    Notes: The increasing requirements in wastewater treatment have led to the development of new wastewater treatment processes based on the know-how and experience in reaction and process engineering of the chemical industry. Due to their compactness, closed operation and high flexibility, these new processes show a large potential for process integration and significant cost reduction in particular for highly polluted industrial wastewaters.This paper discusses the HCR (high-performance compact reactor) - process, developed at the Mass Transfer Laboratory of the Technical University of Clausthal within the last decade. This process has been realized in more than 30 technical applications with a volume loading of up to 70 kg COD/m3 d and an energy consumption of about 0.4 kWh per kg CODelim.

    Notes: Nitrogen fixing Anabaena azollae strains isolated from four different Azolla cultures were characterized based on their total protein profile and RAPD profile to study the existing variation among them. As expected, the isolates showed almost similar protein banding patterns, but exhibited differences in 40-70 KDa protein subunits. Polymerase chain reaction of the DNA of the isolates, using four different primers, amplified specific sequences of DNA and showed clear polymorphism among the isolates. The RAPD profile generated the fingerprinting pattern characteristic of each strain based on the sequence of the primers used. Common band sharing observed between the strains A. azollae-RS-KK-SK-AM and A. azollae-RS-KK-SK-RP probably represents maternal inheritance of DNA to the progeny. The polymorphic bands were generated specifically for the isolates A. azollae-RS-KK-SK-RP and A. azollae-RS-KK-SK-AM with primers numbered 2 and 4, respectively, which could be developed as possible markers for these isolates.

    Notes: Mature seed-derived callus from an elite Chinese japonica rice cv. Eyl 105 was transformed with a plasmid containing the selectable marker hygromycin phosphotransferase (hpt) and the reporter β-glucuronidase (gusA) genes via particle bombardment. After two rounds of selection on hygromycin (30 mg/l)-containing medium, resistant callus was transferred to hygromycin (30 mg/l)-containing regeneration medium for plant regeneration. Twenty-three independent transgenic rice plants were regenerated from 127 bombarded callus with a transformation frequency of 18.1%. All the transgenic plants contained both gusA and hpt genes, revealed by PCR/Southern blot analysis. GUS assay revealed 18 out of 23 plants (78.3%) proliferated on hygromycin-containing medium had GUS expression at various levels. Genetic analysis confirmed Mendelian segregation of transgenes in progeny. From R2 generations with their R1 parent plants showing 3:1 Mendelian segregation, we identified three independent homozygous transgenic rice lines. The homozygous lines were phenotypically normal and fertile compared to the control plants. We demonstrate that homozygous transgenic rice lines can be obtained via particle bombardment-mediated transformation and through genetic analysis-based selection.

    Notes: The GRAM-positive bacterium Rhodococcus erythropolis K2-3 and the GRAM-negative Ochrobactrum anthropi K2-14 are capable of synergistically degrading 4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)butyric acid (2,4-DB). The two strais execute this task in a symbiotic manner, but the nature of the interaction involved in the degradation is only partially understood as yet. An essential first step in elucidating the interaction is to be able to monitor the two strans separately, at the cellular level, within mixed populations. Therefore a method exploiting fluorescently labelled lectin probes was developed. Since Concanavalin A (Con A) binds specifically to R. erythropolis K2-3, it was selected and linked to the fluoresent dye Bodipy 630/650, which has an excitation maximum in the red part of the visible light spectrum. Forward light scatter (FSC) and DNA fluorescence from both strains were also measured to obtain simultaneous information about their physiological states. The three parameters were conveniently monitored by dual and triple excitation flow cytometry in conjunction with double fluorescent staining techniques. In addition, the strains were identified using an epifluorescence microscope. These techniques were found powerful tools for the population analysis of this mixed bacterial system.

    Notes: A quite unconventional, innovative scientific methodology called “macroscopic pattern analysis” is presented in this paper. This approach is more adequate in the case of complex systems than the well-known microscopic, mechanistic approach. Complex systems are not only attracting more engineering interest, but their scientific treatment is increasingly wanted by society due to the manifold problems in Earth's ecosphere. The macroscopic pattern approach will be explained in depth and illustrated in some case studies from the ecosphere (sustainability, hurricanes and avalanches), where nature serves as a teacher for the solution of the sustainability problem. Then, a series of case studies on macropatterns are described showing the problem-solving capacity for anthropo- and technosphere: sustainability in society with an index of sustainability, the eco-social market economy with eco-tech as an instrument, biokinetics, bioreactor mixing and integrated bioprocessing with models, design of cars and houses and even quality of life as an attempt to quantify macropatterns.The innovations are briefly compared in their problem-solving capacity with known approaches such as the microscopic method in science, technology and society (free market economy), including the evaluation of other indices and cleaner production, industrial ecology and zero emission initiative. Finally, a deeper integration of sciences, ethics, arts and nature will be introduced based on the vision with macroscopic pattern analysis, where the different domains of human life are integratable to effect a reconciliation.

    Notes: The dynamic behaviour of biofilters intended to remove toluene and xylene from air was studied during transient states. Laboratory scale biofilters were filled with a mixture of peat, bark and wood and inoculated with a mixed microbial population. Toluene and xylene were applied both as single pollutants and as mixtures. Attention was focused on the evaluation of the following transients: the response of biofilters to step changes and peaks in pollutant concentrations, the effect of changes between single and multiple pollutant loadings and the response to shutdown periods.The biofilters demonstrated a good dynamic stability during transient states induced by change in inlet pollutant concentrations. Their time periods did not exceed three hours. No interaction between xylene and toluene degradation was observed during changes in loading with single pollutants or their mixture. The performance interruptions lasting less than 24 hours were found to have no significant influence on the removal efficiency of biofilters. When the biofilters were reacclimated after longer starvation periods, a short temporary decrease in efficiency whose minimum and duration were proportional to the length of a preceding shutdown period was observed. The longest starvation period (7 days) resulted in a reacclimation lasting 7 hours only. Adaptations of a microbial population to new operating conditions as well as sorption/desorption processes were suggested as the main factors influencing the dynamic reponse characteristics.

    Notes: In this paper, the in vivo decolourization of the polymeric dye Poly R-478 by semi-solid-state cultures of Phanerochaete chrysosporium BKM-F-1767 (ATCC 24725) was investigated, employing corncob as a support. In order to stimulate the ligninolytic system of the fungus, the cultures were supplemented with veratryl alcohol (2 mM) or manganese (IV) oxide (1 g/l).Maximum manganese-dependent peroxidase (MnP) and lignin peroxidase (LiP) activities of around 2,000 U/l and 400 U/l were attained by the former, whereas the activities reached by the latter were of about 1,500 U/l and 200 U/l, respectively. Furthermore, laccase activity (around 150 U/l) was only detected in manganese (IV) oxide supplemented cultures.The polymeric dye Poly R-478 (0.02 w/v) was added to three-day-old cultures. A percentage of biological decolourization of about 85% was achieved using cultures supplemented with veratryl alcohol, whereas MnO2 cultures showed a rather lower percentage of around 58% after nine days of dye incubation. Moreover, a correlation between MnP activity and Poly R-478 decolourization could be observed, indicating that this enzyme is mainly responsible for dye degradation.In the present work, the in vivo decolourizing capability of the ligninolytic complex secreted by P. chrysosporium was investigated under the above-mentioned cultivation conditions, employing a model compound, such as the polymeric dye Poly R-478.

    Notes: Desulfovibrio vulgaris strain PY1 was isolated from a 3-chlorobenzoic acid (3CBA) degrading anaerobic enrichment culture, using anaerobic Percoll density centrifugation. When grown on pyruvate (20 mM), in the absence of sulphate and under strict anaerobic conditions, this organism converted not only the co-substrates benzoate (BA), 3-amino-BA and 3CBA to the corresponding alcohols but also ten other different halogenated benzoic acids, viz., 4-Cl-, 3-Br-, 4-Br-, 3-I-, 3-F-, 4-F-, 2,4-di-Cl-, 2,5-di-Cl-, 3,4-di-Cl- and 3,5-di-Cl-BA. This was verfied with HPLC and GC/MS spectrometric analyses. The yields of the co-substrate converted after 30 days of growth were between 20% and 88%, depending on the compounds which had been added at initial concentrations of 500 μM. Sulphate, sulphite, thiosulphate and disulphite inhibited the formation of 3-Cl-benzyl alcohol (3CBOH), i.e. a 97 to 99% inhibition, and nitrate and sulphur had no effect (a 7-10% inhibition). In cell-free extracts, the reduction of 3CBA to 3CBOH required strict anaerobic conditions, pyruvate or H2 as electron donors and the addition of methylviologen (MV), FAD, FMN or ferredoxin as electron carriers. The specific activity of the reduction of 3CBA to 3CBOH in crude extract was 5.3 nmol/(mg protein min). The reaction was not inhibited by additions of sulphate or sulphite (5 mM), but was completely inhibited at concentrations of 10 mM 3CBA or 50 mM BA. A carboxylic acid reductase (aldehyde dehydrogenase), which acted on non-activated 3CBA and was responsible for the reduction of 3CBA to 3-Cl-benzaldehyde, was found in the solube fraction (94% of the total activity). These results demonstrate that strain PY1 was able to effectively reduce a wide range of halogenated benzoic acids to the corresponding alcohols.

