A novel sulfonated diamine monomer, 1,4-bis(4-aminophenoxy)-naphthyl-2,7-disulfonic acid (BAPNDS), was synthesized. A series of sulfonated polyimide copolymers were prepared from BAPNDS, 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (NTDA) and nonsulfonated diamine 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl ether (ODA). Flexible, transparent, and mechanically strong membranes were obtained. The membranes displayed slightly anisotropic membrane swelling. The dimensional change in thickness direction was larger than that in planar. The novel SPI membranes showed higher conductivity, which was comparable or even higher than Nafion 117. Membranes exhibited methanol permeability from 0.24 × 10−6 to 0.80 × 10−6 cm2/s at room temperature, which was much lower than that of Nafion (2 × 10−6 cm2/s). The copolymers were thermally stable up to 340 °C. These preliminary results have proved its potential availability as proton-exchange membrane for PEMFCs or DMFCs.

Fructone (2-methyl-2-ethylacetoacetate-1, 3-dioxolane), a flavouring material, has been synthesized from ethyl acetoacetate and glycol using five water-soluble Brønsted acid ionic liquids as catalysts for the first time. The used Brønsted acid ionic liquids include [Hmim]Tfa, [Hmim]Tsa, [Hmim]BF4, [Bmim]HSO4, [Bmim]H2PO4, and [Hmim]BF4 showed the highest catalytic activity for the preparation of fructone. After reaction, the product could be isolated from the reaction system automatically, and the ionic liquid could be directly reused without dehydration.

A simple and convenient procedure for reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones using N-methylpyrrolidine zinc borohydride (ZBHNMP) as a reducing agent is described. The reactions are carried out with 1 equiv of amine and 1 equiv of aldehyde or ketone using 1 equiv of ZBHNMP in methanol under neutral conditions at room temperature.

Platinum containing compounds have shown antineoplastic potential, but their clinical applications have been limited by high toxicity. Ruthenium containing complexes have long been known to be well suited for biological applications, and have long been utilized as replacements to popular platinum based-drugs. Here, we report a novel series of ruthenium(II) arene compounds bearing thiosemicarbazone and isonicotinylhydrazone ligands with potent anticancer activity their structure activity relationships and apoptosis was studied. The cytotoxic activity of the new ruthenium(II) arene compounds has been evaluated in several cell lines (Molt 4/C8, L1210, CEM, HL60 and BEL7402). Among them, ten complexes were found to be excellent in vitro growth inhibitory activity against various cell lines with IC50 in the sub-micromolar range.

We synthesized thirty-six novel pyrazole derivatives and studied their antiproliferative activity in human ovarian adenocarcinoma A2780 cells, human lung carcinoma A549 cells, and murine P388 leukemia cells. Four of these substances were selected because of their higher antiproliferative activity and further analyses showed that they were all able to induce apoptosis, although to a different extent. The expression of p53 and p21(waf1), which induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, was evaluated by western blot analysis in cells treated with compound 12d. The analysis of the cell cycle showed that all the selected compounds cause a partial G2/M block and the formation of polyploid cells. Furthermore, the four selected compounds were tested for their interaction with the microtubular cytoskeletal system by docking analysis, tubulin polymerization assay and immunofluorescence staining, demonstrating that the compound 12d, unlike the other active derivatives, was able to significantly b...

The green reaction of isatoic anhydrides with α-amino acids in presence of the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide afforded 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-diones in excellent yields in absence of a catalyst. The reaction workup is simple and the ionic liquid was easily recovered from the reaction and reused. The methodology was quite general and a range of cyclic and acyclic α-amino acids were examined to produce 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-diones.
