Allsuch parameters were also studied with a known standard drug bleomycin at the dose of 0.3 mg/kg(i.p.).Results:Among the doses studied, 10 mg/kg(i.p.) was found to be quite comparable in potency to that of bleomycin at the dose of 0.3 mg/kg(i.p.). The host toxic effects of VSC was found to be negligible.Conclusions:It can be concluded that VSC can therefore be considered as potent anticancer agent.展开更多

In this work, we put forward that the fabrication of host-guest system can be an effective way to obtain UV blocking materials. Firstly, a new anionic Schiff base, N,N'bis(salicylidine)-4,4'-diaminostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (SDSD), has been synthesized, which was intercalated into Zn-Al-LDH by anion-exchange method. FT-IR and XRD illustrate the layered organic-inorganic composite, Zn-Al-SDSD-LDH, has been successfully synthesized with high crystallinity. Laser particle size analyzer, SEM and TEM show that particle size distributions of Zn-Al-SDSD-LDH is in the range 100--500 nm. UV-vis absorption spectra show that Zn-Al-SDSD-LDH has better UV absorption than the pristine Zn-Al-LDH and SDSD. Furthermore, the mixture of asphalt and 3 wt% Zn-Al-SDSD-LDH presents enhanced UV blocking property relative to the pristine asphalt after irradiating by UV spray accelerated weathering test. Therefore, this work not only develops a new type of host-guest Zn-Al-SDSD- LDH, but also confirms it can be an effective asphalt UV blocking material for practical application.展开更多

Its sensing behavior toward various metal ions was investigated by fluorescence and UV-Vis spectroscopic methods. The fluorescence of the sensor was quenched and the color rapidly changed from canary yellow to brown after the addition of Cu2+, while no changes occurred after the addition of other metal ions, which contributes to the detection of Cu2+ with naked eyes. The fluorescence quantum yield of the ligand was calculated to be 0.52. The corresponding detection limit of Cu2+ was 5.721 × 10-7 mol/L, and the 1:1 binding mode of the sensor with Cu2+ was revealed by Job's plot.展开更多

The synthesized Schiff bases were characterized by using elemental analyses, FT-IR, UV-Vis, Mass, 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. The antimicrobial activity of the synthesized Schiff bases was investigated against 12 bacterial strains(Mycobacterium smegmatis, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae, Klebsiella oxytoca, Proteus vulgaris, Enterobacter aerogenes, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), and antifungal activities were tested against seven fungal strains(Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus carbonarious, Aspergillus parasiticus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger, Fusarium verticillioides and Fusarium proliferatum). The antimicrobial activities of the synthesized compounds were compared with standard streptomycin and nalidixic acid. The results obtained from antibacterial assay indicated that M1–M12 inhibited potential growth of Proteus vulgaris with minimum inhibitory concentrations(MICs) ranging from 15.6–250 μg/mL compared with the standard nalidixic acid with an MIC of 500 μg/mL. Moreover, we could conclude that most of the tested compounds experienced mild to low activities at 15.6 μg/mL. Their activities could be attributed to their low concentration s. The antifungal analysis showed that the tested fungi were not sensitive to the prepared Schiff bases at the prepared concentration of 500 μg/mL. Therefore, we recommended further analysis on both cytotoxicity and minimum bactericidal concentration(MBC) to ascertain their potential effects against human cells.展开更多

Furthermore, the mixture of asphalt and 3 wt% Zn-Al-SDSD-LDH presents enhanced UV blocking property relative to the pristine asphalt after irradiating by UV spray accelerated weathering test. Therefore, this work not only develops a new type of host-guest Zn-Al-SDSD- LDH, but also confirms it can be an effective asphalt UV blocking material for practical application.

文摘A series of N-(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-(3/4/5-substituted)-salicylaldimines (I--XI) were synthesized using appropriate synthetic route. Their structures were characterized by FT-IR, UV-Visible, ESI-MS, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic techniques and analytical methods. The crystal structure of N-(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-5-bromo- salicylaldimine (V) was determined by X-ray diffraction at room temperature. Relationship between the melting points and the structures of the compounds was examined. Antimicrobial activity of the compounds was evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis. Antifungal activities were reported for Candida albicans. Schiff bases showed considerable antimicrobial activity against S. aureus, S, epidermidis and C. albicans. N-(5-Chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-hydroxy-salieylaldimine (II) has the broadest and highest antimicrobial activity according to the others.
文摘A series of novel thiazole Schiff base derivatives containing benzo[d][1,3]dioxole moiety was designed, synthesized and screened for their fungicidal activities. The preliminary results demonstrated that compounds 6p, 6q and 6r possessed potent activities against Phytophthora infestans, Pyricularia oryzae and Septoria tritici in vitro. Compounds 6d and 6r exhibited remarkable activities against Botrytis cinerea(whole plant) and Phytophthora in- festans(leaf disk) respectively in vivo, which were identified as the most promising candidates for further study and could be used as possible lead compounds for developing new fungicides.

文摘Various compounds of 4-aminoantipyrine Schiff bases(M1–M12) were synthesized via a condensation reaction of 4-aminoantipyrine with different benzaldehydes through a conventional method of refluxing the mixture for 3–4 h. The synthesized Schiff bases were characterized by using elemental analyses, FT-IR, UV-Vis, Mass, 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. The antimicrobial activity of the synthesized Schiff bases was investigated against 12 bacterial strains(Mycobacterium smegmatis, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae, Klebsiella oxytoca, Proteus vulgaris, Enterobacter aerogenes, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), and antifungal activities were tested against seven fungal strains(Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus carbonarious, Aspergillus parasiticus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger, Fusarium verticillioides and Fusarium proliferatum). The antimicrobial activities of the synthesized compounds were compared with standard streptomycin and nalidixic acid. The results obtained from antibacterial assay indicated that M1–M12 inhibited potential growth of Proteus vulgaris with minimum inhibitory concentrations(MICs) ranging from 15.6–250 μg/mL compared with the standard nalidixic acid with an MIC of 500 μg/mL. Moreover, we could conclude that most of the tested compounds experienced mild to low activities at 15.6 μg/mL. Their activities could be attributed to their low concentration s. The antifungal analysis showed that the tested fungi were not sensitive to the prepared Schiff bases at the prepared concentration of 500 μg/mL. Therefore, we recommended further analysis on both cytotoxicity and minimum bactericidal concentration(MBC) to ascertain their potential effects against human cells.
