The donor-free 9,10-dialkyl-9,10-dihydro-9,10-digallaanthracenes 1 (alkyl: methyl) and 2 (alkyl: ethyl) were prepared by reaction of 1,2-di(chloromercurio)benzene with the corresponding trialkylgallium and isolated as colourless air- and moisture sensitive crystalline compounds. In the solid-state structure of 1, two slightly different monomers 1A and 1B are found, which form a dimer 1A?1B held together by “medium” strong gallium arene π-interactions. Further weak π-interactions between 1A and 1A and 1B and 1B constitute a one-dimensional coordination polymer containing strands of the composition [?(1A?1B)?(1B?1A)?]n. In contrast, compound 2 crystallizes in the form of distinct molecular units without any further intermolecular π-interactions. The molecular units possess D2d symmetry and are built by strong π-interactions between two digallaanthracene monomers. Two symmetrical aryl group bridges between two gallium atoms are observed for the first time in the subunits of 2. By addition of a Lewis-base (THF, Pyridine) to 2, a monomeric planar digallaanthracene framework is restored, as proven by an X-ray crystal structure analysis of 2 · 2Py. The different structures of 1 and 2 are explained on the basis of steric effects.  相似文献

The chemical study of the stems extract of Psychotria arborea Hiern led to the isolation of thirteen compounds, including four anthraquinones: 2-methylanthracene-9,10-dione (1), 2-methoxyanthracene-9,10-dione (2), 2-hydroxy-3-methylanthracene-9,10-dione (3) and 3-hydroxy-1-methoxy-2-methylanthracene-9,10-dione (4); two diterpenes: ent-kaur-16-en-19-oic acid (5) and 15-acetoxy-ent-kaur-16-en-19-oic acid (6); two triterpenes, β-amyrin (8) and oleanolic acid (9), one flavonoid: Quercetin (7), three sterols: A mixture of stigmasterol (10) and β-sitosterol (11) and β-sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (12) and one fatty acid (13). The structures of these compounds were elucidated based on NMR and HR-ESIMS analysis, further supported by comparison with previously reported spectral data. Compounds 14 and compounds 1012 were tested for their antibacterial activity against three bacteria strains Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella enterica. All these tested compounds were found to be inactive. Furthermore, the chemotaxonomic significance of the obtained compounds was discussed in detail.  相似文献

A novel series of 5-fluoro-N-(9,10-dihydro-9,10-dioxoanthracen-8-yl)-1H-indole-2-carboxamides (3c3g) were synthesized. The present study was undertaken to investigate the possible antihyperlipidemic effect of these novel compounds on hyperlipidemic rats. Hyperlipidemia was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of Triton WR-1339 (300 mg/kg). The tested animals were divided into normal control (NCG), hyperlipidemic control (HCG), compounds 3c-, 3d-, 3e-, 3f-, 3g- and bezafibrate (BF)-treated groups. At a dose of 15 mg/kg, compounds 3c3g and BF (100 mg/kg) significantly (p < 0.0001) reduced elevated plasma triglycerides levels after 12 and 24 h compared to the hyperlipidemic control group. However, only compounds 3e and 3g obviously showed a significant (p < 0.0001) reduction in plasma total cholesterol levels after 12 and 24 h. Moreover, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were significantly increased in all treated groups. The current study demonstrates that 5-fluoro-N-(9,10-dihydro-9,10-dioxoanthracen-8-yl)-1H-indole-2-carboxamides (3c3g) have a definite antihyperlipidemic potential and these beneficial activities may contribute to their cardioprotective and antiatherosclerotic role.  相似文献

