Steroid compounds of marine sponges. VII. Preparation of derivatives of sokotrasterol and halistanol sulfates and structure-activity interrelationships among these compounds

Five new sulfated derivatives of sokotrasterol and halistanol have been obtained: 24-nor-5-cholane-2,3,6,23-tetraol 2,3,6-tri(sodium sulfate); 24-nor-5-cholane-2,3,6,23-tetraol 2,3,6-tri(sodium sulfate) 23-palmitate; 24,25-dimethyl-5-cholestane-2,3,6-triol 3-(sodium sulfate); 24,25-dimethyl-5-cholestane-2,3,6-triol 6-(sodium sulfate); and 24,25-dimethyl-5-cholestane-2,3,6-triol 2,6-di(sodium sulfate). The inhibiting and membranolytic properties of the polysulfated steroids from sponges and their derivatives have been studied. It has been shown that physiological activity in this series of compounds depends on biphilicity.Pacific Ocean Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Far Eastern Scientific Center, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Vladivostok.

Amino acid and peptide derivatives of the indole series

Summary 1. A method for obtaining amino acid and peptide derivatives of -methyltryptamine have been described.2. In respect of their biological activity, the closest to Indopan are glycyl--methyltryptamine and L--glutamyl--methyltryptamine, which, at the same time, possess a weaker action on the peripheral adrenoreactive system.3. When amino acid residues are introduced into the molecule of -methyltryptamine, not only does the degree of biological activity of the compound change but, in some cases, new biological properties actually appear.Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, Vol. 3, No. 2, pp. 108–116, 1967     

Reaction of α-α'-dichloro-substituted 1,5-diketones with ammonia and ammonium acetate

Under the influence of ammonia or ammonium acetate, -'-dichloro-substituted 1,5-diketones undergo heterocyclization to give -chloropyridines or 2-benzoylpyrrole derivatives. The structure of the final product depends on the reagent and the character of the substituent in the 3 position of the starting dichloro diketones.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 352–354, March, 1985.     

New method of synthesis of quindolines from 1,5-diketones of the indolinone series

By the action of ammonium acetate and ,-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, 1,5-diketones of the indolinone series undergo not yet known transformations into difficultly accessible 1,2-dihydro-10H-quinodolines. Under these conditions, 11-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-10H-quindoline was obtained from 1-acetyl-2-(benzyl-cyclohexan-1-on--yl)indolin-3-one. Dihydroquindolines with identical aryl substituents in the 1- and 11-positions were obtained from 1-acetylindolin-3-one by the action of an excess of certain ,-unsaturated ketones and ammonium acetate. Dehydrogenation of dihydroquindolines proceeds smoothly on heating with sulfur. The possible paths of the formation of dihydroquindolines are discussed.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1667–1673, December, 1984.     

Acyclic analogs of nucleosides. Synthesis of 1,5-dihydroxy-3-oxa-2-pentyl derivatives of nucleic bases

A convenient method for the synthesis of 1,5-dihydroxy-3-oxa-2-pentyl derivatives of nucleic bases, which consists in the condensation of trimethylsilyl derivatives of nucleic bases with 1,2,5-triacetoxy-3-oxapentane in the presence of SnCl₄, is proposed. Optically active derivatives — (R)- and (S)-1-(1,5-dihydroxy-3-oxa-2-pentyl)uracil, respectively — were obtained by periodate oxidation of -L- and -D-arabinopyranosyluracil.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 223–228, February, 1988.

The condensation of anthranilic acid and its derivatives (4-nitro-, 5-bromo-, 5-iodo-, and 5-nitroanthranilic acids) with ,-dichloro--caprolactam has given seven-membered analogs of deoxyvasicinone containing two chlorine atoms in the polymethylene ring.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.

