A new flavan-3,4-diol from Acacia auriculiformis by paper ionophoresis.

ABSTRACT: 1. The heartwood of A. auriculiformis contains a typical mixture of analogues consisting of three isomeric flavan-3,4-diols, a dihydroflavonol, flavanone, flavonol and chalcone based on the 4',7,8-trihydroxyl pattern. These were resolved by preparative paper chromatography and preparative paper ionophoresis. 2. Crystalline (-)-teracacidin [(2R,3R,4R)-4',7,8-trihydroxy-2,3-cis-flavan-3,4-cis-diol] was obtained in high (10%) yield, and a new crystalline derivative of (-)-isoteracacidin [(-)-2,3-cis-3,4-trans isomer] was isolated. The crystalline methyl ether of a new (+)-2,3-trans-3,4-cis isomer was isolated. 3. The absolute configurations of (-)-isoteracacidin (2R,3R,4S) and of the (+)-2,3-trans-3,4-cis isomer (2R,3S,4S) were tentatively assigned on the basis of nuclear-magnetic-resonance spectroscopy, paper ionophoresis and paper-chromatographic comparison with the epimerization products of (-)-teracacidin. 4. Possible reasons for the absence of polymeric leuco-anthocyanidin tannins are discussed. 5. (+/-)-4',7,8-Trihydroxydihydroflavonol and (+/-)-4',7,8-trihydroxyflavanone were isolated for the first time. 6. The bark polyphenols consist mainly of polymeric leuco-delphinidins and leuco-cyanidins which redden exceptionally rapidly to light. The mechanism of this phenomenon is discussed.

(3S,4S)-1-Benzyl-pyrrolidine-3,4-diol.

Project description:In the title compound, C(11)H(15)NO(2), the pyrrolidine ring adapts a twisted envelope conformation and the two hydroxyl groups are arranged in a trans conformation. The crystal packing is stabilized by inter-molecular O-H?N and O-H?O hydrogen bonds. A weak C-H?? inter-action also occurs.

Microbial metabolism of the pyridine ring. The metabolism of pyridine-3,4-diol (3,4-dihydroxypyridine) by Agrobacterium sp.

Project description:1. Pyridine-3,4-diol (3,4-dihydroxypyridine, 3-hydroxypyrid-4-one), an intermediate in 4-hydroxypyridine metabolism by an Agrobacterium sp (N.C.I.B. 10413), was converted by extracts into 1mol of pyruvate, 2mol of formate and 1mol of NH(3) at pH7.0. 2. Formate, but not the alternative likely product formamide, was further oxidized fivefold faster by 4-hydroxypyridine-grown washed cells than by similar organisms grown on succinate. 3. The oxidation of pyridine-3,4-diol by crude extracts at pH8.5 required 1mol of O(2)/mol of substrate, produced 1mol of acid and led to the formation of formate and a new compound with an extinction maximum of 285nm (Compound I). This step was believed to be mediated by a new labile dioxygenase (t((1/2))=4h at pH7.0, 4 degrees C) cleaving the pyridine ring between C-2 and C-3. 4. Many of the properties of this pyridine-3,4-diol dioxygenase paralleled those of the extradiol (;meta') oxygenases of aromatic-ring cleavage. The extreme lability of the enzyme has so far precluded extensive purification. 5. Compound I showed changes in the u.v.-absorption spectrum with pH but after acidification it was converted into a new product, 3-formylpyruvate, with an extinction maximum now at 279nm. 6. Both Compound I and 3-formylpyruvate were metabolized by extracts but at very different rates. The slower rate of metabolism of Compound I was nevertheless consistent with that of pyridine-3,4-diol metabolism. 7. On acidification Compound I released about 0.65mol of NH(3) and has been identified as 3-formiminopyruvate. 8. 3-Formylpyruvate was hydrolysed to formate and pyruvate (K(m) 2mum) by an acylpyruvate hydrolase active against several other dioxo homologues. The activity of this enzyme was much lower in extracts of succinate-grown cells.

Crystal structure of 3-{(E)-[(3,4-di-chloro-phen-yl)imino]-meth-yl}benzene-1,2-diol.

Project description:In the title Schiff base, C13H9Cl2NO2, which arose from the condensation of 3,4-di-chloro-aniline with 2,3-di-hydroxy-benzaldehyde, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 44.74?(13)°. Intra-molecular O-H?O and O-H?N hydrogen bonds close S(5) and S(6) rings, respectively. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of O-H?O hydrogen bonds generate R 2 (2)(10) loops. A weak C-H?? inter-action is also observed.

Elaboration and controlling excited state double proton transfer mechanism of 2,5-bis(benzoxazol-2-yl)thiophene-3,4-diol.

