A polysaccharide, Ci-3, resembling isolichenan except with a much higher degree of polymerization, has been isolated from the water extract, as well as from the alkali extract, of the lichen Cetraria islandica (L.) using ethanol fractionation, dialysis, ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration. The mean M(r) of Ci-3 was determined to be 2000 kD, compared to 6-8 kD reported for isolichenan. The structure of Ci-3 was elucidated and found to be composed of (1-->3)- and (1-->4)-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl units in the ratio of 2:1, using methanolysis, methylation analysis, optical rotation and NMR spectroscopy. The immunomodulating activity of Ci-3 was tested in an in vitro phagocytosis assay and anti-complementary, and proved to be active in both tests. 相似文献

Liver microsomal hydroxylation of 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-1-nitrosourea was shown to occur on the cyclohexyl ring at positions 3 and 4. Four metabolites were isolated by selective solvent extraction and purifed by high-pressure liquid chromatography. cis-4-, trans-4-, cis-3-, and trans-3-OH derivatives of 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-1-nitrosourea were synthesized and their chromatographic, mass spectral, and nuclear magnetic resonance characteristics matched those of the metabolites. The position of ring hydroxylation and the identity of each geometric isomer were established by nuclear magnetic resonance using a shift reagent in conjunction with spin decoupling techniques. Microsomes from rats pretreated with phenobarbital showed a sixfold increase in hydroxylation rate (19.5 vs. 3.3 nmol per mg per min). The induction was quite selective for cis-4 hydroxylation (19-fold); however, induction of trans-4 (threefold), cis-3 (threefold), and trans-3 (twofold) hydroxylation did occur. Quantitatively the cis-4-hydroxy metabolite was 67of the total product by phenobarbital-induced microsomes and 21% for normal microsomes. Microsomes from animals pretreated wit- 3-methyl-cholanthrene gave about the same rate and product distribution that normal microsomes gave. A mixture of 80% carbon monoxide-20% oxygen inhibited formation of all four hydroxy metabolites with the inhibition ranging from 55 to 78%. 相似文献

For the characterization of the supposed epitope of an arabinogalactan, isolated from the extract of the cell-cultured Echinacea purpurea, the title hexasaccharide was synthesized. The whole synthetic route was based on the 6-O-(methoxydimethyl)methyl ether (MIP) protecting group strategy. 2-O-Benzyl-3,4-O-isopropylidene-6-O-(methoxydimethyl)methyl-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->6)-1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-galactopyranose was used to prepare the desired glycosyl donor and glycosyl acceptor both carrying a persistent O-benzyl group at position 2'. Reaction of the digalactose donor and the digalactose acceptor resulted in a beta-(1-->6)-linked galactose-containing tetrasaccharide in which OH-2' and OH-2"' were substituted with benzyl groups. Hydrogenolytic removal of the benzyl groups of the tetragalactose compound gave the diol aglycon which was diarabinosylated in one step to furnish the protected target compound, whose deprotection led to the title hexasaccharide. All of the synthesized compounds were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectra, as well as by MALDI-TOF mass-spectrometry measurements. 相似文献

Irradiation of the ZZ stereoisomer of 1,4-di-(2'-quinolylethenyl)-benzene was found to cause direct adiabatic (one photon-two bond) isomerization to a product having the same lifetime as the EE isomer but a rather different spectrum with respect to that obtained by direct excitation of the EE one. To clarify this unexpected behaviour, the conformational equilibria of the EE stereoisomer have been studied in non-polar solvent by fluorimetry. The most abundant conformers, formed by the hindered rotation of the condensed-ring groups around the quasi-single bond with the ethenic carbons, have been characterized by the selective effect of the excitation energy on the fluorescence spectrum. The combined application of the principal component analysis allowed the separation of the spectral properties of three conformers to be achieved. Information on their structures was obtained by theoretical calculations. The results of the present conformational study clearly indicated that the fluorescence spectrum of the photoproduct of ZZ belongs to a specific component of the conformer mixture of the EE isomer. 相似文献