    Notes: The recent upsurge in information technology has provided the international community with an easy access to professional journals (e.g. Electronic Journal of Biotechnology at http://www.ejb.org; etc.), discussion groups (e.g. bioenergy@cret.org; digestion@crest.org; etc.) and recently to electronic international conferences (e.g. ICIBS; http://www.cid.harvard.edu/cidbiotech, etc.) as well as a series of biotechnological information material (e.g. http://www.psrast.org, etc.) to stay in contact and receive up-to-date information in biotechnology. There is no doubt that this new technology will be more cost effective in future and reach more people in communities around the globe.This review reports on one such an electronic conference aiming at bridging the communication gap between developed and developing countries. This conference dealt with integrated biosystems and has provided an excellent forum for more than 100 active participants from all regions of the world. As has been demonstrated in this review, the conference was able to show the very different approaches towards the use of biotechnology in developed and developing countries, cold and tropical climate regions owing to their different ecological, economical and societal problems. It also demonstrated very clearly that the field of molecular genetics and/or genetic engineering is not a priority issue in developing countries, but rather the need for clean technologies, multiproduct formation through socio-economic integrated biosystems, e.g. incorporating microbial waste management into agro-industries, in human activities and their roles in creating better health conditions, a better environment and sustain development.It is hoped that this review will lead to a greater use of the electronic facilities available to inform and educate both the northern and the southern communities more readily of their needs and requirements to improve understanding and efforts for a sustainable future.

    Notes: A fermentation process for manufacturing 1,4-piperazinium-(L,L)-dilactate from renewable raw materials and a method for processing this product into L,L-dilactide are described. Lactic acid fermentation with Lactobacillus paracasei was modified in such a way that pH control occurred by using an aqueous solution of piperazine as a correcting agent instead of sodium hydroxide solution. The production of a stoichiometrically composed piperazinium lactate was possible when the pH was 5.0. From 5.0 kg of glucose and 2.15 kg of piperazine, 6.65 kg of 1,4-piperazinium-(L,L)-dilactate were formed in the fermentation process. Separation from fermentation broth, purification and concentration of the product in aqueous solutions were carried out by means of ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and electrodialysis. Total product retention by the membranes used was about 33%. The crystalline salt was obtained by vacuum evaporation. Processing of the 1,4-piperazinium-(L,L)-dilactate into L,L-dilactide was performed in a special glass reactor. A product yield of 70% was achieved. The purified product was characterized by elementary analysis, as well as solubility behaviour, polarity and spectroscopic data. An overall process consisting of the stages fermentation, purification and concentration of piperazinium dilactate as well as cyclization of the latter to dilactide is described.

    Notes: Five different chemical reagents and γ-rays were tested for the sanitization of immobilized biocatalysts with high penicillin G acylase (PGA) activity. The most effective chemical reagents were N-cetyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and 2-isopropyl-5-methylphenol (thymol). The optimum concentration of CTAB for the treatment of the immobilized enzyme was 0.25% [w/v] and 1 h, for immobilized cells 0. [w/v] and 3 h. The optimum concentration of thymol for the immobilized enzyme was found to be 0.1% [w/v] and 1 h, for immobilized cells 0.27% [w/v] and 2 h. The optimum dose of γ-rays for the sanitization of the immobilized enzyme was established as 3.2 kGy, for immobilized cells as 4.5 kGy.

    Notes: An advanced primary treatment process for a municipal waste water was systematically studied, using a bio-flocculation-adsorption, sedimentation and stabilzation process (BSS). It was shown that the organic removal efficiency was higher than that of the traditional primary treatment processes but lower than that of the traditional secondary treatment processes. Both adsorption and bio-flocculation played an important role in the removal of pollutants. The activated sludge within the bio-flocculation-adsorption tank could be considered a bio-flocculent which improved the quality of the effluent from the primary treatment process. As the effluent of the BSS process did not meet the requirements for a typical secondary effluent, the process may be regarded as an advanced (or enhanced) primary treatment process, suitable for waste water containing a high concentration of suspended solids and colloidal particles.

    Notes: The concentration of airborne fungal spores and bacteria as related to room temperature, humidity and occupancy levels within a library building in Singapore was determined. Measurement of indoor air quality with respect to microorganisms is of particular importance in tropical environments due to the extensive use of air-conditioning systems and the potential implications for human health. This study has revealed a number of interesting relationships between the concentrations of fungal spores and bacteria in relation to both environmental and human factors. The levels of fungal spores measured in the indoor environment were approximately fifty times lower than those measured outside, probably because of the lowered humidity caused by air-conditioning in the indoor environment. The variation in fungal spore concentration in the outdoor environment is likely to be due to the diurnal periodicity of spore release and the response to environmental factors such as light temperature and humidity. The indoor concentration of fungal spores in air was not clearly correlated to concentrations measured in air outside of the library building and remained relatively constant, unaffected by the difference in the numbers of occupants in the library. In contrast, the indoor concentrations of bacteria in air were approximately ten times higher than those measured outdoors, indicating a signficant internal source of bacteria. The elevated levels of indoor bacteria were primarily attributed to the number of library occupants. Increased human shedding of skin cells, ejection of microorganisms and particulates from the respiratory tract, and the transport of bacteria on suspended dust particles from floor surfaces probably accounts for the strong positive correlation between occupancy levels and the concentration of bacteria in internal air.

    Notes: Preliminary results on the novel use of the bacterium Thiobacillus ferrooxidans (ATCCJ 3598 and ATCC33020) for the micro-machining (or biomachinig) of metals are reported. Biomachning is a controlled microbiological process to selectively form microstrucutures on a metal work-piece by metal removal (or dissolution) using microorganisms. Applying copper and mild steel as work-pieces, it was shown that the mass removed increased proportionately with machining time. In another experiment, the work-pieces were coated with organic photo-resistive materials to mask (i.e. protect) certain regions of the metlas, thereby defining the microstructure to be formed. The unmasked regions were successfully biomachined; the final machined profile was shown to be similar to the coating image on the original metal. Although biomachining proceeded at a slower rate than chemical machining, the undesired leaching of the metal in the region under the masked area (termed undercutting) was not as severely encountered when compared with the latter. This work demonstrates the potential use of microorganisms for the biomachining of metals. As a “green process”, the innovative use of T. ferrooxidans for the micro-machining of metals opens up the possibility of biomachining as an alternative to conventional metal processing.

    Notes: During the microbial treatment of a sandy model soil artificially contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a large residual pollution was found. The remainig PAHs were sorbed into the micropores of the soil and were therefore not bioavailable. Using a lab-scale precolator, the microbially pretreated soil was subjected to aftertreatment with surfactants with the aim of further degradation of its pollution. Two commercial nonionic surfatants of the polyethoxylate type, Präwozell F1214/5 N and Sapogenat T-300, were used. The surfactants differ both in their physicochemical properties (CMC value, PAH solubilization capacity, adsorption onto soil) and in their microbial degradability. During aftertreatment under permanently aerobic conditions, only a weak PAH accumulation in the liquid phase was observed, which was due to a low solubilization rate as well as to simultaneous microbial degradation of the dissolved PAHs. Temporary anaerobiosis successfully suppressed the microbial degradation of both the surfactant and the solubilized PAHs, resulting in a more intensive PAH accumulation. But the PAH content of the soil - the essential criterion for evaluating the efficiency of surfactant application - was not decreased to a larger extent with surfactants than without them. To find out why the surfactants failed to act, the surfactant and hydrocarbon distribution among the liquid and solid phases was studied in mixtures of phenantherne-spiked solis and Präwozell-containig liquids; at heavy phenanthrene loading, the aqueous phase was saturated with PAH; at weak loading, it was unsaturated. Model-aided data analysis showed that the soil may contain PAH in two fractions: strongly sorbed into soil pores and, in the case of heavy loading, also weakly attached to the soil surface. The latter is easily extractable, resulting in a PAH-saturated liquid, while strongly adsorbed PAH is only partially dissolved due to competition between the micelles and the soil pores for the PAH. The microbially pretreated soil contains only strongly bound PAHs, which are as difficult to extract by surfactants as they are poorly accessible for microbes.

