    Root graviresponsiveness and columella cell structure in carotenoid-deficient seedlings of Zea mays (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: Root graviresponsiveness in normal and carotenoid-deficient mutant seedlings of Zea mays was not significantly different. Columella cells in roots of mutant seedlings were characterized by fewer, smaller, and a reduced relative volume of plastids as compared to columella cells of normal seedlings. Plastids in columella cells of mutant seedlings possessed reduced amounts of starch. Although approximately 10 per cent of the columella cells in mutant seedlings lacked starch, their plastids were located at the bottom of the cell. These results suggest that (i) carotenoids are not necessary for root gravitropism, (ii) graviresponsiveness is not necessarily proportional to the size, number, or relative volume of plastids in columella cells, and (iii) sedimentation of plastids in columella cells may not result directly from their increased density due to starch content. Plastids in columella cells of normal and mutant seedlings were associated with bands of microtubule-like structures, suggesting that these structures may be involved in 'positioning' plastids in the cell.

    Polyamine levels as related to growth, differentiation and senescence in protoplast-derived cultures of Vigna aconitifolia and Avena sativa (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: We have previously reported that aseptically cultured mesophyll protoplasts of Vigna divide rapidly and regenerate into complete plants, while mesophyll protoplasts of Avena divide only sporadically and senesce rapidly after isolation. We measured polyamine titers in such cultures of Vigna and Avena, to study possible correlations between polyamines and cellular behavior. We also deliberately altered polyamine titer by the use of selective inhibitors of polyamine biosynthesis, noting the effects on internal polyamine titer, cell division activity and regenerative events. In Vigna cultures, levels of free and bound putrescine and spermidine increased dramatically as cell division and differentiation progressed. The increase in bound polyamines was largest in embryoid-forming callus tissue while free polyamine titer was highest in root-forming callus. In Avena cultures, the levels of total polyamines decreased as the protoplast senesced. The presence of the inhibitors alpha-difluoromethyl-arginine (specific inhibitor of arginine decarboxylase), alpha-difluoromethylornithine (specific inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase) and dicyclohexylamine (inhibitor of spermidine synthase) reduced cell division and organogenesis in Vigna cultures. Addition of low concentration of polyamines to such cultures containing inhibitors or removal of inhibitors from the culture medium restored the progress of growth and differentiation with concomitant increase in polyamine levels.

    Geoperception in primary and lateral roots of Phaseolus vulgaris (Fabaceae). III. A model to explain the differential georesponsiveness of primary and lateral roots (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: Half-tipped primary and lateral roots of Phaseolus vulgaris bend toward the side of the root on which the intact half tip remains. Therefore, tips of lateral and primary roots produce growth effectors capable of inducing gravicurvature. The asymmetrical placement of a tip of a lateral root onto a detipped primary root results in the root bending toward the side of the root onto which the tip was placed. That is, the lesser graviresponsiveness of lateral roots as compared with primary roots is not due to the inability of their caps to produce growth inhibitors. The more pronounced graviresponsiveness of primary roots is positively correlated with the presence of columella tissues that are 3.8 times longer, 1.7 times wider, and 10.5 times more voluminous than the columellas of lateral roots. We propose that the lack of graviresponsiveness exhibited by lateral roots is due to the fact that they (i) produce smaller amounts of the inhibitor than primary (i.e., strongly graviresponsive) roots and (ii) are unable to redistribute the inhibitor so as to be able to create a concentration gradient sufficient to induce a pronounced gravitropic response.

    The effects of some polyamine biosynthetic inhibitors on growth and morphology of phytopathogenic fungi (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: We have studied the effects of two polyamine biosynthetic inhibitors, alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) and alpha-difluoromethylarginine (DFMA), and of polyamines (PAs), alone and in combination, on mycelial growth and morphology of four phytopathogenic fungi: Botrytis sp, B. cinerea, Rhizoctonia solani and Monilinia fructicola. The inhibitors were added to a Czapek agar medium to get final concentrations of 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 mM. DFMO and DFMA, suicide inhibitors of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and arginine decarboxylase (ADC) respectively, inhibited mycelial growth strongly; the effect was generally more pronounced with DFMA than with DFMO, but each fungus had its own response pattern. The addition of the PAs putrescine (Put) and spermidine (Spd) to the culture medium resulted in a promotion of growth. In Botrytis sp and Monilinia fructicola exposed to inhibitors plus PAs, mycelial growth was actually increased above control values. Mycelial morphology was altered and cell size dramatically reduced in plates containing inhibitors alone, whereas with PAs alone, or in combination with inhibitors, morphology was normal, but cell length and diameters increased considerably. These results suggest that PAs are essential for growth in fungal mycelia. The inhibition caused by DFMA may be due to its arginase-mediated conversion to DFMO.

    Tomato responses to ammonium and nitrate nutrition under controlled root-zone pH (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L. Mill. 'Vendor') plants were grown for 21 days in flowing solution culture with N supplied as either 1.0 mM NO3- or 1.0 mM NH4+. Acidity in the solutions was automatically maintained at pH 6.0. Accumulation and distribution of dry matter and total N and net photosynthetic rate were not affected by source of N. Thus, when rhizosphere acidity was controlled at pH 6.0 during uptake, either NO3- or NH4+ can be used efficiently by tomato. Uptake of K+ and Ca2+ were not altered by N source, but uptake of Mg2+ was reduced in NH4(+)-fed plants. This indicates that uptake of Mg2+ was regulated at least partially by ionic balance within the plant.

    Changes in the distribution of plastids and endoplasmic reticulum during cellular differentiation in root caps of Zea mays (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: In calyptrogen cells of Zea mays, proplastids are distributed randomly throughout the cell, and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is distributed parallel to the cell walls. The differentiation of calyptrogen cells into columella statocytes is characterized by the following sequential events: (1) formation of ER complexes at the distal and proximal ends of the cell, (2) differentiation of proplastids into amyloplasts, (3) sedimentation of amyloplasts onto the distal ER complex, (4) breakdown of the distal ER complex and sedimentation of amyloplasts to the bottom of the cell, and (5) formation of sheets of ER parallel to the longitudinal cell walls. Columella statocytes located in the centre of the cap each possess 4530 +/- 780 micrometers2 of ER surface area, an increase of 670 per cent over that of calyptrogen cells. The differentiation of peripheral cells correlates positively with (1) the ER becoming arranged in concentric sheets, (2) amyloplasts and ER becoming randomly distributed, and (3) a 280 per cent increase in ER surface area over that of columella statocytes. These results are discussed relative to graviperception and mucilage secretion, which are functions of columella and peripheral cells, respectively.

    Graviresponsiveness and abscisic-acid content of roots of carotenoid-deficient mutants of Zea mays L (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: The abscisic-acid (ABA) content of roots of the carotenoid-deficient w-3, vp-5, and vp-7 mutants of Z. mays was analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with an analysis sensitivity of 6 ng ABA g-1 fresh weight (FW). Roots of normal seedlings of the same lines were characterized by the following amounts of ABA (as ng ABA g-1 FW, +/- standard deviation): w-3, 279 +/- 43; vp-5, 237 +/- 26; vp-7, 338 +/- 61. We did not detect any ABA in roots of any of the mutants. Thus, the lack of carotenoids in these mutants correlated positively with the apparent absence of ABA. Primary roots of normal and mutant seedlings were positively gravitropic, with no significant differences in the curvatures of roots of normal as compared with mutant seedlings. These results indicate that ABA 1) is synthesized in maize roots via the carotenoid pathway, and 2) is not necessary for positive gravitropism by primary roots of Z. mays.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: Computer graphics is being employed at the NASA Johnson Space Center as a tool to perform rapid, efficient and economical analyses for man-machine integration, flight operations development and systems engineering. The Operator Station Design System (OSDS), a computer-based facility featuring a highly flexible and versatile interactive software package, PLAID, is described. This unique evaluation tool, with its expanding data base of Space Shuttle elements, various payloads, experiments, crew equipment and man models, supports a multitude of technical evaluations, including spacecraft and workstation layout, definition of astronaut visual access, flight techniques development, cargo integration and crew training. As OSDS is being applied to the Space Shuttle, Orbiter payloads (including the European Space Agency's Spacelab) and future space vehicles and stations, astronaut and systems safety are being enhanced. Typical OSDS examples are presented. By performing physical and operational evaluations during early conceptual phases. supporting systems verification for flight readiness, and applying its capabilities to real-time mission support, the OSDS provides the wherewithal to satisfy a growing need of the current and future space programs for efficient, economical analyses.

    Shoot inversion-induced ethylene in Pharbitis nil induces the release of apical dominance by restricting shoot elongation (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: Shoot inversion induces outgrowth of the highest lateral bud (HLB) adjacent to the bend in the stem in Pharbitis nil. In order to determine whether or not ethylene produced by shoot inversion plays a direct role in promoting or inhibiting bud outgrowth, comparisons were made of endogenous levels of ethylene in the HLB and HLB node of plants with and without inverted shoots. That no changes were found suggests that the control of apical dominance does not involve the direction action of ethylene. This conclusion is further supported by evidence that the direct application of ethylene inhibitors or ethrel to inactive or induced lateral buds has no significant effect on bud outgrowth. The hypothesis that ethylene evolved during shoot inversion indirectly promotes the outgrowth of the highest lateral bud (HLB) in restricting terminal bud (TB) growth is found to be supported by the following observations: (1) the restriction of TB growth appears to occur before the beginning of HLB outgrowth; (2) the treatment of the inverted portion of the shoot with AgNO3, an inhibitor of ethylene action, dramatically eliminates both the restriction of TB growth and the promotion of HLB outgrowth which usually accompany shoot inversion; and (3) the treatment of the upper shoot of an upright plant with ethrel mimics shoot inversion by retarding upper shoot growth and inducing outgrowth of the lateral bud basipetal to the treated region.

