The preparation of alpha-oxo acid derivatives suitable for specific-radioactivity determination.

ABSTRACT: 1. Conditions favouring the condensation of o-phenylenediamine with alpha-oxo acids to form substituted quinoxalines have been investigated. The best yields (85-100%) are obtained by incubation of the reagents in 2m-hydrochloric acid. Substitution of acetic acid for hydrochloric acid, or of halogen-substituted 1,2-diaminobenzenes for phenylenediamine, increases the initial rate of reaction, but not the yield of quinoxalines. 2. The quinoxaline derivatives are insoluble in water and can be readily purified. They are very suitable for determination of the specific radioactivities of radioactively labelled alpha-oxo acids because they are colourless, soluble in dioxan-based scintillators, and their strong absorption of u.v. light facilitates their chemical determination. As little as 1 nmol can be accurately determined by means of the blue fluorescence produced by absorption of light at 340-360nm. 3. Optimum conditions for preparation, purification and separation by paper and thin-layer chromatography are described.

Preparation of adenosine nucleotide derivatives suitable for affinity chromatography.

Project description:Methods of synthesizing a series of chemically-defined AMP, ADP, ATP, adenylyl imidodiphosphate and pyrophosphate derivatives suitable for affinity chromatography are extensively described. Each derivative has a single primary amino group at the end of a hexamethylene ;spacer' chain for attachment to CNBr-activated agarose. The synthesis of the derivative where the ;spacer' arm is attached directly to the 8 position of the adenine ring to produce 8-(6-aminohexyl)amino-AMP involves the direct bromination of AMP in the 8 position followed by displacement of the halogen by 1,6-diaminohexane. This monophosphate derivative can then be converted into the corresponding di- or triphosphate forms by direct phosphate condensation with carbonyl di-imidazole. A second series of adenosine phosphate derivatives with the phosphate moieties unsubstituted has been similarly prepared from N(6)-(6-aminohexyl)-AMP (Guilford et al., 1972). A third type of ligand has been synthesized by condensing the phosphoryl imidazolide of AMP with 6-aminohex-1-yl phosphate. This compound, P(1)-(6-aminohex-1-yl) P(2)-(5'-adenosyl) pyrophosphate, has an unsubstituted adenine ring. The synthesis of a fourth type of ligand, 6-aminohex-1-yl pyrophosphate, was done by heating 6-aminohexan-1-ol with crystalline pyrophosphoric acid under reduced pressure. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by chemical, electrophoretic and chromatographic methods and by u.v. spectrometry. The general applicability of the synthetic methods used is discussed in relation to the preparation of other affinity adsorbents. Examples are given where these derivatives have been successful in reversibly binding dehydrogenases, kinases and myosin and its proteolytic subfragments. The partial purification of rat liver glucokinase on an ADP derivative is shown.

Indoor Particle Alpha Radioactivity Origins in Occupied Homes.

Project description:Exposure to radioactivity inside homes potentially poses severe health risks which can be exacerbated by the interaction between radioactive particles and fine indoor particles; in particular, the presence of α particles are a key risk factor. Hence, in this study, particle radioactivity was concurrently measured in the family rooms and basements of 26 homes to assess its concentrations and identify its sources, both indoors and outdoors, across two seasons. The levels of radon, air ions, and particle radioactivity, which included short- and long-lived α-activity (SLA and LLA, respectively), varied greatly but were substantially higher in the basements. Also, particle radioactivity-as well as PM2.5 and sulfur concentrations-were lower during the heating season. SLA was associated with radon, which was consistently of indoor origin, whereas LLA was more strongly related to the sulfur measured in indoor PM2.5, which is a proxy of outdoor infiltration. A regression model adjusted for sulfur and SLA also indicated a predominance of outdoor sources, likely due to the short residence time of indoor particles. Our results suggest that radiation in homes originates from both the decay of indoor radon and the infiltration of outdoor radioactivity.

Bronsted Acid-Catalyzed Epimerization-Free Preparation of Dual-Protected Amino Acid Derivatives.

