Efficient synthesis and biological evaluation of some 2,4-diamino-furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives.

The carbodiimides 2, obtained from aza-Wittig reactions of iminophosphorane 1 with aromatic isocyanates, reacted with ammonia to give ethyl 3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-4-oxo-2-arylamino-furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-5-carboxylate 3. Further reaction of 3 with POCl(3) and various amines generated ethyl 4-alkylamino-2-arylamino-6-methyl-furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-5-carboxylate 5 in good yields. Their structures were confirmed by (1)H NMR, EI-Ms, IR and elemental analysis. Compound 5b was further analyzed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 5 exhibited cytotoxicity against two lung cancer cell lines. For example, compound 5a showed the best inhibition activities against A459 with IC(50) 0.8µM.

ICSI treatment of severe male infertility can achieve prospective embryo quality compared with IVF of fertile donor sperm on sibling oocytes.

Azoospermia, cryptozoospermia and necrospermia can markedly decrease the ability of males to achieve pregnancy in fertile females. However, patients with these severe conditions still have the option to be treated by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) to become biological fathers. This study analyzed the fertilization ability and the developmental viabilities of the derived embryos after ICSI treatment of the sperm from these patients compared with in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment of the proven-fertile donor sperm on sibling oocytes as a control. On the day of oocyte retrieval, the number of sperm suitable for ICSI collected from two ejaculates or testicular sperm extraction was lower than the oocytes, and therefore, excess sibling oocytes were treated by IVF with donor sperm. From 72 couples (73 cycles), 1117 metaphase II oocytes were divided into 512 for ICSI and 605 for IVF. Compared with the control, husbands' sperm produced a lower fertilization rate in nonobstructive azoospermia (65.4% vs 83.2%; P< 0.001), crytozoospermia (68.8% vs 75.5%; P< 0.05) and necrospermia (65.0% vs 85.2%; P< 0.05). The zygotes derived in nonobstructive azoospermia had a lower cleavage rate (96.4% vs 99.4%; P< 0.05), but the rate of resultant good-quality embryos was not different. Analysis of the rates of cleaved and good-quality embryos in crytozoospermia and necrospermia did not exhibit a significant difference from the control. In conclusion, although the sperm from severe male infertility reduced the fertilization ability, the derived embryos had potential developmental viabilities that might be predictive for the expected clinical outcomes.

[Population structure of endangered Monimopetalum chinense and its relationships with environmental factors].

Based on the field investigation data obtained from the typical plots of four community types, i. e. , secondary shrub, Phyllostachys edulis forest, Cunninghamia lanceolata forest, and Pinus massoniana forest, in the Zongli Village of Qimen County in Anhui Province, this paper studied the mean basal diameter and structure of Monimopetalum chinense population, and the effects of environmental factors on the population characteristics. The results showed that the mean basal diameter of M. chinense in the communities was in the order of P. edulis forest > P. massoniana forest > C. lanceolata forest > secondary shrub, and significantly larger in the two former forests than in the others (P < 0.05). The population structure of M. chinense also differed with habits. In secondary shrub and P. massoniana forest, the structure was a aptypical pyramid-like form, suggesting that the population was stable; in P. edulis forest, it was a spindle type, indicating that the population was at the early stage of declining; whereas in C. lanceolata forest, it was a typical pyramid-like form, with most young individuals in the population. The survival curve of the whole population belonged to Deevey II, suggesting that the population was in developing tendency with no declination. M. chinense preferred the sites with low altitude, high soil moisture and organic matter contents, gentle slope, and high coverage of tree layer; while frequent human disturbance decreased its natural regeneration and stability. Based on the results obtained, some preliminary protection suggestions were proposed.
