The results show that the kinetic model function in differential forms, the apparent activation energy(E a) and the pre-exponential factor(A) of the major exothermic decomposition reaction are 3(1-α)[-ln(1-α)] 2/3, 190.56 kJ/mol and 10 13.39 s -1, respectively. The critical temperature of thermal explosion of the compound is 353.08 ℃. The kinetic equation of the major exothermic decomposition process of the title compound at 0.1 MPa could be expressed as dα/dT=10 14.65(1-α)[-ln(1-α)] 2/3 e -2.2920×104/T. As an auxiliary catalyzer, the title compound can help the main catalyzer of lead salt of 4-hydroxy-3,5-dinitropyridine to accelerate the burning rate and reduce the pressure exponent of RDX-CMDB propellant.

Alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor antagonist inhibits apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells in a rabbit model of optic nerve injury

A rabbit model of traumatic optic nerve injury, established by occlusion of the optic nerve using a vascular clamp, was used to investigate the effects of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor antagonist GYKI 52466 on apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells following nerve injury. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and a terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay showed that retinal ganglion cells gradually decreased with increasing time of optic nerve injury, while GYKI 52466 could inhibit this process. The results demonstrate that following acute optic nerve injury, apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells is a programmed process, which can be inhibited by the alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor antagonist.

Determination of trans-4-hydroxy-2-alkenals in thermally treated soybean oil by SPE-HPLC

Trans-4-hydroxy-2-hexenal(4-HHE) and trans-4-hydroxy-2-nonenal(4-HNE) are secondary lipid peroxidation products in edible oils, which are cytotoxic and genotoxic. They could covalently bind with protein, phospholipids and DNA, further disrupting the normal function of liver, lung and brain.Derivation process was generally conducted during pretreatment before detection and quantification of 4-HHE and 4-HNE. However, the derivation procedures were time consuming and chemical degradation may occur during the process. Hence, this paper aims to establish a simple solid phase extractionhigh performance liquid chromatography(SPE-HPLC) method to determine the 4-HHE and 4-HNE contents in thermally treated soybean oil. C18 solid phase extraction was applied in the pretreatment process. Firstly, the reliability of the method was evaluated. Good linearity was observed in the range of 0.1–0.5 μg/m L and 0.5–10 μg/m L for 4-HHE and 4-HNE. The limit of detection(LOD) of 4-HHE and 4-HNE were 0.0486 and 0.0129 μg/m L, respectively. And the limit of quantitation(LOQ) of4-HHE and 4-HNE were 0.1458 and 0.0431 μg/m L, respectively. Recovery rate were in the range of89.11%–91.58% and 71.83%–79.40% for 4-HHE and 4-HNE, respectively. The method achieved the extraction, purification and detection of 4-HHE and 4-HNE simultaneously and had the advantages of simple operation, effectiveness, high precision, good repeatability. Then, the method was applied to monitor the concentrations of 4-HHE and 4-HNE in soybean oil heated at 180 °C for 40 h. The contents of 4-HHE and 4-HNE were 0–0.32 μg/g and 0–6.97 μg/g, respectively, which provided guidance for evaluating health risks of thermally treated soybean oil during heating.

Catalytic Dehydration of 4-Hydroxy-3-hexanone to 4-Hexen-3-one over HZSM-5 Zeolite

A study on catalytic dehydration of 4-hydroxy-3-hexanone （HH） to 4-hexen-3-one （HO） was carried out through conversion of HH over HZSM-5 zeolite catalyst in a fixed-bed reactor （FBR） operating under almospheric pressure. The test indicated a relatively high activity of the HZSM-5 zeolite capable of achieving a HH conversion of 99.2% and a HO yield of 83.5%. Catalyst deactivation could be prevented by increasing the reaction temperature by 10 ＂C for every 20 h and adding 2.0% of piperidine in the feed. A catalyst stability test （for 100 h） in FBR showed that the catalyst was active even after 100 h of time-on-stream with HH conversion remaining at 99.2% and HO yield still reaching over 83.5%. Regenera- tion experiment showed that the regenerated catalyst demonstrated a catalytic performance comparable to the fresh one.

Highly efficient synthesis of(R)-1,3-butanediol via anti-Prelog reduction of 4-hydroxy-2-butanone with absolute stereoselectivity by a newly isolated Pichia kudriavzevii

(R)-1,3-butanediol is an important pharmaceutical intermediate, and the synthesis of(R)-1,3-butanediol using green biological methods has recently been of interest for industrial application. Here, a novel strain QC-1 that efficiently transforms 4-hydroxy-2-butanone to(R)-1,3-butanediol was isolated from soil samples. Based on morphological, physiological, and biochemical tests and 5.8 S-internal transcribed spacer sequencing, the strain was identified as Pichia kudriavzevii QC-1. The reaction conditions were optimized to 35 ℃, pH 8.0, rotation speed 200 rpm, and 6:5 mass ratio of glucose to 4-hydroxy-2-butanone. Evaluation of the effects of 4-hydroxy-2-butanone concentrations on yield and cell survival rate showed that 85.60 g·L^-1 product accumulated, with an enantiomeric excess of more than 99%, when 30 g·L^-14-hydroxy-2-butanone was added at 0, 10, and 30 h in a 3-L bioreactor. Thus, strain QC-1 showed excellent catalytic activity and stereoselectivity for the synthesis of(R)-1,3-butanediol from 4-hydroxy-2-butanone.

The new antioxidant 1-benzoyl-6-hydroxy-2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2- dihydroquinoline has a protective effect against carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic injury in rats

Liver diseases with the central pathogenetic mechanism of oxidative stress are one of the main causes of mortality worldwide.Therefore,dihydroquinoline derivatives,which are precursors of hepatoprotectors and have antioxidant activity,are of interest.We have previously found that some compounds in this class have the ability to normalize redox homeostasis under experimental conditions.Here,we initially analyzed the hepatoprotective potential of the dihydroquinoline derivative 1-benzoyl-6-hydroxy-2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline(BHDQ)for carbon tetrachloride(CCl4)-induced liver injury in rats.Results suggested that BHDQ normalized the alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase,and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase in serum.We also observed an improvement in liver tissue morphology related to BHDQ.Animals with CCl4-induced liver injuries treated with BHDQ had less oxidative stress compared to animals with CCl4-induced liver injury.BHDQ promoted activation changes in superoxide dismutase,catalase,glutathione peroxidase,glutathione reductase,and glutathione transferase on control values in animals with CCl4-induced liver injury.BHDQ also activated gene transcription in Sod1 and Gpx1 via nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 and forkhead box protein O1 factors.Therefore,the compound of concern has a hepatoprotective effect by inhibiting the development of necrotic processes in the liver tissue,through antioxidation.

Formation of (2E)-4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal and (2E)-4-Hydroxy-2-hexenal by Plant Enzymes: A Review Suggests a Role in the Physiology of Plants

It is demonstrated that (3Z)-nonenal (NON) and (3Z)-hexenal (HEX) are oxidized in a cascade by lipoxygenase (LOX) and hydroperoxide peroxygenase (HP peroxygenase) into (2E)-4-hydroxy-2- nonenal (HNE) and (2E)-4-hydroxy-2-hexenal (HHE), respectively. In turn, HNE inactivates LOX terminating the cascade. The hydroxy-alkenals produced serve to inhibit plant pathogens, which initiated the cascade. In addition to LOX, other unknown oxygenases may be involved in the cascade.