Project description:An organocatalytic protocol, employing the commercially available EDC as coupling agent, has been developed for the preparation of dual-protected amino acid derivatives without epimerization. This methodology was then applied to different Boc-amino acid and amine derivatives in moderate to excellent isolated yields. In addition, racemization-free Boc deprotection was also demonstrated. Mechanism investigation through electrospray ionization (+)-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry revealed an acyclic intermediate (no azlactone formation) activated by the camphorsulfonic acid as an organocatalyst as a key step for the sequential attack of the nucleophile.

α,α-Difluorophosphonohydroxamic Acid Derivatives among the Best Antibacterial Fosmidomycin Analogues.

Project description:Three α,α-difluorophosphonate derivatives of fosmidomycin were synthesized from diethyl 1,1-difluorobut-3-enylphosphonate and were evaluated on Escherichia coli. Two of them are among the best 1-deoxy-d-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase inhibitors, with IC50 in the nM range, much better than fosmidomycin, the reference compound. They also showed an enhanced antimicrobial activity against E. coli on Petri dishes in comparison with the corresponding phosphates and the non-fluorinated phosphonate.

The maize death acids, 10-oxo-11-phytoenoic acid and derivatives, are rapidly induced phytoalexins with multiple biological activities

Project description:Plant cellular damage promotes the interaction of lipoxygenases (LOX) with free fatty acids to yield 9- and 13-hydroperoxides which are further metabolized into diverse oxylipins. The enzymatic action of 13-LOX on linolenic acid enables production of 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (12-OPDA) and its downstream products, jointly known as jasmonates. As signals, jasmonates have related yet distinct roles in the regulation of plant resistance against insect and pathogen attack. An additional and conceptually parallel pathway involving 9-LOX activity on linoleic acid leads to the production of 10-oxo-11-phytoenoic acid (10-OPEA). Despite structural similarity to jasmonates, physiological roles for 10-OPEA have remained unclear. Both 12-OPDA and 10-OPEA equally promote the transcription of numerous defense genes encoding glutathione S-transferases, cytochrome P450s, and pathogenesis-related proteins; however, 10-OPEA activity diverges in the context of reduced protease inhibitor transcript accumulation. To identify additional differential responses, we subsequently performed whole transcriptome analyses using RNAseq. These comparisons provide a platform for further examination of plant response specificity to the cyclopentenone 10-OPEA.

Enantioselective organocatalytic syntheses of α-selenated α- and β-amino acid derivatives.

Project description:Selenium-containing amino acids are valuable targets but methods for the stereoselective α-selenation of simple amino acid precursors are rare. We herein report the enantioselective electrophilic α-selenation of azlactones (masked α-amino acid derivatives) and isoxazolidin-5-ones (masked β-amino acids) using Cinchona alkaloids as easily accessible organocatalysts. A variety of differently substituted derivatives was accessed with reasonable levels of enantioselectivities and further studies concerning the stability and suitability of these compounds for further manipulations have been carried out as well.

Synthesis of α-Fluoro-α-Amino Acid Derivatives via Photoredox-Catalyzed Carbofluorination.

Project description:A mild, metal-free, regioselective carbofluorination of dehydroalanine derivatives has been developed. Alkyl radicals resulting from visible-light photoredox catalysis engage in a radical conjugate addition to dehydroalanine, with subsequent fluorination of the newly generated radical to afford an α-fluoro-α-amino acid. By using a highly oxidizing organic photocatalyst, this process incorporates non-stabilized primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl radicals derived from commercially available alkyltrifluoroborates to furnish a wide range of fluorinated unnatural amino acids.

Efficient oxidation of oleanolic acid derivatives using magnesium bis(monoperoxyphthalate) hexahydrate (MMPP): A convenient 2-step procedure towards 12-oxo-28-carboxylic acid derivatives.

Project description:A new, straightforward and high yielding procedure to convert oleanolic acid derivatives into the corresponding ?-hydroxy-?-lactones, by using the convenient oxidizing agent magnesium bis(monoperoxyphthalate) hexahydrate (MMPP) in refluxing acetonitrile, is reported. In addition, a two-step procedure for the preparation of oleanolic 12-oxo-28-carboxylic acid derivatives directly from ?(12)-oleananes, without the need for an intermediary work-up, and keeping the same reaction solvent in both steps, is described as applied to the synthesis of 3,12-dioxoolean-28-oic acid.
