Tuning of phonon anharmonicity in pyrochlore titanates: temperature-dependent Raman studies of Sm2Ti2-xZrxO7 (x=0, 1/2, 3/4, and 2)and stuffed spin-ice Ho2+xTi2-xO7-x/2 (x=0, 1/3, and 2/3)

Anomalous temperature dependence of Raman phonon wavenumbers attributed to phononphonon anharmonic interactions has been studied in two different families of pyrochlore titanates. We bring out the role of the ionic size of titanium and the inherent vacancies of pyrochlore in these anomalies by studying the effect of replacement of Ti4?+ by Zr4?+ in Sm2Ti2O7 and by stuffing Ho3?+ in place of Ti4?+ in Ho2Ti2O7 with appropriate oxygen stoichiometry. Our results show that an increase in the concentration of the larger ion, i.e. Zr4?+ or Ho3?+, reduces the phonon anomalies, thus implying a decrease in the phononphonon anharmonic interactions. In addition, we find signatures of coupling between a phonon and crystal field transition in Sm2Ti2O7, manifested as an unusual increase in the phonon intensity with increasing temperature.

Studies on Field Dependent Domain Structures in Multi-Grained 0.85PbMg(1/3)Nb(2/3)O3-0.15PbTiO(3) Thin Films by Scanning Force Microscopy

0.85PbMg(1/3)Nb(2/3)O(3)-0.15PbTiO(3) (0.85PMN-0.15PT) ferroelectric relaxor thin films have been deposited on La0.5Sr0.5CoO3/(111) Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si by pulsed laser ablation by varying the oxygen partial pressures from 50 mTorr to 400 mTorr. The X-ray diffraction pattern reveals a pyrochlore free polycrystalline film. The grain morphology of the deposited films was studied using scanning electron microscopy and was found to be affected by oxygen pressure. By employing dynamic contact-electrostatic force microscopy we found that the distribution of polar nanoregions is majorly affected by oxygen pressure. Finally, the electric field induced switching in these films is discussed in terms of domain wall pinning.

Regioselective synthesis and antimicrobial studies of ester linked 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-bistriazoles

A series of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-bistriazoles was synthesized via click chemistry by cycloaddition of various bisalkynes with benzyl/2-phenylethyl azide. Synthesized triazoles were characterized by IR, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR and mass spectral techniques. All the compounds were evaluated for antibacterial/antifungal activities and found to possess moderate to good antimicrobial activities. Further the docking study for the most active compound against DNA Gyrase was also carried out. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Sm(III)nitrate-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of furano3,2c]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines and DNA photocleavage studies

The synthesis and DNA photocleavage studies of furano3,2-c]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines have been reported. Sm(III)nitrate was found to be an efficient for the Diels-Alder reaction of aryl amines with 2,3-dihydrofuran to offer the corresponding furano3,2-c]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines derivatives as a mixture of cis/trans stereoisomers in moderate yields. The aqueous solubility of acid catalyst can be recycled without significant loss of activity. The DNA photocleavage studies shows that, the cis/trans stereoisomers are good DNA cleavage mimic in terms of molecular structure. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

2,3-Unsaturated enoses. A Pummerer rearrangement route to sugar vinyl sulfides and synthesis of 3-deoxy-3-alkyl/arylsulfinyl pyranosides

A Pummerer rearrangement of 2,3-dideoxy-3-alkyl/arylsulfinyl-arabino-hexopyranosides is reported. Treatment of sulfinyl-arabino-hexopyranoside derivatives, obtained through oxidation of the corresponding thio-derivatives, with trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA)/pyridine led to a facile formation of 2,3-dideoxy-3-alkyl/arylthio-hex-2-enopyranosides. Upon conversion of sugar vinyl sulfides to vinyl sulfoxides, conjugate addition reactions were conducted with alkoxides, to afford 3-deoxy-3-alkyl/arylsulfinyl pyranosides, in the manno-configuration exclusively. Whereas the conjugate addition reaction did not proceed with ether protecting groups, ester protecting groups and free hydroxyl groups in the sugar vinyl sulfoxide permitted the reaction.

Facial selectivities in the nucleophilic additions of 2,3-unsaturated 3-arylsulfinyl pyranosides

2,3-Unsaturated 3-arylsulfinyl pyranosides undergo nucleophilic additions at C-2, with facial selectivities depending on the nucleophile and the substituent on sulfinyl sulfur. The reactions of such sugar vinyl sulfoxides lead to the addition of nucleophile preferring an axial orientation at C-2, with concomitant formation of an allylic bond at C-3 to C-4. This trend in the addition pattern is observed for primary amine, carbon and sulfur nucleophiles, whereas secondary amines prefer an equatorial addition at C-2. The effect of p-tolylthio-versus (p-isopropylphenyl)thio vinyl sulfoxide is that the equatorial nucleophilic addition is preferred even more with the latter vinyl sulfoxide.

