AbstractA facile, straightforward, reliable, and an efficient chemical synthesis of inosine nucleotides such as 7-methylinosine 5′-O-monophosphate, 7-methylinosine 5′-O-diphosphate, and 7-methylinosine 5′-O-triphosphate, starting from the corresponding inosine nucleotide is delineated. The present methylation reaction of inosine nucleotide utilizes dimethyl sulfate as a methylating agent and water as a solvent at room temperature. It is noteworthy that the present methylation reaction proceeds smoothly under aqueous conditions that is highly regioselective to afford exclusive 7-methylinosine nucleotide in good yields with high purity (>99.5%). 相似文献

EMPA is a selective antagonist of orexin 2 (OX2) receptors. Previous literature with [3H]-EMPA suggest that it may be used as an imaging agent for OX2 receptors; however, brain penetration is known to be modest. To evaluate the potential of EMPA as a PET radiotracer in non-human primate (as a step to imaging in man), we radiolabeled EMPA with carbon-11. Radiosynthesis of [11C]N-ethyl-2-(N-(6-methoxypyridin-3-yl)-2-methylphenylsulfonamido)-N-(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)acetamide ([11C]EMPA), and evaluation as a potential PET tracer for OX2 receptors is described. Synthesis of an appropriate non-radioactive O-desmethyl precursor was achieved from EMPA with sodium iodide and chlorotrimethylsilane. Selective O-methylation using [11C]CH3I in the presence of cesium carbonate in DMSO at room temp afforded [11C]EMPA in 1.5–2.5% yield (non-decay corrected relative to trapped [11C]CH3I at EOS) with ?95% chemical and radiochemical purities. The total synthesis time was 34–36 min from EOB. Studies in rodent suggested that uptake in tissue was dominated by nonspecific binding. However, [11C]EMPA also showed poor uptake in both rats and baboon as measured with PET imaging. 相似文献

The production of specific secondary metabolites in vitro can be improved through medium supplementation with secondary metabolite precursors, plant growth regulators (PGRs), and abiotic and biotic elicitors. In the present study, node and internode explants of Phyllanthus amarus and P. urinaria collected from Karkala region, Udupi District, Karnataka, India, were inoculated aseptically onto Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium for callus induction. Uniform calluses were inoculated onto MS medium fortified with one of two precursor’s cinnamic acid (CA) or phenylalanine (PA), or with naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). After 30 d of treatment, calluses from treatment and control groups were harvested and quantitatively analyzed for three lignans (phyllanthin, hypophyllanthin and niranthin) and an antioxidant (ellagic acid). Increased amounts of the lignans and ellagic acid were obtained through supplementation with CA, PA, and NAA, and higher ellagic acid was present at higher amounts than the three lignans. These results demonstrated that the Phyllanthus species collected from Karkala region (designated “Accessions3”) show substantial response to CA, PA, and NAA treatment and represent a potential source of donor plants with higher amounts of lignans and antioxidants. These plants can be cultivated on a large scale both in vitro and in vivo for production of important bioactive compounds. Production of these compounds can be further enhanced through induction of somaclonal variant plants with higher amounts of bioactive molecule production and through production of transgenic plants overexpressing genes related to lignan- and phenolic-compound biosynthesis. 相似文献

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) play a major role in control of viral replication. To understand the contribution of this antiviral response, an initial step is to fully define the specific epitopes targeted by CTL. These studies focused on CTL responses restricted by HLA-A*3002, one of the HLA-A molecules most prominent in African populations. To avoid the time-consuming effort and expense involved in culturing CTL prior to defining epitopes and restricting alleles, we developed a method combining Elispot assays with intracellular gamma interferon staining of peripheral blood mononuclear cells to first map the optimal epitopes targeted and then define the HLA restriction of novel epitopes. In two A*3002-positive subjects whose CTL responses were characterized in detail, the strongest response in both cases was to an epitope in p17 Gag, RSLYNTVATLY (residues 76 to 86). Using this method, CTL epitopes for which there were no motif predictions were optimized and the HLA restriction was established within 48 to 72 h of receipt of blood. This simple and convenient approach should prove useful especially in the characterization of CTL responses specific to HIV and other viruses, particularly in localities where performing cytotoxicity assays would be problematic. 相似文献

An efficient C-5 iodination of pyrimidine-5′-triphosphates and subsequent palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling reaction with propargylamine is described. The iodination reaction is highly regioselective and the coupling reaction is highly chemoselective that furnishes exclusive 5-(3-aminopropargyl)-pyrimidine-5′-triphosphate in good yield with high purity (>99%). 相似文献

