The results of quantum-chemical calculations of the molecular structures of d-metal chelate complexes with compartmental and macrocyclic ligands arising as a result of “self-assembly” processes (template synthesis) to form so-called open and closed contours around the complexing agent have been systematized and generalized. In general, for compounds of both the first and second groups, molecular structures with noncoplanar chelate cores and macrocyclic moieties are more characteristic than coplanar ones.

Electrophilic heterocyclization of 6-alken(yn)ylsulfanyl-pyrazolo[3,4-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>]pyrimidin-4(5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

6-Allylsulfanyl-1-arylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones react with iodine and sulfuric acid to give angular pyrazolothiazolopyrimidine derivatives. The reaction of 6-(prop-2-yn-1-ylsulfanyl)-1-(4-tolyl)-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one with sulfuric acid gives angularly fused pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one, whereas in the reaction with sodium methoxide linearly fused pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,3]-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one was formed. Linearly fused pyrazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazole derivatives were also obtained by reaction of 1-aryl-6-(3-phenylprop-2-en-1-ylsulfanyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones with sulfuric acid.

The structure of peri-hydroxy- and peri-methoxy-substituted aldehydes and ketones of the naphthalene, acenaphthene, and acenaphthylene series and the nature of intramolecular interactions between the peri- substituents therein were determined by spectral (IR, UV, 1H NMR), X-ray diffraction, and quantum-chemical methods.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">Ab initio</Emphasis> quantum-chemical calculations of the energies and structures of 1,2-acetylenedithiol isomers

Ab initio quantum-chemical calculations of 1,2-acetylenedithiol isomers were carried out. The MP2(full), DFT(B3PW91, MPW1PW91), G3, G3B3, and CBS-Q methods were used. According to the calculations, the most stable isomers were 1,2-dithiet, thiiranethione, and trans-1,2-dithioglyoxal. The necessity of including basis set functions with a large angular momentum in calculations was confirmed. The relatively high stability of 1,2-dithiet was attributed to the aromaticity of its four-membered ring. It was noted that the carbon-carbon bond in the three-membered rings of the cis- and trans-isomers of thiirenethiols was unusually short.     

7,8,9-trimethyl-1-phenyl-3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrolo[2,1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>][1,2,5]triazepin-4(5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-one. Synthesis and reactions

A strategy was developed for the synthesis of 7,8,9-trimethyl-1-phenyl-3H-pyrrolo[2,1-d][1,2,5]-triazepin-4(5H)-one, reactions of its functionalization at the С⁴ atom and aza rings fusion at the С⁴?N³ bond were explored. The formation mechanism of the pyrrolo-1,2,5-triazepinone scaffold was suggested.     

Cobalt(II) and nickel(II) cloride complexes with 4,5-(<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-pyridylethylene)-dithio-1,3-dithiol-2-thiones (<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis> = 2, 4)

The NiCl₂ and CoCl₂ complexes with 4,5-(2-pyridylethylene)-dithio-1,3-dithiol-2-thione (L¹) and 4,5-(4-pyridylethylene)-dithio-1,3-dithiol-2-thione (L²) were described. The L¹ ligand shows bidentate coordination through the pyridyl N atoms and the thiol S atoms in a tetrahedral [CoCl₂(L¹)] complex (I) and in an octahedral [NiCl₂(L¹)₂](MeCN)₂ complex (II). The L² ligand exhibits monodentate coordination through the pyridyl N atom in tetrahedral complexes [CoCl₂(L²)₂ (III) and [NiCl₂(L²)₂] (IV). Complexes I, III, IV in crystal state are octahedral due to extra coordination of the thione S atoms or the chloride bridges responsible for the polymeric structure. The structure of the complex II · CH₂Cl₂ was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, a = 11.895(2) Å, b = 13.374(3) Å, c = 21.873(4) Å, β = 95.30(3)°, Z = 2. The Ni atom has quasi-tetrahedral surrounding due to two chloride ions and two L¹ ligands coordinated through the pyridyl N atoms and the thiol S atoms.

Bioconversion of <Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">d</Emphasis>-glucose into <Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">d</Emphasis>-glucosone by Glucose 2-oxidase from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Coriolus versicolor</Emphasis> at Moderate Pressures

Glucose 2-oxidase (pyranose oxidase, pyranose:oxygen-2-oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.3.10) from Coriolus versicolor catalyses the oxidation of d-glucose at carbon 2 in the presence of molecular O₂ producing d-glucosone (2-keto-glucose and d-arabino-2-hexosulose) and H₂O₂. It was used to convert d-glucose into d-glucosone at moderate pressures (i.e. up to 150 bar) with compressed air in a modified commercial batch reactor. Several parameters affecting biocatalysis at moderate pressures were investigated as follows: pressure, [enzyme], [glucose], pH, temperature, nature of fluid and the presence of catalase. Glucose 2-oxidase was purified by immobilized metal affinity chromatography on epoxy-activated Sepharose 6B-IDA-Cu(II) column at pH 6.0. The rate of bioconversion of d-glucose increased with the pressure since an increase in the pressure with compressed air resulted in higher rates of conversion. On the other hand, the presence of catalase increased the rate of reaction which strongly suggests that H₂O₂ acted as inhibitor for this reaction. The rate of bioconversion of d-glucose by glucose 2-oxidase in the presence of either nitrogen or supercritical CO₂ at 110 bar was very low compared with the use of compressed air at the same pressure. The optimum temperature (55°C) and pH (5.0) of d-glucose bioconversion as well as kinetic parameters for this enzyme were determined under moderate pressure. The activation energy (E _a) was 32.08 kJ mol⁻¹ and kinetic parameters (V _max, K _m, K _cat and K _cat/K _m) for this bioconversion were 8.8 U mg⁻¹ protein, 2.95 mM, 30.81 s⁻¹ and 10,444.06 s⁻¹ M⁻¹, respectively. The biomass of C. versicolor as well as the cell-free extract containing glucose 2-oxidase activity were also useful for bioconversion of d-glucose at moderate pressures. The enzyme was apparently stable at moderate pressures since such pressures did not affect significantly the enzyme activity.     

Development of transition state analogue inhibitors for <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-acetylglycosyltransferases bearing <Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">d</Emphasis>psico- or <Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">d</Emphasis>tagatofuranose scaffolds

New potential transition state analogue inhibitors for N-acetylglucosyltransferases (GnTs) were synthesised.

The synthesised compounds as well as their precursors were fully characterised by NMR, optical rotation and mass techniques. Anomeric configuration of tagatofuranose derivatives was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Two types of potential human glycosyltransferase (GnTs) inhibitors representing donor UDP-GlcNAc, assigned for biological assays on human GnTs, were prepared.
