 4, 8-diMeIQx and PhIP were reduced by myricetin but not by quercetin. Quercetin reduced the oxidized purines induced by 8-MeIQx and PhIP, while myricetin also reduced the induced by 4, 8-diMeIQx. One feasible mechanism by which myricetin and quercetin exert their protective effect towards HCAs-induced oxidative DNA could be related in part to the reduction of human CYP1A1. Another mechanism claimed to be responsible for the protective effect of myricetin and quercetin is the induction of phase II metabolizing enzymes such as UDP-glucuronyltrasferase (UGT). The ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation (CYP1A1) activity was moderately inhibited by myricetin, while little effect was observed by quercetin. On the contrary, quercetin showed the greatest increase on UDP-glucuronyltransferase activity. However, these are not the only mechanisms by which myricetin and quercetin exert their protective effect, other mechanisms such as stimulation of the repair of carcinogen-induced DNA damage and or the free radical scavenging efficiency have been also implicated. In conclusion, our results clearly indicate that myricetin was more efficient than quercetin to prevent DNA damage (oxidized purines and pyrimidines) induced by the three HCAs evaluated. This protective effect depends on the chemical structure of flavonoid and the mutagen studied.

Hydrolysis of New Transplatin Analogue Containing One Aliphatic and One Planar Heterocyclic Amine Ligand： A Density Functional Theory Study

Herein we give a theoretical study of the hydrolysis processes of a novel anticancer drug trans-[PtCl2（3-pico）（ipa）] （3-pico=3-methylpyridine, ipa=isopropylamine）. Two different models, model 1 relative to isolated reactant/product （R/P, wherein R=platinum complex＋H2O, P=platinum complex＋Cl^-） and model 2 relative to reactant complex/product complex （RC/PC, wherein RC=（platinum complex）（H2O）, PC=（platinum complex）（CI^-） are employed and the geometric structures are optimized at the B3LYP level of DFT method. It is found that the processes of the reactions follow the established theory for ligand substitution in square planar complexes; the geometries of the transition states （TS） agree with the previous related work and all of the reactions are endothermic. The effects originating from the inclusion of the attacking water/released chloride into the second coordination shell of platinum in RC/PC play an important role in the thermodynamic and kinetic profiles of the reactions, that is, the barrier heights of the reactions of model 2 are increased by -26.3 and -23.8 kJ/mol for step1 and step2 respectively, and the endothermicity is considerably decreased by -420.5 and -771.2 kJ/mol compared to model 1 in the gas phase. The consideration of the bulk solvation effects increase the barrier heights for both steps of model 1 by -27.6 and -6.7 kJ/mol respectively, whereas it reduces the barrier heights by -7.9 and -29.3 kJ/mol for model 2. The reaction energies are all decreased, especially for model i, indicating more stable complexes solvated in the bulk aqueous solution than in the gas phase. Additionally, to get an accurate energy picture of the title complex, the relative free energies derived from the DFT-SCRF （density functional theory self-consistent field） calculations are compared with the relative total energies. The results are that activation energies rise for the first hydrolysis and fall for the second hydrolysis for all the systems, and for all the systems, the barrier height of the second hydrolysis is always higher than that of the first step. The rate constants indicate that transplatin analogue is kinetically comparable to cisplatin and its analogue in the hydrolysis process.
