Rhodium-catalyzed anti-Markovnikov hydroamination of vinylarenes.

The transition metal-catalyzed anti-Markovnikov hydroamination of unactivated vinylarenes with a rhodium complex of DPEphos is reported. The reaction of electron-neutral or electron-rich vinylarenes with a variety of secondary amines in the presence of catalyst forms the products from anti-Markovnikov hydroamination in high yields. Reactions of morpholine, N-phenylpiperazine, N-Boc-piperazine, piperidine, 2,5-dimethylmorpholine, and perhydroisoquinoline reacted with styrene to form the amine product in 51-71% yield. Reactions of a variety of vinylarenes with morpholine generated amine as the major product. Reactions of morpholine with electron-poor vinylarenes gave lower amine:enamine ratios than reactions of electron-rich vinylarenes at the same concentration of vinylarene, but conditions were developed with lower concentrations of electron-poor vinylarene to maintain formation of the amine as the major product. Reactions of dimethylamine with vinylarenes were fast and formed amine as the major product. Mechanistic studies on the hydroamination process showed that the amine:enamine ratio was lower for reactions conducted with higher concentrations of vinylarene and that one vinylarene influences the selectivity for reaction of another. A mechanism proceeding through a metallacyclic intermediate that opens in the presence of a second vinylarene accounts for these and other mechanistic observations.

Comparative degradation of [14C]-2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid in wheat and potato after Foliar application and in wheat, radish, lettuce, and apple after soil application.

The fate of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) applied foliarly as the 2-ethylhexyl ester (EHE) to wheat and potatoes, to the soil as the dimethylamine (DMA) salt under apple tree canopies, and preplant as the free acid for wheat, lettuce, and radish was studied to evaluate metabolic pathways. Crop fractions analyzed for (14)C residues included wheat forage, straw, and grain; potato vine and tubers; and apple fruit. The primary metabolic pathway for foliar application in wheat is ester hydrolysis followed by the formation of base-labile 2,4-D conjugates. A less significant pathway for 2,4-D in wheat was ring hydroxylation to give NIH-shift products 2,5-dichloro-4-hydroxyphenoxyacetic acid (4-OH-2,5-D), 4-OH-2,3-D, and 5-OH-2,4-D both free and as acid-labile conjugates. The primary metabolic pathway in potato was again ester hydrolysis. 2,4-D acid was further transformed to 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid and 4-OH-2,5-D. For the soil applications, (14)C residues in the crops were low, and characterization of the (14)C residues indicated association with or incorporation into the biochemical matrix of the tissue. The degradative pathways observed in wheat are similar to those characterized in other intact plant studies but differ from those in studies in wheat cell suspension culture in that no amino acid conjugates were observed.

NMR-based metabonomic studies on the biochemical effects of epicatechin in the rat.

Flavonoid consumption via tea drinking has been attributed a number of potential health benefits including cancer prevention, anti-inflammatory action, and cardioprotectant activity. Although the predominant flavonoids in fresh leaf and green tea are known to be flavan-3-ols and flavan-3-O-gallates ("the catechins"), the biochemical effects of tea polyphenol consumption on living systems are generally poorly understood. Metabonomic methods utilizing (1)H NMR spectroscopy of biofluids and principal component analysis (PCA) have been applied to investigate the bioavailability and metabolic responses of rats to a single dose of 22 mg of epicatechin (EC) dissolved in water. Urine samples were collected twice daily (0-8 and 8-24 h) from male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 10) prior to dosing and for 2 days after dosing. A series of subtle urinary biochemical effects were evident from the (1)H NMR spectra showing that EC was both bioavailable and biochemically active. The identifiable biochemical effects associated with EC dosing included decreased urinary concentrations of taurine, citrate, dimethylamine, and 2-oxoglutarate. These effects were predominately seen within the first 8 h after dosing. EC metabolites were also observed in the urine during this time period. PCA of later time points after dosing (24-32 and 32-48 h) showed that the effects of EC were reversible. This is the first in vivo study demonstrating the overall endogenous metabolic effects of EC consumption and shows the bioavailability of EC via metabolic effects and excretion of EC metabolites.

