    Notes: The dynamic changes of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in interphase and mitotic cells was detected by the vital fluorescent dye 3,3′-dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide. Two types of arrays characterize the continuous ER system in the non-muscle PtK2 cell: (1) a lacy network of irregular polygons and (2) long strands of ER that are found aligned along stress fibers. In cross-striated myotubes there was a periodic localization of fluorescence over each I-band corresponding to the positions of the terminal cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). In contrast to the arrangement in muscle cells, the aligment of the long strands of ER along stress fibers showed no strict periodicity that could be correlated with the sarcomeric units of the stress fibers. The ER and SR arrays seen in living cells were also detected in fixed cells stained with antibodies directed against proteins of the endoplasmic reticulum and sarcoplasmic reticulum, respectively. Observations of vitally stained PtK2 cells at 1 to 2 minute intervals using low light level video cameras and image processing techniques enabled us to see the polygonal ER units form and undergo changes in their shapes. During cell division, the ER, rhodamine 123-stained mitochondria, and phagocytosed fluorescent beads were excluded from the mitotic spindle while soluble proteins were not. No obvious concentration or alignment of membranes could be found associated with the contractile proteins in the cleavage furrow. After completion of cell division there was a redeployment of the ER network in each daughter cell.

    Notes: Spermatozoa of the rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri, were demembranated with Triton X-100. The demembranated spermatozoa showed vigorous motility in the reactivation solution containing Ca2+ at the concentrations below 10-8.5M in the presence of cAMP. The motility was lost at 10-8M Ca2+ or more. The shape of the immotile flagella in the presence of high concentration of Ca2+ was not uniform: Some showed the cane shape and some were almost straight. The change in Ca2+ concentration of the extraction solution did not alter the motility of the reactivated spermatozoa. These results were different from those obtained from the sea urchin spermatozoa. When the concentration of cAMP was changed from 0.5 to 100 μM, the concentration of Ca2+ for converting the motile to immotile state was not altered. Thus, it is likely that the Ca2+-dependent regulatory system of flagellar movement is independent of the cAMP-induced initiation mechanism, which is assumed to require the transient influx of Ca2+ in rainbow trout spermatozoa.

    Notes: Profilin is a G-actin binding protein that may have a role in controlling the ratio of G/F actin within the cells To devise a way for obtaining large amounts of mammalian profilin in an active state, we transfected Escherichia coli with a plasmid containing a full-length rat spleen profilin cDNA adjacent to a promoter inducible by isopropyl thiogalactoside (IPTG). Upon induction, they synthesized a new protein of 15,000 MW constituting approximately 5% of the total cell protein. This protein bound to poly-L-proline Sepharose and could be eluted with 7 M urea, behavior similar to that exhibited by authentic profilin. The protein could be released from the bacteria in soluble form following sonication, and the profilin could then be purified to homogeneity following chromatography on Sephadex G-75 and DEAE A-50 Sephadex. The protein began with an unblocked Ala, indicating that the initiating formyl and methionine residues had been removed. The dissociation of the recombinant profilin from chicken skeletal muscle actin was characterized by a Kd of approximately 2 μM based on gel filtration analysis and actin polymerization assays. These results show that purified active mammalian profilin can be made conveniently in large quantities. This study also demonstrates the feasibility of using bacterially synthesized profilin in structure-function studies involving mutant profilins altered by site-directed mutagenesis.

    Notes: Quinacrine, an acridine derivative which competitively binds to ATP binding sites, has previously been shown to cause the reorganization of metaphase spindle microtubules (MTs) due to changes in interactions of non-kinetochore microtubules (nkMTs) of opposite polarity (Armstrong and Snyder: Cell Motil. Cytoskeleton 7:10-19, 1987). In the study presented here, mitotic PtK1 cells were treated in early anaphase with concentrations of quinacrine ranging from 2 to 12 μM to determine energy requirements for chromosome motion. The rate and extent of chromosome-to-pole movements (anaphase A) were not affected by these quinacrine treatments. The extent of anaphase B (kinetochore-kinetochore separation) was reduced with increasing concentrations of quinacrine. Five micromolar quinacrine reduced the extent of kinetochore-kinetochore separation by 20%, and addition of 12 μM quinacrine reduced the kinetochore-kinetochore separation by 40%. To determine the role of nkMTs in anaphase spindle elongationquinacrine-treated metaphase cells were treated with hyperosmotic sucrose concentrations, and spindle elongation was measured (Snyder et al.: Eur J. Cell Biol. 39:373-379, 1985). Metaphase cells treated with 2-10 μM concentrations of quinacrine for 2-5 min reduced spindle lengths by 10-50% prior to 0.5 M sucrose treatment for 5 min. This treatment showed a significant reduction in the ability of sucrose to induce spindle elongation in cells pretreated with quinacrine. As spindle length and birefringence was reduced by quinacrine treatment, sucrose-induced elongation was concomitantly diminished. These data suggest that quinacrine-sensitive linkages are necessary for anaphase B motions. Reduction in these linkages and/or MT length in the nkMT continuum may reduce the ability of the nkMTs to hold compression at metaphase. This form of energy is thought to drive a significant proportion of normal anaphase B in PtK1 cells and sucrose-induced metaphase spindle elongation.

    Notes: The molecular structure of bovine adrenal kinesin was studied by electron microscopy using the low-angle rotary shadowing technique. Adrenal kinesin exhibited either a folded or an extended configuration; the ratio of the two is dependent on the salt concentration. Almost all adrenal kinesin molecules were folded in a low-ionic solution, and the ratio of extended molecules increased to 40-50% in a solution containing 1 M ammonium acetate. Kinesin in the extended configuration displayed a rod-shaped structure with a mean length of about 80 nm. The morphologies of the ends were different; one end was composed of two globular particles, similar to the two-headed structure of myosin, while the other end had a more ill-defined structure, appearing either as a globular particle, an aggregate of two to four small granules, or a frayed, fan-like structure. The folded kinesin molecule possessed a hinge region in the middle of the rod, at about 32 nm from the neck of the two heads. In our preparations, the majority of adrenal kinesin molecules were folded at physiological salt concentrations. Adrenal kinesin bound to microtubules in the presence of adenylyl imidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP) also displayed a folded morphology.

    Notes: In the presence of specific inhibitors of beat, 20 μM VO43- or pCa 4, mussel gill lateral (L) cilia can be arrested in two positions - “hands down” or “hands up” - at opposite ends of the stroke cycle. Cilia move to these positions by doublet microtubule sliding. Axonemes of arrested cilia, still tethered to the cell, are intact after demembranation and protease treatment. When reactivated by 4 mM ATP with inhibitors present, about 40% split apart. Splits are not random but occur preferentially between different specific doublets in the two opposite arrest positions. Several different related patterns of splitting are observed; for every pattern in “hands down” axonemes, there is a corresponding complementary split pattern in “hands up” axonemes. In some split patterns two doublets remain firmly attached to the central pair; these also differ depending on axonemal position. Although some of the patterns seen may be artifactual or difficult to explain, the complementary splitting patterns are predictable with simple assumptions by a “switch point” hypothesis of ciliary activity where, during each recovery stroke, doublets 6-8 have active dynein arms, while during each effective stroke, arms on doublets 1-4 become active, and arms 6-8 are turned off. Because of a difference between the patterns seen and the predictions, the status of the arms on doublet 9 is unresolved. The patterns also suggest that a spokecentral sheath attachment cycle may correlate with switching of arm activity during the generation of an asymmetric beat.

