Synthesis and characterisation of new types of side chain cholesteryl polymers
摘要:
A series of cholesterol derivatives have been synthesised via the alkylation reaction of the 3-hydroxyl group with the aliphatic bromide compounds with different chain lengths. namely 3 beta-alkyloxy-cholesterol. The double bond between the C5 and C6 positions in these cholesterol derivatives was oxidised into epoxy, followed by an epoxy-ring-opening reaction with the treatment with acrylic acid, resulting in a series of 3 beta-alkyloxy-5 alpha-hydroxy-6 beta-acryloyloxycholesterol, C(n)OCh (n = 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12), The acrylate group is connected to the C6 position, which is confirmed by the single crystal structure analysis. The corresponding polymers, PC(n)OCh, were prepared via free radical polymerisation. The structure of monomers and the resulting polymers were characterised with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The thermal properties of PC(n)OCh were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). To determine the secondary structure of polymers, circular dichroism (CD) spectra were performed. It was found that not all monomers produce high-molecular-weight polymers because of steric hindrance. However, all polymers have a helical structure, which can be enhanced by increasing the alkoxy chain length. In addition, increasing the alkoxy chain length decreases the glass transition temperature and increases the decomposition temperature of the polymers. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Die nucleophile SubstitutiondesCholesteryltosylats (1) durch die Nucleophile N3⊖, SCN⊖, Br⊖, J⊖ und Dimethylamin in protischen und aprotischen Medien wird untersucht. Deraprotisch-protische Effekt wird bei N3⊖ und SCN⊖ beobachtet; er ist bei Dimethylamin wahrscheinlich, fehlt aber bei Br⊖ und J⊖. – Unter den Nebenprodukten derSubstitution finden sich Steroid-Verbindungen (Tabb. 1–5 ), die zum Teil
Seventeen cholesteryl alkyl ethers were synthesized through alcoholysis of cholesterol p-toluenesulfonate. This method was found superior to the etherification of sodium or potassium cholesterylate with alkyl halides or methanesulfonates, especially for the preparation of long-chain unsaturated aklyl ethers of [7(m)-3H]cholesterol of high specific activity.

AbstractObjective: To examine the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and the use of medical and preventive health services.Research Methods and Procedures: This study involved secondary analysis of weighted data from the Australian 1995 National Health Survey. The study was a population survey designed to obtain national benchmark information about a range of health‐related issues. Data were available from 17,033 men and 17,174 women, ≥20 years or age. BMI, based on self‐reported weight and height, was analyzed in relation to the use of medical services and preventive health services.Results: A positive relationship was found between BMI and medical service use, such as medication use, visits to hospital accident and emergency departments (for women only); doctor visits, visits to a hospital outpatient clinics; and visits to other health professionals (for women only). A negative relationship was found in women between BMI and preventive health services. Underweight women were found to be significantly less likely to have Papanicolaou smear tests, breast examinations, and mammograms.Discussion: This research shows that people who fall outside the healthy weight range are more likely to use a range of medical services. Given that the BMI of industrialized populations appears to be increasing, this has important ramifications for health service planning and reinforces the need for obesity prevention strategies at a population level.
