The effect of prostaglandin F on ovulation and fertilization was studied in rabbits. The number of ovulation was not affected by subcutaneous injection of PGF but the recovery of ova was significantly decreased when PGF was given either at 12 or 16 h after HCG injection and autopsied 24 h latter. The results suggest that exogenous PGF accelerates ovum transport and expels the eggs prematurely from the female tract and does not impair ovulation or the fertilization processes when given to rabbit at 1 mg/kg B.W.  相似文献

In the present study, (3aR,7aS)-1,3,3a,4,7,7a-hexahydroisobenzofuran was submitted to photooxygenation and two isomeric hydroperoxides were successfully obtained. Without any further purification, reduction of the hydroperoxides with titanium tetraisopropoxide catalyzed by dimethyl sulfide gave two alcohol isomers in high yields. After acetylation of alcohol with Ac2O in pyridine, epoxidation reaction of formed monoacetates with m-CPBA, then chromatographed and followed by hydrolysis of the acetate groups with NH3 in CH3OH resulted in the formation of epoxy alcohol isomers respectively. These epoxy alcohol isomers were subjected to trans-dihydroxylation reaction with acid (H2SO4) in the presence of water to afford triols. Acetylation of the free hydroxyl groups produced benzofuran triacetates in high yields. Ring-opening reaction of furan triacetates with sulfamic acid catalyzed in the presence of acetic acid/acetic anhydrate and subsequently hydrolysis of the acetate groups with ammonia gave the targeted cyclohexane carbasugar-based pentols. All products were separated and purified by chromatographic and crystallographic methods. Structural analyses of all compounds were conducted by spectral techniques including NMR and X-ray analyses. The biological inhibition activity of the target compounds was tested against glycosidase enzymes, α- and β-glucosidase.  相似文献

Using a combination of radioimmunoprecipitation and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the immunoprecipitate we studied the rate of synthesis of the heavy chain of β-lipovitellin in the liver of immature chicks. In male and female chicks the base-line synthesis of βL-lipovitellin1 was about 30 molecules per minute and per cell. Four days after a single injection of 40 mg estradiol/kg, as many as 48,000 molecules of βL-lipovitellin were synthesized per minute and per diploid liver cell. The increase in the rate of βL-lipovitellin synthesis could be correlated with an increase in membrane bound mRNA coding for βL-lipovitellin.  相似文献

p-Boronophenylalanine (l-BPA) is applied in clinical settings as a boron carrier for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) to cure malignant melanomas. Structural modification or derivatization of l-BPA, however, to improve its uptake efficiency into tumor cells has scarcely been investigated. We successfully synthesized (S)-2-amino-3-(4-boronophenyl)-2-methylpropanoic acid in enantioenriched form as a novel candidate molecule for BNCT. Key steps to enhance the efficiency of this synthesis were enantioselective alkylation of N-protected alanine tert-butyl ester with a Maruoka catalyst and Miyaura borylation reaction to install the boron functionality.  相似文献

Antibodies were prepared against 9-deoxy-6,9-epoxy-PGF, the 5,6-dihydro analog of prostacyclin (PGI2). By using as the hapten, this structurally similar, stable analog, an antibody population was developed which recognized PGI2 and reversed its influence on platelet aggregation. The antibodies also opposed the normal effect of PGI2 on the cAMP and thromboxane B2 levels during aggregation. By anticipating the cross reaction between the analog and PGI2 and by considering it beneficial, the problem of raising antibodies against an unstable compound has been circumvented.  相似文献

A method for the synthesis of titanocene (IV) aryl carboxylate complexes is presented in this paper. It is based on the fact that alcohol can catalyze the reaction between Cp2TiCl2 and aryl carboxylate ligands in the presence of sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The effects of the catalyst on the reaction system were studied and the possible reaction mechanism was proposed. This method was used to prepare a series of titanocene (IV) aryl carboxylate complexes and a macrocyclic titanocene (5,5′-dithiodisalicylato titanocene), whose structure was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.  相似文献

The preparation of N-trityl-amino acids is described. Several derivatives of trifunctional amino acidscarrying acid- and base-labile side-chain protecting groups and the trityl group at the N position are prepared for first time. The incorporation of N-trityl-amino acids into peptide sequences usingsolid-phase protocols was achieved. The use of the trityl groupfor the protection of the -amino group in conjunction with base-labile side-chain protecting groups constitutes a newmethod for the assembly of peptides in mild conditions.  相似文献

