Effects of potassium lactate on sensory attributes,bacterial community succession and biogenic amines formation in Rugao ham

To deepen the understanding in the effect of potassium lactate on the sensory quality and safety of Rugao ham,sensory attributes,physicochemical parameters,total volatile basic nitrogen(TVBN),microorganism community and biogenic amines of Rugao ham manufactured with different potassium lactate levels(0%,0.5%,1%,2%)were investigated;the relationship between microbial community and the formation of TVBN and biogenic amines was further evaluated.With the increase of potassium lactate from 0%to 2%,the increased sensory scores and the decreased total aerobic bacterial count and TVBN were observed;the abundance of Staphylococcus increased,while the content of Halomonas decreased.LDA effect size(LEf Se)and correlations analysis showed that Staphylococcus equorum and Lactobacillus fermentum could be the key species to improve sensory scores and decrease biogenic amines and TVBN.Metabolic pathway analysis further showed that amino acids metabolism and nitrogen metabolism were mainly involved in decreasing TVBN and biogenic amines in the treatment of 2%potassium lactate.

One-pot Synthesis of MoO_(3)/PI Composite with Enhanced Photocatalytic Performance for Oxidative Coupling of Amines to Imines

Organic-inorganic MoO_(3)/PI(MoPI)composites were prepared using a simple one-pot thermal copolymerization method.The resulting composites exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity for the selective oxidation of benzylamine to N-benzylidene benzylamine(N-BDBA)in ambient air under simulated solar light irradiation compared to pristine MoO_(3) or polyimide(PI).In particular,the MoPI composite with a 0.3:1 molar ratio of Mo to melamine,referred to as MoPI-0.3,demonstrated the best performance in the photo-oxidation of benzylamine,achieving a benzylamine conversion of 95%with a N-BDBA selectivity exceeding 99%after 3 h irradiation.The enhanced photocatalytic activity of the MoPI-0.3 catalyst was attributed to the formation of a direct Z-scheme heterojunction between MoO_(3) and PI,facilitating more efficient separation of the photoinduced electrons and holes.Additionally,the MoPI-0.3 composite maintained considerably high activity over four consecutive cycles,highlighting its good stability and recyclability.Furthermore,the MoPI-0.3 composite could photo-oxidize benzylamine derivatives and heterocyclic amines to their corresponding imines,demonstrating the universal applicability of this composite catalyst.

Achieving a superior Na storage performance of Fe-based Prussian blue cathode by coating perylene tetracarboxylic dianhydride amine

Fe-based Prussian blue(Fe-PB)cathode material shows great application potential in sodium(Na)-ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity,long cycle life,low cost,and simple preparation process.However,the crystalline water and vacancies of Fe-PB lattice,the low electrical conductivity,and the dissolution of metal ions lead to limited capacity and poor cycling stability.In this work,a perylene tetracarboxylic dianhydride amine(PTCDA)coating layer is successfully fabricated on the surface of Fe-PB by a liquid-phase method.The aminated PTCDA(PTCA)coating not only increases the specific surface area and electronic conductivity but also effectively reduces the crystalline water and vacancies,which avoids the erosion of Fe-PB by electrolyte.Consequently,the PTCA layer reduces the charge transfer resistance,enhances the Na-ion diffusion coefficient,and improves the structure stability.The PTCA-coated Fe-PB exhibits superior Na storage performance with a first discharge capacity of 145.2 mAh g^(−1) at 100 mA g^(−1).Long cycling tests exhibit minimal capacity decay of 0.027%per cycle over 1000 cycles at 1 A g^(−1).Therefore,this PTCA coating strategy has shown promising competence in enhancing the electrochemical performance of Fe-PB,which can potentially serve as a universal electrode coating strategy for Na-ion batteries.

The synthesis of new 4-imino-4H-chromeno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-3(5H)-amine in four steps including one step under microwave dielectric heating is reported. The structural identity of the synthesized compounds was established according to their spectroscopic analysis, such as FT-IR, NMR and mass spectroscopy. These new compounds were tested for their antiproliferative activities on seven representative human tumoral cell lines (Huh7 D12, Caco2, MDA-MB231, MDA-MB468, HCT116, PC3 and MCF7) and also on fibroblasts. Among them, only the compounds 6c showed micromolar cytotoxic activity on tumor cell lines (1.8 50 50 > 25 μM). Finally, in silico ADMET studies ware performed to investigate the possibility of using of the identified compound 6c as potential anti-tumor compound.

