Identification of a novel beta-replacement reaction in the biosynthesis of 2,3-diaminobutyric acid in peptidylnucleoside mureidomycin A

2,3-Diaminobutyric acid (DABA) is an unusual di-amino acid component of mureidomycin A, a member of the peptidylnucleoside antibiotic family produced by Streptomyces flavidovirens SANK 60486. Radiochemical assays using cell-free extract from S. flavidovirens revealed that 14C-L-Thr is converted into radiolabelled DABA by an ammonia-dependent beta-replacement activity, and not via oxidation to 3-keto-2-aminobutyric acid. The substrate specificity of partially purified enzyme was assayed using a spectrophotometric assay, and beta-replacement activity was inhibited by known inhibitors of PLP-dependent enzymes. These data imply that DABA is biosynthesised from L-Thr by a PLP-dependent beta-replacement enzyme, using ammonia as a nucleophile. These results are consistent with literature proposals for the biosynthesis of 2,3-diaminopropanoic acid from the viomycin biosynthetic gene cluster.     

改进的方法用于制备键合型纤维素－三（苯基氨基甲酸酯）手性固定相

The classical method for preparation of covalently boned cellulose derivative chiral stationary phases (CSP) with diisocyanate as spacer was improved. Diisocyanate was firstly allowed to react with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, and the resulting product was then applied as the spacer reagent to immobilize cellulose derivatives onto silica gel. Influences of the amount and the length of the spacer on the optical resolution ability of the CSP were investigated. Comparing improved procedure to classical diisocyanate method, the cross-linking between the glucose units of the cellulose derivatives was avoided to the most extent. With the improved procedure, regio-nonselective ways could be adooted to prepare covalently bonded CSP, which showed an advantage for the rapid preparation.

Determination of traces of natural brassinosteroids as dansylaminophenylboronates by liquid chromatography with fluorimetric detection

A microanalytical method for the determination of traces of natural brassinosteroids as their dansylaminophenylboronates by liquid chromatography with fluorimetric detection is described. The boronates are easily prepared by the reaction of brassinosteroids with dansylaminophenylboronic acid (DABA), which was newly synthesized as a precolumn fluorogenic reagent for brassinosteroids. The potential of the method is demonstrated by the separation of a standard brassinosteroid mixture and the analysis of a biologically active fraction sample obtained from an extract of Zea mays L. pollen. The detection limit of the DABA derivative was found to be 25 pg for brassinolide, which is superior to that of the phenanthreneboronate derivative.

The preparation of novel silica modified polyimide membranes: synthesis,characterization, and gas separation properties

In this study, new monomers having siloxane groups were synthesized as an intermediate for preparation of siloxane modified polyimide polymers. Then with these monomers, the synthesis of uncrosslinked and crosslinked polyimide–siloxane hybrid polymer membranes were achieved. The purposes of the preparation of modified polyimides were to modify the thermal and chemical stability, and mechanical strength of polyimides, and to improve the gas separation properties of polymers. The new diamine monomer having siloxane groups was prepared from 3,5‐diaminobenzoic acid (3,5‐DABA) and 3‐aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (3‐APTMS) in N‐methyl‐2‐pyrollidone (NMP) at 180°C. The modified polyimide membranes having different amount of siloxane groups were synthesized from pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA), 4,4‐oxydianiline (ODA), and 3,5‐diaminobenzamido‐N‐propyltrimethoxy silane (DABA/PTMS) in NMP using a two‐step thermal imidization process. The synthesis of modified polyimide membranes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The thermal analysis of the polyimides were carried out by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Water absorption and swelling experiments were also carried out for the investigation of structural properties of polymers. FTIR observations confirmed that the polyimide membranes with new diamine intermediate were successfully obtained. Thermal analysis showed that the uncrosslinked copolyimides exhibited two glass transition temperatures, indicating that they were separated microphases and it was found that all the modified copolyimides had showed higher glass transition temperature (T_g) than unmodified polyimides. The separation properties of the prepared polyimide membranes were also characterized by permeability for O₂ and N₂ gases and ideal selectivity values were calculated.

Use of phosphite amides in the synthesis of polyamides

The preparation of polyamides by the phosphite amide procedure was investigated. The yield of amidation was determined in the reaction of diethyl- or o-phenylenephosphite derivatives of piperidine, piperazine, or trans-2,5-dimethylpiperazine with either mono- or dicarboxylic acids. Higher yields were obtained by using diethyl phosphite derivatives; however, for both types of derivatives the yields were never greater than 90%. Only low molecular weight polymers could be obtained under optimum reaction conditions. In the polycondensation of (+)-trans-1,3-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid or (+)-trans-1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid with phosphite derivatives of either piperazine or trans-2,5-dimethylpiperazine, the optical rotation of the polymers was lower than the rotation of the corresponding polyamides prepared by the interfacial condensation procedure with dicarboxylic acid chlorides. It was shown that an intermediate mixed anhydride was formed during the amidation reaction. This may account for the observed racemization.