Two series of 1-(3-aminomethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-pyridinyl-2-propen-1-ones, designed as novel cytotoxins, were synthesized. The compounds had low CC50 values in the micromolar range against HL-60 promyelocytic leukemic cells and HSC-2, HSC-3 and HSC-4 oral squamous cell carcinomas. The CC50 values of these compounds were higher towards non-malignant HGF (gingival fibroblasts), HPC (pulp cells), and HPLF (periodontal ligament fibroblasts) cells, which reveals the tumour-selectivity of these enones. A representative compound 4c caused cleavage of PARP1 in HSC-2 cells but not in HGF cells, which may be a contributing factor to the tumour-selectivity. 相似文献

(1-->3)-beta-D-Glucans have been recognized as a potential causative agent responsible for bioaerosol-induced respiratory symptoms observed in both indoor and occupational environments. A specific enzyme immunoassay was developed to quantify (1-->6) branched, (1-->3)-beta-D-glucans in environmental samples. The assay was based on the use of a high-affinity receptor (galactosyl ceramide) specific for (1-->3)-beta-D-glucans as a capture reagent and a monoclonal antibody specific for fungal cell wall beta-D-glucans as a detector reagent. The assay was highly specific for (1-->6) branched, (1-->3)-beta-D-glucans (such as that from Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and did not show any response at 200 ng/ml to curdlan, laminarin, pustulan, dextran, mannan, carboxymethyl cellulose, and endotoxins. The detection level was 0.8 ng/ml for baker's yeast glucan and Betafectin. A coefficient of variation of 7.8% was obtained for (1-->3)-beta-D-glucans in house dust samples. Metal working fluids spiked with (1-->3)-beta-D-glucans inhibited the glucan assay. Because the assay is specific for (1-->6) branched, (1-->3)-beta-D-glucans and is sensitive and reproducible, it will be useful for the investigation of health effects from exposure to this class of biologically active molecules. 相似文献

A continuous-rate assay for the detection of esterases which hydrolyze synthetic pyrethroids is described. The assay is based on the release of p-nitrophenolate ion upon hydrolysis of the pyrethroid-like compound, trans- or cis-p-nitrophenyl-(1R,S)-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2, 2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate, at pH 7.4 where spontaneous hydrolysis is not detected. The reagent is solubilized by 0.02% Triton X-100 in the presence of 1.0% ethanol. A simple procedure for the synthesis and separation of the isomers is described. The application of the reagent to the assay of esterases which detoxify synthetic pyrethroids in the cattle tick Boophilus microplus is reported. 相似文献

In a search for novel analogues of β3-adrenoceptor (AR) agonists relaxing the bladder for treatment of urinary dysfunction, 2-[4-(2-{[(1S,2R)-2-hydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-methylethyl]amino}ethyl)phenoxy]-2-methylpropionic acids (1a–e), into which a fibrate-like structure had been incorporated, were synthesised. Compound 1a was found to be a selective β3-AR agonist in functional assays using the ferret detrusor (β3-AR), rat uterus (β2-AR), and rat atrium (β1-AR); β3: EC50=7.8 nM, β2: IC50=7,300 nM, β1: EC20=23,000 nM. The introduction of a chlorine atom or methyl substituent at the ortho-position on the phenyl ring of 1a further improved β3-AR selectivity. In an in vivo study, 1a lowered intrabladder pressure (ED50=31 μg/kg) in rats, without increasing heart rate, in keeping with the in vitro results. Consequently, it is proposed that 1a and its analogues (1b–e), possess β3-AR agonistic activity in the absence of undesirable β1- or β2-AR mediated actions, and may be useful for clinical treatment and pharmacological studies. 相似文献

