This study aimed to design novel nitrogen-rich heptazine derivatives as high energy density materials (HEDM) by exploiting
systematic structure–property relationships. Molecular structures with diverse energetic substituents at varying positions
in the basic heptazine ring were designed. Density functional techniques were used for prediction of gas phase heat of formation
by employing an isodesmic approach, while crystal density was assessed by packing calculations. The results reveal that nitro
derivatives of heptazine possess a high heat of formation and further enhancement was achieved by the substitution of nitro
heterocycles. The crystal packing density of the designed compounds varied from 1.8 to 2 g cm−3, and hence, of all the designed molecules, nitro derivatives of heptazine exhibit better energetic performance characteristics
in terms of detonation velocity and pressure. The calculated band gap of the designed molecules was analyzed to establish
sensitivity correlations, and the results reveal that, in general, amino derivatives possess better insensitivity characteristics.
The overall performance of the designed compounds was moderate, and such compounds may find potential applications in gas
generators and smoke-free pyrotechnic fuels as they are rich in nitrogen content. 相似文献

Bottle gourd [(Lagenaria siceraria (Mol.) Stand.] fruit is ascribed with many therapeutic effects. The present study was undertaken to explore the antihyperlipidemic effect of four different extracts viz. petroleum ether, chloroform, alcoholic and aqueous extracts from bottle gourd in Triton-induced hyperlipidemic rats and their hypolipidemic effects in normocholesteremic rats. The study is comprised preliminary phytochemical screening of the extracts. Oral administration of the extracts, at doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight in rats, dose-dependently inhibited the total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoproteins level, and significantly increased the high density lipoproteins level. However, petroleum ether extract did not show the significant effects. Both the chloroform and alcoholic extract exhibited more significant effects in lowering total cholesterol, triglycerides and low density lipoproteins along with increase in HDL as compared to the others. Preliminary phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids, sterols, cucurbitacin saponins, polyphenolics, proteins, and carbohydrates. The results obtained suggest marked antihyperlipidemic and hypolipidemic activity of the extracts. 相似文献

Different nitro azole isomers based on five membered heterocyclics were designed and investigated using computational techniques
in order to find out the comprehensive relationships between structure and performances of these high nitrogen compounds.
Electronic structure of the molecules have been calculated using density functional theory (DFT) and the heat of formation
has been calculated using the isodesmic reaction approach at B3LYP/6-31G* level. All designed compounds show high positive
heat of formation due to the high nitrogen content and energetic nitro groups. The crystal densities of these energetic azoles
have been predicted with different force fields. All the energetic azoles show densities higher than 1.87 g/cm3. Detonation properties of energetic azoles are evaluated by using Kamlet-Jacobs equation based on the calculated densities
and heat of formations. It is found that energetic azoles show detonation velocity about 9.0 km/s, and detonation pressure
of 40GPa. Stability of the designed compounds has been predicted by evaluating the bond dissociation energy of the weakest
C-NO2 bond. The aromaticity using nucleus independent chemical shift (NICS) is also explored to predict the stability via delocalization
of the π-electrons. Charge on the nitro group is used to assess the impact sensitivity in the present study. Overall, the
study implies that all energetic azoles are found to be stable and expected to be the novel candidates of high energy density
materials (HEDMs). 相似文献

Positive selection is a general phenomenon in the evolution of abalone sperm lysin 总被引:15,自引:21,他引:15
Lysin is a 16kDa acrosomal protein used by abalone sperm to create a hole
in the egg vitelline envelope (VE). The interaction of lysin with the VE is
species-selective and is one step in the multistep fertilization process
that restricts heterospecific (cross-species) fertilization. For this
reason, the evolution of lysin could play a role in establishing prezygotic
reproductive isolation between species. Previously, we sequenced sperm
lysin cDNAs from seven California abalone species and showed that positive
Darwinian selection promotes their divergence. In this paper an additional
13 lysin sequences are presented representing species from Japan, Taiwan,
Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Europe. The total of 20 sequences
represents the most extensive analysis of a fertilization protein to date.
The phylogenetic analysis divides the sequences into two major clades, one
composed of species from the northern Pacific (California and Japan) and
the other composed of species from other parts of the world. Analysis of
nucleotide substitution demonstrates that positive selection is a general
process in the evolution of this fertilization protein. Analysis of
nucleotide and codon usage bias shows that neither parameter can account
for the robust data supporting positive selection. The selection pressure
responsible for the positive selection on lysin remains unknown.

Females of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus differ in the structures of their egg jelly sulfated fucans 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The egg jelly coats of sea urchins contain sulfated fucans which bind to a
sperm surface receptor glycoprotein to initiate the signal transduction
events resulting in the sperm acrosome reaction. The acrosome reaction is
an ion channel regulated exocytosis which is an obligatory event for sperm
binding to, and fusion with, the egg. Approximately 90% of individual
females of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus spawned eggs having
only one of two possible sulfated fucan electrophoretic isotypes, a slow
migrating (sulfated fucan I), or a fast migrating (sulfated fucan II)
isotype. The remaining 10% of females spawned eggs having both sulfated
fucan isotypes. The two sulfated fucan isotypes were purified from egg
jelly coats and their structures determined by NMR spectroscopy and
methylation analysis. Both sulfated fucans are linear polysaccharides
composed of 1-->3-linked alpha-L-fucopyranosyl units. Sulfated fucan I
is entirely sulfated at the O -2 position but with a heterogeneous
sulfation pattern at O -4 position. Sulfated fucan II is composed of a
regular repeating sequence of 3 residues, as follows: [3-alpha-L-Fuc p -
2,4(OSO3)-1-->3-alpha-L-Fuc p -4(OSO3)-1-->3-alpha-L-Fuc p -4(OSO3)-
1]n. Both purified sulfated fucans have approximately equal potency in
inducing the sperm acrosome reaction. The significance of two structurally
different sulfated fucans in the egg jelly coat of this species could
relate to the finding that the sperm receptor protein which binds sulfated
fucan contains two carbohydrate recognition modules of the C-type lectin
variety which differ by 50% in their primary structure.
