    Notes: Living vegetative D. discoideum amoebae were studied to determine whether their filopodia respond to folic acid, a chemoattractant for these cells. Exponentially growing amoebae (ca. 10 μm diameter) exhibit 5-30 μm long filopodia; at stationary phase, aggregation competent amoebae have numerous multibranched filopodia up to 100 μm long. Folic acid was observed to stimulate production, elongation, and branching of filopodia with its effects progressively changing as the amoebae approach aggregation. Filopodial construction was also found to be dependent upon Mg2+ levels. The significance of these results is discussed with respect to progressive changes within the vegetative phase as well as to the mechanisms of amoeboid movement, pseudopodial activity, and chemotaxis.

    Notes: Cellular motile systems as diverse as muscle and the mitotic spindle have been compared by their specific power output: the maximum power they develop per unit of engine volume. Striated muscles and flagella have high specific output; their performance is comparable to that of typical automobile engines. The cytokinetic furrow and the mitotic spindle have very much lower specific power output. The furrow's output is 7,000 times lower than muscle and the spindle's is 300,000 times lower. Different macromolecules have been used to generate power in systems with similar output (muscles and flagella) and, conversely, the same macromolecular motor has been used in systems with very different output (muscles and cytokinetic furrows). The common feature amid this diversity is adaptation to a particular biological role, which specific power output reflects very well. High values are found where a powerful, compact engine should be advantageous, while low values are found where precision, not power, matters most.

    Energy requirements for pigment aggregation in Fundulus melanophores (1984)

    Notes: Teleost chromatophores are filled with individual pigment granules that rapidly aggregate to the cell center or become dispersed throughout the cytoplasm in response to environmental stimuli. Microtubules appear to be required for pigment aggregation (movement toward the cell center), and recent findings have suggested that a dynein-like ATPase may participate in force production. Based on previous studies, however, it has been argued that pigment aggregation does not require energy directly, a view that supports the involvement of an elastic component in granule movement. To examine this point further, we have reinvestigated the energy requirements for pigment aggregation using both intact cells and detergent-permeabilized cell models of Fundulus melanophores. Poisons of oxidative phosphorylation, namely, 2,4 dinitrophenol and NaCN, reversibly inhibit melanosome aggregation in response to adrenaline. Inhibition of movement results directly from depletion of intracellular ATP, since pigment translocation can be reactivated in permeabilized cells by the addition of exogenous ATP to the lysis buffer. Non-hydrolyzable analogues, including β,γ-imidoadenosine-5′-triphosphate (AMPPNP), β,γ-methylene adenosine-5′-triphosphate (AMPPCP), and ATPγS, will not substitute for ATP in reactivation of movement. Similarly, other nucleotides such as ADP, AMP, GTP, CTP, and ITP, have limited ability to support melanosome aggregation in metabolically poisoned cells subjected to detergent lysis. ATP itself has no effect on intact cells. These results indicate that melanosome aggregation is ATP-dependent and energy-driven, and are consistent with a role for a force-transducing ATPase in particle movement.

    An unusual mechanism of cell contraction: Leptodiscinae Dinoflagellates (1984)

    Notes: The Leptodiscinae, a group of marine Dinoflagellates, are good material for the study of contraction though they cannot be collected in abundance. Their cell bodies are flattened anteroposteriorly (Leptodiscus, Leptophyllus, and Leptospathium) and are able to contract suddenly when the surrounding water is disturbed.Electron microscopical observations have shown that the structures responsible for the contraction consist of a layer of parallel filaments located beneath the cell membrane of some specialized parts of the body. These filaments seem to be nonactin (NAF) because of their diameter (2.5-3 nm) and because they are not decorated by heavy meromyosin (HMM). They appear helically coiled and doubly twisted, and form tubular structures when contracted.

    A flagellar surface glycoprotein mediating cell-substrate interaction in Chlamydomonas (1984)

    Topics: Biology , Medicine
    Notes: The Chlamydomonas flagellar surface exhibits interesting adhesive properties that are associated with flagellar surface motility. This dynamic surface property can be exhibited as the binding and movement of small polystyrene microspheres or as the interaction of the flagellar surface with a solid substrate followed by whole cell locomotion, termed “gliding.” In order to identify flagellar surface proteins that mediate substrate interaction during flagellar surface motility, two immobilized iodination systems were employed that mimic the conditions for flagellar surface motility: small polystyrene microspheres derivatized with lactoperoxidase, and large glass beads derivatized with Iodogen. Use of these iodination conditions resulted in preferential iodination of a high-molecular-weight glycoprotein with apparent molecular weight of 300,000-350,000. These results suggest this glycoprotein as a major candidate for the surface-exposed adhesive component that directly interacts with the substrate and couples the substrate to a system of force transduction presumed to be located within the flagellum.

    Ca2+-dependent contraction of human lung fibroblasts treated with triton X-100: A role of Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation of myosin 20,000-dalton light chain (1984)

    Notes: Human lung fibroblast MRC-5 cells treated with Triton X-100 (MRC-5 cell models) were able to contract in the presence of MgATP and Ca2+ of more than 1 μM. Immunofluorescence microscopy with antibodies to actin and myosin 20,000-dalton (20 Kd) light chain revealed that stress fibers were prominent in MRC-5 cell models. Use of a fluorescent actin probe, 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole-phallacidin permitted visualization of contraction of the stress fibers in the presence of MgATP and Ca2+. Of the proteins in MRC-5 cell models, only a myosin 20 Kd light chain was phosphorylated in a Ca2+-dependent manner. This Ca2+-dependent phosphorylation of the 20 Kd light chain closely corresponded with the contraction of MRC-5 cell models: 1) Both phosphorylation of the 20 Kd light chain and contraction of MRC-5 cell models were inhibited by calmodulin antagonists such as N-(6-aminohexyl)5-chloro-1-napthalene sulfonamide. 2) The threshold Ca2+ concentration for phosphorylation of the 20 Kd light chain was similar to that for contraction of MRC-5 cell models. Both were lowered by exogenous calmodulin in a concentration-dependent manner. 3) The 20 Kd light chain was thiophosphorylated by incubation of MRC-5 cell models with an ATP analogue, adenosine 5′-0-(3-thiotriphosphate) only in the presence of Ca2+. After this treatment, MRC-5 cell models lost the Ca2+-dependence for contraction. These results indicate that Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation of myosin 20 Kd light chain is required for contraction of MRC-5 cell models.

    Notes: Detailed measurements were made of the time course of the motion of bull spermatozoa. Fourier analysis of the data showed the time course to be basically sinusoidal within 2% to 3%. An asymmetry in the motion was present, resulting in a second harmonic component in the Fourier spectra of normal sperm of approximately 11% of the main component. When the energy metabolism of the sperm was inhibited or when the external viscosity of the medium was raised, the asymmetry was reduced. When the internal Mg2+ content of the sperm was lowered, the asymmetry was increased. The asymmetries and the corresponding second harmonic components in the Fourier spectra were correlated with the overall bend shape of the sperm and with the curvature of the path in which the sperm were swimming. Model calculations showed that the asymmetry could reside in either the internal active moments in the sperms or in the stiffness of the sperm fiagella.

    Actin microfilaments in paramecium: Localization and role in intracellular movements (1984)

    Notes: Using heavy meromyosin (HMM) or the fragment S1 of myosin as probes for actin microfilaments, we studied their organization in Paramecium both by fluorescence and electron microscopy.In interphasic cells, HMM decorates (a) most prominently the periphery of nascent and young food vacuoles and their route during the early phase of their intracellular transit; (b) a thin meshwork radiating from the gullet throughout the cytoplasm; (c) a small area beneath the pore of contractile vacuoles and beneath the cytoproct when open to release food residues. Most of these HMM-decorated structures are in close contact with microtubular arrays. All HMM decoration disappears in dividing cells and in cytochalasin-treated cells. In vivo, the drug immediately blocks food vacuole formation but does not affect cytokinesis, cyclosis, contractile vacuole pulsation, defecation, or nuclear movements.The data show that, as in the cells of other organisms, actin microfilaments form defined arrays that undergo physiologically controlled cycles of assembly/disassembly. These arrays contribute (at least in the phagocytotic process) to diverse types of movement: constriction, membrane fusion, and migration of food vacuoles. However, aside from their massive concentration along the phagocytotic tractus, actin microfilaments are neither major structural components of Paramecium cytoplasm nor the only cytoskeletal components ensuring motility or contractility processes.

