Synthesis of novel spiro[pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidinones and spiro[benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,3′-indoline]-2′,4(3H)-diones and their evaluation for anticancer activity

An efficient and novel method for the preparation of spiro[pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidin]-7′(1′H)-ones by the condensation of 4-amino-1-methyl-3-propylpyrazole-5-carboxamide with ketones under mild conditions using catalytic InCl₃ was reported. This method has been extended for the synthesis of novel spiro[benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,3′-indoline]-2′,4(3H)-dione which are having potential applications in medicinal chemistry. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anti-proliferative properties in vitro against cancer cell lines and several compounds were found to be active. Further in vitro studies revealed that inhibition of sirtuins could be the possible mechanism of action of these molecules.

Antagonists of 5-HT₆ receptors. Substituted 3-(phenylsulfonyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrido[3,4-e]pyrimidines and 3-(phenylsulfonyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidines-Synthesis and 'structure-activity' relationship

Synthesis and biological evaluation of a new series of structurally unrestricted and intramolecular hydrogen bond restricted derivatives of 3-(phenylsulfonyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrido[3,4-e]pyrimidines (angular tricyclics) and 3-(phenylsulfonyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidines (linear tricyclics) are described. Structurally restricted derivatives are highly potent and selective blockers of 5-HT(6) receptors with little difference between angular or linear shape of the tricyclic core, the angular species being only slightly more potent. The angular representative of 3-(phenylsulfonyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrido[3,4-e]pyrimidines, 5, can be considered as more favorable candidate for further development as it shows only weak 5-HT(2B) blocking activity (IC(50)=6.16 μM as compared with IC(50)=1.8 nM for 5-HT(6) receptors) and very low hERG potassium channel blocking potency (IC(50)=54.2 μM). The linear analog, 11, is less favorable as while showing no binding to the 5-HT(2B) receptor at concentrations of up to 10 μM, it exhibits quite a high potency to block the hERG channel (IC(50)=0.5 μM).

本文报道了用化学半合成途径从天然猪胰岛素制备[B2-Lys]-胰岛素的过程。人胎盘细胞膜胰岛素受体结合试验表明:[B2-Lys]-胰岛素的受体结合能力只有天然胰岛素的80％,降兔血糖作用与时间关系的结果表明它没有长效作用。本文还对这些结果进行了讨论。     

EFFICIENT METHODS FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF [2-15N]GUANOSINE AND 2′-DEOXY[2-15N]GUANOSINE DERIVATIVES

The nucleophilic addition–elimination reaction of 2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetyl-2-fluoro-O ⁶-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl]inosine (8) with [¹⁵N]benzylamine in the presence of triethylamine afforded the N ²-benzyl[2-¹⁵N]guanosine derivative (13) in a high yield, which was further converted into the N ²-benzoyl[2-¹⁵N] guanosine derivative by treatment with ruthenium trichloride and tetrabutyl-ammonium periodate. A similar sequence of reactions of 2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetyl-2-fluoro-O ⁶-[2-(methylthio)ethyl]inosine (9) and the 6-chloro-2-fluoro-9-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)-9H-purine derivative (11), which were respectively prepared from guanosine, with potassium [¹⁵N]phthalimide afforded the N ²-phthaloyl [2-¹⁵N]guanosine derivative (15; 62%) and 9-(2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-6-chloro-2-[¹⁵N]phthalimido-9H-purine (17; 64%), respectively. Compounds 15 and 17 were then efficiently converted into 2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetyl[2-¹⁵N]guanosine. The corresponding 2′-deoxy derivatives (16 and 18) were also synthesized through similar procedures.     

光合作用中的[H]与呼吸作用中的[H]相同吗？

答：这里的[H]并不是指氢离子（H＋）,而是指辅酶中的氢（还原性氢）,[H]的产生与利用即NADH、FADH。和NADPH的产生与利用。光合作用与呼吸作用中产生和利用的[H]不同,光合作用产生及利用NADPH．而呼吸作用产生与利用的[H]主要是NADH与FADH2。

Facile preparation of optically pure [α-2H]-α-amino acids

Summary Racemic [-²H]--amino acids were prepared by heating the corresponding amino acids (Phe, nor-Leu and Dopa) with 0.05 equivalents of benzaldehyde in deuterated-acetic acid. Based on¹H-nmr measurement, the isotopic purities of these racemized [-²H]--amino acids were found to be higher than 99.5%. Methylation of these isotope-labelled amino acids was achieved in methanol/thionyl chloride without affecting isotopic purity. Optically pure [-²H]--amino acids were obtained in high yield with high enantiomeric excess via alcalase catalysed resolution.

