Properties of sea urchin coelomocyte agglutinins

1996

We examined some biological activities of a 200-kDa glycoprotein, referred to as Paracentrotus lividus vitellogenin, contained both in the coelomic fluid and in a subpopulation of coelomocytes called «colourless spherula cells». Cell-free coelomic fluid, coelomocyte lysate and supernatant obtained after coelomocyte washings were assayed for hemagglutinating activity. All samples agglutinated rabbit erythrocytes in a calcium-dependent way. The comparison between the electrophoretic patterns of erythrocyte lysates, before and after incubation with the coelomic fluid, revealed that a 200-kDa band was obtained from membranes of agglutinated erythrocytes. In addition, polyclonal antibodies again…

Microcirculatory Dysfunction Induced by Cigarette Smoking

2000

This review deals with the deleterious effects of cigarette smoking on the microcirculation, both in terms of morphological (i.e., vessel wall injury, capillary loss) and functional aspects. The latter concerns predominantly changes in tissue perfusion and its regulatory mechanisms (i.e., reactive hyperemia, sequestration of blood cells in the microcirculation). The mechanisms of action of cigarette smoking on the microcirculation include compromised endothelial-dependent vasorelaxation, platelet aggregation, endothelial cell dysfunction, and the activation of circulating leukocytes. Through these mechanisms, cigarette smoking elicits the aggregation and adhesion of leukocytes and/or platel…

Studies of Nature of Uncommon Bifurcated I–I···(I–M) Metal-Involving Noncovalent Interaction in Palladium(II) and Platinum(II) Isocyanide Cocrystals

2021

Two isostructural trans-[MI2(CNXyl)2]·I2 (M = Pd or Pt; CNXyl = 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide) metallopolymeric cocrystals containing uncommon bifurcated iodine···(metal–iodide) contact were obtained. In addition to classical halogen bonding, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed a rare type of metal-involved stabilizing contact in both cocrystals. The nature of the noncovalent contact was studied computationally (via DFT, electrostatic surface potential, electron localization function, quantum theory of atoms in molecules, and noncovalent interactions plot methods). Studies confirmed that the I···I halogen bond is the strongest noncovalent interaction in the systems, followed …

Synthesis of 1H-imidazo[3′,4′:4,5]thieno[2,3-b]pyridines. A new ring system

1984

A facile and convenient synthesis of the title compounds is described, using as starting materials the 2-nitro-3-aminothieno[2,3-b]pyridines. Mass spectral data of the above mentioned compounds are briefly discussed.

An Unexpected Three-Component Condensation Leading to Amino- (3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-1-ylidene)- acetonitriles

2004

The reaction of 2-carboxybenzaldehyde with primary amines in the presence of cyanide leads to the formation of 2-substituted amino(3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-1-ylidene)acetonitriles. These compounds originate from the condensation of 2-carboxybenzaldehyde with the amine and two molecules of hydrogen cyanide and represent a novel class of isoindolinones.

STUDIES ON BICYCLO[3.3.1]NONANES FOR SYNTHESIS OF CYCLOOCTENES

2002

This paper describes a full conformational and stereochemical study of bicylo[3.3.1]nonanes, obtained from the reaction between cinnamaldehyde and 1-morpholine 1-cyclohexene. NMR data and stereochemistry were unequivocally established and assigned by two-dimensional experiments and single-crystal X-ray analysis. The crystal structure of a minor compound, 4, is reported. Cyclooctenes, which are present in natural products with biological activities, were synthesized from the bicyclononanes via the Wharton fragmentation.

Synthetic studies toward natural furanosesquiterpenoids from santonin. Synthesis of (+)-1,2-dihydrotubipofuran

1994

Abstract Santonin (1) was converted into (+)-1,2-dihydrotubipofuran (13) via a synthetic pathway involving a very easy preparation of 7,11-ene-8,12-olide and 8,12-furan moieties and A-ring elaboration on the eudesmane framework.

Studien zum Vorgang der Wasserstoffübertragung, 52. Zur Kenntnis der elektroreduktiven Spaltung der N - N-Bindung

1978

Am Beispiel von 35 Hydrazinderivaten wird die elektroreduktive Spaltung polarographisch und praparativ untersucht. Es wurde gefunden: 1) Beim mono-, tri- und tetrabenzoylierten Hydrazin 9, 11 bzw. 12 verschiebt sich das Potential proportional der Anzahl der Benzoylgruppen nach positiveren Werten. Beim symmetrischen 1,2-Dibenzoylhydrazin (10) wird das Halbstufenpotential E1/2 — bedingt durch H-Verbruckung und mesomere Stabilisierung — stark nach negativen Werten verschoben. — 2) Bei den cyclischen Hydrazinderivaten 14–16 werden die E1/2-Werte sowohl in Abhangigkeit von der Ringspaltung als auch durch cis-Fixierung der Benzoylgruppen noch zusatzlich nach positiveren Werten verlagert. — 3) Ube…