Indole derivatives. I.β-(3-indolyl) ketones

A number of -skatyl--substituted acetoacetic esters (ethyl, tert. -butyl, and benzyl) are prepared by treating gramine with sodium derivatives of -substituted acetoacetic esters. When ethyl -alkyl--skatylacetoacetates are heated with dilute alkali, they are split into indole and a substituted acetoacetic ester, while saponification with concentrated alcoholic alkali gives -substituted-(3-indolyl)propionic acids. 3-Skatyl-heptan-2-one can be obtained by pyrolysis of 3-skatyl-3-carbo-tert. -butoxyheptan-2-one, or by hydrogenolysis of 3-skatyl-3-carbobenzoxyheptan-2-one over a palladium catalyst. Alkylation of cycloheptanone and cyclohexanone enamines by gramine gives cyclic-(3-indolyl)ketones, viz., 2-skatylcyclopentanone and 2-skatylcyclohexanone.

Spectroscopic investigation of cyclodextrin monomers,derivatives, polymers and azo dyes (1)

Circular dichroism (CD) and visible spectra of inclusion compounds between Methyl Orange (MO) analogues and -, -, -cyclodextrin (cdx), 2,6-dimethyl-and 2,3,6-trimethyl--cdx, water soluble -, -, -cdx polymer products were investigated. In the CD-spectroscopic investigation, the complex with -cdx epichlorohydrin condensate showed a large amplitude and splitting of the induced ^* band. Fractions of glyceryl ether of less than 2000 and polymer of more than 10000 dalton molecular mass were separated. Complexes of above two fractions and MO showed the same splitting spectral pattern. Job's plots from visible spectra showed the formation of the 11 complex and CD-data suggested the co-existence of the 21 MO-cdx complex. This splitting pattern showed the reversal of the signs when -cdx-ethyleneglycol-bis(epoxypropyl) ether was used and disappeared when larger host molecules and azo dyes were used. The splitting was explained by exciton interaction.     

Determination of the absolute configuration of carbohydrate components of flavonol glycosides of the chestnut

Conclusions On the basis of the rates of their acid hydrolysis, their optical activities, and their IR spectra, it has been established that the glycosides ofAesculus hippocastanum L. are (SK-1) 3--L-arabofuranosyloxy-5,7,4-trihydroxyflavone, (SK-2) 3--L-rhamnofuranosyloxy-5,7,4-trihydroxyflavone, (SK-3) 3--L-arabofuranosyloxy-5,7,3,4-tetrahydroxyflavone, and (SK-4) 3--L-rhamnofuranosyloxy-5,7,3,4-tetrahydroxyflavone.The glycoside SK-3 is identical with avicularin isolated from the leaves ofPsidium quajava [5]. The complete structures of the other three glycosides have been established for the first time.Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, Vol. 5, No. 1, pp. 5–7, 1969     

Enthalpy of solution of carbohydrates using a modified differential scanning calorimeter

A differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) was modified for the determination of enthalpies of solution. The measurements were performed on aqueous solutions of the deoxy- and fluoro-deoxy derivatives of D-glucopyranose (Glu) where the OH group on the C1, C2, C3, and C6 is replaced by H (1HGlu, 2HGlu, 3HGlu, and 6HGlu) and by F (1FGlu, 2FGlu, 3FGlu, and 6FGlu), 4-deoxy 4-fluoro--D-glucopyranoside (4FGlu), 1-methoxy--D-glucopyranoside (MeOGlu), 1-phenoxy--D-glucopyranoside (PheOGlu), D-mannopyranose (Man), and 3-methoxy--D-glucopyranoside (3MeOGlu), at 15.1, 25.0, 35.0, and 45.1°C. The enthalpies of solution _sH⁰(T) ranged from 1.00±0.25 kJ-mol^–1 for 6HGlu at 15.1°C to 20.4±1.4 for PhOGlu at 45.1°C and were in good agreement with literature values for Man, Glu, MeOGlu, and 3MeOGlu at 25.0 and 35.0°C and for MeOMan and 2HGlu at 35.0°C. _sH⁰(T) for the derivatives were then extrapolated up to the melting temperature T_m and compared with their enthalpies of fusion, _fH also determined from DSC measurements. If the agreement between _sH⁰(T_m) and _fH was within the 95% confidence level, then it was concluded that intermolecular interactions between the carbohydrate molecules in the liquid phase were the same as between the carbohydrate and water molecules in the solution phase. This agreement was observed for aqueous solutions of Man, Glu, MeOGlu, 3HGlu, 3FGlu, and 6FGlu.
