Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi is a South American plant with medicinal properties. We report the extraction of compounds from S. terebinthifolius fruits using supercritical CO2 (scCO(2)), with emphasis on the effects of scCO2 pressure (100-300 bar) and temperature (40-60 degrees C) on global yield, volatile compounds, and antiproliferative activity against nine human tumor cell lines. Supercritical extracts obtained at 50-60 degrees C, independently of pressure, showed potent activity against kidney cancer with total growth inhibition < 3.9 mu g/mL. Furthermore, extracts obtained at 200 bar and 50 degrees C showed potent activity against multidrug-resistant ovarian, prostate, and ovarian tumor cell lines, and glioma. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry revealed the following volatile compounds: delta-3-carene, alpha-phellandrene, limonene, germacrene D, and caryophyllene. The results suggest that sesquiterpenes may be the metabolites responsible for the antiproliferative activity. However, future work involving fractionation of the extracts might shed light on the chemical compounds responsible for each anti proliferative activity.

The strategy involves combining bioactive ligands and metals to search for new and improved antiproliferative agents. The copper complex (Cu-Nap) has a binuclear paddle-wheel structure, while the platinum complex (Pt-Nap) has a square planar cis-[Pt(Nap)(2)(DMSO)(2)] isomer. Both complexes were inactive against bacteria but showed different activity against tumor cells.

Influence of chemical composition on the properties and foamability with supercritical CO2 in thermoplastic polythiourethanes

P. Belmonte, J. M. Garcia-Vargas, J. F. Rodriguez, I. Garrido, M. T. Garcia, M. J. Ramos

Summary: In this study, four polythiourethane films with different types of polyols and isocyanates were synthesized, characterized, and foamed. The results showed that the type of isocyanate greatly influenced the crystallinity and stiffness of the polymers, while the type of polyol modified the FT-IR spectra and the decomposition curve of the material with temperature. Furthermore, the choice of isocyanate also affected the properties of the foams obtained from the polymeric material.

Experimental investigation on hydrodynamic characteristics of 1,1,1,2-tet- rafluoroethane (R134a) in a horizontal tube at supercritical pressures

Xutao Zhu, Jianguo Yan, Shouchun Liu, Fengling Zhu

Summary: This study experimentally assessed the hydrodynamic characteristics of supercritical-pressure R134a in a horizontal circular tube. It was found that the hydrodynamic characteristic curve of R134a under supercritical pressure does not have a negative-slope region but a transition region. The transition region becomes more evident with increasing heat flux, while it weakens with increasing pressure and inlet temperature. Moreover, the onset of the transition region shifts in the direction of high mass flow rate with increasing heat flux.

Bio-refinery of brewery spent grain utilizing natural deep eutectic solvent-induced subcritical water

Vikash Chandra Roy, Jin-Seok Park, Ahmed Redwan Haque, Md Sadek Ali, Hee-Jeong Lee, Byung-Soo Chun

Summary: This research aimed to valorize brewery spent grain (BSG) using subcritical water hydrolysis (SWH) modified by six different natural deep eutectic solvents (DES) and determining their bipotentialities. The findings showed that BSG hydrolysates obtained through DES-induced SWH contained high levels of sugars, proteins, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, and essential amino acids. The hydrolysates also demonstrated antimicrobial activities, and the presence of bioactive compounds was confirmed through FT-IR analysis. This comprehensive profiling of bioactive compounds from BSG using DES-mediated SWH can contribute to the efficient valorization of BSG for industrial purposes.
