Preparation and properties of crystalline biliverdin IX alpha. Simple methods for preparing isomerically homogeneous biliverdin and [14C[biliverdin by using 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone.

ABSTRACT: Amorphous isomerically pure biliverdin IX alpha is readily prepared in more than 70% yield by dehydrogenation of bilirubin with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone in dimethyl sulphoxide under carefully controlled conditions. Crystalline biliverdin IX alpha and amorphous [14C]biliverdin can be obtained similarly in more than 40+ yield. The pure crystalline pigment was characterized by elemental analysis, methylation, chemical and enzymic reduction to bilirubin, i.r.- and u.v.-visible-absorption spectroscopy, n.m.r. spectroscopy and field-desorption mass spectrometry, and its solubility was determined. Under certain conditions, dehydrogenation, gave biliverdin contaminated with III alpha and XIII alpha isomers as a result of disproporationation of bilirubin. Formation of non-IX alpha isomers depends on the concentrations of the reagents and the order in which they are mixed, and occurs under neutral anaerobic conditions. Free-radical reactions probably are responsible, suggesting that the first step in the deydrogenation of bilirubin with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone in dimethyl sulphoxide is formation of a bilirubin cation radical, rather than hydride ion abstraction.

2,3-Dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone-catalyzed reactions employing MnO2 as a stoichiometric oxidant.

Project description:Several oxidative reactions can be effected with MnO(2) in the presence of substoichiometric quantities of DDQ. These transformations include oxidative cyclization, deprotection, and dehydrogenation reactions. The use of MnO(2) as a terminal oxidant for DDQ-mediated reactions is attractive based on economical and environmental factors.

Selective oxidation of benzylic and allylic alcohols using Mn(OAc)3/catalytic 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone.

Project description:A practical, chemoselective oxidation of alcohols employing catalytic quantities of DDQ as the oxidant and Mn(OAc)(3) as the co-oxidant is described. Electron-rich benzylic alcohols are oxidized efficiently to their corresponding carbonyls, but less electron-rich benzylic alcohols remain unchanged. Allylic alcohols are rapidly oxidized to their corresponding aldehyde or ketone counterparts in high yields. This protocol is operationally simple, employs an inexpensive source of Mn(OAc)(3), has short reaction times, and exhibits a significant chemoselectivity favoring allylic alcohols over benzylic alcohols. This procedure also avoids the use of very large excesses of reagents and sometimes poor reproducibility that characterize previously developed reagents such as MnO(2).

Charge Transfer Complexes of Ketotifen with 2,3-Dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone and 7,7,8,8-Tetracyanoquodimethane: Spectroscopic Characterization Studies.

Project description:The reactions of ketotifen fumarate (KT) with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (DDQ) and 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) as π acceptors to form charge transfer (CT) complexes were evaluated in this study. Experimental and theoretical approaches, including density function theory (DFT), were used to obtain the comprehensive, reliable, and accurate structure elucidation of the developed CT complexes. The CT complexes (KT-DDQ and KT-TCNQ) were monitored at 485 and 843 nm, respectively, and the calibration curve ranged from 10 to 100 ppm for KT-DDQ and 2.5 to 40 ppm for KT-TCNQ. The spectrophotometric methods were validated for the determination of KT, and the stability of the CT complexes was assessed by studying the corresponding spectroscopic physical parameters. The molar ratio of KT:DDQ and KT:TCNQ was estimated at 1:1 using Job's method, which was compatible with the results obtained using the Benesi-Hildebrand equation. Using these complexes, the quantitative determination of KT in its dosage form was successful.

2,3-Dichloro-pyridine.

Project description:The complete mol-ecule of the title compound, C(5)H(3)Cl(2)N, is generated by crystallographic twofold symmetry, which forces the pyridine N atom and the opposite C-H group to be statistically disordered. In the crystal, weak aromatic π-π stacking [centroid-centroid separation = 3.805 (4) Å and slippage = 1.704 Å] leads to [100] stacks of mol-ecules. Short Cl⋯Cl contacts [3.334 (3) Å] are also observed.

To Prevent Oxidative Stress, What about Protoporphyrin IX, Biliverdin, and Bilirubin?

Project description:The pigments responsible for eggshell color and patterning in birds are protoporphyrin IX (PP) and biliverdin (BV). Both are involved in the catalytic degradation of the hemo group. Bilirubin (BR), another pigment, is produced when BV is broken down. PP, BV, and BR are free radical scavengers. In this study, we theoretically investigated the antioxidant capacities of these three biological meaningful molecules using Density Functional Theory calculations. First, two antioxidant mechanisms were analyzed for PP, BV, and BR: electron transfer and Hydrogen Atom Transfer. Second, since PP and BV interact with the calcium carbonate matrix of the eggshell, we analyzed the interaction of these pigments with Ca2+ and investigated their chelate compounds. Third, we explored the pro-oxidant properties of PP and BV, which have been proposed for PP when photoactivated to the triplet state, but not for BV. Our results show that PP, BV, and BR are just as good antiradical as other important natural pigments (carotenoids). Neither the antiradical properties of PP and BV nor the UV-visible spectra change due to the presence of calcium, suggesting that the signaling function of these pigments is not affected by the link with Ca2+. Finally, we found that both PP and BV (alone and when linked to Ca2+) can transfer energy from its triplet state to molecular-oxygen-producing singlet oxygen, indicating their pro-oxidant capacity. This investigation answers important questions about the function of these pigments, which may help to understand their influence on the reproductive success of birds.
