Effect of bis(acetato)tetrakis(imidazole) copper(II) in delaying the onset and reducing the mortality rate of strychnine- and thiosemicarbazide—Induced convulsions

The anticonvulsant activity of bis(acetato)tetrakis(imidazole) copper(II), Cu(OAc)₂(Im)₄, was studied in normal mice using chemical convulsions induced by strychnine, thiosemicarbazide, picrotoxin, and pentelenetetrazol. Intraperitoneal administration of Cu(OAc) ₂(Im)₄, 50 mg/kg body mass, has delayed the onset of strychnine (3 mg/kg)-induced convulsion by 204% (p≤0.005) and thiosemicarbazide (20 mg/kg)-induced convulsant by 61% (p≤0.005). The changes in the onset of picrotoxin-(6 mg/kg) and pentelenetetrazol (50 mg/kg)-induced convulsions were not significant. The same dosage of the copper compound was effective in delaying the lethal time and reducing the mortality rate of treated animals. The anticonvulsant activity of Cu(OAc) ₂(Im)₄ complex against strychnine was not related to its constituents because the inorganic form of copper such as copper chloride, copper acetate, and the parent imidazole has no anticonvulsant activity. Other copper(II) complexes like copper(II)aspirinate and bis(acetato)bis(2-methyl imidazole) copper(II) were less effective.     

Synthesis and Characterization of a Ditriflate-Bridged, Diiron(II) Complex with Syn-N-Donor Ligands: [Fe(2)(μ-OTf)(2)(PIC(2)DET)(2)](BARF)(2)

The synthesis and characterization of the diiron(II) complex [Fe(2)(μ-OTf)(2)-(PIC(2)DET)(2)](BARF)(2) (2), where PIC(2)DET is a 2,3-diethynyltriptycene-linked dipicolinic methyl ester ligand, are described. The dication in 2, contains, [Fe(2)(μ-OTf)(2)(PIC(2)DET)(2)](2+) two symmetry-equivalent iron atoms with octahedral coordination geometries. Each metal ion has a N(2)O(4) atom donor set that includes four atoms from two picolinic ester N,O chelate rings, as well as two oxygen atoms from the bridging trifluoromethanesulfonate groups. The Fe(2)(μ-OTf)(2) core of 2 is stabilized by two PIC(2)DET ligands that bind the two metal ions in a head-to-head fashion, leading to an Fe···Fe distance of 5.173(1)?. Molar conductivity data for 2 are consistent with Fe(2)(μ-OTf)(2)(PIC(2)DET)(2)](2+) retaining its identity in acetone solutions, where it behaves as a 2:1 electrolyte. (1)H NMR spectroscopic, solution (d(6)-acetone) and solid-state magnetic susceptibility data all indicate that the iron atoms of 2 are high-spin (S = 2). A fit of the magnetic data (2 - 300K) to a spin-only isotropic exchange Hamiltonian H = -2JS(1)·S(2) are consistent with weak antiferromagnetic coupling between the two iron atoms with J ~ -0.99(2) cm(-1) and g = 2.10(1).     

Synthesis of X(Y)-(EO)(n)-OCH₃ type heterobifunctional and X(Y)-(EO)(n)-Z type heterotrifunctional poly(ethylene glycol)s

A synthetic route to prepare acetal-protected heterobifunctional poly(ethylene glycol), allyl(1-ethoxyethoxy)-PEG-OH (allyl(EE)-PEG-OH), was successfully established using a newly synthesized initiator, trimethylolpropane allyl (1-ethoxyethoxy) ether (TMPAEEE). Heterobifunctional allyl(OH)-mPEG and heterotrifunctional allyl(OH)-PEG-alkyne were obtained, respectively, after modification from this precursor polymer. The polymers were characterized by SEC, 1H NMR, and MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy. This approach is applicable for synthesizing a wide variety of X(Y)-(EO)(n)-OCH? type heterobifunctional and X(Y)-(EO)(n)-Z type heterotrifunctional PEGs.     

原生动物门(Profozoa)(一)

原生动物属于动物界中最原始、最低等的单细胞动物。由于它们的核与细胞质之间存在有明显的核膜,因此这类动物应归属于真核动物。除生活在海洋的放射虫和有孔虫等,原生动物在形态上虽然是一个体形微小(一般在300微米以下)的单细胞动物,但它们又区别于高等动物的体细胞,而是一个完整的,能够独立生活的有机体;它们除具有一般细胞共有的细胞膜、细胞质和细胞核外,还具有一般多细胞动物的运动,消化、呼吸、排泄、生殖和感应性等生理功能。因此,原生动物是一个结构复杂功能奇特的单细胞动物。     

Synthesis of new chiral (η6-arene)(η4-diene)ruthenium(O) complexes

Kinetics and mechanism of the aquation of the trinuclear cation, [μ3-oxo-triaqua-hexakis(acetato)tris(iron(III))]in perchloric acid media

The aquation of the title complex cation in aqueous perchloric acid proceeded via two steps, both postulated to be the proton attack on the oxygen atom which binds the acetate ligand to the metal centre, followed by Fe-O bond cleavage. This was followed by rapid decomposition to produce aqueous iron(III) and acetate ions. The first-order rate constants for the first and second steps at 25 °C are: k₁ = (4.16 ± 0.58) × 10⁻² s⁻¹ and k₂ = (2.09 ± 0.42) × 10⁻³ s⁻¹, respectively, and their corresponding activation parameters are . The spontaneous hydrolysis rate constants for the first and second steps were also determined at 25 °C and ionic strength of 1 mol dm⁻³ and they are k₀ = (3.10 ± 0.82) × 10⁻³ s⁻¹ and , respectively. The corresponding activation parameters are .

