Peptide backbone folding induced by the C(alpha)-tetrasubstituted cyclic alpha-amino acids 4-amino-1,2-dithiolane-4-carboxylic acid (Adt) and 1-aminocyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid (Ac5c). A joint computational and experimental study

The conformational study of a new group of synthetic peptides containing 4-amino-1,2-dithiolane-4-carboxylic acid (Adt), a cysteine-related achiral residue, has been carried out through a joint application of computational and experimental methodologies. Molecular Dynamics simulations clearly suggest the tendency of this molecule to adopt a gamma-turn conformation in vacuum and help in analyzing the complex and crucial conformational behaviour of the dithiolane ring which appears to preferentially adopt a C(S)-like structure. Electronic structure calculations carried out in solution using the Density Functional Theory also indicate the preservation of the gamma-like folding in apolar solvents and the helix-like one in more polar solvents. A comparison with the achiral 1-aminocycloalkane-1-carboxylic acid (Ac5c) has been carried out using the same computational tools. NMR and IR data on dipeptide derivatives containing the Adt or Ac5c residue show that in chloroform solution all the models prefer a gamma-turn structure, centered at the cyclic residue, stabilized by an intramolecular H-bond, whereas in a more polar solvent, i.e. dimethyl sulfoxide, this folding is not maintained. The experimental conformational studies, extended to N-Boc protected tripeptides, clearly indicate the remarkable tendency of both the five-membered C(alpha)-tetrasubstituted cyclic amino acids Adt and Ac5c to induce the gamma-turn structure also in models able to adopt the beta-bend conformation.     

Synthesis of imidazo[1,2-c] quinazoline and some of its methyl derivatives

The synthesis of imidazo [1,2-c] quinazoline was effected by manganese dioxide oxidation of the 5,6-dihydroimidazo [1,2-c] quinazoline which was prepared by treatment of 2-(o-nitro-phenyl)-1-hydroxyimidazole-3-oxide with zinc powder and formic acid. The synthesis of some methyl derivatives of this ring system are also described. Structural assignments for all of the products were made from spectral data.     

Association of bound states of the coulomb potential with resonances of the coulomb potential perturbed by a barrier

In the present article we show how the bound states of the Coulomb potential may be associated with resonances that occur when this potential is perturbed by a barrier potential. The main idea is to trace the bound states on successive switching on of the barrier perturbation. It is found that those bound states that are localized inside the barrier are highly sensitive to variation with respect to the barrier height, whereas those that are localized outside are less sensitive. However, there are certain intervals for the barrier height when the role of being “a state localized inside the barrier” is shifted from one bound state to another. The result can be pictured as a “relay race,” where the “deliveries of the baton” are carried out over corresponding avoided crossings. The baton is ultimately handed over to a shape-type resonance state.

Toluene-3,4-dithiole and related 1,2-dithiolenes as chelating agents for metals

The behaviour of various metal-dithiolene complexes is studied. The photometric determination, a sensitive qualitative identification in three modes of execution, the extraction behaviour of antimony and aTLC-separation of Sb–Sn–Bi–Pb with 2-toluene-3,4-dithiol are described. Attempts to clarify the antimony-dithiol compounds have yielded two formulas. Further analytical applications of these compounds are discussed.

Selective crystallization of calcium salts by poly(acrylate)-grafted chitosan

The biopolymer chitosan was chemically modified by grafting polyacrylamide or polyacrylic acid in a homogeneous aqueous phase using potassium persulfate (KPS) as redox initiator system in the presence of N,N-methylene-bis-acrylamide as a crosslinking agent. The influence of the grafted chitosan on calcium salts crystallization in vitro was studied using the sitting-drop method. By using polyacrylamide grafted chitosan as substrate, rosette-like CaSO4 crystals were observed. This was originated by the presence of sulfate coming from the initiator KPS. By comparing crystallization on pure chitosan and on grafted chitosan, a dramatic influence of the grafted polymer on the crystalline habit of both salts was observed. Substrates prepared by combining sulfate with chitosan or sulfate with polyacrylamide did not produce similar CaSO4 morphologies. Moreover, small spheres or donut-shaped CaCO3 crystals on polyacrylic acid grafted chitosan were generated. The particular morphology of CaCO3 crystals depends also on other synthetic parameters such as the molecular weight of the chitosan sample and the KPS concentration.     