    A comparison of methods used to characterize gelation of actin in vitro (1984)

    Notes: We have compared the meniscus depletion assay and falling ball viscometry, two means of assessing the extent of gelation in actin-based systems using mixtures of actin and the actin-binding protein filamin. We examined the effect of varying the concentrations of actin and filamin in both assays. The interaction of actin and filamin was detected only above a threshold concentration of filamin. This threshold concentration was lower for falling ball viscometry than for the meniscus depletion assay at equal actin concentrations. At constant concentrations of filamin, an increase in actin concentration caused an increase in apparent viscosity measured by the falling ball assay, but a decrease in sedimentability detected by the meniscus depletion assay. The rate of sedimentation of actin was dependent on the molar ratio of actin to filamin. At each molar ratio, the sedimentation of actin was not dependent on the specific concentrations of actin and filamin used. The apparent viscosity was dependent on both the molar ratio and the specific concentrations of actin and filamin. To relate the present results to earlier studies, we examined mixtures of actin and filamin using a macroscopic assay of gelation (tube tipping assay), and polarized light microscopy. The effect of increasing filamin concentration in the four assays was compared at three actin concentrations. Mixtures of actin and filamin whose apparent viscosities were low enough to be estimated by falling ball viscometry were optically isotropic fluids that flowed out of inverted test tubes. Mixtures of actin and filamin in the range of sensitivity of the meniscus depletion assay were either viscous fluids or gels, and were either optically isotropic or anisotropic. Thus, the four assays provide different estimates of gelation. Both the meniscus depletion assay and falling ball viscometry can be used to determine relative gelation activity, but neither can be used as a quantitative assay of gelation.

    Interaction of bimane-labeled fluorescent tubulin with the isolated mitotic apparatus (1984)

    Notes: Fluorescent derivatives of cellular proteins that retain their native characteristics have become useful probes to investigate the dynamics of specific cytoskeletal proteins. In the experiments reported here, a previously characterized fluorescent derivative of tubulin, bimane-tubulin [Wadsworth and Sloboda, 1982a], was used to investigate microtubule assembly in vitro. The results demonstrate that bimanetubulin was competent to assemble onto a variety of organizing centers in vitro, including microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs) present in homogenates of sea urchin eggs, isolated mitotic apparatuses (MAs), and lysed mitotic cells. When homogenates of fertilized sea urchin eggs containing MTOCs were incubated with bimane-tubulin at 37°C, discrete areas of linear fluorescence were observed. Only diffuse fluorescence was observed when calcium or colchicine was added to the homogenate or if the temperature was maintained at 0°C. Negative-stain electron microscopy of the fluorescent arrays revealed morphologically normal microtubules radiating from electron dense regions. When mitotic spindles, isolated in glycerol containing buffers and therefore cold stable, were incubated with bimane-tubulin, linear fluorescence was observed emanating from the spindle poles but not from the region occupied by the kinetochores. MAs incubated with bimane-labeled bovine serum albumin or bimane-labeled microtubule-associated proteins showed only diffuse fluorescence. However, when mitotic cells which were hypotonically lysed in the absence of detergents or microtubule stabilizing solvents, were perfused with bimane-tubulin intense fluorescence was observed in the asters and throughout the spindle. Two experiments suggested that the fluorescence observed in the results outlined above was due to the assembly of normal microtubules from the fluorescent subunits. First, the observed fluorescence was sensitive to cold temperataure, which is known to disassemble microtubules. Second, when the isolated, fluorescent MAs were examined by thin section electron microscopy, microtubules of normal diameter were seen. No aggregated material appeared associated with the walls of the microtubules, which might have been expected if the fluorescent protein was nonspecifically adsorbed to the microtubules. The results of these experiments demonstrate that isolated, stabilized MAs support the growth of new microtubules from the spindle poles while labile spindles, present in lysed cells, incorporate fluorescent tubulin throughout the spindle and asters. The significance of these results for hypotheses concerning microtubule assembly and disassembly during mitosis is discussed.

    Notes: We present observations on the relative location of the centriole and keratin filament cap in motile PtK1 cells. Subconfluent cells were double labeled with anticentriole and antikeratin sera. These preparations revealed that the centriole is separate from, but neighboring, the keratin filament cap. Serial ultrathin sections confirm this observation. These observations are consistent with the idea that the microtubule organizing center and intermediate filament distribution center are not identical or concentric in PtK1 cells.

    Notes: Parameters to describe flagellar bending patterns can be obtained by a microcomputer procedure that uses a set of parameters to synthesize model bending patterns, compares the model bending patterns with digitized and filtered data from flagellar photographs, and uses the Simplex method to vary the parameters until a solution with minimum root mean square differences between the model and the data is found. Parameters for Chlamydomonas bending patterns have been obtained from comparison of shear angle curves for the model and the data. To avoid the determination of the orientation of the basal end of the flagellum, which is required for calculation of shear angles, parameters for sperm flagella have been obtained by comparison of curves of curvature as a function of length for the model and for the data. A constant curvature model, modified from that originally used for Chlamydomonas flagella, has been used for obtaining parameters from sperm flagella, but the methods can be applied using other models for synthesizing the model bending patterns.

    Notes: Reorganization of intermediate filaments during cell spreading is examined by immunofluorescence, electron microscopy, and time-lapse video microscopy. A juxtanuclear cap, believed to correspond to the intermediate filament distribution center, was observed to be spatially related to the organization of the intermediate filament network as cells spread. A keratin cap was observed, which appeared spontaneously in motile PtK1 cells. Cap formation may be a consequence of retraction of intermediate filaments from the cytoplasm as cells move. The position of this juxtanuclear cap is related to the direction of movement, located on the side of the nucleus near the advancing edge of the cell. As the cell spreads, the cap disappears as the keratin filament network returns to the cytoplasm. Evidence presented here is consistent with the hypothesis that the distribution center mediates keratin filament organization during cell shape change.

    Notes: In vitro models have been developed recently to study the ability of fibroblasts to generate tensile force within collagen gels. The present study was initiated to assess the role of the cytoskeleton in the cell shape changes and force generation in one such model system. Porcine periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PPLF) were cultured within three-dimensional collagen gels attached to glass coverslips. Fluorescence microscopy, using nitrobenzooxadizole (NBD)-phallacidin labeling for microfilaments and tubulin antibody staining for microtubules, was combined with phase and Nomarski optics to determine the intra- and extracellular architecture of the cells and collagen fibers. Samples were observed from 30 minutes to 24 hours after initiation of cell attachment. During attachment and spreading, NBD-phallacidin staining changed dramatically until large microfilament bundles became prominent. Collagen fiber alignment, compaction, and finally tearing from the coverslip occurred during this time. After release of tension, microfilament bundles were no longer evident. The change in microtubule distribution during these processes was less dramatic, appearing to follow the change in cell shape. These results indicate that microfilaments play an essential role in generating force to align and compact collagen, while microtubules may have a secondary role only.

    Induction of shape transformation in sea urchin coelomocytes by the calcium ionophore A23187 (1984)

    Notes: We have investigated the ability of the Ca+ + ionophore A23187 to induce the transformation of petaloid sea urchin coleomocytes to the filopodial form. The response of individual cells to different media was observed with time-lapse phasecontrast video microscopy. In the presence of 1 mM CaCl2, isotonic medium containing 1-5 μM A23187 produces a similar shape transformation to that caused by hypotonic shock. Higher concentrations of ionophore (10-20 μM) induce the formation of filopodia that are thinner and less rigid than those generated by hypotonic shock or low doses of ionophore. A23187 also induces shape transformation in highly flattened cells that do not respond fully to hypotonic shock. The induction of cytoplasmic alkalinization by NH4Cl, methylamine-HCl, or the Na+ ionophore monensin does not induce shape transformation, suggesting that increased intracellular pH is not the stimulus for this process. Ultrastructural changes in cytoskeletal organization were examined in negatively stained detergent-extracted cells. Low doses of ionophore produce filopodia that are indistin-guishable from those of hypotonically shocked cells, with actin filament bundles that are straight and cohesive along their entire length. High concentrations of ionophore produce filopodia with filament bundles that branch repeatedly and splay apart near their tips, forming loops and irregular curves. These results suggest that an increase in intracellular free Ca+ + concentration acts as the trigger that stimulates coelomocyte shape transformation, but that abnormally high concentrations of intracellular Ca+ +, produced by high doses of ionophore, interfere with actin filament bundling.

    Notes: In a permeabilized axon model, exogenous ATP can reactivate intraaxonal saltatory organelle movements (microscopically visible manifestations of fast axonal transport). We have studied the dependence of the reactivated movements on the ATP concentration and have also examined the nucleotide specificity of the reactivation. Organelle transport was visualized in isolated lobster giant motor axons using Nomarski optics and video microscopy. The axons were permeabilized with saponin, and movement was reactivated with ATP or other nucleotides. Some slight movement was seen with ATP concentrations as low as 10 μM. The velocity and frequency of the reactivated transport increased with increasing ATP concentrations up to about 5 mM. Movement was also reactivated by deoxyadenosine triphosphate, but not by AMP-PNP (a nonhydrolyzable ATP analogue), ADP, or AMP. Although other nucleotides (CTP, GTP, UTP, ITP) could reactivate transport, movement equivalent to that produced by 0.1 mM ATP was only seen with tenfold or greater concentrations of the other nucleotides. This pattern of specificity is consistent with the hypothesis that a dynein-like ATPase, rather than a myosin, is involved in fast axonal transport.