第三节脑本节主要闡述脑的构造和它的机能,从量力性的观点出发,教材仅介紹延髓、小脑和大脑三个部分,这是适合实际情况的。延髓的机能着重的介紹了几个神經中枢的机能——呼吸中枢、心搏中枢、血管舒縮中枢和唾液分泌中枢。这几种中枢的机能在上冊各章部已敍述了一些感性知識,例如講到血的流动时就举出肌肉活动加强时,它里面毛細血管舒张的数目就多一些。这一段內就把这些感性知識提高到理論來認識,进一步加深和巩固反射的概念。同时还为講高級神經活动打下基础。例如唾液分泌中枢的位置等。

Crystal structure and conformational analysis of s-cis-(acetylacetonato)(ethylenediamine-N,N′-diacetato)-chromium(III)

The crystal structure of [Cr(edda)(acac)] (edda = ethylediamine-N,N′-diacetate; acac = acetylacetonato) has been determined by a single crystal X-ray diffraction study at 150 K. The chromium ion is in a distorted octahedral environment coordinated by two N and two O atoms of chelating edda and two O atoms of acac, resulting in s-cis configuration. The complex crystallizes in the space group P2₁/c of the monoclinic system in a cell of dimensions a = 10.2588(9), b = 15.801(3), c = 8.7015(11) ?, β =101.201(9)° and Z = 4. The mean Cr-N(edda), Cr-O(edda) and Cr-O(acac) bond distances are 2.0829(14), 1.9678(11) and 1.9477(11) ? while the angles O-Cr-O of edda and O-Cr-O of acac are 171.47(5) and 92.72(5)°, respectively. The crystal structure is stabilized by N–H⋯O hydrogen bonds linking [Cr(edda)(acac)] molecules in distinct linear strands. The visible electronic and IR spectroscopic properties are also discussed. An improved, physically more realistic force field, Vibrationally Optimized Force Field (VOFF), capable of reproducing structural and vibrational properties of [Cr(edda)(acac)] was developed and its transferability demonstrated on selected chromium(III) complexes with similar ligands.     

Altered replication in human cells promotes DMPK (CTG)(n) · (CAG)(n) repeat instability

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is associated with expansion of (CTG)(n) · (CAG)(n) trinucleotide repeats (TNRs) in the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of the DMPK gene. Replication origins are cis-acting elements that potentiate TNR instability; therefore, we mapped replication initiation sites and prereplication complex protein binding within the ~10-kb DMPK/SIX5 locus in non-DM1 and DM1 cells. Two origins, IS(DMPK) and IS(SIX5), flanked the (CTG)(n) · (CAG)(n) TNRs in control cells and in DM1 cells. Orc2 and Mcm4 bound near each of the replication initiation sites, but a dramatic change in (CTG)(n) · (CAG)(n) replication polarity was not correlated with TNR expansion. To test whether (CTG)(n) · (CAG)(n) TNRs are cis-acting elements of instability in human cells, model cell lines were created by integration of cassettes containing the c-myc replication origin and (CTG)(n) · (CAG)(n) TNRs in HeLa cells. Replication forks were slowed by (CTG)(n) · (CAG)(n) TNRs in a length-dependent manner independent of replication polarity, implying that expanded (CTG)(n) · (CAG)(n) TNRs lead to replication stress. Consistent with this prediction, TNR instability increased in the HeLa model cells and DM1 cells upon small interfering RNA (siRNA) knockdown of the fork stabilization protein Claspin, Timeless, or Tipin. These results suggest that aberrant DNA replication and TNR instability are linked in DM1 cells.     

Reactivity of tricarbonyl(η5-cyclopentadienyl)(dimethyldithiocarbamato)tungsten towards coordinatively unsaturated species

Visible light irradiation of solutions containing [(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₃ WSC(S)NMe₂] (1) and Fe₂(CO)₉ or Mn₂(CO)₁₀ leads to a transmetallation type of reaction and formation of Fe(S₂CNMe₂)₂ and Mn(CO)₄(S₂CNMe₂) respectively. However, the reaction or 1 with M(PPh₃)₄, M = Pt, or Pd, leads to conversion to the dicarbonyl chelate complex [(η⁵C₂H₅(CO)₂ W(S₂CNMe₂)].     

Synthesis of (Dicarbonyl)(η5-cyclopentadienyl)Manganese Complex Stabilized Nucleoside Phosphite Esters

Abstract

We have found that stable nucleoside derived phosphite ester manganese complexes can be generated by the reaction of Mn(CO)₂(THF)(η⁵-C₅H₄R) with nucleoside phosphite esters. These complexes appear to be stable towards oxygen and reagents used for DNA synthesis and deprotection. The cyclopentadienyl ligand can be modified by a strong electron withdrawing group and still retain the photochemical and chemical properties necessary to complex readily to phosphite esters.
