An efficient synthetic approach to 6,5'-(S)- and 6,5'-(R)-cyclouridine

Here we present new routes for the efficient syntheses of 6,5'-(S)- and 6,5'-(R)-cyclouridine. The syntheses utilize readily accessible uridine as a starting material. This route to the R diastereomer is significantly more efficient than previous synthetic efforts, allowing us to obtain large amounts of pure material for future biological testing.     

Novel PVC-based copper(II) membrane sensor based on 2-(1'-(4'-(1'-hydroxy-2'-naphthyl)methyleneamino)butyl iminomethyl)-1-naphthol.

A copper(II) ion-selective PVC membrane sensor based on 2-(1'-(4'-(1'-hydroxy-2'-naphthyl)methyleneamino)butyl iminomethyl)-1-naphthol (BHNB) as a novel Schiff base containing a sensing material has been successfully developed. The sensor exhibits a good linear response of 29 mV per decade within the concentration range of 10(-1)-10(-6) M of Cu2+. The sensor shows good selectivity for copper(II) ion in comparison with alkali, alkaline earth, transition and heavy metal ions. The BHNB-based sensor is suitable for use with aqueous solutions of pH 3.5-7.0 and displays minimal interference by Sr(II), Cd(II), Hg(II), Zn(II) and Pb(II), which are known to interfere with other previously suggested electrodes. The proposed membrane electrode was used as a sensor for determining the Cu(II) content in black tea samples. It was also applied as an indicator electrode in the potentiometric titration of Cu2+ ions with EDTA.

Trinuclear copper(II) complex showing high selectivity for the hydrolysis of 2'-5' over 3'-5' for UpU and 3'-5' over 2'-5' for ApA ribonucleotides

The cooperative action of multiple Cu(II) nuclear centers is shown to be effective and selective in the hydrolysis of 2'-5' and 3'-5' ribonucleotides. Reported herein is the specific catalysis by two trinuclear Cu(II) complexes of L3A and L3B. Pseudo first-order kinetic studies reveal that the L3A trinuclear Cu(II) complex effects hydrolysis of Up(2'-5')U with a rate constant of 28 x 10(-)(4) min(-)(1) and Up(3'-5')U with a rate constant of 0.5 x 10(-)(4) min(-)(1). The hydrolyses of Ap(3'-5')A and Ap(2'-5')A proceed with rate constants of 24 x 10(-)(4) min(-)(1) and 0.5 x 10(-)(4) min(-)(1) respectively. The L3A trinuclear Cu(II) complex demonstrates high specificity for Up(2'-5')U and Ap(3'-5')A. Similar studies with the more rigid L3B trinuclear Cu(II) complex shows no selectivity and yields lower rate constants for hydrolysis. The selectivity observed with the L3A ligand is attributed to the geometry of the ligand-bound diribonucleotide which ultimately dictates the proximity of the attacking hydroxyl and the phosphoester to a Cu(II) center for activation and subsequent hydrolysis.     

Synthesis and antiarrhythmic activity of 2,2-dialkyl-1'-(N-substituted aminoalkyl)-spiro-(chroman-4,4'-imidazolidine)-2',5'-diones.

A novel series of 2,2-dialkyl-1'-(N-substituted aminoalkyl)-spiro-[chroman-4,4' -imidazolidine]-2',5'-diones was synthesized and evaluated for antiarrhythmic activity in chloroform- or/and aconitine-induced ventricular arrhythmia in mice. Among these compounds, (-)-6-chloro-2,2-dimethyl-1'-[3-(4-hydroxypiperidino)propyl] -spiro-[chroman-4,4'-imidazolidine]-2',5' -dione was found to be more effective than reference agents and was selected for further development.     

Ferroelectric liquid crystalline phase transition of (S)-hexakis(4-(4'-(6-methyl)octyloxy)biphenoxy) cyclotriphosphazene

(S)-Hexakis(4-(4'-(6-methyl)octyloxy)biphenoxy)cyclotriphosphazene (SMOCP) was synthesized in a search for new ferroelectric liquid crystalline compounds. We found an enantiotropic ferroelectric smectic C* phase between 419 and 441 K in SMOCP by using polarizing microscopy and DSC measurements. The spontaneous polarization was estimated to be -130.5 μCm^-2 at 437.6 K, several times larger than that of DOBAMBC ((S)-2-methylbutyl 4-(4'-decyloxybenzylidene)aminocinnamate.     

