Quantitative and qualitative characterization of 1H NMR spectra of colon tumors, normal mucosa and their perchloric acid extracts: decreased levels of myo-inositol in tumours can be detected in intact biopsies.

Sixteen colonic tumours and 10 normal mucosa biopsies have been examined by 1H NMR spectroscopy at 9.4 T. A complete characterization and quantification of the aliphatic region of PCA extract spectra and the analysis of the two-dimensional COSY spectra of five pairs of intact biopsies (tumor and control mucosa) has been carried out. The analysis of the PCA extracts demonstrated a significant increase in the concentration of the endogenous compounds: lactate, glutamate, aspartate, taurine, spermine, glutathione and glycerophosphoethanolamine, and a significant decrease of myo- and scyllo-inositol, in tumours with respect to mucosae. Among these metabolites, the high myo-inositol and taurine levels and the reciprocal changes found between them in tumours and mucosae make their resonances interesting as possible malignancy markers if they are detectable in vivo. In contrast to the easy observation of taurine in one-dimensional spectra of intact biopsies, the difficulty of observing myo-inositol prompted us to use two-dimensional COSY spectra for the detection and quantification of both these metabolites. In the two-dimensional spectra, the use of a ratio between the cross-peak volumes of both metabolites permits an excellent differentiation between tumours and normal mucosa and suggests its potential to detect malignant changes in the healthy tissue, provided a two-dimensional approach is used.

Inclusion complexes of nabumetone with beta-cyclodextrins: thermodynamics and molecular modelling studies. Influence of sodium perchlorate.

Fluorescence, (1)H-NMR and molecular mechanics have been used to study the inclusion complexes of nabumetone (4,6-methoxy-2-naphthyl-butan-2-one; NAB) with beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD), randomly methylated-beta (M beta-CD) and hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrins (HP beta-CD). The emission spectrum of NAB shows a maximum whose fluorescence intensity increases with the different beta-CDs growing concentrations. This phenomenon allows calculation of the stability constants at 15, 25, 37 and 45 degrees C. The thermodynamic parameters Delta H degrees and Delta S degrees for the inclusion process were obtained from the temperature dependence of the stability constants. Molecular mechanics calculations, together with proton NMR measurements, for the complex with beta-CD prove that the complex can be formed by penetration through any of the rims, with the naphthalene nucleus included and the substituents outside the cavity. The influence of NaClO(4) in the aforementioned complexes has been analysed by spectrofluorimetric measurements. It has been found that the stability constants for the complexes decrease with the salt concentration; the causes are discussed.

Enantioselective recognition of ammonium perchlorate salts by optically active monoaza-15-crown-5 ethers.

Chiral monoaza-15-crown-5 ethers (1, 2) were prepared from (R)-(-)-2-amino-1-butanol in high yield. The chiral monoaza-15-crown-5 ethers were purified directly as NaClO(4) complexes. Molecular recognition by these chiral monoaza-crown ethers of (R)- and (S)-PhEtHClO(4) and (R)- and (S)-NapEtHClO(4) as characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy. The order of enantiomeric selectivity is (R)- > (S)- PhEtHClO(4) and (S)- > (R)-NapEtHClO(4) for 1. In the case of 2 it was (R)- > (S)-PhEtHClO(4) and (R)- > (S)- NapEtHClO(4). The cavity of macrocycle and steric hindrance of the benzene units appears to play an important role in recognition.

Pattern recognition analysis of 1H NMR spectra from perchloric acid extracts of human brain tumor biopsies.

Pattern recognition techniques (factor analysis and neural networks) were used to investigate and classify human brain tumors based on the 1H NMR spectra of chemically extracted biopsies (n = 118). After removing information from lactate (because of variable ischemia times), unsupervised learning suggested that the spectra separated naturally into two groups: meningiomas and other tumors. Principal component analysis reduced the dimensionality of the data. A back-propagation neural network using the first 30 principal components gave 85% correct classification of meningiomas and nonmeningiomas. Simplification by vector rotation gave vectors that could be assigned to various metabolites, making it possible to use or to reject their information for neural network classification. Using scores calculated from the four rotated vectors due to creatine and glutamine gave the best classification into meningiomas and nonmeningiomas (89% correct). Classification of gliomas (n = 47) gave 62% correct within one grade. Only inositol showed a significant correlation with glioma grade.