    Notes: Fluorescent analogs of cellular components are finding increasing use in the field of cell biology. The power of this technique can be augmented by the use of antibodies specific for the fluorophore to visualize selectively the fluorescent analog at the electron microscope level. Rabbit antibodies specific for fluorescein were elicited and purified according to published methods (Lopatin and Voss [1971]: Biochemistry 10:208). Immune sera and IgG formed precipitin lines with fluorescein-labeled proteins in Ouchterlony immunodiffusion assays, and significantly quenched the fluorescence of fluorescein-labeled proteins. Immune IgG and Fab fragments decorated fluorescein-labeled actin, but not unlabeled actin, in negative-stained preparations. Anti-fluorescein IgG was used for immunofluorescent localization of fluorescein-labeled actin following microinjection of the fluorescent analog into living cells. This approach was extended to the immunoelectron microscopic localization of the injected analog at the subcellular level by the use of an electron-dense marker coupled to goat anti-rabbit IgG. Many other fluorescent probes also can be used as haptens for production of antibodies. Therefore, a general method for localizing fluorescently labeled molecules at the electron microscopic level is now available. Several other applications of anti-fluorescein antibody in studies involving fluorescent analogs are also suggested.

    Notes: Iontophoretic application of ATP to the flagellum of the demembranated hamster spermatozoon produced a planar pair of bends at the two ends of the stimulated site. During bend propagation, torsion appeared in the vicinity of the interbend in some responses such that the distal bend was twisted clockwise when viewed from the base of the flagellum. This pattern of propagation is consistent with the instantaneous configurations of free-swimming cells previously described. The technique used here establishes that the three dimensionality arises from propagation per se, and does not depend on forces developed during swimming. The rolling of both free-swimming intact and demembranated spermatozoa was examined by two-color darkground videomicroscopy and the direction of rotation was, as predicted, always anticlockwise. A hypothetical mechanism, involving differential speeds of propagation of active sliding within the active microtubule subset, is proposed to account for the observed waveforms.

    Notes: A new formula calculates rates of directed axonal growth (elongation or retraction) using measurements of growth cone movements. By explicitly separating changes in axonal length from other nonelongational growth cone movements, the calculated rates reflect the detailed cellular growth mechanisms more directly than previous growth measures. In addition, the formula produces three distinct parameters of axonal elongation: n, a growth step rate; s, a growth step size; and P, a probability that a growth step leads to axonal elongation. For normal and regenerating individual chick and frog axons in culture, the formula has quantitated the following differences: the axon itself can elongate more rapidly in the chick, and the axon elongates in smaller steps in the chick. The underlying dynamics of growth of regenerating axons are quite similar to normal axons, but, in the short term, regenerating axons elongate in larger steps and at a slower rate. The distribution of these new rate measurements suggests that the elongation of axons can be usefully modelled as a one-dimensional stochastic walk.

    Microtubule crossbridging by Chlamydomonas dynein (1984)

    Notes: Dynein, obtained from axonemes of Chlamydomonas, binds by both its A and B ends to microtubules assembled from twice cycled (2 ×) and purified (6S) brain tubulin as well as to microtubules in native spindles, thereby inducing microtubule crossbridging. The two ends of the dynein arm exhibit distinct binding characteristics for the different microtubule preparations. Greater than 99% of the dynein arms are bound exclusively by their B ends to microtubules assembled from 6S tubulin in the presence of dynein and decorated to saturation. In contrast, greater than 80% of the dynein arms are bound by both their A and B ends to and, therefore, crossbridge 6S microtubules that are only partially dynein decorated. Binding of the A end of the dynein arm to saturated 6S microtubules can be enhanced by destabilizing the binding of the B end upon addition of ATP and vanadate. These observations suggest that Chlamydomonas dynein arms can bind by their A ends to microtubules assembled from 6S tubulin only when the B ends of the arms either are not bound or are bound but do not occupy all available dynein binding sites. Dynein exhibits a slight preference for binding by its A end to microtubules assembled from 2 × tubulin and containing microtubule associated proteins (MAPs). Approximately 90% of the dynein arms crossbridge adjacent 2 × microtubles that are only partially decorated. But as saturation of these microtubules with dynein is approached, the majority of the arms are bound solely by their A ends, while a smaller percentage are bound by their B ends or by both their A and B ends. These studies indicate that the type of microtubule as well as the degree of saturation of the microtubule with dynein can determine whether microtubule crossbridging occurs.

    Notes: Cardiac myocytes were isolated from 5-6-day-old chick embryos and allowed to spread in culture. The distribution of alpha-actinin in the cells was followed for five days in culture by exposing permeabilized cells to rhodamine-labeled alpha-actinin and also by injecting the labeled alpha-actinin into living myocytes. In addition to labeling the Z bands of sarcomeres, the added alpha-actinin also labeled small particles that were usually arranged periodically in linear arrays with a spacing between particles of 0.3-2.0 μm. Actin was localized between the particles of alpha-actinin by means of fluorescein-labeled heavy meromyosin. The punctate localization of alpha-actinin was prominent in pseudopods, behind ruffles, and at the periphery of spreading cells. Long rows of particles of alpha-actinin were often parallel to one another with the alpha-actinin particles in register. These linear arrays appeared to merge laterally to form strands with broader concentrations of alpha-actinin. Other linear arrays were parallel to myofibrils in the cell and some extended outward from the ends of myofibrils. We conclude that during spreading of cardiac myocytes, myofibrils form at the cell periphery behind the extending margins of the cell, and that the aggregates of alpha-actinin found in these areas are nascent Z bands in the forming myofibrils.

    Notes: A magnetic sphere viscoelastometer has been developed to peform rheological experiments in living axoplasm of Loligo pealei. The technique includes the use of a calibrated magnetic sphere viscoelastometer on surgically implanted ferro-magnetic spheres in intact squid giant axons. The axoplasm was discerned to be “living” by the biological criterion of tubulovesicular organelle motility, which was observed before and after experimentation. From these in vivo experiments, new structural characteristics of the axoplasm have been identified. First, analysis of magnetic sphere trajectories has shown the axoplasm to be a complex viscoelastic fluid. Directional experimentation showed that this material is structurally anisotropic, with a greater elastic modulus in the direction parallel to the axon long axis. Second, both magnetic sphere and in vivo capillary experiments suggested that the axoplasm is tenaciously anchored to the axolemma. Third, it was found that axoplasm could be modelled as a linear viscoelastic material in the low shear rate range of 0.0001 to 0.004 s-1. The simplest mechanical model incorporating the discovered properties of the material in this range is Burger's model.

    Notes: In living tissue, membrane-bound organelles, including mitochondria, move along parallel cytoplasmic pathways. Motion is directed and tends to be confined to a single path. Deviations from this single path motion are rare. When present, however, they tend to occur at points of intersection of cytoskeletal linear elements (LE). Such intersections are relatively uncommon in intact axons and extruded axoplasm. However, we have found that such intersections can be produced in extruded preparations by shear forces directed tangential to the axoplasmic surface.We have studied the detailed behavior of mitochondria in extruded squid axoplasm. Special attention was directed to the relationship between mitochondrial shape changes and orientation of cytoskeletal LE. The most striking of these changes in shape is branching. In this process, the mitochondrion transiently assumes a triradial (three-ended) shape. This appearance may be maintained for seconds to minutes before the normal cylindrical shape is resumed by absorption of either the newly formed end or, more commonly, one of the original ends. The frequency of branching appears to be dependent on the degree of cytoskeletal organization. It becomes more common as the number of apparent intersections between cytoskeletal LE increases. Further, the formation of new ends seems to occur along paths defined by cytoskeletal elements.These observations suggest that the mitochondrial membrane is multivalent. That is, it contains multiple sites capable of interacting with the axonal force generation apparatus. Furthermore, LE in the cytoskeleton may indicate the paths along which these interactions are permissible.

    Notes: Taxol stabilizes or promotes the assembly of microtubules. In this report we characterize the rate, extent, and reversibility of taxol stabilization of calciumlabile microtubules in isolated mitotic spindles, principally from embryos of the sand dollar Echinarachnius parma. The intense depolymerizing action of 100 μM Ca2+ was used to assess the extent of stabilization by taxol. Changes in spindle microtubule assembly were evaluated and recorded by measuring changes in spindle birefringent retardation (BR). Membrane-free mitotic spindles, isolated with a calcium-chelating, nonionic detergent buffer, were stored in an EGTA-gylcerol storage buffer to prevent microtubule depolymerization. When perfused with an EGTA-buffer without glycerol, microtubules in these isolated spindles depolymerized gradually over 60-120 min; but in isolated spindles perfused with buffer that contained 100 μM Ca2+, BR decreased by 90% within 2-5 sec. In contrast, spindles that were pretreated for 3 min with 1 μM taxol, or for about 30 sec with 10 μM taxol, lost less than 10% of their initial BR when perfused with buffer containing 100 μM Ca2+. The rate and extent of microtubule stabilization by taxol depended on both the concentration and the duration of exposure to taxol. Taxol stabilization was reversible. After a 15 min preincubation with 1 μM or 10 μM taxol then washout, stability of spindle BR to 100 μM Ca2+ decreased exponentially with a time constant of 30-60 min. Thus taxol dissociates from spindle microtubules at significant rates; taxol-stabilized microtubules are not “fixed.”

