A pectin isolated from rapeseed, hulls by extraction with aqueous ammonium oxalate, had a degree of esterification of 83% and contained residues of hexuronic (mainly D-galacturonic) acid (76%), D-galactose (2–3%), L-arabinose (8–9%), D-xylose (2%), L-rhamnose (2–3%), and L-fucose (1%). Partial acid hydrolysis of the derived pectic acid furnished 2-O-(α-D-galactopyranosyluronic acid)-L-rhamnose, 4-O-(α-D-galactopyranosyluronic acid)-D-galacturonic acid and the polymer-homologous tri- and tetrasaccharides, and 4-O-(glucopyranosyluronic acid)-L-fucose. The cleavage products from the methylated pectin were examined by g.l.c. and the partially methylated alditol acetates from the methylated carboxyl-reduced polysaccharide by g.l.c.-mass spectrometry. Parallel methylation studies on lemon-peel pectin have established a close similarity between the two pectins.  相似文献

Two carrageenans from Iridaea undulosa, isolated by precipitation of the crude polysaccharide at O.70–1.05 M and 1.55–1.65 M KCl concentrations, were studied by methylation analysis. Acid hydrolysis of the methylated derivative of the less soluble carrageenan (molar ratio galactose: 3,6-anhydrogalactose: sulphate 1.00: 0.50: 1.20) yielded major amounts of 2,6-di-O-methylgalactose (51.3 mol %), 4,6-di-O-methylgalactose (25.6%) and 4-O-methylgalactose (51.3mol%), 4,6-di-O-methylgalactose (25.6%) and 4-O-methylgalactose (13.4%). Minor quantities of 3-O-methylgalactose (4.6%) and 6-O-methylgalactose (3.2%) were found together with traces of 2,3,6- and/or 2,4,6-tri-O-methylgalactose, 2-O-methylgalactose and galactose. Oxidative acid hydrolysis produced 3,6-anhydro-2-O-methylgalactonic acid and 3,6-anhydrogalactonic acid in a molar ratio 3.5-4.0:1.0. The methylated derivative of the more soluble carrageenan (molar ratio galactose:3,6-anhydrogalactose:sulphate 1.00:0.04:1.43) gave on acid hydrolysis, 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methylgalactose (4.6%), 2,3,6-tri-O-methylgalactose (4.2%), 2,4,6-tri-O-methylgalactose (10.7%), 4,6-di-O-methylgalactose (24.1%), 3,6-di-0-methylgalactose (8.0%), 2,3-di-O- methylgalactose (3.4%), 2,4-di-O-methylgalactose (4.6%), 2,6-di-O-methylgalactose (4.2%), 3-O-methylgalactose (19.5%),4-O-methylgalactose (9.6%),6-O-methylgalactose(3.1%),galactose (3.4%)and traces of 2-O-methylgalactose.  相似文献

A cyclic hydroxamate, 2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-2H- 1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one (DIMBOA), was isolated and identified from shoots of 6-day-old corn seedlings grown in the dark. From 100 g of plant tissue 100 mg of DIMBOA were isolated. This hydroxamate was very effective in catalysing the hydrolysis of the pyrimidinyl organophosphate insecticide, diazinon (O, O-diethyl- O-[6- methyl-2-(1-methylethyl)-4-pyrimidinyl] phosphorothioate) to 6- methyl-2-(1-methylethyl)-4-hydroxypyrimidine and diethyl phosphorothioic acid. The optimum pH for hydrolytic activity was 5 and at pH values equal to or higher than the pKa of the hydroxamic group (6.95) most of the activity was lost.  相似文献

