Enzymatic esterification between n-alcohol homologs and n-caprylic acid in non-aqueous medium under microwave irradiation

The enzymatic esterification between n-alcohol homologs and n-caprylic acid catalyzed by lipozyme RM IM (LRI) in microwave field was investigated. Some interesting findings were obtained. The optimum reaction temperature slightly shifted from that in enzymatic esterification by conventional heating. n-Alcohol homologs used in this experiment showed substrate specificity in terms of the odd and even carbon numbers. THF expressed abnormal solvent effect. Whereas in the contrastive enzymatic esterification by conventional heating, the above mentioned substrate specificity and solvent effect were not observed. All the above phenomena could be explained by both thermal and non-thermal effect of microwave on enzyme and substrates. Further investigation revealed that microwave irradiation reduced the apparent activation energy of the enzymatic reaction according to Arrhenius equation, which is considered as one of the causes increasing initial reaction rate.

MICROWAVE IRRADIATION FOR ACCELERATING THE SYNTHESIS OF ACYCLONUCLEOSIDES OF 1,2,4-TRIAZOLE

The 3-(D-alditol-1-yl)-4-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazoles 4 and 5 can be successfully prepared using microwave irradiation. Condensation of 4 and 5 with p-nitrobenzaldehyde afforded Schiff bases 6 and 7, respectively. Reaction 4 and 5 with ethylchloroacetate gave the corresponding alkylated products 10 and 11. Better yields and much less time were the characteristic features of using the microwave heating over the conventional one. The structure of the prepared compounds was confirmed by ¹H-NMR, 2D-NMR and mass spectra.     

New lead elements for histamine H3 receptor ligands in the pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine class

This work describes the microwave assisted synthesis of twelve novel histamine H₃ receptor ligands. They display pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives with rigidized aliphatic amines as warheads. The compounds were screened for H₃R and H₄R binding affinities in radioligand displacement assays and the most potent compounds were evaluated for H₃R binding properties in vitro and in docking studies. The combination of a rigidized H₃R warhead and the pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine scaffold resulted in selective activity at the H₃ receptor with a pK_i value of 6.90 for the most potent compound. A bipiperidine warhead displayed higher affinity than a piperazine or morpholine motif, while a naphthyl moiety in the arbitrary region increased affinity compared to a phenyl derivative. The compounds can be starting points for novel, simply synthesized histamine H₃ receptor ligands.

Degradation of hyaluronan by ultrasonication in comparison to microwave and conventional heating

Hyaluronan (hyaluronic acid, HA) was depolymerised by ultrasonication (US), microwave irradiation (MW) and conventional heating (CH), and the effect of pH and oxidants was investigated. The degradation was followed by viscometry and size exclusion chromatography coupled with low-angle light scattering. The results demonstrated that depolymerisation of HA by US leveled off to a limiting molecular mass, and the degradation was significantly enhanced by acidic and alkaline pH only in the presence of oxidants. In contrast to US, the course of depolymerisation by MW was strongly pH-dependent, and the degradation rate increased with decreasing pH. The expected enhancement of depolymerisation by MW in comparison to CH was marked only at very short heating time at pH <4. The NMR and FTIR spectral analyses indicated that HA in the whole M_w-range studied retained almost the backbone of the parent polysaccharide independently on the degradation method used. At harsh degradation conditions (long-term treatments, particularly at acidic pH or alkaline pH and in presence of oxidants) the depolymerisation was accompanied by destruction of both constituent sugar residues and formation of unsaturated structures detectable by UV-absorption at 230–240 and 260–270 nm. US-assisted oxidative degradation under mild reaction conditions was shown to be the most appropriate procedure to reduce the molecular mass of HA to 100 kDa without significant chemical modification of the polysaccharide.

Regioselectivity in the glycosylation of 5-(3-chlorobenzo[b]thien-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol

The glycosylation of 5-(3-chlorobenzo[b]thien-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (1) and its 3-benzylsulfanyl and 3-methylsulfanyl derivatives with different glycosyl halides 2-4 has been studied in presence of base. The S-glycosides 5-7 were obtained in the presence of triethylamine, whereas the respective S,N⁴-bis(glycosyl) derivatives 8-10 were synthesized in the presence of potassium carbonate; the S,N²-bis(glycosyl) isomer 11 could also be isolated in the case of the galactosyl analog. Similarly, after protecting 1 as 3-benzyl(methyl)sulfanyl derivatives 12 or 13, the N⁴-glycosyl analogs 14-19 as well as minor amounts of S,N²-bis(galactosyl) isomers 20 and 21 were formed. The theoretical calculations using AM1 semiempirical methods agreed with the experimental results. Microwave irradiation (MWI) led to higher yields in much less time than the conventional methods, and no change in regioselectivity has been noticed.
