Flight muscle and fat body extracts from Locusta migratoria were incubated with D-[U-14C]-glucose or D-[3-3H]-3-deoxy-3-fluoroglucose and the products were analyzed. In the case of the latter compound, radio-chromatographic analysis yielded glycogen and trehalose fractions that were shown by19F nuclear magnetic resonance to contain fluorine. Acid hydrolysis of these fractions liberated tritium labelled 3-deoxy-3-fluoro-D-glucose. In addition to the formation of “fluoroglycogen” and “fluorotrehalose” in these tissue extracts, there was an accumulation of tritium labelled fructose.

Abstract 6-Thioguanine and 6-methylmercaptopurine (Me6-MP) nucleotides are the two major thiopurine metabolites of azathioprine found in erythrocytes. During the acid hydrolysis required for the conversion of thiopurine nucleotides into their free bases, Me6-MP was converted into a compound that could be analyzed on a Purospher RP18-e column with dihydrogen phosphate-methanol buffer as eluent. The pH of the acid extract strongly influenced the conversion of Me6-MP into its derivative. The Me6-MP derivative was identified using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry and infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometric methods. During the acid hydrolysis of thiopurine nucleotides in erythrocytes, Me6-MP undergoes degradation, leading to 4-amino-5-(methylthio)carbonyl imidazole.

The aim of this study was to characterize hydrolyzable tannins in Polygonaceous plants, as only a few plants have previously been reported to contain ellagitannins. From Persicaria chinensis, a new hydrolyzable tannin called persicarianin was isolated and characterized to be 3-O-galloyl-4,6-(S)-dehydrohexahydroxydiphenoyl-d-glucose. Interestingly, acid hydrolysis of this compound afforded ellagic acid, despite the absence of a hexahydroxydiphenoyl group. From the rhizome of Polygonum runcinatum var. sinense, a large amount of granatin A, along with minor ellagitannins, helioscpoinin A, davicratinic acids B and C, and a new ellagitannin called polygonanin A, were isolated. Based on 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic examination, the structure of polygonanin A was determined to be 1,6-(S)-hexahydroxydiphenoyl-2,4-hydroxychebuloyl-β-d-glucopyranose. These are the second and third hydrolyzable tannins isolated from Polygonaceous plants. In addition, oligomeric proanthocyanidins of Persicaria capitatum and P. chinensis were characterized by thiol degradation. These results suggested that some Polygonaceous plants are the source of hydrolyzable tannins not only proanthocyanidins.

Diastereoisomeric 1,2-orthoacetates of D-mannose are formed under conditions of the Königs–Knorr synthesis. This is shown by the isolation of two crystalline isomers of β-D-mannose 1,2-(benzyl orthoacetate), and also by examination of the nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectra of several D-mannose orthoacetates. The diastereoisomers show notable differences in respective chemical shifts for the C-methyl and other protons and these variations, together with isomer-ratio data, suggest that the major isomer of a given pair possesses the configuration in which the C-methyl group is endo- and the OR group is exo-. On acid hydrolysis the orthoacetates yield mainly 2-O-acetyl-D-mannose, the structure of which is confirmed by n.m.r. spectral evidence.

Salmonella madelia reported to express the O-antigenic factors 1, 6, 14, and 25, defined in the Kauffmann–White classification system, was found to produce three different homogeneous lipopolysaccharides, which differed in having three structurally distinct O-polysaccharide components. The O-polysaccharide fraction obtained by mild acetic acid hydrolysis of the S. madelia lipopolysaccharide was analyzed by chemical composition, nitrous acid deamination, periodate oxidation, methylation, and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance methods and was demonstrated to be composed of three polysaccharides, PS(I), PS(II), and PS(III), which had the structures of repeating oligosaccharide units:[Formula: see text]Key words: Salmonella madelia, lipopolysaccharide, structure, analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance.