    Notes: Autochthonous bacteriocenoses in semiarid soils in Patagonia were found to be capable of rapidly adapting to high contamination with crude oil. This adaptation at community level is due to the selective enrichment of hydrocarbon-utilizing bacteria always present in these soils. Immediately after a heavy contamination with crude oil, the authochthonous bacteriocenosis contained about 28% hydrocarbon-utilizing bacteria which could be classified into eight ecotypes with characteristic metabolic profiles. Mainly n-alkanes were used as growth substrates of representative strains. After seven months' exposure to crude oil, the bacteriocenosis consisted almost entirely of hydrocarbon-utilizing bacteria. At least fourteen ecotypes were distinguishable, and the majority of representative strains were able to metabolize a broad spectrum of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. Corresponding to the significant alteration of the physiological diversity, drastic changes to the taxonomic diversity were also found. Whereas at the beginning of the study the autochthonous bacteriocenoses were dominated by GRAM-positive genera of the Actinomycetales (Dietzia, Gordona, Nocardia, Rhodococcus, Streptomyces) with high ecological potency, after just two months' exposure to crude oil, GRAM- negative bacteria (especially Pseudomonas stutzeri) became predominant within the hydrocarbon-utilizing bacteriocenoses accompanied by some GRAM-positive genera of the Actinomycetales with a significantly lower abundance. These findings underline the importance of Pseudomonas and some genera of Actinomycetales for processes of natural attenuation and the technically supported in situ bioremediation of soil polluted by crude oil in Patagonia.

    Notes: Some parameters of the production of an alkaline protease by Rhizopus oryzae in the solid state fermentation of wheat bran were optimized. Using the optimum parameters of an inoculum age of 7 days, an incubation time of 9 days, an amount of CZAPEK-DOX (liquid medium) of 6 ml/g bran and an incubation temperature of 33°C, an activity of 50 U/g bran was achieved. The initial pH of the CZAPEK-DOX medium had little effect. Re-incubation of mouldy bran with only fresh CZAPEK-DOX yielded 3 times total activity compared to single-cycle fermentation. As for the effect of the amount CZAPEK-DOX medium, the water constituent contributed more to activity increase than did the salt component. The ARRHENIUS activation energies were 23 and 7.9 kcal/mole below and above the optimum of 33°C, respectively. In all the studies, along with protease production, variation of protein content and specific activity were also observed. Attempts were made to explain the effects and also gauge their implications for large-scale production.

    Notes: Because of the growing utilization of renewable raw materials, the technical use of lignocellulosic fibres from wood and other annual plant materials is becoming increasingly important. The conventional production process of fibreboards is characterized by high-energy consumption and use of ecologically insecure synthetic lesins. Approximately 40 to 45% of the total energy expenditure are used for the thermo-mechanical pulping. Because of high plastication temperatures, an inactive lignin crust on the fibre surface is formed. For that reason, for glueing of the fibres, urea formaldehyde and melamin resins are usually used. The costs for the resin amount to approximately 50% of the entire material costs. In addition, environmental problems are caused. The aim of our investigation is the reduction of energy and resin consumption by enzymatic modification of wood chips and the enzymatic activation of the inherent bonding strength of the material. The first industrial use of fungi for the modification of wood was in the production of “Myco wood”. Pleurothus ostreatus and Trametes versicolor were applied for nonsterile delignification of beech wood. The present investigation of the authors deals with the mycological pre-treatment of wood chips in order to reduce the energy consumption during wood pulping. The screening results favour the brown rotter Gleophyllum trabeum for pinewood (Pinus silvestris) and the white rotter Trametes hirsuta for beech (Fagus silvatica). Both species show resistance against mould fungi. The use of submerged inoculum of these fungi has the advantage over wheat inoculum that the lag phase is less than 12 hours and that the addition of nutrients or fungicides is not necessary. Short-time wood chip incubation results in a 40% decrease of energy consumption during thermo-mechanical pulping and in improved fibreboard properties. Lignin reduction could not be determined by gravimetrical and x-ray microanalysis.Comparative investigations of fibre incubation using laccase, a submerged culture of Trametes versicolor and rape straw fibres show a high increase in bending and tensile strength and an improvement in the hygroscopic properties of glue-free fibre boards for the last two incubation kinds. Similar effects have been obtained incubating pine wood fibres for the production of fibre sheets with enzyme medium of Trichoderma reseei.

    Notes: During the 20th century, important relationships developed between the oil industry and both microbiological and biotechnological research. Basic microbiological research has played an important role in both the exploration and production sectors of the oil industry, but as the maturity of the industry has progressed, such contributions have been relegated with respect to their importance. With respect to refining and petrochemicals manufacture, process routes have been extensively researched, but only rarely have the biotechnological solutions developed satisfied the economic criteria that resulted in major investment. In fact, situations exist where investment has occurred, but project life was unrealistically short, suggesting a need for extreme caution when evaluating biotechnological processes for the oil industry. However, as far as engineered processes for both biotreatment and bioremediation are concerned, the fundamental research that has underpinned other areas of hydrocarbon microbiology will finally prove to be of both technical and economic value, in ensuring that the essential needs of treatment, rather than disposal, and restoration, rather than environmental destruction, can be satisfied by the oil and other industries involved in both geochemical manipulation and natural resource exploitation.

    Notes: The influence of different growth-limiting factors - namely the sources of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus and the dilution (growth) rate - on the ice-nucleation activity of Pseudomonas syringe CCM 4073 was studied. A higher ice-nucleation activity was observed at a lower dilution (growth) rate (D = 0.1 h-1) than at a higher dilution (growth) rate (D = 0.3 h-1). Remarkable differences in ice-nucleation activity were found in its dependence on the growth-limiting factor. The highest ice-nucleation activity was observed under carbon limitation (T90 = -2.7°C), a medium activity under nitrogen limitation (T90 = -5°C) and lowest activity under phosphorus limitation (T90 = -12.3°C). After the addition of excess nitrogen or phosphorus to steady-state cultures, the ice-nucleation activity was restored.

    Notes: Studies were carried out to evaluate the feasibility of using coffee industry residues, viz. coffee husk, coffee leaves and spent coffee ground as substrates in solid state fermentation (SSF) to cultivate edible mushrooms Pleurotus. Eight strains of Pleurotus ostreatus and two strains of Pleurotus sajor-caju were screened on a medium prepared from aqueous extract of coffee husk and agar. Based on best mycelial growth (9.68 mm/day) and biomass production (43.4 mg/plate in 9 days at 24°C), the strain P. ostreatus LPB 09 was selected for detailed studies. SSF was carried out using these substrates under different moisture conditions (45-75%) and spawn rates (2.5-25%). In general, although a 25% spawn rate appeared superior, the 10% spawn rate was recommended for all the three substrates in view of the process economics, as there was not any significant difference in the increase with 10 to 15%. The ideal moisture content for mycelial growth was 60-65% for coffee husk and spent coffee ground, and 60-70% for coffee leaves. The biological efficiency (BE), which is defined as the ratio of the weight of fresh fruiting bodies to the weight of dry substrate, multiplied by 100, and which indicates the fructification ability of the fungus for utilizing the substrate, was best with coffee husk. With coffee husk as the substrate, the first fructification occurred after 20 days of inoculation, and the biological efficiency reached about 97% after 60 days. When coffee leaves were used as the substrate, no fructification was observed even upon prolonged cultivation. With spent ground as the substrate, the first fructification occurred 23 days after inoculation and the biological efficiency reached about 90% in 50 days. There was a significant decrease in the caffeine and tannin contents (61 and 79%, respectively) of coffee husk after 60 days. It was remarkable to observe that caffeine was adsorbed onto the fruiting body (0.157%), indicating that it was not completely degraded by the fungal culture. However, no tannins were found in the fruiting body, indicating that the fungal strain was capable of degrading them. The results showed the feasibility of using coffee husk and spent coffee ground as substrates without any pre-treatment for the cultivation of edible fungi in SSF, and provided one of the first steps towards an economical utilization of these otherwise unutilized or poorly utilized residues.

    Notes: Serratia marcescens biovar A2/A6 is able to produce a red pigment as a secondary metabolite which has antimicrobial activity. This paper describes its growth and biopigment formation in batch cultures, in media containing different concentrations of lactic acid and beef extract as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively. An unstructured model has also been developed to describe its growth, lactic acid uptake and biopigment formation. The comparison of simulated and experimental data shows that the proposed model predicts reasonably well the system behaviour over a range of conditions.

