Remarkable supramolecular catalysis of glycoside hydrolysis by a cyclodextrin cyanohydrin

(6AR,6DR)-6A,6D-di-C-cyano-beta-cyclodextrin (3) was synthesized and shown to catalyze hydrolysis of nitrophenyl glycosides with the reaction following Michaelis-Menten kinetics. At pH 7.4 and 25 degrees C, hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl-beta-glucopyranoside (2) was catalyzed with KM = 15 mM, kcat = 8.2 x 10-6 s-1, and kcat/kuncat = 1217. Catalysis was observed with concentration of 3 as low as 10 muM. Hydrolysis of the corresponding alpha-glucoside, alpha-galactoside, alpha-mannoside, and 2-nitrophenyl-beta-galactoside was also catalyzed by 3, with kcat/kuncat ranging from 283 to 2147. A series of analogues of 3 was prepared and investigated for catalysis of the hydrolysis of 2: (6AR,6DR)-6A,6D-di-C-propyl-beta-cyclodextrin (9) was not catalytic, while 6A,6D-di-C-cyano-6A,6D-dideoxy-beta-cyclodextrin (12) had a low catalytic activity (kcat/kuncat = 4). A kcat/kuncat = 48 was found for 6A,6D-dialdehydo-beta-cyclodextrin dihydrate (11). It was proposed that 3 acts by general acid catalysis on the bound substrate.

Purine N-oxides: XXXVII. Derivatives from 6-chloropurine 3-oxide

Interaction of 6-chloropurine 3-oxide with several amines led to 6-substituted purine 3-oxides. 6-Chloropurine 3-oxide and selenourea gave 6-selenopurine 3-oxide. 6-Mereaptopurine 3-oxide, prepared from the 6-chloro derivative and ammonium dithioearbonate, was transformed with chlorine and hydrogen fluoride into 6-purinesulfonyl fluoride 3-oxide which upon ammonolysis afforded purine-6-sulfonamide 3-oxide. Methanelhiol and 6-ehloropurint: 3-oxide yielded the known 6-methylthiopurine 3-oxide, which by treatment with chlorine was oxidized to 6-methyl-sulfonylpurine 3-oxide. Reaction of the latter with hydroxylamine led to an improved synthesis of 6-hydroxylaminopurine 3-oxide, which by interaction with manganese dioxide was transformed into 6-nitrosopurine 3-oxide.

Comparison of Stereoselectivity of Intramolecular Cyclization of Aldehydes Tethered with Conjugated Esters Induced by O-Stannyl and O-Samarium Ketyls to Form the Tetrahydrofuran Ring Systems

Several (E)- and (Z)-ω-formyl-5-oxa-2-substituted-α,β-unsaturated esters ( 6Za-6Zc; 6Ea-6Ec; 6Eb′-6Ec′; 6Zb′-6Zc′ ) were prepared in high yields. They were subjected to cyclization of their intramolecular ketyl radicals induced by either samarium(II) iodide or tributyltin hydride. These two reagents gave distinct stereoselectivities. More bicylic lactone than monocyclic hydroxy-ester was formed when tributyltin hydride was used, but the opposite stereoselectivity was obtained when samarium(II) iodide was used. The effect of double-bond configuration, heteroatom and substituent on stereoselectivity is described.     

Synthesis and pharmacological activity of sulfate conjugates at 6-position of N-substituted normorphine derivatives.

Three pairs of N-substituted normorphine derivatives and the sulfate conjugates at the 6-position were tested for the analgesic and antagonistic activities and the development of physical dependence in mice. The compounds examined were nalorphine, nalorphine-6-sulfate (N-6-S), N-cyclopropylmethylnormorphine (CPN), N-cyclopropylmethylnormorphine-6-sulfate (C-6-S), N-dimethylallylnormorphine (DMN) and N-dimethylallylnormorphine-6-sulfate (D-6-S). The latter two pairs were newly synthesized. The analgesic activity of C-6-S and D-6-S was equipotent to that of CPN and DMN by the acetic acid writhing test on the s.c. injection, and the activity of N-6-S was about 2 times more potent than that of nalorphine. The antagonistic activity of N-6-S, C-6-S and D-6-S to morphine analgesia was higher than that of the parent compounds by the tail pinch test on i.c.v. injection. A withdrawal sign was seen in mice treated chronically with CPN, C-6-S and N-6-S by challenge with naloxone, whereas the mice treated with DMN, D-6-S and nalorphine showed no such sign. The effect of sulfation at the 6-position on the development of physical dependence was not well associated with the effect on agonistic and antagonistic activities.     

