Mass and NMR spectra of haplophyllidine and perforine and of their derivatives

Conclusions The mass and NMR spectra of haplophyllidine, perforine, and their derivatives have been studied. The influence of the open and cyclic forms of the molecular ion on the nature of the fragmentation has been discussed. The main routes of fragmentation of the compounds considered are due to the presence of substituents at C₈ and C₄.Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, Vol. 5, No. 4, pp. 273–279, 1969     

Synthesis and characterization of norverapamil and quantification of verapamil and nor-verapamil in plasma

Verapamil is a calcium channel blocking agent which has found widespread use in the management of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias, angina pectoris, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and hypertension. It is converted to its biologically active metabolite nor-verapamil in liver by cytochrome P450. In present communication, synthesis and characterization of nor-verapamil and development of reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic method for the quantification of nor-verapamil along with verapamil in plasma has been carried out. The characterization of nor-verapamil was carried out using GC-MS, FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy. The separation was carried out with an isocratic JASCO RP-HPLC system using 5 μm KYA TECH HiQ Sil C₁₈ HS column (250 mm × 4.6 mm internal diameter) as a stationary phase and methanol: water: 0.01 M orthophosphoric acid: triethylamine [70: 30: 2: 0.5, v/v/v/v] as mobile phase. The flow rate was maintained at 1.0 mL/min and UV detection at 222 nm. The calibration for verapamil and nor-verapamil were found to be linear over concentration range of 50–300 ng/mL with correlation coefficient (n = 6) of 0.9995 and 0.9997, respectively. This method was validated according to USFDA guidelines. The method was found to be simple, accuare, precise sensitive and selective for the determination of verapamil and nor-verapamil in plasma and thus useful in bioequivalence studies of verapamil.

Kinetics and mechanisms of chlorine dioxide and chlorite oxidations of cysteine and glutathione

Chlorine dioxide oxidation of cysteine (CSH) is investigated under pseudo-first-order conditions (with excess CSH) in buffered aqueous solutions, p[H+] 2.7-9.5 at 25.0 degrees C. The rates of chlorine dioxide decay are first order in both ClO2 and CSH concentrations and increase rapidly as the pH increases. The proposed mechanism is an electron transfer from CS- to ClO2 (1.03 x 10(8) M(-1) s(-1)) with a subsequent rapid reaction of the CS* radical and a second ClO2 to form a cysteinyl-ClO2 adduct (CSOClO). This highly reactive adduct decays via two pathways. In acidic solutions, it hydrolyzes to give CSO(2)H (sulfinic acid) and HOCl, which in turn rapidly react to form CSO3H (cysteic acid) and Cl-. As the pH increases, the (CSOClO) adduct reacts with CS- by a second pathway to form cystine (CSSC) and chlorite ion (ClO2-). The reaction stoichiometry changes from 6 ClO2:5 CSH at low pH to 2 ClO2:10 CSH at high pH. The ClO2 oxidation of glutathione anion (GS-) is also rapid with a second-order rate constant of 1.40 x 10(8) M(-1) s(-1). The reaction of ClO2 with CSSC is 7 orders of magnitude slower than the corresponding reaction with cysteinyl anion (CS-) at pH 6.7. Chlorite ion reacts with CSH; however, at p[H+] 6.7, the observed rate of this reaction is slower than the ClO2/CSH reaction by 6 orders of magnitude. Chlorite ion oxidizes CSH while being reduced to HOCl, which in turn reacts rapidly with CSH to form Cl-. The reaction products are CSSC and CSO3H with a pH-dependent distribution similar to the ClO2/CSH system.     

Synthesis and properties of alternating copolymers of acrylics and olefins

The free radical copolymerization and terpolymerization of acrylic monomers with olefins in the presence of Lewis acid complexing agent for the acrylic monomer has been investigated. The course of the polyreaction is in agreement with the features of a radical chain growth reaction, and the polymer properties can be varied by changing the composition of the reaction mixture and the reaction conditions. The alternating copolymers are usually amorphous materials, and only the alternating ethylene/acrylonitrile copolymer can be obtained as a material of relatively high crystallinity. The degree of crystallinity can be varied through terpolymerization of complexed acrylonitrile with ethylene/propylene comonomers. The basic features of the polyreaction and the polymer structures as well as some of the physical and material properties of the copolymers have been studied.     

Synthesis and structure of hydroxyisoxazolidines and derivatives of hydroxylamine and alkenals

The reactions of N-substituted hydroxylamines with alkenals serve as a method for the synthesis of the corresponding 2-substituted 3(5)-hydroxyisoxazolidines. The reaction pathway is determined by the nature of the substituent attached to the nitrogen atom. Ring-chain isomerism has been detected in these newly obtained compoundsTranslated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1270–1276, September, 1987.     

