RESUMEN
In this work, to enhance the fluorescence quantum yield of carbon dots (CDs), a novel metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) structure was designed by decorating CDs on silver nanoparticle (AgNPs) film. The glass slide-AgNPs (GS-AgNPs) structure was fabricated using the electrostatic adsorption method, and the AgNPs-CDs structures were prepared by the direct drying method, which then formed the GS-AgNPs-CDs composite structure. In this structure, the MEF effect was found to be size dependent by changing the 5 types of AgNPs with different sizes. And the MEF effect also decreased as the distance between the AgNPs and CDs increased by using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to separate the AgNPs and CDs. This hybrid structure can be used as a fluorescence detection platform and the recorded fluorescence intensity of GS-AgNPs 428 nm-CDs achieved a maximum enhancement factor (EF) of 31.72. Considering the high enhancement factor, this system may become promising to find potential applications in biochemical assay fields.
RESUMEN
Six new ent-abietane diterpenoids, abientaphlogatones A-F (1-6), along with two undescribed ent-abietane diterpenoid glucosides, abientaphlogasides A-B (7-8) and four known analogs were isolated from the aerial parts ofPhlogacanthus curviflorus (P. curviflorus). The structures of these compounds were determined using high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS), one-dimensional and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra, and quantum chemical calculations. Notably, compounds 5 and 6 represented the first reported instances of ent-norabietane diterpenoids from the genus Phlogacanthus. In the ß-hematin formation inhibition assay, compounds 2, 4, 7-10, and 12 displayed antimalarial activity, with IC50 values of 12.97-65.01 µmol·L-1. Furthermore, compounds 4, 5, 8, and 10 demonstrated neuroprotective activity in PC12 cell injury models induced by H2O2 and MPP+.
