Indonesia has the largest and most biodiverse coral reef in the world. Colt coral has not been studied and explored especially endophytic fungi associated with the coral. Endophytic fungi are highly potential for the production of antioxidant and anticancer compounds. This research aimed to study the antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of fermentation extract from endophytic fungi from colt coral. Filtrate and mycelium extracts were obtained from static and shake fermentations of isolate SKF 15. Antioxidant and cytotoxic assays were conducted by free radical scavenger 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and AlamarBlue methods, respectively. The result showed that FD extract provided the highest antioxidant activity with inhibition of 49.36% at 200 ppm of DPPH. Variation of fermentation time (3-21 days) demonstrated the highest activity with inhibition of 66.97% for antioxidant assay (7 days) and 81.13% for cytotoxic assay (3 days). FTIR analysis presented the existence of hydroxyl groups O-H (3452.58 cm-1), C=C groups (1668.43 cm-1); C-O hydroxyl group (1230.58 cm -1), and C-H sp3 groups (2941.44 cm-1). Based on LC-MS analysis, FD extract has a mass of m/z 305.63, [M+H]+, predicted as dihydroquercetin (C15H24O7). Keywords: Antioxidant assay, cytotoxic assay, endophytic fungi, colt coral, DPPH method, AlamarBlue method

Several efforts have been dedicated to the development of lignin-based polyurethanes (PU) in recent years. The low and heterogeneous reactivity of lignin hydroxyl groups towards diisocyanates, arising from their highly complex chemical structure, limits the application of this biopolymer in PU synthesis. Besides the well-known differences in the reactivity of aliphatic and aromatic hydroxyl groups, experimental work in which the reactivity of both types of hydroxyl, especially the aromatic ones present in syringyl (S-unit), guaiacyl (G-unit), and p-hydroxyphenyl (H-unit) building units are considered and compared, is still lacking in the literature. In this work, the hydroxyl reactivity of two kraft lignin grades towards 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) was investigated. 31P NMR allowed the monitoring of the reactivity of each hydroxyl group in the lignin structure. FTIR spectra revealed the evolution of peaks related to hydroxyl consumption and urethane formation. These results might support new PU developments, including the use of unmodified lignin and the synthesis of MDI-functionalized biopolymers or prepolymers.

The preparation of bioactive polymeric molecules requires the attention of scientists as it has a potential function in biomedical applications. In the current study, functional substitution of alginate with a benzoyl group was prepared via coupling its hydroxyl group with benzoyl chloride. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy indicated the characteristic peaks of aromatic C=C in alginate derivative at 1431 cm−1. HNMR analysis demonstrated the aromatic protons at 7.5 ppm assigned to benzoyl groups attached to alginate hydroxyl groups. Wetting analysis showed a decrease in hydrophilicity in the new alginate derivative. Differential scanning calorimetry and thermal gravimetric analysis showed that the designed aromatic alginate derivative demonstrated higher thermo-stability than alginates. The aromatic alginate derivative displayed high anti-inflammatory properties compared to alginate. Finally, the in vitro antioxidant evaluation of the aromatic alginate derivative showed a significant increase in free radical scavenging activity compared to neat alginate against DPPH (2,2-diphenyll-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS free radicals. The obtained results proposed that the new alginate derivative could be employed for gene and drug delivery applications.

The preparation of 3α,12α-bisdimethylamino-5β-cholane dimethiodide, 3α,12α-bisdimethylamino-5β-cholane dimethiodide, 3α,12α- bisdimethylamino-24-nor-5β-cholanedimethiodide, and 3α,12α- bisdimethylamino-24-nor-5β-cholanediethiodide, from deoxycholic acid are described. During this work it was found that attempted copper- quinoline decarboxylation of dehydrocholic acid gives rise to lactol formation, and that what had previously been considered to be 3α,12α- dihydroxy-5β-cholane is a mixture of this compound and 12α,24- dihydroxy-5β-cholane. Comparable selectivity of attack by methanesulphonyl chloride and toluene-p-sulphonyl chloride occurs with various polyhydric alcohols derived from bile acids, as evidenced from the products of reduction of the sulphonates with lithium aluminium hydride. With both 5α- and 5β-cholane derivatives, a C 3 equatorial hydroxyl group exhibits comparable reactivity to the terminal primary hydroxyl group, generated from the bile acid carboxylic group, towards both sulphonyl chlorides. With axial hydroxyl groups at C 7 and C 12, toluene-p-sulphonate formation is much more difficult than methane- sulphonate formation. Reduction by means of lithium aluminium hydride of equatorial sulphonate esters at C 7 and C 12 gives rise to a methylene group, but the axial sulphonates under the same conditions give the axial alcohol. The same clear distinction between equatorial and axial sulphonate esters is not observed at C 3 and C 6, but 17α- methanesulphonyloxy-5α-androstane gives 5α-androstane and the 17β- ester gives 17β-hydroxy-5α-androstane. Reduction of 12-oximino groups in both 5α- and 5β-cholanes with sodium and ethanol, hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, or lithium aluminium hydride gives solely the 12α-amino compound.

