Academic literature on the topic 'Lignine sulfatée'

Chemoenzymatically synthesized low molecular weight lignin polymers have been previously found to be potent inhibitors of a number of serine proteases via allosteric mechanisms targeting heparin binding sites. Herein, we describe the creation of synthetic sulfated β-O4 lignin (SbO4L) polymer, which is more homogenous compared to previous lignins with respect to its inter-monomeric linkage. SbO4L is a selective inhibitor of thrombin and plasmin. SbO4L was found to act via a unique mechanism targeting thrombin exosite 2 in a manner similar to platelet glycoprotein Ibα (GPIbα). Advanced hemostasis and thrombosis assays demonstrated that SbO4L acts via a dual mechanism: as an anticoagulant, by allosteric inhibition of thrombin catalysis; and as an antiplatelet agent, by competing with platelet GPIbα. These mechanisms are comparable in potency to low molecular weight heparins currently used in the market, indicating that targeting exosite 2 may yield clinically useful drugs in the future. Since the β-O4 type lignin was found to be selective for thrombin and plasmin, we hypothesized that other scaffolds from lignins could be potent inhibitors of other serine proteases. In particular, we screened a library of synthetic sulfated small molecules against factor XIa – an emerging target for prophylactic anticoagulation. Our search identified a sulfated benzofuran trimer (a mimic of β-5 type linkage found in lignins) as a potent inhibitor of factor XIa. Surprisingly, this inhibitor did not compete with heparin. A plausible binding site in the A3 domain of factor XIa was proposed by using molecular modeling techniques. The binding pose demonstrated good correlation with the structure activity data from in vitro studies. Further confirmation that the apple domains were required was proved by testing the trimer against recombinant catalytic domain. A 40-fold decrease in activity was observed. A temperature-dependant perrin plot demonstrated that factor XIa undergoes a large conformational change in the presence of the trimer, which is possibly converting the enzyme back into the zymogen-like shape. In general, the synthetic sulfated lignins can act as a useful foundation to develop anticoagulant, antiplatelet, and anti-inflammatory molecules in the future.

Currently, with the technological innovation targeting the pulp and paper industries, it is increasingly importan t to obtain lignin in simple and economically viable way. In addition, it is very important to find conditions under which the proceedings begin minimum degradation into lignin structures. In this work, the concentrated liquor lignin from Kraft pulp proces s was precipitated in acid medium in different conditions of pH and variable times of exposure to acid conditions of precipitation. It was done later, ash analysis, calorific power, Scanning Electron Microscopy with X - ray Spectroscopy (SEM/EDS); Fourier Tr ansform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Ultraviolet - Visible Spectrophotometry precipitated (UV - VIS) for the characterization of the lignins and the filtered, for the characterization of the soluble fractions. A general analysis of the results showed that the best yield has occurred in 15 minutes of precipitation time for the pH of 6.71 (less acidic) among all employees. In the second test, the precipitations were performed at pH 2, 4 and 6 and with a time of 5 and 15 minutes, in which was got better yields and lower salt content in lignin. It has been applied statistical analysis in all the results, which many of them were considered equal. Thus, the best case was considered carried out at pH 6 at the time of 5 minutes , since it uses less hydrochloric acid are to perform precipitation. In parallel, it has been done tests to assess the possibility of separate fragments of lignin and sugars. The preliminary tests were conducted with phenol, simulating the lignin, and glucose, simulating the sugars. In order t o carry out this separation was used cellulose acetate Hydrogel as stationary phase in a preparative scale. In the first test conducted in a time of 30 minutes, it was possible to observe that there was a clear separation of phenol and glucose. In the seco nd test, in which the parameters were refined, like the elution time (55 minutes), it was possible to note a great improvement in the separation. The test of fractionation was carried out in order to simulate future tests to improve the conditions of ferme ntation of residual sugar produced by hydrolysis of cellulose waste involved in the production of second - generation ethanol.<br>Os processos de separação e isolamento da lignina kraft obtidas são pouco estudadas, uma vez que grande parte da lignina de licores obtidos industrialmente é queimado para recuperação de energia e fontes de carbono nos processos industriais. Atualmente, com a inovação tecnológica voltada para as indústrias de papel e celulose, torna - se cada vez mais importante a obtenção de lignina de forma simples e economicamente viável. Além disso, é muito importante que as condições do processo provoquem mínimas degradações nas estruturas da lignina. Neste trabalho, a lignina a partir da pasta de lixívia concentrada do processo kraft foi precipitada em meio ácido, em diferentes condições de pH e tempos de exposição variáveis a condições ácidas da precipitação. Posteriormente foi realizado análise de cinzas, poder calorífico, microscopia eletrônica de varredura com detector de energia dispersa de raio s - x (MEV/EDS), espectroscopia de infravermelho por transformada de Fourier (FTIR) e espectrofotometria no ultravioleta - visível (UV - VIS). Os precipitados foram empregados na caracterização das ligninas e os filtrados, na caracterização das frações solúveis. A análise geral dos resultados mostrou que o melhor rendimento ocorreu em 15 minutos de tempo de precipitação para o pH de 6,71 (menos ácida) entre todos os processos. No segundo teste as precipitações foram realizadas em pH 2, 4 e 6 e com tempo de 5 e 15 minutos, nas quais se obtiveram melhores rendimentos e menores teores de sais na lignina. Foi aplicada análise estatística em todos os resultados. A condição mais eficaz foi obtida em pH 6 no tempo de 5 minutos. Em paralelo, foram realiza dos os testes para avaliar a possibilidade de separação de fragmentos de lignina e açúcares. Os testes preliminares foram realizadas com fenol, simulando a lignina, e glicose, simulando os açúcares. Para realizar esta separação foi usado acetato de celulos e hidrogel como fase estacionária em uma escala preparativa. No primeiro teste realizado em um tempo de 30 minutos, foi possível verificar a separação de fenol e glicose. No segundo teste, em que os parâmetros foram refinados, como o tempo de eluição (55 minutos), foi possível ver uma grande melhoria na separação. O teste de fracionamento foi realizado, a fim de simular ensaios futuros para melhorar as condições de separação dos açúcares residuais produzidos pela hidrólise de resíduos de celulose envolvido na produção de etanol de segunda geração.

