  abstract  = {A new phenylanthrone, named knipholone cyclooxanthrone and a dimeric anthraquinone, 10-methoxy-10,7'-(chrysophanol anthrone)-chrysophanol were isolated from the roots of Kniphofia foliosa together with the rare naphthalene glycoside, dianellin. The structures were determined by NMR and mass spectroscopic techniques. The compounds showed antiplasmodial activities against the chloroquine-resistant (W2) and chloroquine-sensitive (D6) strains of Plasmodium falciparum with 10-methoxy-10,7'-(chrysophanol anthrone)-chrysophanol being the most active with IC50 values of 1.17 +/- 0.12 and 4.07 +/- 1.54 mu g/ml, respectively.},

  abstract  = {Phytochemical investigation of the dichloromethane/methanol (1:1) extract of the roots of Bulbine frutescens led to the isolation of a new xanthone, 8-hydroxy-6-methylxanthone-1-carboxylic acid (1) and a new phenylanthraquinone, 6',8-O-dimethylknipholone (2) along with six known compounds. The structures were elucidated on the basis of NMR and MS spectral data analyses. The structure of compound 1 was confirmed through X-ray crystallography which was then used as a reference to propose the revision of the structures of six seco-anthraquinones into xanthones. The isolated compounds were evaluated for cytotoxicity against human cervix carcinoma KB-3-1 cells with the phenylanthraquinone knipholone being the most active (IC50 = 0.43 mu M). Two semi-synthetic knipholone derivatives, knipholone Mannich base and knipholone-1,3-oxazine, were prepared and tested for cytotoxic activity; both showed moderate activities (IC50 value of 1.89 and 2.50 mu M, respectively).

  abstract  = {Zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are gaining popularity for a wide range of applications due to their high energy density, excellent safety, and environmental friendliness. A membrane/separator is a critical component of ZABs, with substantial implications for battery performance and stability, particularly in the case of a battery in solid state format, which has captured increased attention in recent years. In this review, recent advances as well as insight into the architecture of polymeric membrane/separators for ZABs including porous polymer separators (PPSs), gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs), solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) and anion exchange membranes (AEMs) are discussed. The paper puts forward strategies to enhance stability, ionic conductivity, ionic selectivity, electrolyte storage capacity and mechanical properties for each type of polymeric membrane. In addition, the remaining major obstacles as well as the most potential avenues for future research are examined in detail.},

Lastly, a three-dimensional (3D)model of hepcidin-25with bound copper(II) is presented. The identification of metal complexes and potential isoforms and isomers, from which the latter usually are left undetected by mass spectrometry, led to the conclusion that complementary analytical methods are needed to characterize a peptide calibrant or referencematerial comprehensively. Quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR), inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), ion-mobility spectrometry (IMS) and chiral amino acid analysis (AAA) should be considered among others.},

  abstract  = {The amphiphilic poly(ampholyte) poly(N,N-diallyl-N-hexylamine-alt-maleic acid), bearing simultaneously carboxylic acids, amines and hydrocarbon side chains, was used as a matrix to stabilize inorganic ion species (anionic as well as cationic) generated in aqueous solution from Ni(NO3)(2).6H(2)O, Co(NO3)(2).6H(2)O and (NH4)2MoO(4). Drying produces hybrid organic-inorganic blends which, due to the amphiphilicity of the copolymer, exhibit supramolecular organization in the bulk. Solid state studies show that up to two moles of metal cations (alone or together with metal anions) per repeat unit of the copolymer can be blended without loss of homogeneity in the hybrid material. A systematic screening permitted the determination of the optimal conditions for the preparation of homogeneous blends. Thermal treatment of the hybrid materials produces simple and mixed nickel and/or cobalt molybdates. The alpha- as well as the P- phase were obtained, and the mixed structures are solid solutions of simple NiMoO4 and CoMoO4},

It was found that among all diastereomers, those bearing substituents in -syn-axial positions showed the largest overall deshielding, i.e. the sum of all 13C chemical shifts [;;(13C)] was the greatest and also had the highest delocalization contribution to the molecular energy evaluated with NBO.
