Measurement of orientation distributions using chemical shift amplification.

Solid State Nucl Magn Reson

School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Nottingham, University Park, Nottingham, NG7 2RD, United Kingdom.

Published: February 2003

A new three-dimensional magic angle spinning (MAS) experiment is proposed, based on a combination of the two-dimensional rotor-synchronized MAS experiment of Spiess and co-workers and a new chemical shift anisotropy amplification method. The new experiment is demonstrated on a macroscopically ordered sample of ultra-high molecular weight poly(ethylene).

There is an urgent need for mechanistically novel and more efficacious treatments for schizophrenia, especially those targeting negative and cognitive symptoms with a more favorable side-effect profile. Drug repurposing-the process of identifying new therapeutic uses for already approved compounds-offers a promising approach to overcoming the lengthy, costly, and high-risk process of traditional CNS drug discovery. This review aims to update our previous findings on the clinical drug repurposing pipeline in schizophrenia.

Due to the non-renewable nature of petroleum resources, there has been a notable shift toward utilizing biomass materials to confer flame retardant properties to cotton fabrics. However, endow solely with single function cannot meet the application requirements across various fields. Therefore, there is considerable impetus to develop multifunctional cotton fabrics integrating flame retardant, antimicrobial, and hydrophobic properties sourced from biomass.

Department of Natural Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacognosy, School of Pharmacy, Qingdao University, Qingdao 266071, People's Republic of China.

A bioassay-guided chemical investigation of the endophytic fungus F5 resulted in the discovery of two novel sesquiterpenes, chamilactones A and B ( and ), with a new 9,10-seco-15--isoilludalane carbon skeleton, together with several biosynthetically related precursors (-). Their structures and absolute configurations were elucidated by the analysis of MS, NMR, calculated C chemical shifts, ECD calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. It was proposed that an unprecedented carbon-carbon bond cleavage between C-9 and C-10 in - was the key step in the biosynthetic pathway of and .