    Notes: Two major brain microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs), MAP2 and tau, were found to be able to bind to purified rat brain mitochondria. The apparent dissociation constants of the binding of thermostable 32P-labeled MAP2 and tau are 0.9 ± 0.04 × 10-7 and 3.8 ± 0.7 × 10-7 M, respectively. 32P-labeled MAP2 and tau bound to the mitochondria can be displaced by phosphorylated, nonradioactive MAP2. The binding parameters of MAP2 prepared without heat treatment and those of the thermostable MAP2 were of the same order of magnitude. Microtubule-binding and projection domains of MAP2 were obtained by chymotryptic digestion of rat brain microtubules (Vallee, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 77:3206-3210, 1980). Displacement studies with these two domains show that MAP2 bound to mitochondria can be displaced by the microtubule-binding domain, whereas the projection domain does not displace MAP2. The two domains of MAP2 bind to the mitochondria with similar affinity constants; however, the Bmax for the projection domain was 10 times and 35 times lower than the Bmax of the binding of the intact MAP2 and the microtubule-binding domain, respectively. Chymotryptic digestion of MAP2 bound to the mitochondria yielded peptide fragments with molecular masses similar to those obtained by the digestion of MAP2 bound to the microtubules. The fragments corresponding to the projection domain were released into the extramitochondrial supernatant, whereas the fragments originating from the microtubule-binding domain remained bound to the mitochondria. These results suggest that MAP2 binds to mitochondria preferentially via its microtubule-binding domain.

    Notes: Affinity-purified antibodies raised against three flagellar tektins (tektin A, B, and C) from each of two sea urchin species (Lytechinus pictus and Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) were used to study the immunological relationship between tektins and intermediate filament proteins. By immunofluorescence microscopy, several antitektins revealed a staining of intermediate filament-like arrays in three vertebrate cell lines tested. Immunoelectron microscopy substantiated the cross reaction of antitektins with intermediate filaments. When the cells were treated with cytochalasin B, the arrangement of the filaments recognized by anti-(Lp)-tektin B was altered; the alteration observed is typical for keratin filaments. By immunoblot, it was found that anti-(Lp)-tektin B cross reacted with two isoforms or different proteins of ∼54 kD with pIs of 6.1 and 6.2 in human carcinoma epithelia (HeLa) cells and with two isoforms or different proteins of ∼55 kD with pIs of 6.1 and 6.3 in pig kidney epithelia (LLC-PK1) cells. Furthermore, when antitektin antibodies were affinity purified with the 54 kD HeLa keratin, these keratin-specific antibodies again restained the original tektins on immunoblots. From these observations, it can be concluded that tektins and keratins are to a certain extent immunologically related. To determine the degree of the immunological relationship, tektin filaments and purified intermediate filaments from HeLa cells were cleaved with α-chymotrypsin and examined by quantitative immunoblot analysis. On immunoblots of digested tektins from L. pictus, anti-(Lp)-tektin B recognized several cleavage products in the range of 20 kD to 46 kD. However, when immunoblots of digested intermediate filaments from HeLa cells were probed, the cross reaction of anti-(Lp)-tektin B with HeLa keratins was eliminated by more than 98% within 2 min, suggesting that tektins have epitopes in common with the end domains of certain keratins.

    Notes: We have used 400 kilovoit intermediate voltage electron microscopy (IVEM) to examine thick sections of fibroblasts cultured in collagen gels. In these 3D collagen lattices, the long, narrow pseudopodial extensions that extend out and make contact with the collagen matrix exhibit a complex topography not seen in the processes put out by cells moving on planar substrata. For this reason, sections 1 to 2 μm thick that enclose a whole cell process are more informative of the overall morphology of the interaction between cells and the collagen than are thin sections. To aid the discrimination of topography of cell processes in stereo views of micrographs, some cells were labeled with antibodies and protein A-colloidal gold conjugates. The gold particles provided clear 3D reference points for computeraided reconstructions of membrane topography from tilt series of IVEM images. Our results confirm that cells that move through collagen lattices lack the wellspread morphology of their counterparts moving on glass. They are generally rather spindly with several long branching anterior pseudopodia. We found that the cell bodies and major pseudopodial processes were cylindrical, as one might expect of cells in a 3D environment, but at the leading edge of advancing pseudopodia there are small flat extensions similar to those seen in cells on glass. This similarity suggests that the lamellipodium is a basic type ofprotrusive structure used by fibroblasts during locomotion on all types of substratum. The flattened shape of lamellipodia may be part of the mechanism by which cells sense the orientation of fibrillar extracellular matrices during embryonic morphogenesis.

    Notes: A preliminary theoretical study of the mechanisms for the reactions of the perchlorofluoroethanes CF2ClCCl3 (1), CF2ClCCl2F (2) and CF3CCl3 (3), with nucleophiles has been carried out by the MNDO method, following the experimentally suggested process shown in Scheme 1. The unlikely chlorophilic attack in the first step of Scheme 1 has been shown to be feasible for 1, 2 and 3 by analysis of the MO interactions. The second step has been found to be affected by the anionic hyperconjugation which stabilizes the anions CF2ClCCl2- (4), CF2ClCClF- (5) and CF3CCl2- (6) and would make reactions (2) (the second step) unfeasible in gas phase, but in solution reaction (2) may still easily occur for 4 and 5.

    Notes: The alkaline hydrolysis of several alkylphosphonates and alkylphosphonyl chlorides has been investigated by molecular mechanics calculations (MM2, 1985 version). The difference of the steric energies (ΔE) between tetracoordinate substrate and pentacoordinate transition state of phosphorus compounds represents the activation energy (ΔE≠) in hydrolysis. The change of ΔE for various alkyl groups relative to methyl group (ΔΔER) is suggested as a measure of the steric effect of substituents. Thus the correlation analysis involving log k and ΔΔER of the branched alkyl group gives good results and it is reasonable to anticipate that analogous treatment using ΔΔER for the straight chain alkyl group is not satisfactory owing to the minor contribution of steric effect of the latter. However, the multiple regression analysis of log k with ΔΔER and Taft's σ* provides very good results. As shown by us, for the hydrolytic reactions studied, the proposed ΔΔER is much better than Taft's Es and Charton's ν, the commonly used well-known steric parameters in the chemistry of carbon compounds.

    Notes: Mechanism of the Grignard reactions of aromatic ketones in THF was studied by spectroscopic and kinetic methods. The stable radical intermediates generated in the initial electron transfer from Grignard reagent to ketones are in a state of aggregated dimer of corresponding ion-radical pairs; in which two ketone anion radicals are bridged by a dimer di-cation of Grignard reagent. Subsequent alkyl radical transfer from dimeric Grignard reagent cation moiety to ketone anion radical aggregated each other are promoted by a participation of another neutral Grignard reagent. Proposed mechanism by present authors is able to explain well addition products/reduction products ratios in the Grignard reactions.

    Notes: Two posttranslational modifications of alpha-tubulin, acetylation and detyrosination, are associated with stable microtubule (MT) populations, including those of neuronal processes. We have used a pluripotent embryonal carcinoma cell line, P19, to investigate changes in MT isotype and stability found in MT arrays during neurogenesis. This cell line has an advantage in that both commitment- and differentiation-related events can be observed. Uncommitted P19 cells have minimal arrays of acetylated and detyrosinated MTs. Following neuronal induction with retinoic acid (RA), indirect immunofluorescence microscopy shows that the first MT modifications occur during commitment and before any morphological change is observed. RA-induced cells initially polymerize a temporarily enlarged population of MTs. Included in this population is a new array of acetylated MTs arranged in a bundle of parallel MTs. This bundle is colchicine-stable, although no MT-associated proteins (MAPs) are detectable using a battery of anti-MAP antibodies. Observation of MT arrays with patterns that are intermediate between the early bundles and short neurites suggests that the acetylated MT bundle subsequently extends to form a neurite. MAP 2 is first detected at about the time of neurite extension. However, at this early stage of differentiation, MAP 2 is not yet limited to dendritic processes. This report provides the first evidence that the stable MTs of mature neurons may be initiated during neuronal commitment.

