Objective To design and prepare 13 ,15-cycloimides chlorin p6 (1) ,a class of chlorin related antitumor photo-sensitizers ,which contain a more stable six-membered cyclic imide comparing to the exocyclic anhydride ring of purpurin-18 (2) .Compounds (1) exhibit strong absorption at long wavelengths near λmax 700 nm to take full advantage of greater tissue penetration .Methods Pheophorbide a (3) was obtained by acid hydrolysis of chlorophyll a ,which was from crude chlorophyll extracts of Chinese traditional herb named Silkworm excrement .Purpurin-18 (2) was prepared by air oxidation and alkali open loop simultaneously on five-membered beta-keto carboxylic ester ring of pheophorbide a (3) .Finally ,the target compounds 1a~1j were synthesized via condensation of its anhydride ring with various amines including carboxyl-protected amino acids . Results Target compounds 1a~1j were successfully synthesized in yields ranged from 32 .6% to 65 .2% .Their structures were confirmed by elemental analysis ,ESI-MS and 1 H NMR spectra .Conclusion Treatment of purpurin-18 (2) with amines can produce target compounds 1a~1j .The starting raw material was inexpensive and readily available .The reaction conditions were mild and workup was convinient .

Objective To observe the effects of enhanced exercise and combined vitamin D and calcium supplementation on muscular strength and fracture occurrence in postmenopausal women with a high risk of osteoporosis.Methods Totally 614 postmenopausal women at high risk factors of osteoporosis were enrolled in Dongcheng district of Beijing and randomized into four groups:group A(control group,n=173),group B(regular Tai Chi exercise,n=171),group C(calcium 600 mg/d+VitD800 U/d,n=139),and group D[calcium 600 mg/d+25 hydroxyl vitamin D(25OHD) 0.25 μg/d,n=131].Muscular strength was measured at baseline and one and two years after intervention.Bone turnover markers were measured at baseline and during the two-year follow-up.Falls and fractures were recorded.Results The incidence of 25OHD<50 nmol/L was approximately 92.6%.During the follow-up,the left grip strength decreased significantly two years after intervention(t=-3.252,P=0.001)in group A.Right grip strength decreased significantly in group B(t=2.460,P=0.015)while left grip strength improved significantly in group C(t=-2.051,P=0.043)one year after intervention.In group D,muscular strength in both 12-month and 24-month did not change compared with baseline(both P>0.05).Furthermore,serum procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide elevated significantly in group A(t=-2.962,P=0.004),group B(t=-2.888,P=0.005),and group C(t=-2.441,P=0.016),whereas β-C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen decreased significantly in group B(t=2.285,P=0.024)and group D(t=2.596,P=0.011)two years after intervention.Conclusion Enhanced exercise and combined calcium vitamin D supplementation may help sustain muscle strength in postmenopausal women,while calcium and vitamin D supplementation may improve muscular strength within a short period of time.
