Structural And Electronic Properties

AbstractIn this study, based on density functional theory, we propose a new branch of pseudo-fullerenes which contain triple bonds with sp hybridization. We call these new nanostructures fullerynes, according to IUPAC. We present four samples with the chemical formula of C4nHn, and the structures derived from fulleranes. We compare the structural and electronic properties of these structures with those of two common fullerenes and fulleranes systems. The calculated electron affinities of the sampled fullerynes are negative, and much smaller than those of fullerenes, so they should be chemically more stable than fullerenes. Although fulleranes also exhibit higher chemical stability than fullerynes, but pentagon or hexagon of the fullerane structures cannot pass ions and molecules. Applications of fullerynes can be included in the storage of ions and gases at the nanoscale. On the other hand, they can also be used as cathode/anode electrodes in lithium-ion batteries.

Acetylenic Fatty Acid

The fatty acids (±)-2-methoxy-6Z-heptadecenoic acid, (±)-2-methoxy-6-hepta-decynoic acid, and (±)-2-methoxyheptadecanoic acid were synthesized and their inhibitory activity against the Leishmania DNA topoisomerase IB enzyme (LdTopIB) determined. Both 2-OMe-17:1 fatty acids were synthesized from 4-bromo-1-pentanol, the olefinic fatty acid in 10 steps and in 7 % overall yield, while the acetylenic fatty acid in 7 steps and in 14 % overall yield. The 2-OMe-17:0 acid was prepared in 6 steps and in 42 % yield from 1-hexa-decanol. The 2-OMe-17:1 acids inhibited LdTopIB, with the acetylenic acid displaying an EC50 = 16.6 ± 1.1 μM, but the 2-OMe-17:0 acid did not inhibit LdTopIB. The (±)-2-methoxy-6Z-heptadecenoic acid preferentially inhibited LdTopIB over the human TopIB enzyme. Unsaturation seems to be a prerequisite for effective inhibition, rationalized in terms of weak intermolecular interactions between the active site of LdTopIB and either the double or triple bonds of the fatty acids. Toxicity toward Leishmania donovani promastigotes was also investigated, resulting in the order acetylenic > olefinic > saturated with the (±)-2-methoxy-6-heptadecynoic acid displaying an EC50 = 74.0 ± 17.1 μM. Our results indicate that α-methoxylation decreases the toxicity of C17:1 fatty acids toward L. donovani promastigotes, but improves their selectivity index.