    Notes: The purpose of this review on spectrin is to examine the functional properties of this ubiquitous family of membrane skeletal proteins. Major topics include spectrin-membrane linkages, spectrin-filament linkages, the subcellular localization of spectrins in various cell types and a discussion of major functional differences between erythroid and nonerythroid spectrins. This includes a summary of studies from our own laboratories on the functional and structural comparison of avian spectrin isoforms which are comprised of a common alpha subunit and a tissue-specific beta subunit. Consequently, the observed differences among these spectrins can be assigned to differences in the properties of the beta subunits.

    Notes: The latrunculins are architecturally novel marine compounds isolated from the Red Sea sponge Latrunculia magnifica. In vivo, they alter cell shape, disrupt microfilament organization, and inhibit the microfilament-mediated processes of fertilization and early development. In vitro, latrunculin A was recently found to affect the polymerization of pure actin in a manner consistent with the formation of a 1:1 molar complex with G-actin. These in vitro effects as well as previous indications that the latrunculins are more potent than the cytochalasins suggest differences in the in vivo mode of action of the two clases of drugs. To elucidate these differences we have compared the short- and long-term effects of latrunculins on cell shape and actin organization to those of cytochalasin D. Exposure of hamster fibroblast NIL8 cells for 1-3 hr to latrunculin A, latrunculin B, and cytochalasin D causes concentration-dependent changes in cell shape and actin organization. However, the latrunculin-induced changes were strikingly different from those induced by cytochalasin D. Furthermore, while initial effects were manifest with both latrunculin A and cytochalasin D already at concentrations of about 0.03 μg/ml, latrunculin A caused complete rounding up of all cells at 0.2 μg/ml, whereas with cytochalasin D maximum contraction was reached at concentrations 10-20 times higher. The short-term effects of latrunculin B were similar to those of latrunculin A although latrunculin B was slightly less potent. All three drugs inhibited cytokinesis in synchronized cells, but their long-term effects were markedly different. NIL8 cells treated with latrunculin A maintained their altered state for extended periods. In contrast, the effects of cytochalasin D progressed with time in culture, and the latrunculin B-induced changes were transient in the continued presence of the drug. These transient effects were found to be due to a gradual inactivation of latrunculin B by serum and were used to compare recovery patterns of cell shape and actin organization in two different cell lines. This comparison showed that the transient effects of latrunculin B were fully reversible for the NIL8 cells and not for the mouse neuroblastoma N1E-115 cells.

    Notes: The outline of cells in sparse cultures consists prediminantly of concave and convex segments; straight segments are rare and ephemeral. The convex segments are areas of active cell expansion. The concave segments are stationary and web-shaped, similar in profile to the cables of a suspension bridge. In 3T3 fibroblasts, we have found a single microfilament bundle following the outline of every webbed edge and have called it the actin edge-bundle (AEB). While the AEB is composed predominantly of actin, α-actinin and myosin are also present. In contrast to normal stress fibers, AEBs are more resistant to several treatments that depolymerize F-actin. Once an AEB disassembles, however, the webbed edge collapses and retracts, suggesting that the actin edge-bundle is a specialized cytoskeletal structure that supports the webbed edges of interphase 3T3 fibroblasts. The stability of AEBs is independent of microtubules. We suggest that the microfilament bundles that frequently line the lateral contacts between epithelial cells in vivo may be related to the actin edge-bundle.

    Notes: Interference-reflection microscopy (IRM) is the only method presently available with which to visualize cell-substratum adhesions in living tissue culture cells continuously for long periods of time without the use of fluorescent markers (Curtis: J. Cell Biol. 20:199-215, 1964; Izzard and Lochner: J. Cell Sci. 21:129-159, 1976). This method utilizes approximately 1% of the incident illumination to produce the IRM image (Verschueren: J. Cell Sci. 75:279-301, 1985) and so far has required the use of high-intensity light sources in the visible spectral range (400-800 nm). Unfortunately, visible light of this intensity and spectral range induces marked changes in the behavior and morphology of motile fibroblasts, including cessation of locomotion. In contrast, the present paper reports that continuous observations of live cells in IRM for periods of up to 8 hours are possible if the illuminating light is in the red to near-infrared range (650-950 nm) and without any observable change in normal cell morphology or behavior. In addition, we describe how the technique of Y-contrast image processing can be applied to IRM images to create a three-dimensional image of the ventral cell surface topography.

    Notes: To study the in vivo role of myosin-II in Acanthamoeba castellanii, motile cells were microinjected with monoclonal antibodies raised against the myosin-II heavy chain. All injected cells underwent a transient shock response. It was found that although injection of buffer alone or of an endogenous Acanthamoeba protein decreased the motility of injected cells from 7 μm/min to ∼3 μm/min, injection of monoclonal antibodies specific for myosin-II decreased motility further to ∼0.8 μm/min. This effect was seen whether or not the monoclonal antibody to myosin-II inhibited the actomyosin-II MgATPase activity in vitro. Levels of antibody far in excess of endogenous myosin-II concentrations could not completely block amoeboid movement. The morphology of moving antimyosin-II-injected cells was unusual, suggesting a greater defect in the ability to retract the trailing edge of the cell rather than to extend the leading edge. Endosomes frequently disappeared from injected cells, and although buffer-injected cells rapidly recovered visible endosomes (50% recovery at 5 min), endosomes were not seen in antimyosin-II-injected cells until, on the average, ∼50 min after injection. Injection of a nonspecific antibody or of a nonspecific exogenous protein (ovalbumin) also decreased the mobility of the injected cells beyond that of buffer-injected cells (to ∼1 μm/min). These cells tended to recover endosomes more rapidly (∼25 min) than cells injected with antimyosin-II monoclonal antibodies. The inability of antibodies to myosin-II to inhibit completely any of the movements studied suggests that although myosin-II probably plays a role in these motilities, the cell either routinely uses or can draw upon another cytoplasmic motor to maintain locomotion, organelle movement, contractile vacuole activity, and endocytosis.

    Notes: Macrocilia of the ctenophore Beroë are activated to beat continuously in the normal direction by membrane-mediated Ca2+ influx (Tamm: Journal of Comparative Physiology [A] 163:23-31, 1988a). Using saponin or Brij-58 permeabilized models of macrocilia, we show that ATP-reactivation of beating requires μM levels of free Ca2+, Ba2+, or Sr2+. Isolated macrocilia beat initially in reactivation solution (RS) containing Ca2+, Ba2+, or Sr2+ and then undergo microtubule sliding disintegration without added proteases. Addition of protease inhibitors to RS + 10-5 M Ca2+ prevents sliding disruption. Pretreatment in wash solution (containing 1 mM EGTA) without protease inhibitors, followed by RS + 10-5 M Ca2+ with protease inhibitors results in extensive sliding disintegration. However, treatment in wash solution followed by RS + protease inhibitors does not induce sliding. Therefore, Ca2+ is not required for proteolysis by endogenous proteases, but is necessary for sliding disintegration.Local iontophoretic application of Ca2+, Ba2+, or Sr2+ to permeabilized macrocilia in RS lacking these cations triggers motility and/or sliding disintegration. Extrusion of microtubules occurs from the tip or the base, depending on whether or not the macrocilium remains attached to its large actin bundle. Thin sheets of microtubules telescope out initially, due to synchronized sliding of subsets of doublet microtubules from parallel rows of axonemes.Macrocilia are one of the first examples of ATP-induced microtubule sliding which retains Ca2+ sensitivity. In addition, the finding that Ba2+ and Sr2+ also trigger active sliding provides an additional method for investigating the control of dynein-powered microtubule movements.

    Notes: We studied the distribution of acetylated α-tubulin in the microtubules of spermatogenic cells from the crane fly Nephrotoma suturalis (Loew) using a mono-clonal antibody specific for acetylated α-tubulin (6-11B-1). We found that cells in all stages of spermatogenesis contained acetylated microtubules including primary spermatocytes, meiotic cells, spermatids, and sperm. A subset of the acety-lated microtubules (those in midbodies and flagella) were resistant to cold depolymerization. Newly polymerized microtubules in nondividing cells were not acetylated for up to 15 min. indicating that acetylation lagged behind polymerization. In spindles, newly polymerized microtubules were acetylated after 5 min. Antibodies to acetylated α-tubulin selectively stained chromosome-to-pole fibers in dividing cells, but the staining appeared to decrease and taper of at the kinetochores. This observation supports the hypothesis that tubulin subunits add at the kinetochore in metaphase and that acetylation occurs subsequent to addition. Further, this taper may be useful as a marker in anaphase, to distinguish between different hypotheses of chromosome motion.