Changes in amine concentrations during aging of red wine in oak barrels.

This investigation studied the evolution of amines in red wines made with Merlot variety, during aging in American oak barrels (Quercus alba) and in French oak barrels (Quercus sessilis) from the Allier and Nevers regions. From the results obtained it was observed that the evolutions of the amines were similar in all three types of oak woods. Histamine and tyramine were produced at the beginning of the aging process, although they were not accumulated in the wines, probably due to their degradation. Putrescine was the most abundant amine in the wines; its concentration increased to an important extent during aging as it did not undergo degradation. The concentration of cadaverine increased slightly at the first stage of aging and, like putrescine, did not degrade at all. The volatile amines showed slight variations during aging, although in no cases were high accumulations observed in the wines. Dimethylamine and isobutylamine were degraded during storage in the barrels.

Bioactive compounds in cod (Gadus morhua) products and suitability of 1H NMR metabolite profiling for classification of the products using multivariate data analyses.

This work investigates the suitability of (1)H NMR spectroscopy to identify the fate of some bioactive compounds in seafood submitted to several processing conditions and examines the possibility of using (1)H NMR spectroscopy profiling to classify such products. Perchloric acid extracts of cod white muscle from newly killed and (i) unprocessed, (ii) boiled, and (iii) fried fillets and from (iv) frozen fillets, (v) the frozen fillets after thawing, and (vi) their drip loss and from (vii) rehydrated cod klippfish (n = 5) were analyzed by 500 MHz (1)H NMR spectroscopy. It was possible to identify taurine, betaine, anserine, creatine, and trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) in all extracts examined, and frozen fish was recognizable by the presence of dimethylamine (DMA). None of the heating procedures seemed to induce the loss of bioactive compounds from the fillet, but freezing and thawing did: the compounds were lost in what is known as drip loss. About 80% of the samples were correctly classified using a probabilistic neural network procedure having as inputs the scores of the first 20 principal components of the principal component analysis of a selected region of the NMR spectra.

Purification and characterization of trimethylamine-N-oxide demethylase from jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas).

Trimethylamine-N-oxide demethylase (TMAOase) was purified from Jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) and characterized in detail herein. The TMAOase was extracted from squid with 20 mM Tris-acetate buffer (pH 7.0) containing 1.0 M NaCl, followed by acid treatment and heat treatment. Then it was purified by deithylaminoethyl-cellulose and Sephacryl S-300 chromatography, subsequently resulting in an 839-fold purification. The molecular mass of the TMAOase was defined to be 17.5 kDa. The optimum pH of the purified TMAOase was 7.0, and its optimum temperature was confirmed to be 55 degrees C. The TMAOase was stable to heat treatment up to 50 degrees C and stable at pH 7.0-9.0. Reducing agents such as DTT, Na2SO3, and NADH were effective at activating TMAOase, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, as well as Mg2+ and Ca2+, could also enhance the activity of TMAOase remarkably, whereas the TMAOase could be significantly inhibited by tea polyphenol, phytic acid and acetic acid. In addition, the TMAOase converted TMAO to dimethylamine and formaldehyde stoichiometrically with a K(m) of 26.2 mM.

Inhibitory effects of citrus essential oils and their components on the formation of N-nitrosodimethylamine.

Twenty-eight kinds of citrus essential oils and their components were studied for inhibitory effects on the formation of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). The reaction mixture consisted of dimethylamine and sodium nitrite adjusted at pH 3.6, in addition to essential oils and an emulsifying agent. The quantification was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography monitored at 220 nm. All of the essential oils inhibited the formation of NDMA in the range of 20-85%. The oils of ujukitsu (Citrus ujukitsu Hort. ex Shirai), yuzu (C. junos Tanaka), mochiyu (C. inflata Hort. ex Tanaka), and ponkan (C. reticulata Blanco cv. F-2426) inhibited the formation of NDMA much more effectively than other citrus oils. The inhibitory proportions of components of citrus essential oils such as myrcene, alpha-terpinene, and terpinolene were as high as 80%.