    The involvement of glucose-6-phosphatase in mucilage secretion by root cap cells of Zea mays (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: In order to determine the involvement of glucose-6-phosphatase in mucilage secretion by root cap cells, we have cytochemically localized the enzyme in columella and peripheral cells of root caps of Zea mays. Glucose-6-phosphatase is associated with the plasmalemma and cell wall of columella cells. As columella cells differentiate into peripheral cells and begin to produce and secrete mucilage, glucose-6-phosphatase staining intensifies and becomes associated with the mucilage and, to a lesser extent, the cell wall. Cells being sloughed from the cap are characterized by glucose-6-phosphatase staining being associated with the vacuole and plasmalemma. These changes in enzyme localization during cellular differentiation in root caps suggest that glucose-6-phosphatase is involved in the production and/or secretion of mucilage by peripheral cells of Z. mays.

    Description: In order to determine if patterns of cell differentiation are similar in primary and lateral roots, I performed a morphometric analysis of the ultrastructure of calyptrogen, columella, and peripheral cells in primary and lateral roots of Helianthus annuus. Each cell type is characterized by a unique ultrastructure, and the ultrastructural changes characteristic of cellular differentiation in root caps are organelle specific. No major structural differences exist in the structures of the composite cell types, or in patterns of cell differentiation in caps of primary vs. lateral roots.

    Root growth, secondary root formation and root gravitropism in carotenoid-deficient seedlings of Zea mays L (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: The effect of ABA on root growth, secondary-root formation and root gravitropism in seedlings of Zea mays was investigated by using Fluridone-treated seedlings and a viviparous mutant, both of which lack carotenoids and ABA. Primary roots of seedlings grown in the presence of Fluridone grew significantly slower than those of control (i.e. untreated) roots. Elongation of Fluridone-treated roots was inhibited significantly by the exogenous application of 1 mM ABA. Exogenous application of 1 micromole and 1 nmole ABA had either no effect or only a slight stimulatory effect on root elongation, depending on the method of application. The absence of ABA in Fluridone-treated plants was not an important factor in secondary-root formation in seedlings less than 9-10 d old. However, ABA may suppress secondary-root formation in older seedlings, since 11-d-old control seedlings had significantly fewer secondary roots than Fluridone-treated seedlings. Roots of Fluridone-treated and control seedlings were graviresponsive. Similar data were obtained for vp-9 mutants of Z. mays, which are phenotypically identical to Fluridone-treated seedlings. These results indicate that ABA is necessary for neither secondary-root formation nor for positive gravitropism by primary roots.

    Cell wall elasticity: I. A critique of the bulk elastic modulus approach and an analysis using polymer elastic principles (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: The traditional bulk elastic modulus approach to plant cell pressure-volume relations is inconsistent with its definition. The relationship between the bulk modulus and Young's modulus that forms the basis of their usual application to cell pressure-volume properties is demonstrated to be physically meaningless. The bulk modulus describes stress/strain relations of solid, homogeneous bodies undergoing small deformations, whereas the plant cell is best described as a thin-shelled, fluid-filled structure with a polymer base. Because cell walls possess a polymer structure, an alternative method of mechanical analysis is presented using polymer elasticity principles. This initial study presents the groundwork of polymer mechanics as would be applied to cell walls and discusses how the matrix and microfibrillar network induce nonlinear stress/strain relationships in the cell wall in response to turgor pressure. In subsequent studies, these concepts will be expanded to include anisotropic expansion as regulated by the microfibrillar network.

    Kinetic separation of phototropism from blue-light inhibition of stem elongation (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: These experiments tested the hypothesis that phototropic bending arises when a light gradient across the stem differentially inhibits cell elongation because of direct inhibition of cell elongation by light (the Blaauw hypothesis). Continuous irradiation of dark-grown cucumber seedlings (Cucumis sativus L.) with unilateral blue light inhibited hypocotyl elongation within 30 s, but did not induce phototropic curvature until 4.5 h after the start of irradiation. Marking experiments showed that curvature began simultaneously at the top and bottom of the growing region. In situ measurements of the light gradient across the stem with a glass fiber optic indicated that a 5- to 6-fold difference in fluence rate was established on the two sides of the stem. The light gradient established at the start of irradiation was the same as that after 6 h of irradiation. Changes in gravitropic responsiveness during this period were also ruled out. Calculations show that the light gradient should have caused curvature which would be detectable within 30 to 60 min and which would extrapolate to the start of irradiation--if the Blaauw hypothesis were correct. The long lag for phototropism in this case indicates that rapid inhibition of cell elongation by blue light does not cause the asymmetrical growth of phototropism. Rather, phototropism is superimposed upon this separate light growth response.

A simple and rapid method, using a modification of Grinnell's technique is reported here. Essentially, microspheres coated with Concavalin A are used to bind to glycosylated regions of the palatal shelf epithelium and are visualized in the scanning electron microscope (SEM).

    Elimination of toxicity from polyurethane foam plugs used for plant culture (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Polyurethane foam plugs commonly are used as collars or supports to grow plants in solution culture. Despite their utility, these foam plugs can be quite toxic to plants, particularly to small seedlings. We have observed tissue injury in tests using plugs to support lettuce, red beet, and potato plants in solution culture. Typically, the injury is initiated on the hypocotyl or stem tissue in direct contact with the foam, and appears within 30 hr as a brownish discoloration on the tissue surface. This discoloration can be followed by complete collapse of affected tissue and eventual death of the seedling. When injury does not progress beyond surface browning, the seedling survives but growth is slowed. In this paper, we report on different treatments that can be used to remove the toxicity of these plugs so they can be used in plant research.

    A technique for collection of exudate from pea seedlings (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), at concentrations higher than 1.0 millimolar, is phytotoxic to etiolated seedlings of Pisum sativum. Substantial vascular exudation from pea epicotyls could be obtained without tissue damage at 0.5 millimolar EDTA if the solution was buffered at pH 7.5 with sodium N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'-2-ethanesulfonic acid. Treated seedlings exuded 950 micrograms (leucine equivalents) of ninhydrin-positive material per day and 870 micrograms (glucose equivalents) of anthrone-positive material per day. Amino acid analysis showed the exudate to have glutamine as the major amido nitrogen containing compound and sucrose was shown to be the major sugar. Radiolabeled tryptophan and sucrose applied to cotyledons were transferred through the epicotyl and into the collection medium. The pH profile for exudation shows half maximal exudation at pH 7.2, indicating the promotion of exudation by EDTA is probably not due simply to Ca2+ chelation.

    NMR characterization of functional groups: 9--isomer ratios of available chloromethylstyrene mixtures (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: From the assignments of the 1H and 13C 11.7 tesla NMR spectra of available mixtures of m- and p-chloromethylstyrene, the proportion of the meta and para compounds are easily determined. For these materials from two common commercial sources, proportions of 72 and 28% and 68 and 32% were found. These concentrations are substantially different from the often assumed 60 and 40% for the meta and para compounds, respectively. The influence of this difference on the desired properties of copolymers made from such mixtures is discussed. An alternative quantitative procedure for determining the chloromethyl group isomer ratios is also described which employs silver trifluoroacetate in acetone displacement of chloride and 19F NMR examination of the resulting ester mixture with a 2.3 tesla spectrometer.

    Computer-assisted image analysis of plant growth, thigmomorphogenesis and gravitropism (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-17
    Description: A nonintrusive auxonometric system, based on the DARWIN image processor (Telewski et al. 1983 Plant Physiol 72: 177-181), is described and demonstrated in the analysis of gravitropism and thigmomorphogenesis in corn seedlings (Zea mays). Using this system, growth and bending of regularly shaped plants or organs can be quickly and accurately measured without, in any way, interfering with the plant. Furthermore, the growth and bending curves are automatically plotted. Thigmomorphogenesis in the aerial part of corn seedlings involves growth promotion at a low force load and growth retardation at higher force loads. The time courses of the two kinds of response are somewhat different, with retardation occurring immediately after mechanical perturbation and growth promotion taking somewhat longer to begin. Gravitropic experiments show that when dark-grown corn seedlings are placed on their side in the light, the resulting curvature is due to two consecutive morphological mechanisms. In the first instance, lasting for about 15 minutes, the elongation of the bottom edge of the plant accelerates, while the elongation of the top edge remains constant. After that, for the next 1.75 hours, the elongation of the top edge decelerates and stops while that of the bottom edge remains constant at the increased rate for most of the period. The measurements taken from both experiments at relatively high resolution (0.08-0.1 millimeter) show that the growth curves are not smooth but show many small irregularities which may or may not involve micronutations.

    Calcium movement, graviresponsiveness and the structure of columella cells and columella tissues in roots of Allium cepa L (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-17
    Description: Roots of Allium cepa L. cv. Yellow are differentially responsive to gravity. Long (e.g. 40 mm) roots are strongly graviresponsive, while short (c.g. 4 mm) roots are minimally responsive to gravity. Although columella cells of graviresponsive roots are larger than those of nongraviresponsive roots, they partition their volumes to cellular organelles similarly. The movement of amyloplasts and nuclei in columella cells of horizontally-oriented roots correlates positively with the onset of gravicurvature. Furthermore, there is no significant difference in the rates of organellar redistribution when graviresponsive and nongraviresponsive roots are oriented horizontally. The more pronounced graviresponsiveness of longer roots correlates positively with (1) their caps being 9-6 times more voluminous, (2) their columella tissues being 42 times more voluminous, (3) their caps having 15 times more columella cells, and (4) their columella tissues having relative volumes 4.4 times larger than those of shorter, nongraviresponsive roots. Graviresponsive roots that are oriented horizontally are characterized by a strongly polar movement of 45Ca2+ across the root tip from the upper to the lower side, while similarly oriented nongraviresponsive roots exhibit only a minimal polar transport of 45Ca2+. These results indicate that the differential graviresponsiveness of roots of A. cepa is probably not due to either (1) ultrastructural differences in their columella cells, (2) differences in the rates of organellar redistribution when roots are oriented horizontally. Rather, these results indicate the graviresponsiveness may require an extensive columella tissue, which, in turn, may be necessary for polar movement of 45Ca2+ across the root tip.

