Microbial metabolism of biologically active secondary metabolites from Nerium oleander L

Ursolic acid (1) and kaempferol (3) are two major constituents of the Mediterranean plant Nerium oleander L. Microbial metabolism of (1) with Aspergillus flavus (ATCC 9170) resulted in the formation of 3-oxo-ursolic acid derivative, ursonic acid (2). On the other hand, Cunninghamella blakesleeana (ATCC 8688A) was able to convert (3) into kaempferol 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4) as well as the new natural product kaempferol 4'-sulfate (5). Incubation of kaempferol with Mucor ramannianus (ATCC 9628) led to the isolation of one metabolite identified as kaempferol 4'-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside (6). Transformation of kaempferol to the new compound kaempferol 7-O-beta-D-4-O-methylglucopyranoside (7) and herbacetin 8-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (8) was observed after fermentation with Beauveria bassiana (ATCC 13144). Cytotoxic as well as antioxidant activities of the isolated metabolites were determined.     

Electronic structures of low-lying Bu excited states in trans-oligoenes: Pariser-Parr-Pople and ab initio calculations

Two lowest-lying excited singlets with B(u) symmetry of all-trans-oligoenes, the well-known ionic 1(1)B(u)(+) state as well as the "hidden" ionic-covalent-mixed 1(1)B(u)(-) state, are calculated within both the Pariser-Parr-Pople (PPP) model at full configuration interaction (FCI) level and ab initio methods. The vertical excitation energies as well as wavefunctions from PPP-FCI calculations are found to be in good agreement with those from high-level multi-reference methods, such as multi-reference complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) with second order perturbative corrections (CASPT2), multi-reference M?ller-Plesset perturbation theory (MRMP), and complete active space valence bond theory (CASVB). The oscillator strengths from PPP calculation are in good agreement with spectroscopy experiments. The relatively small oscillator strength of 1(1)B(u)(-) is due to the approximate electron-hole symmetry of this state. In addition, the bond lengths in both states are found to show remarkable relativity with the bond orders calculated with ground state geometries, which suggests a possible strategy for initial guess in geometry optimization of excited states.     

Synthesis of polymers in aqueous solutions: Polyaddition of bis(oxazolines) with dithiol in aqueous solutions

Polyaddition of bis(4-mercaptophenyl) sulfide ( BMPS ) with m-phenylenebis(2-oxazoline) ( MPBO ) proceeded very smoothly in the mixtures of aprotic ploar solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone ( NMP ) with water to produce the corresponding poly(amide–sulfide) with high molecular weights at 90°C under nitrogen. The reaction of BMPS with MPBO , p-phenylenebis(2-oxazoline), and 1,4-butylenebis(2-oxazoline) was also examined in water under the same conditions, and it was found that the reaction proceeds successfully to give the corresponding poly(amide–sulfide)s with high molecular weights. These results mean that water along as well as the mixed solvents of aprotic polar solvents such as NMP with water can be uses as suitable reaction media for the polyaddition of bis(oxazolines) with dithiol to synthesize poly(amide—sulfide)s with high molecular weights. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Selective extraction of gallium from aluminum and indium using tripod phenolic ligands

Solvent extraction of trivalent group 13 metal cations such as aluminum, gallium and indium with tripod quadridentate phenolic ligand, tris(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylbenzyl)amine (H(3)tdmba), was investigated as fundamental study for their mutual separation. Gallium was extracted almost quantitatively as Ga(tdmba) (logK(ex)=-6.66+/-0.06 on using chloroform as extraction solvent), whereas aluminum and indium were hardly extracted due to steric hindrance on complexation of them with the ligand. The extracted Ga species was estimated as trigonal bipyramidal complex with one H(2)O molecule. Furthermore, extractability of Ga was increased by changing the ligand to more acidic tris(5-chloro-2-hydroxy-3-methylbenzyl)amine (H(3)tcmba) (logK(ex)=-6.18+/-0.18 on using dichloroethane as extraction solvent).     