Cholinergic activity of acetylenic imidazoles and related compounds.

A series of acetylenic imidazoles related to oxotremorine (1a) were prepared and evaluated as cholinergic agents with in vitro binding assays and in vivo pharmacological tests in mice. 1-[4-(1H-Imidazol-1-yl)-2-butynyl]-2-pyrrolidinone (1b) was a cholinergic agonist with one-half the potency of oxotremorine. Analogues of 1b with a 5- or 2-methyl substituent in the imidazole ring (compounds 1c and 1g) were cholinergic partial agonists. Analogues of 1b with a methyl substituent at the 5-position in the pyrrolidinone ring (7b) or at the alpha-position in the acetylenic chain (8b) were antagonists. Various analogues of these imidazole acetylenes where the pyrrolidinone ring was replaced by an amide, carbamate, or urea residue were prepared. Several compounds which contained 5-methylimidazole as the amine substituent were partial agonists. The activities of the imidazole compounds are compared with those of the related pyrrolidine and dimethylamine analogues. Agonist and antagonist conformations for these compounds at muscarinic receptors are proposed.

Synthesis and antiviral activity of certain 4- and 4,5-disubstituted 7-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines.

In vitro evaluation of a series of previously prepared tubercidin analogues revealed that certain 5-halogen-substituted analogues were active against human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) at concentrations lower than those that produced comparable cytotoxicity in uninfected cells. In contrast, tubercidin was cytotoxic at all antiviral concentrations. Even though the antiviral selectivity of the 5-substituted compounds was slight, this observation led us to prepare a series of acyclic analogues. Treatment of the sodium salt of 4-chloropyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (2) with (2-acetoxyethoxy)methyl bromide (2a) provided the acyclic nucleoside 4-chloro-7-[(2-acetoxyethoxy)methyl]pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (3). A nucleophilic displacement of the 4-chloro group with methoxide, methylamine, and dimethylamine yielded the corresponding 4-substituted compounds 4, 5, and 6, respectively, in good yield. Electrophilic substitution (chlorination, bromination, and iodination) was effected at the C-5 position of compound 3 with N-chlorosuccinimide, N-bromosuccinimide, and iodine monochloride, respectively, in methylene chloride. Removal of the acetyl group from these intermediates (7a-9a) with methanolic ammonia at room temperature afforded the 5-chloro (7b), 5-bromo (8b), and 5-iodo (9b) derivatives of 4-chloro-7-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine. Treatment of compounds 7b-9b with methanolic ammonia at an elevated temperature produced the corresponding 5-halotubercidin analogues 10, 11, and 12, respectively. An alternate procedure for the preparation of these 4,5-disubstituted 7-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines involved an electrophilic substitution prior to the condensation of the heterocycle with 2a. Treatment of 2 with N-chlorosuccinimide and N-bromosuccinimide gave compounds 13a and 13b, respectively. The condensation of 13a and 13b with 2a and subsequent treatment with methylamine and ethylamine furnished the corresponding 5-halo-4-substituted-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines 14a, 14b, 14c, and 14d, respectively. Evaluation of the target compounds (4-6, 7b-9b, 10-12, and 14a-14d) for cytotoxicity and activity against HCMV and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) revealed that all compounds except the 5-halogen-substituted compounds 10, 11, and 12 were inactive. Compounds 10, 11, and 12 were active against both viruses at noncytotoxic concentrations. The activity of compound 11 was particularly noteworthy, being at least 10-fold more potent than acyclovir.

Synthesis and antirhinovirus activity of 6-(dimethylamino)-2-(trifluoromethyl)-9-(substituted benzyl)-9H-purines.

