Evaluation of substituted oxime ethers for growth regulatory activity against Spodoptera litura (F.)
Izadi H Subrahmanyam B 《Communications in agricultural and applied biological sciences》2005,70(4):651-660
Insect growth regulatory activity (IGR) of fifty-two substituted oxime ethers were evaluated against an important polyphagous lepidopteran crop pest, Spodoptera litura (F.). A number of compounds produced symptoms comparable to exogenously applied juvenile hormone. Maximum IGR activity was exhibited by 4'-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen- -yl)-3'-buten-2'(E)-ketoxime-N-O-alkyl ether with an ED50 (morphological) of 40 microg g(-1) body weight, compared to 20 microg g(-1) of JH III. Two more compounds namely 4'-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-3'-buten-2'(Z)-ketoxime-N-O-methyl propyl ether (ED50 192 microg g(-1)) and 4'-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-3'-buten-2'(E)-ketoxime-N-O-pentyl ether (ED50 380 microg g(-1)) showed considerable IGR activity, whereas 4'-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-3'-buten-2'(E)-ketoxime-N-O-pentyl ether was found to be toxic to the larvae (ED50 268 microg g(-1)). Three compounds used in this study were also synergised by piperonyl butoxide (PBO). The synergistic ratios were found in the range of 1.33 to 4.605. The ovicidal activity of the oxime ethers is not significant. 相似文献

Insect growth regulator (IGR) activity of 52 substituted oxime ethers was evaluated against an important polyphagous lepidopteran pest, Spodoptera litura (F.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Several compounds produced symptoms comparable to exogenously applied juvenile hormone. Maximum ICR activity was exhibited by 4'-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-3'-buten-2'(E)-ketoxime-N-O-alkyl ether with an ED50 (morphological) of 40 microg g(-1) body weight, compared with 20 microg g(-1) of juvenile hormone (JH) III. Two more compounds, namely, 4'-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-3'-buten-2'(Z)-ketoxime-N-O-methyl propyl ether (ED50 of 192 microg g(-1)) and 4'-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-3'-buten-2'(E)-ketoxime-N-O-pentyl ether (ED50 of 380 microg g(-1)) showed considerable IGR activity, whereas 4'-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-3'-buten-2'(E)-ketoxime-N-O-pentyl ether was found to be acutely toxic to larvae (ED50 of 268 microg g(-1)). Three compounds used in this study also were synergized by piperonyl butoxide. Synergistic ratios ranged from 1.330 to 4.605. No significant ovicidal activity was obtained. 相似文献

Action spectra for the photoconsumption of oxygen by human ocular lipofuscin and lipofuscin extracts
Pawlak A Rózanowska M Zareba M Lamb LE Simon JD Sarna T 《Archives of biochemistry and biophysics》2002,403(1):59-62
The action spectra for the photoconsumption of oxygen by lipofuscin isolated from human retinal pigment epithelium cells and liposomal suspensions containing extracts of lipofuscin are reported. The lipofuscin and lipofuscin extract action spectra are similar, demonstrating the phototoxic constituents of lipofuscin are present in the lipofuscin solvent extract. 2-[2,6-Dimethyl-8-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-1E,3E,5E,7E-octatetraenyl]-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-[4-methyl-6-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-1E,3E,5E-hexatrienyl]-pyridinium (A2E), present in both intact granules and the solvent extract, has been invoked as an important contributor to the phototoxicity of lipofuscin. The action spectrum for oxygen photoconsumption by A2E follows its absorption spectrum but does not resemble the action spectrum for photoconsumption of oxygen by lipofuscin granules or lipofuscin extract. These results combined with recently reported experimental studies on the aerobic photoreactivity of A2E indicate that it is not a major contributor to the phototoxicity of lipofuscin. 相似文献

Anti-mitogenic function of interferon-induced (2'-5')oligo(adenylate) and growth-related variations in enzymes that synthesize and degrade this oligonucleotide 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
Addition of (2'5')ApApA to concanavalin-A-stimulated mouse spleen lymphocytes strongly inhibits the large increase in RNA and protein synthesis which takes place 24-48 h after stimulation. The inhibitory effect on protein synthesis precedes the effect on RNA synthesis and takes at least 6 h to be detected. Histone synthesis is preferentially inhibited at 48 h. No effect on protein synthesis was detected in unstimulated resting lymphocytes, or in stimulated lymphocytes during the first 24 h after concanavalin A treatment. The anti-mitogenic effect of the (2'-5')oligo(adenylate) seems to result, therefore, from inhibition of protein synthesis taking place before initiation of DNA replication. The mitogenic stimulus produced by the lectin enhances, in lymphocytes, the level of the 2'-phosphodiesterase which degrades (2'-5')oligo(adenylate). Enhancement of the 2'-phosphodiesterase was also observed after serum stimulation of confluent monkey kidney cells. Furthermore, the ratio of (2'-5')oligo(adenylate) synthetase to 2'-phosphodiesterase is ten-times lower in fast-growing kidney cells than in quiescent serum-starved cells. A model for the role of (2'-5')oligo(adenylate) synthesis and degradation in the regulation of cell proliferation by interferon and by mitogens is presented. 相似文献

