Syntheses and biological activities of dipeptide renin inhibitors that contain statine analogues are described. The key steps of the synthetic approach to dipeptide renin inhibitors are the asymmetric synthesis of 2(R)-substituted-3-aminocarbonylpropionic acids and the diastereoselective syntheses of (3S,4S)-statine analogues. These inhibitors (2,14-40) inhibited human renin in the 3-140 nM range. Inhibitor ES 6864 (2) was found to be a highly potent inhibitor of human renin (IC50: 4.6 x 10(-9) M) and showed high enzyme specificity. Oral administration of ES 6864 at 3 mg/kg to conscious, sodium-depleted marmosets inhibited plasma renin activity (PRA) more than 80% after 1 h. 相似文献
Chemical investigation of leaves of Staphylea bumalda DC., collected in the suburbs of Hiroshima City, afforded 11 new megastigmane glucosides, named staphylionosides A-K (3-13), along with two known megastigmane glucosides (1, 2). The relative structures were elucidated from spectroscopic evidence, and the absolute structures of the aglycones were determined by means of the combination of beta-D-glucosylation-induced shift-trends and the modified Mosher's method. 相似文献
From the leaves of Alangium paltanifolium var. platanifolium, collected in Fukuoka Prefecture, twelve further megastigmane glycosides were isolated. Seven of them, named platanionosides D-J (1-7), were found to be new compounds. Their structures were elucidated from spectroscopic evidence and their absolute structures were determined from beta-D-glucosylation-induced shift trends of 13C-NMR and by application of a modified Mosher's method. 相似文献
Metal-polyyne polymers consisting of palladium and conjugated acetylenic systems, where PD and R represent the —Pd(PBu3)2—moiety and alkyl groups, respectively, were prepared by polycondensation between palladium chlorides and α,ω-diethynyl compounds in amines using a catalytic amount of cuprous iodide. The molecular weights of the polymers formed were greatly affected by the basicity of the amines and the addition of free phosphines to the polymerization system. Under the optimum conditions, i.e., in the presence of CuI and PBu3 (in molar ratio 1/4) in piperidine at room temperature, polymer Ia (R1 = R2 = H) having M?w = 29,000 was obtained. 相似文献
Divalent metal salts (I) of monohydroxyethyl phthalate have catalytic activity for polymerization of isocyanate groups. The synthesis of novel metal-containing isocyanurate-type crosslinked polyurethanes were investigated by the crosslinking reaction of I in DMF with diisocyanates or urethane prepolymers, that is, diisocyanate adducts of polyethylene glycol. 2,4-Toluene diisocyanate and diphenylmethane diisocyanate were used as diisocyanates, and DMF was the solvent. The crosslinking reactions were followed by determining the gelation time. Gelation time decreased with increasing temperature. The Ca salt was more effective than the Mg salt in the crosslinking reaction. The yields of resulting metal-containing three-dimensional polymers decreased with increasing metal content in the feed. The Ca salt was more easily introduced into the network polymers than the Mg salt was. Decomposition temperatures decreased on introducing metals into the network polymers. Some physical properties of the metal-containing network polymers are also discussed. 相似文献
A samarium diiodide (SmI(2))-mediated reduction of gamma,gamma-difluoro-alpha,beta-enoates (15, 29, and 34) was successfully applied to the synthesis of (Z)-fluoroalkene dipeptide isosteres (23, 30, and 35), which have served as potential dipeptide mimetics. Reduction of the gamma,gamma-difluoro-alpha,beta-enoates by SmI(2) proceeded via successive two-electron transfers to form dienolate species which upon kinetically controlled trapping with t-BuOH yielded Xaa-Gly-type fluoroalkene isosteres exemplified by 23, 30, and 35. Replacement of the t-BuOH kinetic trapping agent with aldehydes or ketones provided access to alpha-substituted fluoroalkene isosteres (43 and 45) through aldol reactions of Sm-dienolates with the carbonyl compounds. Of particular note, the use of the SmI(2)-HCHO reagent system with chiral enoate 34 provided D-Phe-psi[(Z)-CF[double bond]CH]-D/L-Ser isosteres (45), which could be converted to enantiomerically pure isosteres (49-52) that bore a variety of side chain functionalities at the