木犀草素-锡(Ⅱ)配合物的合成、表征及抗氧化活性研究

木犀草素与金属离子有较强的配位能力,形成配合物后,活性会发生变化,因此研究了木犀草素与锡(Ⅱ)配合物的合成及其抗氧化活性。采用紫外可见分光光度法、红外光谱法和核磁共振氢谱法对配合物的结构进行表征,并通过DPPH自由基法和邻二氮菲-Fe2+法分别测定了木犀草素-锡(Ⅱ)配合物对DPPH自由基和羟基自由基(.OH)的清除作用。结果表明,木犀草素与锡(Ⅱ)发生配位的位点在5-OH～4-C=O位和3’,4’-OH位,木犀草素-锡(Ⅱ)配合物具备一定的清除DPPH自由基和.OH自由基的性能,但是由于二价锡离子与木犀草素分子中的活性位点(酚羟基)发生了配位络合,所以清除上述自由基的性能较木犀草素均有所降低。

Conformational preferences of modified nucleoside N(2)-methylguanosine (m(2)G) and its derivative N(2), N(2)-dimethylguanosine (m(2)(2)G) occur at 26th position (hinge region) in tRNA

Conformational preferences of the modified nucleosides N²-methylguanosine (m²G) and N², N²-dimethylguanosine (m₂²G) have been studied theoretically by using quantum chemical perturbative configuration interaction with localized orbitals (PCILO) method. Automated complete geometry optimization using semiempirical quantum chemical RM1, along with ab initio molecular orbital Hartree–Fock (HF-SCF), and density functional theory (DFT) calculations has also been made to compare the salient features. Single-point energy calculation studies have been made on various models of m²G26:C/A/U44 and m₂²G26:C/A/U44. The glycosyl torsion angle prefers “syn” (χ = 286°) conformation for m²G and m₂²G molecules. These conformations are stabilized by N(3)–HC2′ and N(3)–HC3′ by replacing weak interaction between O5′–HC(8). The N²-methyl substituent of (m²G26) prefers “proximal” or s-trans conformation. It may also prefer “distal” or s-cis conformation that allows base pairing with A/U44 instead of C at the hinge region. Thus, N²-methyl group of m²G may have energetically two stable s-trans m²G:C/A/U or s-cis m²G:A/U rotamers. This could be because of free rotations around C–N bond. Similarly, N², N²-dimethyl substituent of (m₂²G) prefers “distal” conformation that may allow base pairing with A/U instead of C at 44th position. Such orientations of m²G and m₂²G could play an important role in base-stacking interactions at the hinge region of tRNA during protein biosynthesis process.     

H(2)O(2)-induced O(2) production by a non-phagocytic NAD(P)H oxidase causes oxidant injury

Non-phagocytic NAD(P)H oxidases have been implicated as major sources of reactive oxygen species in blood vessels. These oxidases can be activated by cytokines, thereby generating O(2), which is subsequently converted to H(2)O(2) and other oxidant species. The oxidants, in turn, act as important second messengers in cell signaling cascades. We hypothesized that reactive oxygen species, themselves, can activate the non-phagocytic NAD(P)H oxidases in vascular cells to induce oxidant production and, consequently, cellular injury. The current report demonstrates that exogenous exposure of non-phagocytic cell types of vascular origin (smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts) to H(2)O(2) activates these cell types to produce O(2) via an NAD(P)H oxidase. The ensuing endogenous production of O(2) contributes significantly to vascular cell injury following exposure to H(2)O(2). These results suggest the existence of a feed-forward mechanism, whereby reactive oxygen species such as H(2)O(2) can activate NAD(P)H oxidases in non-phagocytic cells to produce additional oxidant species, thereby amplifying the vascular injury process. Moreover, these findings implicate the non-phagocytic NAD(P)H oxidase as a novel therapeutic target for the amelioration of the biological effects of chronic oxidant stress.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of cadmium(II) complexes with 2-(2-pyridyl)imino-N-(2-thiazolin-2-yl)thiazolidine (PyTT)

