Semiempirical calculations have been carried out on the interactions of [R2Sn(H2O)2]2+, [R = H(CH2)n: n = 1–8], mainly with five nucleotides, 5′‐adenosine monophosphate (5′‐AMP), but also with guanosine 5′‐monophosphate (5′‐GMP), cytidine 5′‐monophosphate (5′‐CMP), uridine‐5′‐monophosphate (5′‐UMP) and inosine 5′‐monophosphate (5′‐IMP). The preferred sites of interaction were calculated to be the ribose O2 and O3 hydroxyl oxygens and/or the phosphate oxygens, with the nitrogen sites in the bases the least attractive to the tin compounds. This is in general agreement with experimental findings. Structures of the 1:1 coordination complexes vary from distorted tetrahedral, to distorted trigonal pyramidal to distorted octahedral geometries. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

Herein, we report a new CE method to measure adenine nucleotides adenosine 5′‐triphosphate, adenosine 5′‐diphosphate, and adenosine 5′‐monophosphate in red blood cells. For this purpose, 20 mmol/L sodium acetate buffer at pH 3.80 was used as running electrolyte, and the separation was performed by the simultaneous application of a CE voltage of 25 kV and an overimposed pressure of 0.2 psi from inlet to outlet. A rapid separation of these analytes in less than 1.5 min was obtained with a good reproducibility for intra‐ and inter‐assay (CV<4 and 8%, respectively) and an excellent analytical recovery (from 98.3 to 99%). The applicability of our method was proved by measuring adenine nucleotides in red blood cells.  相似文献

While halogenated nucleosides are used as common anticancer and antiviral drugs, naturally occurring halogenated nucleosides are rare. Adechlorin (ade) is a 2′‐chloro nucleoside natural product first identified from Actinomadura sp. ATCC 39365. However, the installation of chlorine in the ade biosynthetic pathway remains elusive. Reported herein is a Fe2+‐α‐ketoglutarate halogenase AdeV that can install a chlorine atom at the C2′ position of 2′‐deoxyadenosine monophosphate to afford 2′‐chloro‐2′‐deoxyadenosine monophosphate. Furthermore, 2′,3′‐dideoxyadenosine‐5′‐monophosphate and 2′‐deoxyinosine‐5′‐monophosphate can also be converted, albeit 20‐fold and 2‐fold, respectively, less efficiently relative to the conversion of 2′‐deoxyadenosine monophosphate. AdeV represents the first example of a Fe2+‐α‐ketoglutarate‐dependent halogenase that converts nucleotides into chlorinated analogues.  相似文献

In this study, we have developed a method to assess adenosine 5?‐triphosphate by adsorptive extraction using surface adenosine 5′‐triphosphate‐imprinted polymer over polystyrene nanoparticles (412 ± 16 nm) for selective recognition/separation from urine. Molecularly imprinted polymer was synthesized by emulsion copolymerization reaction using adenosine 5′‐triphosphate as a template, functional monomers (methacrylic acid, N‐isopropyl acrylamide, and dimethylamino ethylmethacrylate) and a crosslinker, methylenebisacrylamide. The binding capacities of imprinted and non‐imprinted polymers were measured using high‐performance liquid chromatography with UV detection with a detection limit of 1.6 ± 0.02 µM of adenosine 5′‐triphosphate in the urine. High binding affinity (QMIP, 42.65 µmol/g), and high selectivity and specificity to adenosine 5′‐triphosphate compared to other competitive nucleotides including adenosine 5?‐diphosphate, adenosine 5?‐monophosphate, and analogs such as adenosine, adenine, uridine, uric acid, and creatinine were observed. The imprinting efficiency of imprinted polymer is 2.11 for urine (QMIP, 100.3 µmol/g) and 2.51 for synthetic urine (QMIP, 48.5 µmol/g). The extraction protocol was successfully applied to the direct extraction of adenosine 5′‐triphosphate from spiked human urine indicating that this synthesized molecularly imprinted polymer allowed adenosine 5′‐triphosphate to be preconcentrated while simultaneously interfering compounds were removed from the matrix. These submicron imprinted polymers over nano polystyrene spheres have a potential in the pharmaceutical industries and clinical analysis applications.  相似文献

