H2-Antihistaminica, 1. Mitt.: 2-Substituierte 4-[[2-(N′-Methyl-thioureido)-äthylmercapto]-methyl]-imidazole
1976
Es wird die Synthese der 2-substituierten 4-[[2-(N′-Methylthioureido)-athylmercapto]-methyl]-imidazole 5a–f als potentielle H2-Antihistaminica beschrieben. Ausgehend von den Imidazol-4-carbinolen 3a–f lassen sich die 2-substituierten 4-[(2-Amino-athylmercapto)-methyl]-imidazole 4a–f durch saurekatalysierte Reaktion mit Cysteamin darstellen und mit Methylisothiocyanat in die entsprechenden Thioharnstoffderivate 5 uberfuhren. 2-Substituted 4-[[2-(N′-Methyl-thioureido)-ethylmercapto]-methyl]-imidazoles The synthesis of 2-substituted 4-[[2-(Ns′-methyl-thioureido)-ethylmercapto]-methyl]-imidazoles 5a–f, as potential H2-antihistaminics, is described. The acid catalyzed reaction of the imidazole-4…
Redox modulation of Rubisco conformation and activity through its cysteine residues
2008
Treatment of purified Rubisco with agents that specifically oxidize cysteine-thiol groups causes catalytic inactivation and increased proteolytic sensitivity of the enzyme. It has been suggested that these redox properties may sustain a mechanism of regulating Rubisco activity and turnover during senescence or stress. Current research efforts are addressing the structural basis of the redox modulation of Rubisco and the identification of critical cysteines. Redox shifts result in Rubisco conformational changes as revealed by the alteration of its proteolytic fragmentation pattern upon oxidation. In particular, the augmented susceptibility of Rubisco to proteases is due to increased exposure…