Layered zirconium phosphate chloride dimethyl sulfoxide as a two-dimensional exchanger of anionic ligands. Part I. Substitution of chloride with inorganic monodentate ligands

Crystalline ZrPO(4)Cl(CH(3))(2)SO was prepared by direct precipitation in the presence of oxalic acid as a zirconium complexing agent. The structure of ZrPO(4)Cl(CH(3))(2)SO, refined with the Rietveld method using X-ray powder diffraction data, was confirmed to be close to that of the compound prepared using gamma-zirconium phosphate as a precursor. Chloride anions directly bonded to zirconium were found to act as weak ligands; this made possible their replacement with other monodentate anionic ligands. The preparation and a preliminary characterization of a series of inorganic derivatives obtained by topotactic replacement of Cl with OH, Br, MSO(4) (M = H, NH(4), Na), NaMoO(4), and HCrO(4) anions is reported. The possibility of replacement of chloride also with organic anions, such as alkoxides and carboxylates, and the possibility of substituting also dimethyl sulfoxide with other neutral ligands, as shown by preliminary study, makes ZrPO(4)Cl(CH(3))(2)SO a useful and very flexible precursor for materials chemistry.     

Direct enantiomeric TLC resolution of dl-penicillamine using (R)-mandelic acid and l-tartaric acid as chiral impregnating reagents and as chiral mobile phase additive

DL-Penicillamine has been resolved into its enantiomers by normal-phase TLC using L-tartaric acid as chiral impregnating reagent as well as chiral mobile phase additive, while (R)-mandelic acid has been found to be successful as a chiral impregnating reagent. The solvent system acetonitrile-methanol-water (5:1:1, v/v) was found to be successful when L-tartaric acid was used as impregnating agent while the solvent combination acetonitrile-methanol-(0.5% l-tartaric acid in water, pH 5)-glacial acetic acid (7:1:1.1:0.7, v/v) was successful as mobile phase as it contained L-tartaric acid as the chiral additive. (R)-mandelic acid was successful as chiral impregnating reagent with ethyl acetate-methanol-water (3:1:1, v/v), as the mobile phase. The effects of concentration of chiral selectors, temperature and pH were examined on enantiomeric resolution. The spots were detected with iodine vapors and the detection limits were found to be 0.12 microg for each enantiomer of penicillamine with L-tartaric acid, under both the conditions, and 0.11 microg with (R)-mandelic acid.     

Enantioseparation of the anticoagulant drug phenprocoumon in capillary electrophoresis with UV and laser-induced fluorescence detection and application of the method to urine samples

The enantioseparation of phenprocoumon (PhC) in capillary electrophoresis (CE) has been studied using various cyclodextrins (CDs) such as native alpha, beta and gamma-CD and several neutral and randomly, as well as selectively substituted charged CD derivatives. Reversal of the enantiomer migration order was observed when using heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl (TM)-beta-CD as a chiral selector compared to all other CDs used. The detection of PhC was performed using either UV or laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection. The limit of detection (LOD) observed with LIF detection was ca. 20 times lower compared to UV. The method has been applied to the analysis of urine samples of the patient under treatment with PhC in combination with other drugs such as ramipril, hydrochlorothiazide, and nifedipine.     

Molecular heterogeneity,detected by two electrophoretic micro procedures,of IgG in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)

Semi-automated electrophoretic procedures in the PhastSystem (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) with micro polyacrylamide gels (PAGs) and SDS-PAG gradients were modified to analyze IgG in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and matched serum samples with respect to the molecular IgG structure L-H-H-L. Isoelectric focusing (IEF) with specific immunofixation detected discrete IgG bands in CSF standing out against a polyclonal and monoclonal background pattern in CSF and serum; they were denoted oligoclonal bands (IgG OBs) (OB assay positive) indicating IgG synthesis in the central nervous system (CNS) of patients with subacute and chronic processes of inflammatory CNS disorders; assay was negative with identical (mirror) bands in CSF and serum for other CNS processes. IgG OBs were specified as lambda (kappa) IgG subfractions, precipitated with the anti-light (L) chains lambda (kappa) and anti-heavy (H) chain fragments (Fd, Fc, C(H)2) as well as with anti-F(ab')(2), and as duplex IgGs with kappa and lambda OBs at the same pI. With SDS-PAG gradient electrophoresis and specific immunofixation more than six IgG fractions were detected and classed according to apparent molecular weights of a S-sulfonated human IgG standard; they were characterized with the monospecific antibodies against the L and H chain fragments as 25, 50, 75, 100, 125 and 150 kD fractions containing combinations of L and H chains as well as mixtures of both L and H chain fragments of varying dimensions. Generally, this molecular IgG heterogeneity could not be connected with the IgG OB heterogeneity revealed by IEF; but single OBs in the strongly alkaline pH region of PAG may correspond to H fragments with basic pI. Nevertheless, evidence for the existence of both free L chains and the free H chain were revealed as specific OBs with IEF and with the anti-L and anti-H antibodies in the 25 kD and 50 kD fractions, respectively, of CSF samples of six patients with diverse CNS diseases. Further experiments are needed to elicit the origin of the molecular IgG heterogeneity during the immune response of subacute and chronic inflammatory processes in human CNS.     

