FTIR Studies on NO Adsorption on [Co+Mg(Sr)]/ZSM-5

IntroductionThe FTIR spectroscopy of NO adsorption on[Co +Mg(Sr) ]/ZSM- 5 has not been fullyelucidated yet.Previous researchers working onNO adsorption over Co/ZSM- 5 stated that thebands at 1 81 0 and 1 890 cm-1are due to dinitrosylspecies adsorbed on Co2 +[1] ,while the band at193 5 cm-1is attributable to mononitrosyl species.Aband near1 85 8cm-1(w) may be attributable tothe species of Co3O4 —NO[2 ] .Further,Zhu etal.[2 ]reported the bands at1 81 3 ,1 896 and1 93 9cm-1assigned to …     

A cholic acid-based fluorescent chemosenor for the detection of ATP

A novel ditopic cholic acid-based fluorescent chemosensor for ATP, 1a, was designed and synthesized. Its interactions with phosphates, AMP, ADP, ATP, CTP, GTP, and TTP have been investigated. When ATP was added to a 1:1 aqueous CH3CN solution of the sensor at pH 7.4, a significant decrease in fluorescence of 1a was observed, whereas other guest molecules showed a much smaller effect. The complex between 1a and ATP was confirmed through combined UV, 1H, 13C and 31P NMR spectroscopic methods. The uniqueness of the new sensor is that it binds with ATP 33-124 times more selectively than other nucleotides, as evidenced from the respective binding constants. 1a is a highly sensitive sensing probe; as little as 30 nM ATP can cause 15% fluorescence quenching of the sensor.     

The interplay of iron(II) spin transition and polymorphism

The mononuclear compound (1) [Fe(II)(L)(2)](BF(4))(2) (L = 4-ethynyl-2,6-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine) was prepared and structurally as well as magnetically characterised. The crystallisation revealed the formation of two polymorphs--the orthorhombic 1A and the tetragonal form 1B. A third, intermediate phase 1C was found exhibiting a different orthorhombic space group. Reversibility of the phase transition between 1A and 1C was studied by variable-temperature single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction studies, while an irreversible phase transition was observed for the transition of 1B→1C. The magnetic studies show that the 1A?1C transition is accompanied by a very abrupt spin transition (ST) with 8 K hysteresis width (T(1/2)(↓) = 337 K, T(1/2)(↑) = 345 K). The ST was confirmed by M?ssbauer spectroscopy as well as by DSC studies. In contrast, the 1B polymorph remained low-spin up to 420 K. In conclusion, a full cycle of intertwined phase- and spin-conversions of three polymorphs could be proven following the general scheme 1B→1C?1A.

Diarylurea-linked zinc porphyrin dimer as a dual-mode artificial receptor: supramolecular control of complexation-facilitated photoinduced electron transfer

A novel porphyrinic receptor 1 in which two zinc porphyrins are bridged by two diarylurea linkers was developed for recognition of a viologen derivative (hexyl viologen, HV). The electronic absorption spectra as well as the 1H NMR experiments revealed that the HV molecule was bound to the cleft in 1 mainly through carbonyl dipole-charge interactions to afford a 1:1 complex. From the steady-state fluorescence spectroscopic study, the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from 1 to HV was extremely facilitated by the receptor-substrate complexation. The receptor 1 also formed a 1:1 complex with 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) through two Zn-N coordination interactions, and, using DABCO as an inhibitor, we suppressed the PET reaction via the substrate exchange.     

(1S)-1-[(4R)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan+-4-yl][-2-hydroxyethylamm onium benzoate, a versatile building block for chiral 2-aminoalkanols: concise synthesis and application to nelfinavir, a potent HIV-protease inhibitor

A concise synthesis of a versatile chiral C4 building block for 2-aminoalkanols, (1S)-1-[(4R)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]-2-hydroxyethylammo nium benzoate (1a), was described. 1 (1a and its enantiomer 1b) acted as four stereoisomers of optically active 2-amino-1,3,4-butanetriol. The versatility of 1 was demonstrated by its application to the practical synthesis of nelfinavir (2), a potent HIV-protease inhibitor, as well as by the stereospecific synthesis of three diastereomers of 2.     

