Design,synthesis and biological evaluation of nitric oxide releasing derivatives of dapagliflozin as potential anti-diabetic and anti-thrombotic agents

The cardiovascular complications were highly prevalent in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), even at the early stage of T2DM or the state of intensive glycemic control. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the intervention of cardiovascular complications in T2DM. Herein, the new hybrids of NO donor and SGLT2 inhibitor were design to achieve dual effects of anti-hyperglycemic and anti-thrombosis. As expected, the preferred hybrid 2 exhibited moderate SGLT2 inhibitory effects and anti-platelet aggregation activities, and its anti-platelet effect mediated by NO was also confirmed in the presence of NO scavenger. Moreover, compound 2 revealed significantly hypoglycemic effects and excretion of urinary glucose during an oral glucose tolerance test in mice. Potent and multifunctional hybrid, such as compound 2, is expected as a potential candidate for the intervention of cardiovascular complications in T2DM.     

毛叶秋海棠叶片组织培养快速繁殖

毛叶秋海棠（Begonia rex Puts.）通常是用叶片进行繁殖。但繁殖系数不高,在短期内要得到大量繁殖植株是有困难的。采用离休叶片进行组织培养,能够做到快速无性繁殖。     

不同培养基及激素对铁线蕨孢子离体繁殖的影响

铁线蕨Adiantum capillus-veneris L.是一种常绿草本,植株高15—40厘米,叶片小、纸质,叶片排裂似云片状,是一种优雅的室内观叶植物。多年来,在生产上我国仍采用分株繁殖的方法。用组织培养的方法进行蕨类植物的孢子繁殖工作,国内做得很少。现将我们所做的铁线蕨孢子离体繁殖工作,报道如下。     

西蒙得木茎段组织培养中腋芽生长和增殖的激素调节

6-苄基嘌呤(6-BA);赤霉素(GA_3)和吲哚乙酸(IAA)对西蒙得木茎段的腋芽生长和增殖都可起促进作用,三种激素间有复杂的相互关系。6-BA的作用尤为明显和重要,适宜浓度为1—2mg/L。GA_3浓度为1mg/L时对腋芽生长和增殖有促进进作用,但浓度再增加,长出的腋芽数减少,且芽条生长不良。6-BA与GA_3组合使用,能明显促进腋芽生长,最好组合为6-BA_1—2mg/L GA_3 0.5mg/L:若6-BA浓度升高时,出芽量虽增多,但芽条生长不良。IAA1mg/L或2mg/L时添加不同浓度的6-BA,长出的腋芽数均比单独使用IAA要多;在加低浓度的6-BA(1—2mg/L)时抽出的腋芽数比单独使用6-BA(1—2mg)的少,但芽条生长健壮;在加入较高温度的6-BA(3—5mg/L)时抽出的腋芽数比单独使用6-BA(3—5mg/L)时多。
