An efficient method for the preparation of optically active alkyl (R)-(-)-3-hydroxybutyrates by chemical depolymerization of biopolymer, poly-(R)-(-)-(3-hydroxybutyrate), was established. This method consists of simple recovery of poly-(R)-(-)-(3-hydroxybutyrate) from bacterial cells followed by acidic alcoholysis. When poly-(R)-(-)-(3-hydroxybutyrate) was purified by a simple digestion method that used 0.2 N sodium hydroxide, alkyl (R)-(-)-hydroxybutyrates were most efficiently produced by alcoholysis with anhydrous hydrochloric acid.  相似文献

Microbial hydroxylation of (+/-)-(2Z,4E)-5-(1',2'-epoxy-2',6',6'-trimethylcyclohexyl)-3-methyl-2,4-pentadienoic acid (3a) with Cercospora cruenta, a fungus producing (+)-abscisic acid, gave a four-stereoisomeric mixture consisting of (+)- and (-)-xanthoxin acid (4a), and (+)- and (-)-epi-xanthoxin acid (5a) by an HPLC analysis with a chiral column. Screening of the microorganisms capable of oxidizing (+/-)-3a showed that Cunninghamella echinulata stereoselectively oxidized (+/-)-3a to xanthoxin acid (4a) with the some degree of enantioselectivity as (-)-3a to (-)-4a.  相似文献

It remains controversial whether deficiency of the Niemann-Pick C1 (npc1) protein results in altered cholesterol signaling at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In this report, we have measured the processed, nuclear form of sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP)-1 in livers of npc1 wild-type, heterozygous, and homozygous deficient mice, alone, and in combination with deficiencies of the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) or the multiple drug resistant (mdr)1a, P-glycoprotein. Cleavage of SREBPs to activated forms normally occurs when the ER is deficient in cholesterol. A large decrease in processed SREBP-1 was evident in fasted npc1(-/-) mice and npc1(-/-), mdr1a(-/-) mice, with no decrease evident in npc1(-/-), LDLR(-/-) mice. These results suggest that the increase in cellular cholesterol which occurs in npc1(-/-) and in npc1(-/-), mdr1a(-/-) mice includes the sites responsible for cholesterol signaling, while the similar increase in cholesterol found in npc1(-/-), LDLR(-/-) mice does not.  相似文献

(+/-)-5-Acetoxy-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-phenylisoxazolidine has been synthesised by a highly diastereoselective [3+2] cycloaddition reaction between alpha-(4-fluorophenyl)-N-phenylnitrone and vinyl acetate in good yield. Candida rugosa lipase catalyses the deacetylation of this (+/-)-5-acetoxyisoxazolidine in a highly enantioselective fashion in diisopropyl ether containing n-butanol affording (-)-5-acetoxy-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-phenylisoxazolidine in 43% yield and >99% ee.  相似文献

The new pyridyl imidazolidinone derivative, 1-[5-(4'-chlorobiphenyl-4-yloxy)-3-methylpentyl]-3-pyridin-4-yl-imidazolidin-2-one (+/-)-1a, was synthesized and found to have an excellent antiviral activity against EV71 (IC50 = 0.009 microM). Therefore, both the enantiomers, (S)-(+)-1a and (R)-(-)-1a, have been prepared starting from readily available monomethyl (R)-3-methylglutarate (7) as a useful chiral building block and their antiviral activity was evaluated in a plaque reduction assay. Interestingly, we observed that the enantiomer (S)-(+)-1a was 10-fold more active against enterovirus71 (EV71) (IC50 = 0.003 microM) than the corresponding enantiomer (R)-(-)-1a (IC50 = 0.033 microM). Similar results were found against all five strains (1743, 2086, 2231, 4643, and BrCr) of EV71 tested. This demonstrated that the absolute configuration of the chiral carbon atom at the 3-position of the alkyl linker considerably influenced the anti-EV71 activity of these pyridyl imidazolidinones.  相似文献

1-(2,6-Difluorobenzyl)-3-[(2R)-amino-2-phenethyl]-5-(2-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)-6-methyluracil (6), a potent and orally active antagonist of the human gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor, exists as a pair of atropisomers in solution, which was detected by NMR spectroscopy, and separable by HPLC. In addition to a (R)-configured benzylamine, there is a second stereogenic element due to the presence of a chiral axis between the substituted 5-phenyl group and the uracil core. The rate constant of the interconversion (k = 5.07 x 10(-5) s(-1)) of these two atropisomers was determined by proton NMR analysis of a diastereoisomer-enriched sample in aqueous solution at 25 degrees C, and the corresponding Gibbs free energy DeltaG(#) of rotation barrier (97.4 kJ mol(-1)) was calculated using the Eyring equation. The diastereoisomer half-life at physiological temperature (37 degrees C) in aqueous media was estimated to be about 46 min.  相似文献