    Iron and sulfur in the pre-biologic ocean (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-16
    Description: Tentative geochemical cycles for the pre-biologic Earth are developed by comparing the relative fluxes of oxygen, dissolved iron, and sulfide to the atmosphere and ocean. The flux of iron is found to exceed both the oxygen and the sulfide fluxes. Because of the insolubility of iron oxides and sulfides the implication is that dissolved iron was fairly abundant and that oxygen and sulfide were rare in the atmosphere and ocean. Sulfate, produced by the oxidation of volcanogenic sulfur gases, was the most abundant sulfur species in the ocean, but its concentration was low by modern standards because of the absence of the river-borne flux of dissolved sulfate produced by oxidative weathering of the continents. These findings are consistent with the geologic record of the isotopic composition of sedimentary sulfates and sulfides. Except in restricted environments, the sulfur metabolism of the earliest organisms probably involved oxidized sulfur species not sulfide.

    Polar transport of auxin across gravistimulated roots of maize and its enhancement by calcium (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-17
    Description: The effect of Ca on the polar movement of [3H]indoleacetic acid ([3H]IAA) in gravistimulated roots was examined using 3-day-old seedlings of maize (Zea mays L.). Transport of label was measured by placing an agar donor block containing [3H]IAA on one side of the elongation zone and measuring movement of label across the root into an agar receiver block on the opposite side. In vertically oriented roots, movement of label across the elongation zone into the receiver was slight and was not enhanced by incorporating 10 millimolar CaCl2 into the receiver block. In horizontally oriented roots, movement of label across the root was readily detectable and movement to a receiver on the bottom was about 3-fold greater than movement in the opposite direction. This polarity was abolished in roots from which the caps were removed prior to gravistimulation. When CaCl2 was incorporated into the receivers, movement of label across horizontally oriented intact roots was increased about 3-fold in both the downward and upward direction. The ability of Ca to enhance the movement of label from [3H]IAA increased with increasing Ca concentration in the receiver up to 5 to 10 millimolar CaCl2. With the inclusion of CaCl2 in the receiver blocks, gravity-induced polar movement of label into receiver blocks from applied [3H]IAA was detectable within 30 minutes, and asymmetric distribution of label within the tissue was detectable within 20 minutes. The results indicate that gravistimulation induces a physiological asymmetry in the auxin transport system of maize roots and that Ca increases the total transport of auxin across the root.

    Description: The use of a self-contained unit-gravity cell separation apparatus for separation of populations of mouse testicular cells is described. The apparatus, a Celsep (TM), maximizes the unit area over which sedimentation occurs, reduces the amount of separation medium employed, and is quite reproducible. Cells thus isolated have been good sources for isolation of DNA, and notably, high molecular weight RNA.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Fourier transform i.r. measurements of L-pyroglutamic acid dispersed in a matrix of a clay, silica or alumina have been obtained at various temperatures between 25 and 220 degrees C. The i.r. spectrum of L-pyroglutamic acid varies in a manner dependent upon the matrix material and shows considerable change as the temperature of the mixtures is increased. The differences in the spectrum at elevated temperatures are explained in terms of a chemical reaction between hydroxyl groups in the matrix and the carboxylic acid. The i.r. spectra of trimethylsilyl derivatives of L-pyroglutamic acid and aluminum pyroglutamate were also measured to assist the understanding of spectra and interpretation of the spectral changes dependent upon increasing temperature.

    Subtle alternating electrocardiographic morphology as an indicator of decreased cardiac electrical stability (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Observations from finite-element computer models, together with analytic developments based on percolation theory have suggested that subtle fluctuations of ECG morphology might serve as an indicator diminished cardiac electrical stability. With fixed-rate atrial pacing in canines, we have previously observed a pattern of alternation in T wave energy which correlated with cardiac electrical stability. We report here on a series of 20 canine experiments in which cardiac electrical stability (measured via Ventricular Fibrillation Threshold determination) was compared to a non-degenerate, multidimensional measurement of the degree of alternating activity present in the ECG complex morphology. The decrease in cardiac electrical stability brought on by both coronary artery occlusion and systemic hypothermia was consistently accompanied by subtle alternation in ECG morphology, with the absolute degree of alternating activity being significantly (negatively) correlated with cardiac electrical stability.

    Precision and sensitivity of the measurement of 15N enrichment in D-alanine from bacterial cell walls using positive/negative ion mass spectrometry (1985)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Sensitive detection of cellular components from specific groups of microbes can be utilized as 'signatures' in the examination of microbial consortia from soils, sediments or biofilms. Utilizing capillary gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and stereospecific derivatizing agents, D-alanine, a component localized in the prokaryotic (bacterial) cell wall, can be detected reproducibly. Enrichments of D-[15N]alanine determined in E. coli grown with [15N]ammonia can be determined with precision at 1.0 atom%. Chemical ionization with methane gas and the detection of negative ions (M - HF)- and (M - F or M + H - HF)- formed from the heptafluorobutyryl D-2 butanol ester of D-alanine allowed as little as 8 pg (90 fmol) to be detected reproducibly. This method can be utilized to define the metabolic activity in terms of 15N incorporation at the level of 10(3)-10(4) cells, as a function of the 15N-14N ratio.

    Temperature effects on evoked potentials of hippocampal slices from euthermic chipmunks, hamsters and rats (1985)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: 1. Neural activity was recorded in hippocampal slices from euthermic chipmunks, hamsters and rats. 2. While recording the evoked potentials, the temperature of the Ringer's solution bathing the slice was varied by controlling the temperature of an outer chamber jacketing the recording chamber. 3. The temperature just below that at which a population spike could be evoked, Tt, was 10.4 +/- 0.3 degrees C (mean +/- SEM) for chipmunk slices, 14.1 +/- 0.4 degrees C for rat slices and 14.8 +/- 0.4 degrees C for hamster slices. Tt was significantly lower in the chipmunk slices (P〈0.01) than in the rat and hamster slices. 4. Data were interpreted as consistent with the hypothesis that chipmunk hippocampal neurons are intrinsically cold resistant.

    Mature phenotype in Hemerocallis plantlets fortuitously generated in vitro (1985)

    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Daylily plantlets generated on semi-solid media from morphogenetically competent cells or morphogenetically competent cells regenerated from protoplasts can give rise in aseptic culture to plantlets with a mature phenotype. The individual leaves of these plantlets open to the extreme base so that no encircling leaf sheath is present. This permits the overlapping bases and leaves to assume an open fan-like arrangement. The occurrence of fans correlates with exceptionally tightly sealed culture vessels and experiments to date suggest a gaseous component is associated with this change of growth form. It has not been possible to fix the mature growth mode, however, and new leaf growth assumes the more normal juvenile phenotype when the gaseous environment is altered by admitting or exposure to room air.

    Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopic methods for microbial ecology: analysis of bacteria, bacteria-polymer mixtures and biofilms (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy has been used to rapidly and nondestructively analyze bacteria, bacteria-polymer mixtures, digester samples and microbial biofilms. Diffuse reflectance FT-IR (DRIFT) analysis of freeze-dried, powdered samples offered a means of obtaining structural information. The bacteria examined were divided into two groups. The first group was characterized by a dominant amide I band and the second group of organisms displayed an additional strong carbonyl stretch at approximately 1740 cm-1. The differences illustrated by the subtraction spectra obtained for microbes of the two groups suggest that FT-IR spectroscopy can be utilized to recognize differences in microbial community structure. Calculation of specific band ratios has enabled the composition of bacteria and extracellular or intracellular storage product polymer mixtures to be determined for bacteria-gum arabic (amide I/carbohydrate C-O approximately 1150 cm-1) and bacteria-poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (amide I/carbonyl approximately 1740 cm-1). The key band ratios correlate with the compositions of the material and provide useful information for the application of FT-IR spectroscopy to environmental biofilm samples and for distinguishing bacteria grown under differing nutrient conditions. DRIFT spectra have been obtained for biofilms produced by Vibrio natriegens on stainless steel disks. Between 48 and 144 h, an increase in bands at approximately 1440 and 1090 cm-1 was seen in FT-IR spectra of the V. natriegens biofilm. DRIFT spectra of mixed culture effluents of anaerobic digesters show differences induced by shifts in input feedstocks. The use of flow-through attenuated total reflectance has permitted in situ real-time changes in biofilm formation to be monitored and provides a powerful tool for understanding the interactions within adherent microbial consortia.

