ABSTRACT
Various signal transduction pathways in cells are closely related to the biological processes,while the proteins play an important role in the process of signal transductions.Proteomics,which is one of the effective methods for the study of cell signal pathways,can conduct proteomic analysis systematically as well as explore the expression of functional proteins related to the physiological characteristics in organism and in the initiation and progression of diseases.Nowadays,proteomics has been successfully applied in the studies of many kinds of signal pathways.In this paper,proteomic study in signal pathways related to liver disease,tumors,pathogenic mechanism of pathogens and metabolism are reviewed,in order to provide a reference for future research and applications of proteomics in the related fields.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To study the chemical constituents of the flower of Zang Epipremnum aureum. METHODS:The con-stituents of ethyl acetate extract of the flower of E. aureum were separated and purified with varied chromatographic techniques, and the structures were identified based on spectral data and chemical properties. RESULTS:Ten compounds were isolated from eth-yl acetate extract of the flower of E. aureum,they were identified as rutamontine(1),edgeworoside C(2),edgeworin(3),tiliro-side (4),helichrysoside (5),kaempferol (6),2,4-dihydroxypheny-2-hydroxy-4-metho-xybenzyl-ketone (7),ethyl caffeate (8), phthalic acid bis-(2-ethyl-hexyl) ester (9) and noreugenin (10). CONCLUSIONS:Compound 7 is firstly isolated from natural source,compounds 5,8 and 9 is firstly isolated from the family Thymelaeaceae,compound 6 is firstly isolated from Edgeworthia and compound 2 and 10 are firstly isolated from the flowers of E. aureum. The study lays certain foundation for the quality evalua-tion of E. aureum.
ABSTRACT
By introducing an electro-withdrawing antipyrine group, N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-N-(4-antipyrine)-10-methylacridinium-9-carboxamide triflate was prepared. The UV, FL and CL properties of the target compound and of its precursor were investigated by comparing with those of the model compound N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-N-phenyl-10-methylacridinium-9-carboxamide triflate and the corresponding precursor respectively. The results show that acridine sulfonamide with a heterocyclic antipyrine group exhibits blue shift of both UV absorption and of maximum excitation wavelength(λex) and emission wavelength(λem) in FL spectra, comparing with the corresponding model compound. The λex of the final target and its precursor are 268 and 274 nm, respectively; and the λem are 321 and 327 nm, respectively, while λex of the model compound and its unmethylated precursor are 365 and 359 nm, respectively; and the λem are 504 and 440 nm, respectively. Moreover, the chemiluminescence of the final target compound triggered by H2O2 could finish within 1.1 s; and the quantum yield is similar to that of the model compound, being 5.6 times high as that of luminol.
