In this study, 19 octadecanoid derivatives—four pairs of enantiomers (1–8), two racemic/scalemic mixtures (9–10), and nine biosynthetically related analogues—were obtained from the ethanolic extract of a Chinese medicinal plant, Plantago depressa Willd. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of detailed spectroscopic analyses, with the absolute configurations of the new compounds assigned by time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT)-based electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Six of them (1, 3–6, and 9) were reported for the first time, while 2, 7, and 8 have been previously described as derivatives and are currently obtained as natural products. Our bioassays have established that selective compounds show in vitro anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells.

Eight azukisapogenol triterpene glycosides, including five new compounds, oxychiliotriterpenosides A–E (1–5), two new methyl glucuronide derivatives that proved to be artifacts, oxychiliotriterpenoside E-glucuronic acid methyl ester (6) and myrioside B-glucuronic acid methyl ester (7), and a known one, myrioside B (8), was isolated from the aerial part of Oxytropis chiliophylla Royle. Their structures were elucidated based on extensive spectroscopic analyses and chemical methods. Triterpene glycosides were first obtained from O. chiliophylla, and those containing a galactose unit (1, 2, 5 and 6) and diglucosidic or triglucosidic linkage at C-29 (1–4), were reported from Oxytropis species for the first time, which might be recognized as a chemotaxonomic feature of O. chiliophylla. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activities against NO production using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 cells, but no compounds showed potent inhibition on NO production.

Phytochemical investigation of the whole plant of Tradescantia albiflora Kunth led to the isolation and characterization of a butanolide, rosmarinosin B (1), that was isolated from natural sources for the first time, a new butenolide, 5-O-acetyl bracteanolide A (2), and a new apocarotenoid, 2β-hydroxyisololiolide (11), together with 25 known compounds (compounds 3–10 and 12–28). The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by analysis of their spectroscopic data, including MS, 1D, and 2D NMR experiments, and comparison with literature data of known compounds. Furthermore, four butenolides 4a–4d were synthesized as novel derivatives of bracteanolide A. The isolates and the synthesized derivatives were evaluated for their preliminary anti-inflammatory activity against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW 264.7 cells. Among them, the synthesized butenolide derivative n-butyl bracteanolide A (4d) showed enhanced NO inhibitory activity compared to the original compound, with an IC50 value of 4.32 ± 0.09 μg/mL.

This study reports the anti-inflammatory activity-guided fractionation of the aerial part of Piper bavinum C. CD. (Piperaceae) that led to the isolation of eight secondary metabolites (1–8). The chemical structures of 1–8 were established mainly by NMR and mass spectra. Compound 5 was isolated from P. bavinum for the first time. All the isolated compounds were evaluated against LPS-induced NO production in macrophage RAW 264.7 cells in vitro. Among them, compound 4 showed the most potent inhibitory activity against the LPS-induced NO production with an IC50 value of 5.2 μM followed by compound 5 that inhibited NO production with an IC50 value of 13.5 μM. In the protein levels, compound 4 suppressed LPS-induced COX-2 and iNOS expressions in a dose-dependent manner. The results suggested that P. bavinum and its constituents might exert anti-inflammatory effects.

AbstractTwo new 3,5-dihetarylsubstituted 1,2,4- oxadiazoles 8 a,b, including N-alkyl substituted carbazole and thiophene moieties, were synthesized as potential components of materials for organic electronics devices. Optical and electrochemical properties of all new compounds were investigated. On the basis of the experimental UV absorption data, the values of bandgap energies equal to 3.44 eV (8a) and 3.05 eV (8b) were determined. The values of their ionization potentials, HOMO levels (−5.62 eV for 8a, −5.46 eV – for 8b), as well as their electron affinity levels, LUMO levels (−2.2 eV for 8a, −2.4 eV – for 8b), were calculated from the results of electrochemical studies. The energy of the triplet excited states of 8 a,b was defined with the help of time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT), comprising 2.68 eV (8a) and 2.32 eV (8b), where the greatest value of this parameter was for the compound with a shorter conjugation chain.

Three new compounds, xenorine A-C, along with six known compounds were isolated from the cultured broth of Xenorhabdus indica. The chemical structures of these compounds were elucidated mainly by analysis of 1D and 2D NMR and MS data. The major metabolites were dioxopiperazines. In addition, 5,6,11,11a-tetrahydro-1 H-imidazo[1′,5′:1,6]pyrido[3,4- b]indole-1,3(2 H)-dione, previously described as synthetic product, was isolated as a natural product. The absolute configuration was determined using quantum chemical time-dependent density functional theory calculations. The six known compounds showed weak in vitro immunosuppressive activity towards concanavalin-A- and lipopolysaccharide -induced proliferation of mice splenocytes.