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT)- and two putative serotonin receptors, 5-HT1A- and 5-HT1B-like, immunohistochemical reactivities were investigated in the cephalic ganglia of two ground crickets, Dianemobius nigrofasciatus and Allonemobius allardi. 5-HT-ir was strongly expressed in the central body, accessory medulla region of the optic lobe, frontal ganglion, posterior cortex of the protocerebrum, dorsolateral region of the protocerebrum, and the suboesphageal ganglion (SOG) in both crickets. However, 5-HT1A-ir and 5-HT1B-ir showed quite mutually distinct patterns that were also distinct from 5-HT-ir. 5-HT1A-ir was located in the pars intercerebralis, dorsolateral region of the protocerebrum, optic tract, optic lobe, and the midline of the SOG in both crickets. 5-HT1B-ir was located in the pars intercerebralis and dorsolateral region of the protocerebrum, and detected weakly in the optic lobe, tritocerebrum, and the midline of the SOG in both crickets. Interspecific differences were observed with 5-HT1A-ir. 5-HT1A-ir was expressed weakly in two neurons in the mandibular neuromere of the SOG in D. nigrofasciatus, while it was expressed strongly in the tritocerebrum, mandibular neuromere, and maxillary neuromere of the SOG in A. allardi and co-localized with CLOCK-ir (CLK-ir). 5HT-1B-ir was co-localized with CLK-ir in the tritocerebrum, mandibular neuromere, and maxillary neuromere of the SOG when double-labeling was conducted in both crickets. These results indicated that 5-HT and both types of 5-HT receptors may regulate circadian photo-entrainment or photoperiodism in A. allardi, while only 5-HT1B may be involved in circadian photo-entrainment or photoperiodism in D. nigrofasciatus.  相似文献

BackgroundOral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains a challenging cancer to treat despite all the advances of the last 50 years. Kallikrein 5 (KLK5) is among the serine proteases implicated in OSCC development. However, whether the activity of KLK5 promotes carcinogenesis is still controversial. Moreover, knowledge regarding the role of the KLK5 cognate inhibitor, Lympho-Epithelial Kazal-Type related Inhibitor (LEKTI), in OSCC is scarce. We have, thus, sought to investigate the importance of KLK5 and LEKTI expression in premalignant and malignant lesions of the oral cavity.MethodsKLK5 and LEKTI protein expression was evaluated in 301 human samples, which were comprised of non-malignant and malignant lesions of the oral cavity. Moreover, a bioinformatic analysis of the overall survival rate from 517 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) samples was performed. Additionally, to mimic the uncovered KLK5 to serine peptidase inhibitor (SPINK5) imbalance, the KLK5 gene was abrogated in an OSCC cell line using CRISPR-Cas9 technology. The generated cell line was then used for in vivo and in vitro carcinogenesis related experiments.ResultsLEKTI was found to be statistically downregulated in OSCCs, with increased KLK5/SPINK5 mRNA ratio being associated with a shorter overall survival (p=0.091). Indeed, disruption of KLK5 to SPINK5 balance through the generation of KLK5 null OSCC cells led to smaller xenografted tumors and statistically decreased proliferation rates following multiple time points of BrdU treatment in vitro.ConclusionThe association of increased enzyme/inhibitor ratio with poor prognosis indicates KLK5 to SPINK5 relative expression as an important prognostic marker in OSCC.  相似文献

Mutator mutations mutL25, mutR34, and mutU4 had similar effects on the reversion of 4 trp frameshift mutations of known sequence. The mutation trpE9777, which resulted from the addition of an A–T base-pair to a run of 5 A–T base-pairs, was most strongly reverted by the 4 mutators. Reversion of trpE9777 was also increased by mutation polA1 (DNA polymerase I) and dnaE486 and dnaE511 (DNA polymerase III). No effect was found with the ligase mutations, lig-4 or lig-ts7. Mutations polAex1 and polA107, both deficient in the 5′ → 3′ exonuclease activity of DNA polymerase I, had different mutator effects; the factor increase in reversion of trpE9777 was 28-fold for polAex1, 6-fold for polA107, and 21-fold for polA1. The trpE9777 mutation is a useful indicator of frameshift mutator activity.  相似文献

Glucose oxidase (GOx) of Penicillium adametzii LF F-2044.1 recovered by ultrafiltration, was characterized by spectrophotometric and spectrofluorometric methods. It was shown that spectra of GOx from P. adametzii are typical for flavoproteins. Optimal buffer composition was chosen. It was determined that the GOx is the most efficiently interacting with substrate (glucose) in phosphate buffer at pH 7.0 with kkat/KM = 15,217 ± 550 M−1 s−1. P. adametzii GOx fluorescence in the presence of different redox mediators (9,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione, 9,10-phenanthrenequinone, 1,4-benzoquinone, methylene blue, ferrocene, ferrocenecarboxylic acid, α-methylferrocenemethanol, ferrocenecarboxaldehyde) was evaluated. Maximal differences in fluorescence emission intensity were observed in the presence of ferrocene and 9,10-phenanthrenequinone.  相似文献