A Metal-free Polyimide Photocatalyst for the Oxidation of Amines to Imines

Polyimide(PI) is an organic polymer material with good stability and diverse sources that has attracted widespread attention in the field of photocatalysis. In this study, a series of PI photocatalysts were synthesized by a thermal polymerization approach using pyromellitic dianhydride(PMDA) and various diamine monomers(melamine(MA), 4,4′-oxydianiline, and melem) as the precursors as well as different heating rates. The effects of the diamine precursor and heating rate on the structure, composition, morphology, and optical properties of the as-prepared PI materials were systematically investigated by various characterization techniques. The selective photo-oxidation of benzylamine was used as a model reaction to evaluate the photocatalytic activities of the resulting PI samples for the oxidation of amines to imines. The results revealed that the PI sample prepared using MA and PMDA as the precursors and a heating rate of 7 ℃/min(MA-PI-7) exhibited the best catalytic performance, with 98% benzylamine conversion and 98% selectivity for N-benzylidene benzylamine after 4 h of irradiation. Several benzylamine derivatives and heterocyclic amines also underwent the photo-oxidation reaction over the MA-PI-7 catalyst to afford the corresponding imines with good activity. In addition, MA-PI-7 exhibited good stability over four successive photocatalytic cycles.

Efficient light-driven reductive amination of furfural to furfurylamine over ruthenium-cluster catalyst

Selective reductive amination of carbonyl compounds with high activity is very essential for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry,but scarcely successful paradigm was reported via efficient photocatalytic reactions.Herein,the ultrasmall Ru nanoclusters(~0.9 nm)were successfully fabricated over P25 support with positive charged Ru^(δ+)species at the interface.A new route was developed to achieve the furfural(FAL)to furfurylamine(FAM)by coupling the light-driven reductive amination and hydrogen transfer of ethanol over this type catalyst.Strikingly,the photocatalytic activity and selectivity are strongly dependent on the particle size and electronic structure of Ruthenium.The Ru^(δ+)species at the interface promote the formation of active imine intermediates;moreover,the Ru nanoclusters facilitate the separation efficiency of electrons and holes as well as accelerate the further hydrogenation of imine intermediates to product primary amines.In contrast Ru particles in larger nanometer size facilitate the formation of the furfuryl alcohol and excessive hydrogenation products.In addition,the coupling byproducts can be effectively inhibited via the construction of sub-nanocluster.This study offers a new path to produce the primary amines from biomass-derived carbonyl compounds over hybrid semiconductor/metal-clusters photocatalyst via light-driven tandem catalytic process.

Ultrasensitive quantification of trace amines based on N-phosphorylation labeling chip 2D LC-QQQ/MS

Trace amines(TAs)are metabolically related to catecholamine and associated with cancer and neurological disorders.Comprehensive measurement of TAs is essential for understanding pathological processes and providing proper drug intervention.However,the trace amounts and chemical instability of TAs challenge quantification.Here,diisopropyl phosphite coupled with chip two-dimensional(2D)liquid chromatography tandem triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry(LC-QQQ/MS)was developed to simultaneously determine TAs and associated metabolites.The results showed that the sensitivities of TAs increased up to 5520 times compared with those using nonderivatized LC-QQQ/MS.This sensitive method was utilized to investigate their alterations in hepatoma cells after treatment with sorafenib.The significantly altered TAs and associated metabolites suggested that phenylalanine and tyrosine metabolic pathways were related to sorafenib treatment in Hep3B cells.This sensitive method has great potential to elucidate the mechanism and diagnose diseases considering that an increasing number of physiological functions of TAs have been discovered in recent decades.

Amine-functionalized mesoporous UiO-66 aerogel for CO_(2) adsorption

A mesoporous UiO-66-NH_(2) aerogel is prepared via a straightforward sol-gel method without using any binders or mechanical pressures, in which the amine groups are directly introduced into the matrix by using 2-aminoterephthalic acid. The novel UiO-66-NH_(2) aerogel also exhibits high specific surface area and mesopore-dominated structure, implying its highly potential use in CO_(2) adsorption. For ulteriorly investigating the effect of amine loading on the CO_(2) adsorption ability, a series of UiO-66-NH_(2) aerogel with different amino content is fabricated by changing the ligand/metal molar ratio. When the molar ratio is 1.45, the CO_(2) adsorption capacity reaches the optimum value of 2.13 mmol·g^(-1) at 25 ℃ and 0.1 MPa, which is 12.2% higher than that of pure UiO-66 aerogel. Additionally, UiO-66-NH_(2)-1.45 aerogel also has noticeable CO_(2) selectivity against N_(2) and CH_(4) as well as good regeneration stability. Such results imply that it has good application prospect in the field of CO_(2) adsorption, and also contains the potential to be applied in catalysis, separation and other fields.

