The oxidation of Schiff bases of pyridoxamine with -oxo acids by manganous ions and peroxidase.

ABSTRACT: 1. Oxygen was taken up rapidly when pyruvate was added to mixtures of pyridoxamine and Mn(2+) ions after lag periods that were shortened by peroxidase (donor-hydrogen peroxide oxidoreductase, EC 1.11.1.7). 2. The total oxygen uptake was proportional to the pyridoxamine added and was accompanied by the disappearance of pyridoxamine; the pyruvate acted catalytically and hydrogen peroxide was not formed. 3. At pH6 more than half the pyridoxamine that disappeared was accounted for as pyridoxal and ammonia; it is suggested that the primary reaction is the oxidative deamination of the pyridoxamine. 4. Results were similar when alpha-oxobutyrate or glyoxylate were substituted for pyruvate, except that the reactions were slower and the yield of pyridoxal less. 5. The oxidative decarboxylations of alpha-oxoglutarate and phenylpyruvate are catalysed by Mn(2+) ions and these reactions are activated by peroxidase; pyridoxamine increased both the rates and total oxygen uptakes in these reactions, and ammonia was produced. 6. The lag periods in the oxidation of mixtures of pyridoxamine and alpha-oxo acids, catalysed by Mn(2+) ions, were also shortened by traces of colloidal manganese dioxide. 7. It is suggested that the activating effect of peroxidase depends on its catalysis of manganese oxidation.

The oxidation of Schiff bases of pyridoxal and pyridoxal phosphate with amino acids by manganous ions and peroxidase.

Project description:1. Oxygen was taken up rapidly when pyridoxal or pyridoxal phosphate was added to mixtures of pea-seedling extracts and Mn(2+) ions. 2. The increases in total oxygen uptake were proportional to the pyridoxal or pyridoxal phosphate added and were accompanied by the disappearance of these compounds. 3. In addition to Mn(2+) ions, the reactions depended on two factors in the extracts, a thermolabile one in the non-diffusible material and a thermostable one in the diffusate; these factors could be replaced in the reactions by horse-radish peroxidase (donor-hydrogen peroxide oxidoreductase, EC 1.11.1.7) and amino acids respectively. 4. When pyridoxal phosphate was added to mixtures of amino acids and Mn(2+) ions oxygen uptake was rapid after a lag period of 30-90min.; the lag period was shortened to a few minutes by peroxidase, particularly in the presence of traces of p-cresol, or by light. 5. When pyridoxal replaced pyridoxal phosphate relatively high concentrations were required and peroxidase had only a small activating effect. 6. Pyridoxal or pyridoxal phosphate disappeared during the reactions and carbon dioxide and ammonia were formed. 7. With phenylalanine as the amino acid present, benzaldehyde was identified as a reaction product. 8. It is suggested that the reactions are oxidations of the Schiff bases formed between pyridoxal or pyridoxal phosphate and amino acids, mediated by a manganese oxidation-reduction cycle, and resulting in oxidative decarboxylation and deamination of the amino acids.

In Situ Assembled Polynuclear Zinc Oxo Clusters Using Modified Schiff Bases as Ligands.

Project description:A series of different cores and nuclearity zinc metal clusters 1-5 have been synthesized using Zn(ClO4)2·6H2O, Schiff-base primary ligands, and dibenzoyl methane (DBM) or monoethanolamine (MEA) as co-ligand in a room-temperature reaction. The structure of the complexes is characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Among them, (1) [Zn(L1)(DBM)] is mononuclear; (2) [Zn4(L2)2(DBM)4], (3) [Zn4(L2)4(H2O)2(ClO4)2]·2CH2Cl2, and (4) [Zn4(L3)2(DBM)4] have a cubane core; and (5) [Zn4(L4)4(MEA)2(ClO4)2] has a ladderlike core structure. Compounds 1-5 have also been characterized using UV-vis absorption and emission spectroscopies. For an in-depth understanding of the absorption spectra of 1 and 3, density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed, which suggest that the transitions correspond to the π → π* intraligand charge transfer (ILCT) transitions.

Synthesis and structures of three isoxazole-containing Schiff bases.

Project description:The synthesis and structures of three isoxazole-containing Schiff bases are reported, namely, (E)-2-{[(isoxazol-3-yl)imino]methyl}phenol, C10H8N2O2, (E)-2-{[(5-methylisoxazol-3-yl)imino]methyl}phenol, C11H10N2O2, and (E)-2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-{[(isoxazol-3-yl)imino]methyl}phenol, C18H24N2O2. All three structures contain an intramolecular O-H...N hydrogen bond, alongside weaker intermolecular C-H...N and C-H...O contacts. The C-O(H) and imine C=N bond lengths were consistent with structures existing in the enol rather than the keto form. Despite having dihedral angles <25°, none of the compounds were observed to be strongly thermochromic, unlike their anil counterparts; however, all three compounds showed a visible colour change upon irradiation with UV light.

Promising Schiff bases in antiviral drug design and discovery.

Project description:Emerging and re-emerging illnesses will probably present a new hazard of infectious diseases and have fostered the urge to research new antiviral agents. Most of the antiviral agents are analogs of nucleosides and only a few are non-nucleoside antiviral agents. There is quite a less percentage of marketed/clinically approved non-nucleoside antiviral medications. Schiff bases are organic compounds that possess a well-demonstrated profile against cancer, viruses, fungus, and bacteria, as well as in the management of diabetes, chemotherapy-resistant cases, and malarial infections. Schiff bases resemble aldehydes or ketones with an imine/azomethine group instead of a carbonyl ring. Schiff bases have a broad application profile not only in therapeutics/medicine but also in industrial applications. Researchers have synthesized and screened various Schiff base analogs for their antiviral potential. Some of the important heterocyclic compounds like istatin, thiosemicarbazide, quinazoline, quinoyl acetohydrazide, etc. have been used to derive novel Schiff base analogs. Keeping in view the outbreak of viral pandemics and epidemics, this manuscript compiles a review of Schiff base analogs concerning their antiviral properties and structural-activity relationship analysis.