    Notes: The mechanism responsible for the energy-dependent movement of membrane components (ie, surface motility) is unknown. Recently a potentially unifying model, termed “surf-riding” [Hewitt, 1979] or “surf-boarding” [Berlin and Oliver, 1982], has been proposed to explain surface motility. Using phase-contrast light microscopy and membrane surface markers (polystyrene microspheres), we have tested the surf-riding/surf-boarding hypothesis on two protozoan systems: the axopodia of the heliozoan Echinosphaerium nucleofilum and the reticulopodial networks of the allogromiid foraminiferans Allogromia laticollaris and Allogromia sp, strain NF. Our evidence indicates that surface motility, as displayed by these organisms, does not occur by a surf-riding/surf-boarding mechanism. Previouś observations on surface motility associated with the Chlamydomonas flagellum indicate that this system is also incompatible with the surf-boarding/surf-riding hypothesis.

    Notes: Sea urchin coelomocytes were used as a model system to investigate the distribution and role of microtubules and microfilaments in cell spreading and filopodial formation. By using immunoblot characterized antisera to tubulin and actin coupled with immunofluorescence techniques, cellular protrusions were seen to contain actin filaments but no microtubules. Cells depleted of MT's by cold and colcemid treatments could attach, spread, and transform to the filopodial morphology normally.

    Direct visualization of particle velocity distribution by pseudostereoscopic viewing of time-lapsed sequential images: Application to fast axonal transport (1984)

    Notes: We describe a simple method for direct visualization of the velocity distribution of particles moving against an immobile background. The technique involves pseudostereoscopic viewing of image pairs separated by an appropriate time interval in a sequential recording of the subject. Under these conditions, the positive or negative parallax arising from particle motion results in the binocular image of a particle being perceived as raised or lowered relative to an immobile background plane depending on its direction of movement, and with the degree of perceived elevation being proportional to its speed. In effect, the binocular optic axis becomes a velocity (speed) axis under these conditions. The technique is illustrated with examples of image pair sequences showing fast axonal transport in lobster and squid axons using video-enhanced differential interference contrast microscopy. However, the pseudostereoscopic method is quite generally applicable to both microscopic and macroscopic time-dependent phenomena. Particle speeds can be quantitated using standard procedures for measuring frame-to-frame particle displacements, or alternatively, by determination of parallax using stereogrammatic methods. It should be also readily adaptable for on-line monitoring of particle velocity distribution, particularly in video systems where frame buffers can be utilized to extract and present serial image pairs having any desired time separation from video-taped sequences.

    Mutants in paramecium tetraurelia defective in their axonemal response to calcium (1984)

    Notes: Six mutants of Paramecium tetraurelia, which display altered axonemal responses to Ca++, are described. The mutants, designated atalantas, are impaired in their ability to swim backward when stimulated by ions or heat; instead they spin very rapidly in one place. Three mutants, ataA1-3, are completely unable to swim backward. The three lines, however, can be distinguished from one another by their forward swimming velocities. The remaining three mutants are leaky. ataB swims backward briefly when stimulated, then stops and spins in place. ataC and ataD are extremely leaky and only display the spinning phenotype at elevated temperatures. An electrophysiological analysis reveals that all six mutants have normal membrane properties, including the Ca++ inward current under voltage clamp. When the membrane is disrupted so as to allow the axoneme free access to Ca++, wild-type cells swim backward, but the mutants do not. These data indicate the site(s) of lesion in the mutants is in the axoneme or in some step linking Ca++ influx and the axoneme, not within the ciliary membrane. These mutants may be useful in investigating the role of Ca++ in the regulation of axonemal motion.

    Notes: Cultured bovine adrenal medullary chromaffin cells were stimulated with the secretogogues Ba2+ or carbamyl choline plus Ca2+. With video-enhanced contrast, differential interference contrast microscopy, small vesicles were found to appear on the cell surface during stimulation. The structures were of lower refractive index than the cytoplasm, and their appearance required several tenths of a second. The vesicles are thought to correspond to omega figures seen with electron microscopy due to exocytosis. Many of the structures disappeared within a few seconds, but some appeared to coalesce into larger structures. The large structures may lead to the vacuoles that have been demonstrated to be present following stimulation. The nature of the cellular elements responsible for the vesicle which appeared on the surface was not found with either differential interference or interference reflection microscopy. The simplest explanation is that the refractive index of the elements is similar to that of the cell, and therefore the elements cannot be seen.

    Notes: Human IgM and a bovine, IgM-enriched serum fraction isolated from normal adult serum at concentrations of 0.25-1 mg/ml protein induced a pronounced increase in the metachronal wavelength of the lateral (L) cilia of the sea mussel Mytilus edulis without altering their beat frequency. This change in activity was indistinguishable from that induced by 50% adult human or bovine serum. At protein concentrations ranging from 1-9 mg/ml, human IgG or a bovine, IgG-enriched serum fraction had no or little effect on the activity of the L cilia. Similarly, neither monomeric (8S) human IgM (0.25 mg/ml) nor monospecific pentameric IgM (1 mg/ml) isolated from Waldenström's macroglobulinemia patients altered the metachrony of the L cilia. Indirect immunofluorescence demonstrated that both bovine and human IgM became attached almost exclusively to the L cilia, while very little bovine or human IgG was found to associate with these cilia.The results of this study suggest that serum IgM specifically binds to the L cilia of Mytilus in an antigen-antibody manner and agglutinates adjacent cilia into blocks or bundles, thereby increasing the coupling between cilia. As a result, the wavelength of the metachronal coordination is increased. The origin of these ciliary antibodies and their significance to ciliary bioassays used to monitor serum for the detection of cystic fibrosis are discussed.

    Trifluoperazine-induced changes in swimming behavior of paramecium: Evidence for two sites of drug action (1984)

    Notes: Trifluoperazine (TFP), a drug that binds to Ca2+-calmodulin (CaM) complexes, altered swimming behavior not only in living paramecia, but also in reactivated, Triton-extracted “models” of the ciliate. By comparing the responses of living cells and models, we have ascertained that two sites of drug action exist in paramecium cilia. Swimming movements were recorded in darkfield stroboscopic flash photomicrographs; this permitted accurate quantitation of velocities and body-shape parameters. When living paramecia were incubated in a standard buffer containing 10 μM TFP, their speed of forward swimming fell over several minutes and their bodies shortened. Untreated paramecia backed up repeatedly and frequently upon transfer to a solution containing barium ions (the “barium dance”), but cells preincubated in TFP did not “dance.” Instead they swam forward slowly for long periods of time without reversing and occasionally then exhibited abnormally prolonged reversals. W7 effects on swimming mimicked low doses of TFP, and the analog W5 did not visibly alter normal swimming patterns. These results suggest that TFP induces a decrease in the intracellular pCa of living paramecia, perhaps by reducing the efficiency of a calmodulin-activated calcium pump in the cell membrane. Paramecia extracted with Triton X-100 and reactivated to swim forward (7 ≥ pCa ≥ 6) were not affected by addition of up to 40 μM TFP to the reactivation medium. We conclude that the main drug effect in living cells is probably not at the axoneme. However, at low pCa, TFP directly affected the ciliary axoneme to shift its behavior to one characteristic of a higher pCa: TFP inhibited backward swimming in models reactivated at pCa 〈 6; instead they swam forward or rocked in place. The mechanism of ciliary reversal in paramecium may therefore depend on an axonemal Ca+-sensor, possibly bound CaM, which is affected by TFP only at low pCa, as has been postulated for other types of cilia.

    Cytoplasmic tubulin from the unfertilized sea urchin egg: II. Variation of the intrinsic calcium sensitivity of strongylocentrotus purpuratus egg tubulin as a function of temperature and brain microtubule-associated proteins (1984)

    Notes: Cytoplasmic tubulin purified from unfertilized sea urchin eggs self-assembles in the absence of microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) [Suprenant and Rebhun, 1983; Detrich and Wilson, 1983] with a critical concentration for polymerization of 0.8 mg/ml at 15-18°C, a value well below the 3 mg/ml tubulin present in these eggs [Pfeffer et al, 1976]. Studies of the calcium sensitivity of unfertilized S. purpuratus (sea urchin) egg tubulin were initiated to help understand how this tubulin is maintained unassembled in the unfertilized egg. Egg microtubules, assembled at physiological temperatures (15-18°C) were depolymerized by a 100-fold lower free calcium concentration than egg microtubules assembled at the higher temperatures (25-37°C) generally used to assemble mammalian brain microtubules. The initial rate of egg microtubule assembly was much more sensitive to calcium than was microtubule depolymerization at steady state at 37°C. However, both processes were sensitive to near physiological free calcium of free calcium for depolymerization than microtubules assembled at 18°C from egg tubulin alone. While calcium regulatory MAPs have not yet been found in sea urchin eggs, the fact that brain MAPs interact with egg tubulin and regulate both its critical concentration for polymerization [Suprenant and Rebhun, 1983] and its calcium sensitivty, suggests that such regulatory molecules exist. These results suggest that sea urchin egg tubulin assembly in vivo could be controlled by variations in interacellular calcium levels acting in concert with urchin egg proteins similar in function to brain MAPs.