An artificial molecular chaperone: poly-pseudo-rotaxane with an extensible axle

Poly-pseudo-rotaxanes CDs contains as a subset 1 (CDs; cyclodextrins, 1; poly(delta-valerolactone) having single beta-CD at the end of the polymer chain) initiate polymerization of delta-valerolactone (delta-VL) in the solid state when CDs (alpha-CD, beta-CD, and 2,6-di-O-methyl-beta-CD) are threaded onto the polymer chain. 1 without threaded CDs did not show any polymerization ability for delta-VL. An adamantane molecule (Ad) inhibited the polymerization ability of CDs contains as a subset 1 for delta-VL, indicating that beta-CD at the end of CDs contains as a subset 1 could not bind delta-VL because the beta-CD cavity was occupied by Ad. It should be noted that the insertion reaction and the polymerization took place inside the beta-CD cavity at the end of CDs contains as a subset 1 and that the formation of poly-pseudo-rotaxane is necessary for the initiation of delta-VL. The structures of beta-CD contains as a subset 1 and 1 were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction measurements and solid-state NMR spectroscopies. The polymer chain of beta-CD contains as a subset 1 was found to elongate in the solid state, whereas the polymer chain of 1 formed a random coil conformation. 1 was deactivated for the polymerization by blocking the active cavity of beta-CD with the polymer chain. CDs threaded onto 1 are immune to the initiation of delta-VL directly but have an essential role to fold the polymer chain in a proper way as an artificial chaperone.

Semi-industrial isolation of salicin and amygdalin from plant extracts using slow rotary counter-current chromatography

Salicin in the bark extract of Salix alba and amygdalin in the fruit extract of Semen armeniacae were each separated by slow rotary counter-current chromatography (SRCCC). The apparatus was equipped with a 40-L column made of 17 mm i.d. convoluted Teflon tubing. A 500g amount of crude extract containing salicin at 13.5% was separated yielding 63.5 g of salicin at 95.3% purity in 20h using methyl tert-butyl ether-l-butanol (1:3) saturated by methanol-water (1:5) as a stationary phase and methanol-water (1:5) saturated by methyl tert-butyl ether-1-butanol (1:3) as a mobile phase. A 400g amount of crude extract containing amygdalin at 55.3% was isolated to yield 221.2g of amygdalin at 94.1% purity in 19h using ethyl acetate-1-butanol (1:2) saturated by water as a stationary phase and water saturated by ethyl acetate-1-butanol (1:2) as a mobile phase. The flow rate of the mobile phase was 50 ml/min. The results show that industrial SRCCC separation of salicin and amygdalin is feasible using a larger column at a higher flow rate of the mobile phase.

Design of chiral bis-phosphoric acid catalyst derived from (R)-3,3'-di(2-hydroxy-3-arylphenyl)binaphthol: catalytic enantioselective Diels-Alder reaction of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with amidodienes

Chiral bis-phosphoric acid 1 was designed to identify a new class of structural features in chiral Br?nsted acid catalysts. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the single atropisomer 1, bearing S axial chirality at 3,3'-biaryl substituents on (R)-binaphthyl and intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the two phosphoric acid moieties. The newly designed bis-phosphoric acid 1 was evaluated in the Diels-Alder reaction of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes 4 with 1-N-acylamino-1,3-butadienes 3. After systematic variation of the catalyst substituents, as well as the N-acyl substituents of 1,3-butadiene, the use of an N-Cbz amidodiene 3a in the presence of bis-phosphoric acid 1e with a 2,4,6-tri-isopropylphenyl group was found to be optimal to yield the 1S,6R enantiomeric product 5aa in a Diels-Alder reaction of acrolein (4a). Application of this method to substituted substrates was found to be an efficient approach to the enantioselective synthesis of 3- and 3,6-substituted cyclic formylcarbamates 5. The specific character as well as the utility of 1e was further established by comparing its enantioselectivity, absolute stereochemistry, and catalytic efficiency with those of mono-phosphoric acid 2.     