N-Phenyl-N′-[4-(5H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-yloxy)phenyl]ureas as novel inhibitors of VEGFR and FGFR kinases

We have recently reported the discovery of pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine derivatives 1a and 1b as potent triple inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), and Tie-2 kinases. To identify compounds having strong inhibitory activity against fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) kinase, further modification was conducted using the co-crystal structure analysis of VEGFR2 and 1b. Among the compounds synthesized, urea derivative 11l having a piperazine moiety on the terminal benzene ring showed strong inhibitory activity against FGFR1 kinase as well as VEGFR2 kinase. A binding model of 11l complexed with VEGFR2 suggested that the piperazine moiety forms additional interactions with Ile1025 and His1026.     

Dynamic NMR structures of [Rp]- and [Sp]-phosphorothioated DNA-RNA hybrids: is flexibility required for RNase H recognition?

Chemically modified DNA oligonucleotides have been crucial to the development of antisense therapeutics. High-resolution structural studies of pharmaceutically relevant derivatives have been limited to only a few molecules. We have used NMR to elucidate the structure in solution of two DNA-RNA hybrids with the sequence d(CCTATAATCC).r(GGAUUAUAGG). The two hybrids contain an unmodified RNA target strand, whereas the DNA strand contains one of two different stereoregular sugar-phosphate backbone linkages at each nucleotide: 1), [Rp]-phosphorothioate or 2), [Sp]-phosphorothioate. Homonuclear two-dimensional spectroscopy afforded nearly complete nonlabile proton assignments. Distance bounds, calculated from the nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) crosspeak intensities via a complete relaxation matrix approach with the program MARDIGRAS, were used to restrain the structure of the two hybrids during simulations of molecular dynamics. Analysis of restrained molecular dynamics trajectories suggests that both hybrids are flexible, requiring the use of molecular dynamics with time-averaged restraints (MDtar) to generate ensembles of structures capable of satisfying the NMR data. In particular, the deoxyribose sugars of the DNA strand show strong evidence of repuckering. Furthermore, deoxyribose sugar repuckering is accompanied by increased flexibility of overall helical geometry. These observations, together with the analysis of the crystal structure of a hybrid duplex in complex with ribonuclease H (RNase H), suggested that this flexibility may be required for recognition by RNase H.

6-chloro-3-β-d-erythrofuranosyl-l-phenyl- and -l-p-tolylpyrazolo-[3,4-b]quinoxaline

The C-nucleoside analogs 6-chloro-3-β-d-erythrofuranosyl-l-phenylpyrazolo-[3,4-b]quinoxaline (5) and 3-β-d-erythrofuranosy]-l-p-tolylpyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoxaline (10) were prepared by dehydration of the polyhydroxyalkyl chain of 6(7)-chlorolo-phenyl-3-(d-arabino-tetritol-l-yl)-pyrazolo(3,4-b]quinoxaline and 3-(d-arbino-tetritol-l-yl)-l-p-tolylpyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoxaline, respectively. The structure and anomeric configuration of 5 and 10 were determined by high-resolution, n.m.r. spectroscopy. The mass spectra and biological activities of some of these compounds are discussed.     

A simple, rapid preparation ofα-[32P]- labelled adenosine diphosphate

Hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1) will convert commercially available α-[³²P]-labelled ATP into α-[³²P]-labelled ADP. A simple, rapid isolation procedure for the α-[³²P]-labelled ADP is described and this synthetic method can be used for the preparation of other α-[³²P]-labelled nucleoside diphosphates.     

In vitro transfer of [32P]-label from α-[32P]-dATP into ribonucleotides

During the incorporation of α-[³²P]-dATP into HeLa cell nuclei some of the [³²P]-label enters ribonucleic acid presumably because of intracellular nucleotide turnover. This result makes the conclusion about the existence of an RNA-DNA covalent linkage, based on the transfer of [³²P]-label from deoxyribonucleotides to ribonucleotides after alkaline hydrolysis of the nuclei acid, untenable.