    In vivo inhibition of polyamine biosynthesis and growth in tobacco ovary tissues (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Post fertilization growth of tobacco ovary tissues treated with inhibitors of polyamine (PA) biosynthesis was examined in relation to endogenous PA titers and the activities of arginine decarboxylase (ADC, EC 4.1.1.19) and ornithine decarboxylase (ODC, EC 4.1.1.17). DL-alpha-Difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) and DL-alpha-difluoromethylarginine (DFMA), specific, irreversible ("suicide") inhibitors of ODC and ADC in vitro, were used to modulate PA biosynthesis in excised flowers. ODC represented 〉99% of the total decarboxylase activity in tobacco ovaries. In vivo inhibition of ODC with DFMO resulted in a significant decrease in PA titers, ovary fresh weight and protein content. Simultaneous inhibition of both decarboxylases by DFMO and DFMA produced only a marginally greater depression in growth and PA titers, indicating that ODC activity is rate-limiting for PA biosynthesis in these tissues. Paradoxically, DFMA alone inhibited PA biosynthesis, not as a result of a specific inhibition of ADC, but primarily through the inactivation of ODC. In vivo inhibition of ODC by DFMA appears to result from arginase-mediated hydrolysis of this inhibitor to urea and DFMO, the suicide substrate for ODC. Putrescine conjugates in tobacco appear to function as a storage form of this amine which, upon hydrolysis, may contribute to Put homeostasis during growth.

    Correlations between polyamine ratios and growth patterns in seedling roots (1985)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: The levels of putrescine, cadaverine, spermidine and spermine were determined in seedling roots of pea, tomato, millet and corn, as well as in corn coleoptiles and pea internodes. In all roots, putrescine content increased as elongation progressed, and the putrescine/spermine ratio closely paralleled the sigmoid growth curve up until the time of lateral root initiation. Spermidine and spermine were most abundant near the apices and declined progressively with increasing age of the cells. In the zone of differentiation of root hairs in pea roots, putrescine rose progressively with increasing age, while cadaverine declined. In both pea internodes and corn coleoptiles, the putrescine/spermidine ratio rises with increasing age and elongation. Thus, a block in the conversion of the diamine putrescine to the triamine spermidine may be an important step in the change from cell division to cell elongation.

    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Elongation of main stem internodes and petioles of soybeans, Glycine max 'Ransom,' was examined in response to various photoperiod/temperature combinations and to end-of-day (EOD) light quality. Photoperiod treatments consisted of 10, 14, and 16 h in combination with day/night temperatures of 18/14, 22/18, 26/22, 30/26, and 34/30 C. The EOD treatments consisted of exposing plants to illumination from either incandescent (high far-red component, FR) or fluorescent (high red component, R) lamps during the final 0.5 h of a 10-h photoperiod. Internode elongation was not significantly promoted by the photoperiod treatments, and, in fact, under the two highest temperature regimes, internode elongation was suppressed under the longer photoperiods. Petiole elongation, however, was enhanced under the longer photoperiods at all temperatures. In the EOD light study, internode and petiole elongation was significantly greater on plants exposed to 0.5 h EOD from incandescent lamps than from fluorescent. Under the incandescent EOD treatment, plants increased dry matter production by 41% and exhibited greater partitioning of assimilates in stem and root portions than under fluorescent EOD.

    Description: In order to understand the determinants of transitions in cardiac electrical activity from normal patterns to dysrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation, we are constructing an anatomically and physiologically detailed finite element simulation of myocardial electrical propagation. A healthy human heart embedded in paraffin was sectioned to provide a detailed anatomical substrate for model calculations. The simulation of propagation includes anisotropy in conduction velocity due to fiber orientation as well as gradients in conduction velocities, absolute and relative refractory periods, action potential duration and electrotonic influence of nearest neighbors. The model also includes changes in the behaviour of myocardial tissue as a function of the past local activity. With this model, we can examine the significance of fiber orientation and time dependence of local propagation parameters on dysrhythmogenesis.

    The cryptoendolithic microbial environment in the Antarctic cold desert: temperature variations in nature (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: In the Antarctic cold desert, cryptoendolithic microorganisms live under the surface of porous sandstone rocks. During the austral summer, the environment of the near-surface rock layers colonized by organisms is characterized by two kinds of temperature oscillations, both occurring across the freezing point. Low-frequency (diurnal) and large-amplitude (up to about 20 degrees C) oscillations on the sunlit surface of rocks result in a daily freeze-thaw cycle. This is a result of the diurnal changes in the sun altitude and angle with respect to the rock surface. The biological effect of this oscillation is the regulation of the onset and cessation of metabolic activity. The high-frequency (few minutes) oscillations occur only under certain weather conditions (sunny days with light winds) and are superimposed on the low-frequency oscillations. They are caused by the cooling effect of wind gusts on rock surfaces that are much warmer than ambient air temperatures. High-frequency oscillations result in a rapid freeze-thaw cycle on the surface, which, however, does not reach the microbial zone. These high-frequency freeze-thaw oscillations are probably the cause of the abiotic nature of the rock surface. Both oscillations seem to have an effect on rock weathering.

    An evaluation of MES (2(N-Morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid) and Amberlite IRC-50 as pH buffers for nutrient solution studies (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: All buffering agents used to stabilize pH in hydroponic research have disadvantages. Inorganic buffers are absorbed and may become phytotoxic. Solid carbonate salts temporarily mitigate decreasing pH but provide almost no protection against increasing pH, and they alter nutrient absorption. Exchange resins are more effective, but we find that they remove magnesium and manganese from solution. We have tested 2(N-Morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid (MES) as a buffering agent at concentrations of 1 and 10 mol m-3 (1 and 10 mM) with beans, corn, lettuce, tomatoes, and wheat. MES appears to be biologically inert and does not interact significantly with other solution ions. Relative growth rates among controls and MES treatments were nearly identical for each species during the trial period. The pH was stabilized by 1 mol m-3 MES. This buffer warrants further consideration in nutrient research.

    Description: Wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv Fremont) grown in hydroponic culture under 24-hour continuous irradiation at 560 to 580 micromoles per square meter per second from either metalhalide (MH), high pressure sodium (HPS), or low pressure sodium (LPS) lamps reached maturity in 70 days. Grain yields were similar under all three lamps, although LPS-grown plants lodged at maturity. Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and a tyrosine ammonia lyase (TAL) with lesser activity were detected in all extracts of leaf, inflorescence, and stem. Ammonia-lyase activities increased with age of the plant, and plants grown under the LPS lamp displayed PAL and TAL activities lower than wheat cultured under MH and HPS radiation. Greenhouse solar-grown wheat had the highest PAL and TAL activities. Lignin content of LPS-grown wheat was also significantly reduced from that of plants grown under MH or HPS lamps or in the greenhouse, showing a correlation with the reduced PAL and TAL activities. Ratios of far red-absorbing phytochrome to total phytochrome were similar for all three lamps, but the data do not yet warrant a conclusion about specific wavelengths missing from the LPS lamps that might have induced PAL and TAL activities in plants under the other lamps.

    Quantitative determination of microbial activity and community nutritional status in estuarine sediments: evidence for a disturbance artifact (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: In estuarine sediments with a high degree of vertical heterogeneity in reduced substrate and terminal electron acceptor concentrations, the method of exposure of the microbiota to labeled substrates can introduce a "disturbance artifact" into measures of metabolic activity. The detection of this artifact is based on quantitative measurement of the relative rates of incorporation of [14C]acetate into phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) and endogenous storage lipid, poly-beta-hydroxyalkanoate (PHA). Previous studies have shown that PLFA synthesis measures cellular growth and that PHA synthesis measures carbon accumulation (unbalanced growth). The "disturbance artifact" of exposure to [14C]acetate was demonstrated by comparing injection of a core with the usual or pore-water replacement or slurry techniques. Only injection of labeled substrate allowed detection of preassay disturbance of the sediment with a garden rake. The raking increased PLFA synthesis with little effect to differences in concentration or distribution of [14C]acetate in the 10-min incubation. Bioturbation induced by sand dollar feeding in estuarine sediment could be detected in an increased PLFA/PHA ratio which was due to decreased PHA synthesis if the addition of labeled substrate was by the injection technique. Addition of labeled precursors to sediment by slurry or pore-water replacement induces greater disturbance artifacts than injection techniques.

    Polar transport of 45Ca2+ across the elongation zone of gravistimulated roots (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-15
    Description: The movement of calcium across the elongation zone of gravistimulated primary roots of maize (Zea mays L.) was measured using 45Ca2+. Radioactive calcium was applied to one side of the elongation zone about 4 mm back from the root tip and the distribution of radioactivity across the root in the region of application was determined using scintillation spectrometry. The movement of 45Ca2+ across the elongation zone was non-polar in vertically oriented roots. In gravistimulated roots the movement of label was polarized with about twice as much label moving from top to bottom as from bottom to top. A variety of treatments which interfere with gravitropism was found to eliminate the polar movement of 45Ca2+ across the elongation zone. In maize cultivars which require light for gravitropic competency, dark grown roots exhibited neither gravitropism nor polar movement of 45Ca2+ across the elongation zone. Upon illumination the roots developed but gravitropic competency and gravity-induced polar movement of 45Ca2+ across the elongation zone. Similarly, roots of light-grown seedlings lost both gravitropic competency and 45Ca2+ transport polarity upon transfer to the dark. The results indicate a close correlation between calcium movement and gravitropism in primary roots in maize.

    Abscisic acid, xanthoxin and violaxanthin in the caps of gravistimulated maize roots (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-15
    Description: The occurrence and distribution of abscisic acid (ABA), xanthoxin (Xa) and the carotenoid violaxanthin (Va) were investigated in root tips of maize (Zea mays L. cv. Merit). In roots grown in the dark, Va and ABA were present in relatively high amounts in the root cap and in low amounts in the adjacent terminal 1.5 mm of the root. Xanthoxin was present in equal concentrations in both regions. In roots exposed to light, the ABA distribution was reversed, with relatively low levels in the root cap and high levels in the adjacent 1.5-mm segment. Light also caused a decrease in Va in both regions of the root and an increase in Xa, especially in the cap. In the maize cultivar used for this work, light is necessary for gravitropic curving. This response occurs within the same time frame as the light-induced ABA redistribution as well as the changes in the levels of Va and Xa. These data are consistent with a role for ABA in root gravitropism and support the proposal that Xa may arise from the turnover of Va.

