Oligosaccharides and N/O-glycans are abundant in human milk and have numerous biological functions (for instance sialylated glycans provide sialic acid for the growth of infant brains), but their variation trends during lactation need further exploration. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of oligosaccharides and N/O-glycans in human milk at different lactation stages (from 7 days to 8 months) were performed using UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS. Thirty-four oligosaccharides, twenty-three N-glycans, and six O-glycans were identified. Oligosaccharides showed the highest abundance in human colostrum and decreased with the progression of lactation, and the abundance of N/O-glycans fluctuated as lactation progressed, while a high abundance of sialylated oligosaccharides and sialylated N/O-glycans was observed in human colostrum. These findings provide evidence for breastfeeding support and contribute to the development of infant formula supplemented with human milk glycans.

Mannan polysaccharides (MPs), which contain substituted O -acetyl groups in their backbone, are abundant in the medicinal plant Dendrobium officinale . Acetyl groups can influence the physiological and biochemical properties of polysaccharides, which mainly accumulate in the stems of D. officinale at four developmental stages (S1–S4), showing an increasing trend and a link with water-soluble polysaccharides (WSPs) and mannose. The genes coding for enzymes that catalyze O -acetyl groups to MPs are unknown in D. officinale . The TRICHOME BIREFRINGENCE-LIKE (TBL) gene family contains TBL and DUF231 domains that can transfer O -acetyl groups to various polysaccharides. Based on an established D. officinale genome database, 37 DoTBL genes were identified. Analysis of cis -elements in the promoter region showed that DoTBL genes might respond to different hormones and abiotic stresses. Most of the genes with MeJA-responsive elements were upregulated or downregulated after treatment with MeJA. qRT-PCR results demonstrated that DoTBL genes had significantly higher expression levels in stems and leaves than in roots. Eight DoTBL genes showed relatively higher expression at S2–S4 stages, which showed a link with the content of WSPs and O -acetyl groups. DoTBL35 and its homologous gene DoTBL34 displayed the higher mRNA level in different organs and developmental stages, which might participate in the acetylation of MPs in D. officinale . The subcellular localization of DoTBL34 and DoTBL35 reveals that the endoplasmic reticulum may play an important role in the acetylation of MPs.

Xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibition has long been considered an effective anti-hyperuricemia strategy. To identify effective natural XOD inhibitors with little side effects, we performed a XOD inhibitory assay-coupled isolation of compounds fromSmilacis Glabrae Rhizoma(SGR), a traditional Chinese medicine frequently prescribed as anti-hyperuricemia agent for centuries. Through the in vitro XOD inhibitory assay, we obtained a novel XOD inhibitor, 5-O-caffeoylshikimic acid (#1, 5OCSA) with IC50of 13.96 μM, as well as two known XOD inhibitors, quercetin (#3) and astilbin (#6). Meanwhile, we performed in silico molecular docking and found 5OCSA could interact with the active sites of XOD (PDB ID: 3NVY) with a binding energy of −8.6 kcal/mol, suggesting 5OCSA inhibits XOD by binding with its active site. To evaluate the in vivo effects on XOD, we generated a hyperuricemia mice model by intraperitoneal injection of potassium oxonate (300 mg/kg) and oral gavage of hypoxanthine (500 mg/kg) for 7 days. 5OCSA could inhibit both hepatic and serum XOD in vivo, together with an improvement of histological and multiple serological parameters in kidney injury and HUA. Collectively, our results suggested that 5OCSA may be developed into a safe and effective XOD inhibitor based on in vitro, in silico and in vivo evidence.Keywords:Smilacis Glabrae Rhizoma;5-O-caffeoylshikimic acid;potassium oxonate;hyperuricemia;XOD inhibitor

Rapid thermal exfoliation/reduction of graphite oxide is a fast and easy method among the oxidation–reduction approaches for graphene synthesis. In this research, we firstly demonstrated that graphene can be obtained with a surface area of 550 to 700 m2 g−1 and a yield of approximately 50% through one-step rapid thermal treatment in air from 450 to 550 °C, without vacuum or protective gas through a self-protection process. Then, we further demonstrated the effective two-step thermal annealing to significantly improve the C/O ratio from ca. 7.3 to 25.9 in air at the relatively low temperature of 600 °C. The smart self-protecting and enhanced-oxygen-removal mechanisms were discussed.

In order to explore the effects of the structures of organic molecules on their performance and develop high-efficiency self-assembly monolayers (SAMs), two heterocycle-based indole compounds, namely FYBI and TYBI, have been synthesized by a simple route. Herein, we show that FYBI and TYBI can effectively self-assemble on a copper surface and form strong anti-corrosive monolayers to protect copper in acid medium. The compositions, morphologies, and thicknesses of the SAMs have been investigated by XPS, FTIR, SEM and ellipsometry analyses. The optimal self-assembly conditions and inhibition performance of the SAMs with O- or S-heterocycles have been studied by electrochemical tests. According to the results, TYBI displays more powerful inhibition performance than FYBI. Furthermore, the high-resolution XPS and quantum calculation results reveal that the S-heterocycle indole (TYBI) can readily donate electrons to the empty d orbital of Cu and form more robust, hydrophobic, and anti-corrosive SAMs than the O-heterocycle indole (FYBI). The inhibited corrosion is achieved by inhibiting the generation of Cu2+. This systematic study on the performance of various heterocycle-based organic compounds gives a fresh perspective for forming SAMs with certain characteristics, such as anti-corrosion ability or super-hydrophobicity.

