Comparative Interaction Studies of Quercetin with 2-Hydroxyl-propyl-β-cyclodextrin and 2,6-Methylated-β-cyclodextrin.

Project description:Quercetin (QUE) is a well-known natural product that can exert beneficial properties on human health. However, due to its low solubility its bioavailability is limited. In the present study, we examine whether its formulation with two cyclodextrins (CDs) may enhance its pharmacological profile. Comparative interaction studies of quercetin with 2-hydroxyl-propyl-β-cyclodextrin (2HP-β-CD) and 2,6-methylated cyclodextrin (2,6Me-β-CD) were performed using NMR spectroscopy, DFT calculations, and in silico molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Using T1 relaxation experiments and 2D DOSY it was illustrated that both cyclodextrin vehicles can host quercetin. Quantum mechanical calculations showed the formation of hydrogen bonds between QUE with 2HP-β-CD and 2,6Μe-β-CD. Six hydrogen bonds are formed ranging between 2 to 2.8 Å with 2HP-β-CD and four hydrogen bonds within 2.8 Å with 2,6Μe-β-CD. Calculations of absolute binding free energies show that quercetin binds favorably to both 2,6Me-β-CD and 2HP-β-CD. MM/GBSA results show equally favorable binding of quercetin in the two CDs. Fluorescence spectroscopy shows moderate binding of quercetin in 2HP-β-CD (520 M-1) and 2,6Me-β-CD (770 M-1). Thus, we propose that both formulations (2HP-β-CD:quercetin, 2,6Me-β-CD:quercetin) could be further explored and exploited as small molecule carriers in biological studies.

Synthetic preparation and immunological evaluation of β-mannosylceramide and related N-acyl analogues.

Project description:The synthesis of the invariant natural killer (iNK) T cell agonist β-mannosylceramide along with a series of fatty amide analogues is reported. Of the six β-glycosylation protocols investigated, the sulfoxide methodology developed by Crich and co-workers proved to be the most effective where the reaction of a mannosyl sulfoxide and phytosphingosine derivative gave a key glycolipid intermediate as a 95 : 5 mixture of β- to α-anomers in high yield. A series of mannosyl ceramides were evaluated for their ability to activate D32.D3 NKT cells and induce antitumour activity.

Preparation and Interfacial Properties of Hydroxyl-Containing Polyimide Fibers

Project description:Developing polyimide (PI) fibers with excellent interfacial adhesion and high mechanical properties for the PI fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites (PFRPs) industry has been challenging. In this work, 4,4′-diamino-(1,1′-biphenyl)-3,3′-diol (HAB) diamine was introduced into the rigid molecular chains, and the high-performance PI fibers, presenting an interfacial shear strength (IFSS) value of 46.33 MPa, tensile strength of 2.62 GPa, and modulus of 100.15 GPa, were successfully manufactured when the content of HAB in mixed diamines was 30 mol %. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy identified the presence of intermolecular H-bonding interactions, and 2D small-angle X-ray scattering indicated that the introduction of HAB moiety contributed to reducing the radii of microvoids in the fibers, which were considered to be the key factors leading to a significant enhancement in the mechanical properties of the fibers. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and the static contact angle intuitively illustrated that the synthetic fiber surface contained active hydroxyl groups. The IFSS value of PI fiber/epoxy resin composites (PI/EPs) was 56.47 MPa when the content of HAB reached 70 mol %. Failure morphologies confirmed that the interfacial adhesion of PI/EPs was enhanced owing to the surface activity of PI fibers. Consequently, this study provides an effective strategy to the long-standing problems of high mechanical performances and poor surface activity for traditional PI fibers used in the PFRPs industry.

Structural Studies of Piperine Inclusion Complexes in Native and Derivative β-Cyclodextrins.

Project description:Piperine (PN), the primary pungent alkaloid in black pepper shows several biological activities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-cancerogenic effects. Similar to other alkaloids, PN is characterized by poor water solubility. One way to improve its solubility and thus its biological activities is by forming inclusion complexes with suitable cyclodextrins. In this work PN inclusion complexes in native β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), its methylated (randomly methylated (RM-β-CD), heptakis-(2,6-di-O-methyl)-β-CD (DM-β-CD) and heptakis-(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-β-CD (TM-β-CD)) and 2-hydroxypropylated (HP-β-CD) derivatives are investigated using physicochemical methods, such as phase solubility study and X-ray crystallography complemented by theoretical (molecular dynamics simulations) studies. The determination of the crystal structure of the PN inclusion complexes in β-CD, DM-β-CD and TM-β-CD, reveals the formation of 1:2 guest:host inclusion complexes in the crystalline state. The guest PN molecule threads the hydrophobic cavities of the hosts which are arranged as couples in a tail-to-tail mode in the case of PN/β-CD and in a head-to-tail mode in the cases of PN/DM-β-CD and PN/TM-β-CD. MD studies based on the crystallographically determined structures and docked models show the stability of the examined complexes in an aqueous environment whereas the binding affinity of PN for the host molecules is calculated by the MM/GBSA method. Finally, phase-solubility studies of PN with β-CD, RM-β-CD and HP-β-CD are presented, indicating a Bs-type for the PN/β-CD complex and an AL-type for the PN/RM-β-CD and PN/HP-β-CD complexes with 1:1 guest:host stoichiometry.

Synthetic Studies with Bacitracin A and Preparation of Analogues Containing Alternative Zinc Binding Groups.

Project description:The growing threat of drug-resistant bacteria is a global concern, highlighting the urgent need for new antibiotics and antibacterial strategies. In this light, practical synthetic access to natural product antibiotics can provide important structure-activity insights while also opening avenues for the development of novel analogues with improved properties. To this end, we report an optimised synthetic route for the preparation of the clinically used macrocyclic peptide antibiotic bacitracin. Our combined solid- and solution-phase approach addresses the problematic, and previously unreported, formation of undesired epimers associated with the stereochemically fragile N-terminal thiazoline moiety. A number of bacitracin analogues were also prepared wherein the thiazoline motif was replaced by other known zinc-binding moieties and their antibacterial activities evaluated.

Towards Standards for Human Fecal Sample Preparation in Targeted and Untargeted LC-HRMS Studies.

Project description:Gut microbiota and their metabolic products are increasingly being recognized as important modulators of human health. The fecal metabolome provides a functional readout of the interactions between human metabolism and the gut microbiota in health and disease. Due to the high complexity of the fecal matrix, sample preparation often introduces technical variation, which must be minimized to accurately detect and quantify gut bacterial metabolites. Here, we tested six different representative extraction methods (single-phase and liquid-liquid extractions) and compared differences due to fecal amount, extraction solvent type and solvent pH. Our results indicate that a minimum fecal (wet) amount of 0.50 g is needed to accurately represent the complex texture of feces. The MTBE method (MTBE/methanol/water, 3.6/2.8/3.5, v/v/v) outperformed the other extraction methods, reflected by the highest extraction efficiency for 11 different classes of compounds, the highest number of extracted features (97% of the total identified features in different extracts), repeatability (CV < 35%) and extraction recovery (≥70%). Importantly, optimization of the solvent volume of each step to the initial dried fecal material (µL/mg feces) offers a major step towards standardization, which enables confident assessment of the contributions of gut bacterial metabolites to human health.