alpha-position. This was achieved by a sequence of manipulations consisting of beta-lactone formation followed by chromatographic separation and ring-opening with soft nucleophiles. Included in the present work is the first utilization of a Rh-catalyzed Reformatsky reaction of chiral imines for the stereoselective preparation of alpha,alpha-difluoro-beta-amino acid derivatives (28 and 33). The appropriate choice of reagents (carbonyl compounds for kinetic trapping or ring-opening nucleophiles and imines for Reformatsky reactions) allows the presented methodology to yield various fluoroalkene isosteres possessing a wide range of side chain functionalities. 相似文献
A new type of atomic absorption spectrometry using the Zeeman effect of sample materials is proposed. A magnetic field was applied to the sample vapor in the direction perpendicular to the propagation of light emitted from an atomic spectral source. Absorption of radiation polarized perpendicular and parallel to the magnetic field was observed alternatively. The absorption difference was proportional to the true atomic absorption, and was not interfered with by any other molecular absorption and light scattering, i.e., background absorption. The background absorption could be monitored at exactly the same wavelength as an atomic absorption line. Suitable magnetic field strength was found for each line of the various elements. 相似文献
7beta-Carbamoyl-4,5alpha-epoxymorphinans 5 were stereoselectively synthesized from the 7alpha-carboxylate intermediate 3 in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) and amines under reflux conditions in mesitylene via a novel and reactive gamma-lactone 7. These were the first examples of the stereoselective syntheses of 7beta-substituted 4,5alpha-epoxymorphinans. The mechanism of the reaction process was elucidated as follows: 1) epimerization of 7alpha-carboxylate 3, 2) intramolecular lactonization of 7beta-carboxylate 6, and 3) aminolysis of the resultant gamma-lactone 7. The aminolysis of the isolated reactive gamma-lactone 7 with allylamine and the alcoholysis with MeOH in the presence of NaBH(4) proceeded at room temperature. The gamma-lactone 7 can be a useful intermediate for the preparation of 7beta-substituted 4,5alpha-epoxymorphinans that would be potent selective delta opioid receptor ligands. The stereoselective syntheses of the 7alpha-carbamoyl-4,5alpha-epoxymorphinans 9 from 7alpha-carboxylate 3 via 7alpha-carboxylic acid were also successful. 相似文献
The construction of a liquid-membrane type periodate ion-selective electrode and its application to the potentiometric titration of alpha-diols and alpha-amino-alcohols are described. The ion-pair of periodate anion with Capriquat (tri-n-octylmethylammonium chloride), is easily extracted into nitrobenzene, and this extract is employed as a liquid ion-exchange membrane. The calibration curve shows Nernstian response towards periodate ion over the concentration range from 10(-1)M to 10(-7)M with a slope of 60 mV/pIO(-)(4). Selectivity coefficients with respect to various ions were evaluated. The electrode potential was independent of pH in the range 2.5-7.5. Some alpha-diols and monoethanolamine were successfully titrated potentiometrically with the aid of the present electrode. 相似文献
A multielectrode enzyme sensor for the simultaneous determination of adenosine-5′-phosphate (AMP), inosine-5′-phosphate (IMP), inosine (HXR) and hypoxanthine (HX)in fish meat was developed by assembling four enzyme sensors for AMP, IMP, HXR and HX in a flow cell. These compounds were determined from oxygen consumption according to the following reactions: AMP IMP HXR HX Uric acid where AD is AMP deaminase, NT is 5′-nucleotidase, NP is nucleoside phosphorylase and XO is xanthine oxidase. Enzymes were covalently bound to a membrane prepared from cellulose triacetate, 1,8-diamino-4-aminomethyloctane and glutaraldehyde. Sensors for HX, HXR, IMP and AMP were prepared by attaching membranes of XO, XONP, XO NPNT, and of XONPNT and AD, respectively, to four oxygen electrodes. Samples extracted from sea bass, bream, flounder, abalone and arkshell were analyzed within 5 min, from the simultaneous response curves of the four electrodes. Results obtained by the multisensor system were in good agreement with those determined by each single electrode. 相似文献