A monoprenylated flavan and two monoterpenoid substituted furanocoumarins were isolated from the twigs of Dorstenia elliptica along with 3-(3,3-dimethylallyl)-4,2',4'-trihydroxylchalcone, psoralen, bergapten, O-[3-(2,2-dimethyl-3-oxo-2H-furan-5-yl)butyl]bergaptol, beta-sitosterol and its beta-D-glucopyranoside. The structure of the flavan was determined as 6(1,1-dimethylallyl)-7,4'-dihydroxylflavan and the monoterpenoid substituted furanocoumarins were assigned as O-[3-(2,2-dimethyl-3-oxo-2H-furan-5-yl)-3-hydroxybutyl]-bergaptol and O-[2-(5-hydroxy-2,6,6-trimethyl-3-oxo-2H-pyran-2-yl)ethyl]bergaptol, respectively, using spectroscopic analysis, especially, 2D NMR spectra. 相似文献

1-(2,3-Epoxy-5-O-trityl-beta-D-lyxofuranosyl)uracil was treated with a number of carbon nucleophiles. Ethynyl lithium gave 3'-deoxy-3'-ethynyl-5'-O-trityl-ara-uridine, which was reduced to the corresponding 3'-ethenyl compound. Sodium cyanide gave 3'-cyano-3'-deoxy-5'-O-trityl-ara-uridine which upon alkaline hydrolysis gave the corresponding 3'-carboxamido compound. 1,3-Dithian-2-yl lithium gave 3'-deoxy-3'-(1,3-dithian-2-yl)-5'-O-trityl-ara-uridine. The trityl group was removed from each of these compounds by mild acidic hydrolysis. Treatment of 2 with 0.1M H2sO4 and mercury (II) acetate afforded 3'-acetyl-3'-deoxy-ara-uridine which upon reduction with NaBH4 gave 3'-deoxy-3'-(1-hydroxyethan-1-yl)-ara-uridine. Acetylation of 6 yielded 5'-O-acetyl-3'-acetyl-2',3'-didehydro-2',3'-dideoxyuridine which upon reduction with NaBH4 produced a mixture of 5'-O-acetyl-2',3'-didehydro-2',3'-dideoxy-3'-(1-hydroxyethan -1-yl)uridine and 1-(R)[5-(S)-acetoxymethyl-4-(1-hydroxyethan-1-yl)-tetrahydrofuran- 2-yl]- uracil. Reduction of 14 with Raney nickel followed by removal of the trityl group gave 3'-deoxy-3'-methyl-ara-uridine. 相似文献

A practical enzymatic synthesis of a doubly chiral key compound, (4R,6R)-4-hydroxy-2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexanone, starting from the readily available 2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1,4-dione is described. Chirality is first introduced at the C-6 position by a stereoselective enzymatic hydrogenation of the double bond using old yellow enzyme 2 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, expressed in Escherichia coli, as a biocatalyst. Thereafter, the carbonyl group at the C-4 position is reduced selectively and stereospecifically by levodione reductase of Corynebacterium aquaticum M-13, expressed in E. coli, to the corresponding alcohol. Commercially available glucose dehydrogenase was also used for cofactor regeneration in both steps. Using this two-step enzymatic asymmetric reduction system, 9.5 mg of (4R,6R)-4-hydroxy-2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexanone/ml was produced almost stoichiometrically, with 94% enantiomeric excess in the presence of glucose, NAD(+), and glucose dehydrogenase. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the application of S. cerevisiae old yellow enzyme for the production of a useful compound. 相似文献

