    Notes: Summary Brain abscesses were induced experimentally in six cats by stereotactic inoculation ofStaphylococcus aureus A8 into the white matter of the left cerebral hemisphere. Seven days later, the brains were frozen in situ with liquid nitrogen and subsequently sawn into coronal sections of 5 mm thickness, while being cooled with liquid nitrogen. Thin slices were taken from those sections containing the largest expanse of abscess: slices of 5 μm thickness were stained histologically, and in adjacent 20 μm slices the regional distribution of ATP and glucose was mapped using substrate-specific bioluminescence methods. Furthermore, the NADH fluorescence from the surface of the tissue section was recorded. Six layers could be distinguished histologically in the abscess capsule, five of which showed different substrate patterns. Only in two layers a low metabolic activity could be observed, as shown by slight ATP bioluminescence. The pattern of the biochemical substrates in the white matter surrounding the abscess indicated a reduction in the cellular oxygen availability.

    Notes: Summary This investigation had four goals: First, to study the general topography of the corpus callosum (CC) of the cat. Second, to study the columnar organization of CC terminals and map their banding pattern in the cortex. Third, to examine the relation between CC neuron density and the presence of CC terminal columns. Fourth, to determine whether CC and anterior commissure (AC) neuron distributions are intermixed. Eight adult cats were subjected to partial commissurotomies, and then to large injections of horseradish peroxidase to one cerebral hemisphere. Processing with tetramethyl benzidine revealed retrogradely labelled cells and anterogradely labelled terminals in the cortex of the uninjected hemisphere. The distributions of these cells and terminals were examined by light microscopy and analyzed by computer microscopic methods. The genu of the CC interconnects frontal portions of the cortex, the body interconnects mostly dorsal portions of the cortex, while the splenium interconnects the temporal and occipital cortices. Reconstructions of the CC terminal columns reveal intricate banding patterns in several non-primary areas of the cortex. CC cell density is greater within than outside the terminal columns. CC and AC neurons intermix in the infragranular lavers of the neocortex.

    Notes: Summary Motilin was demonstrated by the immunoperoxidase technique in endocrine cells of the gastrointestinal tract using several specific antisera. Motilin-like immunoreactivity could only be demonstrated with one of these antisera and was observed in Purkinje cells and dendrites of the cerebellum, in pyramidal cells and dendrites of the cerebral cortex and in dendrites of the CA3 field of the hippocampus of the rat. Very low motilin-like immunoreactivity was found in cerebellum as well as in cerebral cortex using radioimmunoassay. However, using reverse phase liquid chromatography combined with UV-detection and radioimmunoassay, no peak of a peptide corresponding to synthetic motilin was detectable in rat cerebellar extracts, in contrast to findings in rat duodenum. The results do not suggest that motilin is an intrinsic neuroactive substance of the cerebellum.

    Notes: Summary By means of retrograde axonal transport of the wheat germ agglutinin — horseradish peroxidase complex, a projection from the Edinger-Westphal nucleus to the lateral reticular nucleus was demonstrated in the cat. Following small tracer ejections in the main part of the lateral reticular nucleus, a significant number of labelled neurons were found bilaterally throughout the Edinger-Westphal nucleus. Most of the labelled cells were located on the ipsilateral side. The projecting neurons are spindle-shaped to round with a maximum diameter of the cell body between 15 and 30 μm. The findings are discussed in relation to other Edinger-Westphal efferent projections, and some comments are made concerning the cytoarchitecture and delineation of the feline Edinger-Westphal nucleus.

    Notes: Summary The organization of ascending and descending neurones of the lateral cervical nucleus (LCN) was investigated in 10 adult cats after injections of the fluorescent tracers Fast Blue and Nuclear Yellow. Injections into the thalamus and tectum resulted in up to 3000 labelled cell profiles within the contralateral LCN. This corresponded to a calculated number of 4500 labelled LCN neurones. The greatest diameter of the labelled cell profiles was about 30 μm. They were located throughout the nucleus, but were less numerous in its medial portion. Injections mainly into the dorsal horn of different pairs of cervical and lumbar segments of the spinal cord resulted in a calculated number of up to 305 labelled LCN cells. The diameter of these cell profiles was about 25 μm and they were mainly situated in the rostro-ventral and medial parts of the LCN. Doublelabelled cells with ascending and descending projections were not encountered after injections into the thalamus-tectum and spinal segments C5-6. About 15% of the descending LCN cells were doublelabelled by pairs of spinal injections separated by intervals of one segment. It is concluded that the neurones descending down the spinal cord and ascending to the thalamus-tectum constitute different subpopulations of cells within the LCN and that a minor proportion of the descending cells seem to project to at least three adjacent segments of the spinal cord.

    Notes: Summary Short latency responses were recorded from C5 phrenic roots and intracellularly from phrenic motoneurones following stimulation of the pericruciate cortex or medullary pyramids in cats anaesthetized with Nembutal or chloralose-urethane. Focal stimulation of the cortical surface (single pulses, 0.5–2 ms, 0.3–8 mA) during inspiration evoked EPSPs (latency 4.7 ± 1.7 ms, rise time 1.9 ± 1.1 ms, amplitude 0.22 to 3.94 mV) in 42% of motoneurones studied (n = 107). The EPSPs were absent, or on average 60% smaller, following stimulation during expiration. In all but two motoneurones, during both inspiration and expiration, hyperpolarizing potentials were observed either following the initial depolarization or alone. They could be reversed by hyperpolarizing current or chloride injection. Stimulation of the pyramidal tract at mid medullary level (1 to 3 pulses, 0.2 ms) evoked short latency excitation in phrenic motoneurones only with currents of more than 200 μA. Smaller stimuli applied to the medial reticular formation above the pyramidal tract evoked excitation (onset latency 1.5–3.2 ms) in which the earliest part was probably monosynaptic. These results show that the corticospinal responses in phrenic motoneurones are both excitatory and inhibitory. They are not transmitted through the pyramidal tract and are at least disynaptic. Excitation evoked from the medullary pyramidal tract can be explained by current spread beyond the pyramidal tract fibres.

    Notes: Summary Intracortical injections of horseradish peroxidase conjugated with wheat-germ agglutinin (WGA-HRP) reveal a characteristic patchy staining pattern within the superficial layers of cat striate cortex. The patches consist of a dense accumulation of labeled neurons and axonal arborizations. We have investigated the tangential organization and the development of these intrinsic cortical connections by using a flat-mount preparation of area 17. The diameter of the patches varied from 200 to 400 μm, the center-to-center distance ranged from 400 to 800 μm, and the spread of patches extended further in the anterior-posterior than in the medial-lateral direction. The expression of these horizontal patchy connections is age- and experience-dependent. From ten days to six weeks of age patches are exuberant and on occasion fuse to beaded bands extending radially from the injection site. From 6 weeks onwards the number and the tangential spread of the patches decreases to one or two rows of isolated clusters. Long-term binocular deprivation disrupts this pattern of intrinsic connections nearly completely. We infer from these results that there is an inborn pattern of discrete horizontal connections in striate cortex which is shaped by visual experience and requires contour vision for its maintenance.

    Notes: Summary 1. Interactions between phrenic motoneurons have been analysed in anaesthetized, paralyzed cats after C3 to C7 deafferentation. Effects of electrical stimulation of the C5 phrenic axons have been studied on thin filaments dissected from the stimulated nerve. Repetitive stimulation could elicit, after the primary direct response of the stimulated axons, a secondary response named Recurrent Response, RR. 2. RRs have been obtained in 117/186 phrenic axons. They appear sporadically (mean occurrence: 3.75 RRs elicited by 100 shocks of stimulation) at a constant latency. They originate from a spinal mechanism since they persist after C2 transection and disappear after section of the ventral roots. 3. The mechanism responsible for RR shows spatial and temporal facilitation. The RR probability increases with the number of antidromically invaded motoneurons as revealed by changes either of stimulation intensity or of central respiratory drive. However, RR could be evoked in a motoneuron without an antidromic volley in its axon. 4. Systemic injections of nicotinic blocking drugs such as dihydro-β-erytroidin or mecamylamine decrease or suppress the occurrence of RR; therefore, cholinergic synapses are involved in the RR generating process. 5. RR are assumed to be due to direct excitatory interactions between homonymous motoneurons. Recurrent axon collaterals impinging directly on neighbouring motoneurons would link together the different motoneurons of the phrenic pool. The functional significance of this phenomenon is discussed.

