Stability of Borane−Adduct Complexes: A G-2 Molecular Orbital Study
1997
Complexation energies of H3BXHn and [H3BXHn-1]- complexes (X = N, O, F, P, S, and Cl) (n = 3, 2, 1) have been computed at the G-2 level of theory. The formation of H3BXH3 (X = N, P) is found to be more favored than the formations of H3BXH2 (X = O, S) and H3BXH (X = F, Cl). The qualitative features of the molecular orbital interaction (the correlation diagrams) of H3BNH3 (C3v symmetry group), H3BOH2 (Cs symmetry group), and H3BFH (Cs symmetry group) complexes are presented. These diagrams show that the σ character of the B−X bond decreases and the π character increases when the electronegativity of X increases and indicate that the B−X bond cannot be treated only in terms of the simplest mod…
A comparative investigation of DNA adducts, DNA strand breaks and gene mutations induced by benzo[a]pyrene and (+/-)-anti-benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-diol 9,1…
1997
Abstract Genotoxic effects of benzo[ a ]pyrene (BP) and its reactive metabolites (±)- anti -benzo[ a ]pyrene-7,8-diol 9,10-oxide ((±)- anti -BPDE) were comparatively investigated in vitro with the permanent human fibroblast cell line MRC5CV1. Induced DNA adducts were measured by 32 P-postlabeling, DNA strand breakage was determined by the comet assay and the HPRT gene mutation test was used to detect cytotoxicity and mutagenicity. Treatment of MRC5CV1 cells with S9 mix-activated BP or with (±)- anti -BPDE resulted in a concentration-dependent increase in DNA adducts and strand breaks. Genotoxic effects of BP and (±)- anti- BPDE were detected by 32 P-postlabeling and the comet assay with sim…
Study of the Fragmentation of D-Glucose and Alkylmonoglycosides in the Presence of Sodium Ions in an Ion-Trap Mass Spectrometer
2009
Abstract Using electrospray ion-trap mass spectrometry, the fragmentation of D-glucose and alkylmonoglycopyranosides (alkyl-GPs) was studied. In the presence of Na+, B1 and 0,2A fragmentations were observed. The alkyl-GPs also showed a 2,5Afragmentation. A cluster containing no carbon atoms and adducts of this cluster with neutral molecules were observed. Standards of alkylmonoglycofuranosides (alkyl-GFs) were not available; however, their fragmentation was studied by high-performace liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) and HPLC-MS2 using an industrial mixture of alkylpolyglycosides. The cluster and its adducts were more easily formed by the alkyl-GPs than by the alkyl-GFs, but…
Cycloaddition von benzothiet an oxime, oximether und oximester
1991
Benzothiete 1 generates by thermal ring opening an 8π electron system 2 which undergoes [8π + 2π] cycloaddition reactions with the oxime systems 3a-g. In accordance with the FMO theory the 1,3-thiazine derivatives 4a-g are formed in a regiospecific and 4f additionally in a stereospecific manner. The O-acylated adducts 4h-j enter the same cycloaddition; however, an elimination reaction 4 5, 6 can provoke the addition of a second benzothiete, yielding the tetracyclic compounds 7j, and 8i,j.
A theoretical study on NHC-catalysed enantioselective cycloaddition of ketenes and 3-aroylcoumarins: mechanism and enantioselectivity.
