Staudinger Reaction

Experimental and computational studies reveal the importance of isomerization pathways in the Staudinger reaction between ketenes and imines. In the studied cases, the stereochemistry is determined by the pre-cycloaddition isomerization step.

Background: Syzygium densiflorum Wall. ex Wight & Arn (Myrtaceae) has been traditionally used by the local tribes of the Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu, India, for the treatment of diabetes. Objective: This study aimed to isolate the major phytoconstituents from the S. densiflorum fruits and to perform computational studies for chemical reactivity and biological activity of the isolated compound. Materials and Methods: Two different compounds were isolated from ethanolic extract of S. densiflorum fruits and purified using HPLC. The structures of the compounds were elucidated on the basis of their 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 1H-1H COSY, HMBC, HRESIMS, and FT-IR data. Further, the chemical reactivity of the compounds was analyzed by density functional theory calculations and its therapeutic role in diabetic management was examined by comparing the structure of isolated compounds with previously reported bioactive compounds. Results: Of the two compounds ((6,6 & 1-kestopentaose (1) and 6-(hydroxymethyl)-3-[3,4,5- trihydroxy- 6-[(3,4,5-trihydroxyoxan-2-yl)oxymethyl]oxan-2-yl]oxyoxane-2,4,5-triol)(2)). β-glucosidase, β-galactosidase, α-glucosidase and β-amylase inhibition activity of the compounds were predicted by structure activity relationship. Conclusion: Structure-activity relationship analysis was performed to predict the therapeutic role of isolated compounds. These computational studies may be performed to minimize the efforts to determine the therapeutic role of natural compounds.

Biomechanical Response

Clearer understanding of the biomechanics of the pubic symphysis in lateral pelvic impact tests may serve to elucidate the mechanisms of injury in automotive side impacts. While numerous experimental and computational studies have been conducted on the human pelvis, stresses and deformations of the symphysis were never measured, and the role of the boundary conditions supporting the pelvis was not emphasized. The objective of the present study was to develop a biofidelic FE model to investigate the deformations and stresses experienced by the pubic ligaments and interpubic disc under side impact conditions simulating both drop tower experiments and automotive side impacts.

At the molecular level biology is intrinsically noisy. The forces that regulate the myriad of molecular reactions in the cell are tiny, on the order of piconewtons (10−12 Newtons), yet they proceed in concerted action making life possible. Understanding how this is possible is one of the most fundamental questions biophysicists would like to understand. Single molecule experiments offer an opportunity to delve into the fundamental laws that make biological complexity surface in a physical world governed by the second law of thermodynamics. Techniques such as force spectroscopy, fluorescence, microfluidics, molecular sequencing, and computational studies project a view of the biomolecular world ruled by the conspiracy between the disorganizing forces due to thermal motion and the cosmic evolutionary drive. Here we will digress on some of the evidences in support of this view and the role of physical information in biology.