    Notes: The three avian spectrins that have been characterized consist of a common α-subunit (240 kD) paired with an isoform-specific β-subunit from either erythrocyte (220 or 230 kD), brain (235 kD), or intestinal brush border (260 kD). Analysis of avian spectrins, with their naturally occurring “subunit replacement” has proved useful in assessing the relative contribution of each subunit to spectrin function. In this study we have completed a survey of avian spectrin binding properties and present morphometric analysis of the relative flexibility and linearity of various avian and human spectrin isoforms. Evidence is presented that, like its mammalian counterpart, avian brain spectrin binds human erythroid ankyrin with low affinity. Cosedimentation analysis demonstrates that (1) avian erythroid protein 4.1 stimulates spectrin-actin binding of both mammalian and avian erythrocyte and brain spectrins, but not the TW 260/240 isoform, (2) calpactin I does not potentiate actin binding of either TW 260/240 or brain spectrin, and (3) erythrocyte adducin does not stimulate the interaction of TW 260/240 with actin.In addition, a morphometric analysis of rotary-shadow images of spectrin isoforms, individual subunits, and reconstituted complexes from isolated subunits was performed. This analysis revealed that the overall flexibility and linearity of a given spectrin heterodimer and tetramer is largely determined by the intrinsic rigidity and linearity of its β-spectrin subunit. No additional rigidity appears to be imparted by noncovalent associations between the subunits. The scaled flexural rigidity of the most rigid spectrin analyzed (human brain) is similar to that reported for F-actin.

    Notes: The cytoskeleton of goldfish xanthophores contains an abundance of unique dense structures (400 nm in diameter) that are absent in goldfish nonpigment cells and are probably remnants of pterinosomes. No major difference in protein composition between xanthophores and nonpigment cells (without these structures) was found that could account for these structures. In xanthophores, these structures are foci of radiating filaments. The addition or withdrawal of ACTH causes a radical rearrangement of the xanthophore Cytoskeleton accompanying redistribution of carotenoid droplets, namely, the virtual exclusion of these dense bodies with associated filaments from the space occupied by the carotenoid droplet aggregate vs. a relatively even cytoplasmic distribution of these structures when the carotenoid droplets are dispersed. These changes in cytoskeletal morphology are not accompanied by any major changes in the protein or phosphoprotein composition of the cytoskeleton.

    Notes: The micronuclear spindle apparatus in Paramecium bursaria was studied by electron microscopy during prophase, metaphase, and anaphase of the first meiotic division. During prophase, the spindle apparatus consists mostly of intermediate-like filaments, relatively few spindle microtubules, and unique cone-shaped structures termed microlamellae. Microlamellae join the ends of chromosomes to the fibrous elements of the spindle. The capacity to preserve the intermediate-like filaments is largely dependent upon the use of collidine buffer during fixation. In contrast, during metaphase and anaphase, microtubules are the dominant fibrous element of the spindle. The microtubules interact with chromosomes during these phases by joining to true kinetochores. Neither treatment with cytochalasin B or fixation with a low concentration of osmium tetroxide affects the development of intermediate filaments during prophase. Because intermediate-like filaments are abundant during prophase and microtubules are more common during metaphase and anaphase, the structural differences may reflect differences in the mechanisms for chromosome movement.

    Notes: Triton-insoluble cytoskeleton of nonpigment cells has bound protein kinase that phosphorylates, with or without added cAMP, tubulins and the intermediate filament proteins p60, p56, p53, and p45a to give multiple charge variants. In the absence of 8-Br-cAMP, Triton-insoluble cytoskeletons from xanthophores also phosphorylate p60, p56, and p45a, but not p53; tubulin phosphorylation may also be reduced. In the presence of 8-Br-cAMP, p53, as well as several other peptides, are phosphorylated. One of these latter peptides was identified as the carotenoid droplet (pigment organelle) protein p57, whose phosphorylation and dephosphorylation precede pigment dispersion and aggregation respectively (Lynch et al.: J. Biol. Chem. 261:4204-4211, 1986). The amount of pp57 produced depends on the state of pigment distribution in the xanthophores used to prepare the cytoskeletons for labeling. With cytoskeletons from xanthophores with aggregated pigment, pp57 is a major labeled phosphoprotein seen in two-dimensional gels. With cytoskeletons prepared from xanthophores with dispersed pigment, the yield of labeled pp57 is greatly reduced (by at least 90%). Together with earlier results, we propose that, in the aggregated state, p57 serves to bind carotenoid droplets to the cytoskeletons, most likely the microtubules. The significance of other cAMP-dependent phosphorylation reactions is unknown but may be related to cAMP-induced cytoskeleton rearrangement in intact xanthophores.

    Notes: The vimentin intermediate filament (VIMF) network is more sensitive to heat-induced disruption than either the microtubule (MT) or microfilament (MF) cytoskeletal (CSK) arrays in G1 Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells (Coss and Wachsberger: Radiation Research, 1987). We therefore investigated the effect of the VIMF disruptive agent, acrylamide (Eckert: European Journal of Cell Biology 37:169-174, 1985), on the heat response of synchronous CHO cells. Cells, either in the process of spreading (G1 or S phase) or in the well-spread state (S phase), were exposed to a nontoxic concentration of 5 mM acrylamide, heated, and processed for immunofluorescence microscopy 30 min or 20 hr following the heat shock. Recovery from CSK disruption was related to cell survival.CHO cells, either in the process of spreading or in the well-spread state, were sensitized to heat-induced CSK disruption and cytotoxicity by acrylamide. Recovery from CSK disruption correlated with surviving fractions of cells treated in the G1 phase but not with surviving fractions of cells treated in the S phase and was independent of the degree of cell spreading. This correlation suggests that damage to CSK structures may contribute to the death of cells treated in G1 but not necessarily to the death of cells treated in S phase.The degree of acrylamide sensitization of heat-induced CSK disruption was greater for cells exposed to acrylamide prior to spreading than for well-spread cells. Furthermore, normal spreading of cells was prevented when they were plated into medium containing acrylamide, suggesting that acrylamide interferes with the initial stages of attachment and spreading of these cells. These observations are interpreted in relation to the possible role that VIMFs, together with cortical MFs, may play in mediating cell surface focal contacts in the initial stages of cell attachment and spreading.

    Notes: Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells maintained in organ culture on Bruch's membrane and the associated choroid spread and migrate into a linear wound along the exposed basal lamina. Changes in cell shape, in the organization of microfilaments, and in cell-cell and cell-substratum interactions during this time were examined by epifluorescence and transmission electron microscopy. In contrast to cuboidal stationary cells distant from the wound edge, which display well-developed apical circumferential microfilament bundles (CMBs) associated with zonulae adhaerentes junctions, the migrating RPE cells near the wound edge instead are flat, and, in addition to microfilament bundles near junctions between adjacent cells, display prominent stress fibers. Furthermore, monoclonal antibodies to vinculin labeled regions at the terminal ends of these stress fibers indicating that the RPE cells form focal contacts with the basal lamina at these sites. Electron microscopy of these regions of cell-substratum interaction confirmed the presence of microfilament bundles that terminate on the cell membrane. Folds present in the basal lamina near these sites suggest that tension is being generated by the microfilaments in the stress fibers as the migrating cells pull on the underlying basal lamina through these adhesion points.