First Time

For the first time in the present study, we studied the adsorption effect of the Solriamfetol (SOF) on the electronic and optical properties of B12N12 fullerene using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations with the M062X/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory in the solvent water. The calculated adsorp-tion energies of SOF drug with the B12N12 fullerene were computed at T= 298.15 K with the M062X functional. The UV/Vis absorption spectra were computed and investigated for study the significant changes happening in interactions between SOF and B12N12 fullerene. The IR spectra also were calculated and investigated. The calculated results indicate that the adsorption of the SOF drug from its internal NH2 group on the B12N12 fullerene (configuration B) has the most chemical stability rather than configuration A and C. According to the NBO results, the SOF molecule and B12N12 fullerene identify as both electrons donor and acceptor at the complexes B12N12-SOF. On the other hand, the charge transfer is occurred between the bonding, antibonding or nonbonding orbitals in the SOF drug and B12N12 fullerene. It is found that the applied B12N12 fullerene can be suitable as a drug carrier for the delivery of SOF as drug for treatment of excessive sleepiness.

Thiophene (T) and thienothiophene (TT) containing 2,5-dihydro-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione (DPP) compounds were prepared according to the succinic ester route from the corresponding heterocyclic nitrile precursors. As is typical of most DPP pigments, the new compounds showed high thermal stability and could be obtained in pure form as determined by elemental analysis. The bulk properties and molecular structure of the compounds were further characterized by thin film, powder XRD and solid state CP-MAS 13 C NMR. Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent (TD) DFT were employed to study the geometric and electronic structures of these molecules in the ground state. The optical properties were investigated by UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA), which revealed that the absorption maximum of the thiophene diketo-pyrrolo-pyrroles (TDPP) and thienothiophene diketo-pyrrolo-pyrroles (TTDPP) in solution were red shifted up to 25 nm and 60 nm, respectively, relative to Pigment Red 255 (PhDPP), while a new absorption band appeared at longer wavelengths in N-methyl pyrolidone (NMP) and N,N′-dimethylpropylene urea (DMPU) which is ascribed to solvent induced charge transfer (CT) complex. The molecular conformations and absorption spectra of TDPP and TTDPP were characterized by quantum chemical methods in order to better understand the observed behavior.

Inflammatory Effect

Objective: The objective was to develop the semisolid preparations containing extract of Thai polyherbal recipe with anti-inflammatory effect. Methods: Polyherbal ethanolic extract was prepared by maceration and determined for phytochemicals and antioxidant activity. Effects of extract on the production of pro-inflammatory mediator-nitric oxide (NO)-were examined in RAW 264.7 cells. Semisolid preparations, balm, and gel, were prepared and evaluated. In vitro release profiles and mechanisms of phenolic compounds, phytochemical markers, from the preparations were investigated. Results: Polyherbal ethanolic extract was dark yellow-green, viscous liquid with the yields of 8.2%. Total phenolic and total flavonoid contents were 121.21±1.60 mg GAE/g and 26.55±1.38 mg QE/g, respectively. Antioxidant assay showed that polyherbal extract can scavenge the radical to a certain extent, with DPPH IC50 of 160.75±3.43 µg/ml and FRAP values of 91.94±4.17 mg FeSO4/g. In vitro anti-inflammatory test revealed that the extract inhibited NO production in a dose-dependent manner, with IC50 of 145.65±3.26 µg/ml. The yellowish-green color, homogenous and suitable for skin application polyherbal balm and gel was obtained. The higher release of phenolics from the gel was observed, with the cumulative release at 8 h of 119.0±4.3 mg GAE, whereas that from the balm was only 39.7±2.0 mg GAE. The phenolic release profile was found to be best fitted with the Higuchi model. Conclusion: The semisolid preparations containing Thai polyherbal recipe extract with anti-inflammatory effect were successfully prepared. The proper semisolid base and compositions are crucial for effective skin delivery as they influence the release rates of phytochemical markers.

The near ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrum of disulfur monoxide ( S2O) has been theoretically studied by using the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and the equation of motion coupled-cluster singles and doubles approach (EOM-CCSD) combined with the AUG-cc-PVQZ basis set. From this, analytical expressions for the absorption coefficient over the 250 - 340 nm range are reported for the first time. The computed molecular structure and the vibrational frequencies for the ground and third electronically excited state S2O (C 1Aʹ), responsible of the observed spectrum, are compared with available data.

Molecules containing sulfur-nitrogen bonds, like sulfonamides, have long been of interest due to their many uses and chemical properties. Understanding the factors that cause sulfonamide reactivity is important, yet their continues to be controversy regarding the relevance of S-N π bonding in describing these species. In this paper, we use sulfur K-edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) in conjunction with density functional theory (DFT) to explore the role of S<sub>3p</sub> contributions to π-bonding in sulfonamides, sulfinamides and sulfenamides. We explore the nature of electron distribution of the sulfur atom and its nearest neighbors and extend the scope to explore the effects on rotational barriers along the sulfur-nitrogen axis. The experimental XAS data together with TD-DFT calculations confirm that sulfonamides, and the other sulfinated amides in this series, have essentially no S-N π bonding involving S<sub>3p</sub> contributions and that electron repulsion and is the dominant force that affect rotational barriers.