3′,4′-Dideoxykanamycin B, the kanamycin B derivative that is active against resistant bacteria, was prepared from kanamycin B viaN-tosylation, 3′,4′-O-sulphonylation, 3′,4′-unsaturation, and hydrogenation. The unsaturated intermediate was obtained from the 3′,4′-di-O-sulphonyl derivatives by the action of sodium iodide in N,N-dimethylformamide; if zinc dust was added in this reaction, aziridine derivatives were formed, Removal of the tosyl group was successfully performed by using sodium in ammonia-ethylamine.  相似文献

A modification of the adenylyl cyclase assay method of Y. Salomon, C. Londos, and M. Rodbell (1974, Anal. Biochem. 48, 541–548) is described. It makes the method applicable to the determination of guanylyl cyclase in subcellular tissue fractions. The modification consists of performing the Dowex 50 chromatography at acid pH in a column that has bed volume that is three times as large. This modification results in low blanks and allows for reuse of both Dowex 50 and aluminum oxide columns. A modification of the method of Symons [1974, Methods in Enzymology (Grossman, L., and Moldave, K., eds.), Vol. 29, pp. 105–115, Academic Press, New York] for synthesis of [α-32P]nucleoside triphosphates is also presented. It allows all steps to be carried out within 5 h in a single reaction vessel. Synthesized NTPs are then purified by DEAE-Sephadex A-25 (HCO3?form) using a linear ammonium bicarbonate gradient. Its applicability to synthesis of [α-32P]GTP, [α-32P]dGTP, and [α-32P]ATP having specific activities of up to 75 Ci/mmol is shown.  相似文献

Previous work has shown that mild trypsin treatment eliminates energy-transduction capability and tight (non-exchangeable) nucleotide binding in beef heart mitochondrial F1-ATPase (Leimgruber, R.M. and Senior, A.E. (1976) J. Biol. Chem. 251, 7103–7109). The structural change brought about by trypsin was, however, too subtle to be identified by one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and was not defined. In this work we have applied two-dimensional electrophoresis (isoelectric focussing then sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gradient electrophoresis) to the problem, and have determined that the α-subunit of F1 is altered by the mild trypsin treatment, whereas no change was detected in β-, γ-, δ- or ?-subunits. Binding of ADP to the trypsin-treated F1 was compared to binding to control enzyme over a range of 0–40 μM ADP in a 30 min incubation period. There was no difference between the two enzymes, KADPd in Mg2+-containing buffer was about 2 μM in each. Since the tight (nonexchangeable) sites are abolished in trypsin-treated F1, this shows that tight exchangeable ADP-binding sites are different from the tight nonexchangeable ADP-binding sites. There was no effect of trypsin cleavage of the α-subunit on β-subunit conformation as judged by aurovertin fluorescence studies. The cleavage of the α-subunit which occurred was judged to occur very close to the C- or N-terminus of the subunit and constitutes therefore a small and specific chemical modification which abolishes overall function in F1 but leaves partial functions intact.  相似文献

Photoamidation of 3-O-acetyl-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-d-erythro-hex-3-enofuranose (1) afforded 3-O-acetyl-4-C-carbamoyl-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-d-gulofuranose (2) and 3-O-acetyl-3-C-carbamoyl-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-d-α-allofuranose (3) in 65 and 26% yields, respectively (based on consumed1). Treatment of2 with 5% hydrochloric acid in methanol yielded the spiro lactone5, which was deacetylated to yield7. Reduction of5 with sodium borohydride afforded 4-C-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-d-gulofuranose (9) in 79% yield. Oxidation of9 with sodium metaperiodate afforded a dialdose that was reduced with sodium borohydride to give 4-C-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-d-erythro-pentofuranose (11) in 88% yield. Treatment of the acetate12, derived from11, with trifluoroacetic acid, followed by acetylation, afforded the branched-chain sugar acetate14. Condensation of the glycosyl halide derived from14 withN6-benzoyl-N6, 9-bis-(trimethylsilyl)adenine yielded an equimolar anomeric mixture of protected nucleosides15 and16 in 40% yield. Treatment of the latter compounds with sodium methoxide in methanol afforded 9-[4-C-(hydroxymethyl)-β-d-erythro-pentofuranosyl]-adenine (17) and the α-d anomer18. The structure of3 was determined by correlation with the known 5,3′-hemiacetal of 3-C-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α,α′-d-ribo-pentodialdose (25).  相似文献