A series of 6-(dimethylamino)-2-(trifluoromethyl)-9-(substituted benzyl)purines was synthesized and tested for antirhinovirus activity. Most of the compounds were synthesized by alkylation of 6-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)-9H-purine with the appropriate benzyl halide followed by displacement of the chloro group with dimethylamine. Alternatively, 6-(dimethylamino)-2-(trifluoromethyl)purine was alkylated with the appropriate benzyl halide. Although several different aryl substituents provided compounds with IC50's = 0.03 microM against rhinovirus serotype 1B, no congener was significantly more active than the parent 2. Twenty-three compounds were tested against 18 other serotypes, but none exhibited a uniform profile of activity.

Synthesis and antitumor activity of halogen-substituted 4-(3,3-dimethyl-1-triazeno)quinolines.

Halogenated 4-(3,3-dimethyl-1-triazeno)quinolines were synthesized as potential antitumor agents on the basis of the biochemical pharmacological properties of existing triazenes, their structural-activity relationships, and the high melanin binding of chloroquine and iodoquine in vivo and in vitro. They were synthesized by diazotization of appropriate halogen-substituted 4-aminoquinolines in fluoboric acid at -5 degrees C followed by coupling with dimethylamine. Among these new compounds, 8-chloro-4-(3,3-dimethyl-1-triazeno)quinoline produces significant antitumor activity against both P-388 and L1210 murine leukemias. Although only marginally active or inactive against P-388, the other chloro, bromo, or iodo analogues show activity against L1210 comparable to that of dacarbazine (DIC). However, none of these compounds is active against B-16 melanoma. Compared with DIC these new agents demonstrate a higher in vitro affinity for melanin; however, this affinity is apparently not correlated with their antitumor activity.

Synthesis of 5-substituted 2'-deoxyuridines.

A series of thymidylate synthetase inhibitors was synthesized, some of which were potential irreversible inhibitors. 5-Formyl-2'-deoxyuridine (9) and its dithiolane derivative 11 were prepared by condensation of the bis(trimethylsilyl) derivative of 5-formyluracil dimethyl acetal and the protected chloro sugar followed by saponification of the protective groups. 5-Acetyl-2'-deoxyuridine (15) was prepared in the same way from 5-acetyluracil. Treatment of the diester of 5-allyl-2'-deoxyuridine (17 or 22) with m-chloroperbenzoic acid gave the corresponding epoxide. Dimethylamine removed the ester groups and opened the epoxide to give the amino alcohol 24. The diester of 5-chloromethyl-2'-deoxyuridine (27) treated with methanol or sodium azide gave 5-methoxymethyl- (29) and 5-azidomethyl- (31) 2'-deoxyuridines. Compound 27 also was converted to 5-iodoacetamidomethyl-2'-deoxyuridine by treatment with ammonia, chloroacetyl chloride, base saponification, and finally sodium iodide.

Antitumor agents. 11. Synthesis and cytotoxic activity of epoxides of helenalin related derivatives.

