Improved method for the determination of trimethadione and its demethylated metabolite, dimethadione, in human serum by gas chromatography.

An improved gas chromatographic method, involving the use of a wide-bore capillary column, for the determination of trimethadione and its only demethylated metabolite, dimethadione, in human serum is described. The results indicate that both substances and the internal standard (maleinimide) were well separated with no tailing peak. The detection limit was 10 ng/ml for trimethadione and 50 ng/ml for dimethadione. This improved method is reliable in terms of sensitivity, selectivity and reproducibility for the simultaneous determination of both compounds in human serum.     

Effects of metal elements on beta-hexosaminidase release from rat basophilic leukemia cells (RBL-2H3).

Immediate allergy is caused by a chemical mediator released from basophile and mast cells via cell degranulation due to reaction between an immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody, bound with the IgE receptor on the cell membrane, and an antigen. The present authors have established a new method for assaying the enzyme activity of beta-hexosaminidase as an index of chemical mediator release. Using cultured cells instead of conventional methods based on histamine release from mast cells, the present method permits highly accurate mass screening since it uses a well-established cell line of rat basophilic leukemia cells (RBL-2H3). The effects of metal elements on immediate allergic reaction were evaluated using a newly developed assay system. A total of 38 metal elements were investigated for effects on immediate allergic reactions in vitro. These elements were classified by five types on the basis of action on beta-hexosanimidase release: 1) those which showed very strong inhibitory action, such as ZnCl2 and ZrCl4, 2) those which showed relatively strong inhibitory action, such as CdCl2 and CuCl2, 3) those which showed relatively weak inhibitory action, such as CoCl2 and Pb(NO3)2, 4) those which showed neither inhibitory nor promoting action, such as MnCl2 and SrCl2, and 5) AgNO3, which alone showed promoting action.     

Grinding-induced equimolar complex formation between thiourea and ethenzamide

We prepared and characterized a grinding-induced equimolar complex of thiourea with ethenzamide. When thiourea and ethenzamide were co-ground at a molar ratio of 3 : 1, new powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) peaks were observed in addition to PXRD peaks of thiourea crystals. The optimum stoichiometry of the new structure was confirmed as 1 : 1 mol/mol. Effect of grinding time on the thiourea-ethenzamide equimolar complex formation was investigated by using PXRD, differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The equimolar crystal structure was confirmed by X-ray diffraction measurements of the single crystal which was recrystallized from ethanol. It was found that the intermolecular hydrogen bond formations between thiourea and ethenzamide molecules contributed to the equimolar complex formation. The complex formation was not observed in the cases where benzamide, salicylamide or 3-ethoxybenzamide was co-ground with thiourea. 2-Alcoxyl benzamide structures should be required for the grinding-induced equimolar complex formation with thiourea.     

High n-value phases in the complex bismuth oxides with layered structure,Bi2CaNan−2NbnO3n+3

Complex bismuth oxides with layered structure are prepared with a series of compositions in the system Bi₂CaNb₂O₉-NaNbO₃. It is found by X-ray powder diffraction that each compound is composed of more than two phases, which are described by a formula Bi₂CaNa_n?2Nb_nO_3n+3, e.g., in the sample with the nominal composition Bi₂CaNb₂O₉ · 8NaNbO₃, the phases with n = 6 to 8 appear predominantly. These phases are closely intergrown to each other. Moreover, high-resolution electron microscopy reveals that microsyntactic intergrowth frequently occurs in the phases with n > 5. The occurrence of the latter intergrowth is explained in terms of the bond length obtained.     

Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric cyclization of methyl (E)-oxo-9-phenoxy-7-nonenoate and its analogs

Asymmetric cyclizations of methyl (E)-3-oxo-9-phenoxy-7-nonenoate ($\text{1}$) or methyl (E)-3-oxo-9-(methoxycarbonyl)oxy-7-nonenoate ($\text{4}$) without added base were carried out in the presence of a catalytic amount of palladium(II) acetate and chiral diphosphine as ligands. Allylic carbonate $\text{4}$ reacted by use of Pd(OAC)₂-(S)-(R)-BPPFA at room temperature to give (R)-3-vinylcyclohexanone ($\text{3}$), after decarboxylation, in up to 48% e. e.     