    Notes: In cultured human keratinocytes (NHEK) maintained in medium containing low levels of Ca2+ (0.04 mM) desmoplakin is a component of certain electron-dense bodies in the cytoplasm. These bodies are associated with bundles of intermediate filaments. Upon elevation of the level of Ca2+ in the culture medium to 1.2 mM, desmoplakin first appears at sites of cell - cell contact in association with bundles of intermediate filaments. Subsequently, desmoplakin becomes incorporated into desmosomes in a manner comparable to that seen in mouse keratinocytes (Jones and Goldman: Journal of Cell Biology 101:506-517, 1985). NHEK cells maintained for 24 hr at Ca2+ concentrations between 0.04 mM and 0.18 mM were processed for immunofluorescence, immunoelectron, and conventional electron microscopical analysis. In NHEK cells grown at Ca2+ concentrations of 0.11 mM, desmoplakin appears to be localized in electron-dense bodies associated with intermediate filaments at sites of cell - cell contact in the absence of formed desmosomes. At a Ca2+ concentration of 0.13 mM desmoplakin is arrayed like beads on a “string” of intermediate filaments at areas of cell - cell association. At 0.15 mM, desmosome formation occurs, and desmoplakin is associated with the desmosomal plaque. In basal cell carcinoma cells desmoplakin is not restricted to desmosomes but also occurs in certain electron-dense bodies morphologically similar to those seen in NHEK maintained in low levels of Ca2+ and during early stages of desmosome assembly. We discuss the possibility of “cycling” of desmoplakin through these bodies in proliferative cells.

    Notes: Solvolysis of 2-X-2-phenylpropane (1-X) in 25 vol% acetonitrile in water at 25°C produces 2-hydroxy-2-phenylpropane (1-OH) and 2-phenylpropene (3). The carbocationic intermediate discriminates between different nucleophiles; azide anion, acetate anion, and methanol are more efficient nucleophiles than water, kN3/kH2O = 42 kOAc/kH2O = 3, and kMeOH/kH2O = 2·9 (ratio of second-order rate constants). The fraction of the elimination product 3 increases with increasing basicity of the leaving group X as well as by addition of general bases. The Brønsted parameter for this catalysis is small, β = 0·13, with substituted acetate anions. The kinetic deuterium isotope effect for the dehydronation of the intermediate has been measured (assuming the reaction from intermediate to alcohol is insensitive to isotopic substitution) employing the hexadeuterated substrate d6-1-X as k3H/k3d6 = 3·5 ± 0·2 for the chloride 1-Cl with acetate anion, and, without added base, 3·1 ± 0·2 for the acetate 1-OAc, and 3·1 ± 0·2 for the p-nitrobnzoate 1-PNB, respectively, and ∼5 for the protonated methyl ether 1-OMeH+. The variation in isotope effect with change in leaving group is discussed in terms of elimination from contact ion pairs and ‘free’ carbocation. The overall kinetic isotope effect for the solvolysis was found to be kobsH/kobsd6 = 1·31 (1-OMeH+), 1·38 (1-OAc), 1·40 (1-PNB), and 5·7 (1-OH2+). These isotope effects consist of the isotope effect k12H/k12d6 for the formation of the substitution product 1-OH and k13H/k13d6 for production of the olefin 3. It is concluded that the latter isotope effect is enlarged owing to a branched mechanism in which the deprotonation of the carbocationic intermediate competes with formation of the substitution product. As large an isotope effect as k13H/k13d6 ∼6·5 has been measured for 1-OMeH+.

    Notes: A large unilocular multilobate bronchogenic cyst was found in the right superior mediastinum of a 93-year-old female anatomic cadaver. By reason of its location, shape, and serous membrane (pleural) coverings, it appeared to have been formed from a sequestered azygos lobe which slowly acquired alternate sources of vascu-larization through adhesion to pericardial vessels and the arch of the azygos vein. It is postulated here that the relatively rudimentary organization of this cyst did not reflect a primitive stage of origin but was indicative of a plasticity in developing lung tissue that permitted a regression from a more advanced stage of morphogenesis when subjected to spatial restrictions; a process well demonstrated in a cited animal model. Thus, this case may illustrate that mediastinal bronchogenic cysts are not necessarily derivatives of the very early foregut components as previously proposed.

    Notes: To investigate sex differences in the morphology of the auricular surfaces of the human sacroiliac joint, 153 dried bone sets of unknown ages, and of Indian origin were studied, and various measurements were made of the corresponding iliac and sacral auricular surfaces. Some significant differences. The sacral and iliac auricular surfaces was larger and longer in males. The most prominent point on the ventral border of the iliac auricular surface was situated more caudally in females. The iliac angle was larger in males. The deepest point of the dorsal border of the iliac auricular surface was more caudal in females.

    Notes: The Latin term modiolus literally means “the nave of a wheel” and in dentistry refers to the point lateral to the angle of the mouth where several facial muscles converge. It has been described as coinciding with a muscular or tendinous node in the cheek and is considered to be important clinically. The facial muscles that insert in the vicinity of the mouth angle are the levator anguli oris, zygomaticus major, risorius, buccinator, and depressor anguli oris. The arrangement of these muscles in relation to the angle of the mouth was studied in 147 cadavers (279 sides) of the Mongoloid (Japanese) and Caucasian races. Considerable variation in the pattern of convergence was found. The variations were classified into three types as follows. Type A: location of the muscle convergence was lateral to the angle of the mouth. Type B: convergent area was located above the angle. Type C: convergent area was located below the angle. When the two races were considered together type C occurred most frequently (42.3%) followed closely by type B (41.2%). The arrangement described in textbooks (type A) occurred least frequently (16.5%). The frequency of appearance of convergent types according to race also is given. The gross observations do not support the existence of a nodular modiolus. In addition, the muscles that are supposed to contribute to the nodule usually do not converge lateral to the mouth angle but rather converge either above or below the angle.

    Notes: The clinical history is presented of a 46-year-old woman with a permanently distended left external jugular vein which passed anterior to the clavicle instead of entering the subclavian vein just superior to the clavicle in the usual manner. For cosmetic reasons the vein was excised. Embryologically, the vein passing anterior to the clavicle was a persistent jugulocephalic vein. This is a normal venous channel which usually disappears after an anastomosis develops between the cephalic vein and the subclavian vein, inferior to the clavicle.

    Notes: Noradrenergic and peptidergic innervations in naturally occurring and pheochromocytoma-associated human perirenal brown adipose tissue were demonstrated. The presence of both parenchymal and periarterial noradrenergic nerve plexuses was revealed by the sucrose-potassium-glyoxylic-acid (SPG) technique in all tissue samples. Immunohistochemical studies also indicated the presence of neuropeptide Y-like, calcitonin gene-related peptidelike, substance P-like, and bombesinlike immunoreactive nerves in the adventitia of both inter- and intralobular arteries. At a more peripheral level, only neuropeptide Y-like immunoreactive elements were observed in the parenchymal field. No somatostatinlike or enkephalinlike immunoreactivity was detected. The specific distributions of noradrenergic and peptidergic nerves were similar in both naturally occurring and pheochromocytoma-associated brown adipose tissue. Thus these findings indicate a plurality of innervation in human perirenal brown fat.

    Notes: The splenic tissue of the rat was autotransplanted into the greater omentum to investigate the angiogenic process during splenic regeneration. Chronological observations showed the following two stages. Initially surviving subcapsular sinus endothelial cells migrated to form a preliminary vascular network, which anastomosed with ingrowing omental capillaries to form a circulatory system. In this way, splenic autotransplants would not undergo necrosis and would rapidly form endothelial and reticular cells. At a later stage, the preliminary vascular network differentiated into arteries (arterioles, capillaries), splenic sinuses, and veins. Marked morphologic changes occurred in the endothelial cells, such as vacuole formation, fenestration, and the condensation of intraendothelial microfilaments, resulting in interendothelial slits. These results showed that the formation of a preliminary vascular network caused distinct splenic regeneration and that splenic autotransplantation is a suitable model to study angiogenesis in vivo.