The development of electroanalytical methods for the detection and quantification of nucleotides in DNA offers vital implications in assessing the degree of oxidation or epigenetic modification in DNA. Unfortunately, the electrochemical response of oligonucleotides is strongly influenced by the size, composition and nucleic base sequence. In this article, an optimized analytical procedure for the enzymatically breakdown of the oligonucleotides to their corresponding nucleotides for the evaluation of the electrochemical response through the use of square wave voltammetry (SWV) is presented. Enzymatic digestion of oligonucleotides has been optimized in terms of buffer composition, digestion time, strategy for stopping the enzymatic reaction and filtration requirement for enzyme removal, and then compared to an established protocol. Under the optimized protocol SWV response of a number of untreated and enzymatically digested six‐mer oligonucleotides, namely 5′‐GGGGGG‐3′, 5′‐AAAAAA‐3′, 5′‐CGCGCG‐3′ and 5′‐AAACGC‐3′ have been analysed, providing a higher sensitivity for the determination of guanosine and adenosine monophosphate species under digestion conditions with a more facile and cost effective procedure. The novel strategy for the enzymatically treated oligonucleotides in combination with the SWV response provides a proof of principle for feasible applications in the diagnosis of methylated guanosine in DNA as a potential biomarker due to its relation with cancer.  相似文献

Monitoring of pharmacodynamics in addition to pharmacokinetics is one of strategies to individualize mycophenolate mofetil therapy. The purpose of this study was to develop sensitive liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC‐MS/MS) methods for evaluation of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of mycophenolic acid (MPA). Concentrations of mycophenolic acid glucuronide (MPAG), mycophenolic acid acyl‐glucuronide, as well as unbound MPA and MPAG, were determined, and inosine‐5′‐monophosphate dehydrogenase activity was calculated by measuring concentrations of produced xanthosine‐5′‐monophosphate (XMP) and intracellular adenosine‐5′‐monophosphate after incubation of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) lysates. A metal‐free MastroTM column and two gradient patterns were used to improve the quantification limit of XMP to 0.1 μm . In the clinical MPA concentration range, the linearity of the calibration curve, inter‐ and intra‐day precision and accuracy satisfied the relevant US Food and Drug Administration guidelines. The MPA concentrations in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) patients determined by the enzyme assay and the present LC‐MS/MS method showed a good correlation (r2 = 0.95, p < 0.001). In this study, we report sensitive and validated LC‐MS/MS methods to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of MPA, which are sufficiently sensitive to assess small quantities of PBMC lysates collected shortly after HSCT.

A fluorescent sensor for catecholamines, NS510, is presented. The sensor is based on a quinolone fluorophore incorporating a boronic acid recognition element that gives it high affinity for catecholamines and a turn‐on response to norepinephrine. The sensor results in punctate staining of norepinephrine‐enriched chromaffin cells visualized using confocal microscopy indicating that it stains the norepinephrine in secretory vesicles. Amperometry in conjunction with total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy demonstrates that the sensor can be used to observe destaining of individual chromaffin granules upon exocytosis. NS510 is the highest affinity fluorescent norepinephrine sensor currently available and can be used for measuring catecholamines in live‐cell assays.  相似文献

The ring‐closing reaction of 5′‐adenosine monophosphate (5′‐AMP) to generate cyclic 3′, 5′‐adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and H2O was theoretically investigated at the B3LYP/6‐31G**level. It was found that the ring‐closing reaction of 5′‐AMP may proceed in a synchronous way or in a stepwise way. For the latter, the reaction is a multichannel elimination reaction including inner H transfer. The potential energy surface of Path 3 is lowest in all the ring‐closing reaction paths. In addition, H shuttling reaction with the participation of a water molecule to act as a shuttle were also studied at the same level. The calculations indicate that the participation of a water molecule facilitates hydrogen transfer reaction. Our present calculations rationalized all the possible reaction channels. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2005  相似文献

Purine 3′:5′‐cyclic nucleotides are very well known for their role as the secondary messengers in hormone action and cellular signal transduction. Nonetheless, their solid‐state conformational details still require investigation. Five crystals containing purine 3′:5′‐cyclic nucleotides have been obtained and structurally characterized, namely adenosine 3′:5′‐cyclic phosphate dihydrate, C10H12N5O6P·2H2O or cAMP·2H2O, (I), adenosine 3′:5′‐cyclic phosphate 0.3‐hydrate, C10H12N5O6P·0.3H2O or cAMP·0.3H2O, (II), guanosine 3′:5′‐cyclic phosphate pentahydrate, C10H12N5O7P·5H2O or cGMP·5H2O, (III), sodium guanosine 3′:5′‐cyclic phosphate tetrahydrate, Na+·C10H11N5O7P·4H2O or Na(cGMP)·4H2O, (IV), and sodium inosine 3′:5′‐cyclic phosphate tetrahydrate, Na+·C10H10N4O7P·4H2O or Na(cIMP)·4H2O, (V). Most of the cyclic nucleotide zwitterions/anions [two from four cAMP present in total in (I) and (II), cGMP in (III), cGMP in (IV) and cIMP in (V)] are syn conformers about the N‐glycosidic bond, and this nucleobase arrangement is accompanied by Crib—H…Npur hydrogen bonds (rib = ribose and pur = purine). The base orientation is tuned by the ribose pucker. An analysis of data obtained from the Cambridge Structural Database made in the context of synanti conformational preferences has revealed that among the syn conformers of various purine nucleotides, cyclic nucleotides and dinucleotides predominate significantly. The interactions stabilizing the syn conformation have been indicated. The inter‐nucleotide contacts in (I)–(V) have been systematized in terms of the chemical groups involved. All five structures display three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded networks.  相似文献