Asymmetric synthesis and translational competence of L-alpha-(1-cyclobutenyl)glycine

[reaction: see text] L-alpha-(1-Cyclobutenyl)glycine (1-Cbg) was targeted as a potentially translatable analogue of isoleucine and valine and as a useful building block for peptides. An enantioselective synthesis was executed in which the key step was diastereoselective addition of 1-cyclobutenylmagnesium bromide to the sulfinimine 2b derived from (S)-t-butanesulfinimide and tert-butyl glyoxylate. 1-Cbg was found to substitute efficiently for isoleucine and valine, but not leucine, in the translation of green fluorescent protein in vitro.     

Synthesis and photophysical evaluation of charge neutral thiourea or urea based fluorescent PET sensors for bis-carboxylates and pyrophosphate

The synthesis of the fluorescent photoinduced electron transfer (PET) chemosensors 1-3 for bis-anions such as bis-carboxylates and pyrophosphate in organic solvents is described herein. These sensors are based on the receptor-spacer-fluorophore-spacer-receptor motif where the receptors are charge neutral aromatic thiourea or urea receptors and the fluorophore is anthracene. The anion recognition was evaluated using 1H NMR as well as absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy in DMSO. For simple anions such as acetate or fluoride, the recognition was shown to be through hydrogen bonding of the corresponding anion to the receptors. This gave rise to only minor changes in the absorption spectra, but significant changes in the fluorescence emission spectra, which was substantially (70-95%) quenched. Analysis of these recognition events implied a 1 : 2 (sensor : anion) binding and ideal PET behaviour for ions such as AcO- and H2PO4-. For F-, the luminescent quenching indicated a 1 : 1 binding, but we deduced that this was due more to complete quenching of the excited state after the addition of one equivalent of the anion. For all of the anions, the quenching contributed to enhanced efficiency of PET from the receptors to the excited state of the fluorophore. In the case of the bis-anions (ambient), such as di-carboxylates, similar fluorescence quenching was observed. However, here either a 1 : 1 or a 1 : 2 binding was observed depending on the length of the spacer separating the two carboxylate moieties and the nature of the receptor. Whereas both pyrophosphate and malonate gave rise to a 1 : 1 binding, glutarate gave rise to approximately 1 : 2 binding for the thiourea sensors 1 and 2. However, for the urea based sensor 3, the binding was found to be 1 : 1 for all the bis-anions. For such a 1 : 1 binding we propose that the anion most likely bridges the fluorophore moiety. This was also evident from the 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) spectrum where the anthracene resonances were significantly affected. By simply modifying the electronic structure of the receptor, the sensitivity of the recognition process could also be modified; e.g. compound 1, bearing the trifluoromethyl substituent, showed stronger binding to the bis-anions than 2, which possessed a simple phenyl moiety.     

Synthesis of the proposed structure of fudecalone, an anticoccidial drimane terpenoid

[formula: see text] The proposed structure of fudecalone (1), an anticoccidial drimane sesquiterpene, was synthesized as a racemate in six steps starting from a known phthalide (5). Interestingly, our synthetic 1 showed conformation 1b, while the natural one was reported as 1a, and the NMR spectral data were not identical.     

Suppressive components in rice husk against mutagens-induced SOS response using Salmonella typhimurium TA1535/pSK1002 umu test

The EtOAc extract from rice (Oriza sativa cv. Hinohikari) husk showed a suppressive effect on umu gene expression of the SOS response in Salmonella typhimurium TA1535/pSK1002 against the mutagen, Trp-P-1, which requires liver metabolizing enzyme. To obtain the suppressive compound, the EtOAc extract was fractionated by SiO(2) column chromatography using umu test as a bioassay guide. Suppressive compound was isolated and identified as momilactone A (1) by EIMS, IR, (1)H- and (13)C-NMR spectroscopy. Compound 1 inhibited of the SOS-inducing activity of Trp-P-1 in the umu test. Gene expression was suppressed by 32.6% at less than 0.60 mM. Compound 1 was assayed with activated Trp-P-1. The suppressive effect of Compound 1 was decreased compared with that of Trp-P-1. Furthermore, 1 was assayed with another mutagens, such as MeIQ, activated MeIQ, furylfuramide (AF-2), MNNG, and UV-irradiation. Compound 1 showed greater suppressive effect on AF-2-inducing SOS response than other mutagens.     