    Notes: Summary 1. The cortico-cortical projection from area 5 to area 4 γ was studied in anesthetized cats. 2. Intracortical microstimulation of area 5 produced EPSPs in pyramidal tract (PT) cells in area 4 γ. Such EPSPs were analysed in a total of 54 fast PT cells. The rising phase of these EPSPs was often composed of fast and slow components. 3. Fast-rising EPSPs (fast component) were produced predominantly by stimulation within layer III of area 5 while slow-rising EPSPs (slow component) were evoked predominantly by stimulation within layer V of area 5. 4. The amplitudes of the fast and slow components of EPSPs produced during repetitive stimulation within layers III and V of area 5 decreased and increased, respectively, with an increase in the stimulus frequency without any appreciable changes in their latency and time-to-peak. The slow component was much less influenced by membrane hyperpolarization than the fast component. 5. Retrogradely labeled neurons were found not only in layer III but also in layer V of area 5 following HRP injection centered on superficial layers (I–III) of area 4γ. 6. It is suggested that there are two groups of cortico-cortical neurons in layers III and V of area 5, which may make monosynaptic contact with the proximal and distal sites of fast PT cells in area 4γ, respectively.

    Notes: Summary Stimulating electrodes were placed in the red nucleus, lateral hypothalamus and medial thalamus in order to determine whether pyramidal tract (PT) neurons send collaterals to those sites. The red nucleus projections are well-known, but it was discovered that PT neurons also project into the other two sites. All of the fibers that sent collaterals to all three sites originated from fast PT neurons. Those that responded to stimulation of the skin and that sent collaterals to two or three sites were predominantly fast PT neurons. Those neurons that responded only to cerebral peduncle stimulation were predominantly slowly-conducting, when compared with the set of PT neurons in response to cerebral peduncle stimulation. The patterns of collateral branching to red nucleus and to lateral hypothalamus were similar, suggestimg a similar synaptic effect of the pyramidal system in the two sites. Measurement of the speed of conduction from three sites along the length of corticospinal fibers revealed large changes on some, but not all, fibers; there was no evident pattern to these changes that might be associated with collateral branching. A new hypothesis concerning the functional role of fast PT neurons in regulating movement is presented.

    Notes: Summary This study was performed in order to describe the location, axonal projection and possible synaptic action of the inspiratory neurons recently described in the upper cervical cord. In 26 cats anaesthetized with Nembutal, extracellular recordings were made from 224 cervical inspiratory units which were found near the lateral border of lamina VII and formed a column extending from the caudal end of the nucleus retroambigualis at the C1 segment to the rostral half of the C3 segment. Most of the units (approximately 85%) could be excited antidromically from the thoracic cord. Antidromic mapping showed collateral branches to the C5 segment in the vicinity of the phrenic nucleus, occasionally crossing the midline. No synaptic connections with phrenic motoneurones could be revealed either by cross-correlation of the activity of the cervical units with the discharge of C5 phrenic root, or by spike-triggered averaging (STA) of the post-synaptic noise recorded intracellularly from phrenic motoneurons. Extensive branching was found in the examined T3–T5 segments with arborizations near the ipsilateral intercostal motor nuclei and often extending across the midline. Cross-correlation experiments did not show clear monosynaptic connections to the inspiratory intercostal motoneurons. Intracellular recording from intercostal motoneurons and STA resulted in a few (2 out of 37) small, probably disynaptic, e.p.s.p.s. It is concluded that the upper cervical neurons are involved in the control of phrenic and intercostal motoneurons, probably through a disynaptic pathway involving segmental interneurons.

    Notes: Summary Antibodies to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) were obtained from 4 rabbits after injections of 5-HT coupled to bovine serum albumin by means of paraformaldehyde (PF). Two methods were used to monitor the developement of antibodies (AB): the one based on the “in vitro” competitive binding properties of the antibodies with3(H)5-HT, the other, on their “in situ” binding properties to endogenous 5-HT, using the peroxidase-anti-peroxidase immunohistochemical technique, applied to paraffin embedded sections of cat brainstem. No pharmacological processing, detergents or proteolytic enzymes were used. The specificity of the antiserum was tested by competitive procedures with 20 analogs using the “in vitro” and “in situ” techniques. “In vitro” studies were performed with 5-HT free analogs and with analogs previously coupled with PF to lysine. Radioimmunological tests showed that the antibodies recognize mainly the ethylamine (CH2-CH2-NH2)-cham of the free analogs and that the best specificity was obtained with the 5-HT conjugate (5-HT-lysine-PF). The results suggest that the hapten is coupled through the phenolic positions C4 or C5. The “in situ” immunohistochemical extinction assays also revealed a distinct specificity for 5-HT. Possible optical and ultrastructural applications are illustrated in the raphé nuclei of the cat. These results confirm the reliability of radioimmunological tests for studying the specificity of AB directed against haptens, provided that haptens and analogs tested were first chemically transformed to resemble the immunogen (herewith lysine-PF coupling) with regard to its antigenic structure.

    Notes: Summary The response characteristics of mechanoreceptive neurons (RA, SA, and PC) innervating the foot pad of cat were determined in the cuneate nucleus. The mechanical stimuli were single sinusoidal pulses of varying frequency (20, 60, 150, and 240 Hz), and vibratory trains of varying frequency (80 and 240 Hz) and duration (50, 100, and 400 ms). Thresholds and stimulus-response functions were determined with single pulses. Absolute thresholds (1 impulse/train), tuning thresholds (1 impulse/cycle), and atonal intervals (the range between absolute and tuning thresholds) were determined with vibratory stimulus trains. When tested with single pulses the thresholds resembled those of primary afferents in all unit populations. The stimulus-response function of PC units but not of all RA units were comparable to those of primary afferents. Noxious conditioning stimulation did not influence the thresholds of cuneate mechanoreceptors in the tested sample (N = 6). Mostly PC units were tested with vibratory trains. Absolute thresholds were not dependent on stimulus duration, which is a consistent finding with peripheral units. In contrast to peripheral units, the tuning thresholds in most PC units were elevated with increasing stimulus duration. The variability in the range of atonal intervals was much larger than in the periphery. Thus, it seems that both the type of the tactile signal and the type of the studied mechanoreceptive neuron are critical parameters in determining whether the response characteristics of neurons in the cuneate and in the periphery are identical or not.

    Notes: Summary The auditory response properties of single neurons in claustrum and putamen were studied in response to simple dichotic stimuli (viz. noise- and tone-bursts) in chloralose-anaesthetized cats. Neurons in claustrum were commonly weakly driven with long latency, were broadly tuned and were excited by stimulation of either ear (EE). Putamen neurons, in contrast, were securely driven with short latency, showed irregular tuning with a preference for low frequencies and were either EE or excited only by the contralateral ear (EO). The differences between claustrum and putamen responses can be related to differences in connections with the auditory cortical fields and with auditory thalamus. Some neurons were also tested for visual responsiveness: auditory and visual cells were intermingled in both nuclei and only a small percentage of cells were bimodal. In contrast to the visual and somatosensory input to claustrum, which are derived from primary cortical fields, the auditory input to claustrum is apparently derived from non-primary cortical regions, suggesting a fundamentally different role for processing of auditory information in claustrum.

    Notes: Summary Single unit activity was studied in the intermediate and deep layers of the superior colliculus in two trained cats. Eye movements were recorded with a magnetic search coil, the head being fixed. Discharge rates which varied as a function of eye position were consistently observed in 7 of 67 (about 10%) of the sample of eye movement-related units. These units showed similar changes in firing rate as a function of eye position in total darkness and during task related fixation of visual targets and thus appear to convey an “eye position” signal. Their activity may originate either from proprioception or from corollary discharge.

    Notes: Summary Dichoptic presentation of patterns similar in shape but of very different contrast results in the perception of only the high contrast pattern (binocular suppression). When recording from binocular neurons of the cat visual cortex, we have found an effect which is strikingly similar to this perceptual phenomenon. If a high and a low contrast grating are presented simultaneously, one to each eye, the cell's response to the low contrast stimulus is suppressed.