Synthesis of new pyrazoles,oxadiazoles, triazoles,pyrrolotriazines, and pyrrolotriazepines as potential cytotoxic agents

4-Oxo-4-phenylbutanehydrazide (1) reacted with many active methylene reagents such as acetylacetone, diethylmalonate, ethylacetoacetate, ethylcyanoacetate, benzoyl-acetonitrile, and malononitrile under neat conditions to afford the corresponding pyrazoles (2–7) , also, treatment of butanehydrazide (1) with electrophilic reagents as triethylorthoformate, dimethylformamide-dimethylacetal, acetic anhydride, and carbon disulfide to give 1,3,4-oxadiazoles (8,10,11) and N′-acetyl-butanehydrazide (9) . Reacted of butanehydrazide (1) with potassium thiocyanate gave 1,2,4-triazoles (12) . Similarly, treatment of (1) with chloroacetamide gave 1,2,4-triazinones (13) . The pyrrolotriazinones (14) was obtained by cyclization of (13) . Also, butanehydrazide ( 1 ) was utilized as a starting material for the synthesized of new Schiff bases as N′-(4-sub-benzylidene)-phenylbutane-hydrazide (15a-c) , which are used as an initiative to prepare new compounds such as 1,2,4-triazepinones (16a-c) , pyrrolotriazepinones (17a-c) , 1,2,4-triazines (18a-c) , and pyrrolotriazines (19a-c) by reacted of (15a-c) with each chloroacetamide or formamide. The chemical structure of the newly prepared compounds was determined through the spectrum data, including IR, NMR, and MS. The prepared compounds were tested for their in vitro antitumor activities. The compounds 17a-c , 16a-c , and 19a-c displayed activity against several types of cancer cell lines.     

Thermochemistry of fluorinated single wall carbon nanotubes.

The gradient corrected Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof density functional in conjunction with a 3-21G basis set and periodic boundary conditions was employed to investigate the geometries and energies of C(2)F fluorinated armchair single wall carbon nanotubes (F-SWNT's) with diameters ranging from 16.4 to 4.2 A [(12,12) to (3,3)] as well as a C(2)F graphene sheet fluorinated on one side only. Using an isodesmic equation, we find that the thermodynamic stability of F-SWNT's increases with decreasing tube diameter. On the other hand, the mean bond dissociation energies of the C-F bonds increase as the tubes become thinner. The C-F bonds in the (5,5) F-SWNT's are about as strong as those in graphite fluoride (CF)(n)() and are also covalent albeit slightly (<0.04 A) stretched. Whereas a fluorine atom is found not to bind covalently to the concave surface of [60]fullerene, endohedral covalent binding is possible inside a (5,5) SWNT despite a diameter similar to that of the C(60) cage.     

The first Cu(I)-mediated nucleophilic trifluoromethylation reactions using (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane in ionic liquids

The new ionic liquids (5a-8a) were used as reaction media for nucleophilic trifluoromethylation reactions of trifluoromethyl(trimethyl)silane with (1) aryl, allyl, benzyl, and alkyl halides in Cu(I)-mediated C-C bond formation reactions, and (2) carbonyl functionalities catalyzed with Ph3P or CsF. In addition, conversion of benzyl bromide as a model compound to benzyl fluoride was examined in using 6a CsF as the fluorinating reagent. The morpholinium-based ionic liquid (6a) stood out as an efficient solvent system comparable to organic solvents and superior to the other new ionic liquids prepared in this work as well as to [bmim]+[PF6]-. Neat reactions of N-methyloxazolidine (1), N-methylmorpholine (2), N-methylimidazole (3) or N-methyltriazole (4) with 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethyl bromide (BrCH2CH2OCH2CH2OCH2CH3, ) or 2-bromoethyl methyl ether (BrCH2CH2OCH3, 10) at 75 or 105 degrees C gave the N-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethyl- or N-methoxyethyl-substituted oxazolidinium, morpholinium, imidazolium and triazolium quaternary bromides (1a-4a, 1b-4b) which were metathesized with LiN(SO2CF3)2 to form the respective room-temperature liquid bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amides 5a-8a and 5b-8b in high yields with transition or melting points < -78 degrees C as determined by DSC. All of the ionic liquids are thermally stable to > 310 degrees C as determined by thermogravimetric analyses (TGA). Densities range between 1.29 and 1.53 g cm(-3) at 25 degrees C.     