We have carried out the synthesis of the cadmium coordination compounds [Cd(NO₃)₂(PyTT)(H₂O)] (1) and [CdCl₂{(μ-Cl)₂CdCl(μ-Cl)(μ-PyTT)Cd}₂]_n (2), together with their structural determination by means of X-ray diffraction. The compounds were also characterized through elemental analysis and infrared spectroscopy. The first complex presents a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal geometry with the axial positions occupied by one oxygen atom from a water molecule and a second one from a nitrate ion which acts as a monodentate ligand, whereas the equatorial plane contains three nitrogen atoms from the organic moiety and two oxygen atoms coming from the other nitrate group, which is bidentate. The structure of the second complex consists of parallel sheets linked by van der Waals forces, each one made up of structural units [CdCl₂{(μ-Cl)₂CdCl(μ-Cl)(μ-PyTT)Cd}₂], which possesses two PyTT ligands, 10 bridging chloro ligands and 5 cadmium(II) centres belonging to three environment types: octahedral CdN₂Cl₄, octahedral CdCl₆, on which a centre of symmetry is located, and tetrahedral CdNCl₃, present in a 2:1:2 ratio.     

Stereospecific formation of alpha-hydroxycarboxylato oxo peroxo complexes of vanadium(V). Crystal structure of (NBu4)2[V2O2(O2)2(L-lact)2] x 2H2O and (NBu4)2[V2O2(O2)2(D-lact)(L-lact)] x 2H2O

An overview of structurally characterized alpha-hydroxycarboxylatodioxo- and alpha-hydroxycarboxylatooxoperoxovanadates(V) is presented and the geometric parameters of the V2O2 bridging core are discussed. The first case of a stereospecific formation of oxoperoxovanadates(V) is reported: The crystal structures of the isomeric compounds (NBu4)2[V2O2(O2)2(L-lact)2] x 2H2O and (NBu4)2[V2O2(O2)2(D-lact)(L-lact)] x 2H2O (lact = C3H4O3(2-), the anion of the lactic acid) differ mainly in the arrangement of the V2O2 core and in mutual orientation of the V=O bonds. The complexes with achiral ligands adopt the same structural type as the complexes formed from a racemic mixture of a chiral ligand, while the structure obtained using an enantiopure L,L-hydroxycarboxylate is different.     

Partikelgestalt des Spargel-Virus 2 (asparagus virus 2) (Kurze Mitteilung)

Zwei Kernpolyedervirus‐Isolate der Kohleule aus Deutschland (MbKPV‐D) und Moldawien (MbKPV‐Ki) wurden im Biotest geprüft und der Genotyp mit Hilfe der Restriktionsenzym‐Fragmentanalyse (REN) untersucht.

Geringe Unterschiede wurden in den Profilen der Eco RI‐ und Hind III‐ Schnitte gefunden. Die erhaltenen REN‐Profile stimmen im wesentlichen mit den für ein niederländisches MbKPV‐Isolate beschriebenen Bandenmustern überein.     

Compartment-dependent management of H(2)O(2) by peroxisomes

Peroxisomes (PO) are essential and ubiquitous single-membrane-bound organelles whose ultrastructure is characterized by a matrix and often a crystalloid core. A unique feature is their capacity to generate and degrade H(2)O(2) via several oxidases and catalase, respectively. Handling of H(2)O(2) within PO is poorly understood and, in contrast to mitochondria, they are not regarded as a default H(2)O(2) source. Using an ultrasensitive luminometric H(2)O(2) assay, we show in real time that H(2)O(2) handling by matrix-localized catalase depends on the localization of H(2)O(2) generation in- and outside the PO. Thus, intact PO are inefficient at degrading external but also internal H(2)O(2) that is generated by the core-localized urate oxidase (UOX). Our findings suggest that, in addition to the PO membrane, the matrix forms a significant diffusion barrier for H(2)O(2). In contrast, matrix-generated H(2)O(2) is efficiently degraded. We further show that the tubular structures in crystalloid cores of UOX are associated with and perpendicularly oriented toward the PO membrane. Studies on metabolically active liver slices demonstrate that UOX directly releases H(2)O(2) into the cytoplasm, with the 5-nm primary tubules in crystalloid cores serving as exhaust conduits. Apparently, PO are inefficient detoxifiers of external H(2)O(2) but rather can become an obligatory source of H(2)O(2)--an important signaling molecule and a potential toxin.     

