Synthesis and in Vitro Evaluation of N-[[4-[2-(Carboxyl)-1-Cycloalken-1-yl]Phenyl]Methyl]Imidazoles as Nonpeptide Angiotensin II Receptor Antagonists

A series of nonpeptide angiotensin II receptor antagonists was synthesized via palladium-assisted cross coupling of aryl stannane and cycloalkenyl triflates and subsequent alkylation of silyl-protected imidazole. Our compounds, which have a terminal five- to seven-membered cycloalkenyl ring, are compared to DuPont EXP7711, an N-[(2′-carboxybiphenylyl)methyl]imidazole, which has a terminal phenyl moiety. Physicochemical properties of the compounds, such as lipophilicity, steric bulk, conformation, and the relative spatial proximity of the 2-carboxyl and the middle phenyl, are quantitated by computational chemistry. Potency in terms of binding affinity to AT₁ receptors in rat adrenal glomerulosa and rabbit aorta is maximized when the terminal ring is aromatic.

SAPO-5分子筛骨架结构研究

SAPO-5分子筛的骨架是由PO_4~-、AlO_4~-和SiO_4四面体构成.可以看作是硅同晶置换AlPO_4-5分子筛骨架上的磷或铝而得到,其取代方式可以通过三种可能的途径实观;(1)Si 取代Al;(2)Si 取代P;(3)两个Si 等同取代一个P 和一个Al.由于取代方式的不同,将导致骨架TO_4(T=P、Al,Si)的连接方式的不同,因此Si 在SAPO-5分子筛骨架中的存在状态是人们十分关注的问题.目前这方面的研究工作都采用固体核磁共振的方法,并且认为合成条件的不同其取代机理也不相同.本工作用~(31)P 和~(29)Si 固体高分辨核磁共振技术结合电子探针和光电子能谱方法对HF 参与下得到的SAPO-5分子筛骨架构成进行了系统的研究.     

Considerations on the recognition of the D1 receptor by agonists

Summary A model of the mechanism for recognition of the D1 receptor has been developed. Conformational analysis for 10 agonists from diverse chemical families was carried out as a first step toward the characterization of the bioactive form. First, maximum structural overlap of the features common to all ligands allowed a simple identification of the candidate bioactive form for each ligand. At a second level of characterization, steric and electronic properties were computed for all accessible structures to analyze those properties that may modulate receptor recognition.

About the TATB assumption: effect of charge reversal on transfer of large spherical ions from aqueous to non-aqueous solvents and on their interfacial behaviour

We present a molecular dynamics study of the solvation properties of large spherical ions S⁺ and S⁻ of same size, in water, chloroform and acetonitrile solutions, and at a water–chloroform interface. According to the “extrathermodynamic” TATB hypothesis, such ions have identical free energies of transfer from water to any solvent. We find that this is not the case, because S⁻ interacts better than S⁺ with water (by about 20 kcal mol⁻¹), while S⁺ is better solvated by acetonitrile (by about 2 kcal mol⁻¹) and chloroform (about 8 kcal mol⁻¹) solvents. The importance of “long-range” electrostatic interactions on the charge discrimination by solvent is demonstrated by the comparison of standard vs corrected methods to calculate: (i) the electrostatic potential at the centre of the solute; (ii) the interaction energies between the ions and the solvents; and (iii) the free energies of charging the neutral sphere S⁰ to S⁺ and S⁻, respectively. These conclusions are obtained with several solvent models and simulation conditions. The question of ion pairing for the S⁺S⁻, S⁺Cl⁻ and S⁻Na⁺ pairs is also examined in the three solvents. Finally, simulations at a liquid–liquid water–chloroform interface represented explicitly, show that S⁺ and S⁻ are highly surface active, although they do not possess, like classical surfactants, an amphiphilic topology. Adsorption at the interface is found with different methodologies and at different ion concentrations. These results are important in the context of the “TATB hypothesis”, and for our understanding of solvation of large hydrophobic ions in pure liquids or in heterogeneous liquid environments.     

Experimental and theoretical electronic charge densities in molecular crystals

Electronic charge density distribution in molecular systems has been described in terms of the topological properties. After briefly reviewing methods of obtaining charge densities from X-ray diffraction and theory, typical case studies are discussed. These studies include rings and cage systems, hydrogen bonded solids, polymorphic solids and molecular NLO materials. It is shown how combined experimental and theoretical investigations of charge densities in molecular crystals can provide useful insights into electronic structure and reactivity.
