[Effect of the combined action of hydrogen fluoride and phosphine on the structural and functional properties of the sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes of the myocardium with nutrition of varying character].

A study was made of the activity of transport ATPases of rat myocardial sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes under the conditions of different-character nutrition and under the action of hydrogen fluoride and phosphine. The combined effect of the gases under study was accompanied by activation of Ca2+ ATPase and total ATPase. The character of nutrition, the degree of its adequacy according to retinol, tocopherol, ascorbic acid and essential amino acids (lysine, methionine, and threonine) determined not only the activity of transport ATPases and the phospholipid content of sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes but also the features of the toxic effects of hydrogen fluoride and phosphine. The enrichment of the diet with retinol, tocopherol, ascorbic acid and thiamine reduces the toxic effects of these gases under the conditions of acute and chronic priming as well.

The phosphine oxides Cyanex 921 and Cyanex 923 as carriers for facilitated transport of chromium (VI)-chloride aqueous solutions.

The behaviour of the phosphine oxides Cyanex 921 and Cyanex 923 in the facilitated transport of chromium (VI) from chloride solutions is described. Transport is studied as a function of several variables such as stirring speeds of the aqueous phases, membrane phase diluent, hydrochloric acid concentration in the source phase and chromium and carrier concentrations. The separation of chromium (VI) from other metals presented in the source phase as well as the behaviour of phosphine oxides with respect to other neutral organophosphorous derivatives (tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP) and dibutyl butylphosphonate (DBBP)) are also investigated. Moreover, by using hydrazine sulphate in the receiving phase, Cr(VI) is immediately reduced to the less toxic Cr(III).

Phosphinate analogs of D-, D-dipeptides: slow-binding inhibition and proteolysis protection of VanX, a D-, D-dipeptidase required for vancomycin resistance in Enterococcus faecium.

VanX is a D-Ala-D-Ala dipeptidase that is essential for vancomycin resistance in Enterococcus faecium. Contrary to most proteases and peptidases, it prefers to hydrolyze the amino substrate but not the related kinetically and thermodynamically more favorable ester substrate D-Ala-D-lactate. The enzymatic activity of VanX was previously found to be inhibited by the phosphinate analogs of the proposed tetrahedral intermediate for hydrolysis of D-Ala-D-Ala. Here we report that such phosphinates are slow-binding inhibitors. D-3-[(1-Aminoethyl)phosphinyl]-D-2-methylpropionic acid I showed a time-dependent onset of inhibition of VanX and a time-dependent return to uninhibited steady-state rates upon dilution of the enzyme/inhibitor mixture. The initial inhibition constant Ki after immediate addition of VanX to phosphinate I to form the E-I complex is 1.5 microM but is then lowered by a relatively slow isomerization step to a second complex, E-I*, with a final K*i of 0.47 microM. This slow-binding inhibition reflects a Km/K*i ratio of 2900:1. The rate constant for the slow dissociation of complex E-I* is 0.24 min-1. A phosphinate analog with an ethyl group replacing what would be the side chain of the second D-alanyl residue in the normal tetrahedral adduct gives a K*i value of 90 nM. Partial proteolysis of VanX reveals two protease-sensitive loop regions that are protected by the intermediate analog phosphinate, indicating that they may be part of the VanX active site.

Structural motifs in (t-butoxy) zirconium phosphinates, arsinates, and phosphates.

Reaction of zirconium tetrakis(tert-butoxide) (1) with dicylohexylphosphinic acid in toluene leads to the dinuclear compound [Zr(mu,mu'-O(2)P(cycl-C(6)H(11))(2))(O-t-Bu)(3)](2) (2) in which the zirconium is pentacoordinated. An analogous reaction using diphenylphosphinic acid in tetrahydrofuran also leads to a dinuclear complex [Zr(mu,mu'-O(2)PPh(2))(THF)((O-t-Bu)(3)](2).C(6)H(5)CH(3) (3.C(6)H(5)CH(3)), in which zirconium is hexacoordinated. A novel exchange of tert-butoxy and phenoxy groups occurs when 1 is treated with diphenyl phosphate [(PhO)(2)PO(2)H] leading to the isolation of the exchange product [Zr(mu,mu'-O(2)P(O-t-Bu)(OPh))(mu-OPh)(O-t-Bu)(2)](2) (4). In contrast to the above, trinuclear zirconium compounds Zr(3(mu,mu'-O(2)AsMe(2))(2)(mu2,mu'-O(2)AsMe(2))(O-t-Bu)(7)(mu-O-t-Bu)(2) (5) and Zr(3(mu,mu'-O(2)P(O-t-Bu)(2))(5)(O-t-Bu)(7).(1)/(2)C(6)H(5)CH(3) (6.(1)/(2)C(6)H(5)CH(3)) have been isolated from the reaction of 1 with cacodylic acid and di-tert-butyl phosphate, respectively. The X-ray structures of 2, 3, 5, and 6 have been determined; although the X-ray structural analysis of 4 could not be satisfactorily finished, it reveals the disposition of the substituents. The solution state NMR data suggest that these compounds undergo structural changes in solution. Possible relationships among the various structures are discussed.