From a readily available 5-C-Me ribofuranoside, we have realized a reliable route to valuable 5′-deoxy-5′-amino-5′-C-methyl adenosine derivatives at gram scale with confirmed stereochemistry. These adenosine derivatives are useful starting materials for the preparation of 5′-deoxy-5′-amino-5′-C-methyl adenosine derivatives with higher complexity. From one of the new adenosine derivatives, some 5′-deoxy-5′-amino-5′-C-methyl adenosine DOT1L inhibitors were prepared in several steps. Data from DOT1L assay indicated that additional 5′-C-Me group improved the enzyme inhibitory activity.  相似文献

A cell extract of Escherichia coli was found to contain a cytosine deaminase that can stoichiometrically deaminate 5-fluorocytosine to 5-fluorouracil. It was partially purified and aseptically encapsulated in semipermeable cellulose tubes. These capsules, each containing 0.20 U, were implanted under the skin of rats. After a month the capsules were taken out, and found to contain 0.025 ± 0.011 U per capsule (half-life of 10 ± 2 days) (mean ± S.D., n = 6).This fact provided us with an idea for a new approach to the chemotherapy of cancer with the combined use of 5-fluorocytosine administered orally and cytosine deaminase capsule implanted locally.  相似文献

The formation of three oxidative DNA 5-methylcytosine (5mC) modifications (oxi-mCs)—5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), 5-formylcytosine (5fC) and 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC)—by the TET/JBP family of dioxygenases prompted intensive studies of their functional roles in mammalian cells. However, the functional interplay of these less abundant modified nucleotides in other eukaryotic lineages remains poorly understood. We carried out a systematic study of the content and distribution of oxi-mCs in the DNA and RNA of the basidiomycetes Laccaria bicolor and Coprinopsis cinerea, which are established models to study DNA methylation and developmental and symbiotic processes. Quantitative liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry revealed persistent but uneven occurrences of 5hmC, 5fC and 5caC in the DNA and RNA of the two organisms, which could be upregulated by vitamin C. 5caC in RNA (5carC) was predominantly found in non-ribosomal RNA, which potentially includes non-coding, messenger and small RNA species. Genome-wide mapping of 5hmC and 5fC using the single CG analysis techniques hmTOP-seq and foTOP-seq pointed at involvement of oxi-mCs in the regulation of gene expression and silencing of transposable elements. The implicated diverse roles of 5mC and oxi-mCs in the two fungi highlight the epigenetic importance of the latter modifications, which are often neglected in standard whole-genome bisulfite analyses.  相似文献

The most abundant chemical modification on RNA is isomerization of uridine (or pseudouridylation) catalyzed by pseudouridine synthases. The catalytic mechanism of this essential process remains largely speculative, partly due to lack of knowledge of the pre-reactive state that is important to the identification of reactive chemical moieties. In the present study, we showed, using orthogonal space random-walk free-energy simulation, that the pre-reactive states of uridine and its reactive derivative 5-fluorouridine, bound to a ribonucleoprotein particle pseudouridine synthase, strongly prefer the syn glycosidic bond conformation, while that of the nonreactive 5-bromouridine-containing substrate is largely populated in the anti conformation state. A high-resolution crystal structure of the 5-bromouridine-containing substrate bound to the ribonucleoprotein particle pseudouridine synthase and enzyme activity assay confirmed the anti nonreactive conformation and provided the molecular basis for its confinement. The observed preference for the syn pre-reactive state by the enzyme-bound uridine may help to distinguish among currently proposed mechanisms.  相似文献

