    Notes: Abstract Differentiation of adipogenic precursor cells into mature adipocytes is a complex phenomenon, characterized by an ordered expression of adipocyte-specific genes, triggered by a set of interacting transcription factors. The most important transcription factors involved in this process are the γ form of peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARγ) and the various members of the CCAAT enhancer binding proteins (α, β, and δ). In addition to PPARγ and these enhancer binding proteins, several other transcription factors, including ADD-1 (SRE-BP), HMGI-C, are involved in regulating this process. Altered activity and/or expression of these transcription factors, will induce the expression of target genes in the differentiating cells, ultimately resulting in the phenotypical characteristics of the adipocytes. It is speculated that modulation of these transcription factors by either pharmacological or dietary manipulations might influence adipocyte differentiation and prove beneficial in the prevention and treatment of obesity.

    Notes: Oxidation of 4-alkylpyrocatechols 2 by means of an insect diphenoloxidase (laccase) or K3 [Fe(CN)6] yields, in the presence of resorcinols 1 (R2 = H), complex mixtures of products from which biphenyltetrols 3 (R3 = H) and dibenzofuranones 5 and 6 were isolated. It is suggested that similar homo-coupling products are formed from pyrocatechols 2b and 2c in insects during cuticle sclerotization.

    Notes: The carbohydrate-derived lactone phenylsemicarbazones 3 and 4 were prepared from 5 and 8 (Scheme). Treatment with 4-phenylsemicarbazide gave 6 and 7 (77:23) and 9 and 19 (76:24), respectively. Oxidation of 6 and 9 by CrO3-pyridine to 11 and 13, followed by deprotection, yeilded 3 and 4. The structure of 3 was established by X-ray analysis. Enzyme-inhibition studies using revealed that 3 is a competitive inhibitor with Ki = 23 μm. The activity of 4 was examined using N-acetylglucosaminidase from bovine kidney, Aspergillus niger, and Artemia salina. compound 4 was found to be a competitive inhibitor of all three enzymes with Ki values of 0.13, 6.0, and 0.71 μm and KM/Ki values of 6910, 45, and 465, respectively.

    Notes: Incorporation experiments with (3H and 14C) doubly labelled farnesols into cantharidinAfter injection of 11′, 12-[3H]-7-[14C]-farnesol or 11′, 12-[3H]-5,6-[14C]-farnesol, the 3H-label is located specifically in the C(9)-methyl-group of cantharidin, whereas the 14C-labelling pattern follows an incorporation via acetic acid (Scheme 4). C-Atoms 5, 6 and 7 from the middle part of the farnesol molecule are utilized for cantharidin biosynthesis to an extent that is about 2.1-11% of the incorporation rate of the methyl groups C(11′) and C(12), depending on the position of the 14C-label in farnesol. These results confirm our earlier hypothesis [1] that the C10-molecule cantharidin is biosynthesized from the C15-precursor farnesol which is cleaved between C(1)-C(2), C(4)-C(5), and C(7)-C(8). The synthesis of 7-[14C]-farnesol and of 5,6-[14C]-farnesol is described.

    Notes: Identification of farnesol as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of cantharidin from mevalonolactoneSimultaneous injection of 2-[14C]-mevalonolactone (2-[14C]-1) and (E,E)-11′,12-[3H]-farnesol (11′,12-[3H]-2) into Lytta vesicatoria L. (Coleoptera, Meloidae) yields doubly labelled cantharidin (3). The remainder of the precursor farnesol, re-isolated from the insects after the incubation period, has incorporated 14C-radioactivity. The labelling pattern in this farnesol, as determined by two independent degradative reaction sequences, is in agreement with the isoprene rule. Since specific incorporation of farnesol (2) into cantharidin (3), and of mevalonolactone (1) into both, farnesol (2) and cantharidin (3) is observed, the sesquiterpene alcohol 2 acts as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of the C10-compound 3 (Scheme 1).

    Notes: Reactions of o-Quinones with Amines and Proteins. 7a-Methyl-5,6,7,7a-tetrahysroindole Derivatives from 4-Methylcatechol and EnaminesMethyl l-[2′-(methoxycarbonyl)ethyl]-7a-methyl-5,6-dioxo-5.6.7,7a-tetrahydro-indole-3-carboxylate (1) was isolated after the oxidation of 4-methylcatechol with silver (1) oxide in the presence of b̃-alanine methyl ester in glacial acetic acid. The formation of 1 requires in situ dehydrogenation of the b̃-aminocarboxylate and addition of the resulting enamine to 4-methyl-1,2-benzoquinone. Reaction of ethyl 3-(phenylamino)crotonate with 4-methyl-1,2-benzoquinone afforded ethyl 2,7a-dimethyl-5,6-dioxo-1-phenyl-5,6,7,7a-tetrahydroindole-3-carboxylate (6). Despite the fact that the yields are low, the addition of enamines to o-quinones represents an interesting novel extension of the Nenitzescu-reaction which is well known in the p-quinone series. Compound 1 may be considered as a novel model for the crosslinking of proteins by o-quinones. Formation of 1 was, however, not observed under physiological conditions.

    Notes: On the incorporation of geraniol and farnesol into cantharidinEarlier investigations [1] have shown that cantharidin (1) is biosynthesized by the male Lytta vesicatoria L. (Meloidae, Coleoptera) from the common terpenoid precursors mevalonate and farnesol (3). To prove if geraniol (2) is incorporated via farnesol (3) into cantharidin (1) the following geraniols have been synthesized and injected into either larvae or male adult Lytta vesicatoria, partly in a mixture with synthetic 11′, 12-[3H]-farnesol as an internal standard: 2-[14C]-, 7-[14C]-, 7′, 8-[14C]-, 7′, 8-[3H]-geraniol. Unexpectedly, geraniol (2) was not specifically incorporated into cantharidin (1) perhaps due to its higher toxicity or its faster degradation relative to the other precursors before incorporation. The incorporation of U-[14C]-leucine, U-[14C]-isoleucine and 1-[14C]-glucose into cantharidin (1) via their metabolites is evident by degradation studies, whereas 1-[14C]- and 2-[14C]-glycine do not serve as precursors for cantharidin (1).

    Notes: Experiments on the competitive incorporation of farnesol-stereoisomers into cantharidinFarnesol (2) has been demonstrated to be an efficient precursor for cantharidin (1), into which it is transformed by elimination of C(1), C(5), C(6), C(7) and C(7′) [1]. The following incorporation experiments with doubly labelled (3H and 14C) stereoisomers of farnesol present strong evidence that (E,E)- farnesol ((E,E)-2) in fact is the precursor for cantharidin, whereas (2E, 6Z)-2 and (Z,Z)-2 are not utilized for the biosynthesis of cantharidin. A possible mechanism for the incorporation of (2Z,6E)-farnesol ((2Z,6E)-2) to an extent of 56,8% relative to (E,E)-2 is discussed.

    Notes: Thermosetting resin/glass cloth composites find extensive use in the packaging of electrical circuits into multi-layered circuit boards. To determine optimum processing conditions, it is necessary to understand the rheology of the resin as it cures. In this study, a squeezing flow geometry was used to determine the shear viscosity of a high performance epoxy resin during cure; Viscosity profiles were obtained during rising temperature cure. The results were compared with the complex viscosities obtained using the dynamic oscillatory parallel plate geometry. A numerical optimization algorithm was used to obtain the dual Arrhenius viscosity model parameters from the experimental viscosity data. The sensitivities of the model parameters and their effects on the predicted viscosity profiles were also determined.
