  • synthesis and antitumor activity of 2 5 bis 3 indolyl Furans and 3 5 bis 3 indolyl isoxazoles nortopsentin analogues
    Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry, 2010
    Co-Authors: Patrizia Diana, Anna Carbone, Paola Barraja, Gerhard Kelter, Heinzherbert Fiebig, Girolamo Cirrincione
    Abstract:

    Abstract A series of novel 2,5-bis(3′-indolyl)Furans and 3,5-bis(3′-indolyl)isoxazoles were synthesized as antitumor agents. The antiproliferative activity was evaluated in vitro toward diverse human tumor cell lines. Initially 5 isoxazoles and 3 Furan derivatives were tested against a panel of 10 human tumor cell lines and the most active derivatives 3c and 4a were selected to be evaluated in an extended panel of 29 cell lines. By exhibiting mean IC50 values of 17.4 μg/mL (3a) and 20.5 μg/mL (4c), in particular 4c showed a high level of tumor selectivity toward the 29 cell lines.

  • synthesis and characterization of thermosetting Furan based epoxy systems
    Macromolecules, 2014
    Co-Authors: John J La Scala, Joshua M Sadler, Giuseppe R Palmese
    Abstract:

    Renewable alternatives to petroleum-based thermosetting polymers have drawn significant attention due to potential positive economic and ecological impact. New materials should mimic the rigid, phenylic structure of incumbent high-performance thermoset monomers. Furans derived from cellulose and hemicellulose are promising candidates for phenyl replacement. The synthesis of Furan-based diepoxies is challenging, and direct property comparisons of thermosets prepared using Furanyl and phenyl-based epoxy monomer analogues are required. In this work, analogous Furanyl-based and phenyl-based diepoxy monomers were synthesized, and thermosets were prepared using amine curing agents. A structure–property study showed that Furan-based polymers possess improved Tg (Δ = 8–16 °C) and improved glassy modulus (Δ = 0.1 to 0.6 GPa) relative to their phenylic analogues. The Furan ring has thus been demonstrated to be a viable building block for renewable high-performance epoxies, with potential for application in other th...

  • room temperature self healing thermoset based on the diels alder reaction
    ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2013
    Co-Authors: Purnomo A Pratama, Amy M. Peterson, Majid Sharifi, Giuseppe R Palmese
    Abstract:

    A self-healing epoxy-amine thermoset based on the compatible functionalization of the thermoset and encapsulated healing agent has been successfully developed. Healing of the thermoset resulted from the reaction of Furans in the thermoset and multimaleimides (MMIs) in the healing agent solution. The healing agent, MMI dissolved in phenyl acetate, was encapsulated using a urea-formaldehyde encapsulation method. Autonomic healing of the thermoset was achieved by incorporating microcapsules filled with the healing agent solution within a Furan-functionalized epoxy-amine thermoset. The resulting self-healing thermoset recovered 71% of its initial load after fracture.

  • formation of Furan and methylFuran by maillard type reactions in model systems and food
    Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2008
    Co-Authors: Anita Limacher, Josef Kerler, Tomas Davidek, Frank Schmalzried, Imre Blank
    Abstract:

    The formation of Furan and 2-methylFuran was studied in model systems based on sugars and selected amino acids. Both compounds were preferably formed under roasting conditions in closed systems yielding up to 330 µmol of Furan and 260 µmol of 2-methylFuran per mol of precursor. The amounts obtained under pressure cooking conditions were much lower, usually below 20 µmol/mol, except for 2-furaldehyde, which yielded 70−100 µmol/mol of Furan. Labeling studies indicated two major formation pathways for both Furans: (i) from the intact sugar skeleton and (ii) by recombination of reactive C2 and/or C3 fragments. Under roasting conditions in the absence of amino acids, Furan was mainly formed from the intact sugar skeleton. Formic and acetic acid were identified as byproducts of sugar degradation, indicating the split off of C1 and/or C2 units from hexoses. The presence of alanine, threonine, or serine promoted Furan formation by the recombination of C2 fragments, such as acetaldehyde and glycolaldehyde, which m...

Under roasting conditions in the absence of amino acids, Furan was mainly formed from the intact sugar skeleton. Formic and acetic acid were identified as byproducts of sugar degradation, indicating the split off of C(1) and/or C(2) units from hexoses. The presence of alanine, threonine, or serine promoted Furan formation by the recombination of C(2) fragments, such as acetaldehyde and glycolaldehyde, which may originate from both sugars and amino acids. In aqueous solution, about half of Furan was generated by the recombination of sugar fragments. 2-MethylFuran was preferably formed in the presence of amino acids by aldol-type reactions of C(2) and C(3) fragments with lactaldehyde as a key intermediate, the Strecker aldehyde of threonine. The total Furan levels in cooked vegetables were increased by spiking with hexoses. However, in pumpkin puree, only about 20% of Furan was formed from sugars, preferably from the intact carbon skeleton.
