Anti-Inflammatory and Burn Injury Wound Healing Properties of the Shell of Haliotis Diversicolor Chen et al. BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine (2016) 16:487 DOI 10.1186/s12906-016-1473-6 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Anti-inflammatory and burn injury wound healing properties of the shell of Haliotis diversicolor Zhi-Cheng Chen1, Shing-Yi Sean Wu2, Wei-Yang Su1, Yuan-Chuan Lin3, Yi-Hsin Lee1, Wei-Hao Wu1, Chun-Hong Chen4,5 and Zhi-Hong Wen1,4* Abstract Background: The shell of Haliotis diversicolor, or shijueming (SJM), is a type of traditional Chinese medicine. The SJM has appeared in historical records as early as the third and fourth centuries. Historical records have revealed that SJM had mainly been used to treat eye diseases. After the Qing Dynasty (1757), records had emerged, detailing the use of SJM for treating skin injuries, particularly for treating poorly managed ulcers or traumatic wounds. Furthermore, in our anti-inflammation-screening system, SJM significantly inhibited the expression of pro- inflammatory proteins. Previous studies have yet to adopt an animal model to verify the phenomenon and described in the historical records regarding the efficacy of SJM in promoting wound healing. Besides, the mechanism of wound healing effect of SJM is also not clear. Methods: This study applied in vitro and in vivo models, tissue section analysis, and western blotting to evaluate the effect of SJM on wound healing. The RAW 264.7 cells were used in anti-inflammatory activity assay and phagocytic assay. Male Wistar rats were used to evaluate the effect of SJM on burn injury healing. A copper block (2 × 2 cm, 150 g) preheated to 165 °C in a dry bath was used to contact the skin area for 10 s, thus creating a full-thickness burn injury. The results were analyzed by hematoxylin and eosin staining, picrosirius red staining and Western blotting. Results: The results revealed that in the in vitro model, the presence of SJM decreased the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression and enhanced the functions of macrophages. The results of the rat burn injury model revealed that SJM decreased neutrophil infiltration, promoted wound healing, thus increasing the collagen I content and promoting the expression of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) protein. We speculate that the effect and mechanism of SJM on promoting wound healing is related to macrophage activation. In the inflammation phase, SJM alleviates inflammation by inhibiting iNOS expression and removing neutrophils through phagocytosis. Furthermore, SJM induces the secretion of TGF-β1, converting collagen during the tissue remodeling phase. Conclusions: According to our review of relevant literature, this is the first study that applied an evidence-based method to verify that SJM alleviates inflammation, enhances phagocytosis, and triggers wound healing after burn injury. The study findings reveal that SJM provides a promising therapeutic option for treating burn injury.

Curran Paul E. Floreancig Richard D. McCullough Theodore Cohen Dissertation Director ii Advisor: Professor Theodore Cohen Sulfur Based Cyclizations by Intramolecular Carbometallation and Applications to Natural Product Syntheses Kai Deng, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2004 The versatility of intramolecular carbolithiation of simple unactivated alkenes to yield cyclopentylmethyllithiums by unconjugated organolithiums is greatly increased (1) by generating the organolithiums by reductive lithiation of phenyl thioethers with aromatic radical anions and (2) by using allylic alcohol groups on the receiving alkenes. This type of reductive lithiation allows virtually any kind of organolithium to be generated, usually in a connective manner. Furthermore, the allylic lithium oxyanionic groups on the alkenes greatly accelerate the reactions and lead, in most cases, to completely stereoselective cyclization at -78 °C. Most significantly, the trans stereoselectivity is the opposite from that observed when the organometallic is allylic. A four-membered ring has also been generated by this method. Using allyl phenyl sulfones instead of using allyl acetates as precursors of Pd-catalyzed allylzinc formation greatly facilitates the efficiency of substrate preparation. The resulting allylzinc smoothly undergoes the Zn-ene cyclization onto a simple alkene or an alkyne.

  • Revisiting Marine Bioprospecting of Tropical Indonesian Macroalgae from West Timor
    REVISITING MARINE BIOPROSPECTING OF TROPICAL INDONESIAN MACROALGAE FROM WEST TIMOR Turupadang, Welem Linggi A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Chemistry. Victoria University of Wellington 2018 Abstract Marine algae are an important and historically rich source of new marine-based natural products. This thesis describes the screening of 40 Indonesian macroalgal samples using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) based molecular networking, and the subsequent nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-guided isolation and structural elucidation of a 6-deoxy-6-aminoglycoglyrecolipid (60). Molecular networking was performed using LC-MS/MS data through the online Global Natural Product Social Molecular Networking (GNPS) platform directly from crude extracts. NMR spectroscopy-guided screening was also employed targeting unique peaks detected by 1H NMR to validate any hits from GNPS. Out of 40 macroalgae specimens collected from West Timor waters, six samples were prioritised by the molecular networking screening. Proton NMR revealed three specimens with significantly interesting peaks but only one specimen, Laurencia snackeyi was purified further, which yielded compound 60. i Acknowledgements I am humbly grateful to Abba Father throughout my study at Victoria University of Wellington, how much knowledge and experience that has been passed on by academics (especially during my formative year doing my graduate Diploma), fellow students and postgrads, as well as technicians over the past two-and-a-half year in the School of Chemical and Physical Sciences (SCPS). Thank you very much. My fabulous supervisor Dr Rob Keyzers, thank you for your guidance, patience and wisdom; also, for being a guru and mentor during my study; I benefit not only academically and through laboratory skills but also how you have inspired me to be a good teacher and serve students from different backgrounds.

Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction. In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion.

The chemical structures obtained from marine organisms are diverse, reflecting biodiversity of genes, species and ecosystems. Biodiversity is an extraordinary feature of life and provides benefits to humanity while promoting the importance of environment conservation. This review covers the literature on marine natural products (MNPs) discovered in Indonesian waters published from January 1970 to December 2017, and includes 732 original MNPs, 4 structures isolated for the first time but known to be synthetic entities, 34 structural revisions, 9 artifacts, and 4 proposed MNPs. Indonesian MNPs were found in 270 papers from 94 species, 106 genera, 64 families, 32 orders, 14 classes, 10 phyla, and 5 kingdoms. The emphasis is placed on the structures of organic molecules (original and revised), relevant biological activities, structure elucidation, chemical ecology aspects, biosynthesis, and bioorganic studies.