A new octamolybdate-supported transition metal complex [{Ni(phen)2}2(Mo8O26)] (1) has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by the elemental analyses, IR spectrum, XPS spectra, TG analysis and the single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c, a=10.446(2) Å, b=12.103(2) Å, c=21.956(4) Å, β=97.81(3)°, V=2750.0(10) Å3, and Z=2. The single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that compound 1 is constructed from a novel unprecedented η-type octamolybdate cluster linked to two {Ni(phen)2}2 coordination complexes.  相似文献

The potentials of a series of one-electron oxidation and reduction reactions have been determined for manganese group half-sandwich complexes of the tricarbadecaboranyl ligand PhC3B7H9 and the penta-organo fullerene ligand C60Bn2PhH2 (Bn = benzyl). The anodic processes were studied in CH2Cl2 and the cathodic processes were studied in both CH2Cl2 and THF, the supporting electrolyte being [NBu4][B(C6F5)4]. The manganese complex Mn(CO)2(PMe3)(PhC3B7H9) (1) is a member of a three-electron transfer series which includes oxidation to 1+ (0.51 V versus ferrocene) and successive reductions to 1 (−1.66 V) and 12− (−1.77 V). Both the oxidation and reduction of the closely-related complex Mn(CO)2(PPh3)(PhC3B7H9) (2) are chemically irreversible under slow-scan cyclic voltammetry conditions. The rhenium complex Re(CO)2(PPh3)(PhC3B7H9) (3) oxidizes (E1/2 = 0.82 V versus ferrocene) to a radical cation which, unlike its cyclopentadienyl analogue, shows no evidence of dimerization. Oxidation of the fullerene-based complex Re(CO)3(C60Bn2PhH2) is more facile than that of its cyclopentadienyl analogue, in contrast to previous findings in this class of metal-fullerene derivatives. An electrochemical ligand factor, EL, of 0.63 is calculated for the PhC3B7H9 ligand in manganese group half-sandwich complexes.  相似文献

Preliminary experiments suggested that total levels of radioactivity disappeared from the blood of male, Fischer rats much more rapidly following intragastric administration of 14C-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (14C-THC) than 3H-THC. Collaborative experiments at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) and the Research Institute on Alcoholism (RIA) verified and characterized the initial observations. In rats that had food available throughout the experiments, the concentrations of total 3H and 14C in fresh plasma reached a maximum at 2 – 4 hours after treatment with 3H-THC plus 14C-THC. Thereafter, 14C levels fell while 3H levels decreased very slowly or not at all. In fasted rats, peak plasma concentrations of both isotopes were not attained until about 8 hours following drug administration. The concentrations of 14C then decreased more rapidly than 3H. The differences between the plasma disappearance curves for 14C and 3H were not dependent upon the method of blood collection or the techniques of isotope counting. However, when plasma or whole blood samples were dried before radioisotope analysis, the difference between 14C and 3H concentrations was virtually abolished in fed and fasted rats. Experiments suggest that tritiated water, produced during the metabolism of 3H-THC, may be responsible for the prolonged maintenance of high 3H levels in the blood.  相似文献

Rotation of the γ subunit of the F1-ATPase plays an essential role in energy transduction by F1-ATPase. Hydrolysis of an ATP molecule induces a 120° step rotation that consists of an 80° substep and 40° substep. ATP binding together with ADP release causes the first 80° step rotation. Thus, nucleotide binding is very important for rotation and energy transduction by F1-ATPase. In this study, we introduced a βY341W mutation as an optical probe for nucleotide binding to catalytic sites, and a βE190Q mutation that suppresses the hydrolysis of nucleoside triphosphate (NTP). Using a mutant monomeric βY341W subunit and a mutant α3β3γ subcomplex containing the βY341W mutation with or without an additional βE190Q mutation, we examined the binding of various NTPs (i.e., ATP, GTP, and ITP) and nucleoside diphosphates (NDPs, i.e., ADP, GDP, and IDP). The affinity (1/Kd) of the nucleotides for the isolated β subunit and third catalytic site in the subcomplex was in the order ATP/ADP > GTP/GDP > ITP/IDP. We performed van’t Hoff analyses to obtain the thermodynamic parameters of nucleotide binding. For the isolated β subunit, NDPs and NTPs with the same base moiety exhibited similar ΔH0 and ΔG0 values at 25°C. The binding of nucleotides with different bases to the isolated β subunit resulted in different entropy changes. Interestingly, NDP binding to the α3β(Y341W)3γ subcomplex had similar Kd and ΔG0 values as binding to the isolated β(Y341W) subunit, but the contributions of the enthalpy term and the entropy term were very different. We discuss these results in terms of the change in the tightness of the subunit packing, which reduces the excluded volume between subunits and increases water entropy.  相似文献

