Synthesis of some 5′-O-amino acid derivatives of uridine as potential inhibitors ofUDP-glucuronosyltransferase

Summary In an attempt to develop potential inhibitors ofUDP-glucuronosyltransferase, some 5-O-amino acid derivatives of uridine were synthesized. N-protectedL-amino acids were coupled at the 5-O-position of 2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine by esterification employing the method of symmetrical anhydrides in presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine, 5-O-(N-benzyloxycarbonyl-O-tert.butyl-L-threonl)-23-O-isopropylideneuridine (1), 5-O-(N-tert.butyloxycarbonyl-O-benzyl-L-seryl)-2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine and (2), 5-O-(N-tert.butyloxycarbonyl-L-valyl)-2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine (3), and 5-O-(N-tert.butyloxycarbonyl-L-valyl)-2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine (4) were obtained in good yield after column chromatography on silica gel. The treatment of2 withTFA/CH₂Cl₂ (6:1) at room temperature for 30 min led to a selective removal of theBoc group without deblocking of the 2,3-O-isopropylidene group of uridine. Treatment of2 withTFA/H₂O (5:1) at room temperature for 1 h, however, released bothBoc and 2,3-isopropylidene groups. TheZ group of1 was deprotected by catalytic hydrogenolysis over 10% Pd/C/ammonium formate.

Synthese von 5-O-Aminosäurederivaten des Uridins als potentielle Inhibitoren derUDP-Glukuronosyl-Transferase

Zusammenfassung In einem Versuch, potentielle Inhibitoren derUDP-Glukuronosyl-Transferase zu entwickeln, wurden einige 5-O-Aminosäurederivate des Uridins synthetisiert. N-GeschützteL-Aminosäuren wurden durch Veresterung mit der 5-O-Position des 2,3-isopropylidenuridins gekuppelt (Methode der symmetrischen Anhydride in der Gegenwart von 5-Dimethylaminopyridin). Solcherweise wurden 5-O-(N-Benzyloxycarbonyl-O-tert.butyl-L-threonly)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridin (1), 5-O-(N-tert.Butyloxycarbonyl-O-benzyl-L-seryl)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridin (2), 5-O-(N-tert.Butyloxycarbonyl-L-leucyl)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridin (3) und 5-O-(N-tert.Butyloxycarbonyl-L-valyl)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridine (4) nach Säulenchromatographie (Kieselgel) in guter Ausbeute hergestellt. Die Behandlung von2 mitTFA/CH₂Cl₂ (6:1) bei Zimmertemperatur (30 min) führte zu einer selektiven Abspaltung derBoc-Gruppe ohne Deblockierung der 2,3-O-Isopropylidengruppe des Uridins. Eine Behandlung von2 mitTFA/H₂O (5:1) bei Zimmertemperatur für 1 Stunde führte hingegen zur Abspaltung sowohl derBoc als auch der 2,3-O-Isopropylidengruppe. DieZ-Gruppe von1 wurde durch katalytische Hydrogenolyse auf 10% Pd/C/Ammoniumformiat abgespalten.

     

Some remarks on the periodical change of the stability constants of the lanthanide complexes

The correlations between the values of the lgK (K = stability constant of the lanthanide complex) and the reciprocal of the ionic radius 1/r or the sum of the ionization potentials ₁ ³ I for the lanthanide ions were reviewed for different ligands. A straight-line relationship (lgK – lgK)/lgK vs. (1/r – 1/r)/(1/r) or vs. ( ₁ ³ I – ₁ ³ I)/ ₁ ³ I was found within the tetrads La-Nd, Gd-Ho, and Er-Lu.