    Notes: Summary The location of bulbar neurones with axons projecting to the ipsi- and contralateral trigeminal motor nucleus were investigated in cats anaesthetized with sodium pentobarbital. Wheat germ agglutinin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase (WGA-HRP) was injected in amounts of 5–24 nl. A volume-calibrated microelectrode was used for recording of evoked potentials and pressure injection of WGA-HRP. The injection site was guided by the position where a maximal antidromic response was evoked by electrical stimulation of the masseteric nerve. The survival time was 19–22 h. In preparations with the depot located in the masseteric subnucleus retrogradely stained neurones were found bilaterally in the borderzone of the trigeminal motor nucleus. Dense populations of stained neurones were observed ipsi- and contralaterally in the dorsal division of the main sensory trigeminal nucleus and the subnucleus-γ of the oral nucleus of the spinal trigeminal tract. Clusters of WGA-HRP-neurones were observed bilaterally in the lateral tegmental field at the level of the subnucleus-β of the oral nucleus of the spinal trigeminal tract, bilaterally dorsal to the facial nucleus and contralaterally adjacent to the hypoglossal nucleus. No stained neurones were found in the gigantocellular reticular nucleus. A group of stained neurones was located in the marginal nucleus of brachium conjunctivum and some were found in the raphé nuclei near obex. Cell profiles were of two types: medium-sized neurones with a triangular profile and 30–40 μm diameter, and fusiform neurones 10×50–70 μm. Convergence of descending cortical and trigeminal afferent inputs on interneurones located in the lateral borderzone of the trigeminal motor nucleus, i.e. the intertrigeminal area, is reported in the preceding paper.

    Notes: Summary The membrane properties and the efficacy of excitatory and inhibitory synapses were studied in cat masseteric motoneurons (Mass Mns) after axotomy. In axotomized Mass Mns the slope of the primary range in the frequency-current relationship showed a higher gain than that of normal Mass Mns. The safety of antidromic invasion was increased and the initial segment component of antidromic action potentials could not be separated from the somadendritic component. In normal Mass Mns a single shock delivered to the orbital gyrus or the lingual nerve induced long-lasting inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs). In two-thirds of Mass Mns explored 30 days after axotomy, a single shock delivered to the orbital gyrus or the lingual nerve evoked a mixture of inhibitory and excitatory synaptic potentials. In Mass Mns 50 days after axotomy, we have demonstrated that the major fraction of the total sample of explored Mass Mns showed long-lasting excitatory postsynaptic potentials followed by IPSPs. The results suggest that in Mass Mns, axotomy is followed by the decline of synaptic efficacy of inhibitory rather than of excitatory synapses.

    Notes: Summary The purpose of this work was to determine the number and morphology of pyramidal tract (PT) axons in the cat, using electron microscopy, modern methods of fixation, and computer-assisted morphometric analysis. Sections taken at the level of the medullary pyramids in three animals were fixed and magnified up to 10,000 x to produce photomicrographs. Morphological data were entered into computer files for analysis by tracing axon perimeters on micrographs mounted on a digitizer tablet. The number of axons per PT averaged 415,000, of which 88% were myelinated and 12% were unmyelinated. 90% of the myelinated axons fell in the diameter range 0.5–4.5 μm. Axons larger than 9 μm diameter accounted for 1% of the total; the largest were 20–23 μm. Myelinated axon mean diameter was 1.98 μm; because of the skewed distribution, with many small axons and a few very large axons, median diameter was 1.60 μm. Size distribution was relatively uniform throughout the PT cross section, with all sizes represented in all regions. However, the more medial regions had a higher proportion of small fibers than the more lateral regions: mean medial diameter was 1.85 μm while mean lateral diameter was 2.09 μm. Myelin sheath thickness averaged 7.9% of fiber diameter for axons up to 11 μm, but was constant at 0.9 μm for larger fibers. Myelinated fibers were distorted from the circular shape in cross section, with a mean circularity index (or form factor) of 0.85, which implies that the fibers could swell about 15% without rupture of the cell membrane. Unmyelinated fibers averaged 0.18 μm diameter (range 0.05–0.6 μm); the largest unmyelinated axons were larger than the smallest myelinated axons. It is concluded that previous work greatly underestimated the number of axons in the cat pyramidal tract.

    Notes: Summary The morphology of vertical canal related second order vestibular neurons in the cat was studied with the intracellular horseradish peroxidase method. Neurons were identified by their monosynaptic potentials following electrical stimulation via bipolar electrodes implanted into individual semicircular canal ampullae. Anterior and posterior canal neurons projected primarily to contralateral or ipsilateral motoneuron pools (excitatory and inhibitory pathways, respectively). The axons of contralaterally projecting neurons crossed the midline at the level of the abducens nucleus and bifurcated into an ascending and a descending main branch which travelled in the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF). Two types of anterior canal neurons were observed, one with unilateral and one with bilateral oculomotor projection sites. For both neuron classes, the major termination sites were in the. contralateral superior rectus and inferior oblique subdivisions of the oculomotor nucleus. In neurons which terminated bilaterally, major collaterals recrossed the midline within the oculomotor nucleus to reach the ipsilateral superior rectus motoneuron pool. Other, less extensive, termination sites of both neuron classes were in the contralateral vestibular nuclear complex, the facial nucleus, the medullary and pontine reticular formation, midline areas within and neighboring the raphé nuclei, and the trochlear nucleus. The ascending main axons continued further rostrally to reach the interstitial nucleus of Cajal and areas around the fasciculus retroflexus. The descending branches proceeded further caudal in the medial vestibulo-spinal tract but were not followed to their spinal target areas. In addition to two previously described posterior canal related neuron types (Graf et al. 1983), we found neurons with bilateral oculomotor terminals and a spinal collateral. Typical for posterior canal neurons, the major termination sites were in the trochlear nucleus (superior oblique motoneurons) and in the inferior rectus subdivision of the oculomotor nucleus. Axon collaterals recrossed the midline to reach ipsilateral inferior rectus motoneurons. The axons of ipsilaterally projecting neurons ascended through the reticular formation to join the MLF caudal to the trochlear nucleus. The main target sites of anterior canal related neurons were in the trochlear nucleus and the inferior rectus subdivision of the oculomotor nucleus. Minor collaterals reached the pontine reticular formation and areas in between the fiber bundles of the ipsilateral MLF. In some cases, small collaterals crossed the midline within the oculomotor nucleus to terminate in the inferior rectus subdivision on the contralateral side. The axon proceeded further rostral to project to the interstitial nucleus of Cajal and beyond. The main termination sites of posterior canal neurons were in the superior rectus and inferior oblique subdivisions of the oculomotor nucleus. Minor collaterals were also observed to reach the midline area within the oculomotor nucleus, however, prospective contralateral termination sites could not be identified. More rostral projections were found in the interstitial nucleus of Cajal. The described axonal arborization of second order vestibular neurons reflects the organization of intrinsic coordinate systems as exemplified by the geometry of the semicircular canal and the extraocular muscle planes. These neurons are interpreted to provide a matrix for coordinate system transformation, i.e. from vestibular into oculomotor reference frames, and to play a role in gaze control and related reflexes by distributing their signals to multiple termination sites.

    Notes: Summary Neurons in cat medial prefrontal cortex, anterior limbic cortex and possibly the indusium griseum were identified by antidromic invasion as having axonal projections towards the medial preoptic region, using both macro- and microstimulation techniques. These projecting axons were found to be of slow conduction velocity (0.2–4.8 m/s) and to in some cases also send branches towards the anteromedial thalamus, mediodorsal thalamus, ventromedial tegmentum, basolateral amygdala or medial forebrain bundle. Threshold-depth curves for axons excited by microstimulation in the medial preoptic region were very steep, with proportionality constants of 0.3–7.1 μm/μA. Calculations based on the threshold-depth curves confirmed that microstimulation was most probably only activating axons within the MPO, and current spread to lateral fibers of passage following macrostimulation in the MPO was not detected in the branching studies.

    Notes: Summary We have studied the orderliness of representation of visual space in the medial and lateral banks of the middle suprasylvian sulcus. Penetrations were made either parallel to the sulcus, in one bank or the other, or vertical, thus crossing the sulcus between the postero-medial (PMLS) and posterolateral (PLLS) divisions of this area. In some cases we found clear evidence for topographical order in the representation of the visual field with a tendency (greater in PMLS than in PLLS) for the receptive fields of cells recorded deeper in the walls of the sulcus to lie closer to the area centralis, but along many penetrations the receptive fields were so large and so scattered that no retinotopic arrangement could be discerned. In PMLS the receptive fields of the majority of units we studied were centred below and close to the horizontal meridian, whereas in PLLS they were distributed over both the upper and lower visual fields with an over-representation of the upper field. Receptive fields were significantly larger in PLLS (mean field area = 442.2 deg2) than in PMLS (mean area = 154.4 deg2); there was also less clear correlation between receptive field size and eccentricity in PLLS (correlation coefficient = +0.25) than in PMLS (corr. coeff. = +0.72). Analysis of the distance between the receptive field centres of consecutively recorded units demonstrated that the mean scatter in both PMLS and PLLS amounts to about half the average receptive field diameter. In summary the topographical representation of visual space is less orderly in PLLS, and may involve a wider area of the visual field. These findings may relate to the segregated visual cortical and extrageniculate thalamic connections that the medial and lateral banks of the LS receive.