Knowledge of the rapidly developing hierarchy of controls affecting vascular development in placenta is required to understand how the growth factors and their receptor-mediated signals actually produce vessels. At the cell biological level, these events clearly require stable interactions between the cells, and cells with the surrounding ECM. The objective of the study was to understand the role of integrins and ECM on the expression and secretion of angiogenin in placentas and from trophoblasts in culture. Functionally active term placental explant culture and trophoblast cultures were used to demonstrate the differential secretion profile of angiogenin and real-time quantitative RT-PCR to demonstrate the mRNA expression in the presence or absence of ECM proteins. In this study, a significant increase in expression and secretion of angiogenin occurred in the presence of vitronectin (VN) and fibronectin (FN). Using antibody-blocking experiments it was also demonstrated that the angiogenin secretion is mediated by placental integrins, alpha(V)beta3 and alpha5beta1. In addition, exposure to hypoxic conditions resulted in diminished angiogenin secretion in the presence of both ECMs suggesting that angiogenin expression in the presence of ECM is modulated by local O2 concentration. In conclusion, this study provides evidence for the regulatory role of ECM and integrins on the mRNA expression and secretion of angiogenin in human placenta. ECMs may have a pivotal role in enhancing secretion of this peptide necessary for placental angiogenesis and provides the impetus as additional targets for the control of angiogenesis in pathological pregnancy. 相似文献

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), as a specific group of brominated flame retardants (BFR), are used in a variety of consumer products including electronics and household furnishings. In recent years, a marked increase in the levels of PBDEs in human biological tissues and fluids, especially breast milk, has been reported in several countries. However, few data are available from countries in the Asia-pacific region, including Singapore. This study presents a validated method procedure and the first available data of the concentrations of PBDE congeners: PBDE-47 (2,2,4,4-Tetrabromodiphenyl ether), PBDE-99 (2,2',4,4',5-Pentabromodiphenyl ether), PBDE-100 (2,2',4,4',6-Pentabromodiphenyl ether), PBDE-153 (2,2',4,4',5,5'-Hexabromodiphenyl ether), PBDE-154 (2,2',4,4',5,6'-Hexabromodiphenyl ether) in maternal adipose tissue collected from inhabitants of Singapore. Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) of PBDEs spiked adipose tissues coupled with GC-MS analysis achieved comparable recoveries to a conventional Soxhlet Extraction (SE) procedure of between 70 and 130%. MAE also yielded comparable precision data (variance less than 13%) relative to the SE procedure. Spiked Carbon-13 PBDE congeners were also used as surrogates for MAE quality assurance and confirmed the efficiency of the procedure. PBDE congeners were detected in all of 16 maternal adipose tissues collected in Singapore, where levels were comparable to available data from Belgium. 相似文献

Precise blood lead analysis using a combined internal standard and standard addition approach with disposable screen-printed electrodes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We report here a highly accurate and efficient method for blood lead analysis (BLA) through the use of a disposable electrode. A new type of mercury-plated preanodized screen-printed carbon electrode, together with a thallium(III) internal standard, simplifies calibration and gives easily quantifiable signals for accurate BLA. A preanodization procedure improves the preconcentration ability of the working electrode through the effect of lead (Pb) complexing with an electrogenerated surface functional group, mainly >C=O. Under optimized conditions, the ratio of the anodic stripping peak currents of Pb and Tl (i.e., i(Pb)/i(Tl)) is linear against [Pb] in the window of 1-300 ppb with a correlation coefficient and detection limit (signal-to-noise ratio=3) of 0.999 and 0.23 ppb, respectively. This approach was used to analyze blood samples (n=55) from workers at a local battery factory. The results are consistent with those obtained from graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy and confirm the applicability of the proposed method. 相似文献

Two synthetic strategies have been developed for the synthesis of spaced sugars with lipophilic 1,4-phenylene core. A building block combining the usefulness of Weinreb amide functionality and modified Julia olefination reaction has been explored towards this objective. This building block offers complete flexibility in attaching any desired sugar derivative across phenylene spacer via C-C bond formation. The other strategy uses carbohydrate based building blocks for the synthesis of symmetrical as well as unsymmetrical 1,4-phenylene spaced sugars. This is the first report for the synthesis of 1,4-phenylene spaced sugars via C-C bond formation. 相似文献