(E)-2-(2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)hydrazono)-1-phenylbutane-1,3-dione (H2L) was synthesized by azocoupling of diazonium salt of 2-hydroxyaniline with 1-phenylbutane-1,3-dione and characterized by IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopies and X-ray diffraction analysis. In solution, H2L exists as a mixture of the enol-azo and hydrazone tautomeric forms and a decrease of temperature and of solvent polarity shifts the tautomeric balance to the hydrazone form. In the solid state, H2L crystallizes from ethanol-water in the monohydrate hydrazone form, as shown by X-ray analysis. The dissociation constants of H2L (pK1 = 5.98 ± 0.04, pK2 = 9.72 ± 0.03) and the stability constants of its copper(II) complex (log β1 = 11.01 ± 0.07, log β2 = 20.19 ± 0.08) were determined by the potentiometric method in aqueous-ethanol solution. The copper(II) complex [Cu2(μ-L)2]n was isolated in the solid state and found by X-rays to be a coordination polymer of a binuclear core with a distorted square pyramidal metal coordination geometry. 相似文献

Synthases of cellulose, chitin, hyaluronan, and all other polymers containing (1-->4)beta-linked glucosyl, mannosyl and xylosyl units have overcome a substrate orientation problem in catalysis because the (1-->4)beta-linkage requires that each of these sugar units be inverted nearly 180 degrees with respect to its neighbors. We and others have proposed that this problem is solved by two modes of glycosyl transfer within a single catalytic subunit to generate disaccharide units, which, when linked processively, maintain the proper orientation without rotation or re-orientation of the synthetic machinery in 3-dimensional space. A variant of the strict (1-->4)beta-D-linkage structure is the mixed-linkage (1-->3),(1-->4)beta-D-glucan, a growth-specific cell wall polysaccharide found in grasses and cereals. beta-Glucan is composed primarily of cellotriosyl and cellotetraosyl units linked by single (1-->3)beta-D-linkages. In reactions in vitro at high substrate concentration, a polymer composed of almost entirely cellotriosyl and cellopentosyl units is made. These results support a model in which three modes of glycosyl transfer occur within the synthase complex instead of just two. The generation of odd numbered units demands that they are connected by (1-->3)beta-linkages and not (1-->4)beta-. In this short review of beta-glucan synthesis in maize, we show how such a model not only provides simple mechanisms of synthesis for all (1-->4)beta-D-glycans but also explains how the synthesis of callose, or strictly (1-->3)beta-D-glucans, occurs upon loss of the multiple modes of glycosyl transfer to a single one. 相似文献

A high pH anion exchange chromatographic (HPAEC) system for the separation of isomeric sialo-oligosaccharide products was developed. Employing this system, using Gal beta 1-->4GlcNAc beta 1-->2Man alpha 1-->6Man beta 1-->4GlcNAc as a substrate, a Gal beta 1-->4GlcNAc-R alpha 2-->3-sialyltransferase activity was detected for the first time in human liver. This activity is expressed together with the prevalent alpha 2-->6-sialyltransferase. Furthermore, in addition to the major alpha 2-->3-sialyltransferase, a low but distinct activity of alpha 2-->6-sialyltransferase was detected in human placenta. This activity could not be found by methods based on methylation analysis or high resolution NMR spectroscopy. It is concluded that HPAEC, in combination with the use of the pentasaccharide as an acceptor substrate, is suited for the specific detection of minor, Gal beta 1-->4GlcNAc-specific sialyltransferase activities. 相似文献

Propyl and 2-aminoethyl alpha-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->3')-beta-lactosides (1 and 2) were prepared from the corresponding perbenzylated trisaccharide allyl glycoside 6 which, in turn, was obtained by methyl triflate promoted alpha-galactosylation of benzylated allyl lactoside acceptor 4 with thiogalactoside 3. Transformation of the allyl moiety in compound 6 into 2-azidoethyl one was achieved by cleavage of the double bond followed by reduction into alcohol 9, subsequent mesylation, and mesylate-->azide substitution. Alternatively trisaccharide 2 was synthesized using alpha-galactosylation of selectively benzoylated 2-azidoethyl lactoside 19 with 3 as the key step. 相似文献