Preparation and characterization of thin films of monomeric and polymeric octacyanophthalocyanines

Thin films were prepared on substrates, cleavage surface of KCl single crystal, and metallic copper, by reaction of 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene with the substrate at various temperatures. The films were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and UV/VIS spectroscopies. The films were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The films produced on copper at temperatures between 300 and 400°C consisted of copper octacyanophthalocyanine and its polymer with ladder structure. The ratio of polymer to monomer increased with elevating the reaction temperature. The films were composed of ribbon-like crystals. The film produced on copper above 450°C was composed of an amorphous and continuous layer of polymeric copper phthalocyanine. The film produced on KCl at temperatures between 250 and 350°C consisted of potassium octacyanophthalocyanine and its polymer with ladder structure. The film produced on KCl above 450°C was polymeric potassium phthalocyanine. Those films contained more metal content than that required stoichiometrical.     

Preparation and properties of lanthanum tungstate and studies of its ion-exchange and electrochemical behaviour

A new inorganic ion-exchanger lanthanum tungstate has been prepared by mixing lanthanum nitrate and sodium tungstate. The refluxed product has been found to be most suitable; therefore, most of the electrochemical and ion-exchange studies were performed on this product. The material is a weak cation exchanger with a capacity of 0.80 mmol per gram. Electrochemical studies are performed by preparing a pellet of this exchanger in polystyrene; charge density and membrane potential have been calculated. The results are discussed.     

Electron beam modification and crosslinking: Influence of nitrile and carboxyl contents and level of unsaturation on structure and properties of nitrile rubber

The structural changes of nitrile rubber with varying nitrile contents, hydrogenated nitrile rubber and carboxylated nitrile rubber in the presence and absence of a polyfunctional monomer, namely trimethylolpropane triacrylate, at different doses of electron beam irradiation, were investigated with the help of FTIR spectroscopy (in the attenuated total reflectance mode), dynamic mechanical thermal analysis and sol–gel analysis. Solid-state NMR with gated high power decoupling technique was used to understand the mechanism of crosslinking of the irradiated samples. The allylic radicals generated in the butadiene chains react to form intermolecular crosslinkages. There was a significant decrease in the concentration of olefinic groups for the nitrile rubber on irradiation. This was also affirmed by the increase in the carbon resonances due to C–C linkages from the NMR technique, indicating more crosslinkages. The spectroscopic crosslink densities were determined and the results were compared with the swelling measurements. The variation in the crosslink clustering for rubbers with different acrylonitrile contents was explained using the NMR technique. The increase in crosslinking was also revealed by the increase in the percent gel content and dynamic storage moduli with radiation doses. The lifetime of spurs formed and the critical dose, an important criterion for overlapping of spurs, were determined for both the grafted and the ungrafted nitrile rubbers of different grades and compared using a mathematical model. The ratio of scissioning to crosslinking for nitrile rubber was determined using Charlesby–Pinner equation. The mechanical properties had also been studied for both the modified and the unmodified systems.     

Electron-density distribution and reactivities of ethynylimidazoles and -pyrazoles

The electron shells of imidazole, pyrazole, and their ethynyl derivatives were calculated by the CNDO/2 method (complete neglect of differential overlap). The dipole moments, ionization potentials, and energies of heterolytic cleavage of the CH bonds of the ethynyl groups were calculated. The results are compared with the experimental data on the reactivities and acidities. The ethynyl substituent is a weak electron acceptor. The donor capacity of the ring correlates with the charges on the corresponding carbon atoms. The 4 and 5 positions of imidazole constitute an exception to this. The energy of heterolytic cleavage of the CH bond decreases as the electronic charge on the ethynyl group increases.     

Synthesis and Microbiological Stability of Graft Copolymers of N-Vinylpyrrolidone and Chitosan

The kinetics of homogeneous graft polymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone on chitosan, initiated by ammonium peroxodisulfate, was studied in relation to the reactant concentrations. The reaction orders with respect to the monomer, initiator, and matrix polymer were determined. The compositional nonuniformity and microbiological stability of the copolymer were evaluated.     

Synthesis and characterization of copolyesters of PET and substituted p-hydroxybenzoic acids

Random copolyesters of different compositions were synthesized by melt polycondensation of poly(ethylene terephthalate) and 3-bromo - and 3,5-dibromo-p-hydroxybenzoic acids. The copolymer compositions were determined by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The thermal behavior of these copolyesters was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. The glass transition temperature, crystallization temperature, and decomposition temperature were found to increase with increase in the paraoxybenzoate content of the copolyesters. The limiting viscosity number and the weight-average molecular weight were determined.     

