    Notes: Abstract Three strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, SC-1, DBVPG 6173 and DBVPG 6037, were studied for vanadate resistance in complex Sabouraud medium since they did not thrive in different minimal media (yeast nitrogen base with and without amino acids). The strain SC-1 was resistant up to 16 mm of vanadate, whereas the strains DBVPG 6173 and DBVPG 6037 were inhibited by 8 mm and 4 mm vanadate, respectively. The vanadate resistance in strain SC-1 was constitutive and due to the reduction of this oxyanion to vanadyl, which was detected by EPR spectroscopy and visible spectroscopy. The transformation of vanadate to vanadyl took place during the exponential growth phase; 10 mm of vanadate was reduced to vanadyl outside the cells since the oxyanion was not detected in the cell biomass and only a negligible concentration of vanadyl (25 nmoles mg cells dry weight) was found in the biomass. The other two vanadate-sensitive yeast strains only accumulated vanadate and did not reduce the oxyanion to vanadyl.

    Notes: Abstract The transformation of m- and o-cresol has been investigated on a series of HY zeolites with Si/Al ratio in the range of 4.5 to 55, at 380°C and atmospheric pressure. It was found that the zeolite activity increased but stability decreased with NAl for both m- and o-cresol. For Si/Al = 4.5 the zeolite activity was similar for both reactants, but as Si/Al ratio increased, o-cresol became relatively more reactive than m-cresol, and for all Si/Al ratios the catalysts were more stable in the m-cresol transformation. Both m- and o-cresol were converted mainly through two parallel reactions - isomerization and disproportionation. The disproportionation reaction was predominant, and more important in the case of o-cresol. The isomerization/disproportionation selectivity increased for m-cresol and decreased for o-cresol with NAl. Catalyst deactivation favoured disproportionation in the case of o-cresol and isomerization in the case of m-cresol, except for o-cresol conversion on HY(4.5), where both reactions were equally affected. Isomerization selectivity for m-cresol (p/o) was found to be higher than the equilibrium value and to increase with catalyst deactivation; while for o-cresol, the isomerization ratio (m/p) did not change with time on stream for HY(4.5) and HY(16.6) and decreased for HY(55). Disproportionation selectivity (ph/∑x) was equal to unity independently of Si/Al ratio or catalyst deactivation.

    Notes: Abstract This paper examines the method of Jewish business ethics. MichaelWalzer, in his work, Interpretation and Social Criticism (1987), suggeststhree common and important approaches to moral philosophy. He labels thesethe path of discovery, the path of invention, and the path ofinterpretation. The first part of this paper argues that Jewish businessethics is best thought of in terms of interpretation. Without question, thereligious ethicist immediately recognizes Walzer‘s metaphor of the moralworld as a ’home occupied by a single family over many generations... ‘as his own. Ethical arguments from a Jewish perspective must of necessityhave a ’lived-in quality‘ and always make reference to and are based on the’memory-laden objects and artifacts.‘ The second part of the paper exploressome of the implications of Jewish business ethics as interpretation.

    Notes: Abstract A field experiment was conducted with wetland rice (Oryza sativa cv. IR-36) in a sandy clay loam soil (Entisol) to study the effect of inoculation with a soil-based mixed culture of four diazotrophic cyanobacteria,Aulosira fertilissima, Nostoc muscorum, N. commune andAnabaena spp., on the N-flux in inorganic NH4 ++NO3 −+ NO2 −), easily oxidizable, hydrolysable and non-hydrolysable forms of N in soil during vegetative growth periods of the crop. Effects on grain and straw yield and N uptake by the crop were estimated. The effects of applying urea N and N as organic sources, viz.Sesbania aculeata, Neem (Azardirachta indica) cake and FYM, each at the rate of 40 kg N ha−1, to the soil were also evaluated. Inoculation significantly increased the release of inorganic N, evidenced by its increased concentrations either in soil or in soil solution. However, such increases rarely exceeded even 4% of total N gained in different froms in the soil system by inoculation during the vegetative growth stages of the rice plant, when the nutritional requirement of the plants is at a maximum. Most of the N2 fixed by cyanobacteria remained in the soil as the hydrolysable form (about 85%) during this period. Inoculation caused an insignificant increase in grain (8%) and straw (11%) yield, which was, however, accompanied by a significant increase in N uptake by the grain (30%) and an increase in total uptake of 15.3 kg N ha 1. Such beneficial effects of inoculation varied in magnitude with the application of organic sources, with farmyard manure (FYM) being the most effective. Application of urea N, on the other hand, markedly reduced such an effect.

    Notes: Abstract In recent years, Populus species have acquired an important place in basic and applied research of woody plants. The practical role of Populus species in world forestry and their importance to research as a woody-plant model have led to increasing interest in tissue-culture and molecular techniques, as well as the development of transformation procedures for this genus. A simple technical procedure is described here step-by-step, for the first time, as a routine method for transforming Populus tremula using a disarmed Agrobacterium tumefaciens hypervirulent strain. The procedure begins with the inoculation of stem explants with bacterial suspension, followed by a short period of co-cultivation on a highly regenerative medium. Transformed shoots are selected on regeneration medium containing antibiotics and the presence of the inserted target genes is checked using a rapid and efficient PCR test. Selected shoots are transferred to a rooting medium, under the same selection pressure, and propagated via stem cuttings. Selected plants can be hardened and transferred to the green-house within 4 months of inoculation. The method has proven efficient for several gene constructs, selection on Kan or Hyg, and three different Agrobacterium strains.

    Notes: Abstract A very simple leaf assay is described that rapidly and reliably identifies transgenic plants expressing the hygromycin resistance gene, hph or the phosphinothricin resistance gene, bar. Leaf tips were cut from plants propagated either in the glasshouse or in tissue culture and the cut surface embedded in solid medium containing the appropriate selective agent. Non-transgenic barley or rice leaf tips had noticeable symptoms of either bleaching or necrosis after three days on the medium and were completely bleached or necrotic after one week. Transgenic leaf tips remained green and healthy over this period. This gave unambiguous discrimination between transgenic and non-transgenic plants. The leaf assay was also effective for dicot plants tested (tobacco and peas).

    Notes: Abstract Genomic integration of transferred T-DNA is traditionally analyzed by Southern hybridization; however, these analyses often do not provide sufficient information pertaining to the transformation event. Analysis of the junction sequences spanning the region between the T-DNA borders and plant genomic DNA, give a clear demonstration of genomic integration. The procedures available for border junction analysis can be problematic, therefore a simplified method was developed for plants transformed by Agrobacterium tumefaciens harboring the binary vector with pBI121 backbone.

    Notes: Abstract Endothelin-1 (ET-1), a peptide isolated from the culture medium of endothelial cells, mediates a variety of physiological and pathological responses including mitogenesis. We have compared the expression of ET receptors in untransformed versus ras-transformed NIH-3T3 murine fibroblasts and in untransformed versus SV40-transformed Wl38 (VA13) human fibroblasts by ligand binding and Northern analysis. NIH-3T3 and Wl38 cells displayed high affinity (200 and 220 pM) and high density (23,000 sites/cell and 14,000 sites/cell for NIH-3T3 and Wl38 cells, respectively) ET receptors. Competition binding experiments using subtype-selective ligands identified these receptors as the ETA subtype. Addition of ET-1 to the cells produced a concentration-dependent increase in intracellular calcium release. Both ras-transformed NIH-3T3 cells and SV40-transformed Wl38 cells (VA13) completely lacked [125I]ET-1 binding and failed to release calcium when exposed to ET-1. Northern analysis of the polyadenylat ed RNA (polyA RNA) isolated from untransformed and transformed cells revealed that the steady-state level of ETA receptor RNA was 90-95% less in transformed cells compared to untransformed cells. Thus, the loss of ET receptors as well as the receptor-mediated responses in transformed cells can be explained by down-regulation of ET receptor mRNA.

    Notes: Abstract Activities of several CaMV 35S and FMV 34S promoter derivatives fused to the gusA reporter gene were compared in suspension-cultured Catharanthus roseus cells that were transiently and stably transformed using particle bombardment. Our data demonstrate that the 35S and a deletion derivative of the 34S promoter combined with particle bombardment form useful tools for genetic engineering of C. roseus cells. Our results disagree on several points with activities of 35S and 34S promoter derivatives reported for tobacco, indicating that absolute and relative promoter activities can differ between plant species.

    Notes: Abstract Aspen (Populus tremula) and hybrid aspen (P. tremula × P. tremuloides) were transformed with different gene constructs using two types of promoter. The aim was to determine the influence of the reporter gene rolC, controlled by promoters of viral or plant origin, on genetic and morphologic expression of different transgenic aspen clones. An improved transformation method using leaf discs was developed, by which putative transgenic plantlets were regenerated at high efficiencies (up to 34%) on kanamycin-containing medium. Transgenic aspen carrying the rolC gene from Agrobacterium rhizogenes under control of the cauliflower-35S-promoter are reduced in size with smaller leaves, whereas aspen transgenic for the same rolC gene, but under control of the light inducible rbcS promoter from potato, are only slightly reduced in size compared to untransformed controls. However, all clones carrying 35S-rolC and rbcS-rolC genes revealed light-green colouration of leaves when compared to untransformed aspen. Owing to this special feature, constructs were used in which expression of the rolC gene was inhibited by insertion of a transposable element, Ac, from maize. Transgenic aspen transformed with the 35S-Ac-rolC and rbcS-Ac-rolC genes were morphologically similar to untransformed aspen, but out of 54 independently regenerated 35S-Ac-rolC transgenic aspen clones, 30 clones showed light-green/dark green variegated leaves. In contrast, out of 19 independently transformed rbcS-Ac-rolC aspen clones, only two clones revealed light-green/dark green variegated leaves. The role of bacterial strains in transformation, and molecular genetics of transgenic aspen plants (including the function of the transposable element, Ac, in the aspen genome) are discussed

    Notes: Abstract The nucleocapsid gene of tomato spotted wilt virus Hawaiian L isolate in a sense orientation, and the GUS and NPTII marker genes, were introduced into peanut (Arachis hypogaea cv. New Mexico Valencia A) using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Modifications to a previously defined transformation protocol reduced the time required for production of transformed peanut plants. Transgenes were stably integrated into the peanut genome and transmitted to progeny. RNA expression and production of nucleocapsid protein in transgenic peanut were observed. Progeny of transgenic peanut plants expressing the nucleocapsid gene showed a 10- to 15-day delay in symptom development after mechanical inoculations with the donor isolate of tomato spotted wilt virus. All transgenic plants were protected from systemic tomato spotted wilt virus infection. Inoculated non-transformed control plants and plants transformed with a gene cassette not containing the nucleocapsid gene became systemically infected and displayed typical tomato spotted wilt virus symptoms. These results demonstrate that protection against tomato spotted wilt virus can be achieved in transgenic peanut plants by expression of the sense RNA of the tomato spotted wilt virus nucleocapsid gene

    Notes: Abstract Resistance to bialaphos, a non-selective herbicide, was intro duced into cotton through genetic engineering. A gene encoding phosphinothric in acetyltransferase (bar) from Streptomyces hygroscopicus was inserted into elite varieties of cotton through particle bombardment. Based on the marker gene, β-glucuronidase (gus) expression, a total of 18 Pima (Gossypium barbadense), 45 DP50 (G. hirsutum L.), 20 Coker 312 (G. hirsutum) and 2 El Dorado (G. hirsutum) transgenic plants were recovered. Integration of the bar gene into cotton genomic DNA was confirmed by Southern blot analysis and gene expression was confirmed by northern blot and enzyme assays. Herbicide (Basta®) tolerance up to 15 000 ppm was demonstrated in greenhouse trials. The newly introduced herbicide tolerance trait is inherited in a Mendelian fashion in the progenies of germline transformants. This study demonstrates the potential for particle bombardment to introduce commerically important genes directly into elite varieties of cotton. This mode of gene transfer can expedite the introduction of transgenic cotton products into world markets