Characterization of the Interaction of 6-Thioguanine with Human Serum Albumin by Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering and Molecular Modeling

The interaction of 6-thioguanine and human serum albumin was investigated by fluorescence, ultraviolet-visible absorption, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering. The fluorescence of human serum albumin decreased with the concentration of 6-thioguanine, and the fluorescence quenching of human serum albumin by 6-thioguanine was static. Molecular modeling showed that 6-thioguanine was located in the hydrophobic cavity in subdomain IIA of human serum albumin. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering was combined with density function theory to characterize the orientation of 6-thioguanine on gold and the 6-thioguanine functional groups bonded to human serum albumin. The 6-thioguanine was shown to be tilted on the gold surface by a N-C?S moiety. The binding sites of 6-thioguanine to human serum albumin were the NH and amino groups of the pyrimidine ring of 6-thioguanine. This study may provide information regarding the metabolism of anticancer pharmaceuticals in the human body and assist in the development of effective compounds.     

GAP JUNCTIONAL INTERCELLULAR COMMUNICATION (GJIC) IN RAT GLIOMA CELLS — CHARACTERIZATIONS TO DETECT INHIBITORS OF METABOLIC COOPERATION

Gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) as measured by metabolic cooperation was examined in a rat glioma cell line P_(98)F_(47). X-ray induced mutants of P_(98)F_(47) cells were grown in 6-thioguanine selective medium (6TG medium) to separate 6TG-resistant HGPRT- mutant cells (6TG~r). By co-culturing 200 6TG~r cells with varied high densities of the wild type 6TG-sensitive cells (6TG~s), it was found that the recovery of 6TG~r cells depended on the density of 6TG~s cells. Higher densities of 6TG~s cells reduced the recovery of 6TG~r cells. These results demonstrate the ability of P_(98)F_(47) cells to perform metabolic cooperation which is indicative of GJIC. When metabolic cooperation was inhibited, increased recovery of 6TG~r cells was observed. Presented results also demonstrate metabolic cooperation between P_(98)F_(47) glioma cells and normal rat glial cells. Effect of tumor promoting chemicals on metabolic cooperation of P_(98)F_(47) cells was studied.~3H-uridine nucleot de echnique was     

Gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) in rat glioma cells--characterizations to detect inhibitors of metabolic cooperation

Gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) as measured by metabolic cooperation was examined in a rat glioma cell line P98F47. X-ray induced mutants of P98F47 cells were grown in 6-thioguanine selective medium (6TG medium) to separate 6TG-resistant HGPRT- mutant cells (6TGr). By co-culturing 200 6TGr cells with varied high densities of the wild type 6TG-sensitive cells (6TGs), it was found that the recovery of 6TGr cells depended on the density of 6TGs cells. Higher densities of 6TGs cells reduced the recovery of 6TGr cells. These results demonstrate the ability of P98F47 cells to perform metabolic cooperation which is indicative of GJIC. When metabolic cooperation was inhibited, increased recovery of 6TGr cells was observed. Presented results also demonstrate metabolic cooperation between P98F47 glioma cells and normal rat glial cells. Effect of tumor promoting chemicals on metabolic cooperation of P98F47 cells was studied. 3H-uridine nucleotide autoradiography technique was used to confirm the above observations. The results suggest that these cells may provide the basis for an in vitro assay specially to study brain tumor promoters and neurotoxins.     