The possibility of using N-allylcarbothioamide derivatives as well as products of their iodine- and proton-initiated electrophilic heterocyclizations as chelating agents in complexation reactions with Zn(II) and Ag(I) ions is shown. Processing of the obtained experimental data showed that N-allythioamides of pyrimidinyl (cyclohexenyl) carboxylic acids H2L1 – H2L3 and their proton- and iodo-cyclization products HL4, HL5 containing four nucleophilic reaction centers (two oxygen atoms of the carbonyl and hydroxyl groups and N-, S-carbothioamide groups or N-atoms of the dihydrothiazole moiety) are polydentate ligands capable of coordinating with metal ions to form stable six-membered chelate metallocycles. A series of new chelating mono-, bi- and polynuclear complexes Zn(II) and Ag (I) of the composition [Zn2L1,32]n, [Zn2(HL1-3)2(CH3COO)2], [Ag2(HL1,3)2]n, [Zn(HL1-3)2], [Ag(H2L3)2NO3], [Zn(HL4,5)2], K[Ag(HL4,5)2] were synthesized and isolated in solid state. Their molecular structure was established by methods of elemental chemical analysis, NMR 1H, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. At a ratio of M:L 1:2, complexes were isolated in which two ligand molecules H2L1 − H2L3 are coordinated to the metal ion by the sulfur atoms of the carbothioamide group and the oxygen of the mono-deprotonated hydroxyl group. It was established that the products of the proton-/iodocyclization HL4, HL5 in the complex formation pass into the thione tautomeric form with coordination through the oxygen atoms of the deprotonated hydroxyl group and nitrogen atoms of the dihydrothiazole heterocycle. At M:L 1:1, binuclear or polynuclear coordination compounds are formed. It was shown that polymerisation in complexes [Zn2L1,32]n and [Ag2(HL1,3)2]n is due to the formation of Zn−(O2SN)−Zn and Ag−O−Ag polymer chains. Investigation of the solubility of the resulting complexes showed that the polymer complexes are weakly soluble or insoluble in DMSO, DMF, while the mononuclear are soluble in methanol, as well as in water.

Bacterial cellulose obtained by culturing Gluconacetobacter sucrofermentans in HS environment was converted to sulfonate derivatives using methane-, toluene- and 2-phthalimidoethanesulfonic acids in pyridine. When the ratio of the starting reagents is 1 : 1, the modification of bacterial cellulose according to the primary hydroxyl group of glucopyranose fragments is most likely. The formation of 6-substituted bacterial cellulose derivatives was observed in the reaction mixture. The IR spectra of the reaction products contain absorption bands, which are specific for (O–SO2) group in the region 1377-1338 cm−1 (as), 1178-1154 cm−1 (s), fragments of the corresponding sulfonic acids, as well as free hydroxyl groups of glucopyranose in the region 3495-3382 cm−1. Bacterial cellulose 2-phthalimidoethanesulfonate was dissolved in pyridine. After drying with a desiccant in a desiccator, it turned into a dense transparent film of brown color. The increased molecular film allows to explain the side reaction occurring between the oxo group and fragments of one of the chains of modified cellulose and the non-substituted hydroxymethyl group. The IR spectrum of bacterial cellulose 6-(2-phthalimidoethanesulfonate) contains absorption bands in the region 1711 cm−1, which are specific for (Ar–CO–O) group, and absorption bands in the region 1618 cm−1, which prove the presence of (CO–NH) group. In order to impart antibiotic properties to the bacterial cellulose 6-(2-phthalimido-ethanesulfonate) film, it was physically modified with clotrimazole. The obtained experimental data showed that the films subjected to treatment with a 1% solution of clotrimazole have antibacterial and antifungal effects and prevent the growth of pathogenic microbiota on the wound surface. The exit rates of clotrimazole from the bacterial cellulose 6-(2-phthalimidoethanesulfonate) film and from the pure bacterial cellulose film differed, but only slightly. 2-Phthalimidoethanesulfonate bacterial cellulose films can be used to form composites of effective wound covering, since in addition to the unique properties of bacterial cellulose itself (low allergenicity and adhesion to the wound surface, high hygroscopicity) they will have a regenerating effect.

