Abstract In search of new potent bioactive compounds, a series of dehydroabietic acid-based thiadiazole-phosphonate compounds were designed and synthesized by the Mannich-type reaction. All target compounds were characterized by Fourier transform infrared, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13C NMR, 31P NMR, electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry, and UV-vis spectroscopy. The preliminary bioassay experiments showed that, at the concentration of 50 μg ml-1, some of the target compounds exhibited excellent antifungal activity against the five fungi tested, in which several compounds displayed even better antifungal effects than the commercial antifungal drug azoxystrobin, which served as the positive control in this study.

Abstract In the search of novel potent bioactive compounds, 18 novel camphoric acid-based acylhydrazone compounds 4a–4r were designed and synthesized by the condensation reaction of N-amino camphorimide (3) with substituted benzaldehyde based on camphoric acid as the starting material. The target compounds were characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13C NMR, electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), and elemental analysis. The preliminary bioassay showed that the following camphoric acid-based compounds exhibited excellent antifungal activity with an inhibition ratio of 95% against Physalospora piricola at the concentration of 50 μg ml-1: o-bromophenyl acylhydrazone (4f), p-bromophenyl acylhydrazone (4g), p-methoxyphenyl acylhydrazone (4m), and p-hydroxyphenyl acylhydrazone (4p).

Abstract This work is aiming at the preparation of new bioactive compounds from α-pinene as starting material. To this purpose, the intermediates (disubstituted phenyl acylamino thioureas, class G) were cyclized to dithiadiazoles (class H). The intermediates and target compounds were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13C NMR, and electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. The bioassay experiments showed that the compounds G and H have herbicidal, fungicidal, and plant growth-regulating activities. The compounds 2,2′-dimethylphenyl thiadiazole and 3,3′-dimethylphenyl thiadiazole exhibited a growth inhibition activity of 72% and 68% against the root of rape (Brassica campestris L.) at a concentration of 100 μg ml-1 (60–79% inhibition level). The compound 4,4′-dichlorophenyl acylamino thiourea displayed an inhibition activity of 75% against Physalospora piricola at a concentration level of 50 μg ml-1 (60–79% inhibition level).

Three dihydrostilbene derivatives (1-3) and 5 neolignans (4-8) were isolated from the ethyl acetate-soluble fraction of Pouzolzia sanguinea. Two new compounds (1 and 4) were obtained. Their structures, as well as their absolute configuration, were elucidated by means of high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, and circular dichroism spectral data. Compounds 1-8 inhibited NO production in lipopolysaccharide-activated BV2 cells with half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values ranging from 22.7 ± 1.5 to 61.2 ± 3.1 µM. Of these, compounds 1 and 2 exhibited the most NO inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 22.7 ± 1.5 and 25.1 ± 2.1 µM, respectively, in comparison with the positive control, NG-monomethyl-L-arginine, IC50 value 22.1 ± 1.2 µM.

Two light-activated NO donors [RuCl(qn)(Lbpy)(NO)]X with 8-hydroxyquinoline (qn) and 2,2′-bipyridine derivatives (Lbpy) as co-ligands were synthesized (Lbpy1 = 4,4′-dicarboxyl-2,2′-dipyridine, X = Cl− and Lbpy2 = 4,4′-dimethoxycarbonyl-2,2′-dipyridine, X = NO3−), and characterized using ultraviolet–visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), elemental analysis and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) spectra. The [RuCl(qn)(Lbpy2)(NO)]NO3 complex was crystallized and exhibited distorted octahedral geometry, in which the Ru–N(O) bond length was 1.752(6) Å and the Ru–N–O angle was 177.6(6)°. Time-resolved FT-IR and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra were used to confirm the photoactivated NO release of the complexes. The binding constant (Kb) of two complexes with human serum albumin (HSA) and DNA were quantitatively evaluated using fluorescence spectroscopy, Ru-Lbpy1 (Kb~106 with HSA and ~104 with DNA) had higher affinity than Ru-Lbpy2. The interactions between the complexes and HSA were investigated using matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and EPR spectra. HSA can be used as a carrier to facilitate the release of NO from the complexes upon photoirradiation. The confocal imaging of photo-induced NO release in living cells was successfully observed with a fluorescent NO probe. Moreover, the photocleavage of pBR322 DNA for the complexes and the effect of different Lbpy substituted groups in the complexes on their reactivity were analyzed.

4-Hydroxypleurogrisein, a congener of the anticancer-lead compound pleurotin, as well as six further derivatives were isolated from the basidiomycete Hohenbuehelia grisea, strain MFLUCC 12-0451. The structures were elucidated utilizing high resolution electron spray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESIMS) and 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectral data and evaluated for their biological activities; for leucopleurotin, we provide Xray data. While most congeners showed moderate antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity, 4-hydroxypleurogrisein emerged as an inhibitor of hepatitis C virus infectivity in mammalian liver cells.

Petroporphyrin compositional analysis of a heavy crude oil has been realized by isolation and subsequent ESI-FT-ICR mass spectrometric analysis of the porphyrin-containing fractions. Vanadium octaethyl (V=O(II)OEP) and nickel octaethyl (Ni(II)OEP) porphyrin standards were analyzed to determine favorable electrospray ionization conditions and provide insight as to the molecular species present (e.g., adducts, multimers). Standard V=O(II)OEP and Ni(II)OEP solutions revealed the presence of both monomer and dimer species with a greater relative abundance of monomers. In contrast, mass spectral analysis of a porphyrin fraction from Cerro Negro crude oil was dominated by dimeric species. MS3 analysis identified a dioctylphthalate (DOP) contaminant, likely introduced during fractionation of the crude oil. DOP-porphyrin complexes and porphyrin-porphyrin dimers were then identified. Infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) of dimeric species produced the corresponding monomers with minimal fragmentation. The monomeric petroporphyrins were analyzed to reveal the metal (Ni(II) or V=O(II)), porphyrin type (e.g., etio vs. DPEP), and distribution of alkylation.Key words: petroporphyrin, porphyrin, petroleum, electrospray ionization, mass spectrometry, Fourier transform, ion cyclotron resonance, ICR, FT-ICR, FTMS.