Les lignines sont des polymères naturels et renouvelables. C’est le polymère le plus abondant sur la terre après la cellulose. De nos jours, les lignines sont sous-exploitées et seulement 2 % de la lignine est valorisée par an, leur application capital restant comme combustible dans les industries papetières pour la production d'énergie. Au Québec, 130 000 tonnes de liqueur noire contenant de la lignine pourraient être extraites par an afin de les valoriser, sans perturber la production dans ces industries papetières. Sa valorisation pourrait contribuer à créer de nouveaux produits à valeur ajoutée tels que les biocomposites avec une matrice de polyéthylène, polystyrène recyclé ou encore le bois. Ces nouveaux produits de ces industries pourraient améliorer la situation économique dans ce domaine, mais aussi pourraient apporter de nouvelles connaissances dans le domaine des écomatériaux tout en contribuant à la diminution des gaz à effet de serre en favorisant le produit naturel contre le produit de synthèse. Les structures des lignines diffèrent selon certains paramètres (origine, le processus d'isolation ...). Dans ce projet, deux lignines Kraft seront précipitées à partir de liqueur noire de deux industries papetières québécoises en utilisant du dioxyde de carbone comme réactif. Ces lignines seront purifiées et comparées analytiquement à d’autres lignines; une lignine Kraft commerciale, une lignine pyrolytique et une lignine Protobind Soda 2400. Connaissant la structure des lignines, il sera plus facile de les modifier. Les lignines Kraft ont été estérifiées avec l'anhydride maléique et l'anhydride succinique et comparée aux lignines non modifiées par plusieurs techniques d'analyse telles que FT-IR, TGA, DSC, RMN. Les lignines Wayagamack maléatées et non maléatées ont été incorporées dans un biocomposite de polystyrène recyclé et les propriétés mécaniques et thermiques ainsi que la morphologie ont été étudiées. Les composites avec la lignine non modifié ont montré de bonnes propriétés mécaniques et thermiques par rapport au composite avec la lignine maléate où la lignine maléatée était pourtant compatible avec le polystyrène recyclé. Les lignines Windsor non estérifiée et succinate ont été utilisées en tant que liant dans un panneau de bois et leurs propriétés mécaniques ont également été étudiées. Les résultats ont montré les meilleures propriétés mécaniques pour le panneau de bois contenant de la lignine Kraft non modifié. Les réactions de condensation de la lignine Kraft au cours de la compression à chaud du panneau améliorerait la solidité du panneau contrairement à des réactions d'estérification qui pourraient avoir lieu entre la lignine estérifié et les hydroxyles de bois.