Project description:In the present work, we theoretically illuminate the excited state double proton transfer (ESDPT) process about a novel synthesized system 2,5-bis(benzoxazol-2-yl)thiophene-3,4-diol (BBTD). Minor changes of both structure and charge redistribution deriving from photoexcitation result in obviously different excited state dynamical process. Exploration about our constructed S1-state potential energy surface (PES) indicates a stepwise ESDPT mechanism for BBTD. In addition, we present a new mechanism about regulating and controlling stepwise ESDPT process via external electric field.

Microbial metabolism of the pyridine ring. The hydroxylation of 4-hydroxypyridine to pyridine-3,4-diol (3,4-dihydroxypyridine) by 4-hydroxypyridine-3-hydroxylase.

Project description:1. The first metabolic step in the biodegradation of 4-hydroxypyridine by an Agrobacterium sp. was hydroxylation to form pyridine-3,4-diol. 2. Extracts required 1mol of O(2) and 1mol of NADH or NADPH for the conversion of 4-hydroxypyridine into pyridine-3,4-diol, suggesting that the enzyme responsible, 4-hydroxypyridine-3-hydroxylase, was a mixed function mono-oxygenase. 3. After treatment with acidic (NH(4))(2)SO(4) the enzyme required FAD for activity; FMN and riboflavin would not substitute for FAD. 4. The rate of anaerobic reduction of FAD by NAD(P)H was increased more than tenfold in the presence of 4-hydroxypyridine, suggesting that the mechanism of hydroxylation was similar to that of other aromatic hydroxylases which are of the mono-oxygenase type. 5. The partially purified enzyme was extremely specific for its heterocyclic substrate but would utilize either NADH or NADPH. 6. 4-Hydroxypyridine-3-hydroxylase was strongly inhibited by high substrate concentration (above 0.5mm) especially below pH7.5. 8. The inflexion at pH8.4 in a pK(m) versus pH plot, together with strong inhibition by p-chloromercuribenzoate, suggested a role for thiol groups in substrate binding.

Two New Antiprotozoal Diterpenes From the Roots of <i>Acacia nilotica</i>.

Project description:The powdered roots of the medicinal plant Acacia nilotica were extracted with hexane and ethyl acetate, and the extracts were subjected to column chromatography for the isolation of potentially bioactive compounds and their screening against kinetoplastid pathogens. NMR and HREI mass spectrometric analyses identified two new diterpenes, characterized as 16, 19-dihydroxycassa-12-en-15-one (Sandynone, 1) and (5S, 7R, 8R, 9R, 10S, 13Z, 17S)-7,8:7,17:16,17-triepoxy-7,8-seco-cassa-13-ene (niloticane B, 2). The previously reported (5S,7R,8R,9R,10S) -(-)-7,8-seco-7, 8-oxacassa-13,15-diene-7,17-diol (3), (5S,7R,8R,9R,10S) -(-)-7,8-seco-7, 8-oxacassa-13,15-dien-7-ol-17-al (4), and (5S,7R,8R,9R,10S) -(-)-7,8-seco-7, 8-oxacassa-13,15-dien-7-ol (5) a, mixture of stigmasterol (6a) and sitosterol (6b), and lupeol (7) were also isolated. Several column fractions displayed significant activity against a panel of Trypanosoma and Leishmania spp., and from the most active fraction, compound 4 was isolated with high purity. The compound displayed high activity, particularly against T. brucei, T. evansi, and L. mexicana (0.88-11.7 µM) but only a modest effect against human embryonic kidney cells and no cross-resistance with the commonly used melaminophenyl arsenical and diamidine classes of trypanocides. The effect of compound 4 against L. mexicana promastigotes was irreversible after a 5-h exposure, leading to the sterilization of the culture between 24 and 48 h.

A new bacterial sphingophospholipid containing 3-aminopropane-1,2-diol.

Project description:1. A new sphingophospholipid has been isolated from the bacterial fraction of sheep rumen contents. 2. This new lipid has been characterized as a ceramide phosphate moiety esterified to 3-aminopropane-1,2-diol through the primary alcohol group. 3. Mass spectrometry has shown the intact lipid to contain a vicinal hydroxyl amino grouping, and oxidation with periodate converts it quantitatively into a new phospholipid which is probably ceramide phosphorylglycolaldehyde. 4. The sphingophospholipid contains a mixture of saturated long-chain bases mainly with branched-chain alkyl groups, which are typical of a microbial origin. 5. A Gram-negative bacterium isolated from rumen contents contains about 30% of the new lipid in its phospholipids when grown in pure culture.