Bi- and polynuclear organometallic complexes of palladium(II) with 4,4′-bipyridine

Summary Binuclear organometallic palladium complexes of the general formulae Pd₂[-(N-N)]R₂L₄(ClO₄)₂ and Pd₂[-(N-N)]Cl₂R₂L₂ [R = C₆F₅ or C₆CI₅; L = group VB or VIB ligand; (N-N') = 4,4-bipyridine] have been prepared by reacting the ligand (N-N) with compounds of the type Pd₂(-CI)₂R₂L₂ or PdOClO₃RL₂. Furthermore, polynuclear [PdR₂(N-N)]_x (R = Cl, C₆F₅ or C₆Cl₅) type complexes have been obtained by reaction of the ligand (N-N) with PdR₂(tht)₂, whilst treatment of [Pd₂(-CI)₂(C₆F₅)₄](NBu₄)₂ with an excess of (N-N) leads to the polynuclearcis-[Pd(C₆F₅)z(N-N)]_x species. Evidence for the structure of these compounds is obtained from their i.r. spectra.     

Lumineszierende Cu(I)- und Ag(I)-Cluster mit Thionoliganden

Zusammenfassung Cu(I) bildet mit zahlreichen nicht lumineszierenden Thionoliganden (N-monosubstituierten N-Sulfonylthioharnstoffen, N,N-Dialkyl-N-phenylthioharnstoffen und N,N-Dialkylmonothiocarbamaten) rot lumineszierende oktaedrische Cluster (CuL)₆. Die Lumineszenz tritt sowohl im Festzustand als auch in Lösungen auf. Abklingzeiten von 10^–5s deuten auf kurzlebige Phosphoreszenz hin. Der Einfluß verschiedener Strukturelemente auf die Lage der Emissionsmaxima wird diskutiert. Dabei bewirken Veränderungen in der Metall-Ligand-Koordination die stärkste Verschiebung der Lumineszenzbanden. Tetraedrische (CuL)₄-Cluster mit den obigen Thionoliganden zeigen keine Lumineszenz. Generelle Unterschiede in der Struktur oktaedrischer und tetraedrischer Cluster werden diskutiert.Ag(I) bildet nur mit N-Alkyl-N-sulfonylthioharnstoffen lumineszierende Cluster (AgL)₆. Die Lumineszenz ist im Gegensatz zu den Cu-Clustern auf den Festzustand beschränkt.

Luminescent Cu(I) and Ag(I) clusters with thiono ligands

Summary Octahedrical (CuL)₆ clusters with several non luminescent thiono ligands (N-monosubstituted N-sulfonylthioureas, N,N-dialkyl-N-phenylthioureas and N,N-dialkylmonothiocarbamates) show red luminescence in the solid state and in solution. The luminescence lifetimes of 10^–5s are typical of short lived phosphorescence. The emission bands are affected by structural variation of the ligand. Changes of the coordination bonds cause the strongest shifts of the luminescence maxima. Tetrahedrical (CuL)₄ clusters with the same thiono ligands are not luminescent. General structural differences between octahedral and tetrahedral clusters are discussed.(AgL)₆ clusters are only luminescent in the solid state and if the ligand is a N-monosubstituted N-sulfonylthiourea

     

3- and 4-Pyridinecarboxylic acidN-oxide complexes with manganese(II), cobalt(II) and nickel(II) chlorides

