Studies on the use of a novel affinity matrix, sepharose amine-succinyl-amine haloperidol hemisuccinate, ASA-HHS, for purification of canine dopamine (D2) receptor.

Haloperidol Hemisuccinate (HHS) was synthesized specifically as a ligand for an affinity chromatography matrix. The affinity chromatography matrix, ASA-HHS was developed which had high affinity and capacity for dopamine D2 receptors in solubilized canine striatal preparations. ASA-HHS also demonstrated nonspecific interaction with the D2 receptor. Two fractions, which bound 3H-spiroperidol specifically, with similar one dimensional SDS-PAGE patterns could be eluted successfully with 20 microM haloperidol in only 30% of the runs. Both fractions represented 300-400 fold purification. Two dimensional IEF-PAGE analysis of one of the fractions demonstrated coelution of beta and gamma actin, alpha and beta tubulin with the 3H-spiroperidol binding sites. The pattern of the proteins eluted from ASA-HHS and the inconsistent recovery of active D2 receptors are discussed.

Studies on the mutagenic activation of heterocyclic amines by cynomolgus monkey, rat and human microsomes show that cynomolgus monkeys have a low capacity to N-oxidize the quinoxaline-type heterocyclic amines.

A number of mutagens and carcinogens have been isolated from cooked meats. In the current study we investigated the ability of hepatic microsomes from cynomolgus monkeys, Fischer-344 rats and humans to metabolically activate these compounds. Monkeys had almost no capacity to activate the quinoxaline-type compounds to mutagens in the Ames test relative to rats and humans but were able to activate the quinoline, pyridoindole and pyridoimidazole compounds. Differences in the mutagenicity of the quinoline and quinoxaline compounds by monkeys and rats was related to differences in cytochrome P-450-mediated N-oxidation between the species. This suggests that monkeys and rats may have different hepatic cytochrome P-450 isozymes, which are important for the metabolic activation of quinolines and quinoxalines, or that the orthologous monkey cytochromes show a select substrate specificity for the quinolines over the quinoxalines.

Biogenic amine uptake by nerve cords from the American cockroach and the influence of amidines on amine uptake and release.

Uptake of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) by isolated whole nerve cords of the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana (L.), involved a dual component system, with one component consisting of rapid active uptake and the other of passive diffusion. Using high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection, it was shown that nerve cords contained 5-HT levels of about 350 ng/g and an equivalent amount of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), a 5-HT metabolite not previously reported in cockroach nerve cords. Amidines had no discernable effect on uptake of 5-HT or octopamine by nerve cords or on endogenous levels of 5-HT and 5-HIAA in cords.

Inhibition of murine N1-acetylated polyamine oxidase by an acetylenic amine and the allenic amine, MDL 72527.

Murine N(1)-acetylated polyamine oxidase (mPAO) was treated with N,N'-bis-(prop-2-ynyl)-1,4-diaminobutane, a poor substrate and inhibitor for the enzyme, with K(m) and K(i) values in the millimolar range. Apparently, its oxidation produces prop-2-ynal, which reacts with amino acyl nucleophiles. Using a steady-state kinetic assay, four phases were identified, the first being the oxidation of the compound via Michealis-Menten-type kinetics. As prop-2-ynal accumulates, there is a biphasic reduction in the rate. This process leads to an mPAO form that is nearly inactive (fourth phase), but displays classical Michealis-Menten-type kinetics. The enzyme-bound flavin is not modified in this process. In contrast, micromolar concentrations of the MDL 72527 (N,N'-bis-[buta-2,3-dienyl]-1,4-diaminobutane) inhibited mPAO rapidly and completely. It inhibits by first binding tightly and apparently irreversibly, and then slowly converts to a species where the inhibitor is covalently bound to the N5-position of the flavin's isoalloxazine ring. The covalent adduct was identified as a flavocyanine.

Clinical and experimental aspects of interactions between amine oxidase inhibitors and amine re-uptake inhibitors.

Dangerous and even fatal interactions can occur in man following combinations of antidepressants which include non-selective MAO inhibitors. To ascertain the causation, interactions reproducing the clinical phenomena have been elicited in animals with these combinations, and the mechanisms involved have been explored by various pharmacological strategies; 5-HT re-uptake inhibitors proved especially hazardous in combination. Interactions could, however, be avoided even with the 5-HT re-uptake inhibitors, by combination with relatively selective MAO A or B inhibitors, an approach with potential clinical value.

Ligand effects on platinum binding to DNA. A comparison of DNA binding properties for cis- and trans-[PtCl2(amine)2] (amine = NH3, pyridine).