Small-molecule amines:a big role in the regulation of bone homeostasis

Numerous small-molecule amines(SMAs)play critical roles in maintaining bone homeostasis and promoting bone regeneration regardless of whether they are applied as drugs or biomaterials.On the one hand,SMAs promote bone formation or inhibit bone resorption through the regulation of key molecular signaling pathways in osteoblasts/osteoclasts;on the other hand,owing to their alkaline properties as well as their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory features,most SMAs create a favorable microenvironment for bone homeostasis.However,due to a lack of information on their structure/bioactivity and underlying mechanisms of action,certain SMAs cannot be developed into drugs or biomaterials for bone disease treatment.In this review,we thoroughly summarize the current understanding of SMA effects on bone homeostasis,including descriptions of their classifications,biochemical features,recent research advances in bone biology and related regulatory mechanisms in bone regeneration.In addition,we discuss the challenges and prospects of SMA translational research.

Selectively reductive amination of levulinic acid with aryl amines to N-substituted aryl pyrroles

Synthesizing nitrogen(N)-containing molecules from biomass derivatives is a new strategy for production of this kind of chemicals.Herein,for the first time we present the synthesis of N-substituted aryl pyrroles via reductive amination/cyclization of levulinic acid(LA)with primary aromatic amines and hydrosilanes(e.g.,PMHS)over Cs F,and a series of N-substituted aryl pyrroles could be obtained in good to excellent yields at 120○C.The mechanism investigation indicates that the reaction proceeds in two steps:the cyclization between amine and LA occurs first to form intermediate 5-methyl-N-alkyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-pyrrolones and their isomeride(B),and then the chemo-and region-selective reduction of intermediates take place to produce the final products.This approach for synthesis of N-substituted aryl pyrroles can be performed under mild and green conditions,which may have promising applications.

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.

Facile synthesis of hydrochar-supported catalysts from glucose and its catalytic activity towards the production of functional amines

Since the utilization of abundant biomass to develop advanced materials has become an utmost priority in recent years,we developed two sustainable routes(i.e.,the impregnation method and the one-pot synthesis)to prepare the hydrochar-supported catalysts and tested its catalytic performance on the reductive amination.Several techniques,such as TEM,XRD and XPS,were adopted to characterize the structural and catalytic features of samples.Results indicated that the impregnation method favors the formation of outer-sphere surface complexes with porous structure as well as well-distributed metallic nanoparticles,while the one-pot synthesis tends to form the inner-sphere surface complexes with relatively smooth appearance and amorphous metals.This difference explains the better activity of catalysts prepared by the impregnation method which can selectively convert benzaldehyde to benzylamine with an excellent yield of 93.7%under the optimal reaction conditions;in contrast,the catalyst prepared by the one-pot synthesis only exhibits a low selectivity near to zero.Furthermore,the gram-scale test catalyzed by the same catalysts exhibits a similar yield of benzylamine in comparison to its smaller scale,which is comparable to the previously reported heterogeneous noble-based catalysts.More surprisingly,the prepared catalysts can be expediently recycled by a magnetic bar and remain the satisfying catalytic activity after reusing up to five times.In conclusion,these developed catalysts enable the synthesis of functional amines with excellent selectivity and carbon balance,proving cost-effective and sustainable access to the wide application of reductive amination.

Pocket Modification of x-Amine Transaminase AtATA for Overcoming the Trade-Off Between Activity and Stability Toward 1-Acetonaphthone

Amine transaminases(ATAs)catalyze the asymmetric amination of prochiral ketones or aldehydes to their corresponding chiral amines.However,the trade-off between activity and stability in enzyme engineering represents a major obstacle to the practical application of ATAs.Overcoming this trade-off is important for developing robustly engineered enzymes and a universal approach for ATAs.Herein,we modified the binding pocket of co-ATA from Aspergillus terreus(AtATA)to identify the key amino acid residues controlling the activity and stability of AtATA toward 1-acetonaphthone.We discovered a structural switch comprising four key amino acid sites(R128,V149,L182,and L187),as well as the"best"mutant(AtATAD224K/V149A/L182 F/L187F;termed M4).Compared to the parent enzyme AtATAD224K(AtATAPa),M4 increased the catalytic efficiency(k_(cat)/K_(m)^(1-acetonaphthone),where kcatis the constant of catalytic activities and is 10.1 min^(-1),K_(m)^(1-acetonaphthoneis) Michaelis-Menten constant and is 1.7 mmol·L^(-1))and half-life(t1/2)by 59-fold to 5.9 L·min^(-1)·mmol-1and by 1.6-fold to 46.9 min,respectively.Moreover,using M4 as the biocatalyst,we converted a 20 mmol·L^(-1)aliquot of 1-acetonaphthone in a 50 mL scaled-up system to the desired product,(R)-(+)-1(1-naphthyl)ethylamine((R)-NEA),with 78%yield and high enantiomeric purity(R>99.5%)within 10 h.M4 also displayed significantly enhanced activity toward various 1-acetonaphthone analogs.The related structural properties derived by analyzing structure and sequence information of robust ATAs illustrated their enhanced activity and thermostability.Strengthening of intramolecular interactions and expansion of the angle between the substratebinding pocket and the pyridoxal 5’-phosphate(PLP)-binding pocket contributed to synchronous enhancement of ATA thermostability and activity.Moreover,this pocket engineering strategy successfully transferred enhanced activity and thermostability to three other ATAs,which exhibited 8%-22%sequence similarity with AtATA.This research has important implications for overcoming the trade-off between ATA activity and thermostability.