It is the most abundant polymer on the earth after cellulose. Nowadays, lignins are not fully exploited and only 2% of lignin is valorised per year, their principal application remaining as a combustible in pulp industries for energy production. In Quebec, 130000 tons of black liquor containing lignin could be available from Kraft industry, per year, in order to valorise them, without disturbing the mill production. Its valorisation could contribute to create new value added products like bio composites with a matrix of polyethylene, recycled polystyrene or even wood. These new products of these industries could improve the economic situation in this field, but also could bring new knowledge in the eco materials field, in contributing of the decrease of greenhouse gases in favoring the natural product against the synthetic product. Lignin structure is different depending on several parameters (origin, isolation process…). In this project, two Kraft lignins will be precipitated from black liquor of two Quebecoise paper industries using carbon dioxide as the reagent. These lignins will be purified and compared analytically to others lignins; one Kraft softwood commercial lignin, one pyrolytic lignin and one Soda lignin Protobind 2400. With the knowledge of the Kraft lignin structure, it will be easier to modify these lignins. The esterified Kraft lignins with maleic anhydride and succinic anhydride will be compared to the unmodified lignin according to several analytical technical as FT-IR, TGA, DSC, NMR. Maleated and non modified Wayagamack lignins were incorporated in biocomposite of recycled polystyrene and the mechanical and thermal properties and the morphology were studied. The composite with non modified lignin showed good mechanical and thermal properties compared to the composite with maleated lignin where the maleated lignin was still compatible with the recycled polystyrene The Windsor succinated and non modified lignin were used as a binder in a wood panel and their properties were also studied. The results showed the best mechanical properties for the wood panel containing non modified Kraft lignin. Condensation reactions of Kraft lignin during the hot-pressing of the panel improve the solidity of the panel unlike esterification reactions that could take place between esterified lignin and the wood hydroxyls. Key words: Black liquor, Lignin, Kraft process, Characterisation, Esterification, Composite, Valorization, Polystyrene, Wood.

A indústria de celulose utiliza cozinhadores, conhecidos como digestores, que são vasos de pressão onde os cavacos de madeira são tratados com licor de cozimento (hidróxido de s ódio e sulfeto de sódio) de composição determinada, a pressão e temperatura estabeleci das, visando a produção de polpa celulósica. Dentro deste contexto, os digestores podem ser classificados como contínuo (Kamyr) e descontínuo (Batch). O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar o processo de obtenção da polpa celulósica a partir da análise dos principais fenômenos fisico - químicos que ocorrem em um digestor kraft descontínuo. As predições a partir do modelo utilizado (Mirams e Nguyen, 1994) permitem a avaliação do comportamento dinâmico e a análise da sensibilidade paramétrica do processo, observando-se quais os parâmetros operacionais e as variáveis do processo que mais influenciam o comportamento do reator. O modelo do digestor descontínuo considera a difusão nos poros da madeira iniciada durante a impregnação dos cavacos. Outra característica do modelo é a sua adaptação de modo a considerar as reações de deslignificação como reações simultâneas de três diferentes tipos de lignina, sendo que a mais reativa reage mais rapidamente. Esta abordagem apresenta um novo ponto de vista para a teoria das três fases da reação, uma vez que seus resultados podem ser interpretados como se a reação de cada lignina fosse responsável por uma fase específica da reação (deslignificação inicial, principal e residual). Com relação à solução do modelo, esta foi baseada no Método das Linhas, a qual consiste na utilização do Método da Colocação Ortogonal para a discretização das equações parciais do modelo. A integração temporal das equações diferenciais ordinárias foi resolvida pelo integrador LSODE, (V asco de Toledo, 1999). Os resultados obtidos pelo modelo reproduziram as principais características dinâmicas do sistema, possibilitando compreender as etapas principais na obtenção da celulose sob determinadas condições operacionais do digestor. Isso permite a sua utilização para estudos de controle, otimização e projeto de reator descontínuos de forma segura e eficiente<br>Abstract: Global1y, the Kraft pulping process is beginning to get use of the benefits of the recent developments in the modeling area and process control. Advanced techniques of simulation and control offer tools that allow the analysis and efficient design of multivariable non-linear process, involving the optimization and the advanced control of the process. The pulp industry uses some equipment named digesters, which are pressure vessels where the chip of wood are treated with cooking liquor (sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide) with defined composition, established pressure and temperature, aiming to the cellulosic pulp production. In this context, the digesters can be c1assified as continuous (Kamyr) and discontinuous digester (Batch). The aim of this work is to study the production process of the cellulosic pulp from the analysis of the Physical-Chemical Phenomena that occur in a discontinuous kraft digester. The predictions from the considered model (Mirams e Nguyen, 1994) allow the evaluation of the dynamic behavior and the analysis of the parametric sensitivity of the process, observing which is the operational parameter and variable of process that influence the most reactor behavior. The model for a descontinuous digester considers the diffusion into the wood pores initiated during the impregnation of the chips. Another characteristic of the model is its adaptation in order to consider the delignification reactions as simultaneously reactions with three different types of lignin, with the most reactive lignin reacting more quickly. This approach present a new point of view for the theory of three phases of the reaction, interpreting its results as if the reaction qf each lignin was responsible for a specific phase of the reaction (initial delignification, bulk and residual). Regarding the solution of the model it was based on "Line Method", which consist on usaged of Orthogonal Collocation for discretization of the partial differential equations. The temporal integration of the ordinary differential equations was solved by integrator LSODE (Vasco de Toledo, 1999). The obtained results from the model reproduced the main dynamic characteristics of the system, making possible the knowledge of the main stages in the production of the cellulose under determined operational conditions of the digester. These results can them be used in control, optimization and design studies in a safe and efficient way<br>Mestrado<br>Desenvolvimento de Processos Químicos<br>Mestre em Engenharia Química

