Unidirectional [14C]HCO3- and 36Cl- efflux from human red cells and ghosts was studied under self-exchange conditions at pH 7.8 and 0 degrees C by means of the Millipore-Swinnex filtering technique. Control bicarbonate experiments showed that 14CO2 loss from the cells to the efflux medium was insignificant. The anion flux was determined under (a) symmetric variations of the anion concentration (C(i) = C(o) = 5-700 mM), and (b) asymmetric conditions with CAn constant on one side and varied on the other side of the membrane. Simple Michaelis-Menten-like kinetics (MM fit: J(eff) = J(eff)max.C/(K1/2 + C)) was used to describe anion flux dependence on C for (a) C(i) = C(o) = 5-100 mM, (b) C(i) = 6-100 mM, C(o) = constant, and (c) C(i) = constant, C(o) = 1-25 mM. At higher cellular concentrations noncompetitive self-inhibition by anion binding (inhibition constant Ki mM) to an intracellular site was included in the model (MS fit): J(eff) = J(eff)max.C(i)/[(K1/2 + C(i)).(1 + C(i)/Ki)]. The MM fits show that the external half-saturation constant, Ko1/2 ( = C(o)An for J(eff,o) = 1/2.j(eff,o)max) at C(o) = 1-25 mM is 1.5-2.4 mM (HCO3-) and 1.8-2.6 mM (Cl-). At C(o) = 1-260 mM Ko1/2 is 1.2-1.5 mM (HCO3-) and 1.4-1.8 mM (Cl-). The respective maximum flux, J(eff,o)max (nmol/[cm2.s]), for C(o) = 1-25 mM is 0.41-0.51 (HCO3-) and 0.28-0.38 (Cl-), and for C(o) = 1-260 mM 0.39-0.44 (HCO3-) and 0.27-0.31 (Cl-). The internal half-saturation constant, Ki1/2 mM is: MM fit (C(i) = 6-100 mM, C(o) = 50 mM), 18.0 mM (HCO3-) and 23.8 mM (Cl-); MS fit (C(i) = 6-920 mM, C(o) = 50 mM), 32.0 mM (HCO3-) and 45.1 mM (Cl-). The maximum flux, J(eff,i)max (nmol/[cm2.s]) is: MM fit; 0.50 (HCO3-) and 0.34 (Cl-); MS fit, 0.70 (HCO-3) and 0.50 (Cl-). The half-inhibition constants of the MS fit, Ki, are 393 mM (HCO3-) and 544 mM (Cl-). The MM fit shows that the symmetric half-saturation constant, Ks1/2, is 20.2 (HCO-3) and 23.9 (Cl-) mM, and J(eff,s)max is 0.51 (HCO3-) and 0.32 (Cl-) nmol/(cm2.s). The MS fit shows that for C = 5-700 mM Ks1/2 is 30.4 nM (HCO3-) and 50.1 mM (Cl-), and Ki is 541 mM (HCO3-) and 392 mM (Cl-).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

SummaryIn a thrombin generation test with continuous registration of thrombin activity in plasma we studied the ability of a variety of thrombin inhibitors of different type and mechanism of action to influence the activity of thrombin after activation of the coagulation system. Depending on the inhibitor, the peak of thrombin activity is delayed and/or reduced.By blocking the active site of generated thrombin inhibitors cause a concentration dependent reduction of the thrombin peak and inhibit feed-back reactions of thrombin resulting in a delay of thrombin generation. Highly potent synthetic active-site directed inhibitors (Ki ≤ 20 nM) reduce the thrombin activity formed in plasma after extrinsic or intrinsic activation with the same efficiency (IC50 0.1 - 0.6 μM) as hirudin. The delay and reduction of thrombin generation by inhibitors of the anion-binding exosite 1 of thrombin is only attributed to an inhibition of feed-back reactions of thrombin. For a 50% reduction of thrombin activity in plasma by this type of inhibitors relatively high concentrations were determined.

<div>We report the synthesis of a novel macrocyclic host molecule that forms in a single step from commercially available starting materials. The core of the macrocycle backbone possesses two quinone rings and, thus, is redox-active. Host-guest binding involving the clip-shaped cavity indicates selective binding of pyridine <i>N</i>-oxides based of the electron density of and steric bulk of the anionic oxygen.</div>

A new series of π-extended quinone derivatives containing a pyrrole bridge exhibited NH/OH-type tautomerization and anion binding along with deprotonation that induced near-infrared absorption and ion-pairing assemblies.

Anion binding and extraction from solutions is currently a dynamic research topic in the field of supramolecular chemistry. A particularly challenging task is the extraction of anions with large hydration energies, such as the carbonate ion. Carbonate-binding complexes are also receiving increased interest due to their relevance to atmospheric CO2 fixation. Nanojars are a class of self-assembled, supramolecular coordination complexes that have been shown to bind highly hydrophilic anions and to extract even the most hydrophilic ones, including carbonate, from water into aliphatic solvents. Here we present an expanded nanojar that is able to bind two carbonate ions, thus doubling the previously reported carbonate-binding capacity of nanojars. The new nanojar is characterized by detailed single-crystal X-ray crystallographic studies in the solid state and electrospray ionization mass spectrometric (including tandem MS/MS) studies in solution.