Synthesis and biological properties of gemini quaternary ammonium compounds, 5,5'-[2,2'-(alpha,omega-polymethylnedicarbonyldioxy)diethyl]bis-(3-alkyl-4-methylthiazolium iodide) and 5,5'-[2,2'-(p-phenylenedicarbonyldioxy)diethyl]bis(3-alkyl-4-methylthiazolium bromide)

We synthesized gemini quaternary ammonium compounds (gemini QACs) having two thiazolium moieties in a molecule, 5,5'-[2,2'-(alpha,omega-polymethylnedicarbonyldioxy)diethyl]bis(3-alkyl-4-methylthiazolium iodide) (5DEBT-m,n), on which the carbon number of the methylene chain linking the two thiazoles (m) is 2, 6 or 8 and that of the alkyl group (n) is 8, 10, 12, 14 or 16. 5,5'-[2,2'-(p-Phenylenedicarbonyldioxy)diethyl]bis(3-alkyl-4-methylthiazolium bromide) (5DEBT-P,n) was then synthesized, which is composed of a p-phenylene as the methylene spacer. For five gemini QAC series, in addition to the previously described 5DEBT-4,n to the four new compound series, their antimicrobial activities were determined. 5DEBT-m,10 and -P,10 exhibited a wide and strong bacteriostatic activity against gram-negative and -positive bacteria, fungi and then yeast in comparison with N-tetradecyl-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methylthiazolium iodide as a mono-QAC. The bactericidal activity of the 5DEBT series against Escherichia coli IFO 12713 and Staphylococcus aureus IFO 12732 was investigated on the basis of the effects of their alkyl chain length and their molecular hydrophobicity. It was found that the effect of theses factors on their activity significantly changes by the difference between the gram-negative and -positive bacteria. Although against the gram-negative bacterium, the change in the activity due to extension of the alkyl group for each compound affected the kind of methylene spacer, against the gram-positive bacterium, it was almost equal in spite of the methylene spacer. This result could be responsible for the bactericidal mechanism of the gemini QACs being influenced by the diversity of the steric structure participating in the methylene chain length and by the bacterium cell surface hydrophobicity.

The photochemistry of thymidylyl-(3'-5')-5-methyl-2'-deoxycytidine in aqueous solution

The photochemistry of the dinucleoside monophosphate thymidylyl-(3'-5')-5-methyl-2'-deoxycytidine (Tpm5dC) has been studied in aqueous solution using both 254 nm and UV-B radiation. A variety of dinucleotide photoproducts containing 5-methylcytosine (m5C) have been isolated and characterized. These include two cyclobutane dimers (CBD) (the cis-syn [c,s]and trans-syn forms), a (6-4) adduct and its related Dewar isomer, and two isomers of a product in which the m5C moiety was converted into an acrylamidine. Small amounts of thymidylyl-(3'-5')-thymidine (TpT) were also formed, presumably as a secondary photoreaction product. In addition, a photoproduct was characterized in which the m5C moiety was lost, thus generating 3'-thymidylic acid esterified with 2'-deoxyribose at the 5-hydroxyl on the sugar moiety. The c,s CBD of Tpm5dC readily undergoes deamination to form the corresponding CBD of TpT. The kinetics of this deamination process has been studied; the corresponding enthalpy and entropy of activation for the reaction have been evaluated at pH 7.4 as being, respectively, 73.4 kJ/mol and -103.5 J/K mol. Deamination was not observed for the other characterized photoproducts of Tpm5dC.     

Solvent- and temperature-controlled in situ ligand reactions mediated by Cu(II) and 3'-[(E)-{[(1S,2S)-2-aminocyclohexyl]imino}methyl]-4'-hydroxy-4-biphenylcarboxlic acid

Three new compounds, CuL, CuL', and Cu(2)O(2)L'(2) (H(2)L = 3'-[(E)-{[(1S,2S)-2-aminocyclohexyl]imino}methyl]-4'-hydroxy-4-biphenylcarboxlic acid, H(2)L' = 3'-[(E)-{[(1S,2S)-2-aminocyclohexyl]imino}methyl]-4'-hydroxy-5'-nitro-4-biphenylcarboxlic acid, H(2)L' = 3'-(N,N-dimethylamino methyl)-4'-hydroxy-4-biphenylcarboxlic acid), were selectively synthesized through a controlled in situ ligand reaction system mediated by copper(II) nitrate and H(2)L. Selective nitration was achieved by using different solvent mixtures under relatively mild conditions, and an interesting and economical reductive amination system in DMF/EtOH/H(2) O was also found. All crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Both CuL and CuL' display chiral 1D chain structures, whereas Cu(2)O(2)L'(2) possesses a structure with 13×16?? channels and a free volume of 41.4?%. The possible mechanisms involved in this in situ ligand-controlled reaction system are discussed in detail.

