    Notes: To examine the importance of the aromatic side chains of enkephalin on opiate activity, we report the synthesis and conformational analysis of a series of analogues related to enkephalin with β-naphthylalanine in place of phenylalanine at the fourth position. Three linear analogues (Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-(L and D)-β Nal(1)-Leu-NH2 and Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-β Nal(2)-Leu-NH2) were initially synthesized to examine the effect of the substitution on biological activity. The increased activity of these peptides at the μ-opiate receptor, compared to native Leu-enkephalin, prompted us to examine the more conformational constrained analogues, Tr-c[D-A2bu-Gly-(L and D)-β Nal(1)-Leu], incorporating a α,γ-diaminobutyric acid at the second position and cyclization to the carboxylic end of the leucine. These two cyclic analogues provide insight into the necessity for the L chirality of the aromatic residue at position 4. The Tyr-c[D-A2bu-Gly-L-β Nal(1)-Leu] analogue is highly potent and displays a slight preference for the μ receptor. The conformational analysis indicates that despite the high flexibility of the tyrosine side chain, the aromatic rings of the tyrosine and naphthylalanine are relatively distant from each other. The presence of two intramolecular hydrogen bonds help maintain the conformation of the 14-membered backbone ring that keeps the side chains directed away from each other. These findings are in agreement with our model of an extended structure required for μ selectivity and a folded form with close aromatic ring placement for δ selectivity.

    Notes: In both thermal emulsion polymerization of styrene in the temperature range 60-80 °C, and peroxodisulfate-initiated polymerization at 60 °C, weight-average to number-average molecular-weight ratios (M̄w/M̄n) approach 1,5 when potassium octadecanoate is used as emulsifier. A low activation energy for thermal initiation (≈66,0 kJ/mol) was deduced which may indicate a catalytic effect of the emulsifier during the thermal initiation process. Participation of the emulsifier is probably attributed to a transfer of one of two monomer radicals, produced thermally, to the emulsifier, with subsequent desorption to the aqueous phase, leaving one radical in the polymerization locus.

    Notes: Using the preirradiation technique a kinetic study of the grafting of the 4-vinyl pyridine (V4P) and an aliphatic ammonium monomer (ALAM) onto the copolymer film of ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) has been performed. The influence of dose, temperature, and concentration of monomer, reticular agent, and inhibitor were investigated. The results are discussed on the basis of the interactions between monomer diffusibility and viscosity of the medium. The characteristics of some membranes were determined. Their applicability to the recovery of acid by dialysis is demonstrated.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die elektrische Leitfähigkeit (σ) von Cellulose-HYPHAN® und seinen Komplexen mit Cr3+, Mn2+, Mo5+ und Hg2+ wurde im Temperaturbereich 25-510°C bestimmt. Die Aktivierungsenergie wurde aus der Abhängigkeit von log σ von der reziproken Temperatur berechnet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß die Leitfähigkeit mit steigender Temperatur zunimmt und dabei zwei Maxima durchläuft. Das erste Maximum läßt sich dem Wassergehalt zuordnen, während das zweite mit dem thermischen Abbau der Cellulose-Kette zusammenhängt. Die Werte der Aktivierungsenergie lassen darauf schlieäen, daß sich beim Erhitzen die Halbleitereigenschaften der Komplexe verbessern.
    Notes: The electrical conductivity, σ, of cellulose HYPHAN® and its complexes with Cr3+, Mn2+, Mo5+ or Hg2+ was measured from room temperature to 510°C. The activation energy, ΔE, of the samples was calculated from log σ against 1/T curves. The results show that the electrical conductivity increases by temperature with two maximum peaks. The first peak is attributed to the moisture content, while the second one is attributed to the thermal degradation of the cellulose chain. The values of the activation energy indicate that the samples change from low semiconductor to high semiconductor property with heating.

    Notes: In order to study structure-activity relationships of enkephalin-related analogues, we report the biological activity and conformational analysis of four 14-membered cyclic enkephalin analogues with β-(1-naphthyl)alanine in place of phenylalanine at the fourth position, Tyr-c[D-A2bu-Gly-(L and D)-βNal(1)-(L and D)-Leu]. The L-βNal(1)-containing analogues display higher activity at both the μ and δ receptors than the corresponding analogues with the L-Phe residue. In contrast to the linear enkephalins, the cyclic analogues with the D-βNal(1) residue are also active at the μ receptor since the relative spatial arrangement of functional groups required for biological activity is achieved by the constrained nature of the cyclic molecules. A comparison of the findings from the conformational analysis and biological assays establishes that relatively extended structures, in which the two aromatic side chains are oriented in opposite directions with a ∼ 14Å separation, is required for activity at the μ receptor. On the other hand, folded conformations with nearly parallel orientations and a close proximity ( 〈 10Å) of the aromatic rings of the Tyr and βNal(1) residues are required for activity at the δ receptor. It should be noted that the overall structures and thus the biological profiles of the 14-membered cyclic enkephalin analogues are strongly dependent on the conformation of the second residue. The folded conformations with parallel orientation of the two aromatic side chains of Tyr-c [D-A2bu-Gly-L-βNal (1)-D-Leu] is stabilized by an interaction between the Tyr phenolic OH proton and βNal(1) C*O groups. This analogue, which shows the highest activity at both the μ and δ receptors among the four stereoisomers studied, displays an increase of the fraction of the side-chain χ1 = t conformer for the βNal(1) residue. It is concluded that the incorporation of the D-Leu residue at the fifth position increases the relative fraction of the folded conformations with parallel orientation of the aromatic side chains, and hence enhances activity at the δ receptor as compared to the corresponding L-Leu containing analogue.