Current probes for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) detection had been developed mainly by adding a phosphate group to a dye, which would lead to indistinct performance when implemented in a living system as several phosphatases exist together. In this study, the nucleotides adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) were introduced into 2′‐(2′‐hydroxyphenyl)‐benzothiazole‐based probes, and highly fluorescent turn‐on probes with good selectivity towards ALP over several phosphatases, as well as high affinity and low toxicity were obtained. In the presence of l ‐phenylalanine, an ALP inhibitor, a strong decrease in fluorescence recovery was observed. These probes allowed for real‐time imaging of endogenous ALP activity in living cells as well as in a zebrafish model.  相似文献

In the luminous ostracod Cypridina (presently Vargula) hilgendorfii, Cypridina luciferyl sulfate (3‐enol sulfate of Cypridina luciferin) is converted to Cypridina luciferin by a sulfotransferase with 3′‐phosphoadenosine‐5′‐phosphate (PAP) as a sulfate acceptor. The resultant Cypridina luciferin is used for the luciferase–luciferin reaction of Cypridina to emit blue light. The luminescence stimulation with major organic cofactors was examined using the crude extracts of Cypridina specimens, and we found that the addition of coenzyme A (CoA) to the crude extracts significantly stimulated luminescence intensity. Further, the light‐emitting source in the crude extracts stimulated with CoA was identified as Cypridina luciferyl sulfate, and we demonstrated that CoA could act as a sulfate acceptor from Cypridina luciferyl sulfate. In addition, the sulfate group of Cypridina luciferyl sulfate was also transferred to adenosine 5′‐monophosphate (5′‐AMP) and adenosine 3′‐monophosphate (3′‐AMP) by a sulfotransferase. The sulfated products corresponding to CoA, 5′‐AMP and 3′‐AMP were identified using mass spectrometry. This is the first report that CoA can act as a sulfate acceptor in a sulfotransferase reaction.  相似文献

The protonation constants of adenosine 5′‐monophosphate, guanosine 5′‐monophosphate, and inosine 5′‐monophosphate were determined in binary mixtures of H2O containing 0, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50% MeOH, using a combination of potentiometric and spectrophotometric methods at a constant temperature (25°) and constant ionic strength (0.1 mol?dm?3 NaClO4). The protonation constants were analyzed using the normalized polarity parameter (E ), and Kamlet, Abboud, and Taft (KAT) parameters. A linear correlation of log K vs. the normalized polarity parameter was obtained. Dual‐parameter correlation of log K vs. π* (dipolarity/polarizability) and α (H‐bond‐donor acidity), as well as π* and β (H‐bond‐acceptor basicity) also gives good results in various aqueous organic solvent mixtures. Finally, the results are discussed in terms of the effect of solvent on the protonation equilibria.  相似文献

The AM1‐BCC method quickly and efficiently generates high‐quality atomic charges for use in condensed‐phase simulations. The underlying features of the electron distribution including formal charge and delocalization are first captured by AM1 atomic charges for the individual molecule. Bond charge corrections (BCCs), which have been parameterized against the HF/6‐31G* electrostatic potential (ESP) of a training set of compounds containing relevant functional groups, are then added using a formalism identical to the consensus BCI (bond charge increment) approach. As a proof of the concept, we fit BCCs simultaneously to 45 compounds including O‐, N‐, and S‐containing functionalities, aromatics, and heteroaromatics, using only 41 BCC parameters. AM1‐BCC yields charge sets of comparable quality to HF/6‐31G* ESP‐derived charges in a fraction of the time while reducing instabilities in the atomic charges compared to direct ESP‐fit methods. We then apply the BCC parameters to a small “test set” consisting of aspirin, d ‐glucose, and eryodictyol; the AM1‐BCC model again provides atomic charges of quality comparable with HF/6‐31G* RESP charges, as judged by an increase of only 0.01 to 0.02 atomic units in the root‐mean‐square (RMS) error in ESP. Based on these encouraging results, we intend to parameterize the AM1‐BCC model to provide a consistent charge model for any organic or biological molecule. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) account for majority of skin malignancies in the United States. The incidence of BCCs is strongly associated with exposure of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Nucleotide‐binding domain, leucine‐rich‐repeat‐containing family, pyrin domain‐containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome plays an important role in innate immune responses. Different stimuli such as toxins, microorganisms and particles released from injured cells activate the NLRP3 inflammasome. Activated NLRP3 results in activation of caspase‐1, which cleaves pro‐IL‐1β to active IL‐1β. In this study, we have shown that NLRP3 is expressed in human basal cell carcinomas. The proximal steps in activation of NLRP3 inflammasome are not well understood. Here, we have attempted to elucidate a critical role for Ca2+ mobilization in activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome by UVB exposure using HaCaT keratinocytes. We have demonstrated that UVB exposure blocks Ca2+ mobilization by downregulating the expression of sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+‐ATPase (SERCA2), a component of store‐operated Ca2+ entry that leads to activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome.  相似文献