AbstractThe hydration of an outer layer on nuclear waste glasses is known to occur during leaching, but the actual speciation of hydrogen (as water or hydroxyl groups) in these layers has not been determined. As part of the Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations Project, we have used infrared spectroscopy to determine hydrogen speciations in three nuclear waste glass compositions (SRL-131 & 165, and PNL 76-68), which were leached at 90°C (all glasses) or hydrated in a vapor-saturated atmosphere at 202°C (SRL-131 only). Hydroxyl groups were found in the surface layers of all the glasses. In addition, molecular water was found in the surface of SRL-131 and PNL 76-68 glasses that had been leached for several months in deionized water, and in the vapor-hydrated sample. The water/hydroxyl ratio increases with increasing reaction time; molecular water makes up most of the hydrogen in the thick reaction layers on vapor-phase hydrated glass while only hydroxyl occurs in the least reacted samples. Using the known molar absorptivities of water and hydroxyl in silica-rich glass the vapor-phase layer contained 4.8 moles/liter of molecular water, and 0.6 moles water in the form hydroxyl. A 15 micrometer layer on SRL-131 glass formed by leaching at 90°C contained a total of 4.9 moles/liter of water, 2/3 of which was as hydroxyl. The unreacted bulk glass contains about 0.018 moles/liter water, all as hydroxyl.The amount of hydrogen added to the SRL-131 glass was about 70% of the original Na + Li content, not the 300% that would result from alkali-hydronium ion (H30+) interdiffusion. If all the hydrogen is then assumed to be added as the result of alkali-H+ interdiffusion, the molecular water observed may have formed from condensation of the original hydroxyl groups according to:20H = H20 molecular + 00where 00 refers to a bridging oxygen, and OH refers to a hydroxyl group attached to a silicate polymer. The hydrated layer on the nuclear waste glasses appears to be of relatively low water content (4 to 7% by weight) and is not substantially hydroxylated. Thus, these layers do not have many of the properties associated with “gel” layers.

Purpose: This study aimed to challenge the anticancer potency of PGV-1 and obtain a new compound (Chemoprevention-Curcumin Analog 1.1, CCA-1.1) with improved chemical and pharmacological properties. Methods: CCA-1.1 was prepared by changing the ketone group of PGV-1 into a hydroxyl group with NaBH4 as the reducing agent. The product was purified under preparative layer chromatography and confirmed with HPLC to show about 98% purity. It was tested for its solubility, stability, and cytotoxic activities on several cancer cells. The structure of the product was characterized using 1HNMR, 13C-NMR, FT-IR, and HR-mass spectroscopy. Results: Molecular docking analysis showed that CCA-1.1 performed similar or better interaction to NF-kB pathway-related signaling proteins (HER2, EGFR, IKK, ER-alpha, and ER-beta) and reactive oxygen species metabolic enzymes (NQO1, NQO2, GSTP1, AKC1R1, and GLO1) compared with PGV-1, indicating that CCA-1.1 exhibits the same or better anticancer activity than PGV-1. CCA-1.1 also showed better solubility and stability than PGV-1 in aqueous solution at pH 1.0–7.4 under light exposure at room temperature. The cytotoxic activities of CCA-1.1 against several (10) cancer cell lines revealed the same or better potency than PGV-1. Conclusion: In conclusion, CCA-1.1 performs better chemical and anticancer properties than PGV-1 and shows promise as an anticancer agent with high selectivity.

The contribution of hydrogen bonds and the London dispersion force in the cohesion of cellulose is discussed in the light of the structure, spectroscopic data, empirical molecular-modelling parameters and thermodynamics data of analogue molecules. The hydrogen bond of cellulose is mainly electrostatic, and the stabilization energy in cellulose for each hydrogen bond is estimated to be between 17 and 30 kJ mol −1 . On average, hydroxyl groups of cellulose form hydrogen bonds comparable to those of other simple alcohols. The London dispersion interaction may be estimated from empirical attraction terms in molecular modelling by simple integration over all components. Although this interaction extends to relatively large distances in colloidal systems, the short-range interaction is dominant for the cohesion of cellulose and is equivalent to a compression of 3 GPa. Trends of heat of vaporization of alkyl alcohols and alkanes suggests a stabilization by such hydroxyl group hydrogen bonding to be of the order of 24 kJ mol −1 , whereas the London dispersion force contributes about 0.41 kJ mol −1  Da −1 . The simple arithmetic sum of the energy is consistent with the experimental enthalpy of sublimation of small sugars, where the main part of the cohesive energy comes from hydrogen bonds. For cellulose, because of the reduced number of hydroxyl groups, the London dispersion force provides the main contribution to intermolecular cohesion. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘New horizons for cellulose nanotechnology’.

A mild methylation of phenolic hydroxyl groups with iodomethane was enabled in the presence of sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide at room temperature. The reverse reaction, namely demethylation of methyl phenyl ethers, was easily achieved by microwave heating with neat iodotrimethylsilane.