Direct introduction of silyl radicals to forge C–Si bonds is of central importance in organic synthesis, owing to the formidable potential of silyl groups as coupling partners for further derivatization reactions to achieve more valuable compounds. Cleavage of heteroaromatic endocyclic carbon–heteroatom bonds to assemble C–Si bonds is scarce. Here, we demonstrate a dearomatization silylation of benzofurans and furopyridines via silyl radical addition and C(2)–O bond scission under metal-catalyst-free and mild conditions. Preliminary mechanistic experiments suggest that these transformations involve radical/single-electron transfer and [1,5]-Brook rearrangement processes. This protocol for the total synthesis of Doxepin and oxyresveratrol derivatives is carried out. The silylated products in several transformation reactions have proven to be useful as synthetic intermediates.

Graphical Highly substituted 2-hydroxyflavanones can be obtained through a tandem O -arylation/hydroxylation process from triazenylaryl-substituted diketones in the presence of a Lewis acid. A transition-metal-free tandem O -arylation/hydroxylation approach has been developed for the efficient synthesis of highly substituted 2-hydroxyflavanones from triazenylaryl-substituted diketones. The intermediate benzopyrylium cation may be involved in these reactions.

Herein, we report a copper-catalyzed C-O cross-coupling of N-methoxy amides and arylboronic acids for the synthesis of aryl-N-methoxy arylimides. The fully selective O-arylation of the N-methoxy amides is found to be greatly prompted by the inexpensive and commercially available CuI. The reaction conditions tolerate a variety of functional groups and promote different reactivities depending on the electronic and steric properties of the distorted substrates.Keywords:copper catalyzed;N-methoxy amides;selective C-O cross-coupling;aryl-N-methoxy arylimides

In this study, an amorphous Li 2 CO 3 -coated nanocrystalline α-Fe 2 O 3 hierarchical structure is synthesized for the first time using a facile one-step mechanochemical process at room temperature, taking advantage of the concurrence of repeated fracture-cold welding of material's particles and a gas-solid redox reaction. The conformal coating and hierarchical structure significantly increase the cycling durability and rate capability. Typically, a 1–3 nm thick amorphous Li 2 CO 3 layer is conformally coated on Fe 2 O 3 nanocrystallines (≈10 nm in size) that form hierarchically aggregated particles 400–800 nm in size by ball milling α-Fe 2 O 3 with LiH in CO 2 . The prepared Li 2 CO 3 -coated nanocrystalline α-Fe 2 O 3 exhibits highly stable long-term cyclability as it delivers a reversible capacity of 975 mAh g −1 with 99% of retention after 400 cycles at 100 mA g −1 . At a high rate of 3000 mA g −1 , its reversible capacity still remains at 537 mAh g −1 , superior to the uncoated counterpart (311 mAh g −1 ). Moreover, amorphous Li 2 O and Li 2 CO 3 coatings are also similarly produced on Fe 2 O 3 and NiO nanocrystallines, respectively, representing the general applicability of this mechanochemical approach.

To meet the demand of high power and energy densities of Li-ion batteries, M-Nb-O compounds are of significance due to not only the intercalation pseudocapacitance but also the high theoretical capacities and excellent cycling stability. However, the exploration of M-Nb-O is very limited. Herein, we firstly report GaNb 49 O 124 as a novel intercalation-type M-Nb-O anode material . GaNb 49 O 124 microspheres (GaNbO-S) with an average diameter of ∼2 μm are fabricated through a hydrothermal method . Benefiting from the nanosized architecture, GaNbO-S delivers superior electrochemical performance in Li-ion batteries. A large reversible specific capacity of 294 mAh g −1 is obtained at 50 mA g −1 , while 205 mAh g −1 is reached at 4000 mA g −1 . Furthermore, GaNbO-S delivers long-term cycling life with a 72.0% capacity retention over 1800 cycles at 2000 mA g −1 . Thus, GaNb 49 O 124 microspheres could be developed as an efficient anode material for Li-ion batteries.

Composite electrolyte membranes with 3D nanofiber network structure, which can adjust internal stress to achieve cyclic stability, has been proved to play an important role in the cycle process of lithium metal batteries . However, its application is greatly impeded by the inherent instability interface. Here, we have created an excellent ion transport system through simple interface engineering design. The system weakens the interaction between PEO and Li + via a direct interfacial driving mechanism that establishes the ion bonds (Li-O/Zn-O) between LLZO/ZnO and PEO respectively, thereby achieving stable ion transport. As a result, Li | LPZ-5 CSE | Li battery displays highly stable Li plating/stripping cycling for over 1000 h at 0.1 mA cm −2 . In addition, lithium metal batteries (LMBs) based on LiFePO 4 cathode can stably cycle for 250 cycles with a specific capacity of 151.9 mAh g −1 (50 °C, 0.2 C). This work provides a straightforward and effective strategy that employs the stable ion transfer process at molecular-level to construct a self-supported membrane, which is positive to the development of long-cycle-life LMBs.

In this research, solid-liquid equilibrium for the ternary system (2-naphthaldehyde + o -phthalic anhydride + 1,4-dioxane) was measured at 283.15 K, 293.15 K and 303.15 K, respectively. Three isothermal phase diagrams of the system were plotted using the values of the experimental solubility. Pure 2-naphthaldehyde and o -phthalic anhydride were formed at (283.15, 293.15 and 303.15) K, and were determined by Schreinemaker’s wet residue method. The crystallization region of o -phthalic anhydride was found to be much larger than that of 2-naphthaldehyde at a certain temperature. The experimental solubility at multiple temperatures was correlated by the NRTL and Wilson models. The NRTL model was more accurate than the Wilson model in this system. The diagram of density versus component was also constructed.
