ABSTRACTThe present study aimed to scrutinize the potential of Bacillus subtilis SPB1biosurfactant, orally administered, for preventing diabetic complications in rats. The findings revealed that, Bacillus subtilis biosurfactant was an effective reducer of α‐amylase activity in the plasma. Moreover, this supplement helped protect the β‐cells from death and damage. Both the inhibitory action of SPB1 biosurfactant on α‐amylase and the protection of the pancreas’ β‐cells lead to a decrease of the blood glucose levels, consequently antihyperglycemic effect. Interestingly, this lipopeptide biosurfactant modulated key enzyme related to hyperlipidemia as lipase; which leads to the regulation of the lipid profile in serum by the delay in the absorption of LDL‐cholesterol and triglycerides, and a significant increase in HDL‐cholesterol. Histological analyses also showed that it exerted a protective action on the pancreases and efficiently preserved the liver–kidney functions of diabetic rats, evidenced by significant decreases in aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, gamma‐glytamyl transpeptidase and lactate deshydrogenase activities in the plasma, as well as in the creatinine and urea contents. Overall, the present study demonstrated that the hypoglycemic and antilipidemic activities exhibited by Bacillus subtilis biosurfactant were effective enough to alleviate induced diabetes in experimental rats. Therefore, SPB1biosurfactant could be considered as a potential strong candidate for the treatment and prevention of diabetes. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Development and validation of a UPLC‐MS/MS method for the determination of cucurbitacin B in rat plasma and application to a pharmacokinetic study
Authors: Zhao Waiou , Xu Dahai , Yan Weiwei , Wang Yushi , Zhang Nan 
Published: July 2015

AbstractCucurbitacin B (CuB), one of the most abundant forms of cucurbitacins, is a promising natural anticancer drug candidate. Although the anticancer activity of CuB has been well demonstrated, information regarding the pharmacokinetics is limited. A rapid, selective and sensitive UPLC‐MS/MS for CuB was developed and validated using hemslecin A (HeA) as internal standard (IS). Plasma samples were pre‐treated by liquid–liquid extraction with dichloromethane. Separation was achieved on a reversed‐phase C18 column (50 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) at 35°C using isocratic elution with water–methanol (25:75, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. The analytes were monitored by a triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer with positive electrospray ionization mode. The calibration curve was linear (r > 0.995) in a concentration range of 0.3–100 ng/mL with a limit of quantification of 0.3 ng/mL. Intra‐ and inter‐day accuracy and precision were validated by percentage relative error and relative standard deviation, respectively, which were both lower than the limit of 15%. This assay was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of CuB in Wistar rats. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Published: July 2015

AbstractFew‐layer graphene, carbon nanotubes, and N‐doped carbon nanotubes have been used to support Ru and/or Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The materials were prepared by a new single‐step sustainable method that involves: 1) a simple procedure, 2) the use of propanol as a solvent, 3) short reaction times, 4) an efficient and energy‐saving heat source, and 5) the absence of any high‐boiling‐point stabilizing agent or organic surfactant. The supported nanoparticles were characterized by TEM, XRD, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, and SQUID magnetometer analyses and employed in the selective hydrogenation of p‐chloronitrobenzene to p‐chloroaniline with very promising results. The hydrogenation runs evidence the marked influence of the diverse carbon nanostructures on the reaction rate, and highlights the promising activity of nanocatalysts supported on few‐layer graphene.
Multiscale Coupling of Pore Structure Evolution with Decomposition Kinetics of Limestone
Authors: Li Mingchun , Song Lanting , Wu Yusheng 
Published: July 2015

AbstractThe pore structure evolution and reaction characteristics of limestone with different particle sizes during thermal decomposition were investigated experimentally. A kinetic model considering the effect of pore structure evolution was developed to simulate the multiscale coupling of the mesoscale pore structure with the macroscopic transport and microscopic chemical reaction. Over a defined particle size range, the calculated results were in good agreement with the experimental data including the influence of gas diffusion throughout the whole decomposition course. A dimensionless Thiele modulus Th was constructed for assessing the critical point corresponding to the transformation of controlled mechanisms.
A Platinum–Vanadium Nitride/Porous Graphitic Nanocarbon Composite as an Excellent Catalyst for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Published: July 2015