    Notes: Abstract An efficient protocol for Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of six commercial Brassica napus winter cultivars is described. Two B. napus spring cultivars were analysed for comparison. Five strains of A. tumefaciens with different combinations of nopaline and octopine chromosomal backgrounds and virulence plasmids were used for cocultivation. Selection of putative regenerated transgenic plants was performed on kanamycin- or hygromycin-containing media. The scores of transgenic plants were calculated on the basis of GUS (β-glucuronidase) activity, detected by the histochemical X-Gluc test. Target tissue derived from the cut surface of cotyledon petioles resulted in successful transformation with all the winter cultivars tested. Target tissue from hypocotyl segments resulted in a successful transformation with only one winter cultivar. The transformation rates for B. napus winter cultivars in this study were higher than in previous reports. Southern blot analysis revealed that integration of marker genes occurred in single and in multiple copies and at multiple loci in the genome. The transgenic plants all grew normally and developed fertile flowers after a vernalization period. After self-pollination, Southern blot analysis of selected GUS active F1 plants revealed that introduced marker genes were stably inherited to the next generation. These data demonstrate that morphologically normal, fertile transgenic plants of B. napus winter cultivars can be achieved with both nopaline- and octopine-derived A. tumefaciens strains. This protocol should have a broad application in improvement of Brassica napus winter cultivars by introduction of foreign genes

    Notes: Abstract A transient assay is described that should allow evaluation of the role of host genes in disease response by enhancing or disrupting expression of those genes in specific cells and looking for effects on disease development. The assay also has the potential for assessing utility of host and non-host genes in enhancing resistance to disease in transgenic plants. Particle bombardment with a helium discharge particle gun was utilized to transiently express genes in epidermal cells of coleoptiles of barley (Hordeum vulgare). An anthocyanin reporter gene construct provided a means of identifying those cells that were transiently expressing introduced DNA. Optimal transient expression rates were achieved two days following bombardment with 1800 psi helium pressure, 1.0 μm diameter gold particles, and coleoptile pre- and post-treatment in 0.30--0.35 m mannitol/sorbitol. Under optimal conditions, at least 35 cells expressed anthocyanin per bombardment. Transiently expressing cells were inoculated with the fungal pathogen, Erysiphe graminis f. sp. hordei, and fungal development observed. Neither the bombardment procedures, the presence of nearby dead cells, nor accumulation of anthocyanin within living cells affected fungal development in living cells. Therefore, incorporation of disease-related genes onto the same plasmid as the reporter genes will allow evaluation of the role of those genes in disease development or suppression. Since particle bombardment is possible with a great range of different plant tissues, the described methodology should exhibit wide applicability for evaluating genes in diverse plant-pathogen interactions, as well as genes involved in many other biological processes

    Notes: Abstract Ferrihydrite is a poorly-ordered iron oxyhydroxide which possesses a high specific surface area (〉200 m2/g). This makes it an important constituent for surface related processes in nature and catalysis. This study focuses on the precautions that have to be taken in the sample preparation prior to BET measurements in order to avoid essential structural transformations. The experiments showed that temperatures between 90 and 120°C are necessary to remove surface contaminations and simultaneously prevent structural transformation of the ferrihydrite during the outgassing procedure. Furthermore, care has to be taken to keep the humidity low in the immediate proximity of the sample, due to the strong impact of this parameter on the structural stability of ferrihydrite.

    Notes: Abstract Rice cultivars of isozyme group V include high-quality, aromatic rices that are difficult to improve by traditional methods because of the loss of quality characters upon sexual hybridization. Their low-tillering plant type predisposes them to economic loss from attack by stem borers, a group of insects to which they are susceptible. We report here the enhancement of stem borer resistance in cv. Tarom Molaii through transformation by microprojectile bombardment. Embryogenic calli derived from mature seeds were bombarded with gold particles coated with plasmid pCIB4421, carrying a synthetic truncated toxin gene based on the cryIA(b) gene from Bacillus thuringiensis, and plasmid pHygII, carrying the hygromycin phosphotransferase (hpt) selectable marker gene. Inclusion of 50 mg/l hygromycin B in culture media from bombardment through to rooting of plantlets eliminated escapes. The procedure generated three independent hpt transformants of which two also contained the cryIA(b) gene. One such line (No. 827) produced truncated (67 kDa) CryIA(b) protein equivalent to about 0.1% of total soluble protein. The cryIA(b) gene was controlled by the promoter of the maize C4 PEP carboxylase gene and was expressed in leaf blades but was not expressed to a detectable level in dehulled mature grain. Line 827 contained about 3 copies of the cryIA(b) gene which segregated as a single dominant Mendelian locus in the second (T1) and third (T2) generations and co-segregated with enhanced resistance to first-instar larvae of striped stem borer (Chilo suppressalis) and yellow stem borer (Scirpophaga incertulas). T2 line 827-6 homozygous for the cryIA(b) gene showed no dead hearts or whiteheads after infestation with stem borers, whereas T2 line 827-25 lacking the gene averaged 7 dead hearts per plant and 2.25 whiteheads per plant. These results establish that transformation of high-quality rices of group V is a feasible alternative to sexual hybridization.

    Notes: Abstract Transgenic plants of the rootstock Rosa hybrida L. cv. Moneyway were produced via a two-step procedure. First, kanamycin-resistant roots were generated on stem slices from micropropagated shoots, which were cocultivated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens containing the neomycin phosphotransferase II (NPTII) gene for conferring kanamycin resistance, together with individual ROL genes from A. rhizogenes. Root formation was quite efficient and up to two kanamycin-resistant roots per stem slice were produced. In the second step, these roots were used to regenerate transgenic plants via somatic embryogenesis. Although regeneration lasted up to 12 months, production of several transformants was successfully accomplished. Untransformed escapes were not found, indicating that the initial selection on kanamycin resistance was reliable. The presence of a combination of ROLA, B and C genes enhanced adventitious root formation on micropropagated shoots and explants of stems and leaves. It appears that the auxin sensitivity was increased to such a degree that cells were able to respond even to endogenous auxins present in shoots and leaves. Rooting experiments in greenhouse demonstrated that adventitious root formation on cuttings was improved threefold upon introduction of these ROL genes. It is concluded that a method was developed for the production of ROL gene transformed roses with improved rooting characteristics.

    Notes: Abstract The expression, during flower development, of the gene encoding the anthocyanin pathway key enzyme dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR) was investigated in floral organs of Forsythia × intermedia cv. ‘Spring Glory’. Full-length DFR and partial chalcone synthase (CHS) cDNAs, the gene of interest and a flavonoid pathway control gene respectively, were obtained from petal RNA by reverse transcription PCR. Whereas for CHS northern blot analysis enabled the study of its expression pattern, competitive PCR assays were necessary to quantify DFR mRNA levels in wild-type plants and in petals of 2 transgenic clones containing a CaMV 35S promoter-driven DFR gene of Antirrhinum majus. Results indicated a peak of CHS and DFR transcript levels in petals at the very early stages of anthesis, and different expression patterns in anthers and sepals. In comparison to wild-type plants, transformants showed a more intense anthocyanin pigmentation of some vegetative organs, and a dramatic increase in DFR transcript concentration and enzymatic activity in petals. However, petals of transformed plants did not accumulate any anthocyanins. These results indicate that other genes and/or regulatory factors should be considered responsible for the lack of anthocyanin production in Forsythia petals.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. Ultrasonic methods have considerable potential for the introduction of macromolecules into cells. In this paper we demonstrate that, under controlled conditions, application of 20kHz ultrasound to a suspension of yeast cells facilitates the delivery of plasmid DNA into these cells. Methods. Aliquots of growing yeast cells (Saccharomyces cerevisae, strain AH22) were suspended in buffer and exposed to 20kHz ultrasound from a laboratory (probe-type) sonicator in the presence of microgram quantities of plasmid DNA. Efficiency of DNA delivery was scored as the number of cells transformed. Results. Cell transformation was optimal at 30 seconds sonication using an output of 2.0 watts and resulted in a 20 fold enhancement over control values. At extended sonication times, fewer cells showed evidence of transformation because of reduced cell viability. The increased DNA uptake and the decreased cell viability were both attributable to acoustic cavitation events during sonication. The extent of acoustic cavitation was measured and it was found that there was an increase in cavitation events with increased sonication time. Cell viability was shown to be directly related to the number of cavitation events. The effects of sonication on plasmid DNA were investigated and indicated that the structural integrity of plasmid DNA was unaffected by the sonication conditions employed. Conclusions. Under controlled conditions, ultrasound is an effective means of delivering plasmid DNA into cells. The subsequent expression of DNA molecules in cells depends upon a balance between transient cell damage and cell death.

    Notes: Abstract Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) lines transformed with the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase gene (CP4 EPSPS) from Agrobacterium sp. CP4 and a glyphosate oxidase reductase gene (GOX) also isolated from bacteria resulted in the development of lines highly tolerant to glyphosate. Glyphosate (N-phosphonomethyl-glycine) is the active ingredient in Roundup®, herbicide. The EPSPS enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids. Glyphosate binds irreversible to the EPSPS and inhibits the pathway. GOX degrades glyphosate into non-toxic compounds. 260 independent transformants have been evaluated in greenhouse and field trials for tolerance to Roundup® in 1993 and 1994. Variation of tolerance was recorded between different transformants, ranging from complete susceptibility to full tolerance. The Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation resulted in a negative correlation between copy number of the T-DNA insert and the level of tolerance to the herbicide. Transformants which contain a single copy insert showed tolerance to higher doses of glyphosate than transformants with multiple copies. Two transgenic lines were identified that showed agronomically useful tolerance to glyphosate.

    Notes: Abstract The work outlines the isolation of transformant Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells that appear to be unable to repair Photosystem II from photoinhibitory damage. A physiological and biochemical characterization of three mutants is presented. The results show differential stability for the D1 reaction center protein in the three mutants compared to the wild type and suggest lesions that affect different aspects of the Photosystem II repair mechanism. In the ag16.2 mutant, significantly greater amounts of D1 accumulate in the thylakoid membrane than in the wild type under steady-state growth conditions, and D1 loss is significantly retarded in the presence of the protein biosynthesis inhibitor chloramphenicol. Moreover, aberrant electrophoretic mobility of D1 in the ag16.2 suggests that this protein is modified to an as yet unknown configuration. These results indicate that the biosynthesis and/or degradation of D1 is altered in this strain. A different type of mutation occurred in the kn66.7 and kn27.4 mutants of C. reinhardtii. The stability of D1 declined much faster as a function of light intensity in these mutants than in the wild type. Thereby, the threshold of photoinhibition in these mutants was significantly lower than that in the wild type. It appears that kn66.7 and kn27.4 are similar conditional mutants, with the only difference between them being the amplitude of the chloroplast response to the mutation and the differential sensitivity they display to the level of irradiance.

    Notes: Abstract Root explants from in vitro-grown plants of Anthurium andraeanum ‘Alii’ and Anthurium interspecific hybrid ‘UH1060’ readily produced multiple shoots under weak light on a modified Murashige & Skoog medium containing 2.2 μM BA. Regenerated ‘UH1060’ plants grew normally and flowered within 16 months after transfer to the greenhouse. Cocultivation of root cuttings with Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 carrying the binary vector pCa2Att resulted in kanamycin-resistant ‘Anuenue’ shoots transgenic for neo and att and recovered more than one year after culture on selection media. Transformation efficiency (number of explants with transgenic shoots per total explants) was 1.3%. Other cultivars (‘UH1003’, ‘UH1060’, ‘Rudolph’, and ‘Mauna Kea’) failed to produce shoots under the transformation condition employed.