Synthesis and characterization of a novel class of reducing agents that are highly neuroprotective for retinal ganglion cells.

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) undergo apoptosis after axonal injury, in part regulated by an intracellular superoxide anion burst, for which the target(s) are unknown. Shifting the RGC redox state towards reduction and preventing sulfhydryl oxidation is neuroprotective in vitro and in vivo, implying that one or more sulfhydryls on one or more critical proteins may be involved. We synthesized novel borane-protected analogues of the reductant tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) with the intent of increasing cell permeability and improving chemical stability, and tested their ability to increase RGC survival in vitro. Retinal ganglion cells of postnatal day 2-4 Long-Evans rats were retrogradely labeled with 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). At postnatal days 11-13 the animals were sacrificed, the retinas enzymatically dissociated and plated on poly-L-lysine-coated 96-well flat-bottomed tissue culture plates for 72 h in Neurobasal-A, B27 supplement lacking antioxidants, and TCEP, bis(3-propionic acid methyl ester)phenylphosphine borane complex (PB1), (3-propionic acid methyl ester)diphenylphosphine borane complex (PB2), or three commercially available phosphines. Viable DAPI-positive RGCs were identified by calcein-AM staining. At 72 h, PB1 was effective at rescuing acutely axotomized RGCs at concentrations from 1 nM to 100 microM. RGC survival with 1 nM PB1 was 174+/-12% of control (p=0.002). Another compound, PB2, rescued RGCs at 10 pM (177+/-24%; p=0.006) and 10 nM (251+/-34%; p=0.004) at 72 h. A PAMPA assay demonstrated that PB1 and PB2 were substantially more permeable than TCEP. These data demonstrate that modified reductants are effective RGC neuroprotectants at picomolar-nanomolar concentrations. We propose that these novel molecules may act by inhibiting the sulfhydryl oxidation effect of an intracellular superoxide burst.

Mechanism of asymmetric hydrogenation by rhodium complexes with unsymmetrical P-chirogenic bisphosphine ligands.

Using a series of the rhodium complexes with (1S,2S)-1-(R(1))methylphosphino-2-(R(2))(R(3))phosphinoethane (R(1), R(2) and R(3) = 1-adamantyl, t-butyl, cyclohexyl, cyclopentyl, methyl; abbreviated as unsymmetrical BisP*), very high enantioselectivities were observed when the di- or tri- substituted and tetra-substituted dehydro-alpha-amino acid derivatives were used as the substrates. The main factor to give high enantioselectivity is the repulsive interaction between the functional groups of the substrate and the bulky substituents of the unsymmetrical BisP*. Since the unsymmetrical BisP* has two independent chiral phosphorous atoms in the vicinity of the active site, the higher enantioselectivity than those by the C2 symmetric BisP* complexes can be obtained. Moreover, the fine-tuning to obtain extremely high enantioselectivity may be possible by changing the combination of the substituents on the two phosphorous atoms of the unsymmetrical BisP*.

Use of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry for the study of Ln(III) complexation and extraction speciation with calixarene-CMPO in the fuel partitioning concept.

The calixarene-bearing CMPO groups belong to a family of extracting agents recently developed for nuclear reprocessing. These molecules exhibit specific properties to separate actinides(III) from lanthanides(III) in nitric acid solution. Speciation of two distinct calixarene-CMPO (carbamoyl phosphine oxide), substituted either in the wide rim or in the narrow rim with lanthanides (La, Eu, Yb), was undertaken. The complexation behaviour in single phase or in liquid-liquid extraction was examined with two different electrospray spectrometer source geometries. The stoichiometries of the different complexes were reported and the selectivity of these calixarenes towards lanthanides was determined. The results obtained were concordant for the two spectrometers and confirm that electrospray mass spectrometry is a useful tool to study non-covalently bonded complexes.

