In silico methods for metabolomic and toxicity prediction of zearalenone, α-zearalenone and β-zearalenone.

2020

Zearalenone (ZEA), α-zearalenol (α-ZEL) and β-zearalenol (β-ZEL) (ZEA's metabolites) are co/present in cereals, fruits or their products. All three with other compounds, constitute a cocktail-mixture that consumers (and also animals) are exposed and never entirely evaluated, nor in vitro nor in vivo. Effect of ZEA has been correlated to endocrine disruptor alterations as well as its metabolites (α-ZEL and β-ZEL); however, toxic effects associated to metabolites generated once ingested are unknown and difficult to study. The present study defines the metabolomics profile of all three mycotoxins (ZEA, α-ZEL and β-ZEL) and explores the prediction of their toxic effects proposing an in silico w…

ChemInform Abstract: Cross-Dehydrogenative Couplings Between Indoles and β-Keto Esters: Ligand-Assisted Ligand Tautomerization and Dehydrogenation vi…

2014

Cross-dehydrogenative coupling reactions between β-ketoesters and electron-rich arenes, such as indoles, proceed with high regiochemical fidelity with a range of β-ketoesters and indoles. The mechanism of the reaction between a prototypical β-ketoester, ethyl 2-oxocyclopentanonecarboxylate, and N-methylindole has been studied experimentally by monitoring the temporal course of the reaction by (1)H NMR, kinetic isotope effect studies, and control experiments. DFT calculations have been carried out using a dispersion-corrected range-separated hybrid functional (ωB97X-D) to explore the basic elementary steps of the catalytic cycle. The experimental results indicate that the reaction proceeds v…

Synthesis of Functionalized Indoles with a Trifluoromethy-Substituted Stereogenic Tertiary Carbon Atom Through an Enantioselective Friedel-Crafts Alk…

2010

[EN] Chiral complexes of BINOL-based ligands with zirconium tert-butoxide catalyze the Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction of indoles with beta-trifluoromethyl-alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones to give functionalized indoles with an asymmetric tertiary carbon center attached to a trifluoromethyl group. The reaction can be applied to a large number of substituted alpha-trifluoromethyl enones and substituted indoles. The expected products were obtained with good yields and ees of up to 99%.

Thermische Cycloadditionen von 1,2‐Dihydropentalen

1989

1,2-Dihydropentalen (1) ist ein gekreuzt konjugiertes 6π-Elektronensystem, das in thermischen Cycloadditionen als 2π-, 4π- oder 6π-Komponente fungieren kann. Es werden die Additionen an Tetraphenylcyclopentadienon (1+23), N-Phenylmaleinimid (1+45) und Tropon (1+68 bzw. 10) beschrieben. Auf der Basis von MNDO-Rechnungen werden Peri-, Regio- und Stereoselektivitat anhand von primaren und sekundaren Orbitalwechselwirkungen diskutiert. Thermal Cycloaddition of 1,2-Dihydropentalene 1,2-Dihydropentalene (1) is a cross-conjugated 6π-electron system, that can act in thermal cycloaddition processes as a 2π, 4π, or 6π component. The addition reactions with tetraphenylcyclopentadienone (1+23), N-pheny…

Herstellung von 1,5‐Cyclooctadiin und 1,3,5,7‐Cyclooctatetraen aus 1,5‐Cyclooctadien

1994

Preparation of 1,5-Cyclooctadiyne and 1,3,5,7-Cyclooctatetraene from 1,5-Cyclooctadiene Bromination of 1,5-cyclooctadiene (1) and stepwise dehydro-bromination first with KOtBu and then with KOtBu/18-crown-6 yields 1,5-cyclooctadiyne (5). A prolonged interaction of the base causes a complete transformation to cyclooc-tatetraene (6). Diyne 5 and even more the intermediate enyne 4 are highly reactive dienophiles. The cycloadducts 10–14 formed with 1,3-cyclohexadiene, carbon disulfide, and tetraphenylcyclopentadienone were isolated and characterized. Treatment of 5 with titanium tetrachloride induces a vigorous polymerization.

Chiroptical Induction and Molecular Recognition in Optically Active Hyperbranched Polyethers with Inherently Chiral Benzophenone Core

1978

Die quartaren Ephedriniumsalze 1–5 sowie die bekannten Kronenether 6 und 7 werden als Leitsalze bei der Elektroreduktion von Acetophenon eingesetzt. Hierbei wird das Produktverhaltnis: sekundarer Alkohol (A) zum Diol (B) sowie die optische Induktion von A wesentlich durch das Leitsalz beeinflust. Es wird hieraus der Schlus gezogen, das weniger die Elektrosorption der Leitsalze an die Quecksilberoberflache als vielmehr feldbedingte Orientierungs- und Assoziations-phanomene zwischen optisch aktivem Leitsalz und prochiralem Substrat im diffusen Bereich der elektrochemischen Doppelschicht wirksam sind.

Phenothiazines interfere with dopaminergic neurodegeneration in Caenorhabditis elegans models of Parkinson's disease

2010

Oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative disorders, conventional antioxidant strategies have yet been of limited success. We have employed transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans expressing DsRed2 in dopaminergic neurons and CFP pan-neuronally, to characterize in larval and adult animals the effects of rotenone and 1-methyl-4-phenyl-pyridinium (MPP(+)) on the dopaminergic system. Investigating the antioxidant phenothiazine and different derived antipsychotic drugs, it was found that free phenothiazine exerted strong neuroprotection at the cellular level and resulted in a better performance in behavioral assays, whereas apomorphine and other dopamine agonists o…

Rottlerin induces a transformed phenotype in human keratinocytes.

2001

PKCdelta plays a fundamental role in cell cycle control. Consistent with its proposed tumour suppressor function, ras transfection of the human keratinocyte cell line HaCaT results in a loss of PKCdelta expression mediated by TGFalpha (Exp. Cell Res., 219, 299, 1995). To get more insight into the role of PKCdelta in keratinocytes, we investigated the effects of Rottlerin, a specific inhibitor of protein kinase Cdelta, in HaCaT cells. After Rottlerin treatment, HaCaT cells lost their cobble-stone morphology and displayed a spindle-shaped, fibroblastic phenotype. Additionally, the establishment of cell-cell contacts was prevented. This was caused by an internalization of E-cadherin and beta-c…
