N-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)alanine methylamide (I) undergoes base-catalyzed cyclization in methanol to give the spiro adduct II. In aniline-anilinium chloride buffers, the spiro adduct is protonated at the oxygen atom of 2-nitro group to give the neutral compound III. In 4-bromoaniline buffers or by action of methanolic hydrogen chloride, the compound III is opened to E and Z isomers of 2-amino-N-methyl-N-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)propanamide hydrochloride (IV). The rate-limiting step of cyclization of compound Z-IV to compound III consists in the isomerization Z-IV → E-IV. At higher pH values (acetate buffers), the rate-limiting step is gradually changed to the isomerization of 2-amino-N-methyl-N-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)propanamide (Z-V → E-V).

SummaryOrnithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity, the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of polyamines, can be demonstrated in cultured, bovine, aortic endothelial cells (EC). Serum, serotonin and thrombin produce a rise in ODC activity. The serotonin-induced ODC activity is significantly blocked by imipramine (10-5 M) or Lilly 11 0140 (10-6M). Preincubation of EC with these blockers together almost completely depresses the 5-HT-stimulated ODC activity. These observations suggest a manner by which platelets may maintain EC structural and metabolic soundness.

Kinetics of formation of 2-imino-4-thiazolidone from S-ethoxycarbonylmethylisothiouronium chloride has been studied in aqueous buffers and dilute hydrochloric acid. The reaction is subject to general base catalysis, the β value being 0.65. Its rate limiting step consists in acid-catalyzed splitting off of ethoxide ion from dipolar tetrahedral intermediate. At pH < 2 formation of this intermediate becomes rate-limiting; rate constant of its formation is 2 . 104 s-1.

The cyclization kinetics of N-(2-methylcarbonylphenyl)-N’-methylsulfonamide (IIb) into 3-methyl-(1H)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide (Ib) has been studied in ethanolamine, morpholine, and butylamine buffers and in potassium hydroxide solution. The cyclization is subject to general base and general acid catalysis. The value of the Bronsted coefficient β is about 0.1, which indicates that splitting off of the proton from negatively charged tetrahedral intermediate represents the rate-limiting and thermodynamically favourable step. In the solutions of potassium hydroxide the cyclization of dianion of the starting ester IIb probably becomes the rate-limiting step.