    Notes: Many drugs contain a chiral centre, or such a centre is introduced during metabolism of the drug in man and in animals. If a single chiral centre is present, the drug will normally exist as a mixture of two enantiomers, of which one may have quite different pharmacologic and/or toxic effects than the other. Chiral drugs that are used in psychiatry, and some other pharmacologically related drugs are identified, and the implications of the presence of one or two chiral centres in these drugs are discussed. Differences in pharmacologic properties of drug and metabolite enantiomers are identified and discussed. Also reviewed are the properties of some drugs used in psychiatry that both are chiral and display geometric isomerism.

    Notes: The pharmacokinetics of (S)-propranolol were compared after the oral administration of a 40 mg dose of the pure enantiomer and an 80 mg dose of a racemic mixture of (R,S)-propranolol. The results of this study indicate that the bioavailability of (S)-propranolol, as expressed by the mean area uner the concentration-time curve (AUC) and maximum serum concentration, is lower after 40mg of the optically pure drug than after the racemic drug.

    Notes: Only limited information is available on the stereochemistry of the in vivo distribution of β-receptor-blocking drugs. In this study we determined the levels of the propranolol enantiomers in plasma, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and central nervous system (CNS), and peripheral tissues in the dog following an intravenous dose of a deuterium-labeled pseudoracemate. The appearance of the propranolol enantiomers in the CSF was rapid and nonstereoselective, with maximum concentrations reached at 15 min after dosing. The levels of the enantiomers in both CSF and plasma then declined in a parallel biphasic fashion, with a terminal t1/2 of about 125 min. Except for an early high CSF/plasma concentration ratio of 0.35, the CSF propranolol levels corresponded to the unbound concentration in plasma, CSF/plasma 0.20. All areas of the brain showed a similar uptake of propranolol, with a tissue concentration exceeding that in plasma about 10-fold during the terminal phase of elimination. The uptake of propranolol by peripheral tissues varied widely, ranging from a 50-fold accumulation by the lungs compared to plasma to no accumulation by adipose tissue. However, as for the CSF, there was no evidence of stereoselective uptake of propranolol by any CNS or peripheral tissue except for the liver. A significantly higher level of (+)- vs. (-)-propranolol in liver tissue presumably was a reflection of stereoselective hepatic metabolism of (-)-propranolol by this tissue. The slight stereoselectivity in plasma binding of propranolol known to exist in the dog had no significant influence on tissue or CSF distribution.

    Notes: A method for the determination of (R)- and (S)-atenolol in human plasma and urine is described. The enantiomers of atenolol are extracted into dichloromethane containing 3% heptafluorobutanol followed by acetylation with acetic anhydride at 60°C for 2 h. The acetylated enantiomers were separated on a chiral α1-AGP column. Quantitation was performed using fluorescence detection. A phosphate buffer pH 7.1 (0.01 M phosphate) containing 0.25% (v/v) acetonitrile was used as mobile phase. The described procedure allows the detection of less than 6 ng of each enantiomer in 1 ml plasma. The relative standard deviation is 4.4% at 30 ng/ml of each enantiomer in plasma. The plasma concentration of (R)- and (S)- atenolol did not differ significantly in two subjects who received a single tablet of racemic atenolol. The R/S ratio of atenolol in urine was ∼ 1.

The method has been applied to the analysis of drug substance in rat plasma. This highly efficient extraction method and the use of fluorimetric detection result in selective and sensitive determination of the enantiomers. The analytical validation parameters demonstrate the applicability of this method to pharmacokinetic and metabolic studies.

    Notes: Chiroptical detection for HPLC is particularly useful as a selective detection method for chiral molecules, and in enantiomeric purity determination with partial chiral separation or without chiral separation. The recent development of laser-based polarimeters with microdegree sensitivity has increased the applicability of optical rotation detection in HPLC. The detection limit of these instruments is submicrogram on-column for many chiral compounds in analytical HPLC. A variety of applications of the selective detection of optically active molecules are reviewed. The use of polarimetric detection with partial chiral separation is considered, both as an aid to method development and for enantiomeric purity determination. Finally applications to enantiomeric purity determination without chiral separation are reviewed, with the dual use of nonchirally selective and chiroptical detectors to determine the total amount and optical purity of the analyte. Determinations of chiral purity for samples of high enantiomeric excess are described, which with laser-based instrumentation may give accuracies of better than ± 1% with sample loadings of 50 μg on an achiral column. Applications to the study of enantioselective reactions are also considered, with determination of enantiomeric excess in near-racemates to better than ± 0.1%.

    Notes: 2,3-Benzodiazepines containing a centre of asymmetry at C-5 possess both central and helical chiralities, and the solution of their racemates contains four molecular species. The binding of these compounds to human serum albumin (HSA) was studied by affinity chromatography. The binding strength depended both on the steric orientation of the 5-ethyl substituent and on the conformation of the diazepine ring. Conformation P (defined by the positive sign of C-1-N-2-N-3-C-4 torsion angle) is favoured, while the quasiaxial orientation -of the 5-ethyl substituent is not favoured by the albumin molecule.

    Notes: An enantioselective gas chromatographic method has been developed and validated for the determination of the plasma concentration of the enantiomers of the anticancer drug ifosfamide (IFF). In this approach, the IFF enantiomers are separated from the plasma matrix by solid phase extraction, chromatographically resolved by gas chromatography on a chiral stationary phase, and detected by mass selective detection using selective ion monitoring. The assay has been validated for routine clinical and pharmacokinetic use and has a limit of detection in plasma of 250 ng/ml of each isomer.

    Notes: Optical enrichment from racemic dansyl-leucine, dansyl-norleucine, and dansyl-phenylalanine with both β- and γ-cyclodextrins in water is reported. Initial crystallization yielded the dansyl-L-leucine isomer complexed in excess with β-cyclodextrin with an optical purity of 62-78% depending on experimental conditions. The optical purities obtained for L-norleucine and L-phenylalanine were 71 and 64%, respectively. The optical purity can be increased with continued recrystallization. The dansyl-D-leucine isomer was obtained in the mother liquor with an optical purity of 54-93% depending on experimental conditions. The optical purities obtained for D-norleucine and D-phenylalanine were 72 and 58%. The optical purity of the isomer depended on the molar ratio of host:guest and the pH value of the solution. Optimum enrichment of both enantiomers was achieved with host:guest ratios of 2 : 1 and 3 : 1. Although maximum crystalline yield of the dansyl-leucine/CD inclusion complex was obtained at a pH of 3.5, optical purity of both enantiomers was less than that obtained at other pHs. The influence of the molar ratio of host:guest and the pH value of the solution are discussed. This method is suitable for large-scale enantiomeric separations.

    Notes: The direct enantiomeric resolution of albendazole sulfoxide (SOABZ), an anthelmintic drug belonging to the benzimidazole class, is reported on a chiral stationary phase (CSP) synthesized by covalent binding of (S)-N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)tyrosine-O-(2-propen-1-yl) methyl ester on a γ-mercaptopropylsilanized silica gel. A comparison with the resolution achieved on commercially available Pirkle-type CSPs obtained from N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl) derivatives of (R)-phenyglycine or (S)-phenylalanine is described. Some structurally related chiral sulfoxides including oxfendazole (SOFBZ) are also studied. Optimization of the mobile phase nature and composition is investigated showing that a hexane-dioxane-ethanol ternary mixture affords an almost baseline resolution (Rs = 1.25); however, in this case, albendazole sulfone (SO2ABZ) is eluted between the two sulfoxide enantiomers; accordingly, a hexane-ethanol mobile phase would be preferred for biological samples containing both metabolites. The influence of temperature on the resolution is depicted with a hexane-ethanol mobile phase. Finally, application to the enantiomeric assays of SOABZ in plasmatic extracts of rat, sheep, bovin, and man after oral administration of albendazole (sulfoxidized to SOABZ and SO2ABZ) is reported. Some distortions in the enantiomeric ratios are evidenced depending on the species.

