| 1 | Selective formation of luminescent chiral cocrystal:Molecular self-assembly of 2,20-binaphthol and 2-(3-pyridyl)-1H-benzimidazole显示文摘Luminescent cocrystals have been received much attention in fluorescence imaging and sensor application. In this work, we report that the high-quality chiral luminescent cocrystal can be obtained through a molecular self-assembly process of 2,20-binaphthol and 2-(3-pyridyl)-1 H-benzimidazole. The assembly modes and stacking fashions of as-obtained cocrystal were determined by single crystal X-ray diffractometer. The structure and optical properties of the cocrystals were characterized by fluorescence emission, fluorescence decay, Raman and circular dichroism spectra. The results show that both the pristine co-assembled units(R-BINOL and S-BINOL) give rise to the R conformation within the final cocrystal, suggesting that the formation of cocrystal can be an effective way to achieve R/S-isomeric transformation of 2,20-binaphthol. It is also expected that the co-crystallization approach has much flexibility and potential applications for the design and selective formation of chiral luminescent materials. | Yanluo Lu Yanqun Tang Heyang Lin Xiaoyu Fang Bo Lu Dan Li Dongpeng Yan | 2018 | Chinese Chemical Letters2018，29，10： | 1 |
| 2 | Pharmacodynamics of frigid zone plant Taxus cuspidata S.et Z.against skin melanin deposition,oxidation,inflammation and allergy显示文摘Background:Taxus cuspidata S.et Z.is a precious species of frigid zone plant belonging to the Taxaceae family,which possesses anticancer,anti-inflammatory,hypoglycemic,and antibacterial pharmacological properties.While taxane extracted from Taxus chinensis has been reported to elicit antioxidant activities,whether Taxus cuspidata S.et Z.has skin-protective actions against injuries remained unknown.This study aims to explore the pharmacological effects of three Taxus extracts on skin melanin deposition,oxidation,inflammation,and allergy so as to provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of various diseases related to skin damage.Methods:Skin melanin deposition was evaluated by measuring melanin content in the skin of guinea pigs by alkali lysis method.Antioxidant capacity was evaluated by measuring superoxide dismutase(SOD)concentration and glutathione(GSH)content in skin tissue homogenates of Kunming mice by SOD assay kit and micro reduced GSH assay kit.The quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)and western blotting were used to examine the levels of both SOD and recombinant glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4).Skin inflammation was evaluated by xylene-induced ear swelling test and egg-white-induced paw swelling test in mice.In a mouse model of skin allergy induced by 4-aminopyridine(4-AP),allergy was determined by licking body counts and histamine concentrations in tissue homogenates using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)kits.Two proinflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-αand interleukin(IL)-1βwere measured by qRT-PCR.Hematoxylin and eosin(HE)staining was conducted to assess the degree of skin lesion.Results:All three Taxus extracts including Taxus chinensis essential oil,Taxus chinensis extract and Taxus chinensis extract compound reduced the melanin deposits in the back skin relative to the non-treated control animals,of which Taxus chinensis essential oil produced the greatest effect.In contrast,the three Taxus extracts elevated SOD and GSH levels in the skin tissues,and the highest increase was seen with Taxus chinensis essential oil.Three Taxus extracts,especially Taxus chinensis essential oil,effectively reduce the rate of ear and paw swelling.All three Taxus extracts reduced the number of body licks,the levels of TNF-αand IL-1β,and the histamine content in tissue homogenates of mice and alleviated skin damage.Consistently,Taxus chinensis essential oil yielded the greatest magnitude of decreases.Conclusion:While all three Taxus extracts possessed the anti-skin melanin deposition,oxidation,and allergy properties,Taxus chinensis essential oil produced the superior effects. | Yang Shi Ling Liu Heyang Sun Chen Chen Jing Feng Yongchao Chen Yuan Lin Philipp Kopylov Qi Wang Yong Zhang | 2023 | Frigid Zone Medicine2023，3，1： | 0 |
