    Notes: Abstract A unique decomposition reaction of the novel squalene synthase inhibitors called zaragozic acids has been studied. Under very mild conditions, e.g. by merely exposing their solutions to air and visible light at ambient temperature, these compounds, characterized by the 2,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-4,6,7-trihydroxy-3,4,5-tricarboxylic acid core, rapidly decompose. As relatively stable intermediates in the cascade of decomposition, the biologically active 2,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-6,7-dihydroxy-4-keto-5-caroxylic acid (or 3,4-decarboxy-4-dehydro) derivatives of these compounds have been isolated in ca. 20% yield. Derivatization on the highly reactive 4-carbonyl group yields stable derivatives, several of which are potent inhibitors of squalene synthase. Further decomposition results in the elimination of C3 and C4 atoms and the carboxylic acid on C5, the oxidation of C5 to carboxylic acid and the liberation of the oxo group on C1. Specific results obtained with zaragozic acid A, a key representative of the family of these potent cholesterol-lowering agents, are presented in this study.

    Notes: Summary We compared the effects of infusing a chemically defined chiro-inositol glycan putative insulin mediator with an equivalent dose of insulin in low-dose (45 mg/kg) streptozotocin diabetic rats. Insulin decreased plasma glucose levels from 17.32 ± 0.17 to 3.96 ± 0.064 mmol/l (p 〈 0.0002) in 120 min, a decrease of 77.13 %, while the putative mediator promoted a decrease in plasma glucose from 14.85 ± 0.084 to 7.22 ± 0.13 mmol/l (p 〈 0.007) in 60 min. The putative mediator maintained euglycaemia over the ensuing 60 min with a plasma glucose level of 7.01 ± 0.10 mmol/l at 120 min. Thus, insulin further reduced the plasma glucose from euglycaemia at 60 min to produce hypoglycaemia at 120 min. The lack of production of hypoglycaemia by the putative mediator can be explained by its inhibition of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by the islet beta cells, thus providing a potential negative feedback regulatory mechanism; or by its selective action on muscle to increase glycogen synthesis. The significance of these results in terms of future directions in drug design is herein considered. [Diabetologia (1996) 39: 731–734]

    Notes: The chemical dynamics to form cyanopropyne, CH3CCCN (X 1A1), and cyanoallene, H2CCCHCN (X 1A′), via the neutral–neutral reaction of the cyano radical, CN (X 2Σ+), with methylacetylene, CH3CCH (X 1A1), is investigated under single collision conditions in a crossed molecular beam experiment at a collision energy of 24.7 kJ mol−1. The laboratory angular distribution and time-of-flight spectra of the C4H3N products are recorded at m/e=65, 64, 63, and 62. The reaction of d3-methylacetylene, CD3CCH (X 1A1), with CN radicals yields reactive scattering signal at m/e=68 and m/e=67 demonstrating that two distinct H(D) atom loss channels are open. Forward-convolution fitting of the laboratory data reveal that the reaction dynamics are indirect and governed by an initial attack of the CN radical to the π electron density of the β carbon atom of the methylacetylene molecule to form a long lived CH3CCHCN collision complex. The latter decomposes via two channels, i.e., H atom loss from the CH3 group to yield cyanoallene, and H atom loss from the acetylenic carbon atom to form cyanopropyne. The explicit identification of the CN vs H exchange channel and two distinct product isomers cyanoallene and cyanopropyne strongly suggests the title reaction as a potential route to form these isomers in dark molecular clouds, the outflow of dying carbon stars, hot molecular cores, as well as the atmosphere of hydrocarbon rich planets and satellites such as the Saturnian moon Titan. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The RalGDS is a guanine nucleotide dissociation stimulator which activates the Ral protein, a Ras-like small GTPase. The C-terminal domain of the RalGDS (C-RalGDS) binds tightly to the effector loop of Ras suggesting that the RalGDS may be a crossing point of two signal tranduction pathways associated with the Ras and Ral proteins. C-RalGDS has been purified and crystallized in space group C2, with unit-cell dimensions a = 108.8, b = 30.7, c = 51.3 Å, β = 91.7° at 277 K and a = 103.8, b = 30.55, c = 51.4 Å, β = 94.9° for data collected at 100 K. The crystals diffract to 1.8 Å at a synchrotron radiation source. To use the multiple-wavelength anomalous diffraction method for phasing, a selenomethionine derivative of the protein has also been crystallized.