    Cytoplasmic streaming affects gravity-induced amyloplast sedimentation in maize coleoptiles (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-17
    Description: Living maize (Zea mays L.) coleoptile cells were observed using a horizontal microscope to determine the interaction between cytoplasmic streaming and gravity-induced amyloplast sedimentation. Sedimentation is heavily influenced by streaming which may (1) hasten or slow the velocity of amyloplast movement and (2) displace the plastid laterally or even upwards before or after sedimentation. Amyloplasts may move through transvacuolar strands or through the peripheral cytoplasm which may be divided into fine cytoplasmic strands of much smaller diameter than the plastids. The results indicate that streaming may contribute to the dynamics of graviperception by influencing amyloplast movement.

    Amyloplast sedimentation kinetics in gravistimulated maize roots (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-15
    Description: Amyloplast sedimentation in gravistimulated maize (Zea mays L.) roots was measured using the change in angle from the center of the cell to each amyloplast as an index of sedimentation. Using tissue fixed after gravistimulation, the relationship between mean amyloplast angle and the duration of gravistimulation was found to be linear when plotted on a logarithmic time scale. Extrapolated values for the onset of angular change are 5.9 s after the start of gravistimulation for the entire population of amyloplasts and 11.8 s for lead amyloplasts. By multiplying the instantaneous angular velocity (in radians) by the cell center to amyloplast radius, it is possible to calculate the initial sedimentation velocity to be 19.1 micrometers min-1 at 5.9 s. During sedimentation, the mean amyloplast angles surpass the calculated cell corner angle of 123 at 2.2 min for all amyloplasts and at 19 s for lead amyloplasts near the new lower wall. Thus, substantial sedimentation occurs within the presentation time, calculated to be 4.1 min. These kinetics are consistent with several hypotheses of graviperception.

    Mechanical perturbation-induced ethylene releases apical dominance in Pharbitis nil by restricting shoot growth (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-15
    Description: Mechanical perturbation (MP, rubbing) or internodes of Pharbitis nil shoots initiates release of lateral buds (LB) from apical dominance within 48 h. Evidence is presented which suggests that MP promotion of LB outgrowth is mediated by ethylene-induced restriction of main shoot growth. Ethylene production in the internodes is stimulated by MP within 2 h. Effects of MP are mimicked by treatments with 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) and are negated by the inhibitors of ethylene production or action, aminoethoxy vinylglycine (AVG) and AgNO3. The fact that effects of MP, ACC, and ethylene inhibitors are observed to occur on main shoot growth at least 24 h before they are observed to occur on LB growth suggests a possible cause and effect relationship. MP also causes an increase in internode diameter. MP stimulation of ethylene production appears to be mediated by ACC synthase. The results of this study and our previous studies suggest that apical dominance may be released by any mechanism which induces ethylene restriction of main shoot growth.

    Growth and graviresponsiveness of primary roots of Zea mays seedlings deficient in abscisic acid and gibberellic acid (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-15
    Description: The objective of this research was to determine if gibberellic acid (GA) and/or abscisic acid (ABA) are necessary for graviresponsiveness by primary roots of Zea mays. To accomplish this objective we measured the growth and graviresponsiveness of primary roots of seedlings in which the synthesis of ABA and GA was inhibited collectively and individually by genetic and chemical means. Roots of seedlings treated with Fluridone (an inhibitor of ABA biosynthesis) and Ancymidol (an inhibitor of GA biosynthesis) were characterized by slower growth rates but not significantly different gravicultures as compared to untreated controls. Gravicurvatures of primary roots of d-5 mutants (having undetectable levels of GA) and vp-9 mutants (having undectable levels of ABA) were not significantly different from those of wild-type seedlings. Roots of seedlings in which the biosynthesis of ABA and GA was collectively inhibited were characterized by gravicurvatures not significantly different for those of controls. These results (1) indicate that drastic reductions in the amount of ABA and GA in Z. mays seedlings do not significantly alter root graviresponsiveness, (2) suggest that neither ABA nor GA is necessary for root gravicurvature, and (3) indicate that root gravicurvature is not necessarily proportional to root elongation.

    Assessment of metabolic bone diseases by quantitative computed tomography (1985)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Advances in the radiologic sciences have permitted the development of numerous noninvasive techniques for measuring the mineral content of bone, with varying degrees of precision, accuracy, and sensitivity. The techniques of standard radiography, radiogrammetry, photodensitometry, Compton scattering, neutron activation analysis, single and dual photon absorptiometry, and quantitative computed tomography (QCT) are described and reviewed in depth. Results from previous cross-sectional and longitudinal QCT investigations are given. They then describe a current investigation in which they studied 269 subjects, including 173 normal women, 34 patients with hyperparathyroidism, 24 patients with steroid-induced osteoporosis, and 38 men with idiopathic osteoporosis. Spinal quantitative computed tomography, radiogrammetry, and single photon absorptiometry were performed, and a spinal fracture index was calculated on all patients. The authors found a disproportionate loss of spinal trabecular mineral compared to appendicular mineral in the men with idiopathic osteoporosis and the patients with steroid-induced osteoporosis. They observed roughly equivalent mineral loss in both the appendicular and axial regions in the hyperparathyroid patients. The appendicular cortical measurements correlated moderately well with each other but less well with spinal trabecular QCT. The spinal fracture index correlated well with QCT and less well with the appendicular measurements. Knowledge of appendicular cortical mineral status is important in its own right but is not a valid predictor of axial trabecular mineral status, which may be disproportionately decreased in certain diseases. Quantitative CT provides a reliable means of assessing the latter region of the skeleton, correlates well with the spinal fracture index (a semiquantitative measurement of end-organ failure), and offers the clinician a sensitive means of following the effects of therapy.

    Notes: The σ-orbital manifold of cubane 1, as suggested by its PE spectrum, is divided into two sets separated by a 3 eV gap extending from ∼ -10.5 eV to ∼ -13.5 eV. Halogen substituents with np AO basis energies falling into this gap (e.g. Cl or Br) will, therefore, hyperconjugate appreciably with both sets. Interaction with the lower-lying set will lead to the usual destabilization (‘normal’ hyperconjugation), whereas interaction with the set above will necessarily lead to a ‘stabilization’ (‘inverted’ hyperconjugation). As a result the lone-pair ionization energies of Cl or Br substituted cubanes (derived from PE spectra) are much larger than naively expected for an alkyl halide containing as much as 8 C-atoms. In particular no significant shift of the eg-1 lone-pair bands in the PE spectra of 1,4-dichloro- and 1,4-dibromocubane can be detected with respect to the first ionization energies of the free atoms Cl and Br, or of HCl and HBr.

    Notes: Chemical synthesis and biological activities of a new α-melanotropin derivative are described. Nα-(5-Bromovaleryl)-Nα-deacetyl-α-melanotropin contains the 5-bromopentanoyl group as a chemical ‘handle’ in place of the acetyl group of the natural hormone. The synthesis involved a new protected intermediate which allowed the selective deprotection of either the Nα or Nα amino group. The title compound reacted with sodium thiosulfate to give Nα-deacetyl-Nα-(5-(sulfothio)valeryl)-α-melanotropin, a key intermediate for the preparation of tobaccomosaic virus/α-melanotropin disulfide conjugates. As a basis for the study of the conjugates, biological activities of the title compound on Cloudman S-91 mouse melanoma cell cultures (tyrosinase stimulation, binding, and cyclic AMP accumulation) were determined. They proved to be quite similar to the corresponding α-melanotropin activities. Differences in bindings may be explained by stronger hydrophobic interaction of the new derivative with the lipid phase of the target cell membranes.

    Notes: The carbonyl group in lactones and, to a lesser extent, in lactams tends to show a C—C=O angle that is larger than the O—C=O or N—C=O angle, the difference increasing in magnitude as the ring size decreases. The observed trend provides information on ratios of force constants characterising the flexibility of the s-cis-ester group and may be interpreted in terms of incipient chemical reaction to -O—(CH2)n—C≡O+. Molecular orbital calculations (MINDO/3, MNDO, EH) for model compounds provide an electronic interpretation of this angle difference in terms of an anomeric interaction between the p-type lone pair on the carbonyl O-atom and the antibonding C-O or C-N orbital.

    Notes: Cyclic octa- and decapeptides have been prepared, and their ion selectivity in solvent polymeric membranes was studied. Cyclo(-LPro-DLeu-)5 behaves as an ionophore which selects Mg2+ over Ca2+ by a factor of 100. Cyclo(LPro-LLeu)5 induces selectivity in membranes for Mg2+ over Li+, Na+ and K+ by a factor of 400, 200 and 10, respectively, while selectivity of Mg2+ over Ca2+ is poor. Some evidence is presented which indicates that certain ionophores exhibit high selectivity for monovalent magnesium complexes.

    Notes: Alkylation in the 2-Position of (2S, 4R)-4-Hydroxyproline with Retention of ConfigurationO-Acetyl-4-hydroxyproline (1b) is condensed with pivalaldehyde to give a single stereoisomer of the 2-(tert-butyl)-4-oxo-3-oxa-1-azabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-7-yl acetate (3). This is converted to the enolates 4 or 5, reactions of which with alkyl halides, aldehydes, and acetone (→6,9,10,11) are diastereoselective (lk-1,3-induction). Cleavage of the corresponding products furnishes the enantiomerically pure 2-deuterio-, 2-methyl-, 2-allyl-, and 2-benzyl-substituted 4-hydroxyprolines 2a-2d.