Summary During interaction of ethanol-triethyl orthoformate solutions of nicotinic or isonicotinic acidN-oxides (LH and LH, respectively) with MCl₂ (M = Mn, Co, Ni), only one true adduct, of the Ni(LH)₃Cl₂ · 2 H₂O type was obtained. In all other cases, partial substitution of Cl^– ions with the corresponding pyridinecarboxylateN-oxide anionic ligands (L or L) occurred. As a result, mixed ligands (LH-L or LH-L) were precipitated, as follows: Mn(LH)₂LCl, Co(LH)LCl, Mn(LH)LCl · 4H₂O, Co(LH)LCl · H₂O and Ni₂(LH)LCl₃ · 6 H₂O. The insolubility of the new complexes in all common solvents, combined with the pronounced tendency of the 3- and 4-pyridinecarboxylates and theirN-oxides to function as bidentate bridging ligands, favours bi- or polynuclear structures. Spectral data suggest that Ni(LH)₃Cl₂ · 2 H₂O is hexacoordinate, and the rest of the new complexes pentacoordinate. Bi- or polynuclear structures, involving double -M-(L)₂-M- or-M-(LH)₂-M- and single -M-(L)-M- or-M(L)-M-(LH)-M- bridges, were proposed on the basis of the overall evidence; additional features of the proposed structural types are: exclusively coordinated chloro ligands, in all cases; aqua ligands [Co(LH)LCl · H₂O]; lattice water [Ni(LH)₂Cl₂ · 2H₂O]; both lattice and coordinated H₂O [Mn(LH)LCl · 4H₂O, and Ni₂(LH)LCl₃ · 6H₂O]; and, with the exception of Ni₂(LH)LCl₃ · 6 H₂O, terminal, unidentate, N-O oxygen-bonded LH or LH ligands.Abstracted in part from the Ph.D. Thesis (in preparation) of L. S. Gelfand, Drexel University.     

Synthesis of new dinuclear dicopper(II) and dinickel(II) complexes. The kinetics of catechol oxidase and electrochemistry of a dicopper(II) complex

A new dinuclear ligand L, ethylene[OO-bis-salicylidene--diketone] bearing two symmetrical coordination sites was synthesized by the condensation of salicylaldehyde and acetylacetone, L, with 1,2-dibromoethane under reflux. The ligand L in a 1:1 ratio was treated with CuCl₂ and NiCl₂ to yield the complexes, tetrachloro bis[OO-bis- salicylidene--diketone copper(II)] and bis[OO-bis-salicylidene--diketone nickel(II)] chloride. The complexes were subsequently characterized by spectroscopic techniques, elemental analysis, i.r., ¹H-n.m.r., ¹³C-n.m.r., u.v.–vis., e.p.r. spectroscopy, and conductance measurements. The conductance measurements in DMF reveal that the Cu^II complex is covalent while the Ni^II complex is ionic and the spectral data support the Cu^II complex to be distorted octahedral whereas the Ni^II complex has square-planar geometry. The dioxygen binding was studied spectrophotometrically by the oxidation of tetrachloro bis[OO-bis-salicylidene--diketone copper(II)] with pyrocatechol in the presence of oxygen. The kinetic experiments were performed with the copper complex in DMF by monitoring the increase in absorbance over time at pH 8.0 in the presence of pyrocatechol at 25 °C. The kinetic parameters V_max and K_M were determined on the Michaelis–Menten Approach. Redox behavior of the dinuclear copper(II) complex was investigated by cyclic voltammetry in the presence of O₂ with the pyrocatechol (substrate) and also without the substrate. The large difference in potentials E⁰ is indicative of reversible oxygen binding of the complex and distinct catalytic activity.     

Binuclear Osmium μ-Oxocarboxylate Complexes [Os2(μ-O)(μ-O2CR)2Cl4L2] (R = CH3, CCl3; L = PPh3, AsPh3) and Their Electrochemical Behavior in Dichloromethane

Cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic coulometry techniques were used to determine how the redox properties of osmium binuclear -oxocarboxylates [Os₂ ^IV(-O)(-O₂CR)₂Cl₄L₂] (R = CH₃, CCl₃; L = PPh₃ and R = CH₃; L = AsPh₃) are influenced by the nature of the bridging carboxylate ligand RCOO^– and ligand L. It was shown that all compounds in solution of dichloromethane undergo two single-electron reduction processes. The data obtained were compared with the DFT calculations of the electronic structure of the model complexes [Os₂ ^IV(-O)(-O₂CR)₂Cl₄L₂] (R = CH₃, CCl₃; L = PH₃ and R = CH₃; L = AsH₃).     

