Determination of several retinoids, carotenoids and E vitamers by high-performance liquid chromatography. Application to plasma and tissues of rats fed a diet rich in either beta-carotene or canthaxanthin.

A method, using two different systems, is described for the high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis of retinol, retinal, retinoic acid, retinyl acetate, retinyl palmitate, alpha-, beta- and gamma-carotene, beta-apo-6'-, beta-apo-8', beta-apo-10'- and beta-apo-12'-carotenal, ethyl beta-apo-8'-carotenoate, alpha-tocopherol and alpha-tocopheryl acetate. The first system consists of a laboratory-packed Hypersil-ODS 3-microns column and a mobile phase of acetonitrile-methylene chloride-methanol-water (70:10:15:5, v/v). The second system consists of a laboratory-packed Hypersil-ODS 3-microns column and a mobile phase of acetonitrile-methylene chloride-methanol-water (70:10:15:5, v/v). The second system consists of a laboratory-packed Nucleosil C18 3-microns column and a mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.1 M ammonium acetate (80:20, v/v). The detection limits in standard solutions were 10 ng/ml for retinoids and carotenoids and 60 ng/ml for the E vitamers. Analysis of the tissues and plasma of rats, after 2 weeks on a diet supplemented with either beta-carotene or canthaxanthin (both 2 mg/g), led to the conclusion that the rats were able both to transport and store beta-carotene and canthaxanthin and to convert beta-carotene to retinol. Incubation of cytosol preparations from the mucosa of the small intestine of rat with 1 microgram of beta-carotene resulted in the formation of 10-20 ng of retinal within 1 h.     

气相色谱-质谱法测定玩具中的4种阻燃剂

建立了玩具中三(2-氯乙基)磷酸酯、磷酸三邻甲苯酯、2,2′,4,4′,5-五溴联苯醚、2,2′,3,3′,4,4′,6,6′-八溴联苯醚等4种阻燃剂的气相色谱-质谱分析方法。玩具样品以V(正己烷):V(二氯甲烷)=1:1混合溶液为提取溶剂,超声提取30min,提取液以DB-5HT石英毛细管色谱柱(15m×0.25mm×0.10μm)分离后进行选择离子监测模式下的定性及定量分析。4种阻燃剂的定量限为0.1mg/kg,在低、中、高3个添加水平范围内,4种阻燃剂的平均回收率为93.5%～97.3%,相对标准偏差在2.4%～4.1%之间。     

Controlled Double-Bond Migration in Palladium-Catalyzed Intramolecular Arylation of Enamidines

Palladium-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of N-(N'-tert-butylformimidoyl)-6-[2-(2-iodophenyl)ethyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine (1a) and N-(N'-tert-butylformimidoyl)-6-[3-(2-iodophenyl)propyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine (1b) respectively results in formation of spiro compounds 1'-(N-tert-butylformimidoyl)-3',4'-dihydrospiro[indan-1,2'(1'H)-pyridine] (4a), 1'-(N-tert-butylformimidoyl)-1',6'-dihydrospiro[indan-1,2'(3'H)-pyridine] (5a), and 1'-(N-tert-butylformimidoyl)-5',6'-dihydrospiro[indan-1,2'(1'H)-pyridine] (6a) and 1'-(N-tert-butylformimidoyl)-3,3',4,4'-tetrahydrospiro[naphthalene-1(2H),2'(1'H)-pyridine] (4b), 1'-(N-tert-butylformimidoyl)-1',3,4,6'-tetrahydrospiro[naphthalene-1(2H),2'(3'H)-pyridine] (5b), and 1'-(N-tert-butylformimidoyl)-3,4,5',6'-tetrahydrospiro[naphthalene-1(2H),2'(1'H)-pyridine] (6b). The double-bond migration process can be controlled, and any of the three double-bond isomers can be prepared by employing proper ligands. A combination of BINAP and the amidine function was required to obtain the isomers 5a and 5b with the double bond in the homoallylic position relative to the aryl group. An electrospray ionization mass spectrometric study was conducted to support suggested reaction intermediates.     

Simultaneous determination of stable isotopically labelled L-histidine and urocanic acid in human plasma by stable isotope dilution mass spectrometry.