旋光性聚{(+)-甲基丙烯酸-2,5-二[4′-((S)-2-甲基丁氧基)苯基]苄酯}的合成与表征

设计、合成了一个带有横挂三联苯侧基的手性乙烯基单体——(+)-甲基丙烯酸-2,5-二[4′-((S)-2-甲基丁氧基)苯基]苄酯,进行了普通自由基和原子转移自由基聚合反应.所得聚合物具有比单体低30°左右的比旋光度,且在侧基的紫外吸收处呈现明显不同于单体的Cotton效应,说明其主链可能形成了具有相反旋光方向的螺旋构象.在所研究范围内,聚合条件对聚合物的旋光度没有明显的影响.在分子量较小时,聚合物的比旋光度随着分子量的增加而降低,说明主链螺旋构象的贡献在增大,而当分子量达到一定值后,聚合物的比旋光度不再随分子量的增加而显著变化.     

Sensitive determination of anionic surfactants in water with trans-4-[4'-(N-methyl-N-hydroxylethylamino)-cinnamyl-N-9-(4'-(2,2':6',2''-terpyridine))-phenylmethylene]pyridine bromide by the light-absorption ratio variation approach

The light-absorption ratio variation approach was described and applied to the determination of anionic surfactants (AS) in water with a novel chromophore, trans 4-[4'-(N-methyl-N-hydroxylethylamino)-cinnamyl-N-9-(4'-(2,2':6',2'-terpyridine))-phenylmethylene]pyridine bromide (BTMHCTPP). The complexations between BTMHCTPP and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) at pH 3.85 were characterized by the break point approach. Results have shown that both 1BTMHCTPP:1SDS and 1BTMHCTPP:1SDBS complexes were formed, and that deltaA(r) (deltaA(r) = light-absorption ratio variation) is linear for the range of AS between 0.05 and 1.00 mg/L. The limits of detection (3sigma) are 0.045 mg/L for SDS and 0.040 mg/L for SDBS. The complexation is selective in the presence of EDTA, and it has been applied to the analysis of water samples with satisfactory results.     

New thiopyran-4-spiro-2′-(1,3-dithiolane):Formation mechanism and crystal structure

Ethylene trithiocarbonate reacted with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to furnish tetramethyl thiopyran-4-spiro-2'-(1,3- dithiolane)-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylate,a new thiopyran-4-spiro-2'-(1,3-dithiolane) heterocyclic compound,as the minor product together with the major product dimethyl 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dicarboxylate.The new heterocycle was probably formed through a[2 + 2]cycloaddition between ethylene trithiocarbonate and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate followed by a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition or[...     

Syntheses, structural characterization and properties of transition metal complexes of 5,5'-(1,4-phenylene)bis(1H-tetrazole) (H(2)bdt), 5',5'-(1,1'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diylbis(1H-tetrazole) (H(2)dbdt) and 5,5',5'-(1,3,5-phenylene)tris(1H-tetrazole) (H(3)btt)

