Biologically active Mannich bases derived from nitroxoline.

Abstract

A series of compounds with various basic side chains were derived from 5-nitro-8-hydroxyquinoline (nitroxoline). Aminomethylation of nitroxoline led exclusively to the formation of o-substituted phenolic Mannich bases. Depending on the kind of the primary or secondary amine participating in the Mannich reaction differently substituted compounds were prepared in order to study the influence of the basic side chain on their biological activity. The compound with N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino group exhibited the highest mitodepressant activity determined in a phyto test on Lepidium sativum L. Preliminary test for antibacterial and antifungal activities using standard test microorganisms indicate rather strong antimicrobial properties of several synthesized compounds.

Optimization of the methods for introduction of amine groups onto the silica nanoparticle surface.

The luminescent silica nanoparticle has attracted the researchers' concentration in bioanalysis recently. Its extensive application is based on the immobilization of various biomolecules such as deoxyribonucleic acid, antibody, and so forth onto the surface. By comparing different introduction methods of amine groups, it was confirmed that the "two-step" route is more preferable by adding tetraethyl orthosilicate and 3-aminopropyl-(triethoxyl)silane in sequence, to attain ideal amine-modified silica nanoparticles. On this basis, carboxyl groups were derived from amine groups on the nanoparticle surface and then were activated by 1-ethyl-3-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride and N-hydroxy-succinimide. Finally, mouse monoclonal antihuman CD71 antibody (McAb CD71) and transferrin were effectively linked with the carboxyl groups and successfully labeled the receptors in the membrane of fibroblast cells, respectively.

Reactivity of indanedioneketene dimer with amines.

The highly reactive indanedioneketene 5, resulting from the thermal decomposition of phenyliodonium ylide of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (lawsone, 4), in the absence of nucleophiles dimerizes to the corresponding tetraoxo spiro oxetanone 6 in quantitative yield. This oxetanone exhibits an interesting reactivity toward amines.

Amine-promoted, organocatalytic aziridination of enones.

A novel method is presented using N-N ylides (prepared by in situ amination of a tertiary amine) for the aziridination of a range of enone systems. The amine may be used sub-stoichiometrically, and promising levels of enantioselectivity are observed with quinine as promoter. [reaction: see text].