    Notes: We have investigated the conformational effects of modifying the amide group in model dipeptides. The N-methyl amide ψ[CO-NMe], N-hydroxy amide ψ[CO-N(OH)], N-amino amide ψ[ CO-N (NH2)], retro amide ψ[ NH-CO], reduced amide in the neutral ψ[CH2-NH] and protonated ψ[CH2-N + H2] state, and hydrazide ψ[CO-NH-NH] have been introduced as surrogates of the amide link in pseudopeptide derivatives of the Pro-Gly or Ala-Gly model dipeptides protected on both termini by an amide group. These compounds have been studied in solution by proton nmr and ir spectroscopy, and in the solid state by x-ray diffraction, giving an extended data set of experimental structural and conformational information on pseudopeptide sequences. The conformational effects depend both on the nature and the position of the modified amide link. Some modifications appear to have no intrinsic conformational induction (N-amino and retro amide), but destabilize any local folded structure by hydrogen-bond breaking. Because of the formation of strong intramolecular interactions, others are capable of stabilizing a β-turn (for example protonated reduced amide), or of inducing a particular local conformation such as a β- or γ-like turn (for example N-hydroxy amide). The particular geometry of the cis N-methyl amide and of the “hydrazino” proline favors the formation of a sharp turn of the main chain. All these structural data are of interest to the design of bioactive peptide mimics. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Glycidyl (2,3-epoxypropyl) esters are convenient reagents for the fixation of carboxylic acid moieties on polymeric support of the polyacid type. This way of synthesis was applied to 1-naphthylacetic acid on poly(methacrylic acid). Esterification of 1-naphthylacetyl chloride by glycidol (2,3-epoxy-1-propanol) and addition of 1-naphthylacetic acid on epichlorohydrin (1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane) with subsequent reformation of the oxirane ring have been used for the synthesis of the glycidyl ester but the reaction of the potassium salt of the acid with epichlorohydrin leads to a better yield. Addition of 1-naphthylacetic acid on glycidyl acetate was studied in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and acetonitrile. The best results were obtained in DMF. The reaction is of first order with respect of epoxide, but 2nd order applies when the solvent is acetonitrile. The same reaction conditions as for glycidyl acetate were used for the chemical modification of poly(methacrylic acid) with glycidyl 1-naphthylacetate except that methanol was used as the solvent.

    Notes: The effect of high-energy ion implantation of oxygen into a thin film of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Mylar samples 13 μm thick were implanted with 6-MeV oxygen ions at fluences ranging from 5 × 1012 to 2 × 1014 ions/cm2. The DSC data showed a substantial loss of crystallinity, even at the lowest fluence, which extended deeper into the polymer film than the predicted range for oxygen deceleration in PET. Solubility measurements indicated the presence of cross-linking, especially at the highest fluence, but bands due to cross-linking could not be detected in the infrared. The trans/gauche ratio for the glycol group conformation was measured by a pair of conformationally sensitive infrared bands. Surprisingly, the conformation of the glycol segments did not change appreciably with increasing fluence, although crystallinity decreased and degree of cross-linking increased. The implications these results have on possible mechanisms of chemical and physical alterations of the polymer structure by ion implantation are discussed.

    Notes: Poly(vinylidene fluoride) films were implanted with high-energy (up to 6 MeV) He, C, O, and Ni ions and characterized using DSC, FTIR, and solubility measurements. None of the ions were energetic enough to penetrate the polymer film completely. The effects of ion energy, fluence, and ion type were studied individually. The implantation process lowered the crystallinity, induced crosslinking, and produced carbonyl groups on the polymer. The ion energy (in the range 0.4-4.5 MeV for He ions) had the most drastic effect, the radiation damage was found to increase with decreasing energy. The sample implanted with 0.4 MeV He ions lost 81% of its initial crystallinity and was only 24% soluble, even though the incident ions have a range of only 2.7 μm in this case. The other samples retained most of their initial crystallinity but still were substantially cross-linked. The results can be qualitatively explained by assuming that hydrogen free radicals, produced during implantation, can diffuse throughout the sample and react, resulting in crystallinity and solubility losses beyond the ion deceleration region.