    Notes: Abstract Hairy root cultures of grapevine were obtained from plantlets co-inoculated by virulent Agrobacterium rhizogenes strains and disarmed A. tumefaciens strains harbouring the binary vectors pKHG4 and pKVHG 2+. These plasmids contain the nptII, hpt and gus genes and differ for the presence of the gene encoding for the grapevine chrome mosaic virus coat protein. For the cultivar ‘Gravesac’, 72% of the excised root tips initiated hairy root cultures on growth regulator-free media. According to the nature of the strains used in co-inoculation, co-transformation frequencies of the hairy root clones ranged from 4 to 16%. Co-transformed roots showed resistance to kanamycin and hygromycin but responses varied from clone to clone. Fluorometric GUS expression and GCMV coat protein production showed a large variability among hairy root clones co-transformed by pKHVG2+. Though the presence of gus, nptII and GCMV coat protein genes was checked by polymerase chain reaction and Southern blotting, it was difficult to establish a clear relationship between expression of the different transgenes. The regeneration of plants was not achieved, but the possibility to graft in vitro transgenic roots to non transformed shoot systems could permit rapid testing of the resistance induced by nepovirus coat protein in roots of cultivars that are recalcitrant to A. tumefaciens-mediated transformation.

    Notes: Abstract We have cloned and characterized the white gene of Anopheles albimanus. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of this white gene with its homologs from six species of Diptera show that the An. albimanus gene is most similar to the white gene of An. gambiae (92% identity). A spontaneous white-eyed mutant An. albimanus was caused by an approximately 10 kb insertion into a CT dinucleotide repeat region of intron 2 of the white locus. The flanks of this insertion are long (at least 400 bp), nearly perfect inverted terminal repeat sequences. This cloned white gene should be useful as a marker for germ line transformation of An. albimanus.

    Notes: Abstract The early region 1A (E1A) gene of highly oncogenic adenovirus type 12 (Ad12) was analyzed for transforming activity and protein binding using specific mutations. The Ad12 E1A proteins were found to bind p300 protein mainly within the CR1 region, although mutations that affect both p300 binding and transformation were identified in both the CR1 and the N-terminal region. The most critical mutation dlf89 located in the CR1 region was further dissected by point mutations and the results identified 68S as the most critical for transformation and 67E as the most critical for p300 binding. Specific mutations that retain p300 binding but impair transcriptional repression of a viral enhancer were also identified in both the N-terminal and CR1 regions.

    Notes: Abstract A prerequisite for the development of a successful transformation system is the availability of efficient regeneration systems. Up to 1995 the only available regeneration system in cassava was an organized type of somatic embryogenesis. Transformation of these organized somatic embryogenic cultures with particle bombardment or Agrobacterium tumefaciens resulted in chimeric transformed embryos. However, the transformed sector was lost after repeated cycles of secondary somatic embryogenesis. After 1995 a less organized system of somatic embryogenesis was developed, so called friable embryogenic callus (FEC) and a system of adventitious shoot regeneration. The FEC regeneration system was combined successfully with particle bombardment. Selection of transgenic plants was based on either luciferase activity, or resistance to the aminoglycoside paromomycin or the herbicide phosphinothricin. Furthermore, protoplasts of FEC are able to regenerate into plants and can be transformed by electroporation. The adventitious shoot regeneration system was combined successfully with Agrobacterium tumefaciens. For this mature somatic embryos were cocultivated with Agrobacterium and cultured for adventitious shoot development. After selection based on the aminoglycoside geneticin or on hygromycin transgenic plants were formed.

    Notes: Abstract Agrobacterium tumefaciens has been routinely utilized in gene transfer to dicotyledonous plants, but monocotyledonous plants including important cereals were thought to be recalcitrant to this technology as they were outside the host range of crown gall. Various challenges to infect monocotyledons including rice with Agrobacterium had been made in many laboratories, but the results were not conclusive until recently. Efficient transformation protocols mediated by Agrobacterium were reported for rice in 1994 and 1996. A key point in the protocols was the fact that tissues consisting of actively dividing, embryonic cells, such as immature embryos and calli induced from scutella, were co-cultivated with Agrobacterium in the presence of acetosyringonc, which is a potent inducer of the virulence genes. It is now clear that Agrobacterium is capable of transferring DNA to monocotyledons if tissues containing ‘competent’ cells are infected. The studies of transformation of rice suggested that numerous factors including genotype of plants, types and ages of tissues inoculated, kind of vectors, strains of Agrobacterium, selection marker genes and selective agents, and various conditions of tissue culture, are of critical importance. Advantages of the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation in rice, like on dicotyledons, include the transfer of pieces of DNA with defined ends with minimal rearrangements, the transfer of relatively large segments of DNA, the integration of small numbers of copies of genes into plant chromosomes, and high quality and fertility of transgenic plants. Delivery of foreign DNA to rice plants via A. tumefaciens is a routine technique in a growing number of laboratories. This technique will allow the genetic improvement of diverse varieties of rice, as well as studies of many aspects of the molecular biology of rice.

No available Hg could be detected (〈2.5 μg kg−1) in alluvial soil when the content of HA-carbon (HA-C) was higher than 0.2 g kg−1 although a large amount of Hg (8 μg kg−1) was applied to the soil. The available Hg decreased with the increase of HA in purple soil (r=0.735). There are significant correlations between HA concentration and organic Hg in the tested soils (r=0.974 for the purple soil and r=0.979 for the alluvial soil). The increase of HA results in decrease of Hg absorbed by plant from the soil. A loss of Hg from soil caused by microbes was observed.

    Notes: Abstract The presence of phosphate retards the transformation of ferrihydrite into crystalline products. Increasing phosphate from 0 to 1 mole % results in an order of magnitude decrease in the rate of transformation of ferrihydrite at pH 12. Levels of phosphate of ∼1 mol % suppress the formation of goethite (α-FeO(OH)) and result in the formation of a product consisting of η-Fe2O3. Higher levels of phosphate result in the ferrihydrite remaining amorphous, even after several hundred hours. Phosphate prevents formation of goethite by hindering the dissolution of ferrihydrite rather than by interfering with nucleation and growth of goethite in solution. The transformation rate of pure ferrihydrite is also strongly inhibited in the presence of dissolved phosphate. This is due to surface complexation. The transformation rate was measured at temperatures of 60 °C and 70 °C. The rate of transformation was found to be described by either (i) a solid-state reaction equation for powdered compacts or (ii) a zero-order reaction controlled by desorption. The transformation of the ferrihydrite matrix was accompanied by the loss of the phosphate trace component. X-ray diffraction indicates that no solid solution involving phosphate substitution into η-Fe2O3 is formed. Transmission electron microphotographs of the original precipitates containing phosphate confirm the presence of the phosphate and demonstrate its involvement in linking together extremely small particles of ferrihydrite.

    Notes: Two new enantioselective syntheses of the naphthopyranquinone antibiotic frenolicin B (1), of its enantiomer 2, and of its diastereoisomers 3 and 4 were accomplished using two different routes from optically active β-Hydroxy esters (R)- and (S)-11 and 18. β-Hydroxy esters (R)- and (S)-11 were prepared stereoselectively from optically active sulfenylacetates (S)- and (R)-10, respectively (Scheme 2, Method A). Alternatively, compound 18 was obtained in excellent yield by enantioselective hydrogenation of the corresponding β-keto ester 17, using a chiral ruthenium-complex catalyst (Scheme 3, Method B). Subsequently, compounds (S)-11 and 18 were transformed into frenolicin B (1). In analogy, Stereoisomers 2-4 were prepared from (S)- and (R)-11 in good yields.

    Notes: The 2′-deoxyisoguanosine phosphonates 3a and 4a and the phosphoramidites 3b and 4b were prepared as building blocks for solid-phase oligonucleotide synthesis. The diphenylcarbamoyl (dpc) residue was introduced as 2-oxo protecting group which stabilizes the N-glycosylic bond against hydrolysis and prevents the molecule from side reactions. The dpc-protected building blocks 4a, b were employed in solid-phase synthesis and were found to be much more efficient than the unprotected compounds 3a, b. Oligonucleotides with alternating (11) or consecutive isoguanine residues (13-15) were synthesized. They form duplexes with parallel chain orientation. The aggregate d(T4-iG4-T4) (15) containing four consecutive 2′-deoxyisoguanosine is shown to be a tetramer similar to that of d(T4-G4-T4).

The omittance of the ethano bridge of the tricyclic khusimone leads to a bicyclic system. The stereoselective approach to this degraded structure is described, and the olfactory properties are studied. The key step of the synthesis of the hydrindane nucleus is based on a highly diastereoselective conjugate addition to a chiral oxo-cyclopentene-2-carboxylate.

    Notes: The (2-dansylethoxy)carbonyl (= {2-{[5-(dimethylamino)naphthalen-l-yl]sulfonyl}ethoxy}carbonyl; dnseoc) group was employed for protection of the amino functions of the aglycone residues. The lactam function of 2′-deoxyguanosine was on the one hand unprotected and on the other hand alkylated at O6 of the aglycone with the 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl (npe) and 2-(phenylsulfonyl)ethyl (pse) group, respectively. The syntheses of monomeric building blocks, both phosphoramidites and nucleoside- functionalized supports, are described for the three common 2′-deoxynucleosides (2′-deoxycytidine, 2′-deoxyadenosine, 2′-deoxyguanosine). As kinetic studies with the tritylated nucleosides showed, the dnseoc group is more labile towards DBU cleavage than the corresponding 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl-(npe) and [2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethoxy]carbonyl(npeoc)-protected analogues (see Table 2). These results were confirmed by the very fast deprotection rate of the dnseoc groups at some oligonucleotides.

    Notes: The synthesis of π-substituted heptalenecarboxylates or -dicarboxylates, starting with the easily available dimethyl 9-isopropyl-1, 6-dimethylheptalene-4, 5-dicarboxylate (2b), are described. Treatment of 2b with t-BuOK and C2Cl6 at -78° leads to the chemoselective introduction of a Cl substituent in Me-C(1) (see 5b in Scheme 1). Formation of the corresponding triphenylphosphonium salt 7b via the iodide 6b (Scheme 2) allowed a Wittig reaction with cinnamaldehyde in the two-phase system CH2Cl2/2N NaOH. Transformation of the 4, 5-dicar-boxylate of 2b into the corresponding pseudo-ester 10b allowed the selective reduction of the carbonyl function at C(4) with DIBAH to yield the corresponding 4-carbaldehyde 11b (Scheme 3). Wittig reaction of 11b with (benzyl) triphenylphosphonium bromide led to the introduction of the 4-phenylbuta-1, 3-dienyl substituent at C(4). The combination of both Wittig reactions led to the synthesis of the 1, 4-bis(4-phenylbuta-1, 3-dienyl)-substituted heptalene-5-carboxylate (all-E)-17b (Scheme 5). In a similar manner, by applying a Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction, followed by the Wittig reaction, the donor-acceptor substituted heptalene-5-carboxylate (E;E)-22b was synthesized (Scheme7). Most of these new heptalenes are in solution, at room temperature, in thermal equilibrium with their double-bond shifted (DBS) isomers. In the case of (all-E)-17b and (E;E)-22b, irradiation of the thermal equilibrium mixture with light of λ -(439 ± 10) nm led to a strong preponderance ( 〉 90%) of the DBS isomers 17a and (E;E)-22a, respectively (Schemes 6 and 7). Heating of the photo-mixtures at 40° re-established quickly the thermal equilibrium mixtures. Heptalenes-carboxylates (all-E)-17a and (E;E)-22a which represent the off-state of a 1,4-conjugative switch (CS) system show typical heptalene UV/VIS spectra with a bathochromically shifted heptalene band III and comparably weak heptalene bands II and I which appear only as shoulders (Figs. 4 and 5). In contrast, the DBS isomers (all-E)-17b and (all-E)-22b, equivalent to the on-state of a 1,4-CS system, exhibit extremely intense heptalene bands I and, possibly, II which appear as a broad absorption band at 440 and 445 nm, respectively, thus indicating that the CSs (all-E)-17a⇌(all-E)-17b and (E;E)-22a⇌(E;E)-22b are perfectly working.