    Notes: The impact of hydrocarbon remediation on several enzyme activities (catalase, dehydrogenase, lipase, protease, urease, alkaline phosphomonoesterase, fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis) and microbial properties (biomass-C, respiration, N-mineralization, qCO2, microbial counts) was evaluated in a laboratory study over a period of 10 weeks. A pristine soil was contaminated with diesel oil (10 mg/g soil) or with a mixture of phenanthrene and naphthalene (total amount 1 mg/g soil) and supplemented with inorganic nutrients to give a C:N ratio of 20:1. The corresponding controls consisted of uncontaminated nutrient-supplemented soil. Oil contamination caused a significant initial increase of all biological parameters measured. In the presence of PAHs, biomass-C, respiration, protease activity and heterotrophic counts were significantly enhanced, while urease activity was depressed. N-mineralization was initially, however, reversibly inhibited in the presence of oil and PAHs.The measured parameters behaved differently over time: Biomass-C, respiration and alkaline phosphomonoesterase activity reached a maximum activity after about 2-5 weeks, corresponding to the period during which the majority of hydrocarbons disappeared, and declined thereafter to the background level. Activities of catalase and dehydrogenase also followed this pattern, however, were characterized by fluctuations. Activities of lipase, protease, urease and fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis increased and remained almost constant throughout the incubation period.

    Notes: The action resonance theory (ART), a hypothesis based on a logical extension of EINSTEIN's theory of Brownian movement, suggests that the genotype × environment interaction can be modelled as forceful encounters of the gene-products of an organism with its environment. This model has implications for molecular and cell biology, morphogenesis, evolutionary development via mutation, the mechanism of natural selection and overall function of ecosystems, extending SCHRÖDINGER's programme for molecular biology. Action, a thermodynamic property with the same physical dimensions as angular momentum and PLANCK's quantum of action, is proposed to be reversibly generated as a result of the molecular exchange of quanta, which become resonant at equilibrium, corresponding to an optimum degree of entropy and action for living systems. Because the theory can potentially predict solutions to unsolved problems such as the folding of proteins it has strong implications for successful genetic modification of organisms and for biotechnology in general; the design of a programme of research to test this theory is proposed. A key element in this research programme, improving productivity and sustainability, would be the need to select genetically modified strains in the ecological environment or niche in which they are required to function.

    Notes: Continuous counter-current chromatographic processes have been successfully used in the petrochemical and sugar industry over the last 30 years. Only recently has simulated moving bed (SMB)-technology attracted widespread interest in the pharmaceutical industry, mainly as a very efficient system for chromatographic enantioseparation. The application of this technique to the downstream processing of biotechnological products requires some specific changes to meet the special demands of bioproduct isolation. Production processes are set up on an multi-ton scale, for example, for the purification of fructose with both yield and purity higher than 90%. Examples for other mono- and oligosaccharides are reported. In the purification of fatty acids or fat soluble vitamins, SMB technology under supercritical fluid conditions gives additional benefits and increases the productivity by a factor of four when a pressure gradient is applied. Another field of operation is the isolation of drug compounds from natural sources where different batch- and SMB-chromatographic steps could be successfully combined. First examples are reported for cyclosporine A and paclitaxel isolation. Finally, step-gradient elution modes can be used continuously, as demonstrated for the isolation of monoclonal antibodies.

    Notes: β-Nitrostyrene derivatives of adenosine 5′-glutarates are potent and selective bisubstrate-type inhibitors of the epidermal growth factor receptor protein tyrosine kinase (EGF-R PTK). In an attempt to improve the inhibitory activity, this type of compounds was modified with alkyl spacers of varying length between the nitrostyrene and the glutaryl units. The spacers consisted of 1, 3, 4, and 5 atoms to give compounds of the benzyl, oxyethyl, oxypropyl, and oxybutyl series, respectively (Schemes 1 and 2). Adenosine 5′-esters were prepared in the benzyl and oxypropyl series only. Compared to the compounds in the parent series without spacer (IC50 = 0.7-12 μM), most of the modified compounds inhibited the EGF-R PTK only marginally or were inactive (IC50 ≥ 100 μM). The only exceptions were the free acids 19 and 20 with IC50 values of ca. 5 μM. It is noteworthy that esterification of these two hydrogen glutarates with either MeOH or adenosine yielded inactive compounds, which is in contrast to the corresponding substances without spacers.

    Notes: The conversion of the conformation of cyclosporin A (CsA) observed in CHCl3 to the receptor-bound state is investigated by two molecular-mechanics methods, template forcing and dynamic forcing. The conformations of CsA in CHCl3 and complexed with LiCl in THF as determined by NMR are used as starting structures. The transition starting from the CsA/CHCl3-derived conformation is hindered by steric interactions of two side chains (MeBmt1 and Val5). While starting with the CsA/LiCl-derived conformation, the conversion is facile. It is illustrated that these calculations, which are of artificial character, using only the starting and final structures of the observed conformational transition during the receptor-binding event, allow an insight into the interactions between the substrates and receptor in terms of an induced fit.

    Notes: The transfer properties of the ionic species involved in the Williamson ether synthesis by phase-transfer catalysis were investigated using electrochemical techniques developed for the study of polarised liquid/liquid interfaces. This approach allows the measurement of the apparent partition coefficients of the transferring species. From these data, it is proposed that the role of the phase-transfer catalyst salt in the reaction mechanism is to establish a Galvani distribution potential difference between the two phases which in turn acts as the driving force for transferring the reactive aqueous ions to the organic phase.

The enthalpies of interaction measured are in the range of ΔH = -8 to -37 kcal/mol. A similar experiment was carried out with one of the binding proteins of cyclosporin, the human cyclophilin A, to give the thermodynamic parameters for the complexation ΔH = -16, ΔG° = -10 kcal/mol, and ΔS° = -20 cal/mol·deg. at 25° which corresponds to an equilibrium constant K = 2·107 l/mol, in good agreement with the result of independent measurements using different methods. NMR Measurements of the macrolides in (D8)THF containing LiCl show strong down-field shifts of signals of the H-atoms next to C=O and C-OH groups in these molecules.

    Notes: The 17O-NMR signals of four true C-nitroso compounds 1-4 appear at particularly low field (1550-1265 ppm), whereas the dimers (azodioxy type) resonate at ca. 400 ppm and the ‘isonitroso compounds’ ( = quinone-oximes; 5 and 6) at ca. 250 ppm. S-Nitroso compounds ( = thionitrites; 8 and 9) show shift values of ca. 1300 ppm, not far from C - NO; the NO+ ion is much stronger shielded (474 ppm). The results, together with those for higher-shielded nitroso compounds X - NO (X = RO, R2N, Cl, O-) are discussed in terms of (a) resonance stabilization through n-donation from X(π-bond order, approximated by the known barriers of rotation around the X - N bond) and of (b) electronic excitation energies ΔE. The latter are approximated by long-wave (symmetry-forbidden) UV/VIS absorptions and confirmed, where available, by the maxima of the curves of circular dichroism (CD); the CD curve of thionitrite 9 has been measured. It is found that the δ(17O) values of X - NO depend both on bond order and on ΔE, which could not be separated. The higher shielding of NO+ compared with X - N=O is explained on the basis of anisotropy effects, which differ between sp and sp2 systems.

    Notes: 2′-5′ Adenylate trimers 41-44 carrying the (tert-butyl)dimethylsilyl (tbds) group at the 3′-OH position of various sugar moieties were synthesized via the phosphoramidite method. The use of the (tert-butyloxy)carbonyl (boc) and 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethylsulfonyl (npes) groups for 2′-OH protection in neighbourhood to the 3′-O-tbds residue was compared during the synthesis of the target trimers. For other functional positions, the use of the 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl (npe) and 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethoxycarbonyl (npeoc) blocking groups were favoured.

    Notes: A new and generally applicable synthetic path for the preparation of heteroditopic bis-macrocycles using tri-N-protected tetraazacycloalkanes as building blocks and bromoacetyl bromide as bridging reagent is described. In the first step, bromoacetyl bromide is used as acylating agent for one of the macrocycles, whereas in the second step it is used as alkylating agent for the second macrocycle, thus giving protected bis-macrocyclic amides (e.g. 6). After reduction of the amide moiety and deprotection, bis-azamacrocycles with an ethylene bridge are obtained (e.g. 8). The corresponding homoditopic bis-macrocycles 16 and 17 are also prepared for comparison purpose. Spectrophotometric studies indicate that bis-macrocycle 8, which consists of a 12- and a 14-membered ring, binds two metal ions with equal affinity, whereas compound 13, in which an unsubstituted (cyclam) and a trimethyl-substituted tetraazacyclotetradecane unit (Me3cyclam) are bridged, shows selective metal-ion binding. The first metal ion is always incorporated into the cyclam unit, whereas the second one binds to the Me3cyclam macrocycle. Thus, by sequential addition of two different metal ions, heterobinuclear complexes can easily be prepared. The electrochemistry of the binuclear Ni2+ complexes, studied by CV and DPV, as well as the EPR spectra of the binuclear Cu2+ complexes clearly indicate metal-metal interactions.

    Notes: Flash-vacuum thermolysis of the four diastereoisomeric 5,6-epoxy-5,6-dihydro-caryophyllenes 1-4 at 500-550°/0.1-0.7 Torr leads to the hitherto unreported enantiomers of (6RS,7RS)- and (6RS,7SR)-6,7-epoxy-6,7-dihydro-β-farnesenes ((±)-5 and (±)-6, resp.). In particular, (+)-5 is formed in 45% yield (ca. 90% ee) and is, thus, an attractive chiral building block for natural-product synthesis.

