    Notes: Abstract: Regional differences in neurotensin metabolism and the peptidases involved were studied using intact, viable rat brain microslices and specific peptidase inhibitors. Regional brain slices (2 mm X 230 μm) prepared from nucleus accumbens, caudate-putamen, and hippocampus were incubated for 2 h in the absence and presence of phosphoramidon, captopril, N-[1(R,S)-carboxy-3-phenylpropyl]-Ala-Ala-Phe-p- aminobenzoate, and o-Phenanthroline, which are inhibitors of neutral endopeptidase 24.11, angiotensin-converting enzyme, metalloendopeptidase 24.15, and nonspecific metallopeptidases, respectively. Neurotensin-degrading proteolytic activity varied by brain region. Significantly less (35.0 ± 1.6%) neurotensin was lost from hippocampus than from caudateputamen (45.4 ± 1.0%) or nucleus accumbens (47.8 ± 1.1%) in the absence of inhibitors. Peptidases responsible for neurotensin metabolism on brain slices were found to be predominantly metallopeptidases. Metalloendopeptidase 24.15 is of major importance in neurotensin metabolism in each brain region studied. The relative contribution of specific peptidases to neurotensin metabolism also varied by brain region; angiotensin-converting enzyme and neutral endopeptidase 24.11 activities were markedly elevated in the caudate-putamen as compared with the nucleus accumbens or hippocampus. Interregional variation in the activity of specific peptidases leads to altered neurotensin fragment formation. The brain microslice technique makes feasible regional peptide metabolism studies in the CNS, which are impractical with synaptosomes, and provides evidence for regional specificity of neurotensin degradation.

    Notes: The γ-ray initiated copolymerisation of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone with methyl methacrylate in the presence of crosslinker has been effected to high conversion. At two fixed compositions of the principal monomers, the inclusion of different concentrations of the tetrafunctional crosslinkers ethylene dimethacrylate and a low molar mass poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate produced crosslinked xerogels, which were subsequently swollen in water and 1,4-dioxane to yield hydrogels and organogels, respectively. These gels were characterised by determinations of sol fraction, equilibrium solvent content and uniaxial compression stress/strain measurements. Differences among the swelling and mechanical properties according to the nature and concentration of crosslinking agent and according to the nature of the swelling medium are noted and discussed.

    Notes: Polymer-water interaction parameters, sequence length distributions and contents of total, freezing and non-freezing water have been discussed for a family of hydrogels. The xerogel precursors contained N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (VP) with several co-monomers of different levels of hydrophobicity present in the xerogel over a wide range of composition. Common trends in the behaviour of these systems have been noted and rationalised. In particular the findings indicate that (i) in the poly-VP hydrogel ther are ca. 8-10 molecules of non-freezing water per VP unit and (ii) in the copolymeric hydrogels the maximum occurring in the variation of mole fraction of VP versus mole fraction of water is due substantially to the sharp increase in uptake of freezing (or bulk) water by copolymers rich in VP.

    Notes: The propagation kinetics for the copolymerization of 4-methoxystyrene with methyl methacrylate and 4-methoxystyrene with styrene have been investigated using a pulsed laser technique. The dependence of the copolymerization propagation rate constant on the monomer feed ratio shows a diviation from classic Mayo-Lewis model kinetics for 4-methoxystyrene with methyl methacrylate but not for 4-methoxystyrene with styrene. These results have been interpreted to indicate that a penultimate effect is apparent in the first monomer pair but not in the second. With r1r2 = 0.092 for the copolymerization of 4-methoxystyrene with methyl methacrylate and r1r2 = 0.95 for 4-methoxystyrene with styrene, it is suggested that a deviation of the product of the coplymerization reactivity ratios from unity may be an indication of the presence of a penultimate effect.

    Description / Table of Contents: 2-Hydroxyethyl-methacrylat wurde durch Initiierung mit γ-Strahlung in Masse mit zwei verschiedenen tetrafunktionellen Monomeren (Ethylenglycol-dimethacrylat und 1,2-Bis(acryloxymethyl)-tetramethyldisiloxan) und einem hexafunktionellen Monomeren (1,1,1-Trimethylolpropan-trimethacrylat) als Vernetzungsmittel copolymerisiert. Die erhaltenen Xerogele wurden anschließend mit Wasser bis zum Erreichen der Gleichgewichtsquellung behandelt. Um die drei Vernetzungsmittel vergleichen zu können, wurde unter Berücksichtigung von Molmasse und Funktionalität der Xerogele die theoretische Konzentration an Vernetzungsstellen zwischen 0,032 und 0,644 mol/l variiert. Die relative Hydrophobie der drei Vernetzungsmittel hat einen ausschlaggebenden Einfluß sowohl auf die Gleichgewichtsquellung als auch auf den Elastizitätsmodul der gequollenen Gele. Der Gehalt an nicht-einfrierbarem Wasser in mit 1,1,1-Trimethylol-propan-trimethacrylat vernetzten Gelen wurde anhand von DSC-Untersuchungen analysiert. Das Verhältnis von nicht-einfrierbarem zum Gesamtgehalt an Wasser in den Gelen nimmt mit steigender Vernetzungsdichte zu.
    Notes: By means of γ-irradiation 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate has been copolymerized in bulk with two different tetrafunctional monomers, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate and 1,3-bis(acryloxymethyl) tetramethyl disiloxane and with a hexafunctional monomer, 1,1,1-trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate. The resultant xerogels were subsequently swollen to equilibrium in water. In order to allow a comparison among the three crosslinkers, their molar masses and funtionalities were taken into account, the theoretical crosslink concentrations being varied from 0.032 to 0.644 mol dm-3. The relative hydrophobicity of the three crosslinkers was found to have a significant effect on both the equilibrium swelling and elastic modulus of the swollen gels. Non-freezing water in several gels crosslinked with 1,1,1-trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate was analysed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The proportion of non-freezing water in the gel relative to the overall water content was found to increase with increasing crosslink density.

    Notes: Ab initio molecular orbital calculations have been performed on the transition state for the addition of methyl radical to twelve vinyl monomers using the SV 3-21G basis set. A linear relationship has been found between the calculated energies of activation and previously calculated energies of reaction. This supports the assumption of an Evans-Polanyi type rule in previous work which attempted to correlate reactivity with calculated energies of reaction. The activation energies obtained for methyl addition to butadiene and styrene were calculated to be negative. This is caused by errors introduced by a number of sources, viz. basis set superposition error, spin contamination and zero point energy. These errors are discussed. Previous authors have reported reasonable agreement between calculated activation energies at SV3-21G and experimental values for methyl addition to ethylene, this work suggests that this agreement was coincidental and results from the fortuitous cancellation of errors. The nature of the transition state for these radical addition reactions is discussed and the limitations of the SV3-21G basis set are highlighted. The theoretical prediction of activation energies for radical addition reactions would require much larger calculations, beyond the computational means of most research laboratories.