A New Type of Molecular Dynamics in Macrocyclic SystemsThe [28]tetraoxaporphyrinoids(4.2.4.2) 6 are synthesized by cyclizing Wittig reaction of (E, E)-5, 5′-(buta-1, 3-diene-1, 4-diyl)bis[furan-2-carbaldehyde] (8) with (E, E)-{(buta-1, 3-diene-diyl)bis[(furan-5, 2-diyl)methylene]}bis-[triphenylphosphonium] dibromide (9) and 3, 3′-{[(E)-ethene-1, 2-diyl]bis(furan-5, 2-diyl)}bis[(E)-prop-2-enal] (22) with (E)-{(ethene-1, 2-diyl)bis[(furan-5.2- diy)methylene]}bis[triphenylphosphonium] dibromide (23). An alternative path to get 6 is the McMurry condensation of 8. Four different configurational isomers of 6 could be isolated and characterized by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The (Z, EE, Z, EE)-isomer 6a is the first macrocyclic system where the inner and outer protons of the (E, E)-dienediyl bridges exchange by rotation around the adjacent single bonds. In the (Z, EE, E, EE)-isomer 6b, the (E)-ethenediyl bridge is rotationally active, while in the (E, ZE, E, EZ)-isomer 6c and in the (E, EZ, E, EZ)-isomer 6e, the rotation of both (E)-ethenediyl bridges is observed. When in the dynamic systems the rotation of the active (E)-double bonds at temperatures T 〈 -90° is frozen, all configurational isomers of 6 appear to be antiaromatic and paratropic. The oxidation of the [28]tetraoxaporphyrinoids 6c and 6e with DDQ yields the aromatic, diatropic [26]tetraoxaporphyrin(4.2.4.2) dications 21e/21e′ both with (E, EZ, E, EZ)-configuration but different fixed conformations. (Z, EE, Z, EE)-Isomer 6a is oxidized to give the (Z, EE, Z, EE)-dication 21a, while the oxidation of 6b yields a mixture of 21a and 21e/21e′. The standard formation enthalpies of the obtained and expected [28]tetraoxaporphyrinoids 6 and [26]tetraoxaporphyrin dications 21 have been calculated with the AM1 method, showing good accordance with the experimental results.

    Notes: The synthesis of substituted cyclododeca-1,6-diallenes.( = cyclododeca-1,2,6,7-tetraenes) from cyclododeca-5,11-diyne-1,4-diols is described (Schemes 1 and 3). The ca. 1:1 mixtures of the stereoisomers of the cyclododeca-1,6-diallenes were formed in high yields from the ca. 1:1 diastereoisomer mixtures of the 1,4-disubstituted cyclododeca-5,11-diynes by reactions with Me2CuLi or t-BuMgCl/CuII. In mechanistically relevant experiments with the pure diastereoisomers of 1,4-dimethylcyclododeca-5,11-diyne-1,4-diol, it is demonstrated that the configuration is conserved in these reactions. The first synthesis of a 1-substituted cyclododeca-2,8-diyne bearing only one propargylic leaving group gives access to a mixed 12-membered allen-yne (Scheme 5).

    Notes: This study was designed to unravel lipophilicity changes associated with the oxidation state of the S-atom in model compounds, drugs, and metabolites, special attention being given both to intermolecular and intramolecular effects. The methods used were experimental (potentiometry, CPC, and shake-flask techniques to measure lipophilicity, 13C-NMR spectroscopy to investigate tautomeric equilibria) and computational (quenched molecular dynamics and molecular lipophilicity potential). Simple, monofunctional model compounds were used to assess intermolecular forces, as revealed by the Δlog Poct-alk and Δlog Poct-chf parameters. Drugs and their metabolites proved to be good probes to study intramolecular effects in both neutral and anionic forms, as revealed by the difference between calculated and experimental log Poct values (the diff(log Pexp-calc) parameter). Sulindac and its metabolites showed a normal partitioning behavior, whereas the lipophilicity of sulfmpyrazone and its metabolites' was markedly affected by tautomeric and conformational equilibria.

    Notes: The synthesis of (E)-hex-3-ene-l, 5-diynes and 3-methylidenepenta-1, 4-diynes with pendant methano[60]-fullerene moieties as precursors to C60-substituted poly(triacetylenes) (PTAs, Fig. 1) and expanded radialenes (Fig. 2) is described. The Bingel reaction of diethyl (E)-2, 3-dialkynylbut-2-ene-1, 4-diyl bis(2-bromopropane-dioates) 5 and 6 with two C60 molecules (Scheme 2) afforded the monomeric, silyl-protected PTA precursors 9 and 10 which, however, could not be effectively desilylated (Scheme 4). Also formed during the synthesis of 9 and 10, as well as during the reaction of C60 with thedesilylated analogue 16 (Scheme 5), were the macrocyclic products 11, 12, and 17, respectively, resulting from double Bingel addition to one C-sphere. Rigorous analysis revealed that this novel macrocyclization reaction proceeds with complete regio- and diastereoselectivity. The second approach to a suitable PTA monomer attempted N, N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide(DCC)-mediated esterification of (E)-2, 3-diethynylbut-2-ene-l, 4-diol (18, Scheme 6) with mono-esterified methanofullerene-dicarboxylic acid 23; however, this synthesis yielded only the corresponding decarboxylated methanofullerene-carboxylic ester 27 (Scheme 7). To prevent decarboxylation, a spacer was inserted between the reacting carboxylic-acid moiety and the methane C-atom in carboxymethyl ethyl 1, 2-methano[60]fullerene-61, 61-dicarboxylate (28, Scheme 8), and DCC-mediated esterification with diol 18 afforded PTA monomer 32 in good yield. The formation of a suitable monomeric precursor 38 to C60-substituted expanded radialenes was achieved in 5 steps starting from dihydroxyacetone (Schemes 9 and 10), with the final step consisting of the DCC-mediated esterification of 28 with 2-[1-ethynyl(prop-2-ynylidene)]propane-1, 3-diol (33). The first mixed C60-C70 fullerene derivative 49, consisting of two methano[60]fullerenes attached to a methano[70]fullerene, was also prepared and fully characterized (Scheme 13). The Cs-symmetrical hybrid compound was obtained by DCC-mediated esterification of bis[2-(2-hydroxy-ethoxy)ethyl] 1, 2-methano[70]fullerene-71, 71-dicarboxylate (46) with an excess of the C60-carboxylic acid 28. The presence of two different fullerenes in the same molecule was reflected by its UV/VIS spectrum, which displayed the characteristic absorption bands of both the C70 and C60 mono-adducts, but at the same time indicated no electronic interaction between the different fullerene moieties. Cyclic voltammetry showed two reversible reduction steps for 49, and comparison with the corresponding C70 and C60 mono-adducts 46 and 30 indicated that the three fullerenes in the composite fullerene compound behave as independent redox centers.

    Notes: By the tether-directed remote functionalization method, a series of bis- to hexakis-adducts of C60, i.e., 1-7 (Fig. 1), had previously been prepared with high regioselectivity. An efficient method for the removal of the tether-reactive-group conjugate was now developed and its utility demonstrated in the regioselective synthesis of bis- to tetrakis(methano)fullerenes ( = di- to tetracyclopropafullerenes-C60-Ih) 9-11 starting from 4, 5, and 7, respectively (Schemes 2, 4, and 5). This versatile protocol consists of a 1O2 ene reaction with the two cyclohexene rings in the starting materials, reduction of the formed mixture of isomeric allylic hydroperoxides to the corresponding alcohols, acid-promoted elimination of H2O to cyclohexa-1,3-dienes, Diels-Alder addition of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, retro-Diels-Alder addition, and, ultimately, transesterification. In the series 9-11, all methano moieties are attached along an equatorial belt of the fullerene. Starting from C2v-symmetrical tetrakis-adduct 15, transesterification with dodecan-1-ol or octan-1-ol yielded the octaesters 16 and 17, respectively, as noncrystalline fullerene derivatives (Scheme 3). The X-ray crystal structure of a CHCl3 solvate of 11 (Fig. 3) showed that the residual conjugated π-chromophore of the C-sphere is reduced to two tetrabenzopyracylene substructures connected by four biphenyl-type bonds (Fig. 5). In the eight six-membered rings surrounding the two pyracylene (= cyclopent[fg]acenaphthylene) moieties, 6-6 and 6-5 bond-length alteration (0.05 Å) was reduced by ca. 0.01 Å as compared to the free C60 skeleton (0.06 Å) (Fig. 4). The crystal packing (Fig. 6) revealed short contacts between Cl-atoms of the solvent molecule and sp2- and sp3-C-atoms of the C-sphere, as well as short contacts between Cl-atoms and O-atoms of the EtOOC groups attached to the methano moieties of 11. The physical properties and chemical reactivity of compounds 1-11 were comprehensively investigated as a function of degree and pattern of addition and the nature of the addends. Methods applied to this study were UV/VIS (Figs. 7-11), IR, and NMR spectroscopy (Table 2), cyclic (CV) and steady-state (SSV) voltammetry (Table 1), calculations of the energies of the lowest uunoccupied mmolecular orbitals (LUMOs) and electron affinities (Figs. 12 and 13), and evaluation of chemical reactivity in competition experiments. It was found that the properties of the fullerene derivatives were not only affected by the degree and pattern of addition but also, in a remarkable way, by the nature of the addends (methano vs. but-2-ene-1, 4-diyl) anellated to the C-sphere. Attachment of multiple thano moieties along an equatorial belt as in the series 8-11 induces only a small perturbation of the original fullerene π-chromophore. In general, with increasing attenuation of the conjugated fullerene π-chromophore, the optical (HOMO-LUMO) gap in the UV/VIS spectrum is shifted to higher energy, the number of reversible one-electron reductions decreases, and the first reduction potential becomes increasingly negative, the computed LUMO energy increases and the electron affinity decreases, and the reactivity of the fullerene towards nucleophiles and carbenes and as dienophile in cycloadditions decreases.

    Notes: Crystal and solution structures of the enantiomerically pure and the racemic pairs of (η3-allyl) {2-[2′-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]-4,5-dihydro-4-phenyloxazole}palladium(II) hexafluorophosphates (1, and rac-1, resp.) and tetraphenylborates (2, and rac-2, resp.) as well as (η3-allyl){2-[2′-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]-4,5-dihydro-4-isopropyloxazole}palladium(II) tetraphenylborate (3) were characterized by X-ray crystallography and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. In the solid state, rac-1 and rac-2 proved to be disordered with both diastereoisomeric complexes in the crystal. The complexes 2 and 3 exist only in the ‘exo’ form. The X-ray structures show that the [PdII(η3-allyl)] moiety may adopt different configurations between a nearly symmetrical three-electron PdII(π3-allyl) system and an asymmetrical allyl group with a η1- and a η2-bonding to the metal center. The [PdII(η3-allyl)] system of rac-1 and of ‘endo’ rac-2 is closer to the former, and that of 2, ‘exo’-rac-2, and 3 closer to the later geometry. The 1H-NMR spectra of the hexafluorophosphates 1 and rac-1 show two sets of signals of the allylic protons in an ‘exo’/‘endo’ ratio of 2:3. The tetraphenylborates 2, rac-2, and 3 give only one set of broad signals of the allylic protons.

