The microbial transformation of (?)‐Ambrox® ( 1 ), a perfumery sesquiterpene, by a number of fungi, by means of standard two‐stage‐fermentation technique, afforded ambrox‐1α‐ol ( 2 ), ambrox‐1α,11α‐diol ( 3 ), ambrox‐1α,6α‐diol ( 4 ), ambrox‐1α,6α,11α‐triol ( 5 ), ambrox‐3‐one ( 6 ), ambrox‐3β‐ol ( 7 ), ambrox‐3β,6β‐diol ( 8 ), 13,14,15,16‐tetranorlabdane‐3,8,12‐triol ( 9 ), and sclareolide ( 10 ) (Schemes 1 and 2). Further incubation of compound 10 with Cunninghamella elegans afforded 3‐oxosclareolide ( 11 ), 3β‐hydroxysclareolide ( 12 ), 2α‐hydroxysclareolide ( 13 ), 2α,3β‐dihydroxysclareolide ( 14 ), 1α,3β‐dihydroxysclareolide ( 15 ), and 3β‐hydroxy‐8‐episclareolide ( 16 ) (Scheme 3). Metabolites 2 – 5, 12, 13 , and 16 were found to be new compounds. The major transformations include a reaction path involving hydroxylation, ether‐bond cleavage and inversion of configuration. Metabolites 11 – 16 of sclareolide showed significant phytotoxicity (Table 1). The structures of the metabolites were characterized on the basis of spectroscopic techniques. 相似文献
Graphene/mono‐(6‐amino‐6‐deoxy)‐β‐cyclodextrin multilayer films composed of graphene sheet (GS) and mono‐(6‐amino‐6‐deoxy)‐β‐cyclodextrin (NH2‐β‐CD) were fabricated easily by two steps. First, negatively charged graphene oxide (GO) and positively charged mono‐(6‐amino‐6‐deoxy)‐β‐cyclodextrin (NH2‐β‐CD) were layer‐by‐layer (LBL) self‐assembled on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with a layer of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA). Then graphene/mono‐(6‐amino‐6‐deoxy)‐β‐cyclodextrin (GS/NH2‐β‐CD) multilayer films were built up by electrochemical reduction of graphene oxide/mono‐(6‐amino‐6‐deoxy)‐β‐cyclodextrin (GO/NH2‐β‐CD). Combining the high surface area of GS and the active recognition sites on β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD), the GS/NH2‐β‐CD multilayer films show excellent electrochemical sensing performance for the detection of DA with an extraordinary broad linear range from 2.53 to 980.05 µmol·L?1. This study offers a simple route to the controllable formation of graphene‐based electrochemical sensor for the detection of DA. 相似文献
A β-(1→)6)-branched β-(1→)3)-linked glucohexaose (1) and its lauryl glycoside (2), present in many biologically active polysaccharides from traditional herbal medicines such as Ganoderma lucidum, Schizophyllum commune and Lentinus edodes, were highly efficiently synthesized. Coupling of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl- (1--)3)-2-O-benzoyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-a-D-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (7) with 3,6-branched acceptors 8 and 12 gave β-(1→)3)-linked pentasaccharides (9) and (13), then via simple chemical transformation 4',6'-OH pentasaccharide acceptors 10 and 14 were obtained. Regio- and stereoselective coupling of 3 with 10 and 14 gave β-(1→)3)-linked hexasaccharides (11) and (15) as the major products. Deprotection of 11 and 15 provided the target sugar 1 and 2. Thus, a new method for the preparation of this kind of compounds was developed. 相似文献
Summary: β‐Cyclodextrin (β‐CD) pseudopolyrotaxanes containing poly(thiophene‐2,5‐diyl), PTh , or poly(3‐methylthiophene‐2,5‐diyl)s, P3MeTh s, as an axle were prepared. Structures of the pseudopolyrotaxanes and their inclusion behavior with β‐CD were investigated. The UV‐vis measurements revealed that inclusion of P3MeTh s by β‐CD depended on the flexibility of the main chain and their molecular weight.