    Notes: Summary 1. Intracellular recordings of various motoneurons of proximal hindlimb muscles were performed on thalamic paralyzed cats, during fictive locomotion that was either spontaneous or evoked by stimulation of the subthalamic region. 2. In motoneurons innervating sartorius (medialis and lateralis), vasti (intermedius, medialis and lateralis) and anterior biceps-semimembranous, one depolarization occurred in each locomotor cycle, alternating with a phase of repolarization that was synchronous with the activation of the antagonistic muscle nerve. This latter phase could be decreased or reversed by intracellular injection of chloride ions or current, revealing the presence of inhibitory inputs onto motoneurons. 3. The pattern of membrane potential variations was more complex in motoneurons of rectus femoris and posterior biceps-semitendinosus muscles, but phases of chloride dependent inhibition were nevertheless identified, mainly during the sartorius nerve activation in the case of rectus femoris, and during the vasti and anterior biceps-semimembranosus nerve activations in the case of posterior biceps-semitendinosus. These inhibitory influences were shown to be controlled by the level of activity in exteroceptive afferents. 4. The characteristics of the excitatory and inhibitory inputs to the hindlimb motoneurons identified here are discussed in relation with the organization of the central pattern generator for locomotion.

    Notes: Summary The orientation sensitivity of LGN cells to flickering square-wave gratings was measured in urethane-anaesthetized paralyzed cats. The mean ratio of the amplitude of peak responses to optimally oriented gratings to that elicited by gratings of the least effective orientation was 3.0 ± 0.3 (S.E.). 58% of the recorded neurons responded best to orientations within 30° of the meridional line joining their receptive field center with the fixation points (area centralis), implying that they were more sensitive to visual contours pointing to the center of the retina.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of exogenous dopamine on the normoxic hypercapnic ventilatory response were assessed in nine chloralose-urethane anesthetized cats using the technique of dynamic end-tidal forcing. The ventilatory responses to step changes in end-tidalP CO 2 (PETCO 2) were measured before (control), during and after intravenous infusion of dopamine (420 μg·kg−1·h−1). Each response was separated into a slow central and a fast peripheral chemoreflex loop by fitting two exponential functions to the measured ventilation. Both loops were described by a CO2 sensitivity, time constant, time delay and a single off-set B (extrapolated PETCO 2, of the steady-state response curve at zero ventilation). Dopamine infusion only caused a significant increase of B (mean 0.3 kPa,P〈0.0001) compared to control; the other model parameters were not significantly affected. After dopamine infusion B returned to significantly lower values (mean 0.2 kPa,P=0.006) than in control. In two additional cats the dopamine administered to the blood which was artificially perfusing the brainstem, did not affect ventilation. We conclude that in normoxic cats the effect of exogenous dopamine on the ventilatory response to CO2 is due to a CO2 independent inhibition of the ventilatory drive which originates outside the brainstem.

    Notes: Abstract The response of single chemoafferent fibres to hypoxic and hypercapnic stimulation was studied in vitro under different experimental conditions: 1. control, 2. 24 h after reserpinization (5 mg/kg iv) and 3. 18 h after iv injection of α-methyl-p-tyrosine (100 mg/kg in the rabbit, and 1. control and 2. 24 h after reserpinization (5 mg/kg ip) in the cat. The spontaneous activity was decreased by monoamine depletion. The amplitude of the response to hypoxia and to hypercapnia was decreased by reserpinization in the rabbit and in the cat, the change being less marked in the latter species. Similarly, treatment with·α-methyl-p-tyrosine decreased the ability of chemoreceptors to respond to hypoxia and hypercapnia and, in a few instances, these receptors could only be excited by superfusion of nitrogencquilibrated medium. These results emphasize to possible role of monoamine, and particularly dopamine, in modifying the sensitivity of arterial chemoreceptors to their natural stimuli.

    Notes: Abstract Neural activity of lumbar visceral afferents supplying the urinary bladder and urethra was analyzed systematically in the cat. The afferent fibres were isolated either from the white rami L3 and L4 in a preparation with closed peritoneal cavity, or from the lumbar splanchnic nerves in a preparation with open peritoneal cavity and investigated for various functional parameters. Seventy five single units and 9 multiunit bundles were analyzed. 1) About 50% of the afferent units had some ongoing activity (0.2 to 1 imp/s). Two thirds of the afferent axons were thin myelinated (conduction velocity 3–15 m/s), the rest were presumably unmyelinated (conduction velocity below 2 m/s). 2) The receptive fields of the afferent units consisted —with one exception — of single mechanosensitive sites on the surface of the bladder and urethra. Most receptive fields were situated on the dorsal side of the bladder. 3) Afferents with receptive fields on or in the bladder wall responded in a graded manner to passive distension and isovolumetric contraction at intravesical pressures ranging from about 10 to 70 mm Hg. The thresholds for exciting the afferent units ranged from less than 10 mm Hg to about 30 mm Hg intravesical pressure, most of them being less than 20 mm Hg. Generally, the discharge rate of the afferent units gave a reliable representation of the intravesical pressure to the lumbar spinal cord. 4) Urethral units exhibited either no responses to the graded distensions and contractions of the urinary bladder, or responded with low discharge rates at higher intravesical pressures. 5) The results do not support the notion that noxious events in the urinary bladder are encoded by “specific” nociceptive visceral afferents to the lumbar spinal cord but possibly by some other mechanism of encoding.

    Notes: Summary The distribution of serotonin-containing nerve fibers in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the rat, cat, and monkey (Macaca fuscata) was studied by use of the peroxidase-antiperoxidase method and an antiserum against serotonin. In all three species, the pattern of fibers was denser in the ventral portion of the LGN (LGNv) than in the dorsal nuclear portion (LGNd). In the LGNd of rat, serotonin-immunoreactive fibers were evenly distributed in the form of a dense network, but in cat and monkey there were marked regional differences. Serotonin-immunoreactive elements were most numerous in the C complex and medial interlaminal nucleus of cat, and in the S layer and interlaminar zones of Macaca fuscata.

    Notes: Summary The arrangement of preterminal and terminal axon branches in the primary sensory endings of cat tenuissimus muscle spindles was studied using whole-mount and serial-section techniques. Although in every case one firstorder preterminal branch was supplied exclusively to the bag1 type of intrafusal muscle fibre, the preterminal branching patterns differed considerably in detail. Terminals varied widely in size and location. Their precise form varied according to their position on the intrafusal muscle fibres rather than their relationship to preterminal branches. Terminals derived from separate preterminal branches remained separate and did not fuse with themselves or each other. Individually bag1 fibres had most terminals, chain fibres least. The surface of the muscle fibres were differentially indented by the terminals, least in bag1 fibres and most in chain fibres. The results are discussed in relation to mechanosensory transduction and to the factors involved in determining the form of the primary ending.

    Notes: Summary Light-microscopic autoradiography was used to localize the cellular sites for neutral amino acid uptake in submandibular and sublingual salivary gland epithelia. The vasculature of isolated glands was perfused for 3–5 min with either L-(3-3H)serine or L-(4-3H)phenylalanine and then fixed by perfusion with buffered glutaraldehyde. In the submandibular gland the small neutral amino acid L-serine and the aromatic amino acid L-phenylalanine were localized to central acinar cells, demilunar cells and ductal cells. In the sublingual gland silver grains associated with each of these tritiated amino acids were localized to central acinar and ductal cells. Perfusion of both submandibular and sublingual glands with unlabelled L-serine (25 mM) or L-phenylalanine (30 mM) resulted in a significant decrease in the silver grain density associated with each labelled amino acid. The absence of silver grains in the lumina of acinar and ductal cells and the presence of tight junctions near the apical surface of the epithelium strongly suggest that the initial uptake of these amino acids was mediated by basolateral plasma membrane carriers.