    Notes: ‘Acetyleno-oligosaccharides’ in which two terminal ethynyl substituents enclose an angle (significantly) below 180° are building blocks for the preparation of cyclodextrin analogues. This is illustrated by the preparation of a cyclotrimer and a cyclotetramer; the C3-symmetrical cyclotrimer 18 (Scheme 1) was synthesized in 13 steps (7.7%) and the C4-symmetrical cyclotetramer 51 (Scheme 3) in 14 steps (4.3%) from the known dialkyne 21. The solubilities of 18 and 51 in H2O were determined by gravimetry; a saturated solution is 130 mM in the trimer 18 and 12.8 mM in the tetramer 51. The dependence of the optical rotation of 18 and 51 in H2O on the concentration, and the concentration dependence of the 1H-NMR chemical shift of the signals of the 1CH groups of 51 (D2O) suggest that there is no significant self-association of 18 and 51.

    Notes: The chiral biyclic bis-lactams of structures 3 and 4 were synthesized from the key intermediate 2′b, the N,N′-bis(4-methoxybenzyl) derivative of 2 (X = MeO) (Scheme 6). The synthesis of this intermediate involved two key steps: (1) a double condensation of glyoxylic acid/anisamide (= oxoacetic acid/4-methoxybenzamide) adduct 11c with veratrole (1,2-dimethoxybenzene; 10) allowed the introduction of two glycine units at the 4,5-positions of the veratrole ring to give 18c (Schemes 3 and 4); (2) in order to circumvent the hydrolysis of 4-methoxybenzoyl protective groups which proved to be unfeasible, these groups were transformed into 4-methoxybenzyl groups through a sequence involving thiocarbonylation followed by reduction (Scheme 5). Thereafter, the double intramolecular cyclization of the resulting diamino diester 22c proceeded easily to afford 2′b. This intermediate may be transformed via the tetrol 2′g or the diol 2′h into the N-protected derivatives of 2 (X = OR) and of 3 (X = OCOR). Cleavage of the 4-alkuxybenzyl groups was achieved by ceric ammonium nitrate. However, when the aromatic ring bore ether functions (N-protected 2), this normal reaction was accompanied by the oxidative ring cleavage to give the diene-diester structure 4 (Schemes 5 and 6).

    Notes: The kinetics of the Cu2+ complexation by macrocycles 1 (4-[(l,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradec-1-yl)methyl]-benzoic acid) and 2 (N-propyl-4-[(1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradec-1-yl)methyl]-benzamide) as well as by macrocycle 1 conjugated to bovine serum albumin (bsa) and to ribonuclease A (rnase) were studied by stopped flow techniques. For 1 and 2, the kinetics were followed in the mM range monitoring the d-d* absorption band of the Cu2+ complex. From the pH dependence of kobs, the rate law is v = [Cu2+] (kLH[LH] + kLH2[LH2]), where kLH and kLK2 are the bimolecular rate constants for Cu2+ with the diprotonated (LH2) and monoprotonated (LH1) form of the ligand, respectively. The values are kLH2 = 1.7(1) M-1s-1 and kLH = 2.3(1) 105 M-1s-1 for 1, and kLH2, = 0.28(9) M-1s-1 and kLH = 2.0(1) 105 M-1s-1 for 2. The kinetics of the Cu2+ incorporation into 1,2 and 1 conjugated to bsa and rnase, i.e., 3 and 4, respectively, were also followed using nitroso-R salt as a metal indicator in the μM range, i.e., under conditions typical for the ‘post-labeling’ technique to give radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies. In these cases, the reaction takes place between the 1:1 complex of Cu2+ with nitroso-R-salt and the macrocycle. At pH 6.5, the rates are very similar to each other indicating that the complexation properties of the macrocycle attached to a protein are not very different from those of the free ligand under comparable conditions.

    Notes: The synthesis of a variety of hydroxylactams from ω-phthalimidoalkanoates using a triplet-sensitized photodecarboxylation reaction initiated by intramolecular photo electron transfer is described. Ring sizes available by this method span from 4 (benzazepine-1,5-dione 7) to 26 (cyclodipeptide 26e). Ground-state template formation is proposed as the explanation for the high efficiency of this reaction and for the decrease in reactivity in the presence of organic bases instead of metal carbonates. The crucial step in this macrocyclization reaction seems to be the protonation of the intermediary ketyl radials (Scheme 4). Spacer groups investigated were alkyl chains (C3-C11: 5c-h, 11a, 12), ether (16, 18), ester (20, 22), and amide (26a-f) linkages. Within the detection limits, no dimeric (= decarboxylative coupling) products were observed, indicating the high preference for intra-vs. intermolecular photoelectron transfer. The C,C radical combination step proceeds with low stereoselectivity (cf, products 11 and 12) in contrast to comparable singlet reactions. Except for the lactones 22, all products were stable under the photolysis conditions. Prolonged irradiation of 22 led to the formation of the spiro compounds 23, probably via an intermediary acyliminium betaine (Scheme 8). One serious limitation of the decarboxylative macrocyclization is its incompatibility with the glycine spacer (as in 27a and 27b), probably the consequence of a strong intramolecular H-bond (Scheme 10).

    Notes: A novel tricyclic dipeptide template, formally derived by coupling (2S,4S)-4-aminoproline (Pro(NH2)) and (S)-2-(carboxymethyl)proline (Pro(CH2COOH)) as a diketopiperazine, has been synthesized in a form suitable for solid-phase peptide synthesis using Fmoc chemistry. This template was incorporated into the cyclic molecule cyclo(-Ala1-Asn2-Pro3-Asn4-Ala5-Ala6-Temp-) (Temp = template), whose conformation in H2O was studied by NMR methods. Average solution structures derived by restrained simulated annealing point to a highly populated βI-turn within the Asn-Pro-Asn-Ala motif and also indicate which conformations are likely to be preferred by the template.

    Notes: The syntheses of both diastereoisomers of 5′-ethyl-substituted thymidine dimers, the (5′R)- and (5′S)-configurated 33a and 33b respectively, in which the natural phosphodiester linkage is replaced by an amide group (C(3′)-CH2CONH-CH(5′)(Et)), arc described. Their fully protected derivatives 35a and 35b, respectively, are suitable for incorporation into antisense oligonucleotides. Unexpectedly, an attempted PdII-catalysed aza-Claisen rearrangement of trichloroacetimidate 7 provided the diastereoisomerically pure cyclopropane derivative 17, whose structure was confirmed by X-ray analysis.

    Notes: New Pathways to Precursors of PentalenePentalene dimers 2 and 3 are easily available in moderate yields by CuCl2-induced oxidative coupling of dilithium-pentalenediide (5) (Scheme 1). On the other hand, NBS bromination of 1,5-dihydropentalene (4) or of 1,2-dihydropentalene (8) gives unstable 1-bromo-1,2-dihydropentalene (9), while subsequent in-situ elimination with Et3N exclusively gives syn-cis-pentalene dimer 2 in moderate yields (Scheme 3). NMR-Spectroscopic evidence for compounds 2, 3, and 9 is presented, and mechanistic alternatives for the formation of pentalene dimers 2 and 3 are discussed.

    Notes: Four new iridoid glucosides 1-4, named blumeosides A-D, were isolated from the methanolic stem-bark extract of Fagraea blumei G. DON. (Loganiaceae). They were accompanied by the benzyl-alcohol derivative di-O-methylcrenatin (5) and the flavone C-glucoside swertisin (6). The structures of 1-4 were established by spectroscopic methods, including FAB-MS, and 1H- and 13C-NMR, and by alkaline hydrolysis. Blumeosides A (1) and C (3) are 10-O-(2,5-dihydroxytercphthalo) adoxosidic acid and 10-O-(2-hydroxyterephthalo)adoxosidic acid, respectively. In blumeosides B (4) and D (2), both carboxylic groups of the terephthalic-acid moiety are esterified by adoxosidic-acid units, Blumeosides A-D (1-4) inhibited bleaching of crocin induced by alkoxyl radicals. Blumeosides A (1) and D (2) also demonstrated scavenging properties towards the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hvdrazvl (CDPPH) radical in TLC autographic and spectrophotometric assays.

    Notes: The kinetic model of column chromatography is revisited to explicitly show that this approach yields, when neglecting axial dispersion, a rather simple analytical expression depending only on two dimensionless parameters, namely a dimensionless kinetic retention parameter and a dimensionless time parameter. An expression for the time corresponding to the maximum of the peak is also proposed.

It has been shown that structures of the sequence cyclo(-Arg1-Gly2-Asp3-D-Phe4-Xaa5-) (I) and cyclo(-Arg1-Gly2-Asp3-Phe4-D-Xaa5-) (II) bind with high affinity and the latter with high selectivity to this receptor. The residues Xaa and D-Xaa accept a broad variety of amino acids. Here, we report on the synthesis, activities, and conformational analysis of cyclic Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptides containing liophilic amino acids Xaa or D-Xaa in position 5. For I, these were (2S)-2-aminohexadecanoic acid (Ahd) and N′-hexadecylglycine (Hd-Gly) and in II, D-Ahd and Hd-Gly, and, for control purposes, Ahd were incorporated (Fig. 1). The enantiomerically pure a-amino acids were obtained by non-enantioselective synthesis and subsequent enzymatic separation of isomers using acylase I (Scheme). Hd-Gly was prepared in a modified procedure according to Stewart from ethyl bromoacetate and hexadecylamine (Scheme). The synthesis and physicochemical properties of the corresponding (9H-fluoren-9-ylmethoxy)carbonyl (Fmoc) derivatives, compatible with solid-phase peptide synthesis, are described. Structure elucidation by NMR reveals that the lipid modification has no significant impact on the template structures when incorporated into them. For peptides I with Xaa = Ahd or Hd-Gly (1 or 2), a βII′/γ-turn-like arrangement with D-Phe in i+1 position of the β-turn is found. Peptides II with D-Xaa = D-Ahd or Hd-Gly (3 or 4) exhibit a βII′/γ-turn conformation with Gly in i+1 position of the β-turn, whereas II with Ahd instead of D-Xaa, i.e., lacking a D-amino acid in position 4 or 5 (5). adopts no defined conformation. However, in assays of receptor specificity employing human αvv/β3 integrin, the compounds exhibit IC50 values ranging from nanomolar to less than millimolar. These results indicate that although the arrangement of the pharmacophoric groups is preserved in the target compounds, the biological activity is highly dependent on spatial requirements of the lipid anchor in the receptor binding pocket. Obviously, only certain positions do not affect the binding.

    Notes: The conformational analysis of naturally occurring cytostatic cyclic heptapeptides axinastatin 2, 3, and 4 was carried out by two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy in combination with distance-geometry (DG) and molecular-dynamics (MD) calculations in explicit solvents. The synthesized secondary metabolites were examined in (D6)DMSO. Axinastatin 2 was also investigated in CD3OH. In all structures, Pro2 is in the i + 1 position of a βI turn and Pro6 occupies the i + 2 position of a βVIa turn about the cis amide bond between residue 5 and Pro6. In all peptides, a bifurcated H-bond occurs between residue 4 CO and the amide protons of residue 1 and 7. For axinastatin 2 and 3, an Asn Ig turn was found about Asn1 and Pro2. We compared these structures with conformations of cyclic heptapeptides obtained by X-ray and NMR studies. A β-bulge motif with two β turns and one bifurcated H-bond is found as the dominating backbone conformation of cyclic all-L-heptapeptides. Axinastatin 2, 3, and 4 can be characterized by six trans and one cis amide bond resulting in a β/βVI(a)-turn motif, a conformation found for many cyclic heptapeptides. Detailed biological tests of the synthetic compounds in different human cancer cell lines indicates these axinastatins to be inactive or of low activity.

