AbstractA new procedure for the speciation of dissolved antimony is described. This makes use of complexation with citrate to prevent, preferentially, the formation of hydride from Sb(V) and allow the selective determination of Sb(III) to be made by continuous flow hydride generation - atomic absorption spectrometry. When the citric acid (12% m/V) is replaced by potassium iodide (3% m/V), total antimony is determined and the concentration of Sb(V) can be obtained by difference. The determination of the antimony species is dominated in this new procedure by the complexation of Sb(V) with citrate and the effect of pH is limited to a minor, re-inforcing role. This permits acidification to be made with hydrochloric acid. The principal interfering species in the determination of total antimony and Sb(III) is Fe3+, with Fe2+, Cu2+ and Ni2+ showing lesser effects on Sb(III). The technique is applied successfully to synthetic mixtures and to natural waters from the environment of a disused antimony mine.The characteristic concentration obtained for antimony was 0.7 ng mL–1 and the detection limit 1 ng mL–1. 相似文献

The crystal structure of the NADH:quinone oxidoreductase PA1024 has been solved in complex with NAD+ to 2.2 Å resolution. The nicotinamide C4 is 3.6 Å from the FMN N5 atom, with a suitable orientation for facile hydride transfer. NAD+ binds in a folded conformation at the interface of the TIM‐barrel domain and the extended domain of the enzyme. Comparison of the enzyme‐NAD+ structure with that of the ligand‐free enzyme revealed a different conformation of a short loop (75–86) that is part of the NAD+‐binding pocket. P78, P82, and P84 provide internal rigidity to the loop, whereas Q80 serves as an active site latch that secures the NAD+ within the binding pocket. An interrupted helix consisting of two α‐helices connected by a small three‐residue loop binds the pyrophosphate moiety of NAD+. The adenine moiety of NAD+ appears to π–π stack with Y261. Steric constraints between the adenosine ribose of NAD+, P78, and Q80, control the strict specificity of the enzyme for NADH. Charged residues do not play a role in the specificity of PA1024 for the NADH substrate. 相似文献

Bacteria synthesize a wide array of unusual carbohydrate molecules, which they use in a variety of ways. The carbohydrate L ‐glycero‐D ‐manno‐heptose is an important component of lipopolysaccharide and is synthesized in a complex series of enzymatic steps. One step involves the epimerization at the C6″ position converting ADP‐D ‐glycero‐D ‐manno‐heptose into ADP‐L ‐glycero‐D ‐manno‐heptose. The enzyme responsible is a member of the short chain dehydrogenase superfamily, known as ADP‐L ‐glycero‐D ‐manno‐heptose 6‐epimerase (AGME). The structure of the enzyme was known but the arrangement of the catalytic site with respect to the substrate is unclear. We now report the structure of AGME bound to a substrate mimic, ADP‐β‐D ‐mannose, which has the same stereochemical configuration as the substrate. The complex identifies the key residues and allows mechanistic insight into this novel enzyme. 相似文献

We have previously discovered nicotinic acid derivative 1 as a structurally novel dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-4) inhibitor. In this study, we obtained the X-ray co-crystal structure between nicotinic acid derivative 1 and DPP-4. From these X-ray co-crystallography results, to achieve more potent inhibitory activity, we targeted Arg125 as a potential amino acid residue because it was located near the pyridine core, and some known DPP-4 inhibitors were reported to interact with this residue. We hypothesized that the guanidino group of Arg125 could interact with two hydrogen-bond acceptors in a bidentate manner. Therefore, we designed a series of 3-pyridylacetamide derivatives possessing an additional hydrogen-bond acceptor that could have the desired bidentate interaction with Arg125. We discovered the dihydrochloride of 1-{[5-(aminomethyl)-2-methyl-4-(4-methylphenyl)-6-(2-methylpropyl)pyridin-3-yl]acetyl}-l-prolinamide (13j) to be a potent and selective DPP-4 inhibitor that could interact with the guanidino group of Arg125 in a unique bidentate manner. 相似文献