    Notes: Summary A modified staining technique for transverse tubular and sarcoplasmic reticular systems was used to investigate their occurrence in different types of intrafusal muscle fibres in cat tail spindles. Intrafusal muscle fibres can be divided into three basic regions, namely, the periaxial space (A-region), intracapsular area (B-region) and the extracapsular area (C-region); the components of these systems were seen to vary in structure and distribution. The occurrence of these systems also varied among the different types of intrafusal muscle fibres, namely, the bag1, bag2 and chain fibres. In bag1 fibres components were sparse in the A-region, increased slightly in the B-region, but were most developed in the C-region; triads were consistently located at the border between A- and I-bands. In bag2 fibres membrane components were noted in the A-region but were more abundant in the B-region where some tubular components showed transverse and longitudinal branches linked together in the form of a network; membrane systems diminished towards the C-region. The majority of triads were located within the A-bands. In chain fibres the membrane systems occurred more commonly in the A-region, while in the B- and C-regions, the transverse tubular system possessed numerous transverse and longitudinal branches forming irregularly distributed tubular networks. Some tubular branches were dilated, while other branches terminated as sacs among arrays of the sarcoplasmic reticular system in I-bands. Some transverse tubules bifurcated into two branches with numbers of dilated sarcoplasmic reticular cisternae lying on either side, or between, the branches. Triads sometimes occurred between A- and I-bands, but, generally, were situated well within A-bands.

    Notes: Summary The effect of weight-lifting, which induced muscular enlargement, on fiber number was tested in the flexor carpi radialis muscle by operantly conditioning 6 cats to flex their right wrist against increasing resistance for an average of 101 weeks. The left was used as a control. At the end of training, the cats were performing “one-arm“ lifts with an average of 57% of their body weight. There was an 11% greater muscle weight (P〈0.01) and 9% (P〈0.02) more fibers in the exercised muscles from the right limb than in the left. This study using a different method, supports our earlier observations that prolonged weight-lifting exercise significantly increases the total number of muscle fibers.

    Notes: This study involves L-lysine oligo peptides, protected at the N-terminus by the Nps and at the ε-amino functions by Boc groups. Two series were prepared from dimer to octamer, one containing the p-[(cholestan-3β-yloxy)carbonyl]benzyl, the other one the benzyl ester group at the C-terminus. Conformational analyses were performed by IR absorption. The occurrence of the intermolecular β-structure in the solid state and in CH2Cl2 solution was demonstrated for the highest oligomers. The relative stabilities of the self-associated species were determined by adding a variety of polar solvents to the CH2Cl2 solutions. The cholestanyl-containing peptides have a lower propensity to self-aggregate than the benzyl-ester analogues. Self-aggregation and decreasing solubility run in parallel. It was also directly shown that soluble urea derivatives may disrupt intermolecular H-bonds in CH2Cl2, a point of practical interest, particularly in solid-phase peptide synthesis.

    Notes: Hyperfine data and g factors are reported for the radical cations of tetrathiafulvalene (TTF; 1) and of its derivatives 2-13. From the intense satellite spectra of 1+-13+ not only the coupling constants of the 33S isotopes in the TTF moiety could be determined, but also, in favourable cases, those of the 13C isotopes in the central double bond. The former values range from 0.370 (8+) to 0.470 mT (4+) and the latter from 0.255 (8+) to 0.360 mT (4+) in the radical cations of bis(ethylenedithio)-TTF (8+) and tetracyano-TTF (4+). The radical cation of TTF (1+) exhibits intermediate values, 0.425 for the 33S and 0.285 mT for the 13C isotopes. The spin population in 1+-13+ resides, to a large extent, in the central S2C = CS2 part of the π-system. It tends to increase (decrease) by substitution with electron-accepting (donating) groups in the 2,3,6,7-positions of TTF.

    Notes: Conformational factors have been found responsible for the dramatic change in odor between (-)-deoxyambreinolide (12) and its (+)-epi derivative 13. The presumably molecular event during the receptor interaction has been simulated by the diastereoisomeric 11-methyl-ambrox derivatives 3 and 5 as model compounds.

    Notes: The steric requirements of leaving groups for 14 bridgehead derivatives have been examined using MM2 calculations. The strain varies almost monotonously throughout the series upon variation of the leaving group from H to C1, OH, CH3, CH3CH2O, (CH3)3CO, (CH3)3C and no significant trends for differential F-strain effects are detected expect for the perhydrophenalene derivative 13. The experimental rates of solvolysis of bridgehead derivatives correlate well with the calculated steric energy differences between substrate R-X and the corresponding carbenium ion R⊕. However, the strain calculations using the more recent force-fields (MM2) disagree, in part, with those reported in the literature: chloride and p-toluenesulfonate leaving groups correlate with identical slopes, and the perhydrotriquinacene derivative 10 shows no anomalous behavior. The calculations suggest that F-strain and C,C-hyperconjugation should not play any dominant role in bridgehead solvolysis.

    Notes: The Synthesis and the Thermal Decay of 1,2-Diazabenzo[e]semibullvalene and its Relation to the Thermolysis of BenzobenzvaleneThe [4 + 2]-photoadduct of naphthalene and 4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3,5-dione (PTAD) was subjected to a triplet-sensitized di-π-methane rearrangement. Hydrolysis of the resulting urazol 15 gave a stable semicarbazide 16 which by nickel-peroxide oxidation gave 1,2-diazabenzo[e]semibullvalene (10). At 40 °C, the latter decays in CHCl3 solution to produce benzofulvene (2) as the principal product, accompanied by benzobenzvalene (1) and small amounts of naphthalene. This decay reaction is rationalized in terms of a 1,3-dipolar cycloreversion which is followed by denitrogenation to give indenyl carbene (19). The thermolysis of 1 in solution is believed to proceed via the same carbene. At present, these findings provide only a partial answer to the benzobenzvalene enigma (i.e., in solution at 150°, 1 gives 2, but in the gas-phase at 300°, 1 yields naphthalene). MeOH is shown to add readily to 10 in a homologous Michael addition.

    Notes: Formal Total Synthesis of (±)-Isocomen by Application of the α-Alkinon CyclizationA total synthesis of the racemic form of the sesquiterpene isocomene (A) was accomplished by application of the cyclopentenone anellation B→D (Scheme 1) which includes the α-alkynone cyclization C→D, a gas-phase flow thermolytic process. Starting with the known product 2 (Scheme 3) of the anellation B→D, the elaboration of ring C of A proceeded in 9 steps to the α-alkynone 16 (Scheme 5) which was cyclized at 540° selectively to give the angularly fused triquinane 4 (77%). A two-step procedure then led to 5 (Scheme 6), a last but one intermediate in a known total synthesis of (±)-A. The conversion of 16 to 4 also demonstrated the compatibility of an acetoxy function with the anellation sequence B→D.

    Notes: On irradiation at -20°, 5,6-epimino-5,6-dihydro-β-ionone (E)-3 rearranges to the products 6 and 7. The N-methyl derivative (E)-4 does not lead to any photoproduct upon brief irradiation; on prolonged irradiation, only unspecific photodecomposition is observed. The N-acylated derivative (E)-5 undergoes rapid (E)/(Z)-isomerization and slow rearrangement to 12 and 13.

    Notes: Synthesis, Reactions, and Photochemistry of PteridinethionesThe pteridine-6(5H)-thione 1 and various pteridine-7(8H)-thiones (13, 22, 26) have been synthesized, and their photochemical reactivity has been investigated under aerobic conditions. The formation of different photooxidation products is pH-dependent. In acidic to neutral media, disulfides (2, 15, 23, 29) are formed, whereas neutral to alkaline solutions favour the formation of pteridinesulfinic (3, 17) and -sulfonic acids (6, 16, 24, 30). Prolonged irradiation of the disulfides 2 and 15 led to the intensively yellow fluorescing bis(thio)dilumazines 19 and 20, respectively.

    Notes: The sponge Cacospongia scalaris (family Thorectidae), collected at the Cap de Nice (Cǒte d'Azur), is shown to contain a series of truncated, linear C21 difuran terpenoids comprising the known sponge products furospongin-1 ((+)-1), furospongin-2 (2), and dihydrofurospongin-2 ((-)-(E)-3), besides the new products cacospongione A ((-)-4), cacospongienone A ((-)-(Z)-6), and cacospongienone B ((-)-(E)-6), whose absolute configurations have been assigned by chemical correlations with (+)-1. Possibly, one of the two cacospongienones is an artifact, as these two terpenoids interconvert on standing. This is the first finding of linear C21 difuran terpenoids, which are typical of the Spongiidae, in a member of the family Thorectidae.