Vapor-phase modification of sulfhydryl groups in proteins.

Proteins and peptides are readily and specifically modified at their sulfhydryl groups by the vapors of a mixture of 4-vinylpyridine and tributylphosphine. The phenylthiohydantoin derivative of S-beta-(4-pyridylethyl)cysteine formed during sequence analysis is easily detectable in current identification systems.

P-Phos: a family of versatile and effective atropisomeric dipyridylphosphine ligands in asymmetric catalysis.

This Account outlines our efforts in the design and synthesis of a family of highly effective atropisomeric dipyridylphosphine ligands (P-Phos and its variants) and in the development of their widespread applications in transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric reactions including hydrogenation, hydrosilylation, and C-C bond formation. Desirable attributes, such as air stability, broad substrate scope, fast rates of reaction, excellent enantioselectivities, low catalyst loading, and mild conditions, make the catalyst systems highly attractive and thus may provide excellent opportunities for practical applications.

Diastereoselective and intramolecular cycloadditions of asymmetric p-nitroso phosphine oxides.

Benzyl phenyl P-nitroso phosphine oxide (5) reacts as an N-O heterodienophile with 1,3-cyclopentadiene to give the diastereomeric cycloadducts 6a,b in a ratio of 1.5:1 (6a:6b). The same reaction in the presence of tin tetrachloride produces 6a,b in a ratio of 2.9:1 (6a:6b). Cycloaddition of the structurally modified P-nitroso phosphine oxide (18) with 1,3-cyclopentadiene forms the diastereomeric cycloadducts 16a,b in a ratio of 3.1:1 (16a:16b). These results suggest the reactions of these P-nitroso phosphine oxides and 1,3-cyclopentadiene occur through a transition state where the heterodienophile adopts an s-cis conformation and approaches the diene in an exo fashion syn to the phenyl group. This model resembles those proposed for the cycloadditions of the structurally similar asymmetric vinyl phosphine oxides. Reaction of 18 with 1,3-cyclopentadiene in the presence of a Lewis acid produces cycloadducts 16a,b in a ratio of 7:1 (16a:16b), which approaches synthetic utility. Similar experiments show that 1,3-cyclohexadiene likely reacts with P-nitroso phosphine oxides through a different transition state, limiting current predictions regarding the diastereoselectivity of these reactions. The intramolecular cycloaddition of an asymmetric P-nitroso phosphine oxide (19) for the first time produces a unique phosphorus-containing heterocyclic compound (20).

Ion-pairing interactions between 99MTc-based myocardial imaging agents and oleic acid.

PURPOSE: The purpose was to test the hypothesis that ion-paired facilitated transport is of importance in successful myocardial uptake of cationic imaging complexes. In vitro ion-pairing interactions between oleic acid and seven cationic technetium-99m complexes based on the ligands 1,2-bis[bis(2-ethoxyethyl) phosphino ethane] (tetrofosmin), 1,2-bis(dimethyl phosphino ethane) (DMPE) and 1,2-bis(diethyl phosphino ethane) (DEPE) has been studied. The complexes studied were: [99mTc O2 (tetrafosmin)2]+ (commercially available as myocardial perfusion imaging kit, Myoview), [99mTc O2 (DMPE)2]+, [99mTc O2 (DEPE)2]+, [99mTc Cl2 (DMPE)2]+, [99mTc Cl2 (DEPE)2]+, [99mTc (DMPE)3]+ and [99mTc (DEPE)3]+. METHODS: Ion-pairing interactions were monitored using a rotating diffusion cell containing a solid supported liquid membrane and by formation of lipid monolayers. RESULTS: Depletion of complex from the donor phase into an isopropyl myristate model membrane was generally in proportion to distribution coefficient and transfer to the receptor compartment was in all cases very small. However, by the inclusion of 5% w/v oleic acid, which is used in myocardial metabolism, partitioning was enhanced by amounts which varied depending on the tendency to form complex/oleate ion-pairs. Transfer to the receptor compartment was increased for most complexes when given sufficient time to diffuse through the membrane. The complex [99mTc O2 (tetrofosmin)2]+ appeared to form particularly stable ion-pairs with oleic acid. Monolayer formation also indicated ion-pairing interactions. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggested that whether or not a complex is taken up by the myocyte may depend on its ability to 'hitch a ride' by ion-pairing with the myocytes energy source--a molecule of long chain fatty acid.