    Notes: A series of ceramides, called oceanapins A-F (2-7), which are unique for branching at both the sphingosine and fatty-acid chains, have been isolated as pure compounds from the haplosclerid sponge Oceanapia cf. tenuis of the Coral Sea. Following acid hydrolysis, both the fatty-acid and the sphingosine portions were obtained separately, which allowed their unequivocal structural definition. The absolute configuration was secured via protection of C(1′)-OH and Mosher's esterification at C(3′)-OH of the oceanapins.

    Notes: The one-electron transfer to large π-delocalized hydrocarbons provides an interesting possibility to crystallize solvent-separated ion-pair salts containing optimally solvated cations. Accordingly, the reduction of 9,10-diphenylanthracene in aprotic THF solution at a sodium metal mirror allows to grow dark-blue prismatic crystals of its radical anion and sixfold THF-solvated sodium cation. The structure of the radical anion is very similar to that recently published for the neutral molecule. According to AM1 hypersurface calculations based on the structural data, the phenyl twist angles obviously must be determined by lattice packing, and the negative charge is delocalized predominantly within the anthracene π system. The counter cation [Na⊕(THF)6], reported ordered for the first time, shows nearly octahedral coordination within a rather densily packed solvent shell. Due to the strong repulsions between the solvent molecules, its isodesmically calculated solvation enthalpy is smaller than that of the analogous dimethoxyethane complex [Na⊕(DME)3].

    Notes: The biphenyl-containing pseudo-amino acids 2′-(aminomethyl)biphenyl-2-carboxylic acid (Abc; 1) and 2′-(aminomethyl)biphenyl-2-acetic acid (Aba; 2) are used as rigid spacers in the backbone of the cyclic peptides cyclo (-Abc-Ala-Phe-Gly-)2 (5), cyclo(-Abc-Ala-Val-Gly-)2 (6), cyclo(-Aba-Gly-Phe-Ala-)2 (7), and cyclo(-Aba-Ala-Phe-Gly-)2(8). Three different interconverting diastereoisomers are found in solutions of each of these cyclopeptides due to the atropisomerism of the biphenyl units. NMR Techniques and molecular-dynamics calculations allow to conclude that the major diastereoisomer of 5 (and 6) in (D6)DMSO adopts a β-sheet conformation. It is proposed that the pseudo-amino acid 1 of (R)-chirality forms, with attached L-amino acids, a H-bonding pattern comparable to a β-turn (see D in Fig. 4 and F).

    Notes: Vitamin-B12-Catalyzed C, C-Bond Formation: Synthesis of Jasmonates via Sequential Radical ReactionThe Cbl-catalyzed electroreduction of 3-(2′-bromo-1′-ethoxyethoxy)cyclopenten (1a) in presence of 1-cyanovinyl-acetate (8) gave, in a sequential radical reaction (5-exo-trig-cyclization of 1a followed by addition to 8), 1-cyano-2-(2′-ethoxy-hexahydro-2′H-cyclopenta[b] furan-4′-yl)ethyl acetate (10a). This intermediate was transformed to methyl jasmonate (7; four steps) and epituberolide (9; three steps) in 20 and 31% yield, respectively, from cyclopent-2-en-l-ol.

The annelated pyridine rings were built up in each case with dimethyl 4-oxoglutaconate according to Corey's procedure. All three o-quinone derivatives 3-5 are stable compounds, comparable to PQQ-triester. The azaisomers vary in biological activity from practically inactive to strong inhibition of the α-amidating enzyme or the ornithin decarboxylase.

The structure of the new racemic 1,2-dihydroquinolines 1-18 is determined by NMR spectroscopy. A reaction mechanism proceeding via a 6π-electrocyclic rearrangement of 2-(1-phenylvinyl)anils 19 as the key step is proposed for the formation of these compounds (Scheme 1). The scope and limitations of the novel methods are discussed (Scheme 2).

    Notes: The 2′-deoxyisoguanosine (1) was synthesized by a two-step procedure from 2′-deoxyguanosine (5). Amination of silylated 2′-deoxyguanosine yielded 2-amino-2′-deoxyadenosine (6) which was subjected to selective deamination of the 2-NH2 group resulting in compound 1. Also 2′,3′-dideoxyisoguanosine (2) was prepared employing the photo-substitution of the 2-substituent of 2-chloro-2′,3′-dideoxyadenosine (4). The latter was synthesized by Barton deoxygenation from 2-chloro-2′-deoxyadenosine (3) or via glycosylation of 2,6-dichloropurine (12) with the lactol 13. Compound 1 was less stable at the N-glycosylic bond than 2′-deoxyguanosine (5). The dideoxynucleoside 2 was deaminated by adenosine deaminase affording 2′,3′-dideoxyxanthosine (17).

    Notes: A series of 2′-benzamido-2′-deoxyadenosine analogues were synthesized in an effort to find new lead structures for the treatment of sleeping sickness. The 2′-deoxy-2′-(3-methoxybenzamido)adenosine (1h) was proved to be a selective inhibitor of the parasite glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase which confirms the modeling studies. The solution-state conformation of 2′-(thiophene-2-carboxamido) analogue 1d demonstrates a 2′-endo conformation, an orientation of the thiophene ring under the ribose moiety, and the base part occupying a ‘syn’/‘anti’ equilibrium.

    Notes: The decomposition of cyclohexyl diazoacetate (5a) in the presence of the chiral [Rh2{(2S)-mepy}4] catalyst leads to a 3:1 cis/trans mixture of bicyclic lactone 6a with an enantiomeric excess of 95-97% (cis) and 90% (trans). The conformationally rigid tert-butyl derivatives 5b and 5c afford, in the presence of the same catalyst, 6b and 6c, respectively, via insertion into the equatorial C—H bonds exclusively, with ee's of ca. 95%. A remarkable degree of induction (92-95%) results in the lactone 6g upon decomposition of 1-isopropyl-2-methylpropyl diazoacetate (5g). The diazoacetates derived from 1-methylcyclohexanol, cyclopentanol and 1-methylcyclopentanol (5d-f) afford under similar conditions insertion products with higher diastereoselectivity, but significantly lower enantioselectivity. Other dirhodium catalysts are less efficient.

These calculations suggested the occurrence of two conformations for each compound characterized by different φ and Ψ glycosidic angles. However, 1H-NMR investigation of D2O solutions of 2-4 indicated a sure preference for one of the two conformers with a contribution of the other one ranging from negligible to low.

    Notes: The synthesis on solid phase of a new derivative of the anticoagulant protein hirudin is described (see Scheme and Fig.1, I). The henicosapeptide is a bivalent conjugate of the C-terminus of hirudin and of the active-site-binding tetrapeptide D-Phe-Pro-Arg-Pro linked via a tetraglycine spacer. The peptide, for which the name hirufos was coined, incorporates a stable phosphono derivative of L-phenylalanine which, combined with the other structural modifications, leads to a potent anticoagulant agent. Synthesis was readily achieved by the (9H-fluoren-9-yl)-methoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) strategy followed by acidolytic cleavage from the resin and deprotection, including the liberation of the crucial phosphonic group on L-phenylalanine.

    Notes: Tri-o-thymotide (TOT) clathrates are enantiomorphous and enantioselective (chiral cages). It was shown that an external molecular reactant can diffuse into the TOT host crystal lattice and reacts with the included molecule (guest) in characteristic ways, differing from those occurring in liquid solutions. Several aspects of the action of hydrogen halides (HCl, HBr) on the chemical behavior of included oxiranes were investigated for solid-gas and solid-liquid (aqueous) systems. Under well established experimental conditions, these reactions gave regiospecifically one target product and were asymmetric. The included substrate underwent first an acid-catalyzed allylic isomerization that is cage-specific and mostly quantitative. In sheer contrast, strong basic conditions were required to promote, in reduced yield, the analogous transformation in solution. The regiospecificity and enantioselectivity of several intra-crystalline conversions allowed the accurate determination of the absolute configuration of several guest molecules. Kinetic measurements were achieved that disclosed some striking features of this new type of heterogeneous reactions. Tentative models for the cage stereoselective mechanisms are briefly discussed.

    Notes: The complex formation by Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, and Cd2+ with tris[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]amine (N(CH2CH2NMe2)3, Me6tren) was investigated at 25° and at an ionic strength of 1, using VIS spectroscopy and potentiometric measurements. The stability constants of these complexes are compared with those of tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (N(CH2CH2NH2)3, tren), obtained under the same conditions. The values of the constants for Me6tren are much lower than those for tren, due to the bulky Me substituents. The values of the constants can be correlated with the ability of the individual metal ions to adopt coordination number 5. This appears to be easier for Cu2+ and Co2+ than for Cd2+ and Zn2+ and is very difficult for Ni2+. The 1:1 complexes [ML(H2O)]2+ are monoprotonic acids whose pKs values are similar or lower than those of the corresponding aquametal ions. The X-ray crystal structure of the copper(II) complex [Cu(SO4)(Me6tren)] · 8H2O reveals pentacoordination at the central ion. The UV/VIS spectra of the aqueous solutions of the Co2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+ 1:1 complexes confirm that the same coordination number is present also in these complexes.