    Notes: Molecular imprinting is a technique for the fabrication of biomimetic polymeric recognition sites or “plastic antibodies/receptors” which is attracting rapidly increasing interest. By this technology, recognition matrices can be prepared which possess high substrate selectivity and specificity. In the development of this technology, several applications have been foreseen in which imprinted materials may be exchanged for natural recognition elements. Thus, molecularly imprinted polymers have been used as antibody/receptor binding mimics in immunoassay-type analyses, as enzyme mimics in catalytic applications and as recognition matrices in biosensors. The best developed application area for imprinted materials, though, has been as stationary phases for chromatography, in general, and chiral chromatography, in particular. This review seeks to highlight some of the more intriguing advantages of the technique as well as pointing out some of the difficulties encountered. The prospects for future development will also be considered. Chirality 10:195-209, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: The preparative separation of the enantiomers of the title compound, a versatile chiral building block for the synthesis of unnatural amino acid esters, by high performance liquid chromatography on a chiral stationary phase (CSP), is reported for the first time. The CSP consists of amylose-(3,5-dimethylphenyl-carbamate), which has been coated onto the surface of macroporous aminopropyl-functionalized silica gel. The effect of mobile phase composition and the amount of amylose derivative on the silica gel has been thoroughly investigated. Using 2-propanol as organic modifier in hexane as mobile phase, on a semi-preparative column (200 mm × 40 mm ID, containing 192 g of stationary phase) about 200 mg of the racemate was separated per injection. Running the equipment under automatic conditions with repetitive injection mode allowed for the separation of 30 g per day. Both enantiomers were obtained with enantiopurities 〉99.75:0.25.

PNU-103017 is a racemic mixture of two enantiomers, designated PNU-103264 (R-) and PNU-103265 (S-). Stereoselective pharmacokinetics of the two enantiomers of PNU-103017 were observed in the dog, rat, and human after single and multiple dose administration of the racemate and were apparently species-dependent. Mean enantiomeric ratios of plasma concentrations (R-/S-) at each time point were greater than 1 in the dog, ranging from 1.22 to 3.06, but less than 1 in the rat and in the human, ranging from 0.44 to 0.80 and 0.23 to 0.73, respectively. A trend towards increased or decreased (farther from 1:1, R-/S-) enantiomeric ratio of plasma concentrations with time after each administration was also observed. The enantiomeric ratio remained unchanged after multiple dose administration in the rat, dog, and human although enzyme induction and increased plasma clearance were observed for both enantiomers.

    Notes: A study of chirally selective interaction in the stirred crystallization of glutamic acid and lysine is presented. The crystallization of S-glutamic acid is influenced by the presence of S-lysine but not R-lysine. Crystal nuclei in stirred systems are produced due to secondary nucleation. Secondary nucleation is an autocatalytic process in which a crystal produces secondary nuclei due to fluid motion, and due to crystal stirrer and crystal-crystal collisions. As a result of this autocatalysis, small fluctuations in the nucleation rates are amplified and the kinetics show a marked stochastic behavior. We investigate the stochastic behavior in detail and propose a kinetic mechanism that explains both the increase and the statistical distribution of the crystallization times of S-glutamic acid due to the presence of S-Lysine.

    Notes: The aim of this investigation was to elucidate the distribution and reactions of the enantiomers of thalidomide at their main site of biotransformation in vivo, i.e., in human blood. Plasma protein binding, erythrocyte: plasma distribution, and the kinetics of chiral inversion and degradation in buffer, plasma, and solutions of human serum albumin (HSA) were studied by means of a stereospecific HPLC assay. The enantiomers of thalidomide were not extensively bound to blood or plasma components. The geometric mean plasma protein binding was 55% and 66%, respectively, for (+)-(R)- and (-)-(S)-thalidomide. The corresponding geometric mean blood:plasma concentration ratios were 0.86 and 0.95 (at a haematocrit of 0.37) and erythrocyte:plasma distributions were 0.58 and 0.87. The rates of inversion and hydrolysis of the enantiomers increased with pH over the range 7.0-7.5. HSA, and to a lesser extent human plasma, catalysed the chiral inversion, but not the degradation, of (+)-(R)- and (-)-(S)-thalidomide. The addition of capric acid or preincubation of HSA with acetylsalicylic acid or physostigmine impaired the catalysis to varying extents. Correction for distribution in blood enhances previously observed differences between the pharmacokinetics of the enantiomers in vivo. The findings also support the notion that chiral inversion in vivo takes place mainly in the circulation and in albumin-rich extravascular spaces while hydrolysis occurs more uniformly in the body. In addition, the chiral inversion and hydrolysis of thalidomide apparently occur by several different mechanisms. Chirality 10:223-228, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Mechanistic aspects of the biogenesis of the chiral monoterpenoid rose oxide in Pelargonium graveolens L'Héritier are investigated using deuterium-labelled precursors. After administration of the precursors using the cut-stem method, the dynamic headspace extracts of the plants are analysed using multidimensional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (enantio-MDGC-MS). It is unequivocally shown that this plant is able to convert citronellol and menthocitronellol into cis-/trans-rose oxide. Menthocitronellol is converted into rose oxide with a clearly detectable enantiodiscrimination. These facts may be explained with the presence of an oxidase, which is able to oxidize citronellol and menthocitronellol in allylic position. A photooxygenation mechanism including singlet oxygen as the oxidizing agent is rather unlikely. Chirality 10:229-237, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Asymmetric sulfoxidation by means of a chloroperoxidase from Caldariomyces fumago and hydrogen peroxide as the oxygen source was studied for a series of sterically well-defined substrates. The stereochemistry of the sulfoxidation was the same for all substrates studied. While 2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]thiophene (1) is an excellent substrate (giving 99.5% yield and 99% e.e. of the (R)-sulfoxide), replacement of a methylene group by either a more sterically demanding group or a heteroatom caused a substantial decrease in reactivity or in reactivity as well as enantioselectivity. A further investigation of the lowered catalytic efficiency of chloroperoxidase with these substrates has been carried out in a series of competitive reactions. Thus, benzo[1,3]oxathiole (5) acted as a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme, whereas 1-thiochroman (2) and 1-thiochroman-4-one (3) were shown to be too sterically demanding to significantly compete for the active site. For the oxidation of 2, 3, and 5, it was found that in the low CPO concentration range the chemical yield after 60 min reaction time increased almost linearly with the amount of CPO used. The products from 2 and 3 could be obtained in over 80% yield with an e.e. exceeding 96%. Chloroperoxidase was also found to be an effective catalyst in the oxidation of labile episulfides, yielding the corresponding anti-sulfoxides quantitatively and giving 12% e.e. of (1R, 2R)-sulfoxide in the oxidation of propylene sulfide.

    Notes: Rotational strengths calculated on the basis of quantum-mechanically obtained minimum energy geometries were used to determine the absolute configurations of axially chiral 3-aryl-4(3H)-quinazolinones from the sign of the observed Cotton effects (CEs). For the spectral data, CNDO/S calculations were used; for the geometries, ab initio (RHF/6-31G) and semiempirical (AM1) theories were used. Oscillator and rotational strengths of all excited states down to 200 nm were compared to experimental absorption and circular dichroism (CD) data. It was found that the sign of the 1Lb Cotton effects obtained for the enantiomers of methaqualone and derivatives of 3-aryl-2-alkylthio-4(3H)-quinazolinones can be correlated unambiguously with the absolute configuration. Furthermore, the sign of the Cotton effect of the π-π* transition of the thiocarbonyl chromophore of 3-aryl-2-mercapto-4(3H)-quinazolinones is suitable for a successful stereochemical correlation.

    Notes: Airways of asthma patients can become hyperresponsive to airway spasmogens following regular use of isoprenaline or β2-selective sympathomimetics. Hyperreactivity that results from acute exposure of animals to these drugs is pre-empted by vagal section (a procedure which does not influence spasmolytic efficacy of sympathomimetics), is not diminished by antagonism of β2-adrenoceptors and is not associated with loss of responsivity of β2-adrenoceptors in the airways. Since activation, modulation, or blockade of β2-adrenoceptors does not determine this form of hyperreactivity, the possibility that distomers may induce hyperreactivity must be considered. Ocular and vascular responses to distomers of sympathomimetics have long been recognised and, more recently, comparable observations have been made for the airways. Thus, reactivity of guinea-pig airways to spasmogens was increased following exposure to S-isoprenaline, S-salbutamol, or S-terbutaline and exposure to S-isoprenaline or S-salbutamol can intensify symptoms in asthmatics. Regular exposure to the racemate, especially during or following an allergic reaction, predisposes to expression of hyperreactivity, which is nullified, acutely, by the eutomer. These observations imply that biological effects of sympathomimetic distomers may contribute to morbidity and mortality in asthma patients. Chirality 10:262-272, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Attempts have been made to qualitatively explain the influence of various mobile phase compositions on the enantioselective retention. The effects of mobile phase pH, buffer, and organic modifier concentrations were investigated as well as the influence of salts of hydrophobic ions added to the mobile phase to induce ion pair retention.

    Notes: If a molecule is identified not only by its static spatial constructions, but also by the motions at the sub-molecular level, application of time reversal symmetry operation to a certain molecule could lead to another distinguishable from the original in the sense of sub-molecular motions, a phenomenon now defined as time reversal isomerism. Assessment of the consideration of certain enantiomers as distinguishable time reversal isomers is suggested in order to evoke a comprehensive interpretation of a likely correlation between the two types of isomerisms. The conceptual basis of a connection between absolute asymmetric synthesis under the influence of external fields and the intrinsic time reversal symmetry violation at the molecular level is also established to encourage new experimental investigations on this theme.