Synthesis,spectral and magnetical characterization of monomeric [Cu(2-NO2bz)2(3-pyme)2(H2O)2] and polymeric [Cu{3,5-(NO2)2bz}2(3-pyme)2]n

Two new complexes of composition [Cu(2-NO₂bz)₂(3-pyme)₂(H₂O)₂] (1) and/or [Cu{3,5-(NO₂)₂bz}₂(3-pyme)₂] (2) (3-pyme = 3-pyridylmethanol, ronicol or 3-pyridylcarbinol, 2-NO₂bz = 2-nitrobenzoate and 3,5-(NO₂)₂bz = 3,5-dinitrobenzoate) have been prepared and studied by elemental analysis, electronic, infrared and EPR spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility measurements and the structure of both complexes has been solved. Complex (1) shows an unusual molecular type of structure consisting of the [Cu(2-NO₂bz)₂(3-pyme)₂(H₂O)₂] molecules held together by hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions. Complex (2) exhibits a polymeric chain-like structure [Cu{3,5-(NO₂)₂bz}₂(3-pyme)₂]_n with copper atoms doubly bridged by two 3-pyridylmethanol molecules and the polymeric molecules are held together by van der Waals interactions. Complex (1) exhibits a magnetic moment μ_eff = 1.84 B.M. at 300 K that remains nearly constant within the temperature region (5–300 K). Further cooling results in lowering the magnetic moment to μ_eff = 1.82 B.M. at 1.8 K. The magnetic susceptibility temperature dependence obeys Curie–Weiss law with Curie constant of 0.423 cm³ K mol⁻¹ and with Weiss constant of −0.06 K. The magnetic moment of (2) exhibits a small increase with a decrease in the temperature (μ_eff = 1.80 B.M. at 300 K and μ_eff = 1.85 B.M. at 1.8 K) with Curie constant of 0.409 cm³ K mol⁻¹ and with Weiss constant of +1.1 K, which can indicate a very weak ferromagnetic interaction between the copper atoms within the chain. Applying the molecular field model resulted in obtaining zJ′ values −0.08 cm⁻¹ for complex (1), and −0.07 cm⁻¹ for complex (2), respectively, that could characterize intermolecular and interchain interactions transmitted through π–π stacking.     

Molecular-Mechanical studies of the mismatched base analogs of d(CGCGAATTCGCG)2:d(CGTGAATTCGCG)2, d(CGAGAATTCGCG)2, d(CGCGAATTCACG)2, d(CGCGAATTCTCG)2, and d(CGCAGAATTCGCG)·d(CGCGAATTCGCG)

Molecular-mechanical simulations have been carried out on “mismatched base” analogs of the DNA double-helical structure d(CGCGAATTCGCG)₂, in which the base pairs CG at the 3 and 10 positions have been replaced by CA, AG, TC, and TG base pairs, as well as an insertion analog in which an extra adenine has been incorporated into one strand of the above structure between bases 3 and 4. The results of these simulations (calculated relative stabilities, structures, and nmr ring-current shifts) have been compared with calorimetric and nmr data. The calculated relative stabilities of the double-helical parent dodecamer and the various “wobble” base pairs qualitatively correlate with the experimental melting temperatures. The base-pairing structure for the GT wobble pair is in agreement with that previously determined from nmr experiments. For the GA base pair, the structure with both bases anti has a slightly more favorable energy from base pairing and stacking than a structure with non-Watson-Crick H-bonding with adenine syn, in agreement with nmr experiments. The CA wobble base is calculated to favor an adenine 6NH₂ …? cytosine N3 H-bond over cytosine 4NH₂ …? adenine N1, again, in agreement with nmr experiments. There is no definitive experimental data on the TC base pair, but the existence of (somewhat long and weak) H-bonds involving cytosine 4NH₂ …? thymine 4CO and cytosine N3 …? thymine HN3 seems reasonable. We find a structure in which the extra adenine base of the insertion analogs sits “inside” the double helix.
