Acetylcholine Synthesis and Release by a Sympathetic Ganglion in the Presence of 2-(4-Phenylpiperidino) Cyclohexanol (AH5183)

These experiments measured the release and the synthesis of acetylcholine (ACh) by cat sympathetic ganglia in the presence of 2-(4-phenylpiperidino) cyclohexanol (AH5183), an agent that blocks the uptake of ACh into synaptic vesicles. Evoked transmitter release during short periods of preganglionic nerve stimulation was not affected by AH5183, but release during prolonged stimulation was not maintained in the drug's presence, whereas it was in the drug's absence. The amount of ACh releasable by nerve impulses in the presence of AH5183 was 194 +/- 10 pmol, which represented 14 +/- 1% of the tissue ACh store. The effect of AH5183 on ACh release was not well antagonized by 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), and not associated with inhibition of stimulation-induced calcium accumulation by nerve terminals. It is concluded that AH5183 blocks ACh release indirectly, and that the proportion of stored ACh releasable in the compound's presence represents transmitter in synaptic vesicles available to the release mechanism. The synthesis of ACh during 30 min preganglionic stimulation in the presence of AH5183 was 2,448 +/- 51 pmol and in its absence it was 2,547 +/- 273 pmol. Thus, as the drug decreased ACh release it increased tissue content. The increase in tissue content of ACh in the presence of AH5183 was not evident in resting ganglia; it was evident in stimulated ganglia whether or not tissue cholinesterase was inhibited; it was increased by 4-AP and reduced by divalent cation changes expected to decrease calcium influx during nerve terminal depolarization.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Lipase-Catalyzed Synthesis of Poly(1,4-Butanediol Succinate) in Organic Solvent

During the last decade, lipase has gained interest as a biocatalyst for synthesis in organic solvent systems. The paper describes the lipase catalyzed oligocondensation of bis(2-chloroethyl) succinate and 1,4-butanediol to obtain poly (1,4-butanediol succinate). The reaction was carried out at 37°C in organic solvents without any addition of water. Various lipases and solvents were screened to obtain a maximum degree of polymerization. Based on gel permeation chromatography, the highest average molecular weight of the oligomer obtained was 1570 g/mol with a polydispersity of 1.2 when a mixture of 70% diisopropyl ether and 30% chloroform was used as a solvent. The degree of polymerization was 8 in this case. According to thin-layer chromatography, a trimer (HO(CH₂)₄OCO(CH₂)₂COO(CH₂)₄OH) was formed at an early stage, with a subsequent condensation with bis(2-chloroethyl) succinate to give higher oligomers. The structure of the oligomers was confirmed by ¹³C NMR and IR spectra.     

Effects of 1-Methyl-4-Phenyl-1,2,5,6-Tetrahydropyridine and Its Metabolite 1-Methyl-4-Phenylpyridine on Acetylcholine Synthesis in Synaptosomes from Rat Forebrain

1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) and its metabolite, 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridine (MPP+), have been shown to cause a number of lesions in dopaminergic pathways of the nigro-striatal region of the brain. However, data on the effects of these neurotoxins on other aspects of brain metabolism are scarce. The data presented here show that MPTP and MPP+ inhibit glucose oxidation via the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and acetylcholine synthesis in synaptosomal preparations from rat forebrain. Monoamine oxidase B inhibitors (e.g., pargyline, MDL 72145) relieve the inhibition caused by MPTP but not MPP+. The inhibitory effects of MPP+ on glucose oxidation and acetylcholine synthesis are a consequence of the decreased glucose metabolism in synaptosomes and are consistent with its role as an inhibitor of the Complex I (NADH-CoQ reductase) of the mitochondrial respiratory chain.     

Papain Immobilization Study in Enzymatic Synthesis of Dipeptide Gly-Phe

Papain catalysed peptide synthesis was followed to determine the optimum conditions for adsorption and covalent binding immobilization methods. The synthesis of the dipeptide Gly-Phe was studied in two different reaction systems: a) For adsorbed papain, in an organic medium containing low water concentration, b) For covalently bound enzyme, in a two-liquid phase system, using trichloroethylene as organic phase. The amount of enzyme offered to the immobilization support and the p^H of the immobilization procedure were the main parameters studied.     

Enzymatic Synthesis of Various Aromatic Polyesters in Anhydrous Organic Solvents

Lipases and proteases from various sources were tested in aromatic polyester synthesis in organic solvents. A commercial protease from Bacillus licheniformis efficiently catalyzed the transesterifica-tion of a diester of terephthalic acid and 1,4-butanediol in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (THF). This protease was used as a catalyst in the synthesis of aromatic polyesters in THF. Oligomers with average molecular weights from 400 to 1000 daltons were obtained using various diols and aromatic diesters.

Acetylcholine Synthesis by a Sympathetic Ganglion in the Presence of 2-(4-Phenylpiperidino)cyclohexanol (AH5183) and Picrylsulfonic Acid

The present experiments measured the release and the synthesis of acetylcholine (ACh) by cat sympathetic ganglia in the presence of 2-(4-phenylpiperidino)cyclohexanol (AH5183 or vesamicol) and/or picrylsulfonic acid (TNBS), two compounds known to have the ability to block the uptake of ACh by cholinergic synaptic vesicles in vitro. We confirmed that, in stimulated (5 Hz) perfused (30 min) ganglia, AH5183 depressed ACh release and ACh tissue content increased by 86 +/- 6% compared to contralateral ganglia used as controls. Preganglionic activity increased ACh release by a similar amount in the presence (19.9 +/- 1.0 pmol/min) or absence (20.5 +/- 2.4 pmol/min) of TNBS. The final tissue ACh content was also similar in the presence (1,668 +/- 166 pmol) or absence (1,680 +/- 56 pmol) of TNBS. However, the AH5183-induced increase of tissue ACh content (86 +/- 6%) was abolished completely when AH5183 was perfused with 1.5 mM TNBS (-3.0 +/- 1.0%). This inhibition of ACh synthesis, observed in TNBS-AH5183-perfused ganglia, was not dependent upon further inhibition of ACh release beyond that caused by AH5183 alone, because 14.0 +/- 1.9% of the transmitter store was released by preganglionic nerve stimulation in the presence of TNBS plus AH5183 and this was similar in the presence of AH5183 without TNBS (14.0 +/- 0.6%). Moreover, when ganglia were first treated with TNBS and then stimulated in the presence of AH5183, an increase of 64 +/- 6% of the ganglionic ACh content occurred, and this increase was not statistically different from the increase measured with AH5183 alone (86 +/- 6%).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Stereochemistry of the Enzymatic Reduction of 2-(4-Methoxybenzyl)-1-Cyclohexanone by Solanum Aviculare Cells in vitro

During the investigation of chemical properties of the dicyclic system of insect juvenile hormone analogues, biotransformation of 2-(4-methoxybenzyl)-1-cyclohexanone (1) by plant cell cultures was studied. Among other components, the cis-(1S, 2S)- and cis-(1R, 2R)-2-(4-methoxybenzyl)-1-cyclohexanol enantiomers 2a and 2b were found in the reaction mixture. Higher stereoselectivity of the biotransformation was observed for trans-(1S, 2R)-enantiomer 3a formation, which occurred in at least 60% of calculated enantiomeric excess.
