Antifungal activity of alkyl and heterocyclic aza-derivatives of gossypol as well as their complexes with NaClO4 against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lupini
摘要:
Eight alkyl and six heterocyclic aza-derivatives of gossypol (2-15) have been synthesized using gossypol (1) extracted from Gossypium Herbaceum cottonseeds. The ability of gossypol aza-derivatives to form complexes with NaClO4 has been investigated by electrospray ionisation (ESI) mass spectra recorded in the positive and negative ion detection modes. The gossypol aza-derivatives have been characterized by FT-IR, H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopic methods and subsequently tested for their antifungal properties against Fusarium oxysporum. Four alkyl aza-derivatives (2-5), present in the enamine-enamine tautomeric form, have shown activity comparable or higher than that of gossypol against this fungus. To improve the antifungal activity the complexes of the most active compounds 2-5 with NaClO4 were prepared. Complexes of 2 and 5 with NaClO4 have shown antifungal activity higher than that of the uncomplexed compounds. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Anion–π interaction has been found to play a key role in interfacial phenomena. In this study, we evaluated the anion–π interactions at the solid/water interface. Anion adsorption originating from anion–π interaction at the interfaces followed the hydration energy and the presence of conjugated systems of the anions by the QCM measurements. Force curve measurements revealed that the single-molecule
A new hydrazone of gossypol with 3,6,9-trioxadecylhydrazine (GHTO) has been synthesised and its structure has been studied by H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy and PM5 semiempirical methods. The results have shown that the newly synthesised hydrazone exists in solution in the N-imine N-imine tautomeric form, stabilized by several intramolecular hydrogen bonds among which the (O7HN16)-N-center dot center dot center dot intramolecular hydrogen bond is the strongest. The structure of GHTO is visualized by the PM5 semiempirical calculations. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