    Notes: The structure of peregrine (1), a norditerpenoid alkaloid isolated from Delphinium peregrinum var. elongatum BOISS., was revised on the basis of the 1H-COSY, HMQC, HMBC, and ROESY NMR spectra and of the X-ray analysis of its parent alcohol 2. Some of the 13C-NMR resonances of 1 and the related alkaloids peregrine alcohol (2), 14-O-acetylperegrine (3), bicoloridine (4), bicoloridine alcohol (5), 6-O-acetylbicolorine (6), bicolorine (7), and 14-O-acetylbicolorine (8), were also reassigned.

    Notes: The antivirally active 3′-deoxyadenylyl-(2′-5′)-3′-deoxyadenylyl-(2′-5′)-3′-deoxyadenosine (cordycepin trimer core) was modified at the 2′- or 5′-terminus, by attachment of cholesterol via a carbonate bond (→ 15) or a succinate linker (→ 16 and 27) to improve cell permeability. The corresponding monomeric conjugates 4, 7, and 21 of cordycepin were prepared as model substances to study the applicability of the anticipated protecting groups - the monomethoxytrityl (MeOTr), the (tert-butyl)dimethylsilyl (tbds), and the β -eliminating 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl (npe) and 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethoxycarbonyl (npeoc) groups - for the final deblocking steps without harming the ester bonds of the conjugate trimers. The syntheses were performed in solution using phosphoramidite chemistry. The fully protected trimer conjugates 13, 14, and 26 as well as all intermediates were characterized by elemental analyses, UV and 1H-NMR spectra. The deblocked conjugates 15, 16, and 27 were pure according to HPLC and showed the correct compositions by mass spectra. Comparative biological studies indicated that cordycepincholesterol conjugate trimers 16 and 27 were 333- and 1000-fold, respectively, more potent inhibitors of HIV-1-induced syncytia formation than cordycepin trimer core.

    Notes: The pyrophosphoric-acid-analogue phosphonoformic acid (pfa) and the amino-acid-analogue (aminomethyl)phosphonic acid (ampa) both form, in the deprotonated state, i.e., as -OOC-PO32- and H2N—CH2—PO32-, respectively, five-membered chelate rings with metal ions. pfa inhibits both phosphate transport and virus replication, while ampa is a metabolic product of the common herbicide glyphosate ( = N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine). The acidity constants of H2pfa- and H2ampa± as well as the stability constants of the [M(Hpfa)], [M(pfa)]-, [M(Hampa)]+, and [M(ampa)] complexes, where M2+ = Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Cu(2,2′-bipyridyl)2+, Cu(1,10-phenanthroline)2+, Zn2+, or Cd2+, have been determined by potentiometric pH titrations in aqueous solution at 25° and I = 0.1M (NaNO3). The structures of isomeric complexes and the connected intramolecular equilibria are deduced and evaluated based on the equilibrium constants measured and those calculated via the pKa values of the above mentioned ligands and previously established log K vs. pKa straight-line plots (H. Sigel et al., Helv. Chim. Acta 1992, 75, 2634) for a simple phosphonate-M2+ coordination. pfa forms stronger complexes than ampa with all the above mentioned metal ions, with the single exception of [Cu(ampa)] which is slightly more stable than [Cu(pfa)]-. In neutral solutions, more precisely at pH of ca. 6, pfa complexes of alkaline-earth-metal ions retain one phosphonate-bound proton, [M(Hpfa)], while those of the transition-metal ions chelate with the trianionic ligand, pfa3-. In accord with increasing ligand-basicity, the stability-constant order for all metal-ion complexes is oxalate 〉 pfa 〉 pyrophosphate but, owing to proton competition in pyrophosphate, in neutral solutions metal-ion complexation of pfa3- competes with P2O74-. With ampa alkaline-earth-metal ions interact only with the phosphonate group of even the dianionic ligand (though Mg2+ appears to form a low fraction of a [Mg(ampa)] chelate) while transition-metal ions form chelates which are comparable in stability to those of glycinate.

    Notes: The crystal structure of the Sb2F11 salt of the 2-phenyladamant-2-yl cation, 1 · Sb2F11, was determined at 183 K (P21/c, R1 = 0.0652, σ(C—C) = 0.02 Å), because earlier published results indicated a charge delocalization from the cationic C(2) into the σ framework (C—C hyperconjugation) and a bending of the C(2) bridge. In the structure of 1, a displacement of the C(2) bridge by 7.8(12)° from the symmetrical position and C—C bond-length deviations from expectation values were found which are in agreement with preferential C—C hyperconjugation on one face of C(2). The interactions of 1 with two Sb2F11 counterions nearest to C(2) also indicate different behaviour of the two faces of C(2). The benzylic resonance in 1 is confirmed.

    Notes: The bicyclic monoselenoacetal 7, easily obtained from (±)-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-one (6) via a radical addition-acyl migration sequence, was converted to racemic 12-epiprostaglandins 3 and 4. The key intermediate was the all-cis-formyllactone 2b related to Corey lactone (see 12; Scheme 1). The presence of a (tert-butyl)-dimethylsilyl protective group for the 11-OH substituent (prostaglandin numbering) was found to be crucial in avoidingβ -elimination and epimerization during the Wittig-Horner reaction (Scheme 2). Epimerization at C(12) at the formyllactone stage (see 2b) was also possible and gave the known precursor 1b of naturally occurring prostaglandins and analogs.

    Notes: While trialkylamines and dialkyl(phenyl)amines do not react with CS2 in the sense of an addition reaction, the analogous phosphines react smoothly. Attempts to interpret the reaction course on the basis of semiempirical, HF, MP2, and MP4 calculations of energy changes failed completely. To understand why Me3P or Me2PhP react so vigorously (liquid phase, 300 K) with CS2, CASSCF and MRSDCI calculations must be carried out.

    Notes: (Hydroxymethyl)bilane synthase (HMBS) catalyses the conversion of porphobilinogen (2) into the (hydroxymethyl)bilane derivative 3, a linear tetrapyrrolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of haem, chlorophyll, and related pigments. The conversion involves the sequential formation of four intermediate covalent enzyme-substrate complexes, before the product is released. We analysed the pre-steady-state kinetics of the formation of the complexes, taking advantage of their remarkable chemical stability allowing chromatographic separation. The experimental approach involved the generation of the complexes while HMBS was immobilised on an anion-exchange column. A solution being 0.2 Km in substrate was pumped through the column during a time interval which was varied to sample the pre-steady-state period. Then, the enzyme and enzyme-substrate complexes were eluted and their proportions evaluated. A computer simulation of the pre-steady-state time course, in combination with a χ2 fitting to the experimental data, allowed the specificity constants kcat/Km for the individual steps of the process to be derived. By repeating the analysis with variants of HMBS in which specific amino acids were replaced by others, we demonstrated that it is possible to trace the consequences of amino-acid replacements down to the individual steps of the reaction sequence. Since the positions of the amino acids concerned in the three-dimensional structure were known, detailed structure-function relationships become evident in this way.

    Notes: Cyclic oligomers of (R)-3-hydroxyvaleric acid (3-HV) are prepared from the monomer by three different methods, giving various ratios of the oligomers. The macrocycles containing three to twelve 3-HV units (12- to 48-membered rings) are isolated in pure form by chromatography. The triolide 3 can be separated by distillation and isolated on large scale. Biopol, the copolymer of (R)-3-hydroxybutanoic acid (3-HB) and (R)-3-hydroxyvaleric acid (3-HV), is degraded to mixtures of Me- and Et-substituted triolides (‘mixolides’) with high crystallization tendency. The X-ray crystal structures of the tetrolide 4, pentolide 5, hexolide 6, heptolide 7, and of two ‘mixolides’ (with inclusions of solvent) have been determined (Figs. 3-7, 10, and 11) and are compared with those of the corresponding 3-HB derivatives reported previously. From the structural data, a 31 and a 21 helix of 3-HV can be modelled, and the latter one compared with helix structures of P9(3-HB) and P(3-HV) derived from stretch-fibre X-ray scattering. Crystals of a water-containing NaSCN complex of the triethyl triolide 3 were obtained in good quality for X-ray analysis. The structure (Figs. 12, 13, and Table 6) contains an interesting array of C=O and H2O O-atoms around the Na+ ions along a channel-type tube (a-axis of the crystal) which may be relevant to the role of P(3-HB) and P(3-HV) as components of cellular ion channels.