Simultaneous determination of adenosine and adenosine‐5′‐triphosphate has been described using nanogold modified indium tin oxide electrode. Gold nanoparticles catalyze adenosine oxidation which results in increasing separation of oxidation peaks of adenosine and ATP, making it possible to determine adenosine and adenosine‐5′‐triphosphate simultaneously. The detection limits for adenosine and ATP were found as 0.07 μM and 0.10 μM respectively with sensitivity 22.9 nA μM?1 and 20.9 nA μM?1. The proposed method was also used for sensing the compounds in biological samples. Influence of various square‐wave parameters and different pH conditions on peak current has also been reported.  相似文献

Differential UV and visible spectroscopy and thermal denaturation were used to study the interaction of Ni2+ ions with adenosine 5′‐monophosphate (AMP), uridine 5′‐monophosphate (UMP), single‐stranded polyadenylic acid (polyA) and polyuridylic (polyU), double‐stranded polyA/polyU (AU) and three‐stranded polyA/2 polyU (A2U). The coil → helix transition observed in polyA, AU and A2U at room temperature is induced by Ni2+ binding to the oxygen atoms of the phosphate groups which belong to the disordered single‐stranded parts of the polynucleotides. Ni2+ ions coordinate with bases only in individual AMP and single‐stranded polyA. This coordination causes disordering of the helical parts of the strands. The disordered single strands form thermally stable compact particles with effective radii of ˜100 Å. Diagrams of the phase equilibrium between single‐, double‐ and three‐stranded conformations as a function of temperature and Ni2+ concentration have been obtained. The melting ranges of A2U and AU differ considerably, mainly due to different enthalpies of their helix–coil transitions. The behaviour of the transition parameters in the presence of Ni2+ ions agrees with the data obtained from the theory of equilibrium binding. The constants of the Ni2+ binding to AU and A2U are found. The effect of Ni2+ ions upon the thermal stability of AU and A2U is connected mainly with their different binding to multi‐stranded helices and polyU. The end of melting of the double‐stranded AU formed due to the A2U → AU + U transition has the character of a second‐order phase transition.  相似文献

The detection of nucleotides is of crucial importance because they are the basic building blocks of nucleic acids. Scorpiand‐based polyamine receptors functionalized with pyridine or anthracene units are able to form stable complexes with nucleotides in water, based on coulombic, π–π stacking, and hydrogen‐bonding interactions. This behavior has been rationalized by means of an exploration with NMR spectroscopy and DFT calculations. Binding constants were determined by potentiometry. Fluorescence spectroscopy studies have revealed the potential of these receptors as sensors to effectively and selectively distinguish guanosine‐5′‐triphosphate (GTP) from adenosine‐5′‐triphosphate (ATP).  相似文献

Photosensitized reactions contribute to the development of skin cancer and are used in many applications. Photosensitizers can act through different mechanisms. It is currently accepted that if the photosensitizer generates singlet molecular oxygen (1O2) upon irradiation, the target molecule can undergo oxidation by this reactive oxygen species and the reaction needs dissolved O2 to proceed, therefore the reaction is classified as 1O2‐mediated oxidation (type II mechanism). However, this assumption is not always correct, and as an example, a study on the degradation of 2′‐deoxyguanosine 5′‐monophosphate photosensitized by pterin is presented. A general mechanism is proposed to explain how the degradation of biological targets, such as nucleotides, photosensitized by pterins, naturally occurring 1O2 photosensitizers, takes place through an electron‐transfer‐initiated process (type I mechanism), whereas the contribution of the 1O2‐mediated oxidation is almost negligible.  相似文献