Hydroxymethylation and aminomethylation of 6-mercaptopurine and its derivatives

Labile aminomethyl and hydroxymethyl derivatives of 6-mercaptopurine (I) (6-MP) and S⁶-acyloxymethyl-6-MP have been converted to stable acetyloxymethyl derivatives by their reaction with acetic anhydride. Analysis of the reaction products and comparison of their 'H nmr spectra and hplc chromatograms with those of acetyloxymethyl derivatives of known structures suggested 1) that the aminomethyl derivatives of 6-MP were 7-substituted derivatives, 2) that the aminomethyl derivative of S⁶-acetyloxylmethyl-6-MP was a 9-derivative, 3) that the hydroxymethyl derivative of 6-MP was a mixture of 7-substituted and S⁶,3-disubstitu-ted derivatives, and 4) that the hydroxymethyl derivative of S⁶-pivaloyloxymethyl-6-MP was a 9-substituted derivative. In addition, a previously unreported dialkyl derivative of 6-MP VI was isolated from its reaction with aminomethylating agent and characterized. Analyses of the 'H nmr spectra and hplc chromatograms of the reaction of VI with acetic anhydride suggested that VI was a 1,7-disubstituted derivative.

Comparison of 6‐mercaptopurine with 6‐thioguanine for the analysis of thiopurine S‐methyltransferase activity in human erythrocyte by LC–MS/MS

Thiopurines (TPDs) are first‐line drugs in treating neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD). Evaluation of thiopurine S‐ methyltransferase activity (TPMT), a major determinant of TPD toxicity, before TPD treatment using 6‐mercaptopurine (6‐MP) and 6‐thioguanine (6‐TG) as substrate was suggested. However, the equivalent of the two substrates in TPMT activity evaluation was unknown, and an alternative substrate was required in TPMT activity evaluation in patients who were already taking 6‐MP or 6‐TG. Before evaluating the agreement of 6‐MP and 6‐TG in TPMT activity measurement in patients with NMOSD, the affinity of the two substrates for the active center of TPMT should be established. A computer‐based simulation indicated that 6‐MP and 6‐TG had similar affinities for the two active sites of TPMT. According to the guidelines, an LC–MS/MS method was developed and validated to evaluate the TPMT activity in human erythrocyte hemolysate using 6‐MP or 6‐TG as substrates via 1 h incubation at 37°C. The method was applied in 81 patients with NMOSD. Evaluated by Bland–Altman plot, 6‐methylmercaptopurine and 6‐methylthioguanine represented TPMT activities were in agreement with each other. Further studies are warranted to confirm the results.     

Modular and practical synthesis of 6-substituted pyridin-3-yl C-nucleosides

A novel modular and practical methodology for preparation of 6-substituted pyridin-3-yl C-nucleosides was developed. The Heck reaction of 2-chloro-5-iodopyridine with a 3'-TBDMS-protected glycal gave a 6-chloropyridin-3-yl nucleoside analogue, which was then desilylated, selectively reduced, and reprotected to give the TBDMS-protected 6-chloropyridin-3-yl C-2'-deoxyribonucleoside as a pure beta-anomer in a total yield of 39% over four steps. This key intermediate was then subjected to a series of palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, aminations, and alkoxylations to give a series of protected 1beta-(6-alkyl-, 6-aryl-, 6-hetaryl, 6-amino-, and 6-tert-butoxypyridin-3-yl)-2'-deoxyribonucleosides. 6-Unsubstituted pyridin-3-yl C-nucleoside was prepared by catalytic hydrogenation of the chloro derivative and 6-oxopyridine C-nucleoside by treatment of the 6-tert-butoxy derivative with TFA. Deprotection of all the silylated nucleosides by Et3N.3HF gave a series of free C-nucleosides (10 examples).     

Crown Ethers Bearing 18C6 Unit; Sensory Molecules for Fabricating PVC Membrane Lead Ion‐selective Electrodes

Crown ethers bearing 18C6 unit 18‐crown‐6 (18C6), dicyclohexyl18‐crown‐6 (DC18C6) and dibenzo18‐crown‐6 (DB18C6) have been examined as ion sensing materials for fabricating lead ion‐selective potentiometric sensors. Best performance of the electrode based upon 18C6 ionophore was achieved by using a membrane including 9% ionophore, 30% polyvinyl chloride (PVC), 2% oleic acid and 59% dibutylphthalate (DBP). The optimum composition for the sensors based on DC18C6 and DB18C6 was provided by the compositions: 9% DC18C6, 30% PVC, 1.5% sodium tetraphenyl borate (NaTBP), 59.5% DBP; and 5.9% DB18C6, 29.7% PVC, 2.5% NaTBP and 61.9% DBP, respectively. The linear response range of the electrode based on 18C6 (1 × 10^‐6‐1 × 10^‐3 M) differs from that presented by the DC18C6‐ and DB18C6‐based electrodes (1 × 10^‐5‐1 × 10^‐2 M). All the sensors were shown rapid response time (<12 s). The detection limit of the electrodes varies as 5.6 × 10^‐7, 6.3 × 10^‐6 and 7.1 × 10^‐6 M, for 18C6‐, DC18C6‐ and DB18C6‐based electrodes, respectively. The selectivity of the electrodes towards lead ions over some mono‐, di‐ and trivalent metal ions was evaluated. The lifetime of the electrode based on DC18C6 or DB18C6 ionophores was found to be more than three months, while it was shorter for 18C6‐based electrode. The application of the electrodes in aqueous samples was assessed.     

