A structural insight into the P1 S1 binding mode of diaminoethylphosphonic and phosphinic acids, selective inhibitors of alanine aminopeptidases

2016

Abstract N′-substituted 1,2-diaminoethylphosphonic acids and 1,2-diaminoethylphosphinic dipeptides were explored to unveil the structural context of the unexpected selectivity of these inhibitors of M1 alanine aminopeptidases (APNs) versus M17 leucine aminopeptidase (LAP). The diaminophosphonic acids were obtained via aziridines in an improved synthetic procedure that was further expanded for the phosphinic pseudodipeptide system. The inhibitory activity, measured for three M1 and one M17 metalloaminopeptidases of different sources (bacterial, human and porcine), revealed several potent compounds (e.g., K i  = 65 nM of 1u for Hs APN). Two structures of an M1 representative (APN from Neisser…

Optimizing the H3PO4 leaching conditions of post-precipitated sewage sludge using response surface methodology

2018

The leaching procedure of post-precipitated aluminium phosphate sludge with dilute phosphoric acid was developed. The leaching offers a route to recover both critical phosphorous from sewage sludge and the metal used in precipitation. Using phosphoric acid as leaching solution makes it possible to continue the recovery process without the need to remove chloride or sulfate anions. The optimization of the leaching was based on experimental three-level-four-variable central composite face-centered design. The four variables included were acid concentration, volume of acid, temperature and time of leaching. The leaching was conducted for dewatered and water-containing sludge (total solid conte…

Substituted phosphonic analogues of phenylglycine as inhibitors of phenylalanine ammonia lyase from potatoes.

2018

A series of phosphonic acid analogues of phenylglycine variously substituted in phenyl ring have been synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activity towards potato l-phenylalanine ammonia lyase. Most of the compounds appeared to act as moderate (micromolar) inhibitors of the enzyme. Analysis of their binding performed using molecular modeling have shown that they might be bound either in active site of the enzyme or in the non-physiologic site. The latter one is located in adjoining deep site nearby the to the entrance channel for substrate into active site.

Hopping Conductivity in Hydrogen-Bonded Antiferroelectric Compounds

1991

Antiferroelectric betaine phosphate (BP: (CH3)3NCH2COO · H3PO4) and ferroelectric betaine phosphite (BPI: (CH3)3NCH2COO · H3PO3) are molecular crystals of the amino acid betaine and the phosphoric or phosphorous acids, respectively. In both compounds the inorganic components are linked by hydrogen bonds to one-dimensional chains. The two isostructural compounds form solid solutions BPxBPI1-x at any concentration. Here we report measurements of the dielectric permittivity for concentrations 0.85 ≤ × ≤ 1 at frequencies 10−2 ≤ v ≤ 109 Hz and temperatures 2 K ≤ T ≤ 300 K. The dielectric response in BP:BPI (x = 0.95) is dominated by contributions from pure hopping conductivity which we ascribe t…

Scandium(III) complexes of monophosphorus acid DOTA analogues: a thermodynamic and radiolabelling study with 44 Sc from cyclotron and from a 44 Ti/ 4…

2015

International audience; The complexation ability of DOTA analogs bearing one methylenephosphonic (DO3AP) or methylene-phosphinic (DO3AP PrA and DO3AP ABn) acid pendant arm toward scandium was evaluated. Stability constants of their scandium(III) complexes were determined by potentiometry combined with 45 Sc NMR spectroscopy. The stability constants of the monophosphinate analogues are somewhat lower than that of the Sc–DOTA complex. The phosphorus acid moiety interacts with trivalent scandium even in very acidic solutions forming out-of-cage complexes; the strong affinity of the phosphonate group to Sc(III) precludes stability constant determination of the Sc–DO3AP complex. These results we…

Mesoporous aluminum phosphite

2009

Abstract High surface area pure mesoporous aluminum-phosphorus oxide-based derivatives have been synthesized through an S+I− surfactant-assisted cooperative mechanism by means of a one-pot preparative procedure from aqueous solution and starting from aluminum atrane complexes and phosphoric and/or phosphorous acids. A soft chemical extraction procedure allows opening the pore system of the parent as-prepared materials by exchanging the surfactant without mesostructure collapse. The nature of the pore wall can be modulated from mesoporous aluminum phosphate (ALPO) up to total incorporation of phosphite entities (mesoporous aluminum phosphite), which results in a gradual evolution of the acid…

Phosphonic Acid Analogs of Fluorophenylalanines as Inhibitors of Human and Porcine Aminopeptidases N: Validation of the Importance of the Substitutio…

2020

International audience; A library of phosphonic acid analogs of phenylalanine substituted with fluorine, chlorine and trifluoromethyl moieties on the aromatic ring was synthesized and evaluated for inhibitory activity against human (hAPN) and porcine (pAPN) aminopeptidases. Fluorogenic screening indicated that these analogs are micromolar or submicromolar inhibitors, both enzymes being more active against hAPN. In order to better understand the mode of the action of the most active compounds, molecular modeling was used. It confirmed that aminophosphonic portion of the enzyme is bound nearly identically in the case of all the studied compounds, whereas the difference in activity results fro…

Morphology control in biphasic hybrid systems of semiconducting materials.

2015

Simple blends of inorganic nanocrystals and organic (semiconducting) polymers usually lead to macroscopic segregation. Thus, such blends typically exhibit inferior properties than expected. To overcome the problem of segregation, polymer coated nanocrystals (nanocomposites) have been developed. Such nanocomposites are highly miscible within the polymer matrix. In this Review, a summary of synthetic approaches to achieve stable nanocomposites in a semiconducting polymer matrix is presented. Furthermore, a theoretical background as well as an overview concerning morphology control of inorganic NCs in polymer matrices are provided. In addition, the morphologic behavior of highly anisotropic na…

Polycondensed nitrogen heterocycles. Part19. Pyrrolo[1,2-f]phenanthridines by pschorr-type cyclization brought about by hypophosphorous acid

1986

Pyrrolo[1,2-f]phenanthridines were prepared in good yields by the diazotization in acetic acid of the amines la,b and subsequent treatment with hypophosphorous acid. The necessity for hypophosphorous acid in the reaction was demonstrated.

1970

Two mechanisms are feasible in the anionic polymerization of virtually anhydrous formaldehyde initiated by uncharged LEWIS-bases such as tertiary amines and phosphines: 1. Direct initiation with formation of macrozwitterions the conventional mechanism in which an impurity such as water or methylene glycol acts as a cocatalyst. The investigations were carried out mainly by end group analysis. With triethyl amine as initiator the cocatalysis mechanism is the only or, at least, the predominant mechanism (at 20°C in dimethyl formamide). Quaternary ammonium ions – if any – are present in concentrations much below the concentrations of anionic chain ends. The latter were determined by termination…
