Carbohydrate Auxiliaries in Stereoselective Syntheses of Decahydroquinoline Alkaloids
2002
Using tetra-O-pivaloyl-β-D-galactopyranosylamine as the chiral auxiliary, both trans- and cis-annelated decahydroquinoline alkaloids can be synthesized stereoselectively. This methodology of asymmetric synthesis is based on the effect that both enantiomers of 2,6-disubstituted piperidin-4-ones are selectively and alternatively accessible using the auxiliary as the identical stereodifferentiating tool. In addition, the carbohydrate auxiliary controls the stereoselective protonation of enolates formed by conjugate addition of cuprates to N-galactosyl octahydroquinolin-4-ones. The syntheses of trans-4a-epi-pumiliotoxin C and cis-4a-epi-perhydro-219A illustrate this concept of asymmetric synthe…
(1Z,3Z)-3-[Quinolin-2(1H)-ylidene]-1-(quinolin-2-yl)prop-1-en-2-ol: An unexpected most stable tautomer of 1,3-bis(quinolin-2-yl)acetone
2009
Abstract 1 H, 13 C and 15 N NMR spectra reveal that CDCl 3 solution of 1,3-bis(quinolin-2-yl)acetone contains only ( 1Z , 3Z )-3-[quinolin-2(1 H )-ylidene]-1-(quinolin-2-yl)prop-1-en-2-ol. The proton transfer takes place between two basic centers of the molecule, which means that the process is an identity reaction by character. The situation is completely different from that detected in chloroform solution of 1,3-bis(pyridin-2-yl)acetone where three different tautomers are in equilibrium with each other. Although the proton transfers in both ( 1Z , 3Z )-3-[quinolin-2(1 H )-ylidene]-1-(quinolin-2-yl)prop-1-en-2-ol and ( 1Z , 3Z )-3-hydroxy-1-[quinolin-2(1 H )-ylidene-4-quinolin-2-yl]but-3-e…
Evidence in the formation of conjugated linoleic acids from thermally induced 9t12t linoleic acid: a study by gas chromatography and infrared spectro…
2009
Accepted version of article published in the journal: Chemistry and Physics of Lipids. Published version available on Science Direct: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.chemphyslip.2009.07.002 Thermally induced isomerisation leading to the formation of conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs) has been observed for the first time during the thermal treatment of 9t12t fatty acid triacylglycerol, and methyl ester. Fifteen microlitre portions of the triacylglycerol sample containing 9t12t fatty acid (trilinoelaidin) were placed in micro glass ampoules and sealed under nitrogen, then subjected to thermal treatment at 250 degrees C. The glass ampoules were removed at regular time intervals, cut open, and the co…
Gas chromatography-fourier transform infrared spectrometry of fatty acids: New Applications with a direct deposition interface
1998
Infrared spectroscopy is a suitable spectroscopic method to differentiate geometric Z and E isomers of unsaturated compounds. A direct-deposition Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), coupled to a gas chromatograph, was used successfully to analyze with a high sensitivity traces of C18:1 fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) isomers. It could also conclusively distinguish between isomers of conjugated diunsaturated FAME. The achievable sensitivity of this direct-deposition device makes possible accurate FAME mixture analyses that are not currently attainable with the more conventional light-pipe interface.