    Notes: A synthesis of the isosteric mono-phosphonate analogues 2a and 19 of the β-and α-D-fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, respectively, is described. Chain elongation of the 1-deoxy-1-nitro-D-arabinose 3 (Scheme 1) by a Henry reaction with paraformaldehyde followed by protection of the resulting alcohol (methoxymethyl ether) and a radical-chain substitution by nitromethane anion gave the key intermediates, the gluco-anhydroalditol 6 and the manno-anhydroalditol 7. These products equilibrated under basic conditions. Conversion of 7 to the aldehyde 9, Abramov reaction of 9 with diphenyl phosphite followed by deoxygenation according to Barton gave the phosphonate 11 (Scheme 2). Selective hydrogenolysis of 11, phosphorylation and deprotection gave 2 which was converted to the tetrasodium salt 2a. Similarly, 6 was transformed into the isosteric phosphonate analogue 19 of the α-D-fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Scheme 3).

    Notes: The conformational properties of Aib-containing oligopeptides having the propensity to adopt amphiphilic helical conformations were investigated by CD spectroscopy in solution. The peptides CF3COOH.H-Pro-Glu-[Ala-Aib-Glu-Aib-]4Gly-OH (I), HCl.H-Pro-Ala-Aib-[Gul-Ala-Ala-Aib-]2Glu-Ala-Aib-Gly-PEGM (II), and CF3COOH.H-Ala-Aib-[Glu-Glu-Ala-Aib-]3PEGM (III) were synthesized according to the general principles of the liquid-phase method for peptide synthesis. Peptides I-III exhibit helical conformations in CF3CH2OH, MeOH, and in H2O at acidic pH; however, at pH 7, only II forms a stable helix, whereas I and III are predominantly in an unordered conformation. Some general features for the construction of amphiphilic helices are discussed in the light of the experimental data.

    Notes: The photo-oxidation of [2.2.2]hericene (6) gave successively the endoperoxides 11 (9,10,11,12-tetramethylidene-4,5-dioxatricyclo[6.2.2.02,7]dodec-2(7)-ene), the bis-endoperoxide 16 (15,16-dimethylidene-4,5,11,12-tetraoxatetracyclo[6.6.2.02,7.o9,14]hexadeca-2(7),9(14)-diene), and the tris-endoperoxide 19 (4,5,11,12,17,18-hexaoxapentacyclo[6.6.6.02,7.09,14.015,20]icosa-2(7),9(14),15(20)-triene). The endoperoxides 11, 16, and 19 were formed in the presence or in the absence of a dye sensitizer. The sensitized photo-oxidations of 2,3,5,6-tetramethylidenebicyclo[2.2.2]octane (4), 5,6,7,8-tetramethylidenebicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene (5), 2,3,5,6-tetramethylidenebicyclo[2.2.1]-heptane (7), and 2,3,5,6-tetramethylidene-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane (8) gave successively the corresponding mono-endoperoxides 9, 10, 12, and 13 and the bis-endoperoxides 14, 15, 17, and 18, respectively. Low-temperature NMR spectra of the bis-endoperoxides 14 and 16 indicated that their C2 and Cs conformers have the same stability. Similarly, there was no difference in the enthalpy of the D3 and C2 conformers of the tris-endoperoxide 19. The following reactivity sequence was observed for the sensitized photo-oxidations of 6-8 and 5,6-dimethylidene-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene (23): 6 + 1O2→11 〉 7 + 1O2→12〉8 + 1O2→13〉23 + 1O2→24, a trend parallel with that reported for the ethylenetetracarbonitrile (TCNE) cycloadditions to the same polyenes. The rate-constant ratios k1/k2 and k2/k3 for the three successive photo-oxidations of [2.2.2]hericene (6) did not differ significantly from unity, in contrast with the Diels-Alder additions of 6. Similarly, the rate-constant ratios k1/k2 for the two successive photo-oxidations of tetraenes 7 and 8 were significantly smaller than those reported for the successive TCNE cycloadditions to 7 to 8. The endoperoxide formations are not sensitive to the change in the exothermicity of the reactions but they are sensitive to the electronic properties (IP's) of the polyenes.

    Notes: Reactions of 3-Substituted 5-Trifluoromethyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-one with NucleophilesThe 3-substituted 5-trifluoromethyl-1,3,4-oxadiazolones 3, 4, 13, and 15 are attacked by N- and S-nucleophiles either at the ring C-atom C(2) or C(5). Depending on the nature of the substituent and the nucleophile, the ring-opening products 7, 10, 12, and 14 or the ring-enlargement products 16 are formed. The reaction of 4 with thiols is a novel variant of the Grob-type fragmentation. The reactivity of the 1,3,4-oxadiazolones is compared with that of the analogous 1,3,4-thiadiazolones. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy.

    Notes: Application of Selective 13C{1H}-NOE Difference Spectroscopy in Determination of the Configuration of (Z)/(E)-IsomersHeteronuclear 13C{1H}-NOE studies have been performed to elucidate the configuration at the imino double bond in N,N′-Dicyanoquinonediimines. Selective low-power irradiation of the neighbouring ring protons in compounds 1-5 increases the signal intensities of CN as well as of the imino-C-atoms in the 13C-NMR spectra. The increase of signal intensity can easily be detected by the difference spectroscopy. The results of this investigation are in good agreement with a recently published study on the stereochemistry of N,N′-Dicyanoquinonediimines, based on the interpretation of 13C-chemical shifts.

    Notes: The tetra(tert-butyl)[14]annuleno[14]annulene 1 is transformed, via alkali metal reduction, into its radical monoanion, dianion, radical trianion, and tetraanion. The paramagnetic species are characterized by ESR and ENDOR spectroscopy and the diamagnetic species by 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Well-resolved ESR and NMR spectra can only be obtained, if the reduction is carefully monitored. For the interpretation of the data, the ions derived from the structurally related [14]- and [22]annulenes 3 and 5 as well from the tetra(tert-butyl)[14]annuleno[18]annulene 2 serve as suitable model compounds. While the behavior of the neutral annulenoannulene 1 is governed by that of the [14]annulene-subunit, the corresponding ionic systems can best be described as macrocyclic perimeters. This outcome can be rationalized by the nodal properties of the frontier MO's.

    Notes: Base-induced elimination of the sulfonium salt 2i in the presence of furan affords the addition products 7 and 8, derived from 1H-cyclopropa[l]phenanthrene (1) and the isomeric cyclopropene 5a (Scheme 3). Upon oxidation, the selenide 2c yields phenanthrene-9-methanol (9), presumably via 1. No evidence for the intermediate 1 is obtained from sulfoxide pyrolysis with 2e, which leads to products formed by radical pathways (Scheme 5). Reductive elimination of the disulfone 3b gives half-reduction to monosulfone 2g and complete reduction to cyclopropane 2 as well as 9-methylphenanthrene (15), but no evidence for the intermediate 1.

    Notes: Intramolecular 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition Reactions of Alkenyl-substituted 3,4-DiarylsydnonesThe 3,4-diarylsydnones 1 and 12a-e with an allyl or alkenyloxy substituent on the N(3)-phenyl group have been synthesized by classical methods starting from 2-allylaniline and the corresponding alkenyloxyanilines, respectively (Schemes 2 and 3). Whereas the allyl-substituted sydnone 1 undergoes an intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition at room temperature in solution to yield 13 (Scheme 4), the alkenyloxy-substituted sydnones 12a-e are thermally stable. On irradiation of 1 and 12a-d, formation of the fused dihydropyrazoles 2 and 14a-d (Schemes 1 and 5) is observed. In the case of 12d, the yield of 14d is very low, and the symmetric 1,2,3-triazole 15a has been isolated as the main product. A very likely reaction mechanism for the formation of the photoproducts involves decarboxylation of the sydnones to give a nitrile-imine which undergoes an intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition onto the C=C bond.

    Notes: The ozonolysis of cis-3,4a,7,7a-tetrahydro-3,3-dimethyl-6,7a-diphenylcyclopenta[1,2,4]trioxine (1) in CH2Cl2 at -78° gave the secondary endo ozonide 2 (43% yield) and an acetal 3 (27% yield) derived from O-insertion at the ortho position of the C(7a) phenyl substituent. Both structures were elucidated by X-ray. Repetition of the ozonolysis in MeOH/CH2Cl220:3 at -78° also gave the same two products in 12 and 15% yields, repectively, together with the hemiperacetal 4 (54% yield) formally derived from the secondary ozonide by addition of MeOH.