Sequestration of Small Ions and Weak Acids and Bases by a Polyelectrolyte Complex Studied by Simulation and Experiment.

Project description:Mixing of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes can result in phase separation into a polymer-poor supernatant and a polymer-rich polyelectrolyte complex (PEC). We present a new coarse-grained model for the Grand-reaction method that enables us to determine the composition of the coexisting phases in a broad range of pH and salt concentrations. We validate the model by comparing it to recent simulations and experimental studies, as well as our own experiments on poly(acrylic acid)/poly(allylamine hydrochloride) complexes. The simulations using our model predict that monovalent ions partition approximately equally between both phases, whereas divalent ones accumulate in the PEC phase. On a semiquantitative level, these results agree with our own experiments, as well as with other experiments and simulations in the literature. In the sequel, we use the model to study the partitioning of a weak diprotic acid at various pH values of the supernatant. Our results show that the ionization of the acid is enhanced in the PEC phase, resulting in its preferential accumulation in this phase, which monotonically increases with the pH. Currently, this effect is still waiting to be confirmed experimentally. We explore how the model parameters (particle size, charge density, permittivity, and solvent quality) affect the measured partition coefficients, showing that fine-tuning of these parameters can make the agreement with the experiments almost quantitative. Nevertheless, our results show that charge regulation in multivalent solutes can potentially be exploited in engineering the partitioning of charged molecules in PEC-based systems at various pH values.

Spectroscopic studies of amino acid ionic liquid-supported Schiff bases.

Project description:Amino acid ionic liquid-supported Schiff bases, derivatives of salicylaldehyde and various amino acids (L-threonine, L-valine, L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-histidine) have been investigated by means of various spectroscopic techniques (NMR, UV-Vis, IR, MS) and deuterium isotope effects on ¹³C-NMR chemical shifts. The results have shown that in all studied amino acid ionic liquid-supported Schiff bases (except the L-histidine derivative) a proton transfer equilibrium exists and the presence of the COO⁻ group stabilizes the proton transferred NH-form.

Synthesis of novel bisindolylmethane Schiff bases and their antibacterial activity.

Project description:In an effort to develop new antibacterial drugs, some novel bisindolylmethane derivatives containing Schiff base moieties were prepared and screened for their antibacterial activity. The synthesis of the bisindolylmethane Schiff base derivatives 3-26 was carried out in three steps. First, the nitro group of 3,3'-((4-nitrophenyl)-methylene)bis(1H-indole) (1) was reduced to give the amino substituted bisindolylmethane 2 without affecting the unsaturation of the bisindolylmethane moiety using nickel boride in situ generated. Reduction of compound 1 using various catalysts showed that combination of sodium borohydride and nickel acetate provides the highest yield for compound 2. Bisindolylmethane Schiff base derivatives were synthesized by coupling various benzaldehydes with amino substituted bisindolylmethane 2. All synthesized compounds were characterized by various spectroscopic methods. The bisindolylmethane Schiff base derivatives were evaluated against selected Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. Derivatives having halogen and nitro substituent display weak to moderate antibacterial activity against Salmonella typhi, S. paratyphi A and S. paratyphi B.

Saccharified Uranyl Ions: Self-Assembly of UO2 2+ into Trinuclear Anionic Complexes by the Coordination of Glucosamine-Derived Schiff Bases.

Project description:The reaction of UO2 (OAc)2 ⋅ 2H2 O with the biologically inspired ligand 2-salicylidene glucosamine (H2 L1 ) results in the formation of the anionic trinuclear uranyl complex [(UO2 )3 (μ3 -O)(L1 )3 ]2- (12- ), which was isolated in good yield as its Cs-salt, [Cs]2 1. Recrystallization of [Cs]2 1 in the presence of 18-crown-6 led to formation of a neutral ion pair of type [M(18-crown-6)]2 1, which was also obtained for the alkali metal ions Rb+ and K+ (M=Cs, Rb, K). The related ligand, 2-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthylidene) glucosamine (H2 L2 ) in a similar procedure with Cs+ gave the corresponding complex [Cs(18-crown-6)]2 [(UO2 )3 (μ3 -O)(L2 )3 ([Cs(18-crown-6)]2 2). From X-ray investigations, the [(UO2 )3 O(Ln )3 ]2- anion (n=1, 2) in each complex is a discrete trinuclear uranyl species that coordinates to the alkali metal ion via three uranyl oxygen atoms. The coordination behavior of H2 L1 and H2 L2 towards UO2 2+ was investigated by NMR, UV/Vis spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, revealing the in situ formation of the 12- and 22- dianions in solution.

Study on the interactions between melamine-cored Schiff bases with cucurbit[n]urils of different sizes and its application in detecting silver ions.

Project description:Three different complexes, TMeQ[6]-TBT, Q[7]-TBT, and Q[8]-TBT are constructed by three different cucurbiturils and synthesized by guest melamine-cored Schiff bases (TBT) through outer-surface interaction and host-guest interactions. TBT forms a TMeQ[6]-TBT complex with TMeQ[6] through outer-surface interaction, while Q[7]-TBT and Q[8]-TBT form complexes with Q[7,8] through host-guest interactions. Among them, Q[7]-TBT is selected as a UV detector for the detection of silver ions (Ag+). This work makes full use of the characteristics of each cucurbituril and melamine-cored Schiff base to construct a series of complexes and these are applied to metal detection.