We have explored the synthesis of compounds that have good affinity for both mu- and delta-opioid receptors from the (alphaR,2S,5S) class of diaryldimethylpiperazines. These non-selective compounds were related to opioids that have been found to interact selectively with mu- or delta-opioid receptors as agonists or antagonists. In our initial survey, we found two compounds, (+)-4-[(alphaR)-alpha-(4-allyl-(2S,5S)-dimethylpiperazin-1-yl)-(3-hydroxyphenyl)methyl]-N-ethyl-N-phenylbenzamide (14) and its N-H relative, (-)-4-[(alphaR)-alpha-(2S,5S)-dimethylpiperazin-1-yl)-(3-hydroxyphenyl)methyl]-N-ethyl-N-phenylbenzamide (15), that interacted with delta-receptors with good affinity, and, as we hoped, with much higher affinity at mu-receptors than SNC80. The relative configuration of the benzylic position in (+)-4-[(alphaR)-alpha-(4-allyl-(2S,5S)-dimethyl-1-piperazinyl)-(3-methoxyphenyl)methyl]-benzyl alcohol (10) was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis of a crystal that was an unresolved twin. The absolute stereochemistry of that benzylic stereogenic center was unequivocally derived by the X-ray crystallographic analysis from the two other centers of asymmetry in the molecule that were known. Those were established from the synthesis via a dipeptide cyclo-L-Ala-L-Ala in which the absolute stereochemistry was established. 相似文献

Structure-activity relationships at the 2alpha-position of the piperidine ring of the trans-4,5-dimethyl-4-(3-hydroxyphenyl)piperidine mu-opioid antagonist series were investigated. This study showed that only small linear alkyl groups (methyl, propyl) are tolerated at the 2alpha-position of the piperidine ring of this series. 相似文献

Previously it was found that 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde is a competitive inhibitor of GABA transaminase. Here 3-chloro-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propan-1-one (9), a 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde analogue, was found to inactivate potently the enzyme in a time-dependent manner. α-Ketoglutarate prevented the enzyme from inactivation, suggesting that the inactivation occurs in its active site. Several experiments indicated that the inactivation is irreversible. This study provides a novel strategy for the design of more effective inhibitors. 相似文献

Preliminary differentiating screening of the antibacterial and antifungal activity of a series of diastereomeric cis/trans-3-aryl(heteroaryl)-3,4-dihydroisocoumarin-4-carboxylic acids (3a-i) was performed by the agar diffusion method against twelve microorganism strains of different taxonomic groups. S. aureus and A. niger were the most sensitive strains to the antibiotic effect of the tested compounds, both inhibited by 10 of 12 compounds. The most potent antibacterial agent was cis-3-phenyl-3,4-dihydroisocoumarin-4-carboxylic acid (cis-3a), exhibiting activity against all seven bacterial test strains. 相似文献

In rats trained to discriminate the prototypic sigma receptor agonist, (+)-N-Allylnormetazocine [(+)-N-Allylnormetazocine [(+)-NANM/SKF 10,047], from saline, the (+)- but not the (-)-isomer of 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-N-(1-propyl)piperidine (3-PPP) produced (+)-NANM-like discriminative stimuli. (+)-3-PPP binds stereo selectively to the (+)-NANM binding site, but not to the phencyclidine binding site. Additionally, phencyclidine was found to produce (+)-NANM-like discriminative stimuli. Although the 3-PPP isomers were shown to produce changes in central dopaminergic activity (Hjorth et al. Life Sci 37, 673, 1985), the discriminative stimulus properties of (+)-3-PPP are apparently not mediated via the dopaminergic system. This hypothesis is supported by the fact that apomorphine did not produce (+)-NANM-like discriminative stimuli. These stimuli are thus non-dopaminergic and may be due to the (+)-3-PPP actions at the sigma binding site. However, it is possible that (+)-NANM, PCP, and (+)-3-PPP may have common non-sigma pharmacologic properties that account for the similar discriminative stimulus properties of these compounds. 相似文献