A C-nucleoside analog of cordycepin, 6-amino-8-(3-deoxy-β-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)purine (6), has been synthesized. 3-Deoxy-2,5-di-O-(p-nitrobenzoyl)- β-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl bromide reacted with mercuric cyanide in nitromethane to give 2,5-anhydro-4-deoxy-3,6-di-O-(p-nitrobenzoyl)-D-ribo-hexononitrile which, after acid hydrolysis and removal of the protecting groups, afforded 2,5-anhydro-4-deoxy-D-ribo-hexonic acid. Reaction of this acid with 4,5,6-triaminopyrimidine gave the corresponding amide, which was pyrolyzed to give compound 6. The mass- and n.m.r.-spectral data for the synthesized analog are quite similar to those of the natural antibiotic.  相似文献

The sequential structures and acetylation patterns of alginates from several strains of Azotobacter vinelandii and Pseudomonas species, including P. aeruginosa, P. putida, P. fluorescens, and P. mendocina, have been studied by 1H-n.m.r. spectroscopy. O-Acetyl groups were exclusively associated with the d-mannuronic acid residues and the degree of acetylation varied in the range 4–5%, depending upon the proportion of this acid in the polymer. 1H-N.m.r. spectroscopy of a naturally occurring and an artifically acetylated d-mannuronan made it possible to determine the degrees of acetylation at O-2, O-3, and O-2,3. The most conspicuous difference between alginates from A. vinelandii and the four Pseudomonas species was the complete absence of consecutive l-guluronic acid residues in the latter.  相似文献

The Fenton-type reaction between ferrous diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Fe2+-DTPA, 50–200 μM) and H2O2 (20–1000 μM) in phosphate buffer at pH 7.0 results in consumption of dissolved oxygen. This observation differs from many prior reports that oxygen is liberated when more concentrated solutions of H2O2 are decomposed by iron salts. The rate and total quantity of oxygen consumed were dependent upon the concentrations of ferrous chelate, H2O2, and excess DTPA. Evidence is provided that both the ferrous-DTPA chelate and free DTPA can participate in the oxygen-consuming reactions. Oxygen was also consumed during the Fenton reaction between ferrous ions and H2O2 when DTPA and phosphate buffer were omitted. Under these conditions, oxygen evolution was observed at higher H2O2 concentrations (e.g., 400 μM). The consumption of oxygen during the Fenton-type reaction of an iron chelate at neutral pH may be relavant to events that take place in biologic systems.  相似文献

Conditions for the extractive alkylation of eight sulphonylurea hypoglycemic drugs have been evaluated. Extractive methylation of the compounds was achieved within 90 min using tetrabutylammonium as counter-ion (0.1 M at pH = 6.9) with 5% methyl iodide in dichloromethane as organic phase. Mass spectral analysis showed derivatives methylated at the sulphonamide nitrogen. A higher pH or use of tetrapentylammonium as counter-ion caused hydrolysis of the sulphonylureas.The derivatives showed a high electron-capture response with minimum concentrations detectable in the range 1–4 × 10?16 moles sec?1.Therapeutic plasma concentrations of glipizide and tolbutamide were determined by direct extractive methylation of the compounds from the plasma sample. The glipizide derivative was determined by electron-capture gas chromatography down to about 20 ng/ml in a 0.5-ml plasma sample. The relative standard deviation at the 0.2 μg/ml level of glipizide was 6% (n=6). The corresponding figure in the determination of tolbutamide at the 10 μg/ml level was 3% (n=10).  相似文献

Extraction with dimethyl sulfoxide of wood-meal of the stem of bracatinga (Mimosa scabrella), a south Brazilian hardwood, that was defatted and delignified by treatment with aqueous chlorine at 0–5° followed by extraction with cold ethanol, gave a soluble O-acetylated 4-O-methyl-d-glucurono-d-xylan having (1→4)-linked β-d-xylopyranosyl residues that were unsubstituted (65%) and 2-O-(14%), 3-O- (16%), and 2,3-di-O-acetylated (5%), as determined by methylation analysis. Another preparation obtained by use of refluxing ethanol in the delignification process showed neither removal nor migration of acetyl groups. By comparison with synthetic, partly O-acetylated d-xylans of known composition, 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy indicated that O-acetyl group migration does not occur during treatment with cold aqueous chlorine, refluxing ethanol, or water at 70°. Methyl 2-O-acetyl-4-O-methyl-β-d-xylopyranoside (6) was also unaffected by aqueous chlorine. O-Acetyl group migration took place more readily in aqueous and dimethyl sulfoxide solutions of 6 than of O-acetyl-d-xylans. The lowest temperatures at which migration was observed in monosaccharides was at 50 and 70° for solutions in D2O and (CD3)2SO, respectively.  相似文献