Thermally Induced Isomerisation Kinetics of the 9c11t and 10t12c Conjugated Linoleic Acids in Triacylglycerols as Studied by FT-IR Spectrometry Aided…
2014
Published version of an article from the journal:The Open Spectroscopy Journa. Also available from the publisher:http://dx.doi.org/10.2174/1874383801004010041. Open Access Isomerisation kinetics of the 9c11t and 10t12c Conjugated Linoleic Acids (CLA) in triaclglycerols at isothermal conditions (250, 280 and 325oC) has been studied by infrared spectroscopy. Fifteen micro liter portions of the glycerides were placed in micro glass ampoules and sealed under nitrogen. Several glass tubes containing the same triacylglycerols were then subjected to thermal treatment. The glass tubes were removed at regular time intervals, cut open, and a part of the contents in each glass tube analysed by infrare…
Glutathione Transferase A1-1 Catalyzed Conjugation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Diol-Epoxides with Glutathione
1996
Abstract The glutathione transferase A1-1 (GSTA1-1) isoenzyme catalyzes the formation of GSH-conjugates of the isomeric bay-region diol-epoxides (DEs) of trans-1,2-dihydroxy-3,4-epoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrochrysene (CDE) and trans-3,4-dihydroxy-1,2-epoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrodibenz[a,h]anthracene (DBADE) as well as the isomeric fjord-region DEs trans-3,4-dihydroxy-1,2-epoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[c]phenanthrene (BPhDE) and trans-9,10-dihydroxy-11,12-epoxy-9,10,11,12-tetrahydro-benzo[c]chrysene (BCDE) although with an approx. 20-fold variation in catalytic efficiency. With the anti-diastereomers and the syn-diastereomers of BPhDE and BCDE, GSTA1-1 demonstrated a significant preference for the enan…
IDENTIFICATION OF LECTINS IN THE KINETIDS OFTETRAHYMENA PYRIFORMIS
1997
Previously we described lectin-like molecules in the ciliate Tetrahymena pyriformis; by application of synthetic neoglycoconjugates it is now shown that T. pyriformis contains considerable amounts of both a beta-D-glucose- and a lactose-specific lectin. No evidence for the presence of alpha-D-mannose-, alpha-D-galactose- or of alpha-L-fucose-specific lectins could be obtained. The two lectins, identified in T. pyriformis, are associated with the kinetids. During cell division the lectins disappear or become masked in the fission furrow. Therefore, we assume that these lectins are involved in the organization of the distribution pattern of the kinetids during cell division perhaps due to lec…
Channel Switching Protocols Hinder the Transition to IP World: The Pentagon Story
2019
In this paper, we target the strategy for telecommunications architectures during the transition to the IP-only models. The paper discusses the shifting from circuit switching to packet switching in telecommunications. Particularly, we analyze the coexistence of circuit switching and packet switching technologies in American military communications where each warfare object should have own IP address. The paper discusses the role of multifunction Soft Switches (MFSS). This Soft Switch plays the role of a media gateway between TDM channels and IP channels. As a case, we are passing through the transformation from SS7 signaling to internet protocol, ISDN-based government Defense Red Switch Ne…
Protein/lipid coaggregates are formed during α-synuclein-induced disruption of lipid bilayers.
2014
Amyloid formation is associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease (PD). Significant α-synuclein (αSN) deposition in lipid-rich Lewy bodies is a hallmark of PD. Nonetheless, an unraveling of the connection between neurodegeneration and amyloid fibrils, including the molecular mechanisms behind potential amyloid-mediated toxic effects, is still missing. Interaction between amyloid aggregates and the lipid cell membrane is expected to play a key role in the disease progress. Here, we present experimental data based on hybrid analysis of two-photon-microscopy, solution small-angle X-ray scattering and circular dichroism data. Data show in real time changes in liposome …
Investigations of Chl a aggregates cross-linked by dioxane in 3-methylpentane
1997
In this work, dioxane-bound aggregates of chlorophyll a are prepared in 3-methylpentane. The properties of the aggregates are studied by using steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopies. The Q -region absorption spectrum of the y chlorophyll a-dioxane aggregate shows four clearly resolvable narrow bands with comparable intensities. The band maxima are located at 683, 689, 698 and 702 nm. The emission spectrum consists of two emission bands centred at 699 and 702 nm suggesting the presence of two types of aggregates. High degree of fluorescence polarization is detected yielding the angles between the absorption transition moments with respect to the 702 nm emission transition moment. The …