Reaction of HO* with guanine derivatives in aqueous solution: formation of two different redox-active OH-adduct radicals and their unimolecular transformation reactions. Properties of G(-H)*

The reaction of *OH with 2'-deoxyguanosine yields two transient species, both identified as OH adducts (G*-OH), with strongly different reactivity towards O2, or other oxidants, or to reductants. One of these, identified as the OH adduct at the C-8 position (yield 17% relative to *OH), reacts with oxygen with k=4 x 10(9)M(-1)s(-1); in the absence of oxygen it undergoes a rapid ring-opening reaction (k = 2 x 10(5) s(-1) at pH4-9), visible as an increase of absorbance at 300-310 nm. This OH adduct and its ring-opened successor are one-electron reductants towards, for example, methylviologen or [Fe(III)(CN)6]3-. The second adduct, identified as the OH adduct at the 4-position (yield of 60-70% relative to *OH), has oxidizing properties (towards N,N,N',N'-tetra-methyl-p-phenylenediamine, promethazine, or [Fe(II)(CN)6]4-). This OH adduct undergoes a slower transformation reaction (k = 6 x 10(3) s(-1) in neutral, unbuffered solution) to produce the even more strongly oxidizing (deprotonated, depending on pH) 2'-deoxyguanosine radical cation, and it practically does not react with oxygen (k< or = 10(6)M(-1)s(-1)). The (deprotonated) radical cation, in dilute aqueous solution, does not give rise to 8-oxoguanosine as a product. However, it is able to react with ribose with k< or =4 x 10(3)M(-1)S(-1).     

Complexation of the vulcanization accelerator tetramethylthiuram disulfide and related molecules with zinc compounds including zinc oxide clusters (Zn4O4)

Zinc chemicals are used as activators in the vulcanization of organic polymers with sulfur to produce elastic rubbers. In this work, the reactions of Zn(2+), ZnMe(2), Zn(OMe)(2), Zn(OOCMe)(2), and the heterocubane cluster Zn(4)O(4) with the vulcanization accelerator tetramethylthiuram disulfide (TMTD) and with the related radicals and anions Me(2)NCS(2)(*), Me(2)NCS(3)(*), Me(2)NCS(2)(-), and Me(2)NCS(3)(-) have been studied by quantum chemical methods at the MP2/6-31+G(2df,p)//B3LYP/6-31+G* level of theory. More than 35 zinc complexes have been structurally characterized and the energies of formation from their components calculated for the first time. The binding energy of TMTD as a bidendate ligand increases in the order ZnMe(2)相似文献   

Reversible carbon-carbon bond formation between 1,3-dienes and aldehyde or ketone on nickel(0)

The reversible oxidative cyclization of dienes and aldehydes with nickel(0) proceeded to give eta(3):eta(1)-allylalkoxynickel complexes. The treatment of these complexes with carbon monoxide led to the formation of the corresponding lactone and/or the regeneration of a butadiene and an aldehyde concomitant with the formation of Ni(CO)(3)(PCy(3)). The scission of the nickel-oxygen bond of the allylalkoxy complexes with ZnMe(2) leading to eta(3)-allyl(methyl)nickel was very efficient to suppress the reverse reaction of the oxidative cyclization. The methylated eta(3)-allylnickel compound underwent the reductive elimination. The carbonylative coupling reaction of the eta(3)-allyl(methyl)nickel proceeded as well under a carbon monoxide atmosphere. Similarly, the addition of Me(3)SiCl to eta(3):eta(1)-allylalkoxynickel complexes was also efficient for the inhibition of the reverse reaction. The resulting eta(3)-1-siloxyethylallylnickel complex was treated with carbon monoxides followed by the addition of MeOH to give the expected hydroxyester. This method is efficient as well even for the eta(3):eta(1)-allyl(alkoxy)nickel complex containing acetone as a component, which was so prone to undergo the reverse reaction hampering its isolation. The isolation of the eta(3):eta(1)-allylalkoxynickel complex containing ketone as a component was made easier by the use of heavier butadiene and ketone, such as 2,3-dibenzyl-1,3-butadiene and benzophenone or by the use of cyclobutanone. The reaction with styrene oxide gave the eta(3):eta(1)-allylalkoxynickel containing phenylacetoaldehyde, an isomer of styrene oxide.     