AbstractThe oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a crucial process not only in fuel cells, but also in metal–air batteries, thus its electrocatalysts have attracted considerable attention. Here, we report the use of a vanadium nitride/porous graphitic nanocarbon (VN/PGNC) composite as an efficient support for a platinum electrocatalyst towards ORR. The VN/PGNC composite was synthesized through a gel‐coordination pyrolytic route. The gelatinous precursor formed by the coordination of VO3−, Ni2+, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), and glucose, followed by a carbonization–nitridation and a subsequent acid‐treatment process, led to the formation of the VN/PGNC composite with a large surface area of 879.0 m2 g−1. The synthetic 10 % Pt–VN/PGNC catalyst exhibited excellent ORR performance with more positive onset potential (1.02 V), 1.2 times higher mass activity (135.5 mA mg−1), 0.4 times higher specific activity (4.15 mA cm−2), and better cyclic stability compared with the commercial 20 % Pt/C catalyst. The 10 % Pt–VN/PGNC catalyst mainly exhibits a four‐electron pathway. The excellent performance of 10 % Pt–VN/PGNC catalyst is attributed to the porous structure of the support, which facilitates strong synergistic effects between the Pt and VN nanoparticles. The present work provides a cost‐effective route for the synthesis of the efficient ORR catalyst, which could promote the development of fuel cells.

Published: July 2015

AbstractThe internal functionalization of the Keplerate‐type capsule Mo132 has been carried out by ligand exchange leading to the formation of glutarate and succinate containing species isolated as ammonium or dimethylammonium salts. Solution NMR analysis is consistent with asymmetric inner dicarboxylate ions containing one carboxylato group grafted onto the inner side of the spheroidal inorganic shell while the second hangs toward the center of the cavity. Such a disposition has been confirmed by the single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis of the glutarate containing {Mo132} species. A detailed NMR solution study of the ligand‐exchange process allowed determining the binding constant KL of acetate (AcO−), succinate (HSucc−) or glutarate (HGlu−) ligands at the 30 inner coordinating sites, which vary such as K<K<K‐supported by the associated thermodynamic parameters ΔrS* and ΔrH*. Such a variation is mainly explained by a positive entropic gain attenuated by unfavorable steric effect. Furthermore, these results are completed by 1H DOSY and 1H EXSY NMR experiments which are in agreement with bulky guests firmly trapped within the cavity. At last, variable temperature 1H NMR study below 290 K revealed a striking line broadening occurring abruptly within a 5 K range. Such an effect appears closely related to the presence of the ammonium cations suspected to be present within the cavity and then has been interpreted as an inner‐phase transition leading to a frozen state.

Published: July 2015

AbstractA general method for the synthesis of dipeptides has been developed, which does not require any coupling reagents. This method is based on the reaction of readily available HCl salts of amino acid methyl esters with tetrabutylphosphonium amino acid ionic liquids. The isolation procedure of stepwise treatment with AcOH is easy to carry out. The method was extended to the synthesis of tripeptide, tyrosyl‐glycyl‐glycine, present in IMREG‐1, also.

Activation of Carbon Dioxide by Silyl Triflate‐Based Frustrated Lewis Pairs
Authors: Weicker Sarah A. , Stephan Douglas W. 
Published: July 2015

AbstractSilyl triflates of the form R4−nSi(OTf)n (n=1, 2; OTf=OSO3CF3) are shown to activate carbon dioxide when paired with bulky alkyl‐substituted Group 15 bases. Combinations of silyl triflates and 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine react with CO2 to afford silyl carbamates via a frustrated Lewis pair‐type mechanism. With trialkylphosphines, the silyl triflates R3Si(OTf) reversibly bind CO2 affording [R′3P(CO2)SiR3][OTf] whereas when Ph2Si(OTf)2 is used one or two molecules of CO2 can be sequestered. The latter bis‐CO2 product is favoured at low temperatures and by excess phosphine.