A method for the simultaneous direct determination of salicylate (SA), its labile, reactive metabolite, salicyl acyl glucuronide (SAG), and two other major metabolites, salicyluric acid and gentisic acid in plasma and urine is described. Isocratic reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) employed a 15-cm C18 column using methanol-acetonitrile-25 mM acetic acid as the mobile phase, resulting in HPLC analysis time of less than 20 min. Ultraviolet detection at 310 nm permitted analysis of SAG in plasma, but did not provide sensitivity for measurement of salicyl phenol glucuronide. Plasma or urine samples are stabilized immediately upon collection by adjustment of pH to 3–4 to prevent degradation of the labile acyl glucuronide metabolite. Plasma is then deproteinated with acetonitrile, dried and reconstituted for injection, whereas urine samples are simply diluted prior to injection on HPLC. m-Hydroxybenzoic acid served as the internal standard. Recoveries from plasma were greater than 85% for all four compounds over a range of 0.2–20 μg/ml and linearity was observed from 0.1–200 μg/ml and 5–2000 μg/ml for SA in plasma and urine, respectively. The method was validated to 0.2 μg/ml, thus allowing accurate measurement of SA, and three major metabolites in plasma and urine of subjects and small animals administered salicylates. The method is unique by allowing quantitation of reactive SAG in plasma at levels well below 1% that of the parent compound, SA, as is observed in patients administered salicylates.  相似文献

The rate of decomposition of phosphoserine and phosphothreonine, both as free O-phosphoamino acids and in peptides, was studied under conditions of acid hydrolysis, using 1, 2, and 6 n HCl at 110°C. For the free O-phosphoamino acids, the decomposition follows first-order kinetics and is two- to fourfold faster for phosphoserine than phosphothreonine. The rate of destruction of these O-phosphoamino acids during hydrolysis of peptides is dependent on the neighboring amino acid residues, and thus the hydrolysis of a free O-phosphoamino acid generally is not a good model for the hydrolysis of that O-phosphoamino acid in a peptide. For the three peptides studied, maximal recoveries of O-phosphoamino acids are obtained after hydrolysis in 6 n HCl for 2 to 4 hr.  相似文献

Twenty-one species, belonging to the genus Phacus, were identified during the study of samples from the central region of Portugal collected in lentic systems. The abundance of each taxon was determined. Water samples were taken for determination, by means of standard methods, of physicochemical parameters (water temperature, pH, organic matter (K2Cr2O7), conductivity, alkalinity, nitrogen as N(NH4+), N(NO2) and N(NO3), orthophosphate P(PO43–) and metals in a total of 35 parameters). Some species were found more frequently, namely Phacus agilis Skuja, Ph. aenigmaticus Drez., Ph. caudatus Hübn., Ph. gigas Da Cunha, Ph. triqueter (Ehr.) Duj., Ph. longicauda (Ehr.) Duj. and Ph. tortus (Lemm.) Skv. Eighteen taxa were found in the sampling sites characterized by the following variation intervals of the environmental parameters: water temperature: 11.4–21.6 °C; pH: 6.2–7.5; dichromate oxidability: 10–59 mg l–1; conductivity: 145–779 μS cm–1; nitrogen as NO3: n.d.–2.852 mg l–1; orthophosphate: n.d.–0.892 mg l–1; chloride: 14.2–109.3 mg l–1; sodium: 10.3–47.5 mg l–1 and total iron: 135–6446 μg l–1. In this work, information concerning the environmental conditions that preceded the occurrence of these species as well as results of the cytological and morphologic studies (with bright field microscopy as a resource) is presented and discussed.  相似文献

