Twelve derivatives 1a–1m of the β-crinane-type alkaloid haemanthamine were developed. All the semisynthetic derivatives were studied for their inhibitory potential against both acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase. In addition, glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β) inhibition potency was evaluated in the active derivatives. In order to reveal the availability of the drugs to the CNS, we elucidated the potential of selected derivatives to penetrate through the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Two compounds, namely 11-O-(2-methylbenzoyl)-haemanthamine (1j) and 11-O-(4-nitrobenzoyl)-haemanthamine (1m), revealed the most intriguing profile, both being acetylcholinesterase (hAChE) inhibitors on a micromolar scale, with GSK-3β inhibition properties, and predicted permeation through the BBB. In vitro data were further corroborated by detailed inspection of the compounds’ plausible binding modes in the active sites of hAChE and hBuChE, which led us to provide the structural determinants responsible for the activity towards these enzymes.

Nine new Tammelin esters were studied on the basis of the chloroform extracts of their ion associates with bromophenol blue. A study was made of the effect of the alkyl on the amino and amido groups of dialkylaminoethyl dialkylamidofluorophosphate and on the extraction efficiency of the ion pair. An increase in the number of carbon atoms on the amide group leads to the increase in the extraction efficiency of the ion pairs as a consequence of the increasing hydrophobicity. A further contribution to the increase in the extraction efficiency with increasing number of carbon atoms in the alkyls of the amino nitrogen is clearly retarded by the increasing basicity of the amino group. An extraction spectrophotometric determination of the test derivatives of dialkylaminoethyl dialkylamidofluorophosphate was developed and the interferences from precursors in the synthesis were examined.

The isoelectric points of erabutoxins a, b and c, neurotoxic proteins of a sea snake, Laticauda semifasciata, were determined by density-gradient isoelectric focusing. The same measurement was also made with monoacyl derivatives of erabutoxin b, in which each one of all amino groups had been either acetylated or propionylated. Erabutoxins a and b showed the same isoelectric point at pH 9.68. The values for [1-N alpha-acetyl-arginine]-, [15-N6-acetyl-lysine]-, [27-N6-acetyl-lysine]-, [47-N6-propionyl-lysine]- and [51-N6-acetyl-lysine]-erabutoxin b were at pH 9.52, 9.31, 9.45, 9.22 and 9.09 respectively, being definitely different from each other and lower than the value for the unmodified molecule. The isoelectric point of erabutoxin c, which is [51-asparagine]-erabutoxin b, was the same as that of [51-N6-acetyl-lysine]erabutoxin b. Assuming that no change in pK occurs on monoacylation, the pK values of amino groups in erabutoxin b were calculated from the isoelectric-point data. It is indicated that the pK values of zeta-amino groups differ markedly from each other and that the value of alpha-amino group is anomalously high.

The N-dichloroacetyl derivatives of DL-serine and DL-threonine were prepared by the Schotten–Baumann reaction from the amino acids and dichloroacetyl chloride. Negative ninhydrin tests coupled with elementary analyses indicated that only the amino group was acylated. The ester derivatives of these compounds were prepared either by esterification of the N-dichloroacetyl-DL-amino acid with diazomethane or by the reaction of the amino acid ester with dichloroacetyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine. The sodium salts and the esters were tested for antitumor activity against sarcoma 37 in mice and Walker carcinoma 256 in rats. In both cases regression of the tumors was obtained.

The analysis of the variation in the mutation rate in the fractionated progeny of treated males, revealed a marked differential cell stage response to the various chemical series investigated. The mustard derivatives of amino-acids (particularly L-phenylalanine) exert their minimal mutagenicity on mature sperm, but possess an appreciable activity on other stages of spermatogenesis, including spermatogonia. The carboxylic-acid mustards produce their maximal effect on an early spermatid, but are practically ineffective on spermatocytes and spermatogonia. The amine mustard corresponding to the phenylalanine derivative is effective on the stages of spermiogenesis (including the early spermatids) as well as on the spermatocytes, but is inactive on the spermatogonia (at least the primary stages). The response of the gonia, therefore, is a function of the amino-acid moeity of the mutagen, and is not merely due to the presence of an amino-group in the molecule.