    Notes: On the Steric Course of the Reaction of Enamines Derived from Open-Chain Aldehydes and Ketones with Nitro-olefins Yielding 2,3-Disubstituted 4-NitroketonesThe relative configuration of the nitro-ketone 12 obtained by the title reaction has been proved by a Baeyer-Villiger degradation and subsequent reduction to the amino-alcohol (±)-(u)-20, the relative configuration of which is identical with a sample prepared from 2-methyl-3-hydroxybutyrate of known configuration (Scheme 1). The stereochemical course of the title reaction is thus as predicted by our topological rule. It is assumed that the other nitro-ketones 13-18 described here are also formed by (lk)-combination of the trigonal centers of the educts (diastereoselectivity 〉 90%, see Formulae and Fig. 1). It is not possible to reverse this relative topicity by employing (Z)- instead of (E)-components of the starting materials, due to the reversibility of the primary step of these Michael additions (Schemes 2 and 3, and Fig. 2).

    Notes: On singlet excitation (λ = 254 nm), the epoxydiene (E)-3 underwent (E)/(Z)-isomerization, electrocyclic ring closure of the diene side chain leading to the cyclobutenes 4A + B, and rearrangement to the cyclohexanones 5A + B. Compounds 5A + B were presumably formed in a series of processes including a 1,3-acyl shift of the homoconjugated ketone 8, arising from (Z)-3 by a 1,5-H-shift accompanied by cleavage of the C,O-bond of the oxirane.

Thus, conjugated additions of RCu to enoates (1→2) furnished, after saponification, β-substituted carboxylic acids 3 in 94-98% e.e. Similarly, propionates 12 yielded after deprotonation, enolate alkylation, and reductive ester cleavage the (R)-alcohols 15 in 78-98% e.e. The acid (+)-3e was converted to the pheromone (-)-11.

    Notes: Synthesis of the pentadentate ligand 2,6-bis(3-carboxy-1,2-dimethyl-2-azapropyl)pyridine yields a mixture of the racemic and meso-isomers which it was difficult to separate by column chromatography. When the cationic Co(III)-complex of this ligand was crystallized with hexafluorophosphate as anion, two distinct crystalline forms were produced. The complex of the racemic ligand, 1, has C2 symmetry and is a dihydrate; a = 8.999(8), b = 12.047(6), c = 20.65(1) Å, orthorhombic, space group Peen,Z = 4, R = 0.074 for 1439 observed reflections. The complex of the meso-ligand, 2, shows two independent molecules (2A and 2B) per asymmetric unit, both monohydrates with a resolved disordered H2O molecule in 2A; a = 10.109(4), b = 12.835(2), c = 16.651(3) Å, α = 89.5(1)°, β = 84.7(3)°, γ = 88.6(3)°, triclinic, space group P1, Z = 4, Rs = 0.054 for 4198 observed reflections. The coordination around the Co-atom is distorted octahedral in both complexes, with the coordinated H2O molecule trans to the pyridine N-atom. In the racemic form of the complex, 1, the pyridine ring is twisted about the Co-N(1) bond with respect to the plane defined by atoms Co, N(1), O(W1), N(2) and N(2P) by 17.2(2)°. In the meso-form of the complex, 2, the CH3 substituent C(8P) on atom C(4P), is now axial with respect to the 5-membered chelate ring. As a result of steric hinderance between atom O(1) and CH3(8P), the pyridine ring has been displaced from the best mean-plane formed by atoms Co, O(W1), N(2) and N(2P). The principal axis of the pyridine ring C(3)…N(1), makes an angle of 14.1(1)° (mean) with this plane. At the same time the pyridine ring is twisted about axis C(3)…N(1) with respect to this plane by 19.7(1)° (mean).

In the first step, regiospecific hetero-Diels-Alder cycloadditions between 1,2-dihydropyridines 1a and 10 and nitrosobenzene led to the bicyclic compounds 2a and 11, respectively, cis-Glycol formation starting from these latter adducts, followed by hydrogenolysis of the N—O bond and by exhaustive acetylation of the OH-groups, led to the diaminolyxose 5, the diaminomannose 14 and the diaminoallose 15. When starting from benzyl 1,2-dihydropyridine-1-carboxylate (1b) and using the same reaction sequence, the racemic piperidine derivative 8 was obtained.

Structural parameters of secondary carbenium ions calculated by this method are compared with those obtained with Schleyer's BIGSTRN calculations. The strain changes occurring upon solvolysis of secondary p-toluenesulfonates are evaluated by means of this force-field and correlated with the rate constants for solvolysis. The equation for correlation of acetolysis, relative to cyclohexyl p-toluenesulfonate, of 28 kc substrates is ΔGrel+ = 0.67 ΔEst - 0.20 (r = 0.958).

    Notes: Preparation of the Enantiomerically Pure cis- and trans-Configurated 2-(tert-Butyl)-3-methylimidazolidin-4-ones from the Amino Acids (S)-Alanine, (S)-Phenylalanine, (R)-Phenylglycine, (S)-Methionine, and (S)-ValineIn contrast to α-hydroxy and α-mercapto carboxylic acids, simple α-amino acids do not form acetal-type derivatives (2, X = NH) with pivalaldehyde. For the generation of amino-acid-derived chiral, nonracemic enolates (cf. 3), and hence, for the α-alkylation of amino acids without racemization and without an external chiral auxiliary, the imidazolidinones 12-14 were prepared diastereoselectively. To this end, the methyl or ethyl esters of amino-acid hydrochlorides were first converted to N-methylamides of amino acids which in turn were condensed with pivalaldehyde to give (neopentylidenamino)amides (11). These Schiff bases could be cyclized either to trans-or to cis-imidazolidinones (12, 14 and 13, respectively), which were obtained in enantiomerically pure form after recrystallization. The enantiomeric purities were confirmed by HPLC with chiral stationary phases or by 1H-NMR spectroscopy in the presence of chiral shift reagents. The configurations (cis, trans) were assigned by NOE measurements on 300- or 360-MHz 1H-NMR spectrometers.

    Notes: Enantiomerically pure cis- and trans-5-alkyl-1-benzoyl-2-(tert-butyl)-3-methylimidazolidin-4-ones (1, 2, 11, 15, 16) and trans-2-(tert-butyl)-3-methyl-5-phenylimidazolidin-4-one (20), readily available from (S)-alanine, (S)-valine, (S)-methionine, and (R)-phenylglycine are deprotonated to chiral enolates (cf. 3, 4, 12, 21). Diastereoselective alkylation of these enolates to 5,5-dialkyl- or 5-alkyl-5-arylimidazolidinones (5, 6, 9, 10, 13a-d, 17, 18, 22) and hydrolysis give α-alkyl-α-amino acids such as (R)- and (S)-α-methyldopa (7 and 8a, resp.), (S)-α-methylvaline (14), and (R)-α-methyl-methionine (19). The configuration of the products is proved by chemical correlation and by NOE 1H-NMR measurements (see 23, 24). In the overall process, a simple, enantiomerically pure α-amino acid can be α-alkylated with retention or with inversion of configuration through pivaladehyde acetal derivatives. Since no chiral auxiliary is required, the process is coined ‘self-reproduction of a center of chirality’. The method is compared with other α-alkylations of amino acids occurring without racemization. The importance of enantiomerically pure, α-branched α-amino acids as synthetic intermediates and for the preparation of biologically active compounds is discussed.

    Notes: tert-Butyl α,β-dioxobutyrate (hydrate; 1d) undergoes, at medium or high pH, the benzilic-acid rearrangement with exclusive 1,2-shift of the COO(t-Bu) group; the same is true for the corresponding isopropyl ester 1c and ethyl ester 1b at high pH, whereas at lower pH, the overall picture of these reactions is complicated by concurrent hydrolysis of the ester, followed by a 1,2-shift of the COO- group. Consequently, the shift of these electron-attracting groups cannot be considered to be systematically disfavoured (compared, e.g., with alkyl-group shifts). Kinetic measurements of the rearrangement show for both esters (as well as for the analogous ethyl ester 1b, and also for ethyl 3-cyclopropyl-α,β-dioxopropionate (4)) a characteristic rate profile: at relatively low pH, k is proportional to [HO-], approaching saturation with increasing [HO-] (interpreted as complete transformation of the substrate into the hydrate monoanion), which is followed at higher pH by another rate increase with k proportional to [HO-] (probably due to the reaction of the hydrate dianion). The similarity of k values for 1b-d shows that in the shift of COOR steric hindrance caused by R is negligible.

    Notes: The photolability of the antitumor antibiotic hedamycin (1) was investigated by irradiation in different solvents in the presence or in the absence of oxygen. The products formed were separated chromatographically and their structures determined by NMR spectroscopy. Photolysis of 1 in the presence of oxygen gave only one isolable product, photohedamycin A (3), where ring E of hedamycin had been transformed into an enol ether. The reaction in the absence of oxygen yielded the photohedamycins B, C, and D (5, 6, and 7, respectively). In these compounds, one of the epoxides of hedamycin had been opened reductively, and in photohedamycin D (7) the substituent at C(8) - originally ring E of hedamycin - was now acyclic. In addition to these compounds, the photolyses yielded a large number of unstable minor products, which could not be isolated.