Mischarging Escherichia coli tRNAPhe with L-4'-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-3H-diazirin-3-yl]phenylalanine, a photoactivatable analogue of phenylalanine 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The Boc-protected derivative of a photoactivatable, carbene-generating analogue of phenylalanine, L-4'-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-3H-diazirin-3-yl]phenylalanine [(Tmd)Phe], was used to acylate 5'-O-phosphorylcytidylyl(3'-5')adenosine (pCpA). A diacyl species was isolated which upon successive treatments with trifluoroacetic acid and 0.01 M HCl yielded a 1:1 mixture of 2'(3')-O-(Tmd)phenylalanyl-pCpA and of its 2'-5'-phosphodiester isomeric form. Adapting a procedure introduced by Hecht's group [Heckler, T.G., Chang, L.H., Zama, Y., Naka, T., Chorghade, M.S., & Hecht, S.M. (1984) Biochemistry 23, 1468-1473], brief incubation of a 15 molar excess of this material with Escherichia coli tRNAPhe, missing at the acceptor stem the last two nucleotides (pCpA), in the presence of T4 RNA ligase and ATP afforded "chemically misaminoacylated" tRNAPhe in approximately 50% yield. Following chromatographic purification on DEAE-Sephadex A-25, benzoylated DEAE-cellulose, and Bio-Gel P-6, the misaminoacylated tRNAPhe was characterized by (i) urea-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, (ii) enzymatic reaminoacylation under homologous conditions following chemical deacylation, and (iii) its ability to stimulate protein synthesis in an in vitro translation system which, through the addition of the phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase inhibitor phenylalaninyl-AMP, was unable to charge its endogenous tRNAPhe. The data demonstrate that we have prepared a biologically active misaminoacylated tRNAPhe. 相似文献

A series of twelve dispiropyrrolidines were synthesized using [3+2]-cycloaddition reactions. The synthesized compounds were screened for their antimycobacterial activity against M. tuberculosis H(37)Rv and INH resistant M. tuberculosis strains using agar dilution method, four of them showed good activity with MIC of less than 1 μM. Compound 4'-[5-(4-fluorophenyl)pyridin-3-yl]-1'-methyldispiro[indan-2,2' pyrrolidine-3',2″-indan]-1,3,1″-trione (4b) was found to be the most active with MIC of 0.1215 and 5.121 μM, respectively. 相似文献

A tritium-labeled diazocarbonyl juvenile hormone (JH) analog, (10-[10,11-3H]epoxyfarnesyl diazoacetate, [3H]EFDA), covalently bound to proteins in both hemolymph and ovarian extracts when reaction mixtures were irradiated with UV light. The addition of various concentrations of unlabeled JH III selectively inhibited [3H]EFDA photoattachment to proteins. Using the Scatchard method of analysis, [3H]EFDA bound specifically and with relatively high affinity (KD = 1.5 X 10(-6) M) to a macromolecule in each extract, although nonspecific binding to other molecules was also present (20-50%). To determine if [3H]EFDA bound at the JH III-binding site on the binding proteins, radioactive [3H]JH III or [3H]EFDA was complexed with proteins in the presence of various concentrations of either unlabeled JH III or JH I under equilibrium conditions. The results demonstrated that the natural hormone, JH III, displaced both bound labeled ligands 4.1 +/- 0.5 times better than the homolog JH I. Thus, the photoaffinity label [3H]EFDA bound at the same site on the protein as [3H] JH III. Fluorescent autoradiography of [3H]EFDA-labeled proteins separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis revealed that several proteins in both hemolymph and ovarian extracts bound [3H]EFDA. To determine the specificity of binding, extracts were irradiated with UV light in the presence of unlabeled JH III and [3H]EFDA. The results demonstrated that JH III prevented photoattachment of [3H]EFDA to a major protein in each extract. The molecular weight of these proteins was estimated at approximately 200,000 for both the hemolymph protein and the ovarian protein. 相似文献

Analogs of (2'-5')oligo(A). Endonuclease activation and inhibition of protein synthesis in intact cells 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Synthetic analogs of (2'-5')oligo(A) were assayed for endonuclease activation in cell extracts and for inhibition of protein synthesis in intact cells. The analogs are triadenylates: (i) methylated in the terminal 3'-OH; (ii) methylated at all three 3'-OH groups; (iii) with different numbers of phosphate groups at the 5' terminus or with a methylene group between the beta- and gamma-phosphate. Only 5'-phosphorylated monomethylated analogs activate an endonuclease in cell extracts and are powerful inhibitors of protein synthesis in intact cells. The analogs with only one 5'-terminal phosphate may require addition of another phosphate for activity since the kinase inhibitor 2-aminopurine prevents endonuclease activation by this compound but not by the di- and triphosphate-terminated triadenylates. These results suggest that two terminal phosphates and one or two free 3'-OH are required for endonuclease activation and inhibition of protein synthesis. The monomethylated analogs are more active than (2'-5')pppA3 because of their resistance to degradation by cellular enzymes. Accordingly, the monomethylated analogs cause a prolonged inhibition of protein synthesis in human fibroblasts treated with nanomolar concentrations of these compounds. 相似文献