    Notes: By conventional peptide-coupling methods (C to N direction; mixed anhydride, bis(2)-oxooxazolidin-3-yl)phosphinoyl chloride (Bop-Cl), or dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), 2-amino-2-methyl-3-(methylamino)-propionic acid and 2-amino-2-ethyl-3-(methylamino)propionic acid ( = 2-amino-2-[(methylamino)methyl]butanoic acid) are incorporated in the central position of tri-, penta-, and heptapeptides (see 3-7, 21, and 22). The fragment coupling of the β -amino group of the diamino-acid moiety in a tetrapeptide led to partial epimerization, and thus, two epimeric heptapeptide derivatives were actually obtained (7 and epi-7). The final deprotection to the free heptapeptide (involving a Me3SiI cleavage of BocNH and MeOCONH, a saponification with NaOH, and HPLC purification) gave both the desired product (isopeptide 21), with the β -amino group inside the peptide backbone, and a product (peptide 22) of transpeptidation, with the α-amino group of the diamino acid incorporated and a (methylamino)methyl group as the side chain. Peptide 22 is completely converted to the isopeptide 21 by prolonged treatment with base. The heptapeptide 21 was analyzed by elaborate 2QF-COSY and NOESY NMR measurements in H2O/CD3OD at -5° (Table, Fig.); there is no indication for β -sheet or helical structures, a fact which was also confirmed by CD measurements.

    Notes: The triphenylstannyl β-D-glucopyranoside 4 was synthesized in one step from the 1,2-anhydro-α-D-glucopyranose 3 with (triphenylstannyl)lithium (Scheme 1). Transmetallation of 4 with excess BuLi, followed by quenching the dianion 7 with CD3OD gave (1S)-1,5-anhydro-3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-[1-2H]-D- glucitol (8) in 81% yield (Scheme 2). Trapping of 7 with benzaldehyde, isobutyraldehyde, or acroleine gave the expected β-D-configurated products 11, 12, and 13 in good yields. Preparation of C-acyl glycosides from acid chlorides, such as acetyl or benzoyl chloride was not practicable, but addition of benzonitrile to 7 yielded 84% of the benzoylated product 14. Treatment of 7 with MeI led to 15 (30%) along with 40% of 18, C-alkylation being accompanied by halogen-metal exchange. Prior addition of lithium 2-thienylcyanocuprate increased the yield of 15 to 50% and using dimethyl sulfate instead of MeI led to 77% of 15. No α-D-anomers could be detected, except with allyl bromide as the electrophile, which yielded in a 1:1 mixture of the anomers 16 and 17.

    Notes: Enantiomerically pure C2-symmetric 1,4-diols embodying bicyclic C-frameworks were synthesized by means of asymmetric carbo-Diels-Alder reactions as key steps (Scheme 1). They were investigated as chiral ligands in the enantioselective addition of ZnEt2 to aromatic aldehydes. In the presence of 20-40 mol-% of the titanates formed from these diols and [Ti(i-PrO)4] at -78°, the respective 1-arylpropanols were obtained with enantiomer ratios up to 93:7 (Scheme 2, Table).

    Notes: Preparation and screening of twenty new ligands, all analogs of α,α,α′,α′-tetraaryl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dimethanol (TADDOL), for the Ti-catalyzed asymmetric addition of methyltri(isopropoxy)titanium and diethylzinc to benzaldehyde are described. These ligands have the dioxolane ring of the TADDOL's replaced by cyclobutane, cyclopentane, cyclohexene, cyclohexane, bicyclo[2.2.1]heptene and -heptane and bicyclo[2.2.2]octene and -octane moieties; several have H-atoms or alkyl groups in place of the aryl groups, and nine of them have C2 symmetry. X-Ray crystallography and molecular mechanics are used to analyze the structure of the ligands, and two structural features appear to correlate with selectivity: (i) the torsion angle for the chelating O-atom and the ortho-C-atom of the axial Ph group (a small, ca. 19°, angle is optimum, Fig.8) and (ii) the “degree of perpendicularity” of the axial Ph group (Fig. 9). Competition experiments indicate that TADDOL 1a catalyzes both the methyltitanium and diethylzinc additions ≥ 50 times faster than the related dioxolane analogs 12a, 12c, and 12e (Scheme 7), indicating that both axial and equatorial aryl groups (see Footnote 6) are necessary for ligand-accelerated catalysis of these reactions. A refined mechanistic hypothesis is presented (Fig. 10) to explain the selectivities observed for these new ligands. Our analysis suggests that a combination of structural features appear necessary for good catalytic efficiency and high selectivity. These features, especially the rather subtle conformational effects, appear to be optimized (among the ligands tested) in the TADDOL's.

    Notes: In a theoretical investigation of the structure and reactivity of indole derivatives of tricarbonylchromium(0), we have used two different semi-empirical quantum chemical models derived from the extended Hückel molecular-orbital (EHMO) formalism. The first one, based on the atom-superposition and electron-delocalization (ASED) method, is used to optimize the geometry of the systems; it is shown to lead to results in satisfactory agreement with experiment in the case of the complex for which X-ray structural data are available, the average errors being 0.03-0.05 Å for bond distances and 5° for bond angles. The second one consists of a local reactivity index, made of the intermolecular interaction energy between the organometallic substrate and a model reactant. It is seen that this procedure is able to reproduce the experimental trends as to the most reactive regions of the systems investigated towards nucleophilic and electrophilic addition reactions.

    Notes: 1,3-Thiazole-5(4H)-thione oxides 2 were prepared by oxidation of the corresponding 1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-thiones 1 with m-chloroperbenzoic acid (Table 1). Addition reactions of 2 with organolithium and Grignard reagents yielded 4,5-dihydro-4,4-dimethyl-1,3-thiazol-5-yl methyl sulfoxides of type 4 via thiophilic attack (Table 2). Whereas the reaction with the organolithium compounds proceeded with fair-to-excellent yields, the Grignard reagents reacted only very sluggishly. The sulfoxides 4 could also be prepared via oxidation of 4,5-dihydro-4,4-dimethyl-5-(methylthio)-1,3-thiazoles of type 3 with m-chloroperbenzoic acid, together with the corresponding sulfones 5 (Scheme 1).

    Notes: The α-D-allo-diol 9 possesses an intramolecular H-bond (HO—C(3) to O—C(1)) in solution and in the solid state (Fig. 2). In solution, it exists as a mixture of the tautomers 9a and 9b (Fig. 3), which possess a bifurcated H-bond, connecting HO—C(2) with both O—C(1) and O—C(3). In addition, 9a possesses the same intramolecular H-bond as in the solid state, while 9b is characterized by an intramolecular H-bond between HO—C(3) and O—C(4). In solution, the β-D-anomer 12 is also a mixture of tautomers, 12a and presumably a dimer. The H-bonding in 9 and 12 is evidenced by their IR and 1H-NMR spectra and by a comparison with those of 3-8, 10, and 11. The expected regioselectivity of glycosidation of 9 and 12 by the diazirine 1 or the trichloroacetimidate 2 is discussed on the basis of the relative degree of acidity/nucleophilicity of individual OH groups, as governed by H-bonding. Additional factors determining the regioselectivity of glycosidation by 1 are the direction of carbene approach/proton transfer by H-bonded OH groups, and the stereoelectronic control of both the proton transfer to the alkoxy-alkyl carbene (in the σ-plane) and the combination of the thereby formed ions (π-plane of the oxycarbenium ion). Glycosidation of 9 by the diazirine 1 or the trichloroacetimidate 2 proceeded in good yields (75-94%) and with high regioselectivity. Glycosidation of 9 and 12 by 1 or 2 gave mixtures of the disaccharides 14-17 and 18-21, respectively (Scheme 2). As expected, glycosidation of 12 by 1 or by 2 gave a nearly 1:1 mixture of regioisomers and a slight preference for the β-D-anomers (Table 4). Glycosidation of the α-D-anomer 9 gave mostly the 1,3-linked disaccharides 16 and 17 (α-D β-D) along with the 1,2-linked disaccharides 14 and 15 (α-D 〈 β-D, 1,2-/1,3-linked glycosides ca. 1:4), except in THF and at low temperature, where the β-D-configurated 1,2-linked disaccharide 15 is predominantly formed. Similarly, glycosidation of 9 with 2 yielded mainly the 1,3-linked disaccharides (1,2-/1,3-linked products ca. 1:3 and α-D/β-D ca. 1:4). Yields and selectivity depend upon the solvent and the temperature. The regioselectivity and the unexpected stereoselectivity of the glycosidation of 9 by 1 evidences the combined effect of the above mentioned factors, which also explain the lack of regio-complementarity in the glycosidation of 9 by 1 and by 2 (Scheme 3). THF solvates the intermediate oxycarbenium ion, as evidenced by the strong influence of this solvent on the regio- and stereoselectivity, particularly at low temperatures, where kinetic control leads to a stereoelectronically preferred axial attack of THF on the oxycarbenium ion.

