Research progress on deep eutectic solvents in extraction of Chinese materia medica ingredients / 中草药

Traditional solvents have the shortcomings of toxic, easy to cause environmental pollution, volatile and low extraction rate. In recent years, there have been a lot of researches focusing on deep eutectic solvents (DESs) studies in the field of Chinese materia medica (CMM), especially in the extraction of active ingredients and improvement of stability of unstable compounds. This paper mainly reviews and sorts out the researches on DESs in the field of CMM reported at home and abroad in recent years, so as to provide references for the application of DESs in the field of CMM in the future.

[Analysis on the disease burden and its impact factors of coal worker's pneumoconiosis inpatients].

OBJECTIVE: To obtain the baseline data and decision of quantitative analysis for the allocation of scarce health care resources,and for the health policymaking about easing the disease burden, to provide estimation of the economic costs and the disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) loss of the coal worker's pneumoconiosis (CWP) and to explore the influencing factors of the disease burden. METHODS: The CWP inpatients from the Institute of Occupational Diseases Prevention and Control of a Coal Mining Group for 2011 were recruited in the study. Multiple dimensions of the disease burden were measured in the inception cohort of the 194 CWP inpatients: the direct economic burden, the indirect economic burden and the DALYs loss. The direct economic burden of the inpatients included hospitalization expenses and food allowances and nutritional supplements. The indirect economic burden was estimated using the DALYs and human capital approach,and the influencing factors of hospitalization expenses were analyzed in this study. RESULTS: The estimated direct economic burden for the 194 CWP inpatients for 2011 was approximately 4.68 million yuan and direct burden per capita was 24 108.05 yuan, and their indirect burden about 6.98 million yuan and indirect burden per capita 35 977.36 yuan. The study discovered that 1 681.53 health years were lost for the CWP inpaitents and per capita health years loss (8.67±3.65) years. CONCLUSION: The medical cost, the indirect cost and the DALYs loss of CWP are all sizable. Age and length of stay in the hospital are the major influencing factors for high hospitalization expenses. The hospitalization expenses of the CWP inpatients increase with their age and length of stay in the hospital. Taking effective measures to reduce the morbility is the key point to reduce the CWP burden.

Erratum: 4-[(Z)-(2-Fur-yl)(2-naphthyl-amino)methyl-ene)]-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one. Corrigendum.

The title of the paper by Li, Li, Li, Zhang & Li [Acta Cryst. (2009), E65, o1824] is corrected.[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1107/S1600536809025586.].

4-[(Z)-(2-Fur-yl)(2-naphthyl-amino)methyl-ene)]-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one.

The title compound, C(25)H(19)N(3)O(2), crystallizes as discrete mol-ecules which are well ordered through one intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond. Structural analysis indicates that the mol-ecules exist as the amine-one form.

[Synthesis and spectral characterization of rare earth complexes of acylpyrazolone-beta-alanine].

In non-aqueous solvent, a new amino-acid schiff base, 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl pyrazolone-5-beta-alanine (HL) was synthesized by a reaction of beta-alanine with benzoylpyrazolone, and its ten rare earth complexes were obtained from refluxing a solution of schiff base and rare earth nitrates. On the basis of elemental analysis and molar conductance, the general formula of the complexes, [REL2NO3] nH2O (RE=La, Sm, Eu, Tb, Y, n=2; RE=Pr, Nd, n = 1; RE=Dy, Er, Yb, n=3), is given. These were characterized by IR, UV-Visible, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and fluorescence. The results show that the schiff base is a tridentate ligand, and the rare earth ions exhibit a coordination of eight in the complexes. In visible spectra, the supersensitive transitions of the Er complex at 522 nm (4 I15/2 -->2 H11/2, 4 S3/2 ) and that of the Nd complex at 573, 584 nm (4I9/2 -->2 G7/2 + 4G5/2) can be observed. Fluorescence of the complexes was produced principally by f-f transition of central ion RE3+, and the ligand has little influence on lightening role. The order of relative intensity of fluorescence of the complexes is ITb > ISm > IEu > IDy.

[Synthesis, spectral characterization and bioactivity of complexes of furoylpyrazolone-thiosemicarbazone].

A new Schiff base containing sulphur, 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(alpha-furoyl) pyrazolone-5-thiosemicarbazone (HL) and its Zn(II), Cd(II) and Co(II) complexes have been synthesized. On the basis of elemental analysis and molar conductance, the general formulae of the complexes, [ZnL2] x 1.5H2O, [CdL2] x C2H5OH and [CoL2] x H2O, were given. They were characterized by IR, UV-Visible, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and magnetic moments. The results show that the metal ions exhibit coordination of six in the complexes. The antibacterial experiments indicate that they have high antibacterial activities against S. aureus, B. subtilis, E. coli, E. carotovora, and C. flaccumfaciens.

The results show that the bis-schiff base is a quadridentate ligand and the nitrate a bidentate ligand, and the uranyl and thorium ions exhibit coordination of six and eight in the complexes, respectively.