Several epoxides of helenalin related derivatives have been synthesized in an effort to evaluate the potential significance of the epoxycyclopentanone moiety for cytotoxic activity against the growth of tissue culture cells originating from human epidermoid carcinoma of larynx (H.Ep-2). Helenalin (1) was converted to the monoepoxy derivative 2 and the diepoxy derivative 3 by alkaline hydrogen peroxide at different temperatures. Alternative synthesis of 2 was achieved by a convenient method of protecting the alpha-methylene grouping of the gamma-lactone, i.e., epoxidation of helenalin dimethylamine adduct 4, followed by treatment of the reaction product 5 with m-chloroperbenzoic acid. 2,3-Epoxy-11,13-dihydrohelenalin (8) was prepared by direct epoxidation of 11,13-dihydrohelenalin (7). Treatment of mexicanin A (9) with m-chloroperbenzoic acid gave, in addition to the 1,2-epoxy derivative 10, 1-alpha-hydroxyhelenalin (11) which furnished an acetate (12) upon acetylation. Catalytic hydrogenation of 10 yielded the dihydroepoxide 13. Treatment of 1 or acetylhelenalin (15) with Ac2O-p-TsOH gave the same acetyl dienol acetate (14). Epoxidation of 14 with m-chloroperbenzoic acid gave 1,beta hydroxyhelenalin (19) and a mixture of monoepoxides (17 and 18) which yielded 19 and 11 upon silica gel chromatography. The results of the cytotoxicity test of the compounds studied indicate that either an alpha- or a beta-epoxycyclopentanone moiety in helenalin related derivatives contributes significantly to the cytotoxicity. Furthermore, this cytotoxicity appears to be independent of the presence or absence of an alpha-epoxy-gamma-lactonic moiety.

Synthesis and biological properties of actinomycin D chromophoric analogues substituted at the 7-carbon with aziridine and aminopropoxy functions.

The growing importance of functionalized aziridines in numerous organic biomolecules led us to develop syntheses of novel actinomycin D (AMD) analogues substituted with an aziridine. Reaction of 7-hydroxyactinomycin D with 2-(iodomethyl)aziridine produced the desired 7-(2-aziridinylmethoxy)actinomycin analogue. In an attempt to develop an alternate route to this analogue, 7-(2-azido-3-iodopropoxy)actinomycin was subjected to reduction with dimethylamine-borane complex; the reaction did not produce the three-membered aziridine; instead the reaction product was found to be linear 7-(2-aminopropoxy)actinomycin D. Calf-thymus-DNA binding of these analogues was comparable to that of AMD as examined by UV-visible difference spectral measurements, thermal denaturation of DNA, and CD techniques. The analogues were found to be about 1/4 to 1/30 as cytotoxic to human lymphoblastic CCRF-CEM leukemia and B16 melanoma cells in vitro as AMD.

Specific sequestering agents for the actinides. 16. Synthesis and initial biological testing of polydentate oxohydroxypyridinecarboxylate ligands.

Chemical and biological similarities of plutonium(IV) and iron(III) suggested that octadentate ligands containing hydroxamate or catecholate functional groups, which are found in microbial iron chelating agents (siderophores), would be effective and relatively selective complexing agents for actinide(IV) ions. However, their usefulness for in vivo chelation of actinide(IV) is limited, because catechol and hydroxamate are such weak acids that the potential for octadentate binding of actinide(IV) cannot be achieved at physiological pH. The structurally similar monoprotic and more acidic 1-hydroxy-2(1H)-pyridinone (1,2-HOPO) group was, therefore, incorporated into multidentate ligands. Treatment of 1,2-dihydro-1-hydroxy-2-oxopyridine-6-carboxylic acid (5) with phosgene in THF solution gives the active ester poly[1,2-dihydro-1,2-dioxopyridine-6-carboxylate], which upon treatment with excess anhydrous dimethylamine gave a 60% yield of N,N-dimethyl-1,2-dihydro-1-hydroxy-2-oxopyridine-6-carboxamide (6). A similarly reactive intermediate was prepared from 5 and an equimolar amount of phosgene in N,N-dimethylacetamide. Combined in situ with 1,3-propanediamine, benzylamine, spermine, spermidine, 1,3,5-tris(aminomethyl)benzene, or desferrioxamine B and excess triethylamine, the latter intermediate gave the corresponding amides in isolated yields ranging from 16% to 60%. The free ligands, their Zn(II) complexes, and the ferric complex of 3,4,3-LIHOPO were administered to mice [30 mumol/kg intraperitoneally 1 h after Pu(IV)-238 citrate, kill at 24 h]. Net Pu removal [Pu excretion (treated)-PU excretion (control)], expressed as percent of injected Pu, was as follows: Na salts and Zn(II) complexes, respectively, of 3-LIHOPO (54, 56), 3,4-LIHOPO (58, 60), 3,4,3-LIHOPO (73, 76); Na salts of MEHOPO (46), DFO-HOPO (78); Fe(III) complex of 3,4,3-LIHOPO (79). DFO-HOPO and 3,4,3-LIHOPO and its Zn(II) and Fe(III) complexes promoted significantly more Pu excretion than CaNa3-DTPA (61% of injected Pu). Preliminary findings on the acute toxicity of the poly(HOPO) ligands and HOPO monomers are presented in an appendix. The biological data indicate strongly that the aqueous solubility and relatively high acidity of the octadentate HOPO ligands, 3,4,3-LIHOPO and DFO-HOPO allow them to form complete eight-coordinate complexes with Pu(IV) ion.