Phenylselenation and subsequent elimination give an enantiomerically pure enol acetal 10 of aceto-acetic acid. Some reactions of 10 have been carried out, such as Michael addition (→11), alkylation on the CH3 substituent (→13), hydrogenation of the C=C bond (→1a) and photochemical cycloaddition (→16). The overall reactions are substitutions on the one stereogenic center of the starting β-hydroxy acid without racemization and without using a chiral auxiliary.

    Notes: The structure of the α-chloronitroso ether 1, obtained from the hydroximolactone 2 and tert-butyl hypochlorite (89%), was established by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The [4 + 2] cycloadditions of 1 with the dienes 3 and 8-11 led to the N-unsubstituted 3,6-dihydro-2H-1,2-oxazines 6 and 12-16 in high enantiomeric excess (Table 1). Due to the additional α-alkoxy group, the reactivity of 2 is much superior to the one of known α-chloronitrosoalkanes. The reactive conformation of 1 was deduced from the X-ray analysis as well as the high diastereoselectivity of the cycloadditions. The importance of the α-alkoxy group was evidenced from the similar reactivity of the racemic α-chloronitroso ethers 25-27 which were prepared from the hydroximo ethers 28-30 and tert-butyl hypochlorite.

    Notes: 1-C-Nitroglycals. Preparation and Reaction with Some Nitrogen NucleophilesAcetylation of the 1-deoxy-1-nitromannopyranoses 2 and 6 was accompagnied by spontanous β-elimination to give the 1-C-nitroglucals 3 and 7, respectively, while acetylation of the gluco- and galacto-configurated 1-deoxy-1-nitropyranoses 8 and 14 gave the acetates 9 and 15, respectively (Scheme 1). The acetylation of the ribo- and arabino-configurated 1-deoxy-1-nitrofuranoses 19 and 21 also occurred without β-elimination to give the acetates 20 and 22, respectively (Scheme 2). Mild base treatment of the previously described O-acetylnitro-β-D-glucose 4, the O-acetylnitro-β-D-pyranoses 9 and 15, and the O-acetylnitro-β-D-furanoses 17, 20, and 22 gave the 1-C-nitroglycals 3, 10, 16, 18 and 23, respectively (Scheme 1 and 2). The previously obtained 1-C-nitroglucal 3 was deacetylated by treatment with MeOH in the presence of KCN or sodium m-nitrophenolate to give the free nitroglucal 5. Deacetylation of the benzylidene protected 1-C-nitroglucal 10 (MeOH, NaOMe) gave the 4,6-O-benzylidene-1-C-nitroglucal 11 and traces of the 2-O-methyl-1-C-nitromannoses 12 and 13. The UV, IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra of the 1-C-nitroglycals are discussed. In solution, the 1-C-nitroglycals 1, 5, 7, 10, 11, and 16 adopt approximately a 4H5- and 3 a flattened 4H5 conformation. The structure of 5 was established by X-ray analysis. In the solid state, 5 adopts a sofa conformation, which is stabilized by an intramolecular H-bond. The β-addition of NH3 to the 1-C-nitroglucals 7 and 10 was followed by an O→ N acetyl migration to give exclusively anomeric pairs of the N-acetyl-1-nitromannosamine derivatives 24/25 and 26/27, respectively (Scheme 3). The β-addition of methylamine, octadecylamine, and tryptamine to the 1-C-nitroglucal 11 also stereoelectronically controlled and gave the crystalline N-alkyl-1-nitromannosamines 28, 29, and 30, respectively. The stereoelectronically controlled β-addition of NH3 to the 1-C-nitrogalactal 16, followed by acetylation, yielded exclusively the talosamine derivative 31, while the reversible β-addition of azide ions to 16 gave the anomeric 2-azido-1-nitrogalactoses 32 and 33. The β-addition of azide ions to the 1-C-nitroglucal 1 led to the 2-azido-1-nitromannose 34. In the presence of excess formaldehyde, this addition was followed by a Henry reaction. Chromatography of the crude product was accompagnied by solvolytic removal of the NO2 group to give the 3-azidomannoheptulose 35 in high yields (Scheme 4).

    Notes: The complexation properties of the open-chain N2S2 ligands 1-4 are described and compared to those of analogous N2S2 macrocycles 5-7. With Cu2+, the open-chain ligands give complexes with the stoichiometry CuL2+ and CuLOH+, the stabilities and absorption spectra of which have been determined. The ligand field exerted by these ligands is relatively constant and independent of the length of the chain. With Cu+, the species CuLH23+, CuLH2+, and CuL+ were identified and their stabilities measured. The redox potentials calculated from the equilibrium constants and measured by cyclic voltammetry agree and lie between 250 and 280 mV against SHE. The comparison between open-chain and cyclic ligands shows that (1) a macrocyclic effect is found for Cu2+ but not for Cu+, (2) the ligand-field strength is very different for the two types of ligands, and (3) the redox potentials span a larger interval for the macrocyclic than for the open-chain complexes.

    Notes: The chemical synthesis of the ribo-hexamer C-A-A-C-C-A has been achieved by two different routes applying the phosphotriester approach and using the (p-nitrophenyl)ethyl group for phosphate protection. The 2′-hydroxy groups as well as the terminal 2′,3′-diol function have been blocked by the (tert-butyl) dimethylsilyl group as permanent protection throughout all the synthetic steps with great success. Final deblocking of all protective groups could be performed with 80% yield to give the hexamer 23. The various protected intermediates have been characterized by elemental analysis and UV spectra.

    Notes: The low-temperature addition of tertiary phosphites to [(allyl)Fe (CO)4]+X- complexes proceeds regio- and stereospecifically and produces metal-coordinated β-olefinic trialkoxyphosphonium ions. These can be converted by various routes into the uncomplexed phosphonium salts or phosphonates. Similar reactions of acyclic [(dienyl)Fe(CO)3]+X- compounds give metal-coordinated (2,4-dien-1-yl)trialkoxyphosphonium salts or dialkyl (2,4-dien-1-yl)phosphonates. The mechanisms and their relationship to the classical Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction are discussed. The new compounds are characterized, if possible, by 1H-, 13C-, and 31P-NMR spectra. The new phosphonium salts and phosphonates, potentially useful for Wittig-Horner reactions, are difficult to obtain by conventional routes.

    Notes: Preferred conformation, orientation, and accumulation of substance P on a neutral hydrophilic-hydrophobic interface was estimated and extrapolated to interactions with neutral and anionic lipid bilayer membranes according to our general procedure. Nine residues at the C-terminus were predicted to be transferred to the hydrophobic phase as an α-helical domain, oriented quite perpendicularly on the membrane surface. The N-terminal residues remained in the aqueous phase with their charges exposed to H2O. The molecular amphiphilic moment vector was strong (338 arbitrary units) and pointed its hydrophilic end towards the N-terminus, only 15° away from the helix axis. The molecular electric dipole moment vector was also strong (124 debye) and pointed its positive end towards the N-terminus, only 9° away from the helix axis. Thus, it reinforced the effect of the amphiphilic moment of a peptide intruding into the membrane dipole layer. The estimated dissociation constant for the equilibrium between membrane-bound and free substance P was Kd ≍ 46 mM for neutral membranes, and Kd ≍0.43 mM for anionic membranes with a Gouy-Chapman surface potential of -40 mV. Thus, substance P behaved similarly to dynorphin A and adrenocorticotropin peptides which insert their N-terminal message segments as perpendicularly oriented helical domains into membranes, whereas their C-terminal address segments remain in the aqueous phase as random coils. Substance P is the first instance of a neuropeptide which is expected to insert a C-terminal message into lipid membranes.

    Notes: Comparative CD studies with substance P (1), [Leu9]substance P ([Leu9]-1), and their shorter peptide segments supported the membrane structures predicted for substance P and [Leu9]substance P. They indicated that the C-terminal segments (from residue 3 or 4 onward) can adopt α-helical conformations in hydrophobic environments and on lipid membranes. The N-terminal segment, (residues 1-4) had a poly(proline)-like conformation in aqueous and hydrophobic surroundings. Residues 3 and 4 (Lys-Pro) appeared to belong to both domains and bring about the transition between the two. The estimated free energies of transfer for 1 and [Leu9]-1 from their random conformations in H2O to their partially helical conformations on an aqueous-hydrophobic interface are too small to allow detectable interaction with neutral lipid membranes at low concentrations. The two peptides should, however, interact detectably with anionic membranes because of favourable Boltzmann distribution factors. This prediction was shown to be correct for liposomes prepared from 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (neutral) and phosphatidylserine (anionic).