Benzylidenation of β-maltose monohydrate with α,α-dimethoxytoluene in N,N-dimethylformamide in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid gave, in 70% yield, 4′,6′-O-benzylidenemaltose, which was acetylated to afford, 1,2,3,6,2′,3′-hexa-O-acetyl-4′,6′-O-benzylidene-β-maltose (4). Removal of the benzylidene group of 4 gave 1,2,3,6,2′,3′-hexa-O-acetyl-β-maltose (5), which was transformed into 1,2,3,6,2′,3′,4′-hepta-O-acetyl-6′-O-p-tolylsulfonyl-β-maltose (8). Several 6′-substituted β-maltose heptaacetates were synthesized by displacement reactions of 8 with various nucleophiles. Condensation of 5 with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-α-d-glucopyranosyl bromide, under catalysis by halide ion, followed by removal of protecting groups, furnished panose in good yield.  相似文献

A DNA fragment containing a gene homologous to LYS2 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was cloned from a genomic DNA library of Penicillium chrysogenum AS-P-78. It encodes a protein of 1409 amino acids (Mr^ 154 859) with strong similarity to the S. cerevisiae (49.9% identity) Schizosaccharomycespombe (51.3% identity) and Candida albicans (48.12% identity) α-aminoadipate reductases and a lesser degree of identity to the amino acid-activating domains of the non-ribosomal peptide synthetases, including the α-aminoadipate-activating domain of the α-aminoadipyl-cysteinyl-valine synthetase of P. chrysogenum (12.4% identical amino acids). The lys2 gene contained one intron in the 5′-region and other in the 3′-region, as shown by comparing the nucleotide sequences of the cDNA and genomic DNA, and was transcribed as a 4.7-kb monocistronic mRNA. The lys2 gene was localized on chromosome III (7.5 Mb) in P. chrysogenum AS-P-78 and on chromosome IV (5.6 Mb) in strain P2, whereas the penicillin gene cluster is known to be located in chromosome I in both strains. The lys2-encoded protein is a member of the aminoacyladenylate-forming enzyme family with a reductase domain in its C-terminal region. Received: 26 January 1998 / Accepted: 4 May 1998  相似文献

In eukaryotic cells, phospholipids are synthesized exclusively in the defined organelles specific for each phospholipid species. To explain the reason for this compartmental specificity in the case of phosphatidylcholine (PC) synthesis, we constructed and characterized a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain that lacked endogenous phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) methyltransferases but had a recombinant PE methyltransferase from Acetobacter aceti, which was fused with a mitochondrial targeting signal from yeast Pet100p and a 3 × HA epitope tag. This fusion protein, which we named as mitopmt, was determined to be localized to the mitochondria by fluorescence microscopy and subcellular fractionation. The expression of mitopmt suppressed the choline auxotrophy of a double deletion mutant of PEM1 and PEM2 (pem1Δpem2Δ) and enabled it to synthesize PC in the absence of choline. This growth suppression was observed even if the Kennedy pathway was inactivated by the repression of PCT1 encoding CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase, suggesting that PC synthesized in the mitochondria is distributed to other organelles without going through the salvage pathway. The pem1Δpem2Δ strain deleted for PSD1 encoding the mitochondrial phosphatidylserine decarboxylase was able to grow because of the expression of mitopmt in the presence of ethanolamine, implying that PE from other organelles, probably from the ER, was converted to PC by mitopmt. These results suggest that PC could move out of the mitochondria, and raise the possibility that its movement is not under strict directional limitations.  相似文献
