Kinetic isotope effects implicate the iron-oxene as the sole oxidant in P450-catalyzed N-dealkylation

Multiple oxidants have been implicated as playing a role in cytochrome P450-mediated oxidations. Herein, we report results on N-dealkylation, one of the most facile reactions mediated by P450 enzymes. We have employed the N-oxides of a series of para-substituted 13C2H2-labeled N,N-dimethylanilines to function as both substrates and surrogate oxygen atom donors for P450cam and P4502E1. Kinetic isotope effect profiles obtained using the N-oxide system were found to closely match the profiles produced using the complete NAD(P)H/NAD(P)-P450 reductase/O2 system. The results are consistent with oxidation occurring solely through an iron-oxene species.

Effect of pressure on the proton transfer rate from a photoacid to a solvent. 4. Photoacids in methanol

The pressure dependence of the excited-state proton dissociation rate constant of four photoacids, 2-naphthol-6,8-disulfonate (2N68DS), 10-hydroxycamptothecin (10-CPT), 5-cyano-2-naphthol (5CN2), and 5,8-dicyano-2-naphthol (DCN2), are studied in methanol. The results are compared with the results of the pressure dependence study we recently conducted for several photoacids in water, ethanol, and propanol. The pressure dependence is explained using an approximate stepwise two-coordinate proton transfer model. The increase in rate, as a function of pressure, manifests a strong dependence of proton tunneling on the distance which decreases with an increase of pressure between the two oxygen atoms involved in the process. The decrease in the proton transfer rate with increasing pressure reflects the dependence of the reaction on the solvent relaxation rate. We found that, for the relatively weak photoacids 2N68DS, 10-CPT, and 5CN2, the proton transfer rate constant increases by a factor of about 5-8 at a pressure of about 1.5 GPa. For a strong photoacid like DCN2, the rate increase was only by a factor of 2.     

Double cyclisation of phenylglycine-o-carboxylic acids—I: New stable mesoionic oxazolones

Remarkably stable mesoionic oxazolones possessing an oxazolo[3,2-a]quinolinium structure (5a–b),8,16, 17) were obtained by the double cyclisation of phenylglycine-o-carboxylic acids (3a–c) in refluxing acetic anhydride or in benzoic anhydride at 140°, The 0-Ac group was eliminated to give the corresponding lactones (6a–b) or replaced by O-Ts (7). IR stretching vibrations of the endo-carbonyl were in the range 1710–1768 cm^?1, while v_1-CH exhibited unusually high values (3159–3194 cm^-1). 1-Acyl derivatives could be obtained only with TFAA (23–24), although easy deuteration of the same position took place in the presence of traces of trifluoroacetic acid. Hydrolysis of 5b led to the α-quinolone-N-acetic acid 27a. In the case of 5a, hydrolysis was accompanied by self-acylation of the nucleophilic site at C-4 with formation of a dimeric acid 28a. The presence of an additional Me group in phenylalanine-o-carboxylic acid (36) activates the corresponding mesoionic oxazolone 37 so that 1-acylation becomes possible with formation of the fused oxazole 38 by the Dakin-West reaction. Temperature dependent magnetic non-equivalence of methylene protons has been observed in acids 3b-d and f and also in the 7-membered anhydride 48b.     

PMR-Spektren einiger Alkoxy-9-chlor-6-nitroacridine

The spectra of some 9-chloro-6-nitroacridines with methoxy substituents in position 1,4; 2,4; 3,4; 2,3; and ethoxy substituents in positions 1, 2, 3, were recorded. The influence of electron releasing alkoxy groups and electron withdrawing nitro groups on chemical shifts of protons in the 9-chloroacridinic cycle was discussed and PMR parameters were determined, comparatively with those of acridine and 9-chloroacridine. Good agreement between calculated and experimental values is observed. The spectrum of 9-chloro-1,2,3-triethoxyacridine shows for the four protons of the ringC. (H-5, H-6, H-7, H-8) anAMNX coupling pattern whose parameters were determined.

High-throughput screening of enzyme libraries: thiolactonases evolved by fluorescence-activated sorting of single cells in emulsion compartments

Single bacterial cells, each expressing a different library variant, were compartmentalized in aqueous droplets of water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions, thus maintaining a linkage between a plasmid-borne gene, the encoded enzyme variant, and the fluorescent product this enzyme may generate. Conversion into a double, water-in-oil-in-water (w/o/w) emulsion enabled the sorting of these compartments by FACS, as well as the isolation of living bacteria cells and their enzyme-coding genes. We demonstrate the directed evolution of new enzyme variants by screening >10(7) serum paraoxonase (PON1) mutants, to yield 100-fold improvements in thiolactonase activity. In vitro compartmentalization (IVC) of single cells, each carrying >10(4) enzyme molecules, in a volume of <10 femtoliter (fl), enabled detection and selection despite the fast, spontaneous hydrolysis of the substrate, the very low initial thiolactonase activity of PON1, and the use of difusable fluorescent products.

Analysis of betamethasone, dexamethasone and related compounds by liquid chromatography/electrospray mass spectrometry

A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (HPLC/ESI-MS) method has been developed to conclusively differentiate the epimers betamethasone and dexamethasone and various esterification products (betamethasone and dexamethasone 21-acetate, betamethasone and dexamethasone 21-phosphate, betamethasone 17-valerate, betamethasone 21-valerate and betamethasone 17,21-dipropionate) in counterfeit drugs. Good separation with baseline resolution of all epimers or isomers was obtained on a Zorbax Eclipse XDB or Luna C8 column, using a step gradient with mobile phases of 0.05 M ammonium acetate and acetonitrile. Betamethasones can also be distinguished by the relative abundance of their m/z 279 ion in the positive electrospray tandem mass spectra. The LC/MS or LC/MS/MS method developed was successfully applied to the analysis of drug product samples, i.e. creams and tablets.