Abstract

Carbocyclic (+)- and (-)-(E)-5- (2-bromovinyl)-2′-deoxyuridlne have been prepared from (+)- and (-)-endo-norborn-5-en-2-y1 butyrate. In cell cultures both (+)- and (-)-C-BVDU showed activity against herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, (+)-C-BVDU being only slightly less active than BVDU itself. (-)-C-BVDU gave a smaller but still significant antiviral effect. A nomenclature for carbocyclic nucleosides is proposed.  相似文献

In order to elucidate the structure-antibiotic activity relationships of the peptides, the three-dimensional structures of two hybrid peptides, CA(1-8) - MA(1-12) and CA(1-8) - ME(1-12) in trifluoroethanol-containing aqueous solution were investigated by NMR spectroscopy. Both CA(1-8) - MA(1-12) and CA(1-8) - ME(1-12) have strong antibacterial activity but only CA(1-8) - ME(1-12) has hemolytic activity against human erythrocytes. CA(1-8) - MA(1-12) has a hydrophobic 310-helix of only two turns combined with one short helix in the N-terminus with a flexible hinge section in between. CA(1-8) - MA(1-12) has a severely bent structure in the middle of the peptide. These structural features as well as the low hydrophobicity of CA(1-8) - MA(1-12) seem to be crucial for the selective lysis against the membrane of prokaryotic cells. CA(1-8) - ME(1-12) has an alpha-helical structure of about three turns in the melittin domain and a flexible structure with one turn in the cecropin domain connected with a flexible hinge section in between, and these might be the structural features required for membrane disruption against prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The central hinge region (Gly9-Ile10-Gly11) in an amphipathic antibacterial peptide is considered to play an important role in providing the conformational flexibility required for ion channel formation of the C-terminal hydrophobic alpha-helix on cell membrane.  相似文献

An efficient and facile synthesis of a large series of diverse 6-[2-(dialkylamino)vinyl]-, 6-[2-(dialkylamino)ethyl]-, 6-(2-alkoxyethyl)-, and 6-[2-(alkylsulfanyl)ethyl]purine nucleosides (35 examples of both ribo- and 2'-deoxyribonucleosides) was developed. The key transformations involved conjugate nucleophilic additions of amines, alcoholates, or thiolates to Tol-protected 6-alkylylpurine or 6-vinylpurine nucleosides. 6-[(2-Dialkylamino)vinyl]- and some 6-[(2-dialkylamino)ethyl]purine ribonucleosides exerted significant cytostatic effects and some anti-HCV activity with low selectivity.  相似文献

Since Rh: -29, 38 (- - -/- - -, rh) phenotype of the Rh blood groups (--- in text) revealed unusual red cells, such as stomatocytes and microspherocytes and the relatively shortened half life of 17 days, red cell membrane proteins from Rh + (D), Rh - (d) and --- were compared by using SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). No differences were observed among the patterns of the reduced and non-reduced membrane proteins from Rh+, Rh- and --- red cells. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of --- red cell membrane proteins also revealed a pattern similar to Rh+ and Rh- red cell membrane proteins. It is suggested that the lack of all Rh antigens causes no visible alteration of red cell membrane proteins detected by the method of Fairbanks G., Steck T.L. and Wallach D.F.H. (1971) Biochemistry, N.Y. 10, 2606-2617.  相似文献

The synthesis of enantiomerically pure (-)-(S)- and (+)-(R)-2-acyl-3,6-dihydroxycyclohex-2-enone starting from diastereomerically pure N-tosyl-(S)-proline esters 3-methoxy-6-hydroxycyclohex-2-enone 1 is presented. An enantioconvergent synthesis of either (-)-(S)- and (+)-(R)-2-acyl-3,6-dihydroxycyclohex-2-enone starting with the racemic alpha-ketol 1 through a conversion of ( approximately 1:1) mixture of diastereomeric esters into one diastereomer by a repeated crystallization, followed by dimethylaminopyridine-catalyzed equilibration as key steps is described.  相似文献

