Stannacycloalkyl and stannepinyl derivatives of dipeptides
1994
Stannacyclohexyl and stannacycloheptyl derivatives of dipeptides (CH2)nSnAA · xH2O (H2AA = H2GlyGly, with n = 5, x = 2 or n = 6, x = 1; H2AA = H2GlyAla, H2GlyVal, H2GlyMet, with n = 5, 6, x = 1) and stannepinyl glycylglycinate monohydrate have been obtained by the reaction of (CH2)nSnCl2 or stannepinyl dichloride with Na2AA. According to infrared and 119Sn Mossbauer data of the solid compounds, AA acts as a tridentate ONN ligand and tin has a trigonalbipyramidal environment. An analogous structure has been inferred from 1H, 13C, and 119Sn NMR data for the undissociated molecules in methanol solution.
Synthesis of cyclic dipeptide templates, their incorporation into peptides and studies on their conformational and biological properties.
2009
This study investigated the diastereoselective synthesis of three dipeptide templates 1, 2 and 3, which may be regarded as conformationally restricted analogs of H-Gly-Xaa-OH, in which Xaa constitutes an aromatic amino acid. Bond formation between α-C of Gly and the aromatic moiety was achieved by proton-catalyzed intramolecular electrophilic aromatic substitution. The absolute configuration of the dipeptide templates was determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography or by nuclear Overhauser enhancement measurements. A protective group strategy was elaborated to allow their incorporation into peptide sequences by liquid phase as well as by solid-phase peptide synthesis. The templates w…
Synthesis of fluorinated piperidine and azepane β-amino acid derivatives
2016
Abstract A convenient and robust stereocontrolled procedure has been developed for the synthesis of novel trifluoromethyl-containing piperidine and azepane β-amino ester stereoisomers. The synthesis started from readily available unsaturated bicyclic β-lactams and was based on oxidative cleavage of the ring C C double bond followed by ring closure of the diformyl intermediates in the presence of 2,2,2-trifluoroethylamine hydrochloride through reductive amination. The synthetic procedure has efficiently been extended towards the synthesis of mono- and difluorinated analogs.
Synthesis of densely functionalized cispentacin derivatives through selective aziridination and aziridine opening reactions: Orthogonally protected d…
2014
A novel substrate-directed synthetic route to a series of highly functionalized, orthogonally protected di- or triaminocyclopentanecarboxylate derivatives with multiple chiral centres from an unsaturated bicyclic β-lactam has been accomplished by applying stereoselective ring C–C double bond aziridination with chloramine-T and phenyltrimethylammonium tribromide, followed by regioselective aziridine opening with different N,O nucleophiles and hydrides. The functionalization strategy was successfully extended for access to enantiomerically pure orthogonally protected triaminocarboxylates.
Tin compounds interaction with membranes of egg lecithin liposomes.
2007
This work is a continuation of earlier research concerning the influence of tin compounds on the dynamic properties of liposome membranes produced with lecithin hen egg yolks (EYL). The experiments were carried out at room temperature (about 25 ∞C). Four tin compounds were chosen, including three organic ones, (CH3)4Sn, (C2H5)4Sn and (C3H7)3SnCl, and one inorganic, SnCl2. The investigated compounds were admixed to water dispersions of liposomes. The content of the admixture changed within the range 0 mol-% to 11mol-% in proportion to EYL. Two spin probes were used in the experiment: 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine- 1-oxyl (TEMPO) and 2-ethyl-2-(15-methoxy-15-oxopentadecyl)-4,4-dimethyl-3-oxaz…
Characterization of interaction between tricyclic structures containing pharmaceuticals, their models and humic substances.
2011
Their persistence and wide consumption identify pharmaceuticals as “emerging pollutants”. The complexation of pharmaceuticals containing adamantine ring structures and their model substances with humic acids (HA) of different origins was compared using fluorescence spectroscopy as a function of pH, humic acid concentration, ionic strength, and molecular mass of HA. Binding constants between the studied pharmaceuticals and humic acids were calculated. A combination of dynamic and static quenching processes as indicated by nonlinear Stern-Volmer plots and high Kd values were positively correlated with the concentration of carboxyl groups in the studied humic acids. For basic functional group-…
Purification of rat liver epoxide hydratase to apparent homogeneity.
1975
Epoxide hydratase (EC 4.2.1.63) is a microsomal enzyme which catalyses the conversion of epoxides to trans-dihydrodiols. Epoxides, produced by the action of microsomal monooxygenases (EC 1.14.1.1) from aromatic and olefinic compounds, are thought to be responsible for many of the harinful effects of polycyclic hydrocarbons and related compounds. Thus epoxide hydratase, together with glutathione 9transferases, (EC 2.5.1.18) may play an important role in the removal of carcinogenic and cytotoxic metabolites (for reviews see [l-3]). It has been reported [4,5] that dihydrodiols formed from some polycyclic hydrocarbons (benz(a)anthracene and benzo(a)pyrene) are reactivated by the microsomal mono…

Carotenoids
2009
Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of what is known about carotenoid metabolism in Chlamydomonas with reference to other green algae and vascular plants. The biosynthesis of carotenoids and the subdivisions of carotenogenesis are described. With respect to subcellular distribution, the carotenoids in vegetative cells localize to the chloroplast where they either serve as photosynthetic pigments bound to the protein complexes of the two photosystems, or as components of the eyespot apparatus is outlined with its functional significance. Carotenoids can serve as precursors of a number of other molecules with important physiological functions in Chlamydomonas.
Study by EQCM on the voltammetric electrogeneration of poly(neutral red). The effect of the pH and the nature of cations and anions on the electroche…
2003
Generation of poly(neutral red) films has been studied by means of the simultaneous measurements of current–potential and mass–potential curves during cyclic voltammetry (CV) experiments. It has been proved that the presence of molecular oxygen in the solution increases the amount of polymer deposited on the electrode. Otherwise, using the mass/charge ratio it is possible to obtain quantitative information about the electrodeposition by different procedures. It is observed that this ratio decreases when the amount of polymer electrogenerated increases, except when the polymer is not reduced and oxidised after its electrogeneration. The study of poly(neutral red) by CV and quartz crystal mic…