An attempt was made to establish a method for the simultaneous determination of urinary concentrations of phenol, o-, p- and m-cresols, 1 and 2-naphthol and xylenol isomers by capillary gas chromatography. Urine samples were extracted after acid hydrolysis of glucuronides and sulfates by solid-phase extraction. The ten substances were separated gas chromatographically using a capillary column (Ultra 2) of cross-linked 5% phenylmethyl silicone. Calibration graphs were linear for 5–100 μg/ml of all the phenols determined. The corresponding detection limits for phenolic compounds varied from 0.1 to 0.2 μg/ml. The relative standard deviations for samples in urine were in the range 2.6–16.6% and the accuracy was in the range 1.4–25%. Recoveries were generally over 80%.  相似文献

Both ellagic and gallic acids non competitively inhibited guaiacol oxidation by turnip peroxidase. The Ki values were 3 and 26 μm for ellagic and gallic acid respectively. Enzymatic oxidation of gallic acid by the isolated major turnip peroxidase was characterized with respect to spectral behaviour, affinity constant and pH effect. The Km for H2O2 and gallic acid are 2.5 and 8.0 mM for turnip peroxidase. The pH optimum for gallic acid oxidation is about 6.5 and the rate constant k4 decreased with the increase of pH in presence of both guaiacol and Gallic acid. When the gallic acid oxidation products were subjected to chromatographic analysis, it was found to be converted mainly to ellagic and an unknown quinone.  相似文献

Seven phenolic compounds (ferulic acid, caffeic acid, 4-methoxycinnamic acid, 3,4-dimethoxycinnamic acid, 3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxypropiophenone and 1-O,2-O-digalloyl-6-O-trans-p-coumaroyl-β-D-glucopyranoside), a flavanonol (7-O-methylaromadendrin), two lignans (pinoresinol and matairesinol) and six diterpenic acids/alcohol (19-acetoxy-13-hydroxyabda-8(17),14-diene, totarol, 7-oxodehydroabietic acid, dehydroabietic acid, communic acid and isopimaric acid) were isolated from the hydroalcoholic extract of a Brazilian Brown Propolis and characterized by NMR spectral data analysis. The volatile fraction of brown propolis was characterized by CG-MS, composed mainly of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, being the major α-pinene (18.4 %) and β-pinene (10.3 %). This propolis chemical profile indicates that Pinus spp., Eucalyptus spp. and Araucaria angustifolia might be its primary plants source. The brown propolis displayed significant activity against Plasmodium falciparum D6 and W2 strains with IC50 of 5.3 and 9.7 μg/mL, respectively. The volatile fraction was also active with IC50 of 22.5 and 41.8 μg/mL, respectively. Among the compounds, 1-O,2-O-digalloyl-6-O-trans-p-coumaroyl-β-D-glucopyranoside showed IC50 of 3.1 and 1.0 μg/mL against D6 and W2 strains, respectively, while communic acid showed an IC50 of 4.0 μg/mL against W2 strain. Cytotoxicity was determined on four tumor cell lines (SK-MEL, KB, BT-549, and SK-OV-3) and two normal renal cell lines (LLC-PK1 and VERO). Matairesinol, 7-O-methylaromadendrin, and isopimaric acid showed an IC50 range of 1.8–0.78 μg/mL, 7.3–100 μg/mL, and 17–18 μg/mL, respectively, against the tumor cell lines but they were not cytotoxic against normal cell lines. The crude extract of brown propolis displayed antimicrobial activity against C. neoformans, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and P. aeruginosa at 29.9 μg/mL, 178.9 μg/mL, and 160.7 μg/mL, respectively. The volatile fraction inhibited the growth of C. neoformans at 53.0 μg/mL. The compounds 3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxypropiophenone and 7-oxodehydroabietic acid were active against C. neoformans, and caffeic and communic acids were active against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.  相似文献