    Notes: Various cellulose-2,3-bis-arylcarbamate-6-O-arylesters and cellulose-2,3-bis-arylester-6-O-arylcarbamates, designed to test the possible combined effects of the known tris-arylcarbamate and tris-arylester classes, were synthesized with high regioselectivity at O-C(6), and their use as CSPs in liquid chromatography for enantiomeric separations was investigated. The separations obtained with the synthesized CSPs were compared to the separations achieved on a self-packed reference column, consisting of cellulose-tris-(3,5-dimethylphenyl-carbamate) as CSP standard. Among the synthesized, regioselectively substituted cellulose derivatives, 2,3-bis-O-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate)-6-O-benzoate-cellulose and 2,3-bis-O-(benzoate)-6-O-(3,5-dichlorophenylcarbamate)-cellulose gave the best CSPs for the separation of the test racemates. CSPs from regioselectively substituted cellulose derivatives seem to exhibit higher selectivities than cellulose-tris-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) for certain classes of racemic compounds.

    Notes: The configurational stability of (+)- and (-)-diethylpropion [(+)- and (-)-2-(diethyl)-1-phenyl-1-propanone or (+)- and (-)-DEP] was investigated systematically from chemical, pharmaceutical, and pharmacological aspects. The enantiomeric ratio was monitored directly with a recently developed stability-indicating enantioselective HPLC method.In aqueous solutions, the rate of racemization increased non-linearly with increasing pH and with increasing phosphate buffer concentration. The racemization rate showed a positive slope with increasing temperature and decreasing ionic strength.The racemization rates of (+)- and (-)-DEP in the presence of cyclodextrins (CDs) did not differ significantly. CDs that were added to (+)- and (-)-DEP in a molar ratio 5:1 showed the following effects after dissolution in 10 mM phosphate buffer (final pH 6.7): sulfobutyl ether-β-CD (SBE-β-CD) and methylated-β-CD (Me-β-CD) retarded racemization; whereas hydroxypropyl-β-CD (HP-β-CD), acetyl-γ-CD (Ac-γ-CD), acetyl-β-CD (Ac-β-CD), γ-CD, and β-CD showed a weak destabilising effect. In contrast to the described CDs, α-CD distinctly accelerated the rate of racemization.The configurational stability of (+)- and (-)-DEP was also studied under physiological conditions. The half-life of racemization in heparinised human plasma was for both enantiomers determined to be approximately 23-25 min.In phosphate buffer (10 mM, pH 7.4), rac-DEP showed a high, but unselective affinity towards human α1-acid glycoprotein (orosomucoid) immobilised on silica (Chiral AGP).The rate of racemization of the free base of (-)-DEP dissolved in organic solutions generally increases with the polarity of the solvating agent.

    Notes: (+)-(1S;2S)-Pseudoephedrine and racemic mandelic acid form three distinct diastereomeric salts from solutions in 95% ethanol. The least-soluble phase, a hemihydrate, contains the (2R)-mandelate. A salt phase of intermediate solubility is the unsolvated double salt, containing both the (2R)- and the (2S)-mandelate. The most-soluble salt phase contains the (2S)-mandelate. Mandelate configuration and order of solubility (based on the heats of fusion) is inverted from that found in the same system synthesized from chiral base and acid, and then crystallized from benzene solution. The (2R)-mandelate hemihydrate (-H2O at 349.5K, mp 391K), monoclinic, P21, a = 6.788(5), b = 29.415(35), c = 9.488(10)Å, β = 108.91(8)°, Z = 4 (2 ion-pairs/asymmetric unit). Intermediate double salt (2S)- and (2R)-mandelate, mp 377.6K, anorthic, P1, a = 7.758(4), b = 9.966(5), c = 13.366(6)Å, α = 72.99(4), β = 79.98(4), γ = 70.51(4)°, Z = 1 (2 ion-pairs/asymmetric unit). The (2S)-mandelate (mp 386.2K), orthorhombic, P212121, a = 7.079(6), b = 13.443(10), c = 18.820(14)Å, Z = 4 is identical to a salt made from a combination of enantiomeric moieties from benzene solution. While differing from ephedrine mandelates in configuration at one center, solubilities of pseudoephedrine mandelates in 95% ethanol are much larger. A comparison of molecular structure (non-polar and H-bonding) regions of pseudoephedrine and ephedrine mandelates shows similarities and differences that are tentatively linked to crystal properties. This study reemphasizes the necessity for consistency in solvent use in resolution and in phase identification and comparison because the phases produced are frequently dependent upon the solvent.

    Notes: Subcritical fluid chromatography (SubFC) using a carbon dioxide-methanol mobile phase is used for the chiral resolution of IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist enantiomers. The chiral resolution of three analogs, each containing two chiral centers, is optimized using various mobile phase additives. The effects that acidic, basic, and neutral additives have on retention, efficiency, and resolution are examined. The additive that gives the best resolution was found to be dependent upon the functionality and charge of the chiral analyte. For charged analytes, additives that act as competing ions of the same charge as the chiral analyte dramatically improve efficiency and resolution. Resolution of neutral chiral analyte enantiomers is also greatly affected by the choice of mobile phase additive. Chirality 10:338-342, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Chiral asymmetry generation, the predominant production of one enantiomer in a non-chiral environment, could occur in the production of the chiral complex cis-[CoBr(NH3)(en)2]Br2 by the reaction of [Co(H2O)2{(OH)2Co(en)2}2](SO4)2 with ammonium bromide in an aqueous medium. The main kinetic steps in the reaction system have been determined. During the reaction, the product crystallizes at an early stage. When a very small amount of crystalline enantiomer was added to the reaction system at an early stage, the same enantiomer was produced preferentially; in addition, the enantiomeric excess of the product increased with increasing the stirring rate. Thus, it seems that each enantiomer generates chiral crystals that could self-replicate through secondary nucleation when the solution is stirred; these crystals in turn enhance the production of the same enantiomer. With a computer code that simulates such a kinetic mechanism, it is shown that enantiomeric excess observed in the experiments could be reproduced. Chirality 10:343-348, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Stereoselectivity in the renal secretion of carbenicillin (CBPC) was studied in rabbits. Significant renal secretion of CBPC was observed in vivo, with the secretion of the S-epimer being greater than that of the R-epimer. Stereoselective transport of CBPC was further studied in vitro using basolateral and brush border membrane vesicles prepared from rabbit kidneys. The transport of CBPC by the organic anion transporter into the basolateral membrane vesicles (BLMV) was not stereoselective. In contrast, a distinct stereoselectivity was observed in the transport of CBPC by the organic anion transporter into the brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV), with the transport of the S-epimer being more favorable. Significant epimer-epimer interactions were also observed in the transport into BBMV. The stereoselectivity of the transport of CBPC was calculated from the kinetic parameters with consideration of epimer-epimer interactions and was similar to that observed in vivo. It was concluded that the observed stereoselectivity in the renal secretion of CBPC in vivo reflected that of transport via the organic anion transporter located at the brush border membrane.

    Notes: A HPLC method is described for the chiral analysis of the commercially available Jacobsen's catalyst. A hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin stationary phase was used in conjunction with a nonaqueous, polar-organic mobile phase. The method can be applied to control the enantiomeric purity of the catalyst, which is of great importance for quality control of that product. High accuracy in the determination of trace levels of the unwanted enantiomer in the presence of large amounts of the desired enantiomer is demonstrated.

    Notes: Several cyclic imidic compounds (barbiturates, piperidine-2,6-diones, and mephenytoin) are enantiomerically resolved via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on a macrocyclic antibiotic covalently bonded to a silica gel support. The Chirobiotic V chiral stationary phase (CSP) column contains the antibiotic vancomycin as the chiral selector. The results of the analysis show that the substituents at the chiral carbon position of the racemic drugs affect chiral resolution. In addition, ring size may also play a role when considering the formation of analyte-CSP inclusion complexes. Contrary to the piperidine-2,6-diones, the chromatographic parameters for the barbiturates are much the same under normal- or reversed-phase conditions. The details of these results are discussed.

    Separation of nicotine and nornicotine enantiomers via normal phase HPLC on derivatized cellulose chiral stationary phases (1998)

    Notes: This paper describes the enantiorecognition of (±)nicotine and (±)nornicotine by high-performance liquid chromatography using two derivatized cellulose chiral stationary phases (CSPs) operated in the normal phase mode. It was found that different substituents linked to the cellulose backbone significantly influence the chiral selectivity of the derivatized CSP. The results showed that, in general, the tris(4-methylbenzoyl) cellulose CSP (Chiralcel OJ) surpasses tris(3,5-dimethylphenyl carbamoyl) cellulose CSP (Chiralcel OD). On the former column, the resolution (±)nicotine and (±)nornicotine enantiomers depended largely on mobile phase compositions. For the separation of the nicotine enantiomers, the addition of trifluoroacetic acid to a 95:5 hexane/alcohol mobile phase greatly improved the enantioresolution, probably due to enhanced hydrogen bonding interactions between the protonated analytes and the CSP. For (±)nornicotine separation, a reduction in the concentration of alcohol in the mobile phase was more effective than the addition of trifluoroacetic acid. Possible solute-mobile phase-stationary phase interactions are discussed to explain how different additives in the mobile phase and different substituents on the cellulose glucose units of the CSPs affect the separation of both pairs of enantiomers.