    Notes: IR data of the neuropeptide substance P (1) and its synthetic segments des-(Arg1-Gln6)-substance P (6), des-(Arg1-Pro4)-substance P (4), des-(Arg1-Lys3)-substance P (3), and des-Arg1-substance P (2) indicate predominant β-structures in the solid state and α-helical structures in CF3CH2OH (amide I band shape analysis). In MeOH, the spectra of 1 suggest a partly helical structure. On membranes prepared from 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, a C-terminal α-helix consisting of 8 or 9 peptide bonds appears to be induced (IR attenuated total reflection studies). Its perpendicular orientation on the membrane is suggested by the dichroic ratios of the amide-I and -II bands. This study is consistent with our CD experiments and lends support to the membrane structure of 1 predicted from the estimated amphiphilic moment, hydrophobic-association constant, and helix length.

    Notes: Carbophilic Additions of Organocuprates and 1,3-Thiazole-5(4H)-thionesOrganocuprates and 1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-thiones 1 react in THF at 0° via carbophilic addition onto the C—S bond to give 4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazole-5-thiols 3 (Scheme 3). This observation is in marked contrast to the previously described reaction of organolithium compounds and 1, which undergo a thiophilic addition onto the exocyclic S-atom. As an exception, treatment of the 1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-thione 1a with tert-butyl cuprate leads to 7a (Scheme 3).

    Notes: New Derivatives of 1,6-Methano[10]annulene by Rearrangement of Trimethylsilyl GroupsOxidation of derivatives of trimethylsilyl-substituted bicyclo[4.4.1]undeca-1,3,5,7-tetraenes 1-3 leads to 1,6-methano[10]annulenes. In the case of 2 and 3a, rearrangement of the trimethylsilyl group takes place. This rearrangement can be used to prepare 2,9-disubstituted 1,6-methano[10]annulenes.

    Notes: Cyclometallated complexes of the type cis-bis(2-phenylpyridine)platinum(II) (C22H16N2Pt) and cis-bis(2-(2′-thienyl)pyridine)platinum(II) (C18H12N2S2Pt) undergo thermal or photochemical oxidative addition (TOA or POA) reactions with a number of substrates. TOA (with CH3I, CH3CH2I etc.) yield mixtures of several isomers which rearrange slowly (within ca. one week at room temperature) to one of the possible cis-isomers. CH2Cl2, CHCl3, or (E)—ClCH=CHCl, e.g., do not react thermally. POA yield directly complexes of Pt(IV) with the halide and a σ-bonded C-atom in cis-position. The configuration, as assigned by extensive use of 1H-NMR data, can be characterized for the two chelating ligands C … N and C′ … N′ by C,C′-cis; N,N′-cis and C(chelate), Cl-trans.

    Notes: The synthesis of the five-membered cyclic phosphorodiamidic-acid derivatives 10 and 11 as well as the preparation of the six-membered cyclic phosphates 18, 19, 22-25, and phosphoramidates 27-32 is described. The effects of these conformationally restricted platelet-activating factor analogs on rabbit platelet aggregation are briefly discussed. The 2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinanes 19, 25, and 30 were found to be equally potent platelet-activating factor antagonists as the known thiazolium salt 33.

    Notes: [2 + 2] Cycloaddition of (menthyloxy)methylketene (2) to cis-ethyl propenyl ether showed a ca. 3:1 diastereo-selectivity. A two-step transformation of the thermodynamically more stable adduct 4 furnished the (2R*, 3R*)-compound 5 with ca. 50% e.e. (Scheme 1). The analogous reaction sequence with cis- benzyl 1-hexenyl ether (9) and 2 showed a ca. 5:1 diastereoselectivity in 10 and 11 (Scheme 2). Absolute configuration of C(3) and C(4) in 11 has been proved by converting it to (-)-blastmycinone. Accordingly, the preferred transition state has been deduced as 15.

    Notes: Combined NOE and Decoupling Experiments for the Selective H-NMR Detection: Application to a Stereochemical ProblemThe successful solution of complex stereochemical problems by NMR methods often requires scalar (J) and dipolar (NOE) data. A modern method, improved with respect to sensitivity and selectivity, which yields both scalar and dipolar informations is proposed, and an application to configurational analysis is demonstrated. The method is based on NOE effects for the detection of selected protons and homonuclear decoupling for improved resolution.

    Notes: The two tetraazamacrocycle-N,N′,N″,N‴-tetraacetic acids H4dota and H4teta form with Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ (M2+) mononuclear complexes MLH2 and M′[ML], M′ being an alkaline earth ion. The structures of Ni(H2dota) and Cu(H2dota) have been solved by X-ray structure analysis. The metal ions are in a distorted octahedral geometry coordinated by four amino N-atoms and two carboxylates. In the case of Cu2+, the distortions are more pronounced than for Ni2+ indicating that the Jahn-Teller effect is operating. Starting from these two structures, the coordination geometry of the other complexes is discussed using VIS and IR spectra.

    Notes: Mono-N-substituted azamacrocycles 2-7, containing a carboxyalkyl or carboxyaryl side-chain, are obtained by reacting a five-fold excess of the macrocycle with 1 equiv. of a suitable halogenocarboxylic acid in alkaline aqueous EtOH. For halogenocarboxylic acids, which easily lactonize under alkaline conditions, a variant with the corresponding ester or nitrile as alkylating agent is also described. The salient point of this synthesis lies in the use of an excess of the macrocycle over the alkylating agent, thus reducing the amount of polyalkylation to a minimum, and in the easy separation of the excess of unreacted educt from the aminocarboxylic acid. These new ligands form Ni2+ and Cu2+ complexes, the spectral properties of which have been studied. In the case of the Cu2+ complexes with ligand 2, 3, and 6, a pH-dependent color change is observed. This is explained with an equilibrium between a species, in which the carboxylate group is bound to the metal, and one, in which it is protonated and non-coordinated. In the case of the Ni2+ complexes with the same ligands, only the species with a coordinated carboxylate was observed. In the Cu2+ and Ni2+ complexes with ligands 4 and 5, however, the carboxylate group does not coordinate at all, because of the length or the special structure of the chain.

    Notes: Substituent Transformations on TriaziridinesSeveral novel triaziridines were prepared by substituent transformations starting from the known dialkyl-triaziridine-carboxylates 1a-c, with the aim to study the influence of the substitution pattern on the properties of the triaziridine ring. The dialkyl-triaziridines 2a-c were obtained by (t-BuO-)-mediated demethylation and decarboxylation and the dialkyl-triaziridine-methanols 4a-c by LiAlH4 reduction. Further reduction of the tosylates of 4a, b with LiAlH4 gave the methyl-dialkyl-triaziridines 3a, b. The dialkyl-triaziridines 2a, c could not be N-methylated directly with CH3I, but the anions 10a, c, obtained from 2a, c with CH3Li, yielded 3a, c. N-Methylation of 2a with (CH3)3OBF4 did not afford 3a but rather the methyl-triaziridinium salt 11. The dialkyl-triaziridine 2c has pKa 〉 14, its protonated species 〈 2. A concept that the electron pairs on the triaziridine N-atoms are more strongly localized than on amine N-atoms explains (a) that the dialkyl-triaziridine 2c is hardly basic, (b) that the LiAlH4 reductions of the esters 1 stop at the stage of the methanols 4, and (c) that the methanols 4a, b do not cleave like aminomethanols.

    Notes: The solvolysis rates and products of 4- and 5-exo-substituted 2-exo- and 2-endo-norbornyl tosylates 9 and 10, respectively, are reported. The logarithms of the rate constants (log k) correlate linearly with the inductive constants σIq for the substituents. A comparison of the reaction constants p1 for the 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-substituted 2-exo- and 2-endo-tosylates 9, 10, 1, and 2 respectively, indicates that inductivity is higher for 2-exo-ionization than for 2-endo-ionization in all series. This observation is attributed to the more favorable alignment of neighbouring C-atoms for dorsal participation in exo-ionization, especially, in the case of C(6).
