A reversed-phase liquid chromatographic assay was developed to quantitate prednisolone, prednisone and the 20 alpha-dihydro and 20 beta-dihydro reduced metabolites of both parent compounds in tissue culture media from in vitro perfusions of the human placental lobule. Steroids were extracted from perfusate, using reversed-phase cartridges, with average recoveries of 95.2% or greater. The internal standard for the analyses was 6 alpha-methylprednisolone. In this assay cortisol coelutes with prednisolone, however, no other significant interferences were found. Assay of each steroid was linear in the range 0-1 microgram/ml. Intra-assay coefficients of variation were measured at 10 and 750 ng/ml with ranges of 3.4% (20 alpha-dihydroprednisone) to 8.8% (20 beta-dihydroprednisolone) and 4.1% (20 beta-dihydroprednisone) to 8.8% (prednisone). The corresponding inter-assay coefficients of variation were 3.3% (20 alpha-dihydroprednisone) to 9.1% (20 beta-dihydroprednisolone) and 1.9% (prednisolone) to 3.5% (prednisone). The analyses utilized two C18 columns which were linked together and maintained at 40 degrees C. 相似文献
The enthalpy, ΔH = ?64.7 ± 4 kJ mol?1, for the reaction Pt(PPh3)2(η-C2H4)(s) + pcbd(g) → Pt(PPh3)2(η-pcbd)(s) + C2H4(g) where pcbd is 3-phenylcyclobutene-1,2-dione, , has been measured calorimetrically. The Ptolefin bond in this complex is slightly stronger than that in Pt(PPh3)2(η-PhCHCH2). 相似文献
Soluble ethylene polymerization catalysts derived from (π-C5H5)2Ti(R)Cl and R ′AlCl2, where R = methyl or phenyl and R ′ = methyl or ethyl, were studied both by polymerization kinetics at 0°C and by diagnostic experiments. It was found that the first insertion of ethylene into the Ti? R bond is difficult when R = methyl or phenyl, and for this reason these catalysts show a different overall behavior than when R = ethyl or higher alkyl. 相似文献
The previously reported chain-transfer studies were extended to include chain transfer to esters, amides, amines, phosphines, and other compounds containing functional groups. Phosphines are very reactive, amines are moderately reactive, and amides and esters are quite unreactive. Most other functional groups give moderate reactivity. Halogens and compounds containing a nitrogen-oxygen bond were all found to be inhibitors for ethylene polymerization. 相似文献
The syntheses of macrocyclic species composed of carborane derivatives joined via their carbon vertices by electrophilic mercury atoms are described. The reaction of closo-1,2-Li(2)[C(2)B(10)H(10)(-)(x)()R(x)()] with HgI(2) gives Li(2)[(1,2-C(2)B(10)H(10)(-)(x)()R(x)()Hg)(4)I(2)] [R = Et, x = 2 (5.I(2)Li(2)); R = Me, x = 2 (6.I(2)Li(2)); R = Me, x = 4 (7.I(2)Li(2))]. 6.I(2)(K.[18]dibenzocrown-6)(2) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m [a = 28.99(2) ?, b = 18.19(1) ?, c = 13.61(1) ?, beta = 113.74(2) degrees, V = 6568 ?(3), Z = 4, R = 0.060, R(w) = 0.070]; 7.I(2)(NBu(4))(2) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c [a = 12.77(1) ?, b = 21.12(2) ?, c = 20.96(2) ?, beta = 97.87(2) degrees, V = 5600 ?(3), Z = 2, R = 0.072, R(w) = 0.082]. The precursor to 7, closo-8,9,10,12-Me(4)-1,2-C(2)B(10)H(8) (4), is made in a single step by reaction of closo-1,2-C(2)B(10)H(12) with MeI in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. The free hosts 5, 6, and 7 are obtained by reaction of the iodide complexes with stoichiometric quantities of AgOAc. A (199)Hg NMR study indicates that sequential removal of iodide from 5.I(2)Li(2) and 6.I(2)Li(2) with aliquots of AgOAc solution leads to formation of two intermediate host-guest complexes in solution, presumed to be 5(6)ILi and 5(2)(6)(2).ILi. Crystals grown from a solution of 6.I(2)Li(2) to which 1 equiv of AgOAc solution had been added proved to be an unusual stack structure with the formula 6(3).I(4)Li(4) [tetragonal, I4/m, a = 21.589(2) ?, c = 21.666(2) ?, V = 10098 ?(3), Z = 2, R = 0.058, R(w) = 0.084]. Addition of 2 equiv of NBu(4)Br ion to 5 or 6 gives 5.Br(2)(NBu(4))(2) and 6.Br(2)(NBu(4))(2), respectively, while addition of 1 equiv of KBr to 6 forms 6.BrK. 5.Br(2)(NBu(4))(2) crystallizes in the triclinic space group P&onemacr;, [a = 10.433(1) ?, b = 13.013(1) ?, c = 15.867(2) ?, alpha = 91.638(2) degrees, beta = 97.186(3) degrees, gamma = 114.202(2) degrees, V = 1492 ?(3), Z = 1, R = 0.078, R(w) = 0.104]. The hosts 5 and 6 form 1:1 supramolecular adducts with the polyhedral anions B(10)I(10)(2)(-) and B(12)I(12)(2)(-) in solution. 相似文献
Lewis acid mediated intramolecular Mannich reaction between an azocinone and a 3-formylindole was investigated as part of a study towards the synthesis of actinophyllic acid. The intramolecular Mannich reaction resulted in a single diastereomer of the 1-azabicyclo[4.2.1]nonan-5-one core framework, although single crystal X-ray structure analysis revealed that this had the undesired stereochemistry in comparison with the natural product. 相似文献
The solvatochromic comparison method is used to unravel solvent polarity and hydrogen bonding effects on a variety of NMR spectral shifts and coupling constants. Solvent effects are rationalized in terms of the solvatochromic parameters π*, δ, α and β. Properties analyzed include 19F shifts of 5-fluoroindole, 1H shifts of fluorodinitromethane, tert-butanol, phenol, 2-methylbut-1-en-3-yne, and thioacetamide, 1H and 13C shifts and J(13C1H) coupling constants of chloroform, 13C shifts of acetone, 15N shifts of pyridine, 15N and 29Si shifts of 1-methylsilatrane, and some J(119Sn,C,19F) coupling constants of polyalkyltin compounds. 相似文献
The archaeal exosome is formed by a hexameric RNase PH ring and three RNA binding subunits and has been shown to bind and
degrade RNA in vitro. Despite extensive studies on the eukaryotic exosome and on the proteins interacting with this complex, little information
is yet available on the identification and function of archaeal exosome regulatory factors. 相似文献