    Notes: New procedures are described for the synthesis of α,β-ethylenic and acetylenic aldehydes from 2-butene- and 2-butyne-1,4-diol, respectively (see Scheme 1). These are applied to the preparation of a particular δ-acetylamino-α,β-ethylenic aldehyde ((E)-5) as well as of its acetylenic analogue 15. On heating in the presence of a silyl enol ether, the former undergoes a complete dehydrative cyclization affording the N-acetyl-1,2-dihydropyridine 19. The addition of HCl to aldehyde (E)-5 results in the production of the 4-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine 22 which is hydrolyzed to the corresponding alcohol 23 on silica gel. Similarly, the addition of HCl or HBr to the δ-acetyl-amino-α,β-acetylenic aldehyde 15 leads to the previously unknown 4-halo-1,2-dihydropyridines 26; these are easily hydrolyzed to the 2,3-dihydro-4(1H)-pyridinone 27. The ring-forming process involves a N-acyl N,O-hemiacetal as intermediate which is eventually dehydrated.

    Notes: The polar effects of substituents on reactivity in oxidation of 2-substituted anthracenes with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP)/Rh(PPh3)3Cl have been investigated and compared with those obtained with TBHP/VO(acac)2 and chromic acid. The anthracene reactivities obtained from competition experiments are correlated with Hammett's σp-constants. The P-values are -2.60 for chromic acid and 0.72 for TBHP/VO(acac)2. A poor correlation with p = -0.17 (r = 0.756) was obtained for TBHP/Rh (PPh3)3Cl. It is concluded that the Rh-catalyzed reaction does not consist in electrophilic oxygen transfer to the anthracene.

Cyclization of 9 to give the 1,4-diazepin-2,5,7-trione of type 10 was achieved with NaH in toluene at about 90°. It has been shown that 2-oxazolin-5-ones are intermediates in the selective cleavage of the therminal amide function of 6 (Scheme 3).

    Notes: Nature and Stability of Some Metallic Complexes of Dinucleating Cryptands in Solution. I. A Polyazapolyoxa Cylindrical Macrotricycle and its Monocyclic SubunitpH-metry and UV spectrophotometry were used to study the complexing properties of the cylindrical macrotricycle, 1,7,13,19-tetraaza-4,16-dioxa-10,22,27,32-tetraoxatricyclo[17.5.5.5]tetratriacontane (1) and of its constitutive monocyclic subunit, 1,7-diaza-4,10-dioxacyclododecane (2) with some transition and heavy metal cations (Cu2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, Ag+), in aqueous medium 0.1M Et4NClO4, at 25°. The protonation constants of the ligands as well as the nature and the stabilities of the complexes formed in the pH-regions studied were determined. The tricycle 1 only formed dinuclear M2L complexes with Cu2+, Zn2+, and Ag+, accompanied in the latter case by a protonated mononuclear MLH species, and with Cu2+ and Zn2+ at high pH-values by dinuclear hydroxo complexes. Only mononuclear complexes were evidenced with the other cations, ML being accompanied either by protonated or hydroxy mononuclear species. The mononuclear complexes of 1, when they existed, were more stable than the corresponding complexes of 2, except for cobalt which formed complexes of comparable stability with both ligands. In the other cases (Cd2+, Pb2+, Ag+), the stability differences between the complexes of 1 and 2 increased with the size of the cation.

    Notes: Water exchange on hexaaquavanadium (III) has been studied as a function of temperature (255 to 413 K) and pressure (up to 250 MPa, at several temperatures) by 17O-NMR spectroscopy at 8.13 and 27.11 MHz. The samples contained V3+ (0.30-1.53 m), H+ (0.19-2.25 m) and 17O-enriched (10-20%) H2O. The trifluoromethanesulfonate was used as counter-ion, and, contrary to the previously used chloride or bromide, CF3SO3- is shown to be non-coordinating. The following exchange parameters were obtained: kex298 = (5.0 ± 0.3) · 102 s-1, ΔH* = (49.4 ± 0.8) kJ mol-1, ΔS* = -(28 ± 2) JK-1 mol-1, ΔV* = -(8.9 ± 0.4) cm3 mol-1 and Δβ* = -(1.1 ± 0.3) · 10-2 cm3 mol-1 MPa-1. They are in accord with an associative interchange mechanism, Ia. These results for H2O exchange are discussed together with the available data for complex formation reactions on hexaaquavanadium(III). A semi-quantitative analysis of the bound H2O linewidth led to an estimation of the proportions of the different contributions to the relaxation mechanism in the coordinated site: the dipole-dipole interaction hardly contributes to the relaxation (less than 7%); the quadrupolar relaxation, and the scalar coupling mechanism are nearly equally efficient at low temperature (∼ 273 K), but the latter becomes more important at higher temperature (75-85% contribution at 360 K).

    Notes: Spontaneous Opening of the Pyrimidine Ring of Pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines after Intramolecular AcylationPhase-transfer alkylation of 4-methoxy-2-methylthio-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (2) with ethyl 3-bromopropionate leads regioselectively to the ester 3a. After displacement of its methylthio group and saponification of the ester function, the acid 3e is obtained which can be transferred to the functionalized deazahypoxanthine 3f by either treatment with dry HBr/glacial AcOH or by nucleophilic displacement of the 4-methoxide. Reaction of 3f with a H2O-soluble carbodiimide results in an intramolecular acylation at N(1) by the activated ester; the intermediate 4 undergoes spontaneous hydroxylation and subsequent opening of the pyrimidine ring under formation of the pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivative 6. Its structure was proved by X-ray analysis. Subsequent deformylation of 6 in alkaline medium leads to the compound 7 in almost quantitative yield.

    Notes: The transverse relaxation rate of H2O in Al(H2O)63+ has been measured as a function of temperature (255 to 417 K) and pressure (up to 220 MPa) using the 17O-NMR line-broadening technique, in the presence of Mn(II) as a relaxation agent. At high temperatures the relaxation rate is governed by chemical exchange with bulk H2O, whereas at low temperatures quadrupolar relaxation is prevailing. Low-temperature fast-injection 17O-NMR was used to extend the accessible kinetic domain. The samples studied contained Al3+ (0.5 m), Mn2+ (0.2-0.5 m), H+ (0.2-3.1 m) and 17O-enriched (20-40%) H2O. Non-coordinating perchlorate was used as counter ion. The following H2O exchange parameters were obtained: kex298 = (1.29 ± 0.04) s-1, ΔH* = (84.7 ± 0.3) kJ mol-1, ΔS* = +(41.6 ± 0.9) J K-1 mol-1, and ΔVex* = +(5.7 ± 0.2) cm3 mol-1, indicating a dissociative interchange, Id, mechanism. These results of H2O exchange on Al(H2O)63+ are discussed together with the available complex-formation rate data and permit also the assignment of Id mechanisms to these latter reactions.

Solid-state X-ray diffraction of O-acetylated colchinoids and thio analogs, showed out of planar arrangements of the aromatic substituents, but the analysis could not help to explain the structures of the newly formed isomers in CHCl3 solution.

    Notes: Phase-transfer glycosylation of 4-methoxy-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine with the 2-deoxyribofuranosyl chloride 9 formed the N(1)-β-nucleoside 10a as main product (39%). As by-products the α-D-anomer 11a (7%) and the N(2)-isomer 12a (18%) were isolated. Assignment of these isomers was made on the basis of their 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra. Removal of the sugar-protecting groups yielded the 4-methoxy-nucleosides 10b, 11b, and 12b, respectively. Nucleophilic displacement of the 4-MeO-group gave the 2-deoxyribofuranosides 1-4 of allopurinol and 4-amino-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine.

    Notes: Liquid crystals with negative Δ∊ can be obtained by incorporating a cyano group in the terminal alkyl substituent or in an ethylene bridge between the cyclic units of the rigid core. The clearing points of such compounds are higher than those of the corresponding derivatives where the cyano group is laterally attached to a phenyl moiety. In compounds where both cyclic units of the rigid core are cyclohexyl, this type of substitution leads to an optimal contribution to ∊⊥ in contrast to the cyanophenyl derivatives.

    Notes: The glycopentapeptide H-(GlcNAcβ1-)Asn-Glu-Thr-Ile-Val-OH (10) representing the partial sequence A80-A84 of human fibroblast interferon was synthesized using the newly developed allyl-ester protection of carboxy functions. The allyl esters, which are stable to acids and to bases, can be cleaved under very mild, neutral conditions using tris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I) chloride or tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) as a catalyst. This synthetic method opens up a preparative route to glycopeptide model structures of glycoproteins of high biological interest.

    Notes: The rate constants (log k) for the solvolysis of 4e-substituted 2e- and 2a-adamantyl p-nitrobenzenesulfonates 14 and 15, respectively, in 80% EtOH correlate linearly with the respective inductive substituent constants σIq. Therefore, relative rates are controlled by the I effect of the substituents at C(4). The derived reaction constants, or inductivities, ρI of -0.80 and -0.64 for the series 14 and 15, respectively, are far smaller than those previously determined for 6-substituted 2-norbornyl and 2-bicyclo[2.2.2]octyl sulfonates, in which the partial structure containing the substituent and the leaving group is the same. The ratio of the retained and inverted adamantanols obtained upon hydrolysis of the series 14 falls from 2.85 for R = CH3 to ca. 1 for R = CN, i.e. as the substituent at C(4) becomes more electron-attracting. In the 2a-series 15 this ratio is uniformly higher. These findings confirm that the 2-adamantyl cation is weakly bridged and that through-space induction in carbocations involves graded bridging of the cationic center by neighboring C-atoms.