    Notes: The retention mechanisms and the separation of enantiomers on the classes of chiral stationary phases which are made by bonding isolated groups on the surface of an adsorbent are discussed. It is shown that retention on these phases originates from mixed mechanisms and how the individual contributions of these two mechanisms can be separated, by determining and modeling the equilibrium isotherms. A contribution originating from interactions of the isomers with the nonselective sites (type-I) and another one due to interactions with the enantioselective sites (type-II) can be determined and their importance studied as a function of several parameters, e.g., temperature or pH. This approach is illustrated with results obtained with different pairs of enantiomers on bovine serum albumin, 4-methylcellulose tribenzoate, or cellobiohydrolase immobilized on silica.

    Notes: The manner of hydrogen-bonding to peptide selectors in enantiomer separation is examined with the help of a structural model. This model relies on a C3-symmetric trispeptide selector, which is stabilized by a network of distinct intramolecular hydrogen bonds. A combination of experimental and theoretical tools enables us to identify the lowest-energy conformation of the trispeptide selector and the sites of selector-substrate interactions. Experimental tools include temperature dependent 1H-NMR studies, 1D-NOE-measurements, and titration experiments, with the theoretical tools being EFF and CFF91 molecular mechanics calculations. The structural information deduced from these investigations is shown to bear on the enantioseparation of the corresponding chiral stationary phase towards derivatized amino acids. These observations, taken together, help to rationalize the mode of enantiomer-separation by amide phases as involving predominantly C7-hydrogen bonding sites.

    Notes: Nucleic acids are characterized by a predominant right-handed helical configuration that derives from the chirality of the sugar moiety. Hitherto, only “local” effects of this helical asymmetry, exemplified by DNA interactions with small compounds, have been documented. The results described in this study indicate that an enhanced asymmetry is required for the manifestation of chiral effects in DNA self-assembly processes or for chiral discrimination upon interactions with peptides. Two cases in which the intrinsic DNA asymmetry is enhanced are reported: rod-like superhelical species derived from linear DNA molecules, and topologically constrained supercoiled DNA. In the first case, the superhelical grooves within the DNA rods allow for a stereospecific complexation with peptides, resulting in chiral discrimination. In the second case, it is shown that the properties of cholesteric assemblies derived from supercoiled DNA are strictly determined by the enhanced asymmetry associated with molecular supercoiling. The results allow for new reflections on the concept of molecular complementarity, and indicate that spontaneously obtained chiral DNA mesophases might have played a key role in determining terrestrial homochirality.

    Aspects of spontaneous separation of enantiomers in two- and three-dimensional crystals (1998)

    Notes: Spontaneous separation of enantiomers in two- and three-dimensional crystals is driven by the same thermodynamic and kinetic factors. However, amphiphilic crystalline monolayers at an interface cannot possess a center of inversion, the most common symmetry element in bulk crystals. This fact should, in principle, lead to better chances for spontaneous separation in the Langmuir or Langmuir-Blodgett monomolecular films. On the other hand, the monolayers of most amphiphiles studied to date incorporate long aliphatic chains that have an intrinsic tendency to pack in a herring-bone motif requiring glide plane symmetry, thus creating a bias towards racemate formation. Moreover, 2-D crystals supposedly have a much higher degree of molecular and therefore enantiomeric disorder compared to bulk crystals. All these factors necessitate a careful choice of molecules to guarantee enantiomeric separation in two dimensions. Unambiguous detection of spontaneous resolution in 2-D appears to require atomic resolution of molecular packing arrangement, which can in principle be obtained by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction or atomic force microscopy, whereas in bulk solids spontaneous resolution can be easily detected by various macroscopic methods. This short review provides analogies between spontaneous separation in 3-D and recent examples in 2-D, showing that spontaneous separation generally depends upon subtle differences in molecular structure.

    Notes: The rotational barriers ΔG† (T) of the four atropisomeric polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) 2,2′,3,5′,6-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB 95), 2,2′3,3′,4,6′-hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB 132), 2,2′,3,3′,6,6′-hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB 136), and 2,2′,3,4′,5′,6-hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB 149) were determined via on-line enantiomerization kinetics by a new stopped-flow multidimensional gas chromatographic technique (stopped-flow MDGC) employing Chirasil-Dex as chiral stationary phase for enantiomer separation. The calculated rotational barriers ΔG† (T) of the trichloro-ortho-substituted atropisomers are 184 ± 2 kJ/mol for PCB 95, 189 ± 4 kJ/mol for PCB 132, and 184 ± 1 kJ/mol for PCB 149 at 300°C. The rotational barrier ΔG† (T) of tetrachloro-ortho-substituted PCB 136 is at least (or higher than) 210 kJ/mol at 320°C. Chirality 10:425-429, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: The macrocyclic glycopeptide, ristocetin A, was covalently bonded to a silica gel support and evaluated as a liquid chromatographic (LC) chiral stationary phase (CSP). Over 230 racemates were resolved in either the reversed-phase mode, the normal-phase mode, or the polar-organic mode. The retention behavior and selectivity of this CSP were examined in each mode. Optimization of separations on this column is discussed. The ristocetin A CSP appeared to be complimentary to other glycopeptide CSPs (i.e., vancomycin and teicoplanin). Column stability was excellent. The CSP was not irreversibly altered when going from one mobile phase mode to another. Chirality 10:434-483, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: A sensitive enantioselective high-performance chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed and validated to determine low levels of (-)-R and (+)-S-albuterol in plasma. Baseline resolution was achieved by using a teicoplanin-based chiral stationary phase with a polar organic mobile phase consisting of methanol/acetonitrile/glacial acetic acid/diethylamine, 40:60:0.3:0.2, (v/v/v/v) and a flow-rate of 1.0 ml/min. Enantioselectivity (α) equaled 1.18 and resolution (Rs) equaled 1.8. By using fluorescence detection maximized at 230 and 310 nm for excitation and emission, respectively, concentrations of each enantiomer could be measured down to 125 pg/ml from a 1-ml plasma sample. Initially, the method was applied to plasma samples from a small single-dose inhalation study of racemic albuterol in a human volunteer and, later, to in vivo samples from a canine inhalation study of the single enantiomer, (-)-R-albuterol. Results from the canine study showed that no chiral inversion of (-)-R-albuterol occurs in the dog. Chirality 10:484-491, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: The advantages that can be gained from derivatization of various racemic aliphatic and aromatic alcohols prior to enantiomeric chromatographic separation have been systematically investigated for a series of benzoate derivatives. Three cellulose-based CSPs available in the pure polymeric form - tribenzoyl cellulose (TBC), meta-methylbenzoyl cellulose (MMBC), and para-methylbenzoyl cellulose (PMBC) - were selected and several benzoate derivatives varying in the nature and the position of the substituent on the benzoyl group were prepared and analysed. TBC clearly gives the broadest application range, and among the different benzoate esters the best selectivity was generally obtained with either the 4-methoxybenzoate or the 4-methylbenzoate derivatives. Based on these results, some empirical rules could be formulated for optimizing the enantiomeric separation of racemic alcohols, which make up one of the most important classes of chemical substances used as drugs and biocides, or as building blocks for their synthesis. An application of this approach to the preparative separation of the enantiomers of a drug intermediate is also shown. Chirality 10:492-498, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Capillary gas chromatography employing the unique selectivities of specifically substituted cyclodextrins is highly suited for stereochemical investigations of terpenoid compounds. The analysis of many essential oils have shown that monoterpene derivatives regularly occur as enantiomeric mixtures. In the case of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, liverworts (Hepaticae) and other lower organisms usually biosynthesize compounds of opposite stereochemistry as compared to higher plants and enantiomeric mixtures occur only occasionally. The investigation of diterpene hydrocarbons has so far shown no indication of the presence of both enantiomers in the same plant. Chirality 10:499-504, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: A study of the applicability of circular dichroism (CD) for the determination of drug levels in human serum is described and a new method for the quantitative determination of optically active absorbing drugs having Cotton effects at wavelengths above 250 nm in human serum and/or plasma is proposed. The principal advantages of this method are speed, economy, and simplicity, no derivatization or chromatographic separation steps being needed. The validity of the CD determination was confirmed by analysis of variance, β-lactam antibiotics being chosen as model drugs. In addition, the validation studies performed confirm the accuracy and precision of the proposed method. For β-lactam antibiotics lacking Cotton effects above 250 nm, an alternative method based on the extraction of the drug from serum is considered. Chirality 10:507-512, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: The chromatographic parameters for 12 structurally related compounds in the 4a-methyl-2,3,4,4a-tetrahydro-1H-fluorene and 4a-methyl-1,2,3,4,4a,9a-hexahydro-fluoren-9-one series are reported on CTA-I and Chiralcel OJ chiral stationary phases. Arrangement of the k' values according to configurationally related enantiomer series (Class I and Class II) and not according to the actual order of elution, allows the treatment of the data by linear correlation with structure and substituent effect. A detailed analysis of the capacity factor variation with respect to the structural changes shows clearly that the framework and substitution effects do not result in the same response on the two cellulose ester chiral stationary phases. More interestingly, it emerges that chiral discimination may be attributed to certain areas of the molecule, these areas being different in the interaction within CTA-I and Chiralcel OJ. Furthermore, our analysis points out the relevance of attempting to develop quantitative relationships for configurationally related series of enantiomers (in our case Class I and Class II), the main effort being devoted to the understanding of the capacity factor variation in each class rather than of the α values, which are derived entities.

