Gas chromatographic determination of estrone,estradiol and estriol in non-pregnancy plasma

Summary A gas Chromatographic method for the determination of estrone, estradiol and estriol in plasma of normal females is described. Purification is done by means of TLC of the free compounds and the acetates and quantitation is achieved by electron capture-gas chromatography of the estrogen heptafluorobutyrates. Experiments on the validation of the method are described along with some examples of its application.

Acetals of lactams and acid amides. 35. Synthesis of condensed two- and three-ring pyridine systems on the basis of enamino amides

The synthesis of 2,3,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2-c]pyrid-6-one was accomplished by rearrangement of 8H,1-cyano-8-dimethylaminomethylene-2,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrrolo[1, 2-c]pyrimidine. Pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyrimidine, 1,6-naphthyridine, and pyrimido[4,3-b]-azepine derivatives were synthesized on the basis of enamino dinitriles. The hydrolysis of 8H,1-cyano-8-dimethylaminomethylene-2,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-c]-pyrimidine in 50% CH₃COOH leads to a pyrrolo[1,2-c]pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidine derivative. A similar dipyrido[4,3-d-1,2-c]pyrimidine derivative was obtained from 1-cyano-9-dimethylaminomethylene-2,5,6,7,8,9-hexahydropyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine under these conditions, and 3,4-dioxo-3,4,7,8,9,10-hexahydropyrido[1,2-c]pyrano[4,3-d]-pyrimidine was synthesized bytreatment with a 1 N solution of HCl.See [1] for Communication 34.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 518–522, April, 1982.     

Analysis and parametric sensitivity of the behavior of overshoots in the concentration of a charged adsorbate in the adsorbed phase of charged adsorbent particles: practical implications for separations of charged solutes

In this work, an analysis of the parametric sensitivity of the overshoot in the concentration of the adsorbate in the adsorbed phase, which occurs under certain conditions during an ion-exchange adsorption process, is presented and used to suggest practical implications of the concentration overshoot phenomenon on operational policies and configurations of chromatographic columns and finite bath adsorption systems. The results presented in this work demonstrate and explain how the development of an overshoot in the concentration of the adsorbate in the adsorbed phase could be enhanced or suppressed by (i) varying the diffusion coefficient, D3, of the adsorbate relative to the diffusion coefficients, D1 and D2, of the cations and anions, respectively, of the background/buffer electrolyte, (ii) altering the initial surface charge density, delta0, of the charged adsorbent particles, (iii) varying the Debye length, lambda, and (iv) changing the initial concentration, Cd3(0), of the adsorbate in the bulk liquid of the finite bath. The influence of the pH and ionic strength, Iinfinity, of the liquid solution on the development of an overshoot in the concentration of the adsorbate in the adsorbed phase is also presented and discussed through the relationships of these parameters to delta0 and lambda, respectively. Furthermore, a detailed explanation of the effects of each parameter on the interplay between the diffusive and electrophoretic molar fluxes, as well as on the structure and functioning of the electrical double layer, which are responsible for the concentration overshoot phenomenon, is presented.     

Reactions of SH-Substituted Purine Bases with Glycidol

The regioselectivity of S-alkylation of SH-substituted purine bases with glycidol tends to grow with decreasing temperature. A procedure was developed for epoxidation of these compounds in wet liquid ammonia. The products were tested for immunostimulating activity.     

Two types of kinetics of membrane potential of water plant leaves illuminated by ultraviolet light

The effects of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation on plasma membrane of water plant (Elodea canadensis, Vallisneria spiralis) cells were investigated by using microelectrode methods. A fast and reversible depolarization of membrane potential occurs initially during exposure of leaf cells to UV on a white light background, after which a slow phase of depolarization sets in. On action series, UV is pulsed for 15 s, with dark interval of 3 min, no monotonous response of systems on the UV excitation is observed. The action spectrum of the fast UV response lies in the interval of 300-330 nm and that of the slow phase-in the interval of 280-300 nm. The input impedance of membranes remains unchanged during the period of exposure. It is concluded that the H(+)-extruding complex of plant cell plasma membranes really consists of two types of interrelated electronic H(+)-pumps: an H(+)-pump of redox-active nature and the H(+)-pump of the H(+)-ATPase enzyme complex. Clearly, during the exposure of leaf cells to UV light, initially, the H(+)-pump of redox-active nature and then H(+)-ATPase are inhibited. It is proposed that the initial chromophore of UV-B light on plasma membrane can be one of the components of H(+)-pump of redox-active nature. It is probably the molecular of quinone.