A series of novel 5-aryl-1-(aryloxyacetyl)-3-(tert-butyl or phenyl)-4-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-4,5-dihydropyrazole 3a-3n were synthesized by the annulation of 2-aryloxyacetohydrazides with 3-aryl-1-t-butyl(or phenyl)-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)prop-2-en-1-ones(1)in the presence of a catalytic amount of acetic acid.Compounds 2 were obtained by the Knoevenagel reactions of 1-t-butyl(or phenyl)-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethanone(2)with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of piperidine.Their structures were confirmed by IR,1H-NMR,ESIMS,and elemental analyses.The preliminary bioassay indicated that some compounds displayed moderate to excellent fungicidal activity.For example,compounds 31,3m,and 3n possessed100%inhibition against Cercospora arachidicola Hori at the concentration of 50 mg/L.  相似文献

By using only reverse-phase h.p.l.c., three fragments of prosomatostatin were isolated from an extract of a human pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour that produced somatostatin, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide and gastrin-releasing peptide. The amino acid composition of the peptides indicated that they represented prosomatostatin-(1-63)-peptide, prosomatostain-(65-76)-peptide and prosomatostatin-(79-92)-peptide (somatostatin-14). The identity of prosomatostatin-(1-63)-peptide was confirmed by characterization of the products of digestion with Armillaria mellea (honey fungus) proteinase. Partial micro-sequencing of prosomatostatin-(1-63)-peptide showed that the Gly24-Ala25 bond of preprosomatostatin was the site of cleavage of the signal peptide. Thus human prosomatostatin is a protein of 92 amino acid residues that is proteolytically cleaved in a pancreatic tumour at the site of a dibasic-residue (arginine-lysine) processing site and at a single-monobasic-residue (arginine) processing site.  相似文献

R-(-)-1-(Benzofuran-2-yl)-2-propylaminopentane HCl, (-)-BPAP, the recently developed selective and much more potent catecholaminergic/serotoninergic enhancer (CAE/SAE) substance than (-)-deprenyl enhances the performance of midbrain neurons, both in vivo and ex vivo, in a characteristic complex manner, presenting one bell shape dose/concentration effect curve in the low nanomolar range and another at higher micromolar range. For example, 4.7 +/- 0.10 nmol/g wet weight noradrenaline was released within 20 min from the quickly removed locus coeruleus of saline treated rats. This amount was increased 30 min after the subcutaneous administration of 0.0005 mg/kg (-)-BPAP to 15.4 +/- 0.55 nmol/g (P < 0.001). However, following the injection of a hundred times higher, 0.05 mg/kg, dose of (-)-BPAP, the amount of noradrenaline (4.3 +/- 0.25 nmol/g) released from the locus coeruleus did not differ from the control value. In ex vivo experiments, when the isolated locus coeruleus was soaked in an organ bath containing (-)-BPAP, the release of noradrenaline was significantly enhanced from 10(-16) M concentration, reached a peak effect at 10(-13) M concentration, but 10(-10) M (-)-BPAP was ineffective. A significant enhancer effect was detected also in the high concentration range from 10(-8) M, the peak effect was reached at 10(-6) M concentration and 10(-5) M (-)-BPAP was ineffective. (-)-BPAP enhanced in the low concentration range the performance of dopaminergic and serotoninergic neurons with a peak effect at 10(-13) and 10(-12) M concentration, respectively. The results with (-)-BPAP, the highly specific artificial enhancer substance, suggest that (i) high and low affinity "enhancer" receptors may exist in the brain, and (ii) that they may be identified with the recently cloned family of the "trace amine" receptors, activated by beta-phenylethylamine and tryptamine, the prototypes of the endogenous enhancer substances.  相似文献

A novel class of 1-[4-(1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-phenyl]-3-[4-(1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-phenyl]-ureas are described as potent inhibitors of heparanase. Among them are 1,3-bis-[4-(1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-phenyl]-urea (7a) and 1,3-bis-[4-(5,6-dimethyl-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-phenyl]-urea (7d), which displayed good heparanase inhibitory activity (IC(50) 0.075-0.27 microM). Compound 7a showed good efficacy in a B16 metastasis model.  相似文献

Two peptides with vasodilatory properties consisting of amino acids 1-30 and 31-67 of the 98 a.a. N-terminal end of the prohormone of atrial natriuretic factor (proANF) which circulates in man were investigated to determine if they have specific binding sites on membranes isolated from DDT1 MF-2 smooth muscle cells. Smooth muscle is a known biologic target of these peptides. Competitive binding experiments revealed that proANFs (1-30), (31-67), and (99-126) (i.e., C-terminus; ANF) each had specific and separate binding sites. The dissociation constants for proANFs (1-30), (31-67), and (99-126) binding were 0.11 nM, 4 nM, and 7.3 nM, respectively. The binding site concentrations for proANFs (1-30), (31-67), and ANF were 2.57, 59.91 and 40 fmols/10(6) cells, respectively. The number of binding sites per cell were 1548, 36,087, and 24,090, respectively, for proANFs (1-30), (31-67), and (99-126) (ANF). Each peptide bound to DDT1 MF-2 membranes between 10(-8) to 10(-11) M but could only bind to the other peptides' receptors at concentrations of 10(-6) and 10(-7)M. These results suggest that proANF(1-30) and proANF(31-67) do not work through the ANF receptor but rather have their own separate and distinct receptors that mediate their biologic effects.  相似文献