A new α-D-glucan, designated elsinan, has been isolated from the culture filtrate of Elsinoe leucospila grown in potato extract-sucrose medium. Acid hydrolysis of the methylated polysaccharide gave 2,3,6- and 2,4,6-tri-O-methyl-D-glucose, in the ratio of 2.5:1.0, together with small proportions of 2,3,4,6-tetra- (0.7%) and 2,4-di-O-methyl-D-glucose (0.5%), indicating that the glucan is an essentially linear polymer containing (1→4)- and (1→3)-α-D-glucosidic linkages. Periodate oxidation, followed by borohydride reduction and mild hydrolysis with acid (mild Smith degradation) yielded 2-O-α-D-glucosyl-D-erythritol and erythritol, in the molar ratio of 1.0:1.4, and a trace of glycerol. Partial acid hydrolysis, and also acetolysis, of elsinan gave nigerose, maltose, O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl (1→4)-D-glucopyranose, O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-D-glucopyranose, maltotriose, and a small proportion of maltotetraose. It is concluded that elsinan is composed mainly of maltotriose residues joined by α-(1→3)-linkages, in the sequence →3)-α-D-Glcp-(1→4)-α-D-Glcp-(1→.The unique structural features of elsinan are discussed in comparison with other glucans.  相似文献

The effects of alpha-ecdysone (α-E), beta-ecdysone (β-E), and larval fat body on morphogenesis and total RNA synthesis in wing imaginal disks of Galleria mellonella were studied. Both ecdysones induce morphogenesis of disks in vitro. Alpha-ecdysone and β-E (0·3–3·0 μg/ml) stimulate RNA synthesis 30 and 60 per cent above control levels, respectively. While less α-E (0·3 μg/ml) is required to increase RNA synthesis than to induce morphogenesis, the reverse is true for β-E. Morphogenesis (i.e. tracheole migration and evagination) can proceed in the presence of concentrations of β-E (0·03 μg/ml) that are subthreshold for the induction of RNA synthesis (0·3 μg/ml). We conclude, therefore, that the increase in total RNA (presumbly ribosomal) is unrelated to and not a prerequisite for tracheole migration or evagination. If morphogenically active preconditioned medium (i.e. medium in which α-E and fat body have been incubated for 48 hr and the fat body then removed) is added to disk cultures, RNA synthesis is not stimulated. Apparently, increases in total RNA caused by both ecdysones may not be necessary for early in vitro disk development. The independent nature of some ecdysone-induced events and implications of our conclusions are discussed.  相似文献

The structure of the capsular polysaccharide (S-XIX) of Pneumococcus Type XIX, which contains residues of d-glucose, l-rhamnose, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy- d-mannose, and phosphate, has been investigated by acid hydrolysis, treatment with acid phosphatase, mass spectrometry, and 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy. Phosphoric esters in S-XIX were largely resistant to hydrolysis (4M HCl, 100°, 3 h). With M or 2M HCl at 100° for 3 h, 4-O-(2-amino-2-deoxy-β-d-mannopyranosyl)-d-glucose 4′-phosphate was liberated. More-drastic hydrolysis of S-XIX gave 2-amino-2-deoxy-d-mannose 3-, 4-, and 6-phosphates, and 4-O-(2-amino-2-deoxy-d-mannopyranosyl)-d-glucose and its 4′-phosphate.  相似文献