Four new 9,10‐secocycloartane (=9,19‐cyclo‐9,10‐secolanostane) triterpenoidal saponins, named huangqiyenins G–J ( 1 – 4 , resp.), were isolated from Astragalus membranaceus Bunge leaves. The acid hydrolysis of 1 – 4 with 1M aqueous HCl yielded D ‐glucose, which was identified by GC analysis after treatment with L ‐cysteine methyl ester hydrochloride. The structures of 1 – 4 were established by detailed spectroscopic analysis as (3β,6α,10α,16β,24E)‐3,6‐bis(acetyloxy)‐10,16‐dihydroxy‐12‐oxo‐9,19‐cyclo‐9,10‐secolanosta‐9(11),24‐dien‐26‐yl β‐D ‐glucopyranoside ( 1 ), (3β,6a,10α,24E)‐3,6‐bis(acetyloxy)‐10‐hydroxy‐12,16‐dioxo‐9,19‐cyclo‐9,10‐secolanosta‐9(11),24‐dien‐26‐yl β‐D ‐glucopyranoside ( 2 ), (3β,6α,9α,10α,16β,24E)‐3,6‐bis(acetyloxy)‐9,10,16‐trihydroxy‐9,19‐cyclo‐9,10‐secolanosta‐11,24‐dien‐26‐yl β‐D ‐glucopyranoside ( 3 ), and (3β,6α,10α,24E)‐3,6‐bis(acetyloxy)‐10‐hydroxy‐16‐oxo‐9,19‐cyclo‐9,10‐secolanosta‐9(11),24‐dien‐26‐yl β‐D ‐glucopyranoside ( 4 ). 相似文献
The design and synthesis of β‐peptides from new C‐linked carbo‐β‐amino acids (β‐Caa) presented here, provides an opportunity to understand the impact of carbohydrate side chains on the formation and stability of helical structures. The β‐amino acids, Boc‐(S)‐β‐Caa(g)‐OMe 1 and Boc‐(R)‐β‐Caa(g)‐OMe 2 , having a D ‐galactopyranoside side chain were prepared from D ‐galactose. Similarly, the homo C‐linked carbo‐β‐amino acids (β‐hCaa); Boc‐(S)‐β‐hCaa(x)‐OMe 3 and Boc‐(R)‐β‐hCaa(x)‐OMe 4 , were prepared from D ‐glucose. The peptides derived from the above monomers were investigated by NMR, CD, and MD studies. The β‐peptides, especially the shorter ones obtained from the epimeric (at the amine stereocenter Cβ) 1 and 2 by the concept of alternating chirality, showed a much smaller propensity to form 10/12‐helices. This substantial destabilization of the helix could be attributed to the bulkier D ‐galactopyranoside side chain. Our efforts to prepare peptides with alternating 3 and 4 were unsuccessful. However, the β‐peptides derived from alternating geometrically heterochiral (at Cβ) 4 and Boc‐(R)‐β‐Caa(x)‐OMe 5 (D ‐xylose side chain) display robust right‐handed 10/12‐helices, while the mixed peptides with alternating 4 and Boc‐β‐hGly‐OMe 6 (β‐homoglycine), resulted in left‐handed β‐helices. These observations show a distinct influence of the side chains on helix formation as well as their stability. 相似文献
The incorporation of the β‐amino acid residues into specific positions in the strands and β‐turn segments of peptide hairpins is being systematically explored. The presence of an additional torsion variable about the C(α) C(β) bond (θ) enhances the conformational repertoire in β‐residues. The conformational analysis of three designed peptide hairpins composed of α/β‐hybrid segments is described: Boc‐Leu‐Val‐Val‐DPro‐β Phe ‐Leu‐Val‐Val‐OMe ( 1 ), Boc‐Leu‐Val‐β Val ‐DPro‐Gly‐β Leu ‐Val‐Val‐OMe ( 2 ), and Boc‐Leu‐Val‐β Phe ‐Val‐DPro‐Gly‐Leu‐β Phe ‐Val‐Val‐OMe ( 3 ). 