The uptake and intracellular distribution of haem by isolated rat hepatocyte suspensions was studied. An increase in cell haem content occurred after a challenge with 5, 10 or 20 μM haem, supplied as methaemalbumin. The rate of haem uptake was temperature dependent; no non-specific binding occurred. Intracellular haem distribution data are consistent with a rapid association of haem with the endoplasmic reticulum fraction prior to its accumulation in the cytosol and at the mitochondrion.

Hydride and cyanide addition to a series of di- and polycyclopentadienyliron arene complex cations with etheric bridges is described. Reaction of the di-iron complexes with sodium borohydride resulted in the formation of a number of adducts.p-Methyl- and o,o-dimethylphenoxybenzene cyclopentadienyliron complexes were used as models in this study to allow for the characterization of the analagous di-iron complexes. The use of HH COSY and CH COSY NMR techniques enabled us to identify the isomeric nature of these adducts. The hydride addition results indicated that the etheric substituent had the predominant effect over the methyl group, leading to a higher addition ratio to the meta-, followed by the ortho-, then the para-positions. It was also clear that in the di-iron system, the hydride addition to each complexed arene ring took place independently. The addition of the cyanide anion to di- and poly-iron arene systems was more selective than that of the hydride anion. Reaction of sodium cyanide with p-methyl- or o-methyl-substituted arene complexes led to the formation of one adduct, with the cyanide being added to the meta position to the etheric bridges. However, cyanide addition to the di-iron complex, with a methyl substituent attached at the meta position of each complexed arene, led to the formation of a mixture of adducts. Cyanide addition to the poly-iron system with p-substituted arenes proved to be very selective, allowing for the formation of one adduct. Oxidative demetallation with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) produced the uncomplexed polyaromatic ethers with cyano groups in a very good yield. Key words: cyclopentadienyliron, arene, nucleophilic addition, hydride, cyanide.

A sulphamidase activity present in rat spleen capable of hydrolysing N-[35S]sulphated heparin was studied. This activity was associated with the lysosomal fraction. Studies in vivo showed that the rat is capable of significantly desulphating heparin. Lysosomes in all the major tissues can effectively accumulate heparin. The heparin sulphamidase and arylsulphatase activities from rat spleen were separated by isoelectric focusing. Heparin sulphamidase was a distinct entity from all the arylsulphatase activities.