    Notes: The all-light-atom X-ray crystal-structure analysis of cyclosporin A (1), a cyclic undecapeptide containing seven N-methylated amino acids, reveals a conformation very similar to that of the previously analysed iodo derivative which is characterised by a twisted β-pleated sheet involving the residues Me-Val-11, MeBmt-1, Abu-2, Sar-3, MeLeu-4, Val-5, MeLeu-6, and Ala-7. The β-bend at Sar-MeLeu-4 is of type II′, and the loop of the residual amino acids involves a cis-peptide bond between MeLeu-9 and MeLeu-10. The NH proton of D-Ala-8 closes a yi-bend with a H-bond to the MeLeu-6 CO group. The crystal was grown from acetone. A closely similar backbone conformation in apolar solvents such as CDCl3 or C6D6 has been derived from the interpretation of the NMR spectral parameters (homo- and heteronuclear NOE effects, coupling constants, chemical-shift values of the C-, H-, and N-atoms). A minor variation in the backbone conformation between crystal and solution is observed in the region of D-Ala-8, where in solution a 3-center H-bond is established between the NH of D-Ala-8 und the carbonyl O-atoms of both MeLeu-6 (yi-turn) and D-Ala-8 (C5-bend). A recently proposed technique to identify intramolecular H-bond via heteronuclear NOE from NH proton to carbonyl C-atoms is critically analysed. The main difference between crystal and solution conformations lies in the orientation of the side chains of the unusual amino acid MeBmt (χ1 = +60° in solution, -168° in the crystal) and of MeLeu-10 (X1 = -60° in solution, +60° in the crystal). The differences in crystal and solution are caused by the break of the intermolecular H-bond of the OH group of MeBmt on dissolution of the crystal. The bifurcated H-bond of D-Ala-8 twists the backbone in this region. Molecular modeling demonstrates that this is the origin of the change in the side chain conformation of MeLeu-10. The intramolecular flexibility in the crystal indicated by the thermal parameters obtained from the X-ray refinement, and in solution by an analysis of spin-lattice relaxation times in the NMR experiments, indicate a fairly rigid backbone and fixed conformations for all the side chains except for that of Abu-2 and the distal atoms of MeBmt.

    Notes: Photochemical Syntheses of 3-Oxazolines which Possibly Exhibit Hypoglycemic ActivityReactions of photochemically generated benzonitrile methylides 2 with carbonyl compounds 3 yielded 3-oxazolines of the types 5 and 6 (Scheme 1). Photooxidation of 5-[p-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-2,2-dimethyl-4-phenyl-3-oxazoline (5a) gave 4′-(2,2-dimethyl-4-phenyl-3-oxazolin-5-yl)-N-methylformanilide (6r) which could be transformed to 2,2-dimethyl-5-[p-(methylamino)phenyl]-4-phenyl-3-oxazoline (6s) by photodecarbonylation. Thirty 3-oxazolines of types 5 and 6 have been synthesized and tested by oral and/or intraperitoneal administration to starved rats and obese-hyperglycemic mice.

    Notes: Photochemical and Chemical Syntheses of Biologically Active 3-OxazolinesUsing the photoreaction of 2H-azirines with carbonyl compounds, the 2,2-dimethyl-3-oxazolines 5a, 5b, and 6a have been obtained which bear a mono- or dichlorophenyl substituent at C(4) of the five-membered heterocycle and pyridyl at C(5). These compounds exhibit interesting activities against phytopathogenic fungi. Because 6a had been selected for field testing, its photochemical preparation was supplemented by a chemical synthesis. However, the overall performance of 6a in the field was inferior to some of the recently introduced agricultural fungicides of the ergosterol biosynthesis inhibitor type. Although 16 additional 3-oxazolines with varied substituents have been prepared, the fungicidal activity found with 6a could not be improved.

    Notes: Synthesis and Reactions of 5-[p-(Dimethylamino)phenyl]-2,2-dimethyl-4-phenyl-3-oxazolineThe title compound 8 has been synthesized in a one-pot reaction of 4′-(dimethylamino)benzoin (4) with 2-propanone and NH3. The preparation of the intermediate 4 from 3 is the first example of an acid-catalyzed transformation of the stable benzoin 3 into the corresponding less stable benzoin 4. Structures and yields of various by-products occurring under different reaction conditions during the synthesis of 8 from 4 are given. The O-atom of the 3-oxazoline ring in 8 could be replaced by S from P2S5 yielding the 3-thiazoline 14. Separation of the enantiomers of the racemate 8 could only be performed by transforming them into the trimethylanilinium salts 8b and 8c of (-)- and (+)-10-camphorsulfonic acid, respectively. Solid NaOAc in boiling toluene caused the precipitation of the 10-camphorsulfonic acids from the quaternary ammonium salts as sodium salts and the removing of the third methyl group from the quaternary ammonium salts as AcOMe to give the enantiomers (-)-(5S)-8 and (+)-(5R)-8. Their absolute configurations are deduced from an X-ray analysis of 8b.

    Notes: Synthesis of Substituted CyclononatetraenesIn the course of an exploration of possible synthetic pathways to nonafulvenes, a series of 1-substituted cyclononatetraenes (CNT) 4b-1 have been prepared in yields of about 60%. Their structures follow from spectroscopic data as well as from the quantitative valence isomerisation to 1-endo-substituted cis-3a, 7a-dihydroindenes 8. Both all-cis-CNT- 1 and cis,cis,cis,trans-CNT- 2 have been used as nucleophiles. Whereas 2 is normally more nucleophilic than 1, the yield of cyclononatetraenes 4 prepared with 2 may be reduced due to by-products such as 9 and 10.

    Notes: The 1H-, 13C-, and 15N-NMR spectra of the immunosuppressive cyclic undecapeptide cyclosporin A (1) have been analyzed at 300 MHz in CDCl3, C6D6, and mixtures of these solvents. A combination of different homo- and heteronuclear two-dimensional NMR techniques enable complete assignment of all H-, C- and 4 N-signals. Recognition of the proton spin systems has been achieved via 1H,1H-COSY and double-quantum-1H-NMR spectroscopy. NOESY spectra yield some sequence assignments, but two techniques using coupling across amide bonds have been applied to get independent assignments of all amino acids in the sequence: (i) An 1H,1H-COSY spectrum optimized for small coupling constants enables the detection of long-range couplings from N-methyl groups to both α-protons attached to that amide bond. (ii) An 1H, 13C-COSY spectrum optimized for C,H-long-range couplings (J = 5 to 10 Hz) to the eleven CO groups again yields coupling to both α-protons attached to that amide bond. Additionally these two experiments yield the assignment of N-methyl protons and carbonyl C-atoms. Normal and relayed 1H,13C-COSY in both solvents have been applied to assign all C-atoms via their directly attached and remote protons. An 1H,13C-COLOC spectrum at 500 MHz in CDCl3, which uses H,C-long-range couplings confirms the assignment of all proton spin systems as well as the C-signals of each individual amino acid. Ambiguities in the assignment of the C(δ)'s of MeLeu have thus been removed. An 1H,15N-COSY spectrum enables the assignment of the 4 NH N-atoms.

    Notes: The synthesis and photolyses of the epoxydiene (E)-5 are described. On triplet excitation (λ 〉 280 nm, acetone), (E)-5 undergoes initial cleavage of the C(5)—O bond leading to the intermediate c. Presumably an H-shift (c → e) followed by the fragmentation of the 1,4-diradical e leads (via the enol 37) to the diketones (E)-6 and (Z)-12. Alternatively cleavage of the C(6)—C(7) bond of c furnishes the diradical intermediate d which reacts by recombination leading to (E)-13A + B, 16, and 17A + B, or by an H-shift to the enol intermediate 38. The latter undergoes an aldol-type reaction to (E/Z)-14A + B and (E/Z)-15A + B, as well as a photochemical [2 + 2]-cycloaddition to 18. On singlet excitation (λ = 254 nm, MeCN), (E)-5 undergoes photocleavage to the carbene intermediates f and g. The vinyl carbene f reacts with the adjacent double bond furnishing the cyclopropene 22 as the main product. From the carbene intermediate g, compounds 23, 24, and 25 arise by carbene insertion into the neighboring C—C or C—H bond. Furthermore, the diastereomer of the starting material, the epoxydiene (E)-20, is formed via the ylide intermediate h.

    Notes: The molecular structure of pyroergotamine has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis to be the pyruvoyldiketopiperazine 1. The diketopiperazine ring exists in a folded or boat conformation, with a dihedral angle of 40° between the two almost planar peptide units. The R-group of the phenylalanine residue occupies a quasi-axial position of the diketopiperazine ring, while that of the proline residue is in a quasi-equatorial position. Puzzling spectroscopic and chemical properties of the compound can be rationalised in terms of crowding within the molecule.

    Notes: Electronic properties of dopamine were studied by the ab initio STO-3G MO method. The molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) around the aromatic ring and the catechol group remains practically the same in 3,4-dihydroxytoluene (a model compound) and in neutral dopamine examined in its two extended conformations, namely that found in the crystal (side-chain and aromatic ring almost perpendicular) and the one corresponding to 2-amino-6,7-dihydroxytetralin (6,7-ADTN) (side-chain and aromatic ring almost coplanar). In protonated dopamine and in dopamine hydrochloride, the electrostatic potential of the catechol moiety is overshadowed by the positive charge, but the main features remain discernible. The catechol moiety was examined in its two coplanar conformations containing a ‘flip-flop H-bond’. The electrostatic potential around the catechol moiety is quite complex, with alternating positive and negative maxima. At increasing distances above and away from the catechol moiety, only two peripheral maxima, one negative and one positive, remain perceptible. The ‘flip-flop’ mechanism results in an approximate interchange of these two potential maxima, a fact which tends to level out the structural differences between the α- and β-rotamer of dopamine. Based on these results and on the structure of rigid agonists, some pharmacophoric features of dopamine agonists are proposed.