Die Dissoziationskonstanten von 2,2′-Dihydroxydiphenylmethanderivaten

The pK-values of the first and second degree of dissociation of 2.2-dihydroxy-5-methyl-3.5-dinitro-diphenylmethane, 2.2-dihydroxy-5-methyl-5-nitro-diphenylmethane and 2.2-dihydroxy-5.5-dimethyl-3-nitro-diphenylmethane were determined in aqueous solution at 25°C spectrophotometrically. Comparing the observed pK-values with those of 2-methyl-4.6-dinitrophenol, 2-methyl-4-nitrophenol, 2.4-dimethyl-6-nitro-phenol and 2.4-dimethylphenol, we found a decrease of the values of pK ₁ and an increase of pK ₂. We explain this by the formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bridge which stabilizes the anion of the half dissociated form. This assumption is supported by the UV spectra.

2,2′-Diphenyl-Δ3,3′-bi-3H-indole-1,1′-dioxide: Molecular interactions and crystal structure

The Dinitrone 2,2-diphenyl-^3,3-bi-3H-indole-1,1-dioxide acts as a demethylating and dehydrogenating agent. The mechanism of interaction of the dinitrone with donors and acceptors does not involve intermediate charge-transfer complexes probably due to a self association between dinitrone molecules (as supported by X-ray determinations). The crystal structure of the dinitrone was obtained by direct methods;a=9.967 (2),b=19.817 (3),c=10.875 (2) Å, =111.2 (2)°, space group P2₁/n.

Synthesis of 2-O-ethyl analogues of 3′-azido- and 3′-fluoro-2′,3′-dideoxyuridines and evaluation of their biological activity against HIV

Summary 2-O-Ethyluracil and 2-O-ethylthymine were silylated with 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane and condensed in the presence ofTMS triflate with 2,3-dideoxy-3-fluoro-D-erythro-pentofuranoside, 3-azido-2,3-dideoxy-D-erythro-pentofuranoside, and 2,3-dideoxy-3-phthalimido--D-erythro-pentofuranose derivatives to give the corresponding 2-O-ethyl nucleosides. Deprotection with saturated methanolic ammonia afforded the 2,3-dideoxy-3-fluoro-2-O-ethyluridines, whereas 3-azido-2,3-dideoxy-3-O-ethyluridine was obtained by deprotection with tetrabutylammonium fluoride in tetrahydrofuran. 3-Amino-2,3-dideoxy-3-O-ethyluridine could be obtained only by treatment of the corresponding 3-azido nucleoside with triphenylphosphine in pyridine. 3-Deoxy-2-O-ethyl-3-fluorothymidine (6b) showed moderate activity against HIV-1.

Two strong emitting coordination polymers with chain and ladder structures

Two coordination polymers [Zn(Cabo)₂(EtOH)₂(4,4-Bipy)] _n (1), and [Zn₂(Cabo)₂(NO₃)₂(4,4-Bipy)₂] _n (2) (Cabo = carbazolylacetate, 4,4-Bipy = 4,4-bipyridine) with chain and ladder structures, respectively, were prepared and characterized by X-ray single-crystal structural analysis. The results showed that the different anions of metal salts have a large effect on the construction of coordination frameworks. Both complexes show strong emissions in the solid state as well as high thermal stability.     

Dinuclear Complexes Contributing to Softness of Metal Acceptors

Since emf measurements with amalgam electrodes have been used, in most studies of the stabilities of complexes between soft metal acceptors and halide ions a series of investigations of the kinetics of electrode reactions were accomplished with halide systems of metal ions in the Groups 11 and 12 in aqueous and/or DMSO solutions. The aim was to establish which complexes contribute to the exchange current density, i _o. Such measurements are found to be a very sensitive method for identifying dinuclear complexes that can display much higher charge transfer rate constants than mononuclear complexes can. From these results it can be stated that hard acceptors do not show any tendency to form dinuclear halide complexes, whereas soft acceptors are apt to do so. This fact leads to the conclusion that dinuclear complexes have a strong internuclear bond. In determinations of the overall stability constant _j of a complex ML _j there is an influence from a complex M₂L _j with a constant _j , resulting in the substitution of _j for ( _j + 2a _{j j} ), where a _j = [M] when the ligand number n = (C _L – [L])/C _M has the value j. An approximate value of the association constant, K _ass, of the internuclear bond can be calculated from _j if _j is known. On the basis of these measurements the most probable types of the internuclear bonds are discussed.