Ionic conductivity of superionic conducting glasses in the pseudobinary system AgIAg2MoO4

The ionic conductivity was measured in the temperature range 250–300 K as a function of composition of superionic conducting glasses in the pseudobinary system AgIAg₂MoO₄. The conductivity, ranging from 10^?2 to 10^?4 Ω^?1 cm^?1 at room temperature, increases linearly in logarithmic scale with increasing AgI content, while the total silver ion concentration remains nearly constant in the whole glass-forming region of the present system. Such a composition dependence of conductivity is considered to be evidence that only a fraction of the silver ions in glass contributes to the ionic conduction. The conductivity and the activation energy for conduction differ slightly between bulk glasses and pressed pellets of pulverized glasses. The close agreement in bulk glasses and pellets suggests that bulk rather than grain boundary or surface diffusion dominates the conduction process in the present glasses.     

CO2 laser Stark spectroscopy of the Coriolis-coupled ν2 and ν5 bands of CD3Br

The ν₂ (CD₃ symmetrical deformation) and ν₅ (CD₃ degenerate deformation) fundamental bands of CD₃Br were studied by 9.4- and 10.4-μm CO₂ laser Stark spectroscopy. Stark resonances originating from 28 and 53 rovibrational transitions of the ν₂ and ν₅ bands, respectively, were assigned for each of the isotopic species, CD₃⁷⁹Br and CD₃⁸¹Br. These two bands were simultaneously analyzed with explicit inclusion of the ν₂-ν₅ Coriolis interaction, yielding precise molecular constants in the ν₂ and ν₅ excited states as well as the Coriolis coupling constant. The molecular constants obtained are consistent between the two isotopic species and are in good agreement with the results of high-resolution infrared studies. The band origins and dipole moments are

DNA topology on an increase in positive writhing number of DNA: conformation changes in the time course of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II)-DNA adducts     

Kobayashi S  Nakamura Y  Maehara T  Hamashima H  Sasatsu M  Asano K  Ohishi Y  Tanaka A 《Chemical & pharmaceutical bulletin》2001,49(9):1053-1060

We show that the topological significance of the gel mobility of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (DDP)-closed circular DNA (ccDNA) adducts decreases with reaction time, until a point at which it joins relaxed DNA, and that the mobility of the adducts increases again. There is no relationship between the relative length of the adducts and the gel mobility. Although the significance of the decrease of gel mobility is due to the unwinding of cis-DDP-DNA (or trans-DDP-DNA) adducts, the conformational significance of the subsequent increase in mobility is unclear. To elucidate the conformational significance for unwinding of the adducts, we measured the writhing number (Wk) of the adducts using electron microscopy and analyzed the topological states of cis-DDP (or trans-DDP) adducts based on the White rule, Lk=Wk+Tk. Where, Lk and Tk represent the linking and twisting number in the ring, respectively. From the data, we found that the Wk of cis-DDP-ccDNA adducts in comparison with trans-DDP-ccDNA adducts increases from a negative to a positive number with time. This suggests that cis-DDP plays a role in the change of the topological state of ccDNA. In the abstraction of platinum from the adducts with CN- ion, the differences in both topological states may explain why Pt in trans-DDP is abstracted more easily than in cis-DDP. To explain the abstraction of Pt ion, we also discuss the findings based on the thermodynamic cycle in a intermolecular crosslink model Pt(NH3)2(guanine)2(2+)-->Pt(CN)4(2-) using the Pt parametrized PM3 method.

Polyoxymethylene prepared by γ-ray-induced polymerization of tetraoxymethylene single crystal     

A. Tanaka  S. Uemura  Y. Ishida 《Colloid and polymer science》1971,243(1):3-6

Summary In order to prepare a large single crystal, tetraoxymethylene recrystallized by distilled water adjusted to pH 8 was sealed in an ampoule at a reduced pressure of 1 mm Hg and was crystallized in a furnace with the temperature gradient of 6 °C/cm. The lowering rate of the ampoule was required to be 6 cm/day for preparing the single crystal with 1 cm diameter and to be 3 cm/day for one with 2 cm diameter. The optimum angle at the pointing end of the ampoule, where a seed crystal is formed, was about 40°. The b-axis of the obtained single crystal was parallel to the direction of the crystal growth i. e. the wall of the ampoule. It was polymerized byγ-ray under conditions which prevent the growth of the twin crystal. The obtained polyoxymethylene was porous, because the polymerization yield of 100% could not be attained. However, it was so tough that a specimen for measurements could be cut down by a diamond cutter. Its fiber axis was parallel to the direction of the wall of the ampoule. It did not contain the so-called amorphous regions, although it did contain defects. It was characterized with the extremely high orientation of the polymer chains.