Enhancing selectivity in oxidation catalysis with sol-gel nanocomposites

Mass spectrometric analysis of androstan-17β-ol-3-one and androstadiene-17β-ol-3-one isomers

Mass spectrometric identification and characterization of steroids using electrospray ionization and tandem mass spectrometry has advantages in drug testing and doping control analysis attributable to limitations of gas chromatography followed by electron ionization mass spectrometry. Steroids with an androstadiene-17beta-ol-3-one nucleus and double bonds located either at C-1 and C-4, C-4 and C-9, or C-4 and C-6 were used to determine characteristic fragmentation pathways. Diagnostic dissociation routes are proposed using deuterium labeling, MS3 experiments, and analyses of structurally closely related compounds. Steroids such as boldenone (androst-1,4-diene-17beta-ol-3-one) produced characteristic product ions at m/z 121, 135, and 147. Compounds with double bonds at C-4 and C-9 generated abundant product ions at m/z 145 and 147. Conjugated double bonds at C-4 and C-6 gave rise to an intense and characteristic signal at m/z 133. Stereochemical differentiation between 5alpha- and 5beta-isomers of androstan-17beta-ol-3-ones was possible because of significant differences in relative abundance of product ions generated by elimination of acetone from alpha,beta-saturated 3-keto steroids.     

Simple Extraction and HPLC Determination of UV-A and UV-B Filters in Sunscreen Products

The determination of 11 organic UV filters, worldwide authorised in sunscreen formulations, was performed by HPLC with UV spectrophotometric detection. The filters determined were: phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid, benzophenone-4, benzophenone-3, 4-methylbenzylidene camphor, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, octocrylene, methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutyl phenol, butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyltriazine, ethylhexyl triazone, and diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate. Three analytical methods were developed which were based on an ultrasonic extraction of the sample in methanol/1% aqueous acetic acid (70:30, v/v) or dimethylacetamide/propan-2-ol (1:1, v/v) in dependence of the water or fat-solubility of the filter, followed by HPLC separation and quantitation. HPLC was carried out using three different columns and eluting conditions. Standard calibration curves were linear for all the analytes over the concentration range 0.5–100 μg mL^?1. UV measurements were carried out at 280, 300, 310 or 360 nm with the aid of a diode array detector in dependence on the maximum absorption of each filter. Quantitative recoveries were obtained for all sunscreen compounds determined in homemade formulations. The proposed analytical procedure has been successfully applied for the analysis of commercial samples in order to check the presence of UV filters and to determine their concentration.     

Komplexometrische Bestimmung von Natrium, Kalium und von deren Summe durch Ionenaustausch

Zusammenfassung Es wird eine Methode zur komplexometrischen Bestimmung von Natrium, Kalium und deren Summe beschrieben. Mit Hilfe eines Ionenaustauschers in der Mg-Form werden die Alkalimetalle quantitativ und stöchiometrisch gegen Magnesium ausgetauscht, welches dann mit Eriochromschwarz T als Indicator komplexometrisch bestimmt werden kann. Das Verfahren ist im Makro-, Halbmikro- und bei Beachtung bestimmter Vorsichtsmaßregeln auch im Mikromaßstab anwendbar. Bei Vorliegen von Natrium und Kalium nebeneinander wird deren Summe bestimmt. Durch Hinzuziehen der Kaliumbestimmung mit Tetraphenyloborat ist eine Natrium-Kalium-Trennung möglich. Das Resultat liegt nach 30 min vor; die reine Arbeitszeit beträgt etwa 10 min. Dies läßt die Methode zur Schnellbestimmung geeigneter erscheinen, als die vor kurzem beschriebene Natriumbestimmung durch Ionenaustausch gegen Kalium³. Die Methode zeichnet sich durch hohe Genauigkeit aus.Wir sprechen der Firma Heyl & Co., Hildesheim, für die Überlassung von Natriumtetraphenyloborat (Handelsname Kalignost) und den Farbenfabriken Bayer, Leverkusen, für die Überlassung von Ionenaustauschern (Handelsname Lewatit) auf diesem Wege unseren herzlichsten Dank aus.