500‐MHz 1H‐NMR Analysis supports a preponderance of β‐hairpin conformation in solution for all three peptides, with critical cross‐strand NOEs providing evidence for the proposed structures. The crystal structure of peptide 2 reveals a β‐hairpin conformation with two β‐residues occupying facing, non‐H‐bonded positions in antiparallel β‐strands. Notably, βVal(3) adopts a gauche conformation about the C(α) C(β) bond (θ=+65°) without disturbing cross‐strand H‐bonding. The crystal structure of 2 , together with previously published crystal structures of peptides 3 and Boc‐β Phe ‐β Phe ‐DPro‐Gly‐β Phe ‐β Phe ‐OMe, provide an opportunity to visualize the packing of peptide sheets with local ‘polar segments' formed as a consequence of reversal peptide‐bond orientation. The available structural evidence for hairpins suggests that β‐residues can be accommodated into nucleating turn segments and into both the H‐bonding and non‐H‐bonding positions on the strands. 相似文献
The hydrolysis reactions of N-(O,O'diisopropyl)phosphoryl-L-α-alanine (DIPP-L-α-Ala), N-(O,O'diisopropyl)- phosphoryl-D-α-alanine (DIPP-D-α-Ala), N-(O,O'-diisopropyl)phosphoryl-β-alanine (DIPP-β-Ala) and N-(O,O'-diisopropyl)phosphoryl-γ-amino butyric acid (DIPP-γ-Aba), were studied by HPLC and their hydrolysis reaction kinetic equations were obtained. Under acid conditions, the reaction rate of DIPP-L-α-Ala was close to that of DIPP-D-α-Ala and the same rule was true between DIPP-β-Ala and DIPP-γ-Aba. Meantime, the reaction rate of DIPP-L/D-α-Ala was as 10 times as that of DIPP-β-Ala or DIPP-γ-Aba. Under basic conditions, the hydrolysis reactions of DIPP-β-Ala and DIPP-γ-Aba almost did not take place and the reaction rate of DIPP-L/D-α-Ala was about 1/10 of that under acid conditions. Moreover, theoretical calculation further illuminated the differences of the hydrolysis rate from the view of energy. The results would provide some helpful clues to why nature chose a-amino acids but not other kinds of analogs as protein backbones. 相似文献
Catalytic base‐induced decarboxylation of polyunsaturated α‐cyano‐β‐methyl acids derived from malonic acid led to the corresponding nitriles 3 (Schemes 2 and 3), 6 (Scheme 5), and 9 (Scheme 6). This decarboxylation occurred with previous deconjugation of the α,β‐alkene moiety of the α‐cyano‐β‐methyl acid, leading to an α‐cyano‐β‐methylene propanoic acid which was easily decarboxylated (see Scheme 2). β‐Methylene intermediates, in some cases, could be isolated; mechanistic pathways are proposed. The nitriles 3, 6 , and 9 were reduced to the sesquiterpene aldehydes 4 (β‐end group), 7 (φ‐end group), and 10 (ψ‐end group), respectively. 相似文献
The known solid‐state structure (Fig. 1, top) of cyclo(β‐HAla)4 was used to model the structure of the title compound 1 as a prospective somatostatin mimic (Fig. 1, bottom). The synthesis started with the N‐protected natural amino acids Boc‐Phe‐OH, Boc‐Trp‐OH, Boc‐Lys(2‐Cl‐Z)‐OH, and Boc‐Thr(OBn)‐OH, which were homologated to the corresponding β‐amino‐acid derivatives (Scheme 1) and coupled to the β‐tetrapeptide Boc‐β‐HTrp‐β‐HPhe‐β‐HThr(OBn)‐β‐HLys(2‐Cl‐Z)‐OMe ( 16 ); the (N‐Me)‐β‐HThr‐(N‐Me)‐β‐HPhe analog 17 was also prepared. C‐ and N‐terminal deprotection and cyclization through the pentafluorophenyl ester gave the insoluble β‐tetrapeptide with protected Thr and Lys side chains ( 18 ). Solubilization and debenzylation could only be effected in LiCl‐containing THF (ca. 10% yield; with ca. 55% recovery). HPLC Purification provided a