Nitrate Reductase Activity of Mitochondrial Aldehyde Dehydrogenase (ALDH-2) as a Redox Sensor for Cardiovascular Oxidative Stress

2009

In 2002, mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH-2) was identified as an organic nitrate bioactivating enzyme. This so-called nitrate reductase activity denitrates nitroglycerin (glycerol trinitrate) to its 1,2-glycerol dinitrate metabolite and nitrite. This reaction relies on reduced thiols at the active site of the enzyme and on the presence of reduced dithiols as the electron source. During bioconversion of nitroglycerin, and also in the presence of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, the active site thiols of ALDH-2 are oxidized and the enzyme looses its activity. We, therefore, speculated that ALDH-2 activity could be a useful marker for cardiovascular oxidative stress. Indeed, th…

Co(II)-mediated synthesis of 2-carbamimidoylbenzoates and isoindole-1,3-diaminates

2015

Abstract Phthalonitrile, acetoxime and cobalt(II) nitrate hexahydrate are combined in acetone with formation of stable and easy to handle Co(II) complex [Co{C6H4C(NH2)NC(ONCMe2)2}2](NO3)2 (1). Interaction of 1 with excess alcohols ROH (also used as solvents) and 2 equiv of (NH4)2S leads, in one-step, to alkyl 2-carbamimidoylbenzoate nitrates [C6H4COOR{2-C(NH2)2}]NO3 [R=CH3, C2H5, C3H7, CH(CH3)2]. Similarly, N1,N3-dialkyl-1H-isoindole-1,3-diaminate nitrates [C6H4C(NR′)NC(NR′)]NO3 [R=C3H7, C4H9, C(CH3)3, CH2CH2OH, CH2CH2SC2H5) can be directly produced from 1 by its reaction with 4 equiv of amines and 2 equiv of (NH4)2S in alcoholic media.

Electrochemical reduction of the nitrite to ammonium ions in presence of [MoO2(O2CC(S)C6H5)2]2−

1995

Abstract Ammonia is formed during potentiostatic reduction of sodium nitrite solutions on the nafion-complex-coated electrode. When (NH4)2[MoO2(O2CC(S)(C6H5)2)2] is present in NaNO2 solutions a polarographic wave is associated to electrocatalytic reduction of nitrite ion. The wave height varies linearly on the concentration of nitrite ion, allowing a procedure for analysing this ion. This electrochemical behaviour distinguishes the nitrite from the nitrate ions. The Mo(VI), Mo(V), and Mo(IV) are involved in catalytic redox processes determining formation of NH4+ from nitrite ions.

Isobaric Vapor−Liquid Equilibrium for Ethanol + Water + Strontium Nitrate

1996

Isobaric vapor−liquid equilibrium for ethanol (1) + water (2) + potassium nitrate (3) at various concentrations of salt and with ethanol mole fractions from 0 to 0.642 has been measured at 100.0 kPa. The results were correlated by assuming that the salt was in ionic form and it was associated only with the water.

ChemInform Abstract: Continuous Hydrothermal Synthesis of Nanometric BaZrO3in Supercritical Water.

2008

Abstract Nanocrystalline barium zirconate (BaZrO 3 ) was synthesized using a hydrothermal synthesis process working in supercritical conditions and in a continuous way. By this method, we succeeded in the continuous and rapid production of nanopowders. As a preliminary work three barium precursors have been investigated: barium hydroxide (Ba(OH) 2 ), barium acetate (Ba(CH 3 COO) 2 ) and barium nitrate (Ba(NO 3 ) 2 ). Two of them (Ba(CH 3 COO) 2 and Ba(NO 3 ) 2 ) led to the pure perovskite phase. Then an experimental design has been conducted in order to determine the influence of the experimental parameters on the crystallinity and the grain size of the final product.

Über die polymerisation von acrylnitril mit silbernitrat

1963

Die Polymerisation von Acrylnitril mit AgNO3 in Substanz und in Losung wird untersucht. In orientierenden Kinetischen Versuchen wird gefunden, das die Reaktion nach einem radikalischen Mechanismus ablauft; sie wird durch Licht katalysiert. Auserdem wird die Aktivitat einer Reihe anorganischer Salze und organischer Nitratebei der Initiierung der Polymerisation gepruft. Die Reaktionsmoglichkeiten werden diskutiert. The polymerization of acrylonitrile with AgNO3 in bulk and in solution was investigated. Informative kinetic experiments were carried out and it is suggested that a radical mechanism is operative; light acts as a catalyst. A number of inorganic salts and organic nitrates were check…

SYNTHESIS AND REARRANGEMENT OFN-METHYL-N-(2-THIAZOLYL)-NITRAMINE

2001

Methylation of N-(2-thiazolyl)-nitramine in alkaline solution gives 1,2-dihydro-3-methyl-2-nitriminothiazole which rear-ranges in concentrated sulphuric acid yielding small amount of 2-(N-methylamino)-5-nitrothiazole, identical with the product of rearrangement of N-methyl-N-(2-thiazolyl)-nitramine. The latter compound was obtained by the action of sodium hydride on 2-(N-methylamino)-thiazole followed by the nitration with n-butyl nitrate.