A capillary gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric method for the simultaneous determination of stable isotopically labelled L-histidine (L-[3,3-2H2,1',3'-15N2]histidine, L-His-[M + 4]) and urocanic acid ([3-2H,1',3'-15N2]urocanic acid, UA-[M + 3]) in human plasma was developed using DL-[2,3,3,5'-2H4,2'-13C,1',3'-15N2]histidine (DL-His-[M + 7]) and [2,3,5'-2H3,2'-13C,1',3'-15N2]urocanic acid (UA-[M + 6]) as internal standards. L-Histidine and urocanic acid were derivatized to alpha N-(trifluoroacetyl)-imN-(ethoxycarbonyl)-L-histidine n-butyl ester and imN-(ethoxycarbonyl)urocanic acid n-butyl ester. Quantification was carried out by selected ion monitoring of the molecular ions of the respective derivatives of L-His-[M + 4], DL-His-[M + 7], UA-[M + 3] and UA-[M + 6]. The sensitivity, specificity, precision and accuracy of the method were demonstrated to be satisfactory for measuring plasma concentrations of L-His-[M + 4] and UA-[M + 3] following administration of trace amounts of L-His-[M + 4] to humans.     

Extreme electronic modulation of the cofacial porphyrin structural motif

The synthesis, electrochemistry, and optical spectroscopy of an extensive series of cofacial bis[(porphinato)zinc(II)] compounds are reported. These species were synthesized using sequential palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling and cobalt-mediated [2+2+2] cycloaddition reactions. This modular methodology enables facile control of the nature of macrocycle-to-macrocycle connectivity and allows unprecedented modulation of the redox properties of face-to-face porphyrin species. We report the synthesis of 5,6-bis[(5',5'-10',20'-bis[4-(3-methoxy-3-methylbutoxy)phenyl]porphinato)zinc(II)]indane (1), 5,6-bis[(2'-5',10',15',20'-tetraphenylporphinato)zinc(II)]indane (2), 5-([2'-5',10',15',20'-tetraphenylporphinato]zinc(II))-6-[(5"-10',20'-bis[4-(3-methoxy-3-methylbutoxy)phenyl]porphinato)zinc(II)]indane (3), 5-([2'-5',10',15',20'-tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)porphinato]zinc(II))-6-[(5' '-10' ',20' '-bis[4-(3-methoxy-3-methylbutoxy)phenyl]porphinato)zinc(II)]indane (4), 5-(2'-5',10',15',20'-[tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)porphinato]zinc(II))-6-[(2'-5',10',15',20'-tetraphenylporphinato)zinc(II)]indane (5), 5,6-bis([2'-5',15'-diphenyl-10',20'-(trifluoromethyl)porphinato]zinc(II))indane (6), and 5,6-bis([2'-5',10',15',20'-tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)porphinato]zinc(II))indane (7); 4-7 define the first examples of cofacial bis[(porphinato)metal] compounds in which sigma-electron-withdrawing perfluoroalkyl groups serve as macrocycle substituents, while 2, 6, and 7 constitute the first such structures that possess a beta-to-beta linkage topology. Cyclic voltammetric studies show that the electrochemically determined HOMO and LUMO energy levels of these cofacial bis(porphinato) complexes can be lowered by 780 and 945 mV, respectively, relative to the archetypal members of this class of compounds; importantly, these orbital energy levels can be modulated over well-defined increments throughout these wide potentiometric domains. Analyses of these cofacial bis[(porphinato)metal] potentiometric data, in terms of the absolute and relative frontier orbital energies of their constituent [porphinato]zinc(II) building blocks, as well as the nature of macrocycle-to-macrocycle connectivity, provide predictive electronic structural models that rationalize the redox behavior of these species.     

光诱导有机化合物异构化反应的研究——Ⅹ. 吲哚啉螺吡喃瞬态吸收光谱的研究

Calix[6]arene derivatives selectively functionalized at alternate sites on the smaller rim with 2-phenylpyridine and 2-fluorenylpyridine substituents to provide deep cavities

The synthesis is described of calix[6]arene derivatives 4, 9, and 14 functionalized at alternate sites on the smaller rim with 4'-(pyrid-2' '-yl)phenylmethoxy, (6'-phenylpyrid-3'-ylmethoxy), and {6'-[2-(9,9-di-n-hexylfluorenyl)]pyrid-3'-ylmethoxy} substituents, respectively. They were obtained by 3-fold reactions of 2-[4-(bromomethyl)phenyl]pyridine (3), 5-(bromomethyl)-2-phenylpyridine (8), and 5-(bromomethyl)-2-(9,9-di-n-hexylfluorenyl)pyridine (13) with the 1,3,5-trimethylether of the t-Bu-calix[6]arene in the presence of sodium hydride in THF in 56-75% yields. Detailed analysis of the 1H NMR spectra (including variable-temperature data for 4) has established that 4, 9, and 14 exist predominantly in the C3v cone conformation with minor Cs isomers also observed. The X-ray crystal structure of 4 reveals two molecules of similar cone conformation, with all three 4'-(pyrid-2' '-yl)phenylmethoxy substituents stretched in the axial direction. Molecule I has a dimeric capsule structure with (pyrid-2' '-yl)phenylmethoxy substituents of one molecule interpenetrating those of its inversion equivalent to form a deep enclosed intermolecular cavity, which contains a CH2Cl2 guest molecule. Molecule II forms no such pair: the intramolecular cavity is filled with solvent molecules.     