Total arsenic in urine is often the principal means for assessing chronic exposure to arsenic-contaminated drinking water. This approach ignores many components of the human diet, especially fish and seafood that contain arsenic at significant concentrations. The toxicity differences between the inorganic forms and the dietary forms suggest both should be evaluated when attempting to assess risk from arsenic exposure. Urine biomonitoring for 53 participants was used to confirm reduction in arsenic exposure resulting from well water remediation removing inorganic arsenic from drinking water. Initially, only total arsenic urine assays were performed, but spikes in total arsenic urine concentrations were determined to be diet related and demonstrated the need for analytical methods that differentiate the arsenic species. A secondary analysis was added that quantified inorganic-related arsenic in urine and the dietary forms related to fish and seafood by subtraction from total arsenic. Significant differences were found between the inorganic arsenic component and the total arsenic measured in their urine. On average, approximately 76% of total arsenic in urine was attributed to fish and other organo-arsenic dietary sources, implying a potential significant overestimate of exposure, and demonstrating the need for differentiation of the inorganic-related arsenic from dietary arsenic. 相似文献

The novel phosphinito iridium PCP pincer complex, IrH4{C6H3-2,6-(OPPri2)2} can be conveniently synthesized and isolated in 74% overall yield. The complex catalyzes the dehydrogenation of linear alkanes to alkenes at the rate of 13 turnovers min−1 at 200 °C. This catalytic activity is slightly higher than that exhibited by iridium complexes of analogous bis(phosphino) PCP ligands. The bis(phosphinito) complex is resistant to decomposition for periods up to 7 days at temperatures as high as 200 °C thus matching the thermal stability of the bis(phosphino) pincer complexes. 相似文献

The exploitation of GLU988 and LYS903 residues in PARP1 as targets to design isoquinolinone (I & II) and naphthyridinone (III) analogues is described. Compounds of structure I have good biochemical and cellular potency but suffered from inferior PK. Constraining the linear propylene linker of structure I into a cyclopentene ring (II) offered improved PK parameters, while maintaining potency for PARP1. Finally, to avoid potential issues that may arise from the presence of an anilinic moiety, the nitrogen substituent on the isoquinolinone ring was incorporated as part of the bicyclic ring. This afforded a naphthyridinone scaffold, as shown in structure III. Further optimization of naphthyridinone series led to identification of a novel and highly potent PARP1 inhibitor 34, which was further characterized as preclinical candidate molecule. Compound 34 is orally bioavailable and displayed favorable pharmacokinetic (PK) properties. Compound 34 demonstrated remarkable antitumor efficacy both as a single-agent as well as in combination with chemotherapeutic agents in the BRCA1 mutant MDA-MB-436 breast cancer xenograft model. Additionally, compound 34 also potentiated the effect of agents such as temozolomide in breast cancer, pancreatic cancer and Ewing’s sarcoma models. 相似文献

Effective chemotherapy for solid cancers is challenging due to a limitation in permeation that prevents anticancer drugs from reaching the center of the tumor, therefore unable to limit cancer cell growth. To circumvent this issue, we planned to apply the drugs directly at the center by first collapsing the outer structure. For this, we focused on cell–cell communication (CCC) between N-glycans and proteins at the tumor cell surface. Mature N-glycans establish CCC; however, CCC is hindered when numerous immature N-glycans are present at the cell surface. Inhibition of Golgi mannosidases (GMs) results in the transport of immature N-glycans to the cell surface. This can be employed to disrupt CCC. Here, we describe the molecular design and synthesis of an improved GM inhibitor with a non-sugar mimic scaffold that was screened from a compound library. The synthesized compounds were tested for enzyme inhibition ability and inhibition of spheroid formation using cell-based methods. Most of the compounds designed and synthesized exhibited GM inhibition at the cellular level. Of those, AR524 had higher inhibitory activity than a known GM inhibitor, kifunensine. Moreover, AR524 inhibited spheroid formation of human malignant cells at low concentration (10 µM), based on the disruption of CCC by GM inhibition. 相似文献

A series of aryl carboxamide and benzylamino dispiro 1,2,4,5-tetraoxane analogues have been designed and synthesized in a short synthetic sequence from readily available starting materials. From this series of endoperoxides, molecules with in vitro IC50s versus Plasmodium falciparum (3D7) as low as 0.84?nM were identified. Based on an assessment of blood stability and in vitro microsomal stability, N205 (10a) was selected for rodent pharmacokinetic and in vivo antimalarial efficacy studies in the mouse Plasmodium berghei and Plasmodium falciparum Pf3D70087/N9 severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mouse models. The results indicate that the 4-benzylamino derivatives have excellent profiles with a representative of this series, N205, an excellent starting point for further lead optimization studies. 相似文献
