    Notes: Abstract: Using a whole-cell binding procedure with long incubations at low temperature and subsequent acid stripping, we have characterized an atypical endothelin (ET) receptor in primary rat cortical astrocyte cultures. We found the following: (a) no competition for 125I-ET-1 binding by the ETA antagonists BQ-123 and LU 135252 or the ETB agonist IRL 1620; (b) weak competition by the ETB antagonist BQ-788 and by the predominant ETB ligand ET-3; (c) potent synergistic competition of ETA and ETB ligands in combination for 125I-ET-1 binding; (d) potent competition of ET-1 with any of the radioligands used, 125I-ET-1, 125I-IRL 1620, and [3H]BQ-123; (e) lack of competition of IRL 1620 and BQ-123 with the respective other radioligand; (f) shifting of the amount of acid-strippable 125I-ET-1 binding from 20 to 80% by ETB ligands and to 4% by ETA ligands; and (g) as a control, typical ETA and ETB binding characteristics of the RAT-1 fibroblast and the U373MG astrocytoma cell line, respectively, under our assay conditions. The unusual binding properties of astrocytic ET receptors described in this study appear to be the result of several binding sites in the receptor for different ET ligands or ligand epitopes.

    Notes: The significance of prenatal and perinatal complications (biological risk) and of family adversity (psychosocial risk) on early child development was examined in a prospective study. Developmental outcome of 350 infants was assessed by measures of motor, cognitive, and social-emotional functioning at 3, 24, and 54 months. Results indicated a differential impact of risk factors on specific outcomes. Whereas psychosocial risks became more prominent with growing age and were related to poorer child outcome in all areas of functioning, biological risks decreased in influence and predominantly resulted in poorer motor development. The contributions of biological and psychosocial risks on outcomes were additive. A number of individual risk factors emerged as significant predictors of later maladaptation.

    Notes: [Auszug] Small particles have a lower melting point than bulk material. The physical cause lies in the fact that small particles have a higher proportion of surface atoms than larger particles—surface atoms have fewer nearest neighbours and are thus more weakly bound and less constrained in their ...

    Notes: Abstract  The endothelins, a family of closely related vasoactive and mitogenic peptides, are thought to play an important role in cardiovascular pathophysiology. The conversion of the inactive precursor ”big endothelin” to the biologically active peptide is catalyzed in vitro and in vivo by endothelin-converting enzymes (ECE). Recently the cDNA cloning of two homologous proteins, termed ECE-1 and ECE-2, has been reported. ECE-1 may play a key role in the activation and regulation of the cardiovascular endothelin proteolytic cascade. ECE-1 mRNA is expressed in two isoforms, termed α and β, which are identical except for the 5′-terminal regions. To investigate the transcriptional regulation of isoform-specific ECE-1 mRNA expression we isolated phage clones from a human genomic library and identified the α- and β-specific exons of ECE-1. The exon/intron organization of the 5′-terminal region of the human ECE-1 gene in conjunction with putative transcription initiation start sites suggests the existence of two alternative promoters, each directing the expression of either isoform. A reverse transcription/polymerase chain reaction assay indicated differential mRNA expression of ECE-1 isoforms. Using a luciferase reporter gene assay, we found that the genomic region upstream of exon 1α confers strong promoter activity in the human endothelial cell line ECV 304, which was previously shown to express predominantly ECE-1α mRNA. Transfection of serial deletion mutants in ECV304 cells indicated the existence of three positive and also one negative regulating element within 2 kb of the α-promoter region. Luciferase reporter gene studies also revealed that the genomic region upstream of exon 3, which encodes the putative ECE-1β specific N-terminus, was able to direct luciferase expression in primary cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells, indicating the existence of an alternative promoter. Transfection of nested deletions spanning 1.2 kb upstream of the putative translation initiation codon of ECE-1β suggested the existence of three positive regulating regions within the β-specific promoter. Both ECE-1 promoters lack TATA or CAAT boxes, and the two show different patterns of consensus sequences for transcription factors, suggesting a differential transcriptional regulation of isoform-specific ECE-1 mRNA expression.

    Notes: A First Example of a Porphyrinoid Fulvalene: Synthesis, Structure, ESR and Electrochemical InvestigationsThe macrocyclic tetraepoxy-1H-[21]annulen-1-one 4 can by synthesized by the cyclizing Wittig reaction of 5,5′-carbonylbis[furan-2-carboxaldehyde] (11) and the bisphosphonium salt 12, obtained from 2,2′-bifuran-5,5′-dicarboxaldehyde (13). According to an X-ray structure analysis, the annulenone 4 is not planar in the crystal; the 1H-NMR spectra of 4 reveal an averaged planarity with respect to the NMR timescale. The McMurry reaction of 4 yields fulvalene 3 in 43% yield as the most expanded fulvalene hithertoo known. The X-ray structure analyses of 3 surprising establishes a ‘syn’-orientation of the two rings with respect to the central C=C bond, thus forming a basket-like molecule. The 1H-NMR spectrum confirms the averaged planarity of both macrocycles in 3. CV and spectroelectrochemical measurements of 3 suggest a reversible two-electron reduction producing dianion 15 with two aromatic, anionic 5a,15a-didehydro-10H-21,22,23,24-tetraoxa-5a,15a-dihomocorrole (= tetraoxa[22]porphyrin(2.1.2.0)) ring systems containing 22π electrons each. The formation of 15 can also be achieved chemically by reaction of 3 with metallic potassium. The dication 16 of 3 may be antiaromatic, but the exact electronic structure is dubious. ESR and ENDOR investigations on the radical cation and the radical anion of 3 indicate that the free electron is delocalized in the entire molecule.