    Notes: The purpose of this work was to develop and validate a method for the separation and determination of the enantiomers of terbutaline in plasma and intestinal juice. Terbutaline was extracted from plasma and intestinal juice by liquid-solid extraction on small C18 cartridges. The extract was then analyzed by coupled column liquid chromatography with amperometric detecton. For ciral separation a β-cyclodextrin phase was used.The within-day variation (Cv) on spiked plasma samples was in the rane 0.8-6.4% at 3.8-33.8 nmol/liter for the (-)-enantiomer, and 2.6-23.0% at 1.3-11.3 nmol/liter for the (+)-enantiomer. The between-day variation on spiked plasma samples was 5.5% at 10.7 nmol/liter and 13.6% at 4.3 nmol/liter for the (-)- and (+)-enantiomers, respectively. The within-day variation for inestinal juice was i the range 0.7-1.5% at 5.6-30.0 μmol/liter for the (+)-enantiomer.

    Notes: A general criterion is formulated for molecular recognition. The criterion for recognition is the ineqality of the distance matrices of complexes of different compounds with a resolving agent under ambient experimental conditions. It is shown how this criterion provides for an objective, cell-defined, and simple explanation for recognition of chiral compounds. This approach may be used to explain models (e.g., three-point of attachment1) and relationships for chiral recognition. It is also shown how one-, two-, or three-point mechanisms are equivalent in this formalism and could result in chiral recognition. Examples are used to illustrate how the so called one- or two-point mechanisms may be operative in many experimental findings. Symmetry rreqirements of resolving agents may also be derived from considerations of distance matrices. Finally, the reciprocal relationship of chiral resolving agents is easily derived from the present method of analysis.

    Notes: A chiral statonary phase (CSP) derived from an N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-α-aminobenzylphosphonate has been prepared and evaluated for its utility in the direct separation of enantiomers. This CSP, 2, is structurally related to earlier N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-α-acids acid-derived phases (e.g., CSP 1), but the mode of attachment to the support is different. In scope; CSP 2 is qualitaively similar to CSP 1. However, it differs quantitatively from CSP 1, showing either greater or lesser selectivity for different pairs of enantiomers.

    Notes: Chromatographic applications of three novel chiral stationary phases (CSPs) deriving from (S)-(N)-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)tyrosine are reported, under liquid chromatographic (LC) and subscritical fluid chromatographic (SubFC) conditions. Two grafting modes of the chiral moiety have been experimented starting either from γ-mercaptopropyl-silanized (type 1) or γ-aminopropyl-silanized (type 2) silica gels. For type 2 CSPs an evaluation of the stability of the amide linkage was achieved by means of SubFC; the relative contriution of ionic and covalent bindings to the ciral recognitio aility was then outlined. The chromatographic properties of these CSPs were compared with those of the corresponding CSPs deriving from phenylglycine, p-hydroxyphenylglycine, and phenylalanine for the resolution of some tertiary phosphine oxide, naphthoyl amide, and α-methylene γ-lactam enantiomers. Some simple requirements regarding the solute and CSP structures for chiral recognition ability can be inferred from these results. In addition, the resolutio of π-acid α-N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)amino esters was investigated on these π-acid CSPs. An example of preparative scale chromatography is also presented.

    Notes: X-ray analysis of the crystalline product obtained by reaction of 2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-acetyl-D-glycopyranose with phenylethylamine revealed the formation of a real one-to-one inclusion complex. This complexaion is highly stereoselective, because only the (+)-R-enantiomeric form of the amine is included. Analogies to the mode of complexation of cellulose triaceate with chiral molecules in „inclusion chromatography“ are discussed.

    Notes: Epinephrine enantiomers were derived into diastereoisomers with the chiral reagent 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosylisothiocyanate. The resolutions was carried out on a C18 column. The RS between (-)-R- and (+)-S-isomers was 2.3. The retention time could be changed by adding a proper amount of acetonirile into the mobile phase. The results showed that (+)-S-isomer in the epinephrine hydrochloride injections increased during the period of storage.

    Notes: Pasteur's conjecture (1860) that biomolecular homochirality arose from a chiral natural force as yet inaccessible in the laboratory was supplanted by Fischer's (1894) “key and lock” hypothesis of stereoselection in enantiomer to diastereomer conversions, whether in the laboratory or in living organisms. Elaborations of the “key and lock” hypothesis by Haldane (1930) and Pauling (1948) have been illustrated and supported with modification by X-ray diffraction crystal structures of enzyme-substrate complexes over the past quarter century.Two types of mechanism for the product diastereoselectivity in the reactions of an enantiomer with an achiral reagent, early proposed, have recent support: one proposes a quasidiastereomeric structure for the enantiomer attacked in the ground state, the other for the corresponding transition state of the reaction. Approaches to the differential biological activity of two enantiomers postulate either the complete binding of each isomer to a chiral receptor site, resulting in diastereomeric complexes with inequivalent bioactivities, or the differential binding of the two isomers to a set of three sites, with which only one isomer is sterically congruent.Biochemical homochirality, based on the chiral stereoselectivity of both biosynthetic and metabolic reactions, derives from the evolutionary pressure for a progressive enhancement of the kinetic efficiency and economy of those reactions. Recently Pasteur has been vindicated in part, and the problem of the original prebiotic enantiomeric excess left outstanding by Fischer has been solved. The unification of the electromagnetic with the weak interaction provided a universal chiral natural force, the electroweak interaction, which favours the chiral series selected during the course of biochemical evolution, both the D-sugars and the L-amino acids.

Resolution of enantiomers was confirmed by ultraviolet-visible absorption and circular dichroism spectral analyses. Resolved enantiomers of BP diol-epoxides were each hydrolyzed in acidic solution to a pair of diastereomeric tetrols which were separated by reversed-phase HPLC. Absolute stereochemistries of enantiomeric diol-epoxides were deduced by the absolute configuration of their hydrolysis products.

    Notes: The crystal structure and absolute configuration of the (-)589-dibenzoylmonohydrogentartrate salt of the cation [Co(pyridine)4Cl2]+ have been determined from a three-dimensional X-ray analysis. Single crystals were grown from dimethylsulfoxide: space group P212121, Z = 4, and cell dimensions a = 21.463(4), b = 23.112(3), and c = 7.490(1) Å. Full-matrix least-squares refinement on F converged at R = 0.075, 196 variables and 2029 observations. The cation has pseudotetragonal coordinate geometry, with axial Cl and equatorial N atoms. The dihedral angles between the pyridine ligands and the equatorial plane are 47(1), 39(1), 50(1), and 45(1)° and torsional isomerism is responsible for the solid-state chiroptical properties of the cation. The preferential crystallization of the P atropisomer of the cation is attributed to a general electrostatic attraction between cation and anion.

    Notes: The synthesis and analytical testing of two new fluorescent chiral derivatizing agents (-)-(S)-flunoxaprofen and (-)-(S)-naproxen isocyanate, is described. In a few simple steps the free carboxylic acids [(S)-flunoxaprofen and (S)-naproxen] are activated with ethyl chloroformate/sodium azide and transformed to the corresponding isocyanates. The crystalline reaction products display high enantiomeric and chemical purity and stability. The direction of the optical rotation of both substances is inverse to that of the corresponding carboxylic acids. At ambient temperature the reagents swiftly react with primary and secondary amines, yielding highly fluorescent ureas. The applicability of the two reagents for the resolution of racemic amines was tested with a number of pharmaceuticals (antiarrhythmics, β-adrenergic antagonists, calcium channel blockers, centrally acting antidepressants). The diastereoisomeric derivatives were efficiently resolved and separated from side-products by means of normal and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The use and sufficient sensitivity of the two reagents for pharmacokinetic studies were demonstrated with a determination of plasma levels of propranolol enantiomers after oral administration of the racemic drug [80 mg (R,S)-propranolol-HCl] to two volunteers.

