A fluorescence spectroscopy study of the interaction of monocationic quinine with phospholipid vesicles Effect of the ionic strength and lipid compos…

1997

Abstract The interaction of monocationic quinine with zwitterionic dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and mixed negatively-charged dimyristoylphosphatidyl glycerol (DMPG) DMPC small unilamellar vesicles in the liquid-crystalline phase was investigated by steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy at pH 7 and 37°C. The maximum fluorescence emission peak at 383 nm, upon excitation at 335 nm, shifts to lower wavelength and decreases its intensity as the ratio between the total lipid and quinine concentrations increases. This indicates that in the membrane-bound state quinine is in an environment of low polarity, more deeply buried when anionic DMPG is present in the vesicle. For monoprotonated…

Indol und einige Methylderivate 1 lassen sich unter milden Bedingungen mit den Dialkoxycarbenium-tetrafluoroboraten 2 in meist guten Ausbeuten regioselektive acylieren. Mit dem Formylkation-Aquivalent 2a′ werden mit uberschussigem 1 auch die Bisindolycarbenium-tetrafluoroborate 13a – d erhalten.

Antikonvulsiva, 1. Mitt. Thiocarbamoylbutyroguanamine

1986

Durch Anlagerung von Butyroguanamin (1) an die Isothiocyanate 2a-c sind die Thiocarbamoylbutyroguanamine 3a-c zuganglich. Auf dem Wege der Acylierung von 3 sind unsymmetrisch substituierte Butyroguanamine 4 erhaltlich. Unter den neu entwickelten Verbindungen zeichnet sich insbesondere 3c durch antikonvulsive, fungizide und die Magensauresekretion hemmende Wirkungen aus. Anticonvulsivic Agents, I: Thiocarbamoylbutyroguanamines The thiocarbamoylbutyroguanamines 3a-c are accessible by addition of butyroguanamine (1) to the isothiocyanates 2a-c. Unsymmetrically substituted butyroguanamines 4 are obtainable by acylation of 3. Among the newly prepared compounds, 3c in particular exhibits anticonv…

The identification of vicinally substituted cyclohexane isomers in their mixtures by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy.

2000

The radical addition reactions of organobromine compounds, XBr (X = CH2COOMe, PhCH2, CHBr2 and CCl3) with cyclohexene afforded mixtures of cis/trans isomer pairs of 1-X-2-Br-cyclohexanes. In addition to benzyl benzoyloxy derivatives are formed also, when benzoyl peroxide is used as an initiator. Owing to the great difficulties in separating these cis/trans isomer pairs, they are identified directly in their mixtures by NMR spectroscopy. In addition to one-dimensional (ID) 1H, proton decoupled 13C and DEPT-135, also two-dimensional (2D) 13C-13C INADEQUATE as well as 1H-13C HMQC experiments have been used in assigning the signals of each compound in their mixtures. The identification of each …

Follicular adenomas exhibit a unique metabolic profile. ¹H NMR studies of thyroid lesions.

2013

Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy. However, more than 90% of thyroid nodules are benign. It remains unclear whether thyroid carcinoma arises from preexisting benign nodules. Metabolomics can provide valuable and comprehensive information about low molecular weight compounds present in living systems and further our understanding of the biology regulating pathological processes. Herein, we applied ¹H NMR-based metabolic profiling to identify the metabolites present in aqueous tissue extracts of healthy thyroid tissue (H), non-neoplastic nodules (NN), follicular adenomas (FA) and malignant thyroid cancer (TC) as an alternative way of investigating cancer lesions. Multivar…

Measuring single small molecule binding via rupture forces of a split aptamer.

2011

The rupture force of a split (bipartite) aptamer that forms binding pockets for adenosine monophosphate (AMP) was measured by atomic force spectroscopy. Changes in the rupture force were observed in the presence of AMP, while this effect was absent when mutant aptamers or inosine were used. Thus, changes in the rupture force were a direct consequence of specific binding of AMP to the split aptamer. The split aptamer concept allowed the detection of nonlabeled AMP and enabled us to determine the dissociation constant on a single-molecule level.

Coordination properties of adenosine-5'-monophosphate and related ligands towards Me2Sn(IV)2+ in aqueous solution.

2002

Abstract The coordination of Me 2 Sn(IV) 2+ to adenosine-5′-monophosphate (AMP) and the related compounds d -ribose-5-phosphate (R5P), d -glucose-1-phosphate (G1P) and d -glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) in aqueous solution was investigated by means of potentiometric titration, and 1 H-, 31 P-NMR and Mossbauer spectroscopic methods in the pH range 2–11 ( I =0.1 M NaClO 4 , 298 K). The complex of AMP and Me 2 Sn(IV) 2+ precipitated at low pH was characterised by elemental analysis, FT-IR and Mossbauer spectroscopic methods. From a comparison of the p K values obtained in the presence and absence of metal ion and the stability constants for the different systems, the coordination of {N} is excluded,…

Adenosine monophosphate-capped gold(i) nanoclusters: synthesis and lanthanide ion-induced enhancement of their luminescence

2016

Reduction of Au3+ in the presence of just adenosine 5′-monophosphate (AMP) and a zwitterionic organic chemical buffering agent, specifically 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES), combined with light exposure, gives rise to luminescent, water-soluble Au+ nanoclusters (Au+ NCs). The photoluminescence of these NCs is considerably enhanced by adding Y3+ or the chemically similar Yb3+ lanthanide that leads to Au+/Y3+ and Au+/Yb3+ NCs, respectively. These NCs are characterised by absorption (steady-state), photoluminescence (steady-state and time-resolved), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

Flying insects: model systems in exercise physiology

1996

Insect flight is the most energy-demanding exercise known. It requires very effective coupling of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis and regeneration in the working flight muscles.31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of locust flight muscle in vivo has shown that flight causes only a small decrease in the content of ATP, whereas the free concentrations of inorganic phosphate (P i ), adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and adenosine monophosphate (AMP) were estimated to increase by about 3-, 5- and 27-fold, respectively. These metabolites are potent activators of glycogen phosphorylase and phosphofructokinase (PFK). Activation of glycolysis by AMP and P i is reinforced synergistica…