Mechanism of inhibition of human neutrophil collagenase by Gold(I) chrysotherapeutic compounds. Interaction at a heavy metal binding site.

The mechanism of inhibition of two forms of human neutrophil collagenase (HNC) by six Au(I) compounds, some of which are used as chrysotherapeutic agents, has been investigated. The two forms of enzyme studied are active and latent HNC, the latter of which is activated by p-chloromercuribenzoate (PCMB). The effects of PCMB and Zn(II), which are normally included in the assays, on the activity of both forms of HNC and on their inhibition by these Au(I) compounds have also been studied. Zn(II) stimulates the activity of both the active and PCMB-activated latent forms of HNC up to a concentration of 50-100 microM, after which it inhibits markedly. PCMB activates latent HNC up to a concentration of 100 microM followed by inhibition at higher concentrations. Active HNC is not stimulated at PCMB concentrations below 100 microM, but is inhibited at higher concentrations. The stimulatory effects of Zn(II) and PCMB on HNC and its inhibition by PCMB are all attributable to binding at distinct sites. The inhibition of both active and PCMB-activated latent HNC by the Au(I) compounds is noncompetitive and is reversed by Zn(II). The inhibition of both forms of HNC by SKF 80544 and SKF 36914, which do not contain thiol ligands, is weak to moderate and is not influenced by the PCMB concentration. In contrast, PCMB markedly enhances the inhibition by Myocrisin, Sanocrisin, and Solganol by complexing to their thiol ligands to facilitate release of the Au(I) atom for binding to HNC. Cd(II) and Cu(II) also inhibit HNC noncompetitively, and inhibition is also reversed by Zn(II). Collectively, these data indicate that latent HNC contains a heavy metal binding site distinct from the active site at which Au(I), Cd(II), and Cu(II) bind to cause noncompetitive inhibition. Occupancy of this site by Zn(II) is characterized by retention of activity.

Protection of the Hydroxyphosphinyl Function of Phosphinic Dipeptides by Adamantyl. Application to the Solid-Phase Synthesis of Phosphinic Peptides.

To develop solid-phase synthesis of phosphinic peptides, different FmocXaaPsi{PO(OAd)CH(2)}XaaOH building blocks have been prepared, where Fmoc is (fluorenylmethoxy)carbonyl. In this respect, the protection of the hydroxyphosphinyl function in these phosphinic dipeptides by the adamantyl group turns out to be convenient. The phosphinic adamantyl esters are completely stable in basic conditions and can be removed under relatively mild acidic conditions. Using these building blocks, despite the bulkiness of the adamantyl group, no particular problem of coupling was observed during the solid-phase synthesis of phosphinic peptides by the Fmoc strategy. The developed methodology is of particular interest to facilitate the development of potent inhibitors of zinc-metalloproteases.

sigma-->sigma* Transitions in Mn2(CO)8L2 complexes (L = P-donor ligands): pi-acidity and oxygen pendant group effects in phosphite ligands.

Comparison of the energies assigned to the sigma-->sigma* transitions in bis-axial Mn2(CO)8L2 complexes when L = phosphites and phosphinites with those when L = alkyl and aryl phosphines shows that the oxygen-containing ligands do show effects associated with their pi-acidity. However, the data also strongly suggest that the energies are affected by the presence of the oxygen atoms themselves to an extent that increases linearly with the number of oxygen atoms connected to the P-donor atoms. This "oxygen effect" is analogous to, but distinct from, the aryl effect that is also simply proportional to the number of aryl groups attached to the P-donor atoms. This resolves the incongruity of the claim that phosphites also show an "aryl effect", and suggests that specific "pendant group effects" due to the nature and number of atoms attached to the phosphorus atoms of P-donor ligands (aryl, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc.) may be quite general.

[Determination of phosphine liberated in the storage of amorphous red phosphorus by headspace gas chromatography].

