A large amount of stable ecteinascidin 770 (1b) was isolated from the Thai tunicate, Ecteinascidia thurstoni, which was pretreated with potassium cyanide in buffer solution (pH 7), along with a minor metabolite, ecteinascidin 786 (1c). A number of 6'-O-acyl derivatives 3-19 and three diacetyl derivatives 2a-c of the stable 1b were prepared and evaluated for activity against human tumor cell lines HCT116, QG56, and DU145. Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ester derivatives such as 12, 13, and 16-19 showed similar in vitro cytotoxicity to 1b, whereas the other derivatives were less cytotoxic than 1b. Furthermore, we discovered that the N-indole-3-carbonyl derivative of ecteinascidin 770 (22) has higher cytotoxicity than 1b. 相似文献
Give me an “O”! Mononuclear nonheme iron(IV) oxo complexes have been generated using water as an oxygen source and cerium(IV) as an oxidant. The high‐yield oxygenation of organic substrates in this system (see picture, Fe green, O red, N blue, C gray) is catalyzed by iron(II) complexes. The source of oxygen in the iron(IV) oxo complexes and the oxygenated products has been assigned unambiguously by isotopic labeling experiments.
We measured the temperature dependence of 57Fe M?ssbauer spectra obtained after 57Mn implantation into polycrystalline LiH with an extremely low implantation dose. Density functional calculations suggested that the Fe atoms were predominantly implanted into both Li and H substitutional sites of the LiH crystal. 相似文献
A sharp change in the N2 emission channel from N2O(a) → N2(g) + O(a) to N(a) + N(a) → N2(g) has been found at around 500 K in a steady-state NO + D2 reaction over stepped Pd(211) = [(S)3(111) × (100)] by means of angle-resolved desorption. The desorbing N2 is highly collimated at around 30° off normal toward the step-down direction below about 500 K due to the intermediate N2O decomposition, whereas, above 500 K, the near normally directed desorption due to the recombination of N(a) is relatively enhanced. The N2O decomposition channel is promoted when the reaction is carried out with hydrogen (deuterium) and the channel change is accelerated by quick changes of the amounts of surface hydrogen and oxygen (or NO(a)) into the opposite directions, and enhanced nitrogen removal as ammonia on the resultant hydrogen-rich surface. In the steady-state NO + CO reaction, the N2 emission channel gradually changes above 500 K toward recombination. A model for the off-normal N2 emission is briefly described. 相似文献
This paper describes three topics on the π‐conjugated ferrocene oligomers and polymers; the first is the dependence of intervalence‐transfer bands for mixed‐valence oligo(1,1'‐dihexylferrocenylene)s on the oxidation number and the number of ferrocene units, the second is synthesis of azo‐bridged ferrocene oligomers and a polymer and electrochemical and optical analysis of internuclear electronic interactions in their mixed‐valence states and the third is synthesis, redox behaviors and electrodeposition of oligoferrocenylene‐modified gold clusters. 相似文献
Stereospecific ring openings of optically active 2,3-epoxy alcohols were performed by the reaction of 1 , 3 , 5 , and 7 with carbon disulfide and sodium hydride to give the five-membered xanthates 2 , 4 , 6 , and 8 . Both enantiomers of 2-mercapto-1,3-diol triacetates, 11 and 14 , were derived from 4 and 6 , respectively. The ring opening reaction proceeded at −78°C to −30°C, and the yields were around 80%. However, at a higher temperature between 0°C to room temperature, a complicated reaction took place and led to the formation of two isomers of the cyclic thiol carbonates 15 and 16 from 1 or 5 . These processes were also stereospecific, and mechanisms have been proposed. In the case of the 3,4-epoxy alcohol 20 , the epoxide ring opening gave the six-membered xanthate 21 stereospecifically. 相似文献