    Notes: In the presence of activating agents, the N-acylglycine 8 reacts with electrophilic alkynes via the münchnone9 to the pyrrolopyridines (= indolizines) 10, 18, and 19 (Scheme 1 ), Depending on the nature of the activating agent and the reaction temperature, the formation of the pyrroles was accompanied by partial epimerization to the manna-configurated epimers 16 and 17. The gluco-configurated pyrrolopyridine 10 was deprotected to 12. Silylation of 12, followed by reduction and desilylation, gave the hexol 15. Cycloaddition of 9 to 4-toluenesulfonyl cyanide yielded 53% of the imidazole 23, while cycloaddition to phenyl cyanate gave the phenoxyimidazole 28 in low yields only (Scheme 2). As expected, the deprotected pyrroles 12, 15, 20, and 21 are weak inhibitors of retaining β-glucosidases, while the deprotected imidazole 24 derived from 23 proved a good inhibitor of sweet-almond β-glucosidases and a powerful inhibitor of Caldocellum saccharolyticum β-glucosidase.

A discussion on the mechanism of the ring opening reaction including semiempirical and ab initio calculations is also presented.

    Notes: Boophiline (1), a new sterol amide was isolated from the cattle tick Boophilus microplus (Ixodidae). The structure was assigned as N-[3-(sulfooxy)-25ξcholest-5-en-26-oyl]-L-isoleucine by detailed 2D NMR investigations in conjunction with FAB mass spectrometry and acidic hydrolyses. Complete assignment of the diastereotopic methylene protons of the ring system could be deduced from the NMR data. In agar dilution assays, 1 exhibited antifungal properties against Cladosporium cucumerinum and antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli.

    Notes: The classical rules for Cope rearrangements predict a transition state with chair form to be favored over the boat form. On the other hand, bridged homotropylidenes, which allow only a boat-form transition state by steric reasons, have extremely low barriers. A controversy about the correct pathway and the different possible intermediates and transition states of the reaction has gone on for years. In this work, the hypersurfaces of barbaralane, in comparison with the boat- and chair-form of hexa-1,5-diene, are computed by the ab inito CASSCF (6,6)/6-31G** method starting with UMP2/6-31G** natural orbitals (NO's). All three hypersurfaces show characteristic features, and, moreover differ from each other. A hitherto undiscussed intermediate, bicyclo[2.2.0]hexane, was localized on the boat-hexa-1,5-diene pathway. So it is noteworthy that our transition state for the boat-hexa-1,5-diene does not correspond to the transition states found by other authors for this conformation. The computed enthalpies of activation of boat- and chair-hexa-1,5-diene, and barbaralane are in good agreement with the experimental data.

    Notes: As one of the regulatory gene products in the HIV-1 genome, Rev protein must be translocated from the nucleus to the cytoplasm to exert its function. Therefore, inhibition of Rev protein translocation could be a useful target for HIV therapy. An extract from the Streptomyces strain A92-308902 with very potent inhibitory activity was found in the course of a high throughput screening with a Rev translocation assay (RTA). Bioassay-guided fractionation with gel filtration, normal-phase and reversed-phase chromatography yielded six RTA-active metabolites belonging to the leptomycin family, the known leptomycin A (1), leptomycin B (2), kazusamycin B (3), and kazusamycin A (4). and the hitherto unknown dilactonmycin (5) and delactonmycin (6), together with an inactive cyclic hexadepsipeptide L-156,620 (7). The structures were established mainly by spectroscopic methods (UV, FT-IR, FAB-MS, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR(JMOD), DQ-COSY, ROESY, HSQC, and HMBC). The configuration of all C=C bonds of 1-6 was unambiguously established by analysis of coupling constants and ROESY spectra. All isolated leptomycins 1-6 inhibit Rev translocation at nanomolar concentrations. Six derivatives (2a-c and 4a-c) of leptomycin B (2) and kazusamycin A (4) were also prepared and tested in the RTA for preliminary investigations on structure-activity relationships.

    Notes: The olefins mentioned in the title were copolymerized with CO in the presence of palladium catalysts modified with dicyclohexyl{(R)-1-[(S)-2-(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenyl]ethyl}phosphine. Productivities up to 95 g/(gPd · h) were achieved. The obtained copolymers were recovered in the pure, regio- und stereoregular polyketone structures3. The isotactic poly[2-benzyl-1-oxopropane-1,3-diyl] (3a) and its analogues 3b, c were found to isomerize to the corresponding spirocyclic poly[3-(arylmethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2,2-5,5-tetrayl-2-oxy-2-methylene]s 4 in a suspension in CHC13, thus indicating that the spiroketal structure is thermodynamically the most stable for these copolymers. However, the atactic material did not undergo any structural transformation. These results show that regularity at the centers of chirality in the main chain is a prerequisite for the conversion of the polyketone to the spiroketal structure.

    Notes: Cyclophanes 3 and 4 were prepared as initiator cores for the construction of dendrophanes (dendritic cydophanes) 1 and 2, respectively, which mimic recognition sites buried in globular proteins. The tetra-oxy[6.1.6.1]paracyclophane 3 was prepared by a short three-step route (Scheme 1) and possesses a cavity binding site shaped by two diphenylmethane units suitable for the inclusion of flat aromatic substrates such as benzene and naphthalene derivatives as was shown by 1H-NMR binding titrations in basic D2O phosphate buffer (Table 1). The larger cyclophane 4, shaped by two wider naphthyl(phenyl)methane spacers, was prepared in a longer, ten-step synthesis (Scheme 2) which included as a key intermediate the tetrabromocyclophane 5. 1H-NMR Binding studies in basic borate buffer in D2O/CD3OD demonstrated that 4 is an efficient steroid receptor. In a series of steroids (Table 1), complexation strength decreased with increasing substrate polarity and increasing number of polar substituents; in addition, electrostatic repulsion between carboxylate residues of host and guest also affected the binding affinity strongly. The conformationally flexible tetrabromocyclophane 5 displayed a pronounced tendency to form solid-state inclusion compounds of defined stoichiometry, which were analyzed by X-ray crystallography (Fig. 2). 1,2-Dichloroethane formed a cavity inclusion complex 5a with 1:1 stoichiometry, while in the 1:3 inclusion compound 5b with benzene, one guest is fully buried in the macrocyclic cavity and two others are positioned in channels between the Cyclophanes in the crystal lattice. In the 1:2 inclusion compound 5c, two toluene molecules penetrate with their aromatic rings the macrocyclic cavity from opposite sides in an antiparallel fashion. On the other hand, p-xylene (= 1,4-dimethylbenzene) in the 1:1 compound 5d is sandwiched between the cyclophane molecules with its two Me groups penetrating the cavities of the two macrocycles. In the 1:2 inclusion compound 5e with tetralin (= 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene), both host and guest are statically disordered. The shape of the macrocycle in 5a-e depends strongly on the nature of the guest (Fig. 4). Characteristic for these compounds is the pronounced tendency of 5 to undergo regular stacking and to form channels for guest inclusion; these channels can infinitely extend across the macrocyclic cavities (Fig. 6) or in the crystal lattice between neighboring cyclophane stacks (Fig. 5). Also, the crystal lattice of 5c displays a remarkable zig-zag pattern of short Br…O contacts between neighboring macrocycles (Fig. 7).

    Notes: Photolysis and Ag-benzoate-catalyzed decomposition of the diazo ketones 2 and 4 derived from Z-Ala-OH and Z-Ala-Ala-OH in the presence of oligonucleotide derivatives bearing at the 5′-terminus an NH2 instead of the OH group, or an aminohexyl phosphate group lead to Z-protected 3-aminobutanoyl and to Z-Ala-β-HAla derivatives, respectively (conjugates 12, 13, and 17-23, Schemes 3-5), In solution, this amide-forming acylation reaction could be realized only with oligomers containing up to 8 unprotected nucleotide building blocks (Schemes 3 and 4). With the analogous polymer-bound and protected oligonucleotide derivatives as amino nucleophiles, excellent yields were obtained with all chain lengths tested (up to 15mer Scheme 5), The products were purified by reversed-phase HPLC and characterized by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (Figs. 2-4, Table 2) and by capillary gel electrophoresis (Fig.2).

    Notes: We describe a versatile novel approach for the synthesis of 2, 4, 6-trisubstituted pyrimidines on solid support. Thus, polymer-boun J thiouronium salt 2 reacted in high yield in a cyclocondensation reaction with the acetylenic ketones 3 to form, after tert-butyl-ester cleavage, the polymer-bound carboxylic acids 4, which were cleaved by oxidation with 3-chloroperbenzoic acid and pyrrolidine to form the 2-pyrrolidinylpyrimidine-4-carboxylic acids 6a-c in high yields and purities without further purification (Scheme 1). Alternatively, acid 4a was subjected to an Ugi four-component condensation which gave the polymer-bound Ugi products 9a-e in good yields (Scheme 2). Multidirectional cleavage reaction of sulfone 8a with different nucleophiles resulted in the clean formation of pyrimidine-4-carboxamides 10-13 (Scheme 3). This strategy combines efficiently solid-phase chemistry with a multicomponent reaction and a multidirectional cleavage step to form highly diverse pyrimidines in a parallel array.

    Notes: The first crystal structure of a molybdenum complex 9 with a hydrogenated pterin and a sulfur ligand contributes to the discussion about the active center of molybdenum and tungsten enzymes containing a molybdopterin cofactor. Complex 9 was synthesized through a redox reaction of [MoVIO2 (LN-S2)] (8; LN-S2 = pyridine-2, 6-bis(methanethiolato)) with 5, 6, 7, 8-tetrahydropterin (7). 2 HCl (H4Ptr.2 HCl). The complex crystallizes, with a non-coordinating Cl-atom acting as a counterion, in the monoclinic space group C2/c (No. 15) with cell dimensions a = 22.900(5), b = 10.716(2), c = 17.551(4) Å, β = 120.36(3)°, and Z = 8. We interpret 9 as [MoIVO(LN-S2)(H+-q-H2Ptr)]Cl (q = quinonoid; H2Ptr = dihydropterin), i.e., a MoIV monooxo center coordinated by a pyridine-2, 6-bis(methanethiolato) ligand and a protonated dihydropterin. The spectroscopic properties of this new complex are comparable to those of other crystalline molybdenum complexes of hydrogenated pterins without additional S-coordination. The slightly H2O-soluble complex 9 reacts with the natural enzyme substrate DMSO very slowly, possibly due to the lack of easily dissociable ligands at the metal center.

    Notes: The solid-state structures of three stereoisomer, 1-3, of the cyclic tetramer of 3-aminobutanoic acid are presented. These cyclo-β-peptides were found to be highly insoluble materials, and it proved to be impossible to grow crystals of sufficient quality for X-ray single-crystal analysis. The samples of 1-3 were, however, suitable candidates for structure determination from powder diffraction data (Fig. 1), and the application of this method is described. All three isomers have been found to adopt tubular structures (Figs. 2-4) in a fashion similar to those already observed for certain cyclo-α-peptides. The stacks of 16-membered rings are held together by four nonlinear C=O…H—N H-bonds between pairs of molecules (Fig.5).