The construction of the 5-dimethylaminomethyl 1,2,3-triazol-4-yl unit, which incorporates the solubilizing group of 3, was accomplished by thermal rearrangement of a propargylic azide in the presence of dimethylamine. Compound 3 is highly effective in pre-clinical tests that are relevant to clinical efficacy in emesis and depression.

Cationic nonsymmetric transplatinum complexes with piperidinopiperidine ligands. Preparation, characterization, in vitro cytotoxicity, in vivo toxicity, and anticancer efficacy studies.

A series of complexes of the general formula trans-[PtCl2(Am)(pip-pip)] x HCl where pip-pip is 4-piperidinopiperidine and Am is NH3, methylamine (MA), dimethylamine (DMA), n-propylamine (NPA), isopropylamine (IPA), n-butylamine (NBA), or cyclohexylamine (CHA) were prepared and characterized, and their cytotoxic properties against ovarian and colon cancer cells were evaluated. The trans-[PtCl2(NH3)(pip-pip)] x HCl was significantly more potent than cisplatin in all the cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cell lines and was nearly as cytotoxic as cisplatin against colon cancer cells. In vivo studies in mice showed that the pip-pip complexes are significantly less toxic than cisplatin. Cisplatin was more efficacious than both trans-[PtCl2(NH3)(pip-pip)] x HCl and trans-[PtCl2(NBA)(pip-pip)] x HCl in the A2780 and A2780cisR tumor xenograft models, consistent with its lower IC50 values in A2780 cells but contrary to the higher IC50 values in A2780cisR cells. In the colon cancer cell studies, trans-[PtCl2(NH3)(pip-pip)] x HCl was slightly less potent than cisplatin in the in vitro studies but had efficacy comparable to that of cisplatin in the in vivo xenograft model.

Interactions of platinum complexes containing cationic, bicyclic, nonplanar piperidinopiperidine ligands with biological nucleophiles.

The determination of the structures and DNA interactions and the reactions with GSH and ubiquitin of complexes of the general formula trans-[PtCl2(Am)(pip-pip)] x HCl, where pip-pip is 4-piperidinopiperidine and Am is NH3, methylamine (MA), dimethylamine (DMA), n-propylamine (NPA), isopropylamine (IPA), n-butylamine (NBA), or cyclohexylamine (CHA), were performed. X-ray structures and NMR studies of the NH3 and MA complexes showed that both pip rings were in the chair conformation and that the second pip ring is fluxional. The DNA binding studies showed that these complexes bind to calf thymus DNA nearly an order of magnitude more quickly than cisplatin and form covalent adducts that stabilize the double helix. The binding of the pip-pip complexes to DNA results in high unwinding angles (approximately 30 degrees) and in the formation of approximately 25% interstrand cross-links. The pip-pip complexes reacted with GSH more quickly than cisplatin and transplatin, and the rate of reaction decreased with increasing steric bulk of the ligand trans to the pip-pip. The reactions with ubiquitin resulted in monofunctional binding to Met1. Only the NH3, MA, and DMA complexes reacted with ubiquitin in a slower and less efficient fashion than cisplatin.