    Notes: Ubiquinol:cytochrome c oxidoreductase, the middle segment of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, is a multi-subunit transmembrane redox enzyme. The purified protein from beef heart mitochondria has been crystallized by three groups in three different forms, but progress toward a structure has been hampered by the limited order (resolution) of the crystals. It has been found that under certain conditions the enzyme crystallizes in a new form suitable for X-ray diffraction studies. These crystals belong to space group C2221 in the orthorhombic system. The cell dimensions are a = 384, b = 118 and c = 177 Å. These new crystals at present diffract to 3.8 Å at best. This is not significantly better than hexagonal [P61(5)22] crystals grown, but the new crystals have the advantage of less spot overlap because of face-centered packing which results in systematic extinctions. More importantly, the availability of the same enzyme in multiple crystal forms may allow phase refinement and extension by the method of molecular replacement.

    Notes: The chemical dynamics to cyanoacetylene, HCCCN(X 1Σ+), formation via the neutral–neutral reaction of cyanogen, CN(X 2Σ+), with acetylene, C2H2(X 1Σg+), is investigated in a crossed molecular beams experiment at a collision energy of 21.1 kJ mol−1. The laboratory angular distribution and time-of-flight spectra of the HCCCN product are recorded at m/e=51 and 50. Forward-convolution fitting of our data reveals that the reaction dynamics are governed by an initial attack of the CN radical to the π electron density of the acetylene molecule to form a HCCHCN collision complex on the 2A′ surface. The four heavy atoms are rotating in plane almost perpendicular to the total angular momentum vector J around the C axis of the complex which undergoes C–H bond rupture through a tight transition state to HCCCN and H. The H atom is emitted almost perpendicular to the HCCCN axis to yield a nearly "sideways" peaking of T(θ). The explicit identification of the cyanoacetylene reaction product represents a solid background for the title reaction to be included with more confidence in reaction networks modeling the chemistry in dark, molecular clouds, outflow of dying carbon stars, hot molecular cores, as well as the atmosphere of hydrocarbon rich planets and satellites such as the Saturnian moon Titan. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The reaction of atomic carbon, C(3Pj) with per-deutero benzene, C6D6 is investigated at an average collision energy of 32.1 kJ mol−1 using the crossed molecular beams technique combined with a universal mass spectrometric detector. Product angular distributions and time-of-flight spectra of C7D5 and C7D6 are recorded. Forward-convolution fitting of our time-of-flight data (TOFs) and laboratory angular distribution (LAB) together with high level electronic structure calculations on the singlet and triplet C7D6 potential energy surfaces are consistent with the formation of the per-deutero-1,2-didehydrocycloheptatrienyl radical, C7D5. No C7D6 adduct is found experimentally. Our investigations indicate that the carbon atom attacks the benzene molecule face without an entrance barrier to form an initial complex. This undergoes a ring opening to give triplet cycloheptatrienylidene as a C7D6 intermediate. The latter fragments without exit barrier via a C–D bond rupture to yield the per-deutero-1,2-didehydrocycloheptatrienyl isomer, C7D5, and a D atom. This barrierless route for the destruction of benzene may be involved in the synthesis of higher cyclic hydrocarbon derivatives in the interstellar medium, in outflows of dying carbon stars, in hydrocarbon-rich planetary atmospheres, as well as in oxygen-poor combustion flames. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
