Two Dimensional 1HNMR Studies on 2′5′-Dideoxyadenosylcobalamin

The ¹HNMR spectrum of 2′,5′-dideoxyadenosylcobalamin, a Coenzyme B₁₂(5′-deoxyadenosylcobalamin) analogue, has been assigned by 2D COSY. Its proton coupling constants have also been measured by J-resolved experiment. The comparison between the analogue and Coenzyme B¹² was made.     

Voltammetric Determination of 2′‐Deoxyadenosine and Adenine in Urine of Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using Fullerene‐C60‐modified Glassy Carbon Electrode

A fullerene‐C₆₀‐modified glassy carbon electrode has been examined for the simultaneous determination of 2′‐deoxyadenosine (2′‐dAdo) and adenine in human blood and urine using Osteryoung square‐wave voltammetry (OSWV) at pH 7.2. Compared to bare glassy carbon electrode (GCE), the modified electrode displays a shift of the oxidation potential in the negative direction with significant increase in the peak current for both the analytes. At modified electrode well‐defined anodic peaks at potential of 1248 mV and 994 mV are observed for 2′‐dAdo and adenine respectively. Linear calibration curves were obtained within the concentration range 10 nM to 100 μM for both the compounds in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution (PBS) with the limit of detection 0.8×10^?8 M and 0.95×10^?8 M for 2′‐dAdo and adenine respectively. The analytical utility of the present method is demonstrated by quantitative detection of 2′‐dAdo and adenine in human urine of normal subjects as well as in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Interfering effect of some coexisting metabolites has also been reported.     

The first Cu- and amine-free Sonogashira-type cross-coupling in the C-6-alkynylation of protected 2′-deoxyadenosine

The Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction offers a convenient route to C(sp)-C(sp²) bond formation. Although the Sonogashira reaction has traditionally been carried out in the presence of Pd catalyst and a co-catalyst of Cu(I) salt, the use of Cu(I) salt is often not efficient because it leads to the formation of unwanted side-products. This has prompted interest in recent years in the development of Cu-free Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction conditions. In addition, the development of Cu-free Sonogashira cross-coupling conditions for the alkynylation of nucleoside derivatives remains largely unexplored. Herein, we demonstrate that Cu- and amine-free Sonogashira-type cross-coupling lead to successful alkynylation of aryl bromides and heteroaryl bromides. For the first time, we have extended this method for the alkynylation of protected 2′-deoxyadenosine at the C-6 position.
