Steroid compounds of marine sponges. VII. Preparation of derivatives of sokotrasterol and halistanol sulfates and structure-activity interrelationships among these compounds

Five new sulfated derivatives of sokotrasterol and halistanol have been obtained: 24-nor-5-cholane-2,3,6,23-tetraol 2,3,6-tri(sodium sulfate); 24-nor-5-cholane-2,3,6,23-tetraol 2,3,6-tri(sodium sulfate) 23-palmitate; 24,25-dimethyl-5-cholestane-2,3,6-triol 3-(sodium sulfate); 24,25-dimethyl-5-cholestane-2,3,6-triol 6-(sodium sulfate); and 24,25-dimethyl-5-cholestane-2,3,6-triol 2,6-di(sodium sulfate). The inhibiting and membranolytic properties of the polysulfated steroids from sponges and their derivatives have been studied. It has been shown that physiological activity in this series of compounds depends on biphilicity.Pacific Ocean Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Far Eastern Scientific Center, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Vladivostok.

Quinazolines X. Synthesis of 6,6'-methylenebisdeoxyvasicinone and its homologs

Summary 6,6-Methylenebisdeoxyvacisinone and its homologs have been synthesized by the reaction of methylenebisanthranilic acid with lactams (-butyrolactam, -valerolactam, -caprolactam, and -chloro- and ,-dichloro--caprolactams). The condensation of anthranilic acid and its derivatives (4-nitro-, 5-bromo-, 5-iodo-, and 5-nitroanthranilic acids) with ,-dichloro--caprolactam has given seven-membered analogs of deoxyvasicinone containing two chlorine atoms in the polymethylene ring.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.

Triterpenoid Glycosides of Fatsia japonica. II. Isolation and Structure of Glycosides from the Leaves

The previously known triterpenoid 3-O--L-arabinopyranosides of oleanolic and echinocystic acids and hederagenin, 3-O--D-glucopyranosyl-(12)-O--L-arabinopyranosides of oleanolic acid and hederagenin, in addition to 28-O--L-rhamnopyranosyl-(14)-O--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)-O--D-glucopyranosyl ethers of the 3-O--L-arabinopyranoside of hederagenin, and 3-O--D-glucopyranosyl-(12)-O--L-arabinopyranosides of oleanolic acid and hederagenin, respectively, are isolated from leaves ofFatsia japonica(Araliaceae). The structures of the glycosides are confirmed by chemical methods and ¹³ C NMR spectroscopy     

Extraction of Polonium from Aqueous α-Hydroxyisobutyric Acid Solutions Using Dioctyl Sulphide, Cyanex 272, Cyanex 301 or Cyanex 302 in Toluene

A study of the extraction of polonium from aqueous solutions containing -hydroxyisobutyric acid (-HIBA) was performed with four different extractants, di-n-octyl sulphide (DOS), Cyanex 272, Cyanex 301 and Cyanex 302, dissolved in toluene. The extracted complex for DOS at low -HIBA concentrations is most likely PoO(-HIB)₂·2DOS, while at higher -HIBA concentrations there seems to be a solvating effect implicating an extracted complex of the type PoO(-HIB)₂(-HIBA)₂·2DOS. For the extraction of polonium with Cyanex 272 the results are inconclusive. The extracted complex is either PoOA₂ or PoO(-HIB)₂·2HA. For extraction with Cyanex 301 or Cyanex 302 the major extracted species does not contain any -HIBA molecules. The neutral species in both cases is PoOA₂, extracted at low extractant concentrations, while at higher extractant concentrations a complex of the type PoOA₂·xHA is extracted. The extraction of polonium increases in the order Cyanex 272 < DOS < Cyanex 302 < Cyanex 301.     

Unusual transformation of trimethylsilyloxyisoxazolidines initiated by the fluoride ion

It was found that opening of the isoxazolidine ring of 6a-isopropenyl-1/-trimethylsilyloxy-3, 3a,4,5,6,6a-hexahydro-(1H)-cyclopent[c]isoxazoles by the F^– ion initially gives an intermediate, a tertiary nitrosocompound detected by UV and NMR spectroscopy. Its transformation, finally, into ,-unsaturated aldoximes probably involves an unprecedented allylic migration of the nitroso group.Deceased.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Conclusions The triterpene glycosides scabiosides D, E, F, and G have been isolated from the roots ofPatrinia scabiosofolia Fisch. et Link. It has been established that scabioside D is O--D-glucopyranosyl-(1 4)-O--L-arabopyranosyl-(1 3)-O-oleanoloyl-(28 1)--D-xylopyranose, and scabioside E is O--D-glucopyranosyl-(1 4)-O--L-arabopyranosyl-(1 3)-O-oleanoloyl-(28 1)-O--D-xylopyranosyl-(4 1)--L-rhamnopyranose.

Triterpene Glycosides of Astragalus and Their Genins. LXI. Occurrence of Cycloartane 6-O-Monodesmosides

Cyclosiversigenin 6-O--L-rhamnopyranoside and 6-O--D-glucopyranoside were isolated fromAstragalus coluteocarpusBoiss. (Leguminosae) andAstragalus dissectusB. Fedtsch. et N. Ivanova, respectively. Cyclosiversigenin 5-O--L-rhamnopyranoside was shown to be an artifact forAstragalus coluteocarpus.Thus, the cyclosiversigenin 6-O--D-glucopyranoside that was isolated from certainAstragalusspecies is hypothesized also to be an artifact. Glycosylation of the 6 -hydroxyl group of cycloartanes by D-glucose and D-xylose, in contrast with other substituents, does not change the low-field position of the PMR signal of the 4-CH ₃ group (1.65 2.01 ppm) that is caused by the influence of deuteropyridine directly on the 6 -hydroxyl. Obviously one of the hydroxyls of the -D-glucopyranoside or -D-xylopyranoside residues has the same effect in this instance.     

Crystallochemical Aspect of Phase Formation in the γ-FeOOH-H2O-NaOH System

Phase transition of metastable -FeOOH into -FeOOH and its chemical transformation into -Fe₂O₃ upon hydrothermal treatment in 0-5 M NaOH solutions at 100-230°C were studied. The regions of formation of the above phases were specified. The probable composition of the crystallizing complexes formed in the solutions and the reactions occurring at their incorporation into various atomically smooth faces of -FeOOH and -Fe₂O₃ were considered.

Complex polarizability as used to analyze dielectric relaxation measurements

The effect of representing dielectric properties in terms of the complex polarizability ^c = – i is examined. Loss curves ( and tan ) are shifted towards higher frequencies, revealing the existence of new relaxations and allowing the clarifications of ones already known. We have calculated the shift ratios (at maximum or tan )/ (at maximum or tan ) from the more conventional empirical equations representing the dielectric behavior. Some examples are given.

Determination of the absolute configuration of carbohydrate components of flavonol glycosides of the chestnut

Conclusions On the basis of the rates of their acid hydrolysis, their optical activities, and their IR spectra, it has been established that the glycosides ofAesculus hippocastanum L. are (SK-1) 3--L-arabofuranosyloxy-5,7,4-trihydroxyflavone, (SK-2) 3--L-rhamnofuranosyloxy-5,7,4-trihydroxyflavone, (SK-3) 3--L-arabofuranosyloxy-5,7,3,4-tetrahydroxyflavone, and (SK-4) 3--L-rhamnofuranosyloxy-5,7,3,4-tetrahydroxyflavone.The glycoside SK-3 is identical with avicularin isolated from the leaves ofPsidium quajava [5].