    Notes: Direct optical resolution of antiinflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, ketoprofen, flurbiprofen, and tiaprofenic acid were attempted by high-performance liquid chromatography using tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate)s of cellulose and amylose as chiral stationary phases. Although ibuprofen was not sufficiently resolved, the other three 2-arylpropionic acids were completely resolved by amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate). Ibuprofen was resolved as anilide derivative.

    Notes: The stereoselectivity of carvedilol, a novel β-adrenoceptor antagonist and vasodilator with one asymmetric carbon atom, was examined at α1- and β1-adrenoceptors in vitro and in vivo. (-)-(S)-Carvedilol is a potent, competitive antagonist of the β1-adrenoceptor-mediated positive chronotropic response to isoproterenol in guinea pig atrium, with a dissociation constant (KB) of 0.4 nM. (+)-(R)-Carvedilol was more than 100-fold less potent than the (-)-S-enantiomer as an antagonist of β;1-andrenoceptors, having a KB of approximately 45 nM. Consistent with these findings (-)-(S)-carvedilol (0.1 mg/kg, i.v.) produced a 25-fold rightward shift in the β1-adrenoceptor-mediated positive chronotropic response to isoproterenol in pithed rats, whereas the (+)-R-enantiomer had no β1-adrenoceptor blocking activity in vivo at this dose. In contrast to the marked degree of stereoselectivity observed at βl1-adrenoceptors, both (-)-(S)- and (+)-(R)-carvedilol produced equal antagonism of the α1----adrenoceptor-mediated vasoconstrictor response to norepinephrine in rabbit aorta, with KB values of 14 and 16 nM, respectively. Furthermore, in the pithed rat, the α1-adrenoceptor-mediated pressor dose-response curve to cirazoline was shifted approximately 6-fold to the right by both the (+)-R- and (-)-S-enantiomers of carvedilol at a dose of 1 mg/kg, i.v. In anesthetized spontaneously hypertensive rats, (-)-(S)-carvedilol was 6-fold more potent as an antihypertensive than (+)-(R)-carvedilol. The vasodilator and acute antihypertensive activity of carvedilol results from α1-andrenoceptor blockade produced by both enantiomers, and the concomitant β1-adrenoceptor blockade produced by the (-)-S-enantiomer, which prevents reflex tachycardia that can offset the antihypertensive response, leading to greater overall antihypertensive potency of (-)-(S)-carvedilol relative to the (+)-R-enantiomer. These data also suggest that distinct regions of the carvedilol molecule are responsible for blocking α1- and β1-adrenoceptors, with β1-adrenoceptor blockade resulting from an area of the molecule containing the asymmetric carbon atom, specifically the carbazolyloxy propanolamine moiety, and α1-adrenoceptor blockade resulting from a part of the molecule that does not contain the asymmetric carbon atom, most likely the phenoxyethylamine moiety.

    Notes: The optic strut, the term used by radiologists and neurosurgeons, or the posterior root of the sphenoid bone, as described in anatomy texts, receives only passing notice of its existence. Yet an increasing number of operations involving the anterior portion of the cavernous sinus and the posterior orbit involve an approach via the optic strut. For these reasons the dimensions and shapes of this small structure deserve detailed consideration.

    Notes: This paper reviews the structure, function, and clinical significance of peritoneal mesothelium, once thought to be a passive membrane, but now known to play an active role in exchanges between the peritoneal cavity and the blood. The advent of continuous ambulatory peritoneal analysis (CAPD) has revived interest in the peritoneum, whose ultrastructure is much changed by CAPD.Studies of the healing of mesothelium have shown that the new mesothelium develops from subperitoneal perivascular connective tissue cells, and not by a process of centripetal growth from the wound margins as in the healing of other epithelial surfaces.Peritoneal mesothelial cells possess fibrinolytic properties, which may be important in preventing fibrinous adhesions from being converted to permanent fibrous adhesions, which may cause intestinal obstruction. Mesothelium also produces prostacyclin. These properties have led to the use of mesothelium as a substitute for endothelium, both for coating prosthetic vascular grafts, and also in peritoneal tube grafts for replacing segments of vein. The resurgence of interest in the peritoneal mesothelium provides a stimulus for clinician and anatomist to cooperate in further exploration of its clinical potential.

    Notes: Most areas of the body demonstrate variations in vascular pattern with regard to origin, course, and distribution. Vascular damage is especially likely if an unexpected vascular pattern occurs in a common surgical site. The supra-clavicular region is one such site: the many types of operative procedures performed here provide ample opportunity for inadvertent discovery of such variations. Standard textbook descriptions of the subclavian artery and its proximal branches and their relationships are usually sufficient to inform the surgeon of the predominate patterns, but leave him ill-prepared for encounters with less common varieties. Previous studies, some extensive, have detailed many of these variations, but emphasis has been placed on the vascular configurations themselves, rather than on their clinical significance. The present study first reviews the common patterns and then outlines several heretofore undescribed variations in the thyrocervical trunk-transverse cervical artery complex encountered in 74 unilateral and 38 bilateral neck-shoulder specimens. Specific reference is made regarding their discovery during surgical procedures.

    Notes: After alkylation of a fraction of the total α-adrenoreceptors by phenoxybenzamine in rat vas deferens, the dissociation constants of (-)- and (+)-epinephrine in functional studies were 7 × 10-7 M and 2 × 10-5 M, respectively. In the adrenoreceptor-containing tissue fraction, when 3H-labeled WB4101 was used as the interacting ligand, for each enantiomer who affinity sites were found. Only the low-affinity dissociation consant for each isomer correlates with the constant obtained from the functional studies. If the change in Gibb's free energy. ΔG°, is calculated from the low-affinity binding constants, the values -8.1 and -6.2 kcal/mol for (-)- and (+)-isomer, respectively, are obained. The small difference in the value between isomers forms a hydrogen bond with the receptor. The interaction of epinephrine with this receptor appears to be driven largely by the entropy of the drug-receptor interaction with only a small nonsteroselective contribution from the enthalpy of ineraction.

    Notes: The stereochemical separation of free and derivatized amino acids on active α-chymotrypsin bonded to silica is governed by two mechanisms based on the structure of the solutes or on the enzymatic activity of the enzyme. Te deactivation of the hydrolytically active site of the enzyme demonstrated that a significant portion of the retention on this support is due to hydrophobic interactions at other sites. These sites appear to be stereoselective for the ester derivatives of amino acids but not for the other studied solutes.

    Notes: A moleclar imprinting technique based on electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interactions was used to prepare polymers of high selectvity for the original print molecule (D or L form of an amino acid derivative). In the chromatographic mode ig enantioselectivity was observed, in particular for amino acid amides and basic amino acid esters. As indicated y he broad peaks obtained, the mass transfer, including the kinetics of the binding and dissociation process, was slow and appeared to be slower in systems where a higher number of interactions between the solute and the stationary phase could be expected. In such systems enhanced selectivity was observed. For polymers prepared at a lower temperature the mass transfer was more rapid and a higher selectivity was observed, wich allowed the separations to be performed at room temperature. A more rapid mass transfer and a higher selectivity could also be achieved by increasing the column temperature. Furthermore the polymers showed a high sample load capacity and a high stability, and the can easily be prepared.

    Notes: The (+)- and (-)-enantiomers of benproperinium dihydrogen phosphate, an antitussive drug, have been assigned the R- and S-configurations, respectively, by syntheses of both enantiomers using (S)-2-hydroxypropanoic acid (L-lactic acid) as chiral synthon. The key intermediate, (S)-2-metyl-2-[-2-(phenylmethyl)phenoxy]ethyl p-toluenesulfonate, was subjected to an SN2-type reaction with piperidine furnishing (+)-(R)-benproperinium dihydrogen phosphate. (-)-(S)-Benproperinium dihydrogen phosphate was obtained by submitting the same tosylate to two consecutive SN2-type reactions with Br- and piperidine, respectively, acting as nucleophiles.