Contributions to silica gel application in pesticide residue analysis

Summary An on-line method for the extraction and isolation of pesticides in milk and dairy products is discussed. Milk and aqueous dairy products are homogenized with silica gel. This sample having a water content of approximately 40% is brought into a column, which is filled with the 10% water silica gel necessary for the clean-up. Extraction and clean-up of the pesticides occurs on-line with light petroleum — dichloromethane 80+20 (v/v). The pesticides move with the solvent front from the upper silica gel to the lower 10% water column, where they are cleaned up. Quantitative identification of the pesticides is performed by glass capillary gas chromatography (ECD) as well as by mass spectroscopy. HCB, -HCH, -HCH, -HCH, -Heptachloroepoxide, p,p-DDE, Dieldrin, o,p-DDT, p,p-DDT, 2,4,5,2,4,5-Hexachlorobiphenyl and 2,3,4,2,4,5-Hexachlorobiphenyl were identified in milkThe hexachlorobiphenyl concentrations in milk are about 20 times the value of o,p-DDT and p,p-DDT.

Beiträge zur Verwendung von Kieselgel in der PesticidanalytikIII. On-Line-Verfahren zur Extraktion und zur Isolierung von Chlorkohlenwasserstoff-Pesticiden und polychlorierten Biphenylen aus Milch und Molkereiprodukten

Zusammenfassung Eine on-line-Methode zur Extraktion und Isolierung der Chlorkohlenwasserstoff-Pesticide in Milch und Milchprodukten wird beschrieben. Milch und wäßrige Milchprodukte werden zuerst mit Kieselgel homogenisiert. Diese Probenhomogenisate mit einem Wassergehalt von etwa 40% werden anschließend in eine Chromatographiesäule gefüllt, in der sich bereits das für den clean-up erforderliche Kieselgel mit 10% Wasserbelegung befindet. Die Extraktion bzw. der clean-up der Pesticide erfolgt on-line mit Petrolether-Dichlormethan 80+20 (v/v). Die Pesticide werden in der Lösungsmittelfront von der oberen auf die untere Kieselgelsäule (10% Wassergehalt) transportiert, an welcher schließlich die Abtrennung der Pesticide von den Störkomponenten erfolgt. Die Identifizierung und Quantifizierung der Pesticide erfolgt sowohl gas-chromatographisch (ECD) an Capillarsäulen als auch massenspektrometrisch. HCB, -HCH, -HCH, -HCH, -Heptachlorepoxid, p,p-DDE, Dieldrin, o,p-DDT, p,p-DDT, 2,4,5,2,4,5-Hexachlorbiphenyl und 2,3,4,2,4,5-Hexachlorbiphenyl wurden in der Milch gefunden. Die Gehalte der beiden Hexachlorbiphenylkomponenten sind etwa 20mal so groß wie die von o,p-DDT und p,p-DDT.

A new direction of the reaction of pennogenin diacetate with BF₃·Et₂O has been discovered in which a previously unknown dimeric steroid is formed — (25R,22R,25R)-3,3-diacetoxy-26,22-epoxy-16,16-bifurosta-5,20(22), 5,17(20)-tetraen-26-ol, the structure of which has been established as the result of an analysis of IR, UV,¹H and¹³C NMR, and mass spectra. A probable mechanism for the formation of the title compound from pennogenin diacetate is suggested.Pacific Ocean Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Far Eastern Branch, USSR Academy of Sciences, Vladivostok.
