Chemiluminescence-HPLC for the assay of guanidino compounds

A chemiluminescence-HPLC system for the assay of serum guanidino compounds was established. In this study, we found that lucigenin added to the reaction mixture containing guanidino compounds and alkaline-ninhydrin reagent resulted in strong chemiluminescence. The lucigenin chemiluminescence was not derived from fluorescent derivatives of guanidino compounds or ninhydrin. The interaction of guanidino compounds and ninhydrin under alkaline conditions produced reactive oxygen species. We applied this phenomenon to the microanalysis of guanidino compounds.     

High-performance liquid chromatographic measurement of guanidino compounds of clinical importance in human urine and serum by pre-column fluorescence derivatization using benzoin

High-performance liquid chromatographic microanalyses for guanidino compounds in human physiological fluids have been accomplished by means of a pre-column fluorescence derivatization method using benzoin. The guanidino compounds in urine or deproteinized serum after ultrafiltration are converted to the fluorescent derivatives with benzoin in an alkaline medium, and the derivatives are separated simultaneously within 25 min on a reversed-phase column (mu Bondapak Phenyl) with a linear gradient elution of methanol in aqueous mobile phase (pH 8.5). The method permits the quantitative determination of guanidinosuccinic acid, methylguanidine, taurocyamine and guanidinobutyric acid at concentrations of as low as 8-78 pmol/ml in human urine and serum.     

Vilsmeier-Haack reagent: An efficient reagent for the transformation of substituted 1,3-naphthoxazines into xanthene-type dyes

Derivatives of 1,3-naphthoxazines containing from five to seven-membered spiro ring – under Vilsmeier–Haack reaction conditions are rearranged into novel xanthene-type compounds.

It was found that compounds containing five-membered annulated aliphatic rings in methanol solution have the best spectral characteristics. These compounds have moderate quantum yields of 28.36–28.94%, and extra large Stokes shifts 106 and 115?nm.

Photodegradation of 2-chloro substituted phenothiazines in alcohols

The mechanisms that trigger the phototoxic response to 2-chlorophenothiazine derivatives are still unknown. To better understand the relationship between the molecular structure of halogenated phenothiazines and their phototoxic activity, their photophysics and photochemistry were studied in several alcohols. The photodestruction quantum yields were determined under anaerobic conditions using monochromatic light (313 nm). Absorption- and emission-spectroscopy, ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR and GC-MS were used to characterize the photoproducts and reference compounds. An electron transfer mechanism had been previously proposed by Bunce et al . ( J. Med. Chem . 22 , 202–204) to explain the large difference between the photodestruction quantum yield of 2-chlorpromazine (φ = 0.46) and 2-chlorphenothiazine (φ = 0.20). According to these authors, the alkylamino chain transfers an electron to the phenothiazine moiety. Our results demonstrate that this mechanism is incorrect, because the photodestruction quantum yields of all chlorinated derivatives of this study are the same under the same conditions of solvent and irradiation wavelength. The quantum yield has no dependence on the 10-substituent, but it depends on the solvent. The percentage of each photoproduct, on the other hand, strongly depends on that substituent, but not very much on the solvent. Finally, it is demonstrated that the phototoxic effect of chlorinated phenothiazines is not related to the photodechlorination, although both processes share the same transient.     

Ion-exchange chromatographic separation and fluorometric detection of guanidino compounds in physiologic fluids.

A high-performance liquid chromatographic procedure has been developed for the separation and fluorometric detection of guanidino compounds in physiologic fluids. All guanidino compounds were separated on a 17 X 0.46 cm cation-exchange column using a stepwise pH gradient.

This new analytical method is so sensitive that it enables the analysis at the picomole level. Our automatic guanidino-compound analyzer was successfully applied to the quantitative determination of all guanidino compounds in physiologic fluids from normal controls and uremic patients.

Willgerodt-Kindler reaction at room temperature: Synthesis of thioamides from aromatic aldehydes and cyclic secondary amines

A simple method for the synthesis of thioamide derivatives in DMSO at room temperature and at 120 °C has been developed. Total 27 compounds were prepared under both conditions via a one-pot, three component reaction between substituted aromatic aldehydes, elemental sulfur powder, and cyclic secondary amines. By optimizing the mole ratio of sulfur powder and amines, we have successfully carried out Willgerodt-Kindler reaction of aromatic aldehydes at room temperature. At 120 °C, it is catalyst free reaction with lower reaction time whereas at room temperature, due to the additional amine molecule, Willgerodt-Kindler reaction of aromatic aldehydes is successfully carried out at room temperature. On gram-scale, the reaction is successfully attempted under both conditions with good yields.