    Notes: The enantiomers of Propranolol, Pindolol, and Carazolol, well-known β-blockers, have been used to prepare cationic aminophosphine phosphinite rhodium complexes. Propraphos-Rh and Pindophos-Rh are very efficient catalysts in the asymmetric hydrogenation of N-Boc-protected unusual dehydroamino acid derivatives. Carazolol-Rh is less suitable in both activity and enantioselectivity. Under the same conditions, N-Boc-protected dehydrodipeptides are hydrogenated with diastereoselectivities between 70 and 90% de.

    Notes: The fungus Cordyceps militaris has been previously shown to be capable of inverting the chirality of 2-phenylpropionic acid from its (R)-enantiomer to its (S)-antipode. The structure of this compound is similar to the 2-arylpropionic acid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which have also been reported to undergo a similar chiral inversion process in mammals and man. We report here an investigation into the substrate specificity of the enzyme system present in C. militaris using pure enantiomers and racemates of ibuprofen and ketoprofen and racemates of indoprofen, suprofen, flurbiprofen, and fenoprofen and the structurally related compounds 2-phenylbutyric acid and 2-phenoxypropionic acid as substrates, using optimised incubation conditions developed for the inversion of 2-phenylpropionic acid. The results demonstrated that C. militaris is capable of inverting the chirality of all the compounds investigated, which suggests that the active sites of the enzymes are very flexible with regard to the molecular dimensions of the substrate molecule and the spatial occupation of the groups surrounding the chiral centre. Metabolism of all the substrates was observed but the rate of metabolism varied extensively depending on the substrate. Achiral HPLC analysis was used to detect any potential metabolites and the results suggested that the site of the metabolism appeared to be at the aliphatic side groups only, with the aromatic ring being left intact in all cases. These results suggest that C. militaris could be a valuable tool in the investigation of the prospective metabolic fates of new 2-arylpropionic acids during their development.

    Notes: Gas chromatographic study on chiral separation of PCBs was performed in a series of capillary columns coated with 0.1-μm film of modified cyclodextrin (CD) stationary phases. The preparation of columns included the investigation into the effect of the content of cyclodextrin derivative in polysiloxane, the type of polysiloxane and temperature of analysis on the quality of separation and retention of atropisomers of 15 selected PCB congeners. The separation properties towards PCBs of stationary phase heptakis(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-O-tert-butyl-dimethylsilyl)-β-CD dissolved in SE-30, SE-54, and OV-1701, were compared with those of 6-monokis-octamethylene-permethyl-β-CD anchored to polydimethylsiloxane polymer (ChirasilDex column, Chrompack, Middelburg, The Netherlands) and octakis(2,6-di-O-methyl-3-O-pentyl)-γ-CD in OV-1701 (MEGA, Legnano (MI), Italy). The correctness of quantitative enantiomer ratio determination was assesed by splitless analysis of PCBs reference solutions in concentration of 1.25-125 ng/ml (PCBs 45 and 91) and 2.5-250 ng/ml (PCB 95) (the PCB congeners are numbered according to IUPAC).

    Notes: Following an extended chiral drug screening program by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE), the enantioseparation of 86 racemic drugs was tested with γ-cyclodextrin as a chiral solvating agent. Unified conditions were applied to all experiments. In total, 18 drug racemates were separated, 13 entries thereof that had not been separated at the lower CSA concentration applied in an earlier stage of the project. A comparison of the data with the results obtained for α- and β-cyclodextrin points to the significance of partial penetration (“side-on binding”) of aryl groups into the cyclodextrin cavity.

    Notes: Chloroquine (CQ) enantiomers were prepared by a novel synthesis starting from either (S)- or (R)-pyroglutamic acid. Light-absorption spectra of CQ and of complexes of ferriprotoporphyrin IX (FP) with CQ were measured in dilute aqueous solutions at pH 7.3 and 11.3. Spectrophotometric titrations at these pH values indicated a mole ratio of FP:CQ of 2:1 for the FP-CQ aggregated complexes. Aqueous solutions of each of the CQ enantiomers (pH 7.3) and of their complexes with FP (pH 11.3) were investigated by circular dichroism (CD). At pH 11.3, the complexes of the two enantiomers showed CD-band extrema of opposite sign at 409-410 nm. CD-titrations at pH 11.3 confirmed a predominant mole ratio of FP:CQ of 2:1 in the complex. The possible origin of the optical activity of the FP-CQ complexes is discussed. Chirality 10:556-563, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: The enantiomeric composition of nicotine in 18 smokeless tobaccos, 3 strains of tobacco leaf, 8 pharmaceutical products, and 4 commercial reagents was determined. The relative amount of the minor enantiomeric component, (R)-(+)-nicotine, ranged from ∼0.1% to ∼1.2% of the total nicotine in all samples. In some cases it appears that (R)-(+)-nicotine may be considered one of the five most common alkaloids in tobacco products. The highest level of (R)-(+)-nicotine was found in a commercial transdermal patch. The extraction and purification processes used in obtaining commercial (S)-(-)-nicotine supplies from tobacco do not appear to decrease the amount of (R)-(+)-nicotine present.

    Notes: Chiral compounds, N-methyl-, N-ethyl-, and N-n-propylcholamides, form crystalline inclusion compounds with water or small organic substances. The compounds were analyzed by X-ray diffraction methods. It was found that the crystals have bilayered structures accumulated by chiral molecular sheets. The chiral molecules associate in a unique head-to-head/tail-to-tail and right-to-left motif to give chiral and amphiphilic sheets. Such sheets stack by adhesions between the hydrophilic sides and between the lipophilic sides. The alkyl groups of the amides prompt the formation of a hydrogen-bonding network between the tails instead of a cyclic one between the head and tail. The guest molecules are accommodated into small cavities between the steroidal side chains. Chirality 10:600-618, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: A chiral stationary phase (CSP 1) prepared starting from (R)-4-hydroxyphenylglycine and then grafting (R)-N-butanoyl-4-allyloxyphenylglycine N-propyl amide to silica gel was found to be very effective in separating the enantiomers of N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-α-amino amides. From the chromatographic behaviors of the resolution of N-propyl amides, N,N-diethyl amides and ethyl esters of N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-α-amino acids and the resolution of various N-(substituted benzoyl)leucine N-propyl amides, the hydrogen bonding and the π-π donor-acceptor sites of the analyte for the interaction with the CSP have been proposed. Similarly, the hydrogen bonding donor and acceptor sites of the CSP for the interaction with the analyte have been proposed from the comparison of the chromatographic behaviors of the resolution of various N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-α-amino N-propyl amides on modified CSPs (CSP 7 containing trifluoroacetyl group instead of the butanoyl group of CSP 1 and CSP 8 containing N,N-diethyl group instead of the N-propyl group of CSP 1) with those on CSP 1. By correlating the interaction sites of the CSP and their complementary interaction sites of the analyte, a chiral recognition mechanism which utilizes the two hydrogen bonding interactions and the π-π donor-acceptor interaction between (R)-CSP 1 and more retained analytes, (S)-N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-α-amino amides, has been proposed.

    Notes: Novel 1-aryl-9H-fluoren-9-ols 1 were conveniently synthesized by using the ester-mediated nucleophilic aromatic substitution on 2,6-dimethoxybenzoate 2 by aryl Grignard reagents as the key step. Racemic 1-phenylfluorenol 1a was converted to the diastereomeric esters 8 of (S)-2′-methoxy-1,1′-binaphthyl-2-carboxylic acid, which were readily separable by silica-gel column chromatography. Reduction of the optically pure diastereomer (+)-8 with LiAlH4 accompanied an appreciable racemization to give (+)-1a of 89% ee, which provides the first isolation of an optically active fluorenol of defined enantiomeric purity. Intrinsic chiral induction abilities of the 9-fluorenols 1 were examined in the atrolactic acid synthesis from phenylglyoxylates 9 and methylmagnesium iodide with diastereoselectivity of up to 85% de and the binaphthyl coupling of 1-methoxy-2-naphthoates 11 with 2-methoxy-1-naphthylmagnesium bromide with up to 73% de.

    Notes: Avoparcin is a macrocyclic glycopeptide antibiotic structurally related to vancomycin, teicoplanin, and ristocetin A. When attached to 5-μm spherical silica gel, the avoparcin proved to be an effective chiral stationary phase (CSP) that could be used in the reversed-phase, normal-phase, and polar-organic modes. The avoparcin CSP was complimentary to the other macrocyclic glycopeptide CSPs in that it could resolve some racemates that the others could not, and vice versa. Some important compounds resolved on the avoparcin CSP include verapamil, thyroxine, mephenytoin, and 2-imidazolidone-4-carboxylic acid. The use of this CSP and the optimization of separations on it are discussed. Avoparcin appears to be a useful addition to this family of CSPs. Chirality 10:627-660, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
