Preparation of 6-deoxy-6-fluorocellulose

6-Deoxy-6-fluorocellulose was prepared from cellulose 2,3-diacetate (1) or cellulose 2,3-dibenzoate (2) in various solvents, and was characterized by ¹⁹F and ¹³C NMR measurements. The best product, having ds of 0.95 at C-6 and 0.04 at C-3, was prepared from cellulose 2,3-dibenzoate in nitrobenzene. Other combinations of starting material and solvent gave a lower (≈ 0.8) ds of fluorine at C-6 and higher (≈ 0.12) at C-2 or C-3. Substitution at C-2 was observed when the combination of 1 and 1,4-dioxane, or 2 and chloroform was used. The products substituted at C-2 by fluorine were relatively resistant to acid hydrolysis.     

New 6-butylamino-6-deoxycellulose and 6-deoxy-6-pyridiniumcellulose derivatives with highest regioselectivity and completeness of reaction

This paper investigates the nucleophilic substitution (S(N)) reactions of tosylcellulose with butylamine and pyridine, respectively. The S(N) reactions of tosylcellulose 1 (DS(Total) 2.02; DS(C-6) 1.0) with butylamine carried out at 25, 50, 75 and 100 degrees C in both dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and pure butylamine showed that the regioselectivity of substitution at C-6 of cellulose is temperature dependent: the highest regioselectivity at C-6 can be reached at 25 and 50 degrees C; substitution at C-2 also occurred at 75 and 100 degrees C. The substitution speed in pure butylamine is greater than that in the presence of DMSO. A complete and regioselective substitution at C-6 with a DS of 1.0 was obtained under the conditions of 50 degrees C, 40 h in butylamine. The substitution reactions of 1 with pyridine carried out at 25, 50, 75 and 100 degrees C for 24h in DMSO did not occur. In contrast to this the S(N) reactions done in pure pyridine showed that a temperature- and steric-dependent, regioselective substitution took place at C-6 at temperatures from 25 to 145 degrees C. The highest regioselectivity and completeness at C-6 can be obtained at 100 degrees C for 90 h, whereas at 145 degrees C substitution also occurs at C-2. The results were proved by 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy.

The 13C NMR spectrum of compound 4 supports the expected structure for 6-amino-6-deoxycellulose. The degree of substitution of compound 4 was 0.96.     

Syntheses of stable isotope-labeled 6 beta-hydroxycortisol, 6 beta-hydroxycortisone,and 6 beta-hydroxytestosterone

A method is described for the preparation of two types of multi-labeled 6 beta-hydroxycortisol containing either five deuterium atoms at C-19 methyl and C-1 methylene or four 13C atoms at C-1, C-2, C-4, and C-19 in addition to the five deuterium atoms for use as analytical internal standards for gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). BMD derivatives of [1,1,19,19,19-2H(5)]cortisone and [1,2,4,19-13C(4),1,1,19,19,19-2H(5)]cortisone (cortisone-2H(5)-BMD and cortisone-13C(4),2H(5)-BMD) were first synthesized via indan synthon method starting from optical active 11-oxoindanylpropionic acid and labeled isopropenyl anion ([1,1,3,3,3-2H(5)]- or [1,3-13C(2),1,1,3,3,3-2H(5)]isopropenyl anion). The labeled isopropenyl anion was prepared from commercially available [1,1,1,3,3,3-2H(6)]- or [1,3-13C(2),1,1,1,3,3,3-2H(6)]acetone. Ultraviolet (UV) irradiated autoxidation at C-6 position of 3-ethyl-3,5-dienol ether derivatives of the labeled cortisone-BMDs gave 6 beta-hydroxy-[1,1,19,19,19-2H(5)]cortisone-BMD and 6 beta-hydroxy-[1,2,4,19-13C(4),1,1,19,19,19-2H(5)]cortisone-BMD, respectively, as a mixture of 6 beta- and 6 alpha-epimers in a ratio of 4:1. Separation of 6 beta- and 6 alpha-epimers by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and subsequent hydrolysis of the BMD group at C-17 gave pure labeled 6 beta-hydroxycortisone. After protecting the keto group at C-3 of the labeled 6 beta-hydroxycortisone-BMD as semicarbazone, reduction of 11-keto group with NaBH(4) and subsequent removal of the C-3 and C-17 protecting groups gave 6beta-hydroxy-[1,1,19,19,19-2H(5)]cortisol (6 beta-hydroxycortisol-2H(5)) and 6 beta-hydroxy-[1,2,4,19-13C(4),1,1,19,19,19-2H(5)]cortisol (6 beta-hydroxycortisol-13C(4),2H(5)), respectively, as a mixture of 6 beta- and 6 alpha-epimers (6 beta:6 alpha=4.4:1). The isotopic compositions of 6 beta-hydroxycortisol-2H(5) and 6 beta-hydroxycortisol-13C(4),2H(5) were 90.9 and 92.1 at.%, respectively. Furthermore, 6 beta-hydroxy-[1 alpha,16,16,17 alpha-2H(4)]testosterone was synthesized by the UV irradiated autoxidation at C-6 position of 3-ethyl-3,5-dienol ether derivative of deuterium-labeled testosterone ([1 alpha,16,16,17 alpha-2H(4)]testosterone) obtained by using catalytic deuteration and hydrogen-deuterium exchange reactions.

Minimal Interleukin 6 (IL-6) Receptor Stalk Composition for IL-6 Receptor Shedding and IL-6 Classic Signaling

Signaling of the pleiotropic cytokine Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is coordinated by membrane-bound and soluble forms of the IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) in processes called classic and trans-signaling, respectively. The soluble IL-6R is mainly generated by ADAM10- and ADAM17-mediated ectodomain shedding. Little is known about the role of the 52-amino acid-residue-long IL-6R stalk region in shedding and signal transduction. Therefore, we generated and analyzed IL-6R stalk region deletion variants for cleavability and biological activity. Deletion of 10 amino acids of the stalk region surrounding the ADAM17 cleavage site substantially blocked IL-6R proteolysis by ADAM17 but only slightly affected proteolysis by ADAM10. Interestingly, additional deletion of the remaining five juxtamembrane-located amino acids also abrogated ADAM10-mediated IL-6R shedding. Larger deletions within the stalk region, that do not necessarily include the ADAM17 cleavage site, also reduced ADAM10 and ADAM17-mediated IL-6R shedding, questioning the importance of cleavage site recognition. Furthermore, we show that a 22-amino acid-long stalk region is minimally required for IL-6 classic signaling. The gp130 cytokine binding sites are separated from the plasma membrane by ∼96 Å. 22 amino acid residues, however, span maximally 83.6 Å (3.8 Å/amino acid), indicating that the three juxtamembrane fibronectin domains of gp130 are not necessarily elongated but somehow flexed to allow IL-6 classic signaling. Our findings underline a dual role of the IL-6R stalk region in IL-6 signaling. In IL-6 trans-signaling, it regulates proper proteolysis by ADAM10 and ADAM17. In IL-6 classic-signaling, it acts as a spacer to ensure IL-6·IL-6R·gp130 signal complex formation.