Transannular O-heterocyclization of twelve and thirteen membered trienes by methoxybromination procedure

The reaction of (E,E,Z)-cyclododeca-1.5,9-triene (1) with NBS and methanol gives bicyclic tetrahydrofuran derivatives (3) and (4) as well as usual 1,2-addition products while the related reaction with (Z,E,Z)-cyclotrideca-1,5,9-triene (7) leads to the bicyclic tetrahydropyran derivative (6), in both cases like O-heterocyclization products as the result of transannular participation of a methoxy group.     

β-(Trifluoromethyl)vinyl sulfonium salts: preparation and reactions with active methylene and methenyl compounds

Two trifluoromethyl-substituted building blocks β-(trifluoromethyl)vinyl sulfonium salts 1 and 2 were developed. Reactions of β-(trifluoromethyl)vinyl sulfonium salt 1 with active methylene compounds containing electron-withdrawing groups using DBU as the base in DMSO occurred to give trifluoromethyl-substituted cyclopropane derivatives 7 as the major products. In contrast, reactions of β-(trifluoromethyl)vinyl sulfonium salt 2 with active methylene compounds occurred with the migration of one of the electron-withdrawing groups to give the products 8 as the major products when NaH was used as the base in DMSO. Moreover, when NaH was used as base in THF/CH(2)Cl(2) at -78 °C, reaction of β-(trifluoromethyl)vinyl sulfonium salt 1 gave trifluoromethyl-substituted 2,3-dihydrofuran derivatives 9 as the major products. A working mechanism was proposed to explain the different behaviors of the β-(trifluoromethyl)vinyl sulfonium salts 1 or 2 with active methylene compounds under these different conditions.     

Partially linearized, fully size-extensive, and reduced multireference coupled-cluster methods. II. Applications and performance

The partially linearized (pl), fully size-extensive multireference (MR) coupled-cluster (CC) method, fully accounting for singles (S) and doubles (D) and approximately for a subset of primary higher than doubles, referred to as plMR CCSD, as well as its plMR CCSD(T) version corrected for secondary triples, as described in Part I of this paper [X. Li and J. Paldus, J. Chem. Phys. 128, 144118 (2008)], are applied to the problem of bond breaking in the HF, F2, H2O, and N2 molecules, as well as to the H4 model, using basis sets of a DZ or a cc-pVDZ quality that enable a comparison with the full configuration interaction (FCI) exact energies for a given ab initio model. A comparison of the performance of the plMR CCSD/CCSD(T) approaches with those of the reduced MR (RMR) CCSD/CCSD(T) methods, as well as with the standard single reference (SR) CCSD and CCSD(T) methods, is made in each case. For the H4 model and N2 we also compare our results with the completely renormalized (CR) CC(2,3) method [P. Piecuch and M. W?och, J. Chem. Phys. 123, 224105 (2005)]. An important role of a proper choice of the model space for the MR-type methods is also addressed. The advantages and shortcomings of all these methods are pointed out and discussed, as well as their size-extensivity characteristics, in which case we distinguish supersystems involving noninteracting SR and MR subsystems from those involving only MR-type subsystems. Although the plMR-type approaches render fully size-extensive results, while the RMR CCSD may slightly violate this property, the latter method yields invariably superior results to the plMR CCSD ones and is more easy to apply in highly demanding cases, such as the triple-bond breaking in the nitrogen molecule.     

Surface enhanced vibrational (IR and Raman) spectroscopy in the design of chemosensors based on ester functionalized p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene hosts

Surface-enhanced IR (SEIR) and Raman scattering (SERS) have been employed to study the adsorption of ester functionalized tert-butyl calix[4]arenes on Ag and Au nanostructured surfaces as well as their complexes with pyrene. The influence of adsorption and complexation with pyrene on the host calixarene structure was tested for two different calixarene molecules bearing carboethoxy groups (CH(3)CH(2)COOCH(2)-) in the low rim at positions 1,3- and 1,2,3,4-. The results obtained with SEIR were compared to those obtained with SERS, to better understand the interaction mechanism of the studied calixarenes with the metallic surfaces and the ligand as well as to investigate the structure/selectivity relationship of these two surface techniques in the analysis of recognition problems in which these ester functionalized calixarene molecules are involved.