Juvenile hormone (JH) synthesized and secreted in vitro by the corpora allata of mated adult Leucophaea maderae females was determined to be JH III (methyl-10,11-epoxy-3,7,11-trimethyl-2,6-dodecadienoate).The haemolymph titre of JH was determined during maturation of the terminal oöcytes in the first reproductive cycle of L. maderae. In virgin females, JH is not detectable in the haemolymph during the first eight days following adult emergence; however, by 10 days after emergence, trace quantities of JH are apparent. Mating stimuli induce a dramatic increase in the concentration of haemolymph JH, with a peak occurring approximately 12 days after mating; thereafter, the JH concentration declines until it has reached an undetectable level 19 days after mating, at the time of chorion deposition.During ovarian maturation, changes in the rates of synthesis of vitellogenin by the fat body and DNA by the ovary correlate closely with the haemolymph titre of JH. However, no such correlation exists between the JH titre and the extensive ovarian protein synthesis that occurs in L. maderae coincident with chorion formation.The effects of JH I and JH III on both vitellogenin synthesis and ovarain DNA synthesis are statistically similar. 相似文献

The synthesis and biological properties are described of [Asu7,23']-beta-ANP-(7-28) (Asu, L-alpha-aminosuberic acid), a dicarba analog of beta-atrial natriuretic peptide (beta-ANP, an antiparallel dimer of human alpha-ANP with the chains linked by 7-23' and 7'-23 disulfide bonds). This Asu-analog (referred to as analog III) displaced 125I-alpha-ANP specifically bound to cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) with an apparent Ki of 2.1 x 10(-8) M, but did not stimulate formation of intracellular cGMP at 10(-8) -10(-5) M. Analog III inhibited the alpha-ANP-stimulated cGMP production in VSMC competitively with a pA2 value of 7.45 and behaved as an antagonist of alpha-ANP in rat aorta smooth muscle relaxation. In addition, beta-ANP was also shown to inhibit the alpha-ANP-induced cGMP production in a dose-dependent manner. The mechanism of action of beta-ANP is also discussed. 相似文献

Decauridylate containing exclusively a 2'-5' phospho-diester bond ([2'-5']U10) served as a template for the synthesis of oligoadenylates [oligo(A)s] from the 5'-phosphorimidazolide of 2'-5' diadenylate (ImpA-2'p5'A). Joining of [2'-5']U10and ImpA2'p5'A also took place in substantial amounts to yield long-chain oligoribonucleotides in the template-directed reaction. An unusual CD spectrum ascribed to helix formation between [2'-5']U10and [2'-5'](pA)2was observed under the same conditions as that of the template-directed reaction. The 3'-5' linked decauridylate ([3'-5']U10) also promoted the template-directed synthesis of oligo(A)s from ImpA2'p5'A, but more slowly compared with [2'-5']U10. The results indicate that short-chain RNA oligomers with a 2'-5' phosphodiester bond could lead to longer oligoribonucleotides by template-directed chain elongation. 相似文献

The treatment of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells with mouse interferon increases the level of the latent enzyme (2'-5')(A)n synthetase. If activated by double-stranded RNA, this catalyzes the synthesis from ATP of a series of 2'-5'-oligoadenylates: (2'-5')(A)n where n extends from 2 to about 15. We isolated (2'-5')(A)n synthetase in a homogeneous state. In the presence of double-stranded RNA, the purified enzyme can convert the large majority (about 97%) of the ATP into (2'-5')(A)n and pyrophosphate, although it does not cleave the pyrophosphate. The stoichiometry of the reaction can be formulated as: (n + I) ATP leads to (2'-5') pppA(pA)n + n pyrophosphate. Added pyrophosphate does not inhibit the synthesis of (2'-5')(A)n. The extent of the reverse reaction, i.e. the pyrophosphorolysis of (2'-5')(A)n, was below the level of detection under our conditions. The affinity of the enzyme for ATP is low: the rate of the reaction increases by about 10% when the concentration of ATP is increased from 5 mM to 10 mM. The optimal concentration of double-stranded RNA increases with the concentration of the enzyme. As tested at 0.4, 2, and 10 micrograms/ml of enzyme concentrations, close to maximal (2'-5')(A)n synthesis can be obtained if reovirus double-stranded RNA or poly(I) . poly(C) are used at about half the concentration (in w/v) of the enzyme. The plot of the reaction rate versus enzyme concentration is sigmoidal. It remains to be seen if this reflects on a cooperative behavior of the enzyme. 相似文献