The hydrothermal chemistry of a variety of M(II)SO(4) salts with the tetrazole (Ht) ligands 5,5'-(1,4-phenylene)bis(1H-tetrazole) (H(2)bdt), 5',5'-(1,1'-biphenyl)4,4'-diylbis(1H-tetrazole) (H(2)dbdt) and 5,5',5'-(1,3,5-phenylene)tris(1H-tetrazole) (H(3)btt) was investigated. In the case of Co(II), three phases were isolated, two of which incorporated sulfate: [Co(5)F(2)(dbdt)(4)(H(2)O)(6)]·2H(2)O (1·2H(2)O), [Co(4)(OH)(2)(SO(4))(bdt)(2)(H(2)O)(4)] (2) and [Co(3)(OH)(SO(4))(btt)(H(2)O)(4)]·3H(2)O (3·3H(2)O). The structures are three-dimensional and consist of cluster-based secondary building units: the pentanuclear {Co(5)F(2)(tetrazolate)(8)(H(2)O)(6)}, the tetranuclear {Co(4)(OH)(2)(SO(4))(2)(tetrazolate)(6)}(4-), and the trinuclear {Co(3)(μ(3)-OH)(SO(4))(2) (tetrazolate)(3)}(2-) for 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The Ni(II) analogue [Ni(2)(H(0.67)bdt)(3)]·10.5H(2)O (4·10.5H(2)O) is isomorphous with a fourth cobalt phase, the previously reported [Co(2)(H(0.67)bat)(3)]·20H(2)O and exhibits a {M(tetrazolate)(3/2)}(∞) chain as the fundamental building block. The dense three-dimensional structure of [Zn(bdt)] (5) consists of {ZnN(4)}tetrahedra linked through bdt ligands bonding through N1,N3 donors at either tetrazolate terminus. In contrast to the hydrothermal synthesis of 1-5, the Cd(II) material (Me(2)NH(2))(3)[Cd(12)Cl(3)(btt)(8)(DMF)(12)]·xDMF·yMeOH (DMF = dimethylformamide; x = ca. 12, y = ca. 5) was prepared in DMF/methanol. The structure is constructed from the linking of {Cd(4)Cl(tetrazolate)(8)(DMF)(4)}(1-) secondary building units to produce an open-framework material exhibiting 66.5% void volume. The magnetic properties of the Co(II) series are reflective of the structural building units.     

Asymmetric Synthesis and DNA Intercalation of (-)-6-[[(Aminoalkyl)oxy]methyl]-4-demethoxy-6,7- dideoxydaunomycinones(1)(,)

The BF(3).Et(2)O-promoted Diels-Alder addition of 1-acetylvinyl RADO(Et)-ate (RADO(Et)-ate = 3-ethyl-2-oxo-6,8-dioxa-3-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-7-exo-carboxylate) to 1-(dimethoxymethyl)-2,3,5,6-tetramethylidene-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane led to one major monoadduct that added to 1,2-didehydrobenzene and was converted into (-)-4-demethoxy-7-deoxydaunomycinone and (2R)-12-acetoxy-2-acetyl-5-(bromomethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthacen-2-yl RADO(Et)-ate. The latter compound was used to construct (8R)-8-acetyl-6,8-dihydroxy-11-[[(3'-[(aminopropyl)oxy]-, -4'-[(aminobutyl)oxy], and -5'-[(aminopentyl)oxy]methyl]-7,8,9,10-tetrahydronaphthacene-5,12-dione hydrochloride (-)-8, (-)-9, (-)-10, respectively, as well as (8R)-8-acetyl-6,8-dihydroxy-11- [[[2'-[(3"-aminopropyl)amino]ethyl]oxy]- ((-)-11) and -[[3'-[(3"-aminopropyl)amino]propyl]oxy]methyl]-7,8,9, 10-tetrahydronaphthacene-5,12-dione hydrochloride ((-)-12). (8R)-8-Acetyl-6,8-dihydroxy-11-[[(alpha-L-daunosaminyl)oxy]methyl]-7,8,9,10-tetrahydronaphthacene-5,12-dione hydrochloride ((-)-13), a mimic of idarubicin, was also prepared. Absorbance and fluorescence titration experiments showed (-)-8, (-)-9, and (-)-10 to intercalate calf thymus DNA whereas (-)-11, (-)-12, and (-)-13 did not. The best intercalator was (-)-9 (K(b) = (1.1 +/- 0.1) x 10(5) M(-)(1)) with the [(4'-aminobutyl)oxy]methyl chain. Inhibition of topoisomerase II-induced DNA strand religation was observed for (-)-8 at a concentration of 50 &mgr;M.     

Sugar conformational effects on the photochemistry of thymidylyl(3'-5')thymidine

The synthesis and conformational analysis of 2'-O,5-dimethyluridylyl(3'-5')-2'-O,5-dimethyluridine (1a), the analogue of thymidylyl(3'-5')thymidine (TpT; 1b) in which a methoxy group replaces each 2'-alpha-hydrogen atom, are described. In comparison with TpT, such modification increases the population of the C3'-endo conformer of the sugar ring puckering at the 5'- and 3'-ends from 30 to 75% and from 37 to 66%, respectively. Photolyses of 1a and TpT at 254 nm are qualitatively comparable (the cis-syn cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer and the (6-4) photoproduct are formed), although it is significantly faster in the case of 1a. These results are explained by the increased propensity of the modified dinucleotide to adopt a base-stacked conformation geometry reminiscent of that for TpT.