Simple and high-yield purification of urine protein 1 using immunoaffinity chromatography: evidence for the identity of urine protein 1 and human Clara cell 10-kilodalton protein.

A simple and high-yield purification procedure for urine protein 1 (UP1) using anti-UP1 immunoaffinity chromatography is described. Pure UP1 was obtained in a final yield of 60.2%, and observed as a single electrophoretic band and as a single peak on reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The N-terminal amino acid residue of UP1 was found to be glutamic acid, contrary to what was reported previously. Furthermore, the N-terminal sequence of UP1 up to 53 amino acids was confirmed to be identical with that of mature human Clara cell 10-kilodalton protein, which inhibits phospholipase A2 activity.     

Synthesis of water-soluble polymeric prodrugs possessing 4-methylcatechol derivatives by mechanochemical solid-state copolymerization and nature of drug release

In this study we synthesized the water-soluble polymeric prodrugs possessing a 4-methylcatechol (4MC) derivative as a side chain by mechanochemical solid-state copolymerization. 1-benzoyl-4-methylcatechol (Bz4MC) was selected as a model compound of 4MC, and its methacryloyl derivative (1) was synthesized. 6-O-methacryloyl-D-galactose (2) was also prepared as a water-soluble monomer. The mechanochemical solid-state copolymerization of 1 and 2 was carried out to obtain the water-soluble polymeric prodrug possessing the Bz4MC as a side chain. The mechanochemical copolymerization of 1 and 2 proceeded to completion, and the polymeric prodrug produced possessed a narrow molecular weight distribution. Three kinds of polymeric prodrugs, whose compositions were different from one another, were hydrolyzed in vitro. The hydrolysis of these polymeric prodrugs proceeded to completion. The rate constants of hydrolysis decreased with increasing the mole fraction of 1 in polymeric prodrug. It was suggested that the rate constant of hydrolysis could be controlled by the composition, the mole fraction of 1 in the polymeric prodrug.

Fluorophore appended saccharide cyclophane: self-association, fluorescent properties, heterodimers with cyclodextrins, and cross-linking behavior with peanut agglutinin of dansyl-modified saccharide cyclophane

A saccharide cyclophane bearing an environment-sensitive fluorophore (1) was prepared by introducing not only three branches with a terminal galactose residue but also one with a dansyl moiety into a tetraaza[6.1.6.1]paracyclophane skeleton. Self-association behavior of the dansyl-appended saccharide cyclophane was characterized in aqueous media by fluorescence spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering measurements. At least in the concentrations below 1.0 x 10(-5) M, saccharide cyclophane 1 existed in a monomeric state, whereas it tended to form self-aggregated complexes in the higher concentration. Solvent polarity dependency on the emission spectra of 1 was examined by fluorescence spectroscopy. With increasing dioxane contents in dioxane/water solvents, the fluorescence intensity originating from the dansyl moiety of 1 increased along with a concomitant blue shift of the fluorescence maximum (lambda(em)). In the monomeric state of 1 in water, the dansyl moiety of 1 was not fully included into its cyclophane cavity but partially exposed to the bulk aqueous phase. In the higher concentration ranges in an aggregate state, however, the dansyl group of 1 was located in the apolar cyclophane cavity whose microenvironment was equivalent to the polarity of 1-butanol evaluated on the basis of a correlation between lambda(em) and solvent polarity. This indicates an intermolecular inclusion of the dansyl moiety within the cyclophane. When cyclodextrin (CD) was mixed with 1, the dansyl group of 1 was bound to an internal cavity of CD such as gamma-CD, beta-CD, 6-O-alpha-glucosyl-beta-CD, and 6-O-alpha-maltosyl-beta-CD with binding constants of 7.5 x 10(2), 7.8 x 10(2), 7.7 x 10(2), and 6.0 x 10(2) M(-1), respectively. Such a supramolecular assembling of dansyl-modified cyclophane 1 and CDs caused changes of the fluorescence spectra as well as appearance of induced CD bands in aqueous media. Furthermore, saccharide cyclophane 1 was selectively bound to peanut agglutinin (PNA), galactoside-binding lectin, which was readily monitored by a visible turbidity of the solution due to a cross-linking agglutination of these components, as well as by fluorescence spectroscopy.