Reactions of 6-hydrazino-, 6-hydroxylaminopurines and related derivatives

7H-Tetrazolo[5,1-i]purine was prepared by nitrosation of 6-hydrazinopurine and by reaction of 6-chloropurine with sodium azide; it was converted to adenine upon catalytic hydrogenation. 6-Hydroxylaminopurine was oxidized to 6-nitrosopurine with manganese dioxide, while alkaline treatment of the former gave 6,6′-azoxypurine. Nitrosation of 6-hydroxylaminopurine afforded 6-(N-nitroso)hydroxylaminopurine. Reaction of 6-chloropurine with 6-hydrazinopurine led to 6,6′-bisadenine; the corresponding ribosyl derivatives gave 6,6′-bisadenosine. Upon air oxidation, 6,6′-bisadenine was converted into 6,6′-azopurine. The related 6-thiosemicarbazino- and 6-(N-methyl)ureidopurine derivatives are also described. 6-N-(Nitroso)hydroxylaminopurine showed an inhibitory activity against several mouse tumors and leukemias.

Electrical properties of conductive polymer composites prepared by an innovational method

<正>An innovational method that poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride)(SMA),a compatibilizer of immiscible nylon6/polystyrene(PA6/PS) blends,was first reacted with carbon black(CB) and then blended with PA6/PS,has been employed to prepare the PA6/PS/(SMA-CB) composites of which CB localized at the interface.In PA6/PS/CB blends,CB was found to preferentially localize in the PA6 phase.However,in the PA6/PS/(SMA-CB) blends,it was found that CB particles can be induced by SMA to localize at the interface.The electrical porperties of PA6/PS/(SMA-CB) composites were investigated.The results showed that the composites exhibited distinct triple percolation behavior,i.e.the percolation is governed by the percolation of CB in SMA phase,the continuity of SMA-CB at the interface and the continuity of PA6/PS interface.The percolation threshold of PA6/PS/(SMA-CB) was only 0.15 wt%,which is much lower than that of PA6/PS/CB.Moreover,the PTC(positive temperature coefficient) intensity of PA6/PS/(SMA-CB) composites was stronger than that of PA6/PS/CB and the negative temperature coefficient(NTC) effect was eliminated.The electrical properties of PA6/PS/(SMA-CB) were explained in terms of its special interface morphology:SMA and CB localize at interphase to form the conductive pathways.

INTRAMOLECULAR EXCIMER FORMATION and MOLECULAR RECOGNITION OF MODIFIED CYCLODEXTRINS APPENDED BY TWO NAPHTHALENE RINGS*

The intramolecular excimer formation of 6A,6B-, 6A,6C-, 6A,6D-, and 6A,6E-bis(2-naphthyl-sulfonyl)-γ-cyclodextrins (1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively) and 6A.6B-, 6A,6C-, and 6A,6D-bis(2-naphthyl-sulfonyl)-β-cyclodextrins (5, 6, and 7, respectively) has been studied in 10% ethylene glycol aqueous solution. The two naphthyl rings are co-included in the γ-cyclodextrin cavities of1–4, and marked excimer emission was observed for 2, 3, and 4. On the other hand, almost pure monomer emission was observed for 5, 6, and 7 due to inclusion of one of two naphthyl rings in the β-cyclodextrin cavities. Compounds 2, 3, 6, and 7 showed remarkable guest-induced enhancement in the excimer emission, and this property was used for detecting several organic compounds with remarkable molecular recognition.