The herpes virus family consists of more than hundred members that infect organisms, of which eight, differing markedly in the biology are known to infect humans. HSV- I is the most common one, causing oral lesions and sporadic encephalitis. These infections are highly prevalent affecting at least one in three individuals in the United States.The entry of the herpes virus into the cell is a two-step process. The initial step involves the cell surface heparan sulfate and glycoproteins in the viral envelope which enables the virus to penetrate into the cell. The second step is the fusion step. Depending on the nature of interaction and size of HS chain, a single chain may bind multiple viral ligands on a virion. There is substantial evidence showing that HS plays an important role in viral binding.HS is a heterogeneous, linear sulfated oligosaccharide composed of alternating glucosamine and uronic acid residues, which could specify distinct receptor for various viral ligands. HS, present on most exposed cell surfaces, make an ideal snare for the capture of most herpes viruses and may facilitate subsequent interactions with other co-receptors required for entry. Number of viruses, including HSV- I, HSV- II, HIV- I and dengue virus use sites of HS as receptors for binding to cells. Recently 2000 Liu et.al have characterized a HS based octasaccharide that binds to HSV-I gD. The distinguished feature in the composition of the octasaccharide is the presence of 3-O-sulfate glucosamine residue, which is an uncommon structural modification in HS. Its presence in the HSV-I gD binding sequence may confer specificity of interaction and assist HSV-I entry into the cell.Numerous sulfated molecules have been explored as mimics of HS in the inhibition of HSV-1 entry into cells. To date, most of the sulfated molecules screened for anti-viral activity have been carbohydrates. So, we reasoned that it should be possible to mimic critical interactions of HS with one or more viral glycoprotein using synthetic, non-polysaccharide, sulfated compounds. Further, it may be possible to mimic specific sequence(s) in HS, which play a role in HSV infection, with small synthetic, sulfated, non-carbohydrate molecules. In a search for synthetic mimics of HS as inhibitors of HSV-I infection, we screened a small, synthetic, sulfated flavonoids to discover a potent inhibitory activity arising from sulfation of a macromolecule present as an impurity in a crude natural product.The active principle was identified through an array of biophysical and chemical analyses as lignin sulfate, a heterogeneous; polydisperse network polymer composed of substituted phenylpropanoid monomers. Further, LC-MS with APCI in negative ionization mode, which have been reported in here for the first time for analysis of lignin, has been successfully used to deduce oligomeric structures present in the precursor of the active macromolecule based on the spectrum of the depolymerized lignin. This corroborates well with the structural information obtained using other analytical techniques. We hypothesize that the structural heterogeneity and polydispersity of lignin coupled with optimal combination of sulfate charge and hydrophobicity result in high potency. Given that the native lignin is inactive, lignin sulfate discovered here provides a variety of organic scaffolds that with the critical sulfate groups in space can mimic the HSV-I gD binding sequence.

Anticoagulants are used as the first line therapy for management and prevention of thrombotic disorders. Thrombin and factor Xa have been the prime targets for regulation of the coagulation cascade. In this work, a small library of 17 benzofuran derivatives were synthesized and screened against thrombin and factor Xa. The derivatives that displayed inhibitory potential were docked on the exosite-II of factor Xa using a docking protocol that was developed in our research group. These compounds were based on the β-5 structural unit found in the oligomer -'CDSO3‘, which was prepared in our lab and was found to inhibit both thrombin and factor Xa by an exosite-II mediated allosteric disruption of the catalytic triad.The results revealed that these β-5 like derivatives are inhibitory against thrombin and factor Xa, although their potency is weak. Thrombin and factor Xa appear to recognize different structural features suggesting a significant selectivity in recognition. Furthermore, a slight preference for the benzofuran scaffold was observed with factor Xa. Probing the mechanism of inhibition using Michaelis-Menten kinetics reveal that these compounds display uncompetitive inhibition of these proteases and the mechanism of inhibition is allosteric. Docking of these compounds on factor Xa were done using GOLD (Genetic algorithm for ligand docking) and the results, explain the observed inhibition profile. The computed docked poses also give an idea of the residues on the exosite-II of factor Xa critical for inhibition. The molecules studied here are radically different in terms of structure and mechanism of inhibition from any other ligand described in literature. This represents an opportunity to discover novel molecules with a possibly different pharmacological and toxicological profile.