The comparison of the carotenoid isolated from yellow, tomato-shaped paprika (Capsicum annuum var. lycopersiciforme flavum) with 3-5 strongly supports the structure of 3 for the natural product.

    Notes: The 14-membered tetraazamacrocyclic Ni2+ and Cu2+ complexes of 4 (1, 4, 8-trimethyl-11-[(2-methylthio)ethyl]-1, 4, 8, 11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), 5. (1, 4-dimethyl-8, 11-bis[2-(methylthio)ethyl]-l, 4, 8, 11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), and 7 (1, 4, 8, ll-tetrakis[2-(methylthio)ethyl]-1, 4, 8, 11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), with pne, two, and four methylthio-substituted pendant chains, respectively, and the Ni2+ complex of 6 (1, 4-dimethyl-8, 11-bis (2-methoxyethyl)-1, 4, 8, 11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), with two methoxy-substituted pendant chains, were synthesized and their chemistry studied with regard to modelling F430. Solution spectra in H2O, MeCN, and DMF indicate participation of the side chain in metal coordination when the donor group is a thioether, whereas no coordination with the metal ion is observed with the ether group. Similarly the X-ray structures of the thioether-containing compounds [Ni(5)](ClO4)2, [Cu(5)](ClO4)2, and [Cu(7)](ClO4)2 show a coordination number of 5, whereas that of [Ni(6)](ClO4)2 with ether pendant chains, shows a coordination number of 4. Cyclic voltammetry of these complexes in MeCN reveals that Ni2+ is reversibly reduced to Ni+ between -0.64 and -0.77 V vs. SCE, the potential being influenced by the nature and number of the pendant chains. At more negative potentials, the thioether is cleaved, whereby a thiol is formed; the thiol is then oxidized at ca. + 0.8 V vs. SCE, when a glassy carbon electrode is used, or at ca. 0 V vs. SCE at a dropping Hg electrode. No cleavage of the ether bond in [Ni(6)](ClO4)2 is observed under similar conditions.

    Notes: The photochemical synthesis of indole derivatives starting from the indoline-2-thiones 1 is described. Irradiation of indoline-2-thiones 1 in the presence of alkenes 3 gave 2-alkyl-3H-indoles 4-7 or 2-alkylindoles 8-22 through the ring cleavage of the intermediates, spirocyclic amino-thietanes, initially derived by [2 + 2] cycloaddition of the C=S bond of 1 and the C=C bond of 3. Irradiation of 1 in the presence of trialkylamines 26 gave desulfurization products 27-32 and unexpected 3-alkylindoles 33-40. N-Acylindoline-2-thiones 11-p yielded the deacylated products, indoline-2-thiones 1a-b, and ethyl esters 43 through γ-H abstraction by the excited thioamide S-atom when irradiated in CDC13/EtOH or benzene/EtOH. Oxygen analogues 2a-d also underwent intramolecular H abstraction to give the indolin-2-ones 2e-f and ethyl esters 43 in a similar way.

    Notes: Antioxidant activity guided fractionation of extracts of the aerial parts of the title plant and HPLC separation yielded a series of oxygenated long-chain alkylcatechols. Their structures were inferred by spectroscopic methods and chemical transformations to be the novel 4-[(2S,4R,6S)-4-(acetyloxy)tetrahydro-6-pentyl-2H-pyran-2-yl]benzene-1,2diol (1a), 4-[(2S,4R6S)-tetrahydro-4-hydroxy-6-pentyl-2H-pyran-2-yl]benzene-1,2-diol (1b), 4-[(3S,5S)-5-(acetyloxy)-3-hydroxydecyl]benzene-1,2-diol (2a), 4-[(3S,5S)3-(acetyloxy)-5-hydroxydecyl]benzene-1,2-diol (2b), (3S,13Z)-1-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3-hydroxydocos-13-en-5-one (3a), (Z)-1-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)docos-13-en-5-one (4), besides the known l-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)icosan-5-one (5). The absolute configurations of the optically active compounds which are structurally related to the [n]-gingerols (6) and -diols (7) were established by the high-field 1H-NMR application of Mosher's method. All compounds are in vitro potent antioxidants, inhibiting the Fe2+-catalysed autoxidation of linoleic acid in the same order of magnitude as the commercial antioxidant 2,6-di(tert-butyl)-4-methylphenol (BHT). The dose-dependent inhibitory effects on soybean-lipoxygenase are in the μmol range, that of the most effective compound (3a) in the nmol range, hence being significantly more potent than the Known anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs indomethacin and nordihydroguaiaretic acid.

    Notes: Starting from the easily available, highly functionalized acetylenic ketories 4a-i (Scheme 1), novel 2,3,5-trisubstituted thiophenes 1a-i (Scheme 2) were synthesized in good yields using a tandem Michael-addition/intramolecular Knoevenagel-condensation strategy, featuring Cs2CO3/MgSO4 (1:2) as an efficient base to effect the cyclization. Subsequent simple one-step transformations yielded 2,3-disubstituted thiophene-5-carbaidehydes 7a-c, carboxylic-acid derivatives 8, 9, and 11, and alcohol 10 (Scheme 3). These molecules constitute interesting novel thiophene-containing building blocks, useful for the preparation of low-molecular-weight compound libraries by combinatorial and parallel-chemistry techniques.

    Notes: Lanthanide picrate complexes with the ligand N,N,N′,N′-tetraphenyl-3,6-dioxaactanediamide (tdd): [Ln(Pic)3(tdd)] (Ln = La, Nd, Eu, Tb, Er) have been prepared in a nonaqueous medium and characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, IR, and 1H-NMR spectra. The crystal structures of the complexes for Ln = Nd and Er were determined. The early lanthanide, NdIII, crystallizes as the nona-coordinate complex [Nd(Pic)3(tdd)]. 2 CH3CN in the monoclinic space group P21n with a = 11.384(2), b = 18.805(4), c = 27.526(5) Å, β = 99.41(1)°, V = 5832(2) Å3, and Dc = 1.58 gcm-3 for Z = 4. The structure was refined to R = 0.0505, based on 4772 observed Deflections. The late lanthanide, ErIII, forms an octa-coordinate complex [Er(Pic)3(tdd)]; crystals are triclinic, P1, with a = 12.449(2), b = 17.065(2), c = 26.243(4) Å, α = 72.12(1), β = 87.86(1), γ = 84.60(1)°, V = 5282(1) Å3, and Dc = 1.68 g cm-3 for Z, = 4. The structure was refined to R = 0.0469, based on 10666 observed reflections, The results reveal that tdd forms a ring-like structure with its four O-atoms, coordinating to the metal ions as multidentate ligand, together with one O-atom of the bidentate picrate. The structure of the complexes is greatly affected by the ionic radius due to participation of the picrates in coordination.

    Notes: Intramolecular [Pd2(dba)3]/tri(2-furyl)phosphine-catalysed (dba = dibenzylideneacetone, PhCH=CHCOCH=CHPh) cyclisations of olefinic propargylic carbonates I provided alk-1-enyl-(3-aza)bicyclo[3.1.0]-hexanes VIII in good yields. A palladium cascade sequence I → II → III → IV → VII → VIII is proposed. Furthermore, chiral propargylic carbonates such as 23, 24 and 25 allowed diastereoselective formation of bicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes 29, 30 and 31, respectively. The first diastereoselective synthesis of the monoterpene, (-)-α-thujone 40 illustrates the potential of the method.

    Notes: The structure of rogioldiol A ((-)-1), isolated from the red seaweed Laurencia microcladia, was determined. Employing the exciton-coupling technique for rogioldiol A p-bromobenzoate (2), the absolute configuration at C(9) of (-)-1 was assigned, and, together with extensive NMR experiments, the absolute configuration at C(10) and preferred conformations of (-)-1 were determined. The absolute configuration of the hetero-substituted cyclohexane ring was deduced in analogy from the X-ray structure of 4, a derivative of the aldehyde 3, which was isolated from the same seaweed and is believed to be a degradation product of (-)-1.

    Notes: New chromenes annulated with different six-membered azaheterocycles were prepared, i.e., the 3H-pyra-no[3,2-f]quinolines 9/10 and 14, the 8H-pyrano[2,3-h]isoquinoline 11, the 8H-pyrano[3,2-f]quinazolme 12, the 8-H-pyrano[3,2-f]quinoxaline 13, and the 2H-pyrano[2,3-f]isoquinoline 15. The synthesis was achieved using conveniently substituted α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and organotitanium intermediates arising from azaheterocyclic phenols. Their photochromic behaviour (photocolouration yield, UV/VIS spectrum of photomerocyanines, rate constant of thermal bleaching) were studied besides those of corresponding naphthopyrans. The heterocycle effect and the role of substituents in the pyran moiety were investigated quantitatively through the study of the photochromic properties and the solvent effects. Diaryl-substituted azino-fused chromenes, especially isoquinoline derivatives, exhibit increased colourabilities and bathochromically shifted spectra for photomerocyanines which open up new prospects for photochromic applications.

    Notes: The 2′,3′-O-isopropylideneuridine (1) reacts with MeI in the presence of an excess of NaH in THF giving 2′,3′-O-isopropylidene-5′-O-methyluridine (2). Prolonged reaction time gives rise to 2′,3′-O-isopropylidene-3,5′-O-dimethyluridine (4). The use of an equimolar amount of base and alkylating agent results predominantly in methylation at N(3) (→ 3).

    Notes: We describe a new, efficient synthesis of DX-9065a (4), a potent inhibitor of the blood coagulation enzyme factor Xa (fXa) which has previously been prepared in more than 20 steps. We saved approximately 10 steps starting with a Pd-catalyzed cyanation of the triflate 10 of 7-methoxynaphthalen-2-ol (9). After cleavage of the MeO group with boron tribromide, the triflate 6 was coupled to acrylate 5 in a Heck reaction (→3). The subsequent transformations led to DX-9065 a.

    Notes: The Cu2+ and Ni2+ complexes of three reinforced tetraazamacrocycles, containing a piperazine subunit and one or two alkyl substituents at the other two N-atoms have been prepared and their structural properties studied. In solution, the Ni2+ complexes are square-planar and show no tendency to axially coordinate a solvent molecule or an N3- ion. In contrast, the Cu2+ complexes change their geometry depending upon the donor properties of the solvent, being square-planar in MeNO2 and pentacoordinate in DMF. They also easily react in aqueous solution with N3- to give ternary species with pentacoordinate geometry, the stabilities of which have been determined. In the solid state, the X-ray crystal structures of three Cu2+ complexes also show both geometrical arrangements, two having a square-planar, the other one a distorted square pyramidal geometry. The difference behavior of Ni2+ and Cu2+ stems from the fact that the structural change from square-planar to square-pyramidal can easily be accomplished for Cu2+, whereas, for Ni2+, it is accompanied by an electronic rearrangement from the low-spin to the high-spin configuration. The relatively rigid ligands cannot Adapt to the somewhat larger high-spin Ni2+ion.

    Notes: N-Monosubstituted 1,3-diamines were selectively functionalized at the secondary N-atom via 2-Ph-substituted hexahydropyrimidine intermediates. Reaction of the diamines with benzaldehyde, followed by treatment with an electrophile and hydrolysis, provided the desired products with excellent selectivity and in high yields. N4,N9-bis[3-phenylprop-2-enoyl]spermine (4a), which was further converted to N1,N1 2-bis[3-phenylprop-2-enoyl]spermine (15) by a transamidation reaction, was prepared by this way in 82% yield from spermine (1). Compound 4a was alternatively synthesized in 83% yield, equally from 1, by a sequence involving intermediary protection of the terminal amino groups.

