Numerous studies have dealt with the cytochemical localization of cytochrome oxidase via cytochrome c. More recent studies have dealt with indicating initial foci of this reaction by altering incubation pH (1) or postosmication procedure (2,3). The following study is an attempt to locate such foci by altering membrane permeability. It is thought that such alterations within the limits of maintaining morphological integrity of the membranes will ease the entry of exogenous substrates resulting in a much quicker oxidation and subsequently a more precise definition of the oxidative reaction.The diaminobenzidine (DAB) method of Seligman et al. (4) was used. Minced pieces of rat liver were incubated for 1 hr following toluene treatment (5,6). Experimental variations consisted of incubating fixed or unfixed tissues treated with toluene and unfixed tissues treated with toluene and subsequently fixed.

The synthesis of new tridentate, isoquinoline-derived ligands, involving successive Suzuki cross-coupling reactions, is described. We were able to resolve 1-[3-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-isoquinolin-1-yl]-naphthalen-2-ol via molecular complexation with N-benzylcinchonidinium chloride, whereas 1,3-bis(2-hydroxy-naphthalen-1-yl)-isoquinoline was resolved by chromatographic separation of its epimeric camphorsulfonates. Their barrier to rotation about the central biaryl axis was evaluated via racemization studies. Application of enantiopure 1,3-bis(2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)-isoquinoline in the addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes proceeded in moderate yield but without asymmetric induction. A new tridentate ligand, 4-tert-butyl-2-chloro-6-[1-(2-hydroxymethyl-naphthalen-1-yl)-isoquinolin-3-yl]-phenol, was prepared in good yield and resolved by semipreparative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Its application in the addition of diethylzinc to a range of aromatic aldehydes proceeded in near perfect enantioselectivities at low ligand loadings of 1 mol %.

Hearts from insulin-resistant type 2 diabetic db/db mice exhibit features of a diabetic cardiomyopathy with altered metabolism of exogenous substrates and reduced contractile performance. Therefore, the effect of chronic oral administration of 2-(2-(4-phenoxy-2-propylphenoxy)ethyl)indole-5-acetic acid (COOH), a novel ligand for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ that produces insulin sensitization, to db/db mice (30 mg/kg for 6 wk) on cardiac function was assessed. COOH treatment reduced blood glucose from 27 mM in untreated db/db mice to a normal level of 10 mM. Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake was enhanced in cardiomyocytes from COOH-treated db/db hearts. Working perfused hearts from COOH-treated db/db mice demonstrated metabolic changes with enhanced glucose oxidation and decreased palmitate oxidation. However, COOH treatment did not improve contractile performance assessed with ex vivo perfused hearts and in vivo by echocardiography. The reduced outward K+ currents in diabetic cardiomyocytes were still attenuated after COOH. Metabolic changes in COOH-treated db/db hearts are most likely indirect, secondary to changes in supply of exogenous substrates in vivo and insulin sensitization.

1. In order to examine the possibility of heterogeneity in the dependence of renal tubular cells upon oxidative phosphorylation and exogenous substrates, the effects of antimycin A and substrate deprivation on adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) content were examined in isolated rat nephron segments in vitro at 37°C. 2. Antimycin A (5 μmol/l) caused varying decrements in cell ATP level within 5 min in the following order: proximal tubules > cortical thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (cTAL) > cortical collecting duct (cCD) in the cortex, and thin descending limb of Henle's loop (TDL) > medullary thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (mTAL) > outer medullary collecting duct (omCD) in the inner stripe of the outer medulla. In the thick ascending limb and the collecting duct, the segments located in the cortex were more sensitive than those in the medulla. 3. Substrate deprivation for 30 min markedly decreased the cell ATP content in cortical and medullary proximal tubules and also in medullary TDL, whereas it caused only a slight decrease in cTAL and mTAL with no change in cCD and omCD. 4. Media made hypertonic by the addition of 200 mmol/l NaCl under aerobic conditions, increased the requirement for exogenous substrates in TDL and mTAL, but not in omCD. This stimulation was seen to a lesser extent in media made hypertonic by the addition of mannitol instead of NaCl. 5. Taking into consideration a knowledge of rat kidney architecture and intrarenal gradient of oxygen partial pressure, it is likely that the observed dependency upon both oxygen and exogenous substrates in the renal tubular cells reflects adaptation of such cells to their anatomical location, and to the availability of those substances in situ. Furthermore, extracellular sodium concentration and osmolarity stimulate metabolic requirements to a different extent among the nephron segments.

Abstract The reaction of 1-thia-4,7-diazacyclononane (C6H14N2S = L) with salts containing Tl(I) and (III), In(III) and Pb(II) ions yields 1:1 complexes, which can be crystallized as halide or Perchlorate salts. The structure of [LPb][PbBr4] (5) has been determined: Crystal data: orthorhombic, space group P212121, a = 853.2(6), b = 1000.1(4), c = 1860(1) pm, Z = 4. Pb2+ in the [LPb]2+ cation is seven-coordinated by the tridentate ligand and a square of four Br- ions. The Pb-S distance, 286.0(5) pm, is rather short, the lone pair stereochemically activ. The PbBr4- ions are polymeric with octahedrally coordinated lead(II) atoms.
