Article Abstract

We recently identified 6-nitrodopamine and other nitro-catecholamines (6-nitrodopa, 6-nitroadrenaline), indicating that the endothelium has the ability to nitrate the classical catecholamines (dopamine, noradrenaline, and adrenaline). In order to investigate whether drugs could be subject to the same nitration process, we synthesized 4-nitro- and 7-nitropropranolol as probes to evaluate the possible nitration of the propranolol by the endothelium. The separation of the enantiomers in very high yields and excellent enantiopurity was achieved by chiral HPLC. Finally, we used Riguera's method to determine the absolute configuration of the enantiomers, through double derivatization with MPA and NMR studies.

Alstoniaschines A‒I (1‒9), nine previously alkaloids sharing five different skeletons were obtained from the leaves of Alstonia scholaris. The structures and absolute configurations were established by their extensive spectroscopic data analyses, including NMR, HRESIMS, X-ray crystallography data, and theoretical ECD calculations. Compounds 1, 2, 3, and 9 exerted significant protective effect against oxidative stress and inflammatory damage of podocytes induced by high glucose, manifesting as the increase of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, alongside the reductions of malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, lactate dehydrogenase.

The persistent threat posed by phytopathogenic fungi to agricultural systems underscores the critical need for novel fungicides. Here, we synthesized and characterized a series of novel acridospiroisoxazole derivatives (H1-H36) using H/C NMR and mass spectrometry. The absolute configuration of compound H23 was confirmed using single-crystal x-ray diffraction analysis.

LC-HRMS/MS-based molecular-network-guided chemical investigation of led to the isolation of seven undescribed tetrasaccharide-type resin glycosides (-). Their structures were elucidated using 1D and 2D NMR and HRESIMS analysis. Isolated resin glycosides were comprised of d-glucose, d-fucose, d-quinovose, and l-rhamnose, and these monosaccharides were partially acylated with acetyl, isobutyryl, -hexanoyl, and niloyl organic acids.

The calibration of the JET x-ray spectrometer is presented. The absolute throughput, diffractor focusing, and instrument function of the spectrometer are presented, and the quality of the ion temperature measurement is re-assessed, particularly at the lower end. The addition of a second diffractor enables the simultaneous measurements of the spectra from H- and He-like nickel, which widens the spatial coverage of the core-ion temperature measurements for high-performance plasmas at a fixed Bragg angle range.

Two new (1-2) and eight known pterosins (3-10) were obtained from the aerial parts of Hypolepis punctata. One compound (11) was synthesized from compound 4. Their structures were established by spectroscopic methods and the absolute configuration was further determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis for compounds 1, 3 and 4.