    Notes: Condensation of 3,4-dihydro-6,7-dimethoxyisoquinoline (4) with 4-methylnicotinoyl chloride (12) in refluxing pyridine gives 5,6,13,13a-tetrahydro-2,3-dimethoxy-8H-isoquino[2,1-b][2,7] naphthyridin-8-one (11), along with some of its 13,13a-didehydro derivative 7. A similar reaction of 4 with 4-(chloromethyl)nicotinoyl chloride (14) affords, in addition to 7, the isomeric product 10,11-dihydro-7,8-dimethoxy-13H-pyrido[4′,3′:3,4]pyrrolo[2,1- b][3]benzazepin-13-one (3). Analogous pairs of products are obtained from 3,4-dihydro-6,7-(methylenedioxy)- and 3,4-dihydro-6,7,8-trimethoxy-isoquinolines (15 and 18, resp.). The structure of 3 was established by extensive NMR data and confirmed by single-crystal X-ray studies. Structure 7 has the ring system of the Alangium alkaloids like alangimarinc (1), while the isomeric ring system 3 is predicted to be present in nature on biogenetic reasoning.

    Notes: We describe the synthesis of short double-stranded DNA fragments (see 4 and 13) which are capped on both ends by an optimally designed linker molecule. The new structures are stable with respect to hybrid dissociation and should have implications in physical studies involving double-stranded DNA as well as in the antisense area for the specific modulation of gene expressions.

    Notes: Nucleophilic substitution of 6β-chloro-7,8-didehydro-4,5α-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methylmorphinan (1) and 8α-bromo-6,7-didehydro-4,5α-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methylmorphinan (2) with lithium cyano(methyl)- and (aryl)cyanocuprates(I) (5a-c) was accompanied by allylic rearrangement with both change and retention of orientation of the substituting group (Scheme 1, Table 1). Nucleophilic substitution in 7,8-didehydro-4,5α-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methylmorphinan-6α-yl methanesulfonate (3) and 7,8-didehydro-4,5α-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methylmorphinan-6β-yl methanesulfonate (4) proceeded without allylic rearrangement with both change and retention of the orientation of the substituting group (Scheme 2, Table 1). X-Ray diffraction studies of the products 6,7-didehydro-4,5α-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methyl-8α-phenylmorphinan (6b) and 7,8-didehydro-4,5α-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methyl-6β-phenylmorphinan (7b) were carried out (Figs. 1 and 2).

    Notes: The crystal structure of (-)-corycavinium (+)-10-camphorsulfonate has been investigated by X-ray analysis. The structure of (-)-corycavinium ion ( = (-)-(7S,13S,14R)-5,6,13,13a-tetrahydro-13a-hydroxy-7-methyl-2,3;9,10-bis(methylenedioxy)-8H-dibenzo[a,g]quinolizinium), has been determined. The conformation with B/C-cis-conjunction, a twisted half-chair of ring B, and a half-chair of ring C, as well as α-oriented substituted groups N…Me, C…Me, and C…OH is revealed. Feeding experiments with cell suspension cultures of Corydalis incisa (Papaveraceae) defined the intermediacy of (-)-corycavinium in the route from protoberberine-type to hexahydrobenzo[c]phenanthridine-type of alkaloids. On the basis of the present crystal conformation, the stereospecificity of the relating enzyme is biogenetically considered.

    Description / Table of Contents: Symmetrical Azopyridinone Dyes: Synthesis, Spectrophotometrical and Acidobasic Properties, Metal-Complex Formation and Kinetical Investigation of the Azo-Dye FormationThe 13 substituted symmetrical azopyridinone dyes 2a-n were synthesized and their VIS spectra measured. The pK*a values of some dyes and of pyridinone coupling components were determined in MeOH/H2O 64:36. The metal-complex formation of the dyes with Cd2+, Zn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+ was investigated, and complex-formation constants of the 1:1 complexes were determined in H2O for 2k (Table 2) and in dimethylformamide/H2O 1:1 for some other azopyridinone dyes (Table 3). The mechanism of the azo-dye formation was investigated and found to be much more complicated than expected. A mechanism of the coupling reaction was developed (see Scheme 4) and fitted by least-squares calculations.

    Notes: The relation between H-bonding in diequatorial trans-1,2 and axial, equatorial cis-1,2-diols and the regioselectivity of glycosidation by the diazirine 1 was examined. H-Bonds were assigned on the basis of FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectra (Fig. 1). Glycosidation by 1 of the gluco-configurated diequatorial trans-2,3-diols 4-7 yielded the mono-glucosylated products 16/17/20/21 (69-89%); 1,2-/1,3-linked products (37-46:63-54), 24/25/28/29 (60-63%; 1,2-/1,3-linked products 46-51:54-49), 32-35 (69-94%; 1,2-/1,3-linked products 45-52:55-48), and 36/37/40/41 (59-63%; 1,2-/1,3-linked products 52-59:48-41), respectively (Scheme 1, Table 3). The disaccharides derived from 4, 5, and 7 were characterized as their acetates 18/19/22/23, 26/27/30/31, and 38/39/42/43, respectively. Glycosidation of the galacto-configurated diequatorial 2,3-diols 8 and 9 and the manno-configurated diequatorial 3,4-diol 10 by 1 (Scheme 2, Table 3) also proceeded in fair yields to give the disaccharides 44-47 (69-80%;1,2-/1,3-linked products ca. 1:1), 48-51 (51-61%;1,2/-1,3-linked products 54-56:56-54), and 56/57/60/61 (71-80%; 1,3-/1,4-linked products 49-54:51-46), respectively. The 1,3-linked disaccharides 56/57 derived from the diol 10 were characterized as the acetates 58/59. The regio- and stereoselectivities of the glycosidation by 1 were much better for the α-D-manno-configurated axial, equatorial cis-2,3-diol 11 and the galacto-configurated axial, equatorial cis-3,4-diol 13 (1,2-/1,3-linked disaccharides ca. 3:7 for 11 and 1,3-/1,4-linked disaccharides ca. 4:1 for 13; Scheme 3, Table 4). The regio- and stereoselectivity for the β-D-manno-configurated cis-2,3-diol 12 were, however, rather poor (1,2-/1,3-linked products 48:52). The 1,2-linked disaccharides 66/67 derived from 12 were characterized as the acetates 70/71. Koenigs-Knorr-type glycosidation of the cis-diols 11-13 by 2 or 3 proceeded with a similar regio- and a higher stereoselectivity (α-D 〉 β-D with the donor 2 and α-D 〈 β-D with the donor 3) than with 1, with the exception of 12 which did not react with 2. The regioselectivity of the glycosidations by 1 agrees fully with the H-bonding scheme of the diols and with the hypothesis that the intermediate carbene is preferentially protonated by the most weakly H-bonded OH group. The regioselectivity of the glycosidation by 2 and by 3 is determined by a higher reactivity of the equatorial OH groups and by H-bonding. Several H-bonded and equilibrating isomers of a given diol may intervene in the glycosidation by 1, or by 2 and 3, resulting in the same regioselectivity. The low nucleophilicity of 12 and the low degree of regioselectivity in its reaction with 3 show that stereoelectronic effects may also profoundly influence the nucleophilicity of OH groups.

    Notes: The luminescent EuIII ion has been used to probe the metal-binding sites of bovine α-lactalbumin (BLA) in D2O. Upon addition of apo-BLA to an EuIII-containing solution, the intrinsic luminescence of the protein is quenched, and the EuIII luminescence is enhanced. Luminescent titrations point to there being at least two different metal-binding sites in the apo-protein. Curve analysis of the high resolution 5D0←7F0 excitation spectra reveals the existence of three different environments for the bonded EuIII ions. Two environments, labelled Ia and Ib, give 5D0←7F0 bands very close in energy; they contain four negatively charged groups and are assigned to one site we identify as the calcium-binding site. Site I is protected from solvent influences and is somewhat rigid, since it displays selectivity towards lanthanide ions. The origin of the two similar environments Ia and Ib could not be determined unambiguously. The third environment is ascribed to a nonspecific metal-binding site in which the EuIII ion is more exposed to the solvent (site II). It is sequentially populated after saturation of site I, and its population is pH-dependent. The affinity constant of EuIII for this site was estimated from the excitation spectra: log K2app = 3.5(1). Assignment of the metal binding sites has been facilitated by comparison with model compounds, [Eu(dota)]- (dota = 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane N,N′,N″, N‴-tetraacetate), [Eu(dtpa)]2- (dtpa = diethylenetriamine tetraacetate), and [Eu(bsa)] (bsa = bovine serum albumin). The usefulness and limits of the use of curve-analysis procedures to unravel the various components of 5D0←7F0 excitation spectra in biological materials are also discussed.
