RESUMO
Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a major polyphenol component in green tea. EGCG has high free radical scavenging activity, radiation protection efficiency, and metal-chelating capacity due to its unique structure with hydroxyl groups. EGCG and its derivatives have been reported in various fields. This paper reviews the effects of EGCG, including radiation protection, heavy metal ion adsorption, and promotion of heavy metal ion excretion. EGCG has the potential to be used as an ideal radiation protection agent, heavy metal adsorbent, and even excretion promoting agent.
RESUMO
With the rapid development of nuclear technology in the fields of industry and medicine, the possibility of people suffering from radiation damage has also increased. Radiation injury prevention and treatment drugs are the most effective and direct means for the treatment and protection of radiation injury, but the current radiation injury prevention and treatment drugs have limited effects. Due to the unique valence structure of cerium nanomaterials, it has a variety of enzymatic simulation activities and reproducibility. It shows superior oxidation resistance, powerful free radical scavenging function, and can protect cells from radiation damage. It can be used as an ideal it is a radioprotective agent, and is used in a variety of biological fields. A review of relevant literature shows that the antioxidant properties, high SOD mimicking activity, free radical scavenging ability and radiation resistance of ceria nanoparticles are derived from the mutual conversion of Ce3+/Ce4+ and the formation of oxygen vacancies. This article mainly introduces the basis of anti-radiation activity of ceria nanoparticles, radiation protection effects and the research progress of radiotherapy sensitization, and provides theoretical basis and reference for ceria nanoparticles in the field of radiation direction.
RESUMO
The role of point-of-care (POC) diagnostics is important in public health. With the support of smartphones, POC diagnostic technologies can be greatly improved. This opportunity has arisen from not only the large number and fast spread of cell-phones across the world but also their improved imaging/diagnostic functions. As a tool, the smartphone is regarded as part of a compact, portable, and low-cost system for real-time POC, even in areas with few resources. By combining near-infrared (NIR) imaging, measurement, and spectroscopy techniques, pathogens can be detected with high sensitivity. The whole process is rapid, accurate, and low-cost, and will set the future trend for POC diagnostics. In this review, the development of smartphone-based NIR fluorescent imaging technology was described, and the quality and potential of POC applications were discussed.
RESUMO
Objective To design and synthesize a new potential angiogenesis inhibitor, demethyl bryoanthrathiophene. Methods Target molecule-demethyl bryoanthrathiophene was synthesized in 5 steps using 1,8-dihydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone as the starting material, 5,7-dihydroxy-1-carboxyl-6-oxo-6H-anthra thiophene as the key intermediate and decarboxylization as the key step. Results The target molecule was synthesized with a total yield of 10.1% and identified by MS, IR, UV, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and 2D-NMR. Conclusion Our synthesis of demethyl bryoanthrathiophene is based on an easily-acquired starting material and accomplished with a simple synthetic route.
RESUMO
Objective To study the synthesis of methyl bryoanthrathiophene-1-carboxylate with high efficiency. Methods Target compounds were synthesized from 1,8-dihydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone via 5 steps including protecting, nitration, methyl mercaptoacetate substitution, intramolecular Aldol reaction and deprotecting. Results Target molecule was synthesized in the total yield of 45.8%. Conclusion Our synthesis of methyl bryoanthrathiophene-1-carboxylate is characterized by short synthetic route, high selectivity and high efficiency.