    Notes: As previously shown, oligo- and poly(β-hydroxyalkanoates) have a high tendency to form lamellar crystallites with ca. 50-Å thickness which corresponds to chain lengths of 16 units (Fig. 1). To have monodisperse model compounds, we have now prepared bicyclic derivatives with three parallel (27-29) or two parallel and an antiparallel chain (68-70) consisting of up to 16 3-hydroxybutanoate (3-HB) units. We also prepared dendritic compounds (71-75, 82-85) containing oligo(3-HB) chains which cannot possibly be arranged as in the lamellae; the branching units were prepared from trimesic acid (= benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid). So far, none of the prepared samples formed crystals or contained crystalline domains which would have been suitable for single-crystal or powder-diffraction X-ray analysis. The terminally deprotected dendrimers (74, 75, and 85) are multi-anionic (up to 12 peripheral CO2H groups) and biodegradable. The macromolecular HB derivatives (molecular weight up to 10150 Da) have been fully characterized by IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR, [α]D, and elemental analysis. Especially important is the analysis by mass spectrometry with the MALDI-TOF technique (Fig. 2), proving that the products are monodisperse; application of a new variation of this MS method (post source decay = PSD or fragment analysis by structural time of flight = FASTTM) allows for the observation of metastable fragment ions and, thus, is a tool for structural oligomer analysis (Fig. 3).

    Notes: 5-Methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (1) is a remarkable probe to study hydrogen and proton transfer reactions. The photoenol 4-hydroxy-5-methylidene naphthalen-1 (5H)-one (2) is formed in the ground state within 2 ps of excitation and with a quantum yield of unity, presumably through a conical intersection of the S0 and S1 hypersurfaces. In aqueous acid, enol 2 is hydrated to 5-(hydroxymethyl)naphthalene-1,4-diol 3 (X = OH, Scheme 1). The rate of hydration of 2 increases linearly with acid concentration from ca. 1.5 × 104 s-1 at pH 6 to reach a maximum value of 9 ×107 s-1 when the remaining carbonyl function is protonated, pKa(2+) = 1.1. Contrary to an earlier suggestion, the rate-determining step in the acid-catalyzed hydration of 2 is addition of water to the conjugate acid 2+. Pronounced acceleration of the decay rate of 2 by hydrazoic-acid buffers indicates competitive trapping of 2+ by the azide ion. In neutral-to-weakly-basic solutions, enol 2 reacts by ionization, pKa(2) = 6.5, and nearly diffusion-controlled condensation of the carbanionic species 2- with quinone 1. Proto-nation at the methylidene C-atom does not compete measurably with protonation on carbonyl O-atom, despite a Substsial thermodynamic basic for carbon Portoation of ca. 50 kJ mol-1 for 2 and 100 mol-1 for 2-.

    Notes: O-Alkylation of 8-hydroxy-1H-quinolin-2-one (1) afforded 8-(2-oxopropoxy)-1H-quinolin-2-one (2) which was immediately cyclized to form the tricyclic 2,3-dihydro-3-hydroxy-3-methyl-5H-pyrido[1,2,3-de][1,4]benzoxazine,-5-one (3). The Reformatsky-type condensation of 3 furnished antiplatelet 8-[(2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2-methyl-4-methylidene-5-oxofuran-2-yl)melhoxy]-1H-quinolin-2-one (4). Its counterparts 7a-f, Ph-substituted at C(2) of the furan ring, were obtained from 1 via alkylation and the Reformatsky-type condensation. Although compound 4 was less active against platelet aggregation than 7a-f, it was the only compound which exhibited significant inhibitory activity on high-K+ medium, Ca2+-induced vasoconstriction and was more active than most of its Ph-substituted counterparts against norepinephrine-induced vasoconstrictions.

    Notes: The synthesis of a variety of potent macrocyclic growth hormone secretagogues, i.e. 5, 9, 12, and 20-22, based on the known lead structure L-692,429 (1) is described. These conformationally constrained growth hormone secretagogues were prepared by joining the two essential pharmacophores, the amino-acid side chain at the 1H-1-benzazepine moiety and the 1,1′-biphenyl moiety with a variety of linkers. The most potent analog was found to be L-744,080 (21), a derivative in which a 2′-carboxamide moiety at 1,1-biphenyl is N,O-joined to the OH group of the (2-hydroxypropyl)amino-acid side chain by a C4 ester linker. This potent analog may be useful in determining the bound conformation of the benzolactam class of growth hormone secretagogues at the newly identified GHS receptor, L-744,080 (21) with an ED50 of 20 nM was up to fifty times more potent than the seco-acid precursor and 3-fold more potent than the parent 2′-tetrazole compound L-692, 429 (1).

    Notes: Addition of CH2N2 to 2,3:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-1-thio-mannono-1,4-lactone (1) gave the 2,5-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazole 2 and the 4,5-dihydro-1,2,3-thiadiazole 3. First-order kinetics were observed for the thermolysis of 3 (Scheme 3) at 80-110° in C6D5Cl solution and of 2 (Scheme 3) at 20-35° in CDC13, respectively. The 1,2,3-thiadiazole 3 led to mixtures of the thiirane 9, the starting thionolactone 1, the thiono-1,5-lactone 8, and the enol ether 7, while the isomeric 1,3,4-thiadiazole 2 led to mixtures of the anomeric thiiranes 9 and 12, the O-hydrogen S,O,O-ortholactone α-D-14, the S-methyl thioester 15, the S,S,O-ortholactone 13, and the 2,3:5,6-di-Oisopropylidene-mannono-1,4-iactone (16). Pure products of the thermolysis were isolated by semipreparative supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), whereas preparative HPLC led to partial or complete decomposition. Thus, the β-D-mannofuranosyl β-D-mannofuranoside 10, contaminated by an unknown S species, was isolated by preparative HPLC of the crude product of thermolysis of 3 at 115-120° and partially transformed in CD3OD solution into the symmetric di(α-D-mannofuranosyl) tetrasulfide 11. Its structure was evidenced by X-ray analysis. Similarly, HPLC of the thermolysis product of 2 gave the enethiol 17, the sulfide 19, and the mercapto alcohol 18 as secondary products. Thermolysis of the thiirane 9 at 110-120° (Scheme 4) led to the anomeric thiirane 12 which was transformed into mixtures of the enethiol 17 and the enol ether 7. Addition of H2O to 17 and 7 gave the corresponding hemiacetals 18 and 20. The mechanism of the thermolysis of the dihydrothiadiazoles 2 and 3, and the thiiranes 9 and 12 is discussed.

    Notes: α-Substituted N-acylbornane-10, 2-sultams 6, 9, and 10 can be converted into enantiomerically pure ketones 5. 13, and 14, respectively, via a two-step procedure involving a known mercaptolysis reaction followed by an [Fe(acac)3]-mediated coupling of the resulting S-benzyl thioesters with Grignard reagents. Furthermore, enantiomerically pure aldehydes 23 can be obtained from α-substituted N-acylbornane-10,2-sultams 6 via a one-step reduction with (i-Bu)2AIH. No epimerization at the α-chiral center is observed during the cleavage reaction whereby the chiral auxiliary, bornane-10,2-sultam 1 or ent-l, was recovered. By using this methodology, several natural products or precursors thereof can be prepared.

    Notes: Benzo[a]heptalene has been synthesized by two different approaches. The first one follows a pathway to hexahydrobenzo[a]heptalenone 19a that has been already described by Wenkert and Kim(Scheme). Indeed, 19a was obtained in a mixture with its double-bond-shifted isomer 19b. Reduction of this mixture to the corresponding secondary alcohols 26a/26b and elimination of H2O lead to a mixture of the tetrahydrobenzo[a]heptalenes 23a-d (Scheme7 and 8). Reaction of 23a-d with 2 equiv. of triphenylmethylium tetrafluoroborate in boiling CHCl3, followed by treatment with Me3N in CH2Cl2, generated directly 2, unfortunately in a mixture with Ph3CH that could not be separated from 2 (Scheme 10 and 11). The second approach via dimethyl benzo[a]heptalene-6,7-dicarboxylate (30) (Scheme 12) that was gradually transformed into the corresponding carbaldehydes 37 and 43 (Scheme 14) both of which, on treatment with the Wilkinson catalyst [RhCl(PPh3)3] at 130° in toluene, smoothly decarbonylated, finally gave pure 2 as an unstable orange, viscous oil. UV/VIS, NMR, and mass spectra of 2 are discussed in detail (cf. Chapt.3).

    Notes: The stereochemistry of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides derived from aromatic aldehydes and i-proline alkyl esters with several nitroolefins was investigated. Cyclic and acyclic nitroolefins add to the anti form of the ylide in a highly diastereoselective but poorly regioselective manner to give pyrrolizidine derivatives. In a few cases, the stereochemical results strongly support a stepwise mechanism.

    Notes: Some 2′-deoxy-1′,2′-seco-D-ribosyl (5′→3′)oligonucleotides (= 1′,2′-seco-DNA), differing from natural DNA only by a bond scission between the centers C(1′) and C(2′), were synthesized and studied in order to compare their structure properties and pairing behavior with those of corresponding natural DNA and homo-DNA oligonucleotides (2′,3′-dideoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl oligonucleotides). Starting from (-)-D-tartaric acid, 2′-deoxy-1′,2′-secoadenosine derivative 9a and 1′,2′-secothymidine (9b) were obtained in pure crystalline form. Using the phosphoramidite variant of the phosphite-triester method, a dinucleotide monophosphate 1′,2′-seco-d(T2) was synthesized in solution, while oligonucleotides 1′,2′-seco-d[(AT)6], 1′,2′-seco-d(A10) and 1′,2′-seco-d(T10) were prepared on solid phase with either automated or manual techniques. Results of UV- and CD-spectroscopic as well as gel-electrophoretic studies indicated that neither adenine-thymine base pairing (as observed in natural DNA and homo-DNA), nor the adenine-adenine base pairing (as observed in homo-DNA) was effective in 1′,2′-seco-DNA, Furthermore, hybrid pairing was observed neither between 1′.2′-seco-DNA and natural DNA nor between 1′,2′-seco-DNA and homo-DNA.

    Notes: Flavo-thiazolio-cyclophane 6 was prepared on a gram scale by an 18-step synthesis (Schemes 3 and 4). This pathway involved the very efficient preparation of bromo-cyclophane 32 (37% yield over 13-steps), which can be readily modified to create various multiply functionalized receptors. This bromide 32 was subsequently converted into the corresponding boronic acid and connected to the 7-bromoflavin 10 (Scheme 2) via Suzuki coupling to give flavo-cyclophane 36. The thiazolium unit was then introduced after quaternization of the tertiary amino groups of 36. Flavo-thiazolio-cyclophane 6, with both prosthetic groups attached in proximity to the well-defined cyclophane binding site, is a functional model for the enzyme pyruvate oxidase. In basic methanolic solution, 6 catalyzes the oxidation of aromatic aldehydes to their corresponding methyl esters. Cyclophane 6 shows saturation kinetics, and the turnover number calculated for the oxidation of naphthalene-2-carbaldehyde to methyl naphthalene-2-carboxylate (kcat = 0.22 s-1) is one of the highest reported for an artificial enzyme. Control experiments showed that the catalytic advantages of 6 result from the macrocyclic binding and reaction site as well as from the covalent attachment of both cofactors to this site. The catalytic cycle is completed by electrochemical re-oxidation of the reduced flavin moiety at a low working electrode potential (- 0.3 V vs. Ag/AgCl), and up to ca. 100 catalytic cycles can be performed on a preparative scale, The intramolecular nature of the electron transfer from the active aldehyde intermediate to the flavin is particularly conducive to the oxidation of unreactive aldehydes.