sample of the title compound 1 , the structure of which, as determined by NMR‐spectroscopy (Fig. 2, left) was drastically different from the `theoretical' model (Fig. 1). There is a transannular H‐bond dividing the macrocyclic 16‐membered ring, thus forming a ten‐ and a twelve‐membered H‐bonded ring, the former mimicking, or actually being superimposable on, an α‐peptidic so‐called β‐turn. Still, the four side chains occupy equatorial positions on the ring, as planned, albeit with somewhat different geometry as compared to the `original'. The cyclo‐β‐tetrapeptide has micromolar affinities to the human somatostatin receptors (hsst 1 – 5). Thus, we have demonstrated for the first time that it is possible to mimic a natural peptide hormone with a small β‐peptide. Furthermore, we have discovered a simple way to construct the ubiquitous β‐turn motif with β‐peptides (which are known to be stable to mammalian peptidases). 相似文献
N‐Methyl β‐amino acids are generally required for application in the synthesis of potentially bioactive modified peptides and other oligomers. Previous work highlighted the reductive cleavage of 1,3‐oxazolidin‐5‐ones to synthesise N‐methyl α‐amino acids. Starting from α‐amino acids, two approaches were used to prepare the corresponding N‐methyl β‐amino acids. First, α‐amino acids were converted to N‐methyl α‐amino acids by the so‐called ‘1,3‐oxazolidin‐5‐one strategy’, and these were then homologated by the Arndt–Eistert procedure to afford N‐protected N‐methyl β‐amino acids derived from the 20 common α‐amino acids. These compounds were prepared in yields of 23–57% (relative to N‐methyl α‐amino acid). In a second approach, twelve N‐protected α‐amino acids could be directly homologated by the Arndt–Eistert procedure, and the resulting β‐amino acids were converted to the 1,3‐oxazinan‐6‐ones in 30–45% yield. Finally, reductive cleavage afforded the desired N‐methyl β‐amino acids in 41–63% yield. One sterically congested β‐amino acid, 3‐methyl‐3‐aminobutanoic acid, did give a high yield (95%) of the 1,3‐oxazinan‐6‐one ( 65 ), and subsequent reductive cleavage gave the corresponding AIBN‐derived N‐methyl β‐amino acid 61 in 71% yield (Scheme 2). Thus, our protocols allow the ready preparation of all N‐methyl β‐amino acids derived from the 20 proteinogenic α‐amino acids. 相似文献
Two desmotropes, 3‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazole ( 1a ) and 5‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazole ( 1b ) have been isolated and the conditions for their interconversion established. The X‐ray structure of 1b has been determined (a=10.862(1), b=5.7620(5), c=12.927(2) Å, β=111.435(2)°, space group P21/c), and both tautomers 1a and 1b were characterized by NMR in the solid state (13C‐ and 15N‐CPMAS). In the case of 3‐phenyl‐1H‐indazole ( 2a ), two concomitant polymorphs have been analyzed by X‐ray crystallography, and their NMR spectral properties were determined. The low‐melting‐point polymorph, at 106.7°, contains three molecules in the asymmetric unit (a=41.086(1), b=7.3860(2), c=23.391(1) Å, β=117.697(1)°, space group C2/c) and the high‐melting‐point one, 115.3°, six molecules (a=13.7818(4), b=13.7976(5), c=18.9445(5) Å, α=94.300(3), β=95.131(3), γ=119.428(3)°, space group P‐1). Here, too, it has been experimentally determined how to transform one form into the other. Density‐functional‐theory calculations at the B3LYP/6‐31G** level have been performed in both examples to rationalize the stability of the different tautomers. 相似文献