Determination of alpha-solanine and alpha-chaconine in potatoes by high-performance thin-layer chromatography/densitometry

A high-performance thin-layer chromatographic (HPTLC) method was used to determine the glycoalkaloids alpha-solanine and alpha-chaconine in potatoes. Alpha-solanine and alpha-chaconine are extracted from dehydrated potatoes with boiling methanol-acetic acid (95 + 5, v/v). The analytes are separated on a Silica Gel 60 F254 HPTLC plate by a saturated mixture of dichloromethane-methanol-water-concentrated ammonium hydroxide (70 + 30 + 4 + 0.4, v/v), which is used for vertical development of the plate up to a distance of 85 mm. For visualization, the plate is dipped 3 times into a modified Carr-Price reagent, 20% (w/v) antimony(III) chloride in acetic acid-dichloromethane (1 + 3, v/v), and subsequently heated on a hot plate at 105 degrees C for 5 min. The glycoalkaloids all appear as red chromatographic zones on a colorless background. Densitometric quantification is performed at 507 nm by reflectance scanning. After determination of the appropriate response function, the proposed method was validated. Good results with respect to linearity, accuracy, and precision were obtained in the concentration range studied.     

2'-hydroxypyridoxol, a biosynthetic precursor of vitamins B(6) and B(1) in yeast

In separate experiments cultures of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATTC 7752 were grown in the presence of [5',5'-2H2]- or of [2',2',5',5'-2H4]-3-hydroxy-2,4,5-tri(hydroxymethyl)pyridine (i.e., 2'-hydroxypyridoxol). The 2H NMR spectra of the samples of pyridoxamine dihydrochloride and of thiamin chloride hydrochloride that were isolated from the two experiments showed the presence of deuterium at the corresponding sites. Entry of deuterium from the specifically 2H-labeled samples of 2'-hydroxypyridoxol into the predicted sites of pyridoxamine and of the pyrimidine unit of thiamin provides the first unequivocal evidence that, in yeast, 2'-hydroxypyridoxol is an intermediate on the route from a C5-sugar into vitamin B6, and adds to the evidence that pyridoxol serves as a precursor of the pyrimidine unit of thiamin, supplying the C5N unit, C-2',2,N-1,C-6,5,5' as an intact unit.     

Solution self-assembly, spontaneous deprotonation, and crystal structures of bipyrazolate-bridged metallomacrocycles with dimetal centers

A series of nanosized cavity-containing bipyrazolate-bridged metallomacrocycles with dimetal centers, namely, {[(bpy)M]8L4}(NO3)8 [L=3,3',5,5'-tetramethyl-4,4'-bipyrazolyl, Pd, Pt; 1,4-bis-4'-(3',5'-dimethyl)-pyrazolylbenzene), Pd; and 1,4-bis-4'-(3',5'-dimethyl)-pyrazolylbiphenyl, Pd], {[(phen)M]8L4}(NO3)8 [L=3,3',5,5'-tetramethyl-4,4'-bipyrazolyl, Pd, Pt; 1,4-bis-4'-(3',5'-dimethyl)-pyrazolylbenzene, Pd; and 1,4-bis-4'-(3',5'-dimethyl)-pyrazolylbiphenyl, Pd], {[(bpy)Pd]6L3}(NO3)6 [L=1,4-bis-4'-(3',5'-dimethyl)-pyrazolylbenzene,], {[(phen)Pd]6L3}(NO3)6 [L=1,4-bis-4'-(3',5'-dimethyl)-pyrazolylbenzene,], {[(bpy)Pd]4L2}(NO3)4 [L=1,3-bis-4'-(3',5'-dimethyl)-pyrazolylbenzene, and 1,2-bis-4'-(3',5'-dimethyl)-pyrazolylbenzene,], and {[(phen)Pd]4L2}(NO3)4 [L=1,3-bis-4'-(3',5'-dimethyl)-pyrazolylbenzene, and 1,2-bis-4'-(3',5'-dimethyl)-pyrazolylbenzene,] (where bpy=2,2'-bipyridine and phen=1,10-phenanthroline) have been synthesized through a directed self-assembly approach that involves spontaneous deprotonation of the 1H-bipyrazolyl ligands in aqueous solution. These complexes, with weak Pd(II)...Pd(II) or Pt(II)...Pt(II) interactions, have been characterized by elemental analysis, 1H and 13C NMR, cold-spray ionization or electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, UV-visible spectroscopy, and luminescence spectroscopy. Complexes and have also been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Improved preparation of (1S,3’R,4’S,5’S,6’R)-5-chloro-6-[(4-ethylphenyl)methyl]-3’,4’,5’,6’-tetrahydro-6’-(hydroxymethyl)-spiro[isobenzofuran-1(3H),2’-[2H]pyran]-3’,4’,5’-triol

