SummaryCarboni 1-labeled HCN was collected in methanol containing carrier NaCN following bombardment of 99% N2 - 1 % H2 with 22 MeV protons. Ten new N-alkyl-p-iodobenzenesulfonamides were synthesized and labeled with 11C in radiochemical yields averaging 27 % by condensation of p-iodobenzenesulfonyl chloride with the 11C-labeled aliphatic amine obtained by reduction of the intermediate 11C-labeled aliphatic nitrile prepared from Na 11CN and the corresponding alkyl bromide. They were chemically characterized and for nine of them the relationship between their molecular structure and their in vivo-distribution in rats was studied. As the length of the alkyl chain was increased from 2 to 8 carbon atoms, the early concentration of activity in most viscera decreased and the urinary excretion increased. Within this range, chains containing an even number of carbon atoms showed greater early tissue concentration of activity than did chains containing an odd number of carbon atoms. For alkyl chains containing greater than 8 carbon atoms the concentration of activity in some tissues increased and urinary excretion decreased. A possible explanation for the results is offered which postulates that early tissue concentration of activity is related to both total lipophilicity of the sulfonamide as well as to the presence of tissue sulfonamide binding sites whose preferred conformation results in hindered binding of sulfonamides with odd-numbered aliphatic chains to a greater extent than with even-numbered aliphatic chains.

Plants rely on both actin and microtubule cytoskeletons to fine-tune sorting and spatial targeting of membranes during cell growth and stress adaptation. Considerable advances have been made in recent years in the comprehension of the relationship between the trans-Golgi network/early endosome (TGN/EE) and cytoskeletons, but studies have mainly focused on the transport to and from the plasma membrane. We address here the relationship of the cytoskeleton with different endoplasmic reticulum (ER) export mechanisms toward vacuoles. These emergent features of the plant endomembrane traffic are explored with an in vivo approach, providing clues on the traffic regulation at different levels beyond known proteins’ functions and interactions. We show how traffic of vacuolar markers, characterized by different vacuolar sorting determinants, diverges at the export from the ER, clearly involving different components of the cytoskeleton.

The chemical modifications of lignin-based superplasticizers have attracted extensive attentions during recent years. The comprehending of the structure-activity relationship of lignin-based superplasticizer is important to promote the modification and application research of lignin resources. However, lignin features complex and variable molecular structure, which is not conducive to study on structure-activity relationship of lignin-based superplasticizer as well as development and application of new lignin-based superplasticizer. However, the related research work can be simplified by selecting small molecular compound with appropriate molecular structure as the lignin model compound. This article intends to study the structure-activity relationship of lignin-based superplasticizer by using dihydroeugenol as the lignin model compound. Through the substitution of lignin by dihydroeugenol during the synthesis process, a model compound lignin-based superplasticizer (DAFS) was synthesized. The adsorption and dispersion properties of this superplasticizer and reference sample (LAFS) were investigated by fluidity test, Zeta-potential measurement, Total organic carbon analysis and others. The results suggest that the adsorption behavior of both DAFS and LAFS conformed to the Langmuir isotherms and Pseudo-second order kinetic. In cement paste, added with 1 g/L of LAFS and DAFS, Zeta potential were reduced from +3.5 to −15.2 mV and −18.7 mV, respectively. The substitution of lignin by dihydroeugenol has no significantly influence on the dispersive property, but differences on rheological properties which need to be optimized in the future. All the tests confirmed that dihydroeugenol is suitable to replace lignin on exploring the structure-activity relationship of lignin-based superplasticizer. This research work provides new insight on model study of lignin-based superplasticizer.
