The well-known toxic medicine Gelsemium elegans is widely and historically used to treat bone fracture and skin ulcers by the folk people of China. Two new monoterpenoid indole alkaloids, gelselegandines D and E, together with the known analogue gelegamine A were isolated from G. elegans. Their structures were elucidated by means of spectroscopic techniques and quantum chemical calculations. All isolated compounds were tested for the effects on RANKL-induced osteoclast formation. Interestingly, gelselegandine E and gelegamine A, respectively, showed significant promoting and inhibitory activities on osteoclastogenesis, while gelselegandine D had no activity under the same concentration. This work suggested the different configurations for the carbons near the C-19/20 oxygen rings of the isolated compounds may be the key active groups on osteoclast formation and provided the evidence for the rationality as the traditional treatment for bone-related diseases of G. elegans.

A series of the new 2-oxopyrimidin-1(2H)-yl-urea (3a-c) and thiourea (4a-d) derivatives were synthesized by the reaction of arylisocyanates (2a-c) or arylisothiocyanates (2d-g) and the 1-amino-5-(4-methoxybenzoyl)-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)pyrimidin-2(1H)-one (1). The structures of the compounds 3a-c and 4a-d were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1H and 13C-NMR spectroscopic techniques. In addition to experimental study in order to find molecular properties, quantum-chemical calculations of the synthesized compounds were carried out by using DFT/B3LYP method with basis set of the 6-311G(d,p). Quantum chemical features such as HOMO, LUMO, HOMO-LUMO energy gap, Ionization potential, chemical hardness, chemical softness, electronegativity, chemical potential, dipole moment etc. values for gas and solvent phase of neutral molecules were calculated and discussed.

In this study, a convenient procedure for the preparation of pyrazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidin-7(1H)-one derivatives is described. The new pyrazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidin-7(1H)-one derivatives (2a, b) were synthesized from the cyclocondensation reaction of the compounds 1-amino-5-(4-methoxybenzoyl)-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)pyrimidin-2(1H)-one (1a) and 1-amino-5-(4-methylbenzoyl)-4-(4-methylphenyl)pyrimidin-2(1H)-one (1b) with α-chloroacetone. The structures of the compounds (2a, b) were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopic techniques. In addition to experimental study in order to find molecular properties, quantum-chemical calculations of the new pyrazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidin-7(1H)-one derivatives (2a, b) were carried out by using DFT/B3LYP method with the 6-311G(d,p) and 6-311++G(2d,2p) basic sets. Quantum chemical features such as HOMO, LUMO, HOMO-LUMO energy gap, chemical hardness, chemical softness, electronegativity, chemical potential, dipole moment etc. values for gas and solvent phase of neutral molecules were calculated and discussed.

Three novel monoterpenoid indole alkaloids gardflorine A (1), gardflorine B (2), and gardflorine C (3) were isolated from the leaves of Gardneria multiflora. Their structures, including absolute configurations, were established on the basis of spectroscopic methods (MS, UV, IR, 1D and 2D NMR) and circular dichroism experiments. All the compounds were evaluated for their vasorelaxant and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activities. Compound 1 exhibited potent vasorelaxant activity, with an EC50 value of 8.7 μM, and compounds 2 and 3 showed moderate acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activities, with IC50 values of 26.8 and 29.2 μM, respectively.

The systematic exploration of synthetic pathways to afford a desired product through quantum chemical calculations remains a considerable challenge. In 2013, Maeda et al. introduced ‘quantum chemistry aided retrosynthetic analysis’ (QCaRA), which uses quantum chemical calculations to search systematically for decomposition paths of the target product and propose a synthesis method. However, until now, no new reactions suggested by QCaRA have been reported to lead to experimental discoveries. Using a difluoroglycine derivative as a target, this study investigated the ability of QCaRA to suggest various synthetic paths to the target without relying on previous data or the knowledge and experience of chemists. Furthermore, experimental verification of the seemingly most promising path led to the discovery of a synthesis method for the difluoroglycine derivative. The extent of the hands-on expertise of chemists required during the verification process was also evaluated. These insights are expected to advance the applicability of QCaRA to the discovery of viable experimental synthetic routes.

Zeolite A

Formation of CO<sub>3</sub><sup>2-</sup> and HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> species without participation of the framework oxygen atoms upon chemisorption of CO<sub>2</sub> in zeolite |Na<sub>12</sub>|-A is revealed. The transfer of O and H atoms is very likely to have proceeded via the involvement of residual H<sub>2</sub>O or acid groups. A combined study by solid-state <sup>13</sup>C MAS NMR, quantum chemical calculations, and <i>in situ</i> IR spectroscopy showed that the chemisorption mainly occurred by the formation of HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>. However, at a low surface coverage of physisorbed and acidic CO<sub>2</sub>, a significant fraction of the HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> was deprotonated and transformed into CO<sub>3</sub><sup>2-</sup>. We expect that similar chemisorption of CO<sub>2</sub> would occur for low-silica zeolites and other basic silicates of interest for the capture of CO<sub>2</sub> from gas mixtures.