A convenient approach for the preparation of(1S,3’R.4’S,5’S,6’R)-5-chloro-6-[(4-ethylphenyl)methyl]- 3’,4’,5’,6’-tetrahydro-6’-(hydroxymethyl)-spiro[isobenzofuran-1(3H),2’-[2H]pyran]-3’,4’,5’-triol is developed. The targeted compound was synthesized from 2-bromo-4-methylbenzoic acid in nine steps and the isomers of undesired ortho-products were avoided during the preparation.     

5,6-dihydroxyindole tetramers with "anomalous" interunit bonding patterns by oxidative coupling of 5,5',6,6'-tetrahydroxy-2,7'-biindolyl: emerging complexities on the way toward an improved model of eumelanin buildup

Chemical or enzymatic oxidation of 5,6-dihydroxyindole (1) leads to the rapid deposition of a black solid resembling eumelanin pigments by way of a complex oligomerization/polymerization process that proceeds in the early stages via dimers 2-3 and trimers 5-6 characterized by 2,4'- and 2,7'-couplings. Despite extensive efforts, the structures of the higher oligomers, which define the structural architecture and physicochemical properties of the eumelanin particles, have so far defied elucidation. Using a dimer-dimer coupling strategy that has recently allowed the first successful entry to a tetramer of 1, we report now three additional tetramers obtained by oxidation of 5,5',6,6'-tetrahydroxy-2,7'-biindolyl (3) with the peroxidase/H2O2 system. On the basis of extensive 2D NMR and mass spectrometric analysis, the products were identified as 5,5',5',5',6,6',6',6'-octaacetoxy-7,2':3',3':2',7'-tetraindolyl (acetylated 8, 3%), 5,5',5',5',6,6',6',6' '-octaacetoxy-2,7':4',4':7',2'-tetraindolyl (acetylated 9, 4%), and 5,5',5',5',6,6',6',6'-octaacetoxy-2,7':2',3':2',7'-tetraindolyl (acetylated 10, 5%), in which the inner units are linked through unexpected 3,3'-, 4,4'-, and 2,3'-linkages. If verified in further studies, the newly uncovered coupling patterns would entail important consequences for current models of eumelanin structure based on one-dimensional structural chains with extended pi-electron conjugation or pi-stacked flat oligomer aggregates.     

Total synthesis of 2',3',4',5',5' '-(2)h(5)-ribonucleosides: the key building blocks for NMR structure elucidation of large RNA

The diastereospecific chemical syntheses of uridine-2',3',4',5',5' '-(2)H(5) (21a), adenosine-2',3',4',5',5' '-(2)H(5) (21b), cytidine-2',3',4',5',5' '-(2)H(5)(2)H(5) (21c), and guanosine-2',3',4',5',5' '-(2)H(5) (21d) (>97 atom % (2)H at C2', C3', C4', and C5'/C5' ') have been achieved for their use in the solution NMR structure determination of oligo-RNA by the Uppsala "NMR-window" concept (refs 4a-c, 5a, 6), in which a small (1)H segment is NMR-visible, while the rest is made NMR-invisible by incorporation of the deuterated blocks 21a-d. The deuterated ribonucleosides 21a-d have been prepared by the condensation of appropriately protected aglycone with 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-(4-toluoyl)-alpha/beta-D-ribofuranose-2,3,4,5,5'-(2)H(5) (19), which has been obtained via diastereospecific deuterium incorporation at the C2 center of appropriate D-ribose-(2)H(4) derivatives either through an oxidation-reduction-inversion sequence or a one-step deuterium-proton exchange in high overall yield (44% and 24%, respectively).     