The vertebrate 2-5A system is part of the innate immune response and central to cellular antiviral activities. Upon activation by viral double-stranded RNA, 5′-triphosphorylated, 2′-5′-linked oligoadenylate polyribonucleotides (2-5As) are synthesized by one of several 2′-5′ oligoadenylate synthetases. The 2-5As bind and activate RNase L, an unspecific endoribonuclease, resulting in viral and cellular RNA decay. Given that most endogenous RNAs are degraded by RNase L, continued enzyme activity will eventually lead to cell growth arrest and cell death. This is averted, when 2-5As and their 5′-dephosphorylated forms, the so-called 2-5A core molecules, are cleaved and thus inactivated by 2′-5′-specific nuclease(s), e.g. phosphodiesterase 12, thereby turning RNase L into its latent form. In this study, we have characterized the human phosphodiesterase 12 in vitro focusing on its ability to degrade 2-5As and 2-5A core molecules. We have found that the enzyme activity is distributive and is influenced by temperature, pH and divalent cations. This allowed us to determine Vmax and Km kinetic parameters for the enzyme. We have also identified a novel 2′-5′-oligoadenylate nuclease; the human plasma membrane-bound ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1, suggesting that 2-5A catabolism may be a multienzyme-regulated process.  相似文献

The substituents both at the 6-position of the 5-bromopyrimidinone ring and at the 5′-position of the phenyl ring of 5-bromopyrimidin-4(3H)-ones were explored. 5-Bromo-6-isopropyl-2-(2-propoxy-phenyl)pyrimidin-4(3H)-one was identified as a new scaffold for potent PDE5 inhibitors. The crystal structures of PDE5/2e and PDE5/10a complexes provided a structural basis for the inhibition of 5-bromopyrimidinones to PDE5. In addition, it was also found that there is a great tolerance for the substitution at the 5′-position of the phenyl ring of 5-bormopyrimidinones and the resulted compound 13a has the highest inhibition activity to PDE5 (IC50, 1.7 nM).  相似文献

The pathogenesis of breast cancer involves multiple genetic and epigenetic events. In this study, we report an epigenetic alteration of DFNA5 in human breast cancer. DFNA5 gene was silenced in breast cancer cell lines that were methylated in the DFNA5 promoter, and restored by treatment with the demethylating agent, 5-aza-dC, and gene knock-down of DFNA5 increased cellular invasiveness in vitro. The mRNA expression of DFNA5 in breast cancer tissues was down-regulated as compared to normal tissues. Moreover, the DFNA5 promoter was found to be methylated in primary tumor tissues with high frequency (53%, 18/34). Quantitative methylation-specific PCR of DFNA5 clearly discriminated primary breast cancer tissues from normal breast tissues (15.3%, 2/13). Moreover, methylation status of DFNA5 was correlated with lymph node metastasis in breast cancer patients. Our data implicate DFNA5 promoter methylation as a novel molecular biomarker in human breast cancer.  相似文献

The synthesis and SAR for a novel series of tetrahydropyrido[3,2-c]pyrroles is described. Optimization of the pendant aryl ring lead to high binding affinity at the 5-HT7 receptor when small lipophilic groups were placed in the para position. Modification of the N-benzyl group and secondary amine were not well tolerated. A representative set of compounds was shown to be functional antagonists of the 5-HT7 receptor.  相似文献

Altered placental function as a consequence of aberrant imprinted gene expression may be one mechanism mediating the association between low birth weight and increased cardiometabolic disease risk. Imprinted gene expression is regulated by epigenetic mechanisms, particularly DNA methylation (5mC) at differentially methylated regions (DMRs). While 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is also present at DMRs, many techniques do not distinguish between 5mC and 5hmC. Using human placental samples, we show that the expression of the imprinted gene CDKN1C associates with birth weight. Using specific techniques to map 5mC and 5hmC at DMRs controlling the expression of CDKN1C and the imprinted gene IGF2, we show that 5mC enrichment at KvDMR and DMR0, and 5hmC enrichment within the H19 gene body, associate positively with birth weight. Importantly, the presence of 5hmC at imprinted DMRs may complicate the interpretation of DNA methylation studies in placenta; future studies should consider using techniques that distinguish between, and permit quantification of, both modifications.  相似文献