Dynamics simulation of tertiary amines adsorbing on kaolinite(001) plane

The collecting power of tertiary amines（DRN,DEN and DPN） on kaolinite follows the order of DENDPNDRN.After reacting with DRN,DEN and DPN,the surface potentials of kaolinite increase remarkably,and the recruitments caused by collectors also follow the order of DENDPNDRN.The results of dynamics simulation show that the geometries of substituent groups bonding to N are deflected and twisted,and some of bond angles are changed when tertiary amines cations adsorb on kaolinite（001） surface.Based on the results of dynamics simulations and quantum chemistry calculations,the electrostatic forces between three tertiary amines cations and 4×4×3（001） plane of kaolinite are 1.38×10？7 N（DRN12H＋）,1.44×10-6 N（DEN12H＋）,1.383×10-6 N（DPN12H＋）,respectively.

Semicarbazide-Sensitive Amine Oxidase(SSAO)是一类在人体内广泛分布但生理功能尚不清楚的酶。本研究中我们首次在动物模型上发现了SSAO活性对大鼠血糖的影响。通过使用SSAO的高选择性抑制剂MDL-72974A以及它的内源性底物甲胺等对动物进行处理,研究血糖与SSAO活性的关系。SSAO活性用同位素标记法以14C-苯甲胺为底物进行测定,血糖则采用己糖激酶法测定。此外我们还测定了尿甲醛排泄以考察SSAO催化脱氨反应是否发生。实验结果显示,抑制SSAO活性可以导致动物血糖升高,并且SSAO底物甲胺可以降低糖尿病鼠血糖。这些结果表明SSAO可能在血糖调节方面有某种作用,进一步研究将对发展糖尿病治疗策略有重要意义。

Optimization of reaction for synthesis of polyisobutylene amine between amination agent and epoxy polyisobutylene

An optimization study on the amination reaction of epoxy polyisobutylene for synthesis of polyisobutylene amine is presented. The experimental results indicate that n-butanol and ethylenediamine are the suitable solvent and amination agents for the reaction, respectively. The reaction yield of the amination reaction is notably increased with the enhanced molar ratio of either n-butanol against epoxy polyisobutylene or ethylenediamine against epoxy polyisobutylene. Also, the yield is enhanced with increasing temperature and time during the experimental range. Strikingly, the yield reaches as high as 91. 30% under optimal conditions; with the molar ratio of ethylenediamine, n-butanol and PIBO of 10∶ 6∶ 1, the reaction temperature of 150 ℃ and the reaction time of 6 h. In addition, the yield of the reaction is slightly decreased with the enhanced water content of the system. Accordingly, the mass concentration of water should be controlled within 1. 7% during the reaction.

N-(3′,4′,5′-Trimethoxycinnamoyl)ortho-aminobenzoic acid(TOA),at the concentration of 80μg/ml,significantly inhibited the antigen-induced contraction of ileum isolated from the actively sensitized guinea-pig.At the concentrations of 25 and 50μg/ml, TOA inhibited homocytotropic antibody-mediated degranulation of mast cells in the rat mesentery,and also inhibited anaphylactic histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells.

SAPO-34 synthesized with n-butylamine as a template and its catalytic application in the methanol amination reaction

SAPO-34 was synthesized with n-butylamine（BA） as a template for the first time.Crystallization temperature and initial Si amount were important factors leading to successful syntheses.Lamellar AlPO-kanemite tends to form as the major phase or as an impurity of SAPO-34 at lower crystallization temperatures,though a higher initial Si amount may offer a positive effect on the crystallization of SAPO-34 that mitigates the low temperature.Higher temperature（240℃） can effectively suppress the generation of lamellar materials and allow the synthesis of pure SAPO-34 with a wider range of Si incorporation.The crystallization processes at 200 and 240℃ were investigated and compared.We used the aminothermal method to synthesize SAPO-34-BA at 240℃ and also found n-propylamine is a suitable template for the synthesis of SAPO-34.The SAPO-34-BA products were characterized by many techniques.SAPO-34-BA has good thermal stability,crystallinity and porosity.BA remained intact in the crystals with ~1.8 BA molecule per chabazite cage.The catalytic performance of SAPO-34 was tested in the methanol amination reaction,which showed high methanol conversion and selectivity for methylamine plus dimethylamine under the conditions investigated,suggesting that this material is a good candidate for the synthesis of methylamines.