In vitro and in silico biological studies of novel thiazolo3,2-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate derivatives

In the present study, we report the synthesis, characterization of new series of thiazolo3,2-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate derivatives 3a-f and 4a-f. The newly synthesized compounds were screened for in vitro antimicrobial and antiviral activities. The probable mode of action of these active compounds was determined through in silico docking study by docking the receptor methionyl-tRNA synthetase and human inosine-5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) for antibacterial and antiviral activities, respectively. Among the compounds, 4c exhibited excellent in vitro antimicrobial activity against all tested strains with binding and docking energies -35.6 and -12.4 kcal/mol, respectively. The antiviral studies were carried out for the selected compounds in which 4a exhibited 73.69 and 54.42 % of inhibition of buffalopox and camelpox viruses, respectively. Furthermore, compound 4a showed minimum docking and binding energy along with the maximum hydrogen/hydrophobic interaction with IMPDH. The study contributes towards identification and screening of potential antimicrobial and antiviral agent's against the pathogens.

Antiproliferative and tumor inhibitory studies of 2,3 disubstituted 4-thiazolidinone derivatives

4-Thiazolidinone derivatives were synthesized using T3P (R)-DMSO media as a cyclodehydrating agent. All the molecules were tested for their cytotoxicity against leukemic cell lines. The compound 3-(4-bromophenyl)-2-(4-(dimethylamino)phenyl)thiazolidin-4-one (4e) with electron donating substituent at para position of phenyl ring displayed considerable cytotoxicity against Reh and Nalm6 cells with an IC50 value of 11.9 and 13.5 mu M, respectively. Furthermore, the compound 4e tested for tumor regression studies induced by EAC in Swiss albino mouse. Both in vitro and in vivo results suggested significant antiproliferative activity of compound 4e in Reh cells and mouse tumor tissue treated with compound 4e showed multifocal areas of necrosis and numerous number of apoptotic cells.

A measurement of the proton elastic form factors for 1 ≤ Q^2 ≤ 3 (GeV/c)^2

We report measurements of the proton form factors, G^p_E and G^p_M, extracted from elastic electron scattering in the range 1 ≤ Q^2 ≤ 3 (GeV/c)^2 with uncertainties of <15% in G^p_E and <3% in G^p_M. The results for G^p_E are somewhat larger than indicated by most theoretical parameterizations. The ratio of Pauli and Dirac form factors, Q^2(F^p_2/F^p_1), is lower in value and demonstrates less Q^2 dependence than these parameterizations have indicated. Comparisons are made to theoretical models, including those based on perturbative QCD, vector-meson dominance, QCD sum rules, and diquark constituents to the proton. A global extraction of the form factors, including previous elastic scattering measurements, is also presented.

Catechol 2,3-dioxygenase-assisted cleavage of aromatics by “anaerobic” termite gut spirochetes and genomic evidence of a complete meta-pathway

The termite hindgut microbial ecosystem functions like a miniature lignocellulose-metabolizing natural bioreactor, has significant implications to nutrient cycling in the terrestrial environment, and represents an array of microbial metabolic diversity. Deciphering the intricacies of this microbial community to obtain as complete a picture as possible of how it functions as a whole, requires a combination of various traditional and cutting-edge bioinformatic, molecular, physiological, and culturing approaches. Isolates from this ecosystem, including Treponema primitia str. ZAS-1 and ZAS-2 as well as T. azotonutricium str. ZAS-9, have been significant resources for better understanding the termite system. While not all functions predicted by the genomes of these three isolates are demonstrated in vitro, these isolates do have the capacity for several metabolisms unique to spirochetes and critical to the termite system’s reliance upon lignocellulose. In this thesis, work culturing, enriching for, and isolating diverse microorganisms from the termite hindgut is discussed. Additionally, strategies of members of the termite hindgut microbial community to defend against O₂-stress and to generate acetate, the “biofuel” of the termite system, are proposed. In particular, catechol 2,3-dioxygenase and other meta-cleavage catabolic pathway genes are described in the “anaerobic” termite hindgut spirochetes T. primitia str. ZAS-1 and ZAS-2, and the first evidence for aromatic ring cleavage in the phylum (division) Spirochetes is also presented. These results suggest that the potential for O₂-dependent, yet nonrespiratory, metabolisms of plant-derived aromatics should be re-evaluated in termite hindgut communities. Potential future work is also illustrated.

Photosensitized CIS-TRANS isomerization of 2,3-diphenylbutene-2 investigation of anomalous sensitizers for substituted Stilbene isometrization

The behavior of the photosensitized cis-trans isomerization of 2,3-diphenylbutene-2 was studied as a function of sensitizer energy by previously established methods. In addition, certain sensitizers for which parameters other than energy transfer are operative in inducting isomerizations, were studied in more detail. Sensitization of various stilbenes and substituted stilbenes by triphenylene is discussed in terms of excited state complex formation with stilbene. Sensitization by quinones, halogen-containing aromatics and 1,2-diketones is discussed in terms of attack by photolytically produced free radicals, either by addition to and elimination from the double bond, or in the cases of 1,2-diphenylpropene and 2,3-diphenylbutene-2, by hydrogen abstraction from one of the methyl groups and reversible abstraction by the allylic radical to produce cis-trans isomerized substrate and the structurally isomerized products, 2,3-diphenylpropene and 2,3-diphenylbutene-1.