Fmoc‐protected β‐aminoethane sulfonylchlorides can be employed for efficient automated solid phase synthesis of β‐peptidosulfonamides and β‐peptidosulfonamide/β‐peptide hybrids containing one or more β‐peptidosulfonamide residues. Thus, Fmoc‐protected β‐aminoethane sulfonylchlorides 5a – c led to the hexa‐β‐peptidosulfonamide 9 and the nona‐β‐peptidosulfonamide 10 . In addition, the β‐peptidosulfonamide/β‐peptide hybrids 13 and 16 , consisting of six and nine β‐residues, respectively, and containing a single β‐peptidosulfonamide unit in the middle, as well as the peptidosulfonamide/β‐peptide hybrid 15 with nine β‐residues, including an N‐terminal β‐peptidosulfonamide residue, were synthesized by automated solid‐phase synthesis. Both CD and NMR spectroscopic measurements did not indicate any helical secondary structure for 9 and 10 . As was shown by CD‐measurements, the β‐peptidosulfonamide residue in the hybrids 13, 15 , and 16 acts as a ‘helix breaker', especially when located in the middle of the hybrid chain ( 13 and 16 ), but, although to a lesser extent, also at the N‐terminus. 相似文献
Addition reactions of acid chlorides with various 2‐substituted 4,5‐dihydro‐4,4‐dimethyl‐5‐(methylsulfanyl)‐1,3‐thiazoles under basic conditions were studied. Two kinds of products were obtained from these additions, β‐lactams and non‐β‐lactam adducts. When the reaction was carried out with 4,5‐dihydro‐1,3‐thiazoles with a Ph substituent at C(2), the reaction proceeded via formal [2+2] cycloaddition and led to the correspoding β‐lactam. On the other hand, acid chlorides and 4,5‐dihydro‐1,3‐thiazoles bearing an α‐H‐atom at the C(2)‐substituent underwent C(α)‐ and/or N‐addition reactions and furnished non‐β‐lactam adducts, i.e., C(α)‐ and/or N‐acylated 1,3‐thiazolidines. The attempted transformations of sulfonyl esters of exo‐6‐hydroxy penams to endo‐6‐azido penams failed, although they were successful with mono‐β‐lactams under the same conditions. 相似文献

Two new lanostane‐type nonsulfated pentasaccharide triterpene glycosides, 17‐dehydroxyholothurinoside A ( 1 ) and griseaside A ( 2 ), were isolated from the sea cucumber Holothuria grisea. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including 2D‐NMR and MS experiments, as well as chemical evidence. Compounds 1 and 2 possess the same pentasaccharide moieties but differ slightly in their side chains of the holostane‐type triterpene aglycone. The structures of the two new glycosides were established as (3β,12α)‐22,25‐epoxy‐3‐{(O‐β‐D ‐glucopyranosyl‐(1→4)‐O‐[O‐3‐O‐methyl‐β‐D ‐glucopyranosyl‐(1→3)‐O‐β‐D ‐glucopyranosyl‐(1→4)‐6‐deoxy‐β‐D ‐glucopyranosyl‐(1→2)]‐β‐D ‐xylopyranosyl)oxy}‐12,20‐dihydroxylanost‐9(11)‐en‐18‐oic acid γ‐lactone ( 1 ) and (3β,12α)‐3‐{(O‐β‐D ‐glucopyranosyl‐(1→4)‐O‐[O‐3‐O‐methyl‐β‐D ‐glucopyranosyl‐(1→3)‐O‐β‐D ‐glucopyranosyl‐(1→4)‐6‐deoxy‐β‐D ‐glucopyranosyl‐(1→2)]‐β‐D ‐xylopyranosyl)oxy}‐12,20,22‐trihydroxylanost‐9(11)‐en‐18‐oic acid γ‐lactone ( 2 ).
