Abstract:
Under visible light illumination, 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAPN) was generated from the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine (OPDA) in Fe3+/H 2O2 solution.Hydroxyl radical (·OH) produced in this system was determined by directly measuring the concentration of DAPN.In comparison with the traditional methods, the determination is more accurate and simple.

Abstract:
28-Carboxymethoxy lupane tritepenoids 3 and 4 were synthesized by alkylation of betulin with the THP protected 2-hydroxyethyl iodide followed by oxidation and reduction.Direct reaction of betulin (5) or betulone (10) with ethyl bromoacetate led to 28-O-acylation, instead of 28-O-alkylation.The targeted compounds 3 and 4 were not cytotoxic at the highest concentrationtested (75 mmol/L), suggesting that elongation of the chain length at the 28-position in both betulinic acid (1) and betulonic acid (2)was detrimental to the cytotoxicity.The acylation products 28-O-bromoacetates (8a, 8b and 11) and 28-O-methoxyacetate 13exhibited cytotoxicity against several cancer cell lines tested.
