Antimicrobial activities of the CH2Cl2-CH3OH (1:1) extracts and compounds from the roots and fruits of Pycnanthus angolensis (Myristicaceae)

This study was designed at evaluating the antimycobacterial, antibacterial and antifungal activities of the CH2Cl2-CH3OH (1:1) extracts and isolated compounds, namely 3,4-dimethoxy-3',4'-methylenedioxy-7,7'-epoxylignan (1), genkwainin (2), pycnanthulignene C (3), 4,5-dimethoxy-3',4'-methylenedioxy-2,7'-cycloligna-7,7'-diene (4), pycnanthulignene A (5) from the roots, and calycosin (6), biochanin A (7) and prunetin (8), from the fruits of Pycnanthus angolensis. The microplate alamar blue assay and the broth microdilution method were used to determine the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal microbicidal concentration of the samples. The H+-ATPase-mediated proton pumping assay was used to evaluate one of the possible mechanisms of action of the extracts and isolated compounds. The results of MIC determinations showed that the extract from roots was able to prevent the growth of all the studied organisms, including mycobacteria, fungi, and Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. All tested compounds showed antimicrobial activities to different extents, compound 1 and 8 exhibiting the best antimicrobial spectrum, with 92.3% of the tested organisms being sensitive. The results obtained in this study also showed that the extracts as well as most of the compounds were able to inhibit the H(+)-ATPase activity. The overall results provided evidence that P. angolensis and some of its components might be potential sources of antimicrobial drugs against tuberculosis, bacterial and fungal diseases.

FLUORESCENCE QUANTUM YIELD DETERMINATION OF PYRIMIDINE (6-4) PYRIMIDONE PHOTOADDUCTS

Abstract An extensive study of the fluorescence characteristics of pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone photoadducts, a major class of far-UV-induced DNA lesions, was carried out on dinucleoside monophosphate (6-4) photoadducts, including thymidylyl-(3'→ 5')-thymidine (TpT), 2'-deoxycytidylyl-(3'-5')-thymidine, thymidylyl-(3'→ 5')-2'-deoxy-cytidine, 2'-deoxyuridylyl-(3'→ 5')-thymidine, 5-methyl-2'-deoxycytidylyl-(3'-5')-thymidine (6-4) photoadducts and the corresponding base (6-4) photoadducts, 6-4'-(5'-methylpyrimidin-2'-one) thymine (TT), 5-hydroxy-6-4'-(5'-methylpyrimidin-2'-one)-5,6-dihydrothymine (CT), 5-amino-6-4'-(pyrimidin-2'-one)-5,6-dihydrothymine (UC) obtained by mild acidic hydrolysis of the former derivatives. The fluorescence quantum yield (Φ_F) of these compounds was found to depend on one hand, on the nature of the two bases involved and the base substituent and, on the other hand, on the presence of the phosphate group. The hydrolysis of the phosphodiester bond was shown to enhance Φ_F, the larger effect being observed in the case of the thymine-thymine photoadducts with a seven-fold increase of the Φ_F value in the case of TT as compared to TpT (0.21 and 0.03, respectively). These results are discussed in terms of structural considerations.     

A mild conversion of phenylpropropnoid into rare phenylbutanoids: (E)-4-(2,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)but-1,3-diene and (E)-4-(2,4,5-trimethozypheny)but-1-ene occuring in Zingiber cassumunar

(E)-4-(2',4',5'-trimethoxyphenyl)but-1,3-diene (4) and (E)-4-(2',4',5'-trimethoxyphenyl)but-1-ene (6), bioactive phenylbutanoids of Zingiber cassumunar, were synthesized exclusively with trans geometry. Treatment of methylmagnesium iodide with (E)-2',4',5'-trimethoxycinnamaldehyde (2), an oxidized product of abundantly available toxic (Z)-phenylpropanoid (1) of Acorus calamus, gave (E)-4-(2',4',5'-trimethoxyphenyl)but-3-en-2-ol (3) which upon dehydration with copper sulphate/silica gel under microwave irradiation for 3 min afforded 4 in 58% yield. Further, catalytic hydrogenation of 4 with 10% Pd/C afforded 4-(2',4',5'-trimethoxyphenyl)butane (5) which upon dehydrogenation with DDQ/SiO2 afforded hypolipidemic 6 in 54% yield.     

A novel nitroimidazole compound formed during the reaction of peroxynitrite with 2',3',5'-tri-O-acetyl-guanosine.

Peroxynitrite reacts with 2',3',5'-tri-O-acetyl-guanosine to yield a novel compound identified as 1-(2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)-5-guanidino-4-nitroimidazole (6). This characterization was achieved using a combination of UV/vis spectroscopy and ESI-MS. Additionally, 1-(beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)-5-guanidino-4-nitroimidazole (6a) was synthesized by an independent route, characterized by UV/vis spectroscopy, ESI-MS, and (1)H- and (13)C NMR, and shown to be identical to deacetylated 6. This product is extremely stable in aqueous solution at both pH extremes and is formed in significant yields. These characteristics suggest that this lesion may be useful as a specific biomarker of peroxynitrite-induced DNA damage. We also observed formation of 2',3',5'-tri-O-acetyl-8-nitroguanosine (2',3',5'-tri-O-acetyl-8-NO(2)()Guo), 2-amino-5-[(2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)amino]-4H-imidazol-4-one (2',3',5'-tri-O-acetyl-Iz), and the peroxynitrite-induced oxidation products of 2',3',5'-tri-O-acetyl-8-oxoGuo. The formation of 6 and 2',3',5'-tri-O-acetyl-8-NO(2)()Guo was rationalized by a mechanism invoking formation of the guanine radical.     

Synthesis of 4-thiouridine, 6-thioinosine, and 6-thioguanosine 3',5'-O-bisphosphates as donor molecules for RNA ligation and their application to the synthesis of photoactivatable TMG-capped U1 snRNA fragments

4-Thiouridine, 6-thioguanosine, and 6-thioinosine 3',5'-bisphosphates (9, 20, and 28) were synthesized in good yields by considerably improved methods. In the former two compounds, uridine and 2-N-phenylacetylguanosine were converted via transient O-trimethylsilylation to the corresponding 4- and 6-O-benzenesulfonyl intermediates (2 and 13), which, in turn, were allowed to react with 2-cyanoethanethiol in the presence of N-methylpyrrolidine to give 4-thiouridine (3) and 2-N-phenylacetyl-6-thioguanosine derivatives (14), respectively. In situ dimethoxytritylation of these thionucleoside derivatives gave the 5'-masked products 4 and 15 in high overall yields from 1 and 11. 6-S-(2-Cyanoethyl)-5'-O-(4,4'-dimethoxytrityl)-6-thioinosine (23) was synthesized via substitution of the 5'-O-tritylated 6-chloropurine riboside derivative 22 with 2-cyanoethanethiol. These S-(2-cyanoethyl)thionucleosides were converted to the 2'-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)ribonucleoside 3'-phosphoramidite derivatives 7, 18, and 26 or 3',5'-bisphosphate derivatives 8, 19, and 27. Treatment of 8, 19, and 27 with DBU gave thionucleoside 3',5'-bisphosphate derivatives 9, 20, and 28, which were found to be substrates of T4 RNA ligase. These thionucleoside 3',5'-bisphosphates were examined as donors for ligation with m3(2,2,7) G5'pppAmUmA, i.e., the 5'-terminal tetranucleotide fragment of U1 snRNA, The 4-thiouridine 3',5'-bisphosphate derivative 9 was found to serve as the most active substrate of T4 RNA ligase with a reaction efficiency of 96%.

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.