The title compounds, 1a and 1b, have been synthesized in a three-step sequence starting from (-)-(S) and (+)-(R)-propylene oxide, respectively, in acceptable overall yields. The enantiomeric excess values for 1a and 1b were 96% and 93% respectively, as assessed by HPLC analysis on a chiral stationary phase of the corresponding N-acetyl derivatives. The synthetic route herein presented may represent a facile entry to highly enriched mexiletine enantiomers, alternative to those previously reported in the literature.  相似文献

R-(-)-1-(benzofuran-2-yl)-2-propylaminopentane [(-)-BPAP] is a potent "catecholaminergic and serotonergic activity enhancer (CAE/SAE)", which enhances the impulse-evoked catecholamines and serotonin release, e.g. (-)-BPAP enhances in vitro norepinephrine efflux from the slices of locus coeruleus in a bipolar manner with the two effective ranges of low (fM-pM level) and high (nM-microM level) concentrations. Here, the effects of (-)-BPAP and selegiline on the cultured mouse astrocytes were studied. The protein levels of the neurotrophic factors (NGF, BDNF and GDNF) in the conditioned medium of cultured astrocytes were determined by using ELISA. In the cultured astrocytes incubated for 24 h with selegiline, the synthesis of NGF and BDNF was significantly enhanced in the concentration dependent manner, with minimum effective concentrations of 4 x 10(-4) and 5 x 10(-4) M, respectively. (-)-BPAP also enhanced the NGF, BDNF and GDNF synthesis, with minimum effective concentrations of 5 x 10(-5), 1 x 10(-5), and 1 x 10(-6) M, respectively. Although the effects of (-)-BPAP on the NGF synthesis was tested in the range of 1 x 10(-15)-5 x 10(-4) M, the concentration response curve of (-)-BPAP was a single bell shape with the peak effect at 1 x 10(-4) M, and did not show any effects in low concentrations such as fM-pM level. Each concentration response curve of (-)-BPAP on BDNF and GDNF synthesis was a single bell shape with peak effects at 1 x 10(-3) M and 1 x 10(-4) M, respectively.  相似文献

R-(-)-1-(Benzofuran-2-yl)-2-propylaminopentane hydrochloride [(-)-BPAP], a highly potent enhancer of impulse propagation-mediated release of catecholamines and serotonin in the brain, and significantly increased the locomotor activity of normal rats at the doses of 0.3 and 1 mg/kg s.c. (P < 0.05), while L-DOPA (200 and 400 mg/kg i.p.) had no significant effect. The locomotor activity of rats simultaneously administered L-DOPA and (-)-BPAP was significantly higher than with (-)-BPAP alone (P < 0.05). In rats pretreated with reserpine (1 mg/kg i.v.), the hypolocomotion was significantly reversed by 400 mg/kg i.p. L-DOPA, or 1 or 3 mg/kg s.c. (-)-BPAP (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the combined administration of subthreshold doses of 200 mg/kg i.p. L-DOPA and 0.3 mg/kg s.c. (-)-BPAP highly potentiated the locomotor activity in the reserpine-pretreated rats. However, (-)-BPAP failed to reverse the hypolocomotion in rats pretreated with reserpine + alpha-methyl-DL-p-tyrosine. Thus, (-)-BPAP was demonstrated to possess the L-DOPA-sparing effect in normal and reserpine-pretreated rats.  相似文献

Asymmetric total syntheses of acid-sensitive (-)- and (+)-caparrapi oxides (1) and (+)-8-epicaparrapi oxide (2) from farnesol (10) are achieved using Sharpless-Katsuki epoxidation and Lewis acid-assisted chiral Br?nsted acid (chiral LBA)-induced polyene cyclization as key steps. The relative configuration of (+)-dysifragin (4) is determined by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction and its total synthesis is accomplished by the diastereoselective epoxidation of (+)-1. Furthermore, (-)-1 can be directly synthesized from (S)-nerolidol (3) and (R)-LBA with 88% ds by reagent control, which overcame substrate control, while (-)-2 is obtained from (R)-3 and (R)-LBA with >99% ds by the double asymmetric induction.  相似文献
