Study of intermediates formed in the oxidation of thiols

The oxidation of aminoethanethiol (1) was investigated in acid solutions on a glass carbon anode. It was shown that at relatively low anode potentials thiyl radicals RS^· are released into the solution, but this does not lead to binding of the oxygen in the solution. Raising the anode potential leads to binding of oxygen, which is probably due to the formation of the intermediate RS⁺. The oxidation of 1 was studied in Ce(SO₄)₂+H₂SO₄ solution. It was shown that under certain conditions the intermediate is RS⁺, which subsequently converts to a product that could not be identified as any previously described product of the oxidation of thiols. Proposals are made regarding its structure and conversion pathways.B. P. Konstantinov Institute of Nuclear Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, 188350 Leningrad.

Genetically Encoded Bioluminescent Indicator for ERK2 Dimer in Living Cells

In this study, a genetically encoded bioluminescent indicator for ERK2 dimer was developed with the split Renilla luciferase complementation method, in which the formation of ERK2 dimer induces a spontaneous emission of bioluminescence in living cells. In response to extracellular stimuli, such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) or 17β‐estradiol (E2), extracellular signal‐regulated kinase 2 (ERK2) is phosphorylated by its upstream kinase MEK, and also phosphorylates its substrates in various regions of the cell, including the nucleus. Phosphorylated ERK2 is led to form its dimer, thereby transporting itself into the nucleus. We demonstrated with the indicator that stimulation with EGF or E2 induces the formation of ERK2 dimer in living MCF‐7 cells. The dynamics of this dimer formation was examined and discussed.     

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Electrochemical Properties of a Novel Phenothiazine Derivative

A new compound 1,1‘-bis(3-pyridyl)-propylene(3,7-diformyl-N-ethylphenothiazinyl)ketone (C30H23N3O2S, Mr = 489.4) has been synthesized, and its crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. The crystal is of orthorhombic, space group Ima2 with a = 27.491 (5), b = 11.942(2), c = 7.389(2) A, V = 2425.8(7) A^3, Z = 8, Dc =1.340 g/cm^3,μ = 0,167 mm ^1, F(000) = 1024, the final R = 0.0363 and wR = 0.0869 for 2054 unique reflections with Rint = 0.0254. The structural determination shows that the molecule assumes a butterfly configuration with nearly planar wings. In addition, the electrochemical study indicates that there is a high electronic delocalization in the molecule.     

Electrochemical Oxidation of Compounds Containing 1,4-Dihydropyridine and Pyridinium Rings — Analogs of Gene Transfection Agents

A study was carried out on the electrochemical oxidation of 1,4-dihydropyridines, found as substituents in pyridinium salts, which are strong electron acceptors. The potentials for their oxidation in acetonitrile were determined. NMR spectroscopy was used to find the relative acidity of the N–H and C–H protons and the oxidation potentials were determined for the anionic products of the ionization of the N–H bond in dihydropyridine. The only product of the preparative electrolysis, in contrast to chemical oxidation, is the corresponding pyridine, namely, the oxidized dihydropyridine form.

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Electrochemical Properties of One-dimensional Chain Coordination Polymer [Co(Ⅱ)(C6H5CH=CHCOOH)2(4,4''-bipy)(H2O)5]n

A one-dimensional chain coordination polymer [Co(Ⅱ)(C6H5CH=CHCOOH)2(4,4'-bipy)(H2O)5]n has been synthesized with cinnamylic acid, 4,4'-bipy and cobaltous chloride as raw materials. Crystal data for this complex: monoclinic, space group P21/c, a - 1.1481(3), b =1.1230(2), c = 1.1759(3) nm, β = 97.054(4)°, V = 1.5046(6) nm3, Mr= 617.50, Dc = 1.363 g/cm3, Z= 2, μ(MoKα) = 0.627 mm-1, F(000) = 646, S = 1.062, R 0.0443 and wR = 0.1178. The crystal structure shows that two neighboring cobalt(Ⅱ) ions are linked together by one 4,4'-bipy, and the whole complex molecule adopts a one-dimensional chain structure. Each cobalt(Ⅱ) ion is coordinated with two nitrogen atoms from two 4,4'-bipy molecules and four oxygen atoms from four water molecules, giving a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The electrochemical properties were analyzed by combining with the crystal structure.