Formation and liberation of phosphine has been an important factor and concern in the safety of the storage of amorphous red phosphorous. A method was established for the analysis of phosphine, which was determined by gas chromatography with a flame photometric detector and a column of 3 mm i. d. x 2 m glass tube packed with GDX-102 stationary phase. An aliquot of 0.2 mL of the gas was injected by headspace sampler for the determination of the target compound with external standard quantitation. The retention time of phosphine was 1.62 min at 50 degrees C. The minimum detectable amount was 0.001 microg/L, the recovery exceeded 97% and the relative standard deviations were from 2.35% to 6.52%. The accelerated ageing tests at 50 degrees C were used to study phosphine liberation from amorphous red phosphorus in presence of trace water and trace ferric cation. It was found that water was the most important agent in the generation of phosphine as it was the source of hydrogen for the reaction P --> PH3. With the increase of the moisture level in the red phosphorus sample, the reaction speeded up more quickly, and the generation amount of phosphine increased, but the phosphine liberation increased little when the level of moisture reached a certain limit. The reaction was affected by a trace amount of ferric salt. Different acidic ferric salts showed different results. Potassium ferrocyanide was found as an effective inhibitor to slow down phosphine liberation in the presence of trace ferric salt.

Unusual oxidation of phosphines employing water as the oxygen atom source and tris(benzene-1,2-dithiolate)molybdenum(VI) as the oxidant. A functional molybdenum hydroxylase analogue system.

The kinetics of the reaction of Mo(VI)(S2C6H4)3 with organic phosphines to produce the anionic Mo(V) complex, Mo(V)(S2C6H4)3-, and phosphine oxide have been investigated. Reaction rates, monitored by UV-vis stopped-flow spectrophotometry, were studied in THF/H2O media as a function of the concentration of phosphine, molybdenum complex, pH, and water concentration. The reaction exhibits pH-dependent phosphine saturation kinetics and is first-order in complex concentration. The water concentration strongly enhances the reaction rate, which is consistent with the formation of Mo(VI)(S2C6H4)3(H2O) adduct as a crucial intermediate. The observed pH dependence of the reaction rate would arise from the distribution between acid and basic forms of this adduct. Apparently, the electrophilic attack by the phosphine at the oxygen requires the coordinated water to be in the unprotonated hydroxide form, Mo(VI)(S2C6H4)3(HO)-. This is followed by the concerted abstraction of 2e-, H+ by the Mo(VI) center to give Mo(IV)(S2C6H4)3(2-), H+, and the corresponding phosphine oxide. However, this Mo(IV) complex product is oxidized rapidly to Mo(V)(S2C6H4)3- via comproportionation with unreacted Mo(VI)(S2C6H4)3. The Mo(V) complex thus formed can be oxidized to the starting Mo(VI) complex upon admission of O2. Consequently, Mo(VI)(S2C6H4)3 is a catalyst for the autoxidation of phosphines in the presence of water. Additionally, there was a detectable variation in the reactivity for a series of tertiary phosphines. The rate of Mo(VI) complex reduction increases as does the phosphine basicity: (p-CH3C6H4)3P > (C6H5)3P > (p-ClC6H4)3P. Oxygen isotope tracing confirms that water rather than dioxygen is the source of the oxygen atom which is transferred to the phosphine. Such reactivity parallels oxidase activity of xanthine enzyme with phosphine as oxygen atom acceptor and Mo(VI)(S2C6H4)3 as electron acceptor.

Versatile solid-phase synthesis of peptide-derived 2-oxazolines. Application in the synthesis of ligands for asymmetric catalysis.

A mild and high-yielding procedure for the solid-phase synthesis of 2-oxazolines from amino acids is described. The two-step protocol is based on the iodination of serine containing peptides, followed by in situ nucleophilic attack of the carbonyl oxygen from the next amino acid. Phosphinylation of the terminal amino group cleanly furnishes a resin-bound phosphine-oxazoline ligand, which upon palladium complexation was applied as catalyst in asymmetric allylic substitution.

Phosphine and methane generation by the addition of organic compounds containing carbon-phosphorus bonds into incubated soil.

Formation of phosphine and methane in anaerobic incubation systems was investigated under stirred and unstirred conditions. The PH3 and CH4 levels in the headspace, as well as the matrix-bound PH3 content in the stirred soil, significantly increased upon the addition of phosphonoacetic acid (P(O)(OH)2CH2COOH). Both the levels of matrix-bound PH3 and CH4 are positively correlated to the buffered dithionite fraction of reactive phosphorus in the soil samples, while a negative correlation was observed between matrix-bound PH3/CH4 levels and the reactive phosphorus fraction.