An isoenzyme of human liver acid phosphatase (orthophosphoric monoester phosphohydrolase (acid optimum), EC 3.1.3.2) has been purified 4560-fold to homogeneity. The purification procedure includes ammonium sulfate fractionation, acid treatment, ion exchange chromatography on O-(carboxymethyl)-cellulose and DEAE-cellulose, Sephacryl S-200 chromatography, and affinity chromatography on Concanavalin A-Sepharose 4B. The homogeneous enzyme is a glycoprotein having 4% carbohydrate by weight in the form of mannose and glucosamine. In polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under varied conditions of pH and cross-linking, the purified enzyme displays a single protein band coincident with activity. The native enzyme has a molecular weight of 93,000 as determined by gel elution chromatography and consists of two equivalent polypeptide chains. The subunit weight is 50,000–52,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. l-(+)-Tartrate is a strong competitive inhibitor of the enzyme; Ki is 4.3 × 10?7m at pH 4.8 in 50 mm sodium acetate/100 mm sodium chloride. Ki values for a number of other inhibitors are given. Although it catalyzes the hydrolysis of a variety of phosphomonoesters, this isoenzyme of human liver acid phosphatase does not hydrolyze adenosine 5′-diphosphate, adenosine 5′-triphosphate, pyrophosphate, or choline phosphate at a detectable rate. The values of V differ with different alcohol or phenol leaving groups. The pH dependence of Km and V values for the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate have been determined together with the pH dependence of Ki for l-(+)-tartrate. The pH dependence of both Km and V indicate the effect of substrate ionization (pK ~ 5.2) and the involvement of a group in the EScomplex having a pKa value of approximately 6–7 which is ascribed either to a phosphoryl-enzyme intermediate or to the ionization of substrate in the ES-complex. An irreversible modification of the enzyme and a rapid loss of enzymic activity occurs upon treatment of the enzyme with Woodward's reagent K. The enzyme is protected against inactivation by the presence of competitive inhibitors. These and other data suggest that at least one carboxylic acid group plays an important role in catalysis.  相似文献

A fully validated gas chromatographic–tandem mass spectrometric (GC–MS–MS) method is described for the accurate determination of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in human plasma after a single low-dose oral administration of aspirin or guaimesal, an ASA releasing prodrug. ASA and the newly prepared O-[2H3]-acetylsalicylic acid (d3-ASA) used as internal standard were determined in 100-μl aliquots of plasma by extractive pentafluorobenzyl (PFB) esterification using PFB bromide and tetrabutylammoniumhydrogen sulphate as the esterifying and ion-pairing agent, respectively, and by GC–MS–MS analysis in the negative-ion chemical ionization mode. The overall relative standard deviations were below 8% for ASA levels in the range 0–1 μg/ml plasma. Mean accuracy was 3.8% for ASA levels within the range 0–100 ng/ml. The limit of quantitation of the method was determined as 200 pg/ml ASA at an accuracy of 5.5% and a precision of 15.2%. The limit of detection was determined as 546 amol of ASA at a signal-to-noise ratio of 10:1.  相似文献

A micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC) method was developed for the separation of the 3-O-glucuronides of entacapone and its (Z)-isomer, the two main urinary metabolites of entacapone in humans. Entacapone is a novel, potent inhibitor of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) intended for use as an adjunct in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Urine samples spiked with synthetic 3-O-glucuronides were used to study the effects of running buffer pH, composition and applied voltage on separation of the closely migrating glucuronides. The 3-O-glucuronide of nitecapone, was used as internal standard. The greatest improvement in separation was achieved by increasing the running buffer ionic concentration. Changes in pH had little effect on the separation, whereas increase in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) concentration slightly improved resolution. Baseline separation and good selectivity relative to urine components were achieved by using a phosphate (25 mM)–borate (50 mM)–SDS (20 mM) running buffer, pH 7.0, in a 75 μm×60/67 cm fused-silica capillary at 15 kV and a 335 nm cut-off filter in the UV detector. The limits of detection (LOD) at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3 were about 0.25 μg/ml (5.2·10 −7M) (injection 0.5 p.s.i./8 s). The linear detection range was 2–100 μg/ml (r2>0.999). Good repeatability of injection and relative migration times were obtained.  相似文献
