Biocompatibility and Antibacterial Effects of 6-Deoxy-6-Aminoethyleneamino Cellulose

Recently, there is a need of alternatives to antibiotics due to increasing antibiotic-resistant microorganism. Promising classes of bioactive polymers are 6-deoxy-6-amino cellulose derivatives. The purpose of the study was the assessment of the biocompatibility of 6-deoxy-6-aminoethyleneamino cellulose (AEAC) with different degree of substitution (DS). HaCaT keratinocyte cell viability was analyzed by measuring the cellular ATP content. The antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae was examined by microplate laser nephelometry. Thus, the ratio of half-maximal lethal concentration (LC50) and half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) was calculated and described as biocompatibility index. The study revealed that biocompatibility of AEAC depends on the DS. AEAC of low DS (0.3) showed the best biocompatibility.

Asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-1-deoxy-6-epi-castanospermine

(+)-l-Deoxy-6-epi-castanospermine was asymmetrically synthesized in ten steps from a-furfuryl amine derivative 6 in 2.9% overall yield. The kinetic resolution of a-furfuryl mine derivative 6 and Sharpless AD reaction of 14 were used as key steps.

披针叶茴香果实的化学成分研究

目的研究八角科（Illiciaceae）植物披针叶茴香（Illicium lanceolatum）果实的化学成分。方法应用硅胶、Sephadex LH-20、MCI等各种色谱技术进行分离纯化，根据化合物的理化常数和波谱数据鉴定其结构。结果从披针叶茴香果实的体积分数95％乙醇提取物中分离得到12个化合物，通过渡谱数据和理化常数分别鉴定为2，4-dihydroxy—allylbenzene-2-O-β-D—glucopyranoside（1），（＋）-儿茶素（2），槲皮素-3-O-β-L-鼠李糖苷（3），芦丁（4），异鼠李素-3-D-β-D-芸香糖苷（5），6-deoxy-1-hy—droxy neoanisatin（6），莽草毒素（7），icarisideE3（8），（75，8R）-urolignoside（9），对羟基苯甲酸（10），莽草酸（11），β-谷甾醇（12）。结论化合物1，4～6，8～10为首次从该植物中分离得到。