The DNA binding properties of cis- and trans-[PtCl2(pyridine)2] have been examined and compared with their NH3 analogs, cis- and trans-DDP. The presence of a planar ligand reduces the rates of DNA binding but does not greatly affect the overall conformation of CT DNA, as measured by circular dichroism spectroscopy. The sequence specificity of trans-[PtCl2(py)2] includes alternating purine-pyrimidine sequences. The sequence specificity is further different between the two pyridine isomers, and the steric effects of two cis-pyridine groups are demonstrated by the appearance of relatively few binding sites in the 49-bp duplex. The effects of the pyridine ligand are further manifested by a greatly enhanced DNA-DNA interstrand cross-linking efficiency for the trans isomer, with a cross-link per adduct frequency of between 0.14 and 0.23, depending on the rb of the sample. The unwinding of closed circular pUC19 DNA by trans-[PtCl2(pyridine)2] is also more efficient than that by either DDP isomer, with an unwinding angle calculated at phi = 17 degrees (compare cis-DDP with phi = 13 degrees and trans-DDP with phi = 9-10 degrees). In contrast, little unwinding is induced by cis-[PtCl2(pyridine)2], with phi = 4 degrees. These results in particular invert the standard cis/trans structure-activity relationships observed previously for [PtCl2(NH3)2]. The results are discussed with respect to the previously demonstrated effect of activation of the trans-platinum geometry using sterically hindered ligands.

Synthesis and evaluation of conformationally restricted N-[2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)ethyl]-N-methyl-2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)ethylamines at sigma receptors. 2. Piperazines, bicyclic amines, bridged bicyclic amines, and miscellaneous compounds.

As a continuation of our earlier study (J. Med. Chem. 1992, 35, 4334-4343) we conformationally restricted the sigma-receptor ligand 2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-N-[2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)ethyl]-N-methylethylamine (1) by incorporating it into a series of homologous piperazines 3-9 and homopiperazines 10 and 11, diazabicyclononanes and decanes, bridgehead bicyclooctanes and nonanes as well as other miscellaneous compounds. sigma-Receptor binding affinities were obtained using [3H](+)-pentazocine in guinea pig brain membrane sigma 1 sites. The studies suggest that the nitrogen lone pair orientation found in the piperazines affords the strongest binding interaction. Other nitrogen lone pair orientations or compounds representing unlikely staggered conformations of 1 [ as in 4-[2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)ethyl]-1,4-diazabicyclo[3.2.2]nonane (16)] show very weak sigma interaction. Comparison of the binding data of different N-substituted homologues of 1 with those of the 1-[2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)ethyl]-4-alkylpiperazines suggests that the two nitrogen atoms of 1 are working in opposition to one another in terms of their sensitivity to steric bulk. The high binding affinity of the 1,4-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]nonanes 12 suggests that these may approximate the methyl and pyrrolidine ring conformations found in 1 when it is bound to the sigma receptor. Compound 12 exhibited a 4-fold enantioselectivity favoring (+)-12. The synthesis of 6,7-dichloro-2-[[2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)ethyl]amino]tetralin (19) and its desmethyl derivative 20 permitted constraint of the 3,4-dichlorophenyl and N-methyl moieties of 1 into a gauche orientation. The binding data suggests that this conformation in 1 favors strong binding interaction at sigma-receptors. sigma-Receptor Ki's ranged from 0.55 nM for 1-[2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)ethyl]-4-n-butylpiperazine (7) to 654 nM for 16. Overall comparison of the results indicate that 1 is subject to considerable conformational freedom and suggests that the sigma receptor is not subject to rigid stereochemical restraints with 1. These results add to our earlier study where we restrained 1 using simple monocyclic heterocycles.

trans-Cyano(6-methyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecan-6-amine)cobalt(III) bis(perchlorate) hydrate and trans-hydroxo(6-methyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecan-6-amine)cobalt(III) bis(perchlorate).

The crystal structures of a pair of closely related macrocyclic cyano- and hydroxopentaaminecobalt(III) complexes, as their perchlorate salts, are reported. Although the two complexes, [Co(CN)(C(11)H(27)N(5))](ClO(4))(2).H(2)O and [Co(OH)(C(11)H(27)N(5))](ClO(4))(2), exhibit similar conformations, significant differences in the Co-N bond lengths arise from the influence of the sixth ligand (cyano as opposed to hydroxo). The ensuing hydrogen-bonding patterns are also distinctly different. Disorder in the perchlorate anions was clearly resolved and this was rationalized on the basis of distinct hydrogen-bonding motifs involving the anion O atoms and the N-H and O-H donors.

{Bis(3,5-Di-tert-butyl-2-oxidobenzyl)[2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl]amine-kappa(4)N,N',O,O'}zinc(II) and {bis(3-tert-butyl-5-methyl-2-oxidobenzyl)[2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl]amine-kappa(4)N,N',O,O'}(tetrahdyrofuran)zinc(II).

The title zinc(II) complexes, [Zn(C(34)H(54)N(2)O(2))], (II), and [Zn(C(28)H(42)N(2)O(2))(C(4)H(8)O)], (III), were obtained as monomeric 1:1 complexes, in contrast with the calcium complexes supported by the same ligand class. Complex (II) crystallizes with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, which have similar geometric parameters. The donor atoms in (II) form a distorted trigonal-pyramidal arrangement around the zinc centre. Complex (III) contains a coordinated tetrahydrofuran molecule, resulting in a five-coordinate trigonal-bipyramidal arrangement around the Zn atom. The electron density provided by the coordination of this tetrahydrofuran molecule elongates the Zn-O and Zn-N bonds by approximately 0.07 and 0.10 A, respectively, in comparison with (II). Neither (II) nor (III) is active as an epsilon-caprolactone polymerization catalyst. The data presented here demonstrate that Zn may bind both an ONNO ligand and an additional oxygen-based ligand. The lack of activity is thus not due to steric hinderance at the metal atom.