2018
NHC-catalysed enantioselective cycloaddition of ketenes to 3-aroylcoumarins to yield dihydrocoumarin-fused dihydropyranones has been investigated using DFT methods at the B3LYP/6-31G* and MPWB1K/6-311G** computational levels. Two plausible mechanisms have been studied: the “ketene-first” mechanism A and the “coumarin-first” mechanism B. An analysis of the activation Gibbs free energies involved in the two competitive pathways makes it possible to rule out the pathway associated with the “coumarin-first” mechanism B. The first step of the “ketene-first” mechanism A is the formation of zwitterionic intermediate IN1-Zvia a nucleophilic attack of NHC 1 on ketene 2. A [4 + 2] cycloaddition throu…
Dialkyl titanium complexes that contain a sulfur-linked bis(phenolato) ligand:
2002
Abstract The sulfur-linked bis(phenol) 2,2′-thiobis(2-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol), tbmpH2, reacted cleanly with titanium tetrachloride to give the orange titanium dichloro complex [Ti(tbmp)Cl2]2 in virtually quantitative yield. Reaction of the dichloro complex [Ti(tbmp)Cl2]2 with methyllithium at low temperature gave the unexpectedly thermally robust, yellow dimethyl complex [Ti(tbmp)Me2]. The reaction of the dichloro complex with benzyl Grignard reagent in pentane afforded the highly crystalline dibenzyl complex [Ti(tbmp)(CH2Ph)2] as a 1,4-dioxane adduct. The single crystal X-ray crystallography revealed a centrosymmetric 1,4-dioxane-bridged molecule that contains two fragments containing s…
Single and Multiple Additions of Dibenzoylmethane onto Buckminsterfullerene
2013
A novel dibenzoylmethane-fullerene e,e,e-tris adduct was synthesized by the application of a variation of the Bingel–Hirsch conditions and characterized among others by X-ray crystallography. In addition, the corresponding hexakis adduct was detected by MALDI-TOF-MS analysis. Its existence was supported by density-functional-theory (DFT) computations. Furthermore a new synthesis of bis(benzoyl)methanofullerene was established, and its molecular structure was elucidated by X-ray crystallography. DFT computations reproduced the experimentally determined conformation and predict a low energy barrier for the rotation of the two benzoyl moieties.
5-Substituted-benzylsulfanyl-thiophene-2-sulfonamides with effective carbonic anhydrase inhibitory activity: Solution and crystallographic investigat…
2017
Abstract A series of 5-substituted-benzylsulfanyl-thiophene-2-sulfonamides was prepared by reacting 5-bromo-thiophene-2-sulfonamide with 5-substituted-benzyl mercaptans. The new compounds were investigated as carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) inhibitors. The cytosolic human (h) isoforms hCA I was poorly inhibited by the new sulfonamides (KIs in the range of 683–4250 nM), whereas hCA II, and the transmembrane, tumor associated isoforms hCA IX and XII were effectively inhibited in the subnanomolar–nanomolar range. A high resolution X-ray crystal structure of the adduct of hCA II with one of the new sulfonamides allowed us to rationalize the excellent inhibitory activity of these heterocycli…
DNA Modification Induced After Metabolic Activation of the Potent Carcinogen Dibenzo[a, l]pyrene in V79 Chinese Hamster Cells Stably Expressing Singl…
2000
Abstract The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) dibenzo[a, l]pyrene (DB[a, l]P) has been found to be an environmental pollutant and, considering the available data from rodent bioassays, it represents the most carcinogenic member compound of the class of PAH yet discovered. To sort out the contribution of individual cytochromes P450 (P450) in the metabolic activation of this PAH, V79 cells stably expressing a single P450 isoform were treated with DB[a, l]P or enantiomeric DB[a, l]P-11,12-dihydrodiols (diols). Subsequent analysis of the DNA adducts formed revealed substantial differences in the adduct pattern and the total DNA binding depending on the cell line used. Human P450 1B1 effect…
DNA Repair and Damage Response Following Exposure of Cells to Alkylating Carcinogens
2012
Abstract Alkylating carcinogens are widely distributed in the environment and are present in food, beverages and tobacco. They are also endogenously formed in stomach and gut. These agents induce a dozen different DNA lesions, and some of them have been identified to be carcinogenic, clastogenic, recombinogenic and cytotoxic. A critical DNA adduct is O6-methylguanine (O6MeG). This damage causes mutations and is responsible for most of the carcinogenic effects of simple alkylating agents. At the same time, O6MeG is a highly powerful cytotoxic lesion, giving rise to the induction of apoptosis, necrosis and autophagy. The damage is repaired by the suicide enzyme alkyltransferase (MGMT), which …