Direct and sensitized photoprocesses of bis-benzimidazole dyes and the effects of surfactants and DNA

The photoprocesses of two bis-benzimidazole dyes, Hoechst 33258 (1) and an analog, where the phenolic group in p-position is replaced by an ethoxy group, Hoechst 33342 (2), were studied. For 1 and 2 in aqueous solution the quantum yield of fluorescence is strongly pH dependent; it decreases from a maximum value of phi f = 0.4 at pH 5 to phi f = 0.02 at pH 8. The effects of absorption and fluorescence, induced by sodium dodecyl sulfate surfactants below and above the critical micelle concentration and by double-stranded DNA, are interpreted by assuming that in bulk aqueous solution the dyes are essentially present as monomers. The strong enhancement of phi f, when the dye is bound to double-stranded DNA or solubilized in micelles, is suggested to be due to different environments at the benzimidazole rings. A quinoid intermediate with absorption maximum at 380 nm is formed for 1 at neutral pH using lambda exc = 248 or 308 nm. N-centered radicals of 1 or 2 in aqueous solution were observed by laser flash photolysis after electron ejection using wavelengths of 193 or 248 nm (mono and biphotonic, respectively). The precursor radical cation escaped observation but is transformed into the above radicals by deprotonation. Electron transfer from 1 in aqueous solution to triplet acetone takes place, and subsequent deprotonation is proposed to yield N-centered radicals. In addition, energy transfer from acetone to 1 is suggested, leading to T-T absorption with the maximum at 700 nm. The photoprocesses are discussed and the results compared with those known from pulse radiolysis.

Theoretical DFT study of fragmentation and association of heme and hemin

The electronic and geometric structures, energy stability, and normal vibrational frequencies of heme, hemine, and their stepwise fragmentation products (with successive loss of two carboxymethyl, four methyl, and two vinyl peripheral groups) in the states with different multiplicity were calculated using the density functional theory (the B3LYP method) with several basis sets. At the same level, the structure and stability of neutral and positively charged dimers of the ferri- and ferroporphyrines were also computed. The computational results are compared with available experimental data. The trends in the behavior of these properties of heme and hemin are analyzed upon the stepwise fragmentation and association and with a change in the multiplicity and external charge. The structure and energetic stability of complexes of the species with molecular oxygen are discussed.     

Quantum-chemical and group-additive calculations of the enthalpies of formation of hydroxylamines and oximes

The quality of calculations of the enthalpies of formation by the G2, G3, G3B3, and G3MP2B3 methods was estimated for substituted hydroxylamines and oximes. External correction of composite methods was performed to improve the accuracy of the results. The method of homodesmic reactions was used in calculations of large compounds comprising more than seven or eight nonhydrogen atoms. The enthalpies of formation of oximes and hydroxylamines were analyzed for their correspondence to the additive rule. The enthalpy increments of the thermochemical groups characteristic of the compounds under consideration were calculated, and certain trends in their variations revealed. The conclusion was drawn that the enthalpies of formation of organic derivatives of oximes and hydroxylamines of various structures could be calculated with high accuracy.

Electronic Structure and Substitution and Redox Reactivity of Imidazolate-Bridged Complexes of Pentacyanoferrate and Pentaammineruthenium

The mixed-valence compound [(NC)(5)Fe(II)-Im-Ru(III)(NH(3))(5)](-),M(i), was prepared in solution and as a solid sodium salt from [Fe(CN)(5)H(2)O](3)(-) and [Ru(NH(3))(5)Im](2+). The binuclear complex shows two bands at 366 nm (epsilon = 3350 M(-)(1) cm(-)(1)) and 576 nm (epsilon = 1025 M(-)(1) cm(-)(1)), assigned as LMCT transitions, as well as a near-IR band at 979 nm (epsilon = 962 M(-)(1) cm(-)(1)) associated with an intervalence transition. By calculation of the Hush model parameters alpha(2) and H(ab) (delocalization and electronic coupling factors, respectively), the complex is defined as a valence-trapped Fe(II)-Ru(III) system; this is confirmed by the measured redox potentials at -0.20 V and 0.30 V, associated with redox processes at the ruthenium and iron center, respectively. The formation stability constant of the mixed-valence ion was obtained through independent measurements of k(f) and k(d), the formation and dissociation specific rate constants, respectively. The stabilization of M(i) with respect to disproportionation into the isovalent states, as well as toward the formation of the electronic isomer, Fe(III)-Im-Ru(II), was also estimated. The fully reduced (R(i)) and fully oxidized (O(i)) binuclear complexes were prepared in solution and characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy. The kinetics of the reactions of R(i) and M(i) with peroxydisulfate were measured and a mechanistic analysis was performed, showing the relevance of electronic isomerization in completing the full conversion to O(i), through the assistance of the Ru(II)(NH(3))(5)(2+) center in the oxidation of the neighboring Fe(II)(CN)(5)(3)(-) moiety. The latter results are compared with those obtained with related complexes comprising different X(5)M-L moieties bound to Ru(II)(NH(3))(5)(2+). A linear correlation is displayed by plotting ln k(et) against E degrees (Ru), associated with the intramolecular oxidation rate constant of Ru(II) in the ion pair (binuclear species + peroxydisulfate) and the reduction potential of the corresponding Ru(III,II) couple in the ion pair.