    Notes: N-Lithio-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine [Li(tmp)] reacts with AlX3 (X = Cl, Br) in diethyl ether/ n-hexane solution to generate the products of substitution and ether cleavage, [tmpAl(X)(μ-OEt)], (la, X = Cl; 1b, X = Br). However, when the reaction is allowed to proceed in n-hexane alone, an almost quantitative yield of compounds tmp2AlX (2a, X = Cl; 2b, X = Br; 2c, X = I) is obtained. According to 27AI-NMR spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, cryoscopy, and X-ray crystal structure determinations, these compounds are monomeric in the solid state, in solution, and in the gas phase. 2b reacts with AgBF4 yielding the fluoride-bridged dimer (tmp2AlF), 2d, as shown by X-ray crystal structure determination.

    Notes: The reaction of (S)-prolinol (LH) with H3B · THF proceeds via [L2BH2〈]BH4, which decomposes with elimination of hydrogen at ca. -40°C to give the BH3 adduct of spirocyclic 7. On heating, 7 loses more H2 to give the “anomalous” dimerization product 11, which features a tetracoordinated B atom in a “tetrahedral” BN2O2 unit and another B atom in an N2BH2 environment. It is also shown that the product resulting from the reaction of pseudoephedrin with H3B·THF undergoes an analogous anomalous dimerization, affording product 8.

    Notes: A series of benzo- 1,3,3-diphosphaborolanes C6H4(PR)2BR' (R = H, iPr, SiMe3; R' = R2N, R) has been prepared by several routes and characterized by spectroscopic and - in part - by X-ray diffraction methods. They feature pyramidal P atoms with the substituents in antiperiplanar positions. The P atoms act as coordination sites for the (CO)5Cr fragment. In contrast to the R2N-bearing benzo-1,3,2-diphosphaborolanes, the derivative C6H4(PH)2BCMe3 (4f) dimerizes by additional B-P bond formation to produce a pentacyclic system (4f)2. - The reaction of C6H4(PHNa)2 with B2(NMe2)2Cl2 in THF/hexane yields the acyclic phosphanylborane Me2NB(PH-C6H4PH2)2 (15). However, if C6H4[P(iPr)Li]2 is allowed to react with B2(NMe2)2Cl2, the benzo-1,4,2,3-diphosphadiborinane 13 is obtained, together with its rearrangement product 2-bis(dimethylamino)borylbenzo-1,3,2-diphosphaborolane 14 which dimerizes to (14)2.  -  In contrast, the almost planar ring of the 2,3-dimesitylbenzo-1,4,2,3-diphosphadiborinane (16) possesses P and B atoms with a planar geometry. Short B-B and B-P bonds suggest that this new heterocycle can be regarded as a 6π electron system. Moreover, the benzo-1,5,2,3,4-diphosphatriborepane 18 forms readily forms readily from C6H4(PHNa)2 and Br(Me2N)B-B(N-Me2)-B(NMe2) Br to give a tub-shaped seven-membered C2B3P2 ring system with the P atoms in a pyramidal and the B atoms in a planar environment.

    Notes: Improved preparations of 2,6-dimethylstyrene (5) and its α-bromo derivative (10) are described. The Br/Li exchange reaction of 10 provides single crystals of the title compounds 11 or 12, which were characterized as disolvated dimers by X-ray analyses. A similar dimer persists in diethyl ether, tert-butyl methyl ether, and toluene at all accessible temperatures, with significant lithiation NMR shifts (relative to 5) partially due to charge delocalization from the sp2-carbanionic center. Some NMR coupling constants are typical of the dimeric aggregate. The configurational (E,Z) lability is quantified in toluene solution.

    Notes: The reactions of the ammine-undecahydro-closo-dodecaborate(1-) anion with alkyl halides have been studied in detail. The degree of alkylation of the nitrogen was found to be dependent upon the steric demands of the alkyl groups. The derivatives were characterized by NMR and infrared spectroscopy. Four compounds were crystallized for single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The tetrahedral coordination of the nitrogen atom of the bis-alkylated derivatives was found to deviate towards planarity with increasing steric hindrance of the substitutents. - The syntheses, crystal structures, and spectral properties of four N-alkyl derivatives of [H3N—B12H11]-, ammine - undecahydro-closo-dodecaborate(1-) (3), are reported. Alkylation of 3 with ethyl iodide was achieved in dimethyl sulfoxide using potassium hydroxide as base. This led to orthorhombic crystals of [N(nC4H94][(CH3CH2)3N—B12H11] (4). The reaction of 3 with benzyl chloride resulted in the bisbenzylated product, isolated as triclinic crystals of [PPN][(C6H5CH2)2 NH—B12H11] (5). The alkylation of 3 with 2-bromopropane gave a mixture of the mono- and bisalkylated products. The monoalkylated derivative [PPN][(CH3)2CH)NH2-12H11] (6, crystallized in the triclinic space group p1) and the bisalkylated product [PPN]{[(CH3)2NH—B12H11) (7, monoclinic, P21./c) were separated on the basis of their different water solubilities. The solid-state structures of the compounds 4-7 revealed a slight distortion of the B12 icosahedron. The length of the B(1)-N(1) bond was found to be dependent on the steric requirements of the attached amine, e.g. primary amine 〈 secondary amine 〈 tertiary amine. This is demonstrated by the variation in the B—N bond length; from 157.8(2) pm for 6, 158.5(5) pjm for 5, 160.0(3) pm for 7, to 163.7(6) pm for 4.