Prenylated flavonoids with PTP1B inhibitory activity from the root bark of Erythrina mildbraedii

Phytochemical study on an EtOAc-soluble extract of the root bark of Erythrina mildbraedii resulted in the isolation of six prenylated flavonoids 1-6. Based on physicochemical and spectroscopic analyses, their structures were determined to be new natural products licoflavanone-4'-O-methyl ether (1), 2',7-dihydroxy-4'-methoxy-5'-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)isoflavone (2), and (3R)-2',7-dihydroxy-3'-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-2',2'-dimethylpyrano[5',6' :4',5']isoflavan (3), along with three known compounds erythrinin B (4), abyssinin II (5), and parvisoflavone B (6). All the isolates, except for compound 4, inhibited PTP1B activity in vitro with IC(50) values ranging from 5.3 to 42.6 microM. This result further suggests that the prenyl group on the B ring of flavonoids plays an important role in suppressing the enzyme PTP1B.     

Ruthenium(ii) bis(terpyridine) electron transfer complexes with alkynyl-ferrocenyl bridges: synthesis, structures, and electrochemical and spectroscopic studies

Two novel alkynyl-bridged symmetric bis-tridentate ligands 1,2-bis(1'-[4'-(2,2':6',2'-terpyridinyl)]ferrocenyl)ethyne (; tpy-Fc-C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-Fc-tpy; Fc = ferrocenyl; tpy = terpyridyl) and 1,4-bis(1'-[4'-(2,2':6',2'-terpyridinyl)]ferrocenyl)-1,3-butadiyne (; tpy-Fc-C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-Fc-tpy) and their Ru(2+) complexes and have been synthesized and characterized by cyclic voltammetry, UV-vis and luminescence spectroscopy, and in the case of by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

A methodology for radiolabeling of the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG)

The metabolic intermediate and endocannabinoid signaling lipid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) has not been readily labeled, primarily because of its instability toward rearrangement. We now detail a synthetic method that easily gives tritiated 2-AG from [5,6,8,9,11,12,14,15-(3)H(N)]arachidonic acid in two steps. We utilized a short chain 1,3-diacylglycerol and proceeded through the "structured lipid" [5',6',8',9',11',12',14',15'-(3)H(N)]2-arachidonoyl-1,3-dibutyrylglycerol, a triacylglycerol that was conveniently deprotected in ethanol with acrylic beads containing Candida antarctica lipase B to give [5',6',8',9',11',12',14',15'-(3)H(N)]2-arachidonoylglycerol ([(3)H]2-AG). The flash chromatographic separation necessary to isolate the labeled 2-acylglycerol [(3)H]2-AG resulted in only 4% of the rearrangement byproducts that have been a particular problem with previous methodologies. This reliable "kit" method to prepare the radiolabeled endocannabinoid as needed gave tritiated 2-arachidonoylglycerol [(3)H]2-AG with a specific activity of 200 Ci/mmol for enzyme assays, metabolic studies, and tissue imaging. It has been run on unlabeled materials on over 10 mg scales and should be generally applicable to other 2-acylglycerols.

Trinuclear copper(II) complex showing high selectivity for the hydrolysis of 2'-5' over 3'-5' for UpU and 3'-5' over 2'-5' for ApA ribonucleotides

The cooperative action of multiple Cu(II) nuclear centers is shown to be effective and selective in the hydrolysis of 2'-5' and 3'-5' ribonucleotides. Reported herein is the specific catalysis by two trinuclear Cu(II) complexes of L3A and L3B. Pseudo first-order kinetic studies reveal that the L3A trinuclear Cu(II) complex effects hydrolysis of Up(2'-5')U with a rate constant of 28 x 10(-)(4) min(-)(1) and Up(3'-5')U with a rate constant of 0.5 x 10(-)(4) min(-)(1). The hydrolyses of Ap(3'-5')A and Ap(2'-5')A proceed with rate constants of 24 x 10(-)(4) min(-)(1) and 0.5 x 10(-)(4) min(-)(1) respectively. The L3A trinuclear Cu(II) complex demonstrates high specificity for Up(2'-5')U and Ap(3'-5')A. Similar studies with the more rigid L3B trinuclear Cu(II) complex shows no selectivity and yields lower rate constants for hydrolysis. The selectivity observed with the L3A ligand is attributed to the geometry of the ligand-bound diribonucleotide which ultimately dictates the proximity of the attacking hydroxyl and the phosphoester to a Cu(II) center for activation and subsequent hydrolysis.
