It is shown that measurements of the 1H chemical shifts of amide N–H protons in chloroform and in DMSO solvents are sufficient to determine the extent of hydrogen bonding of the N–H protons in a variety of compounds containing the amide group.

Eignerova and Prochazka found in 1974 the Cotton effect value for 3-methoxy-14α-hydroxy-D-homo-1,3,5(10)-estratrien-17a-one (Ia) to be Δε – 2.76.Calculation of the Δε value for this compound led, however, to a substantially lower value, which suggested the hypothesis that the compound was in fact rather an epimer with the hydroxy group in position 14β. This hypothesis was studied by means of 1H NMR spectra of synthetic models, using the changes of the chemical shifts of angular methyls, induced by in situ acylation of the angular hydroxyl with an α- or β-configuration with trichloroacetyl isocyanate (TAI). The observed TAI-acylation shifts on model compounds indicated the structure Ib with a 14b-configuration of the hydroxyl group. Indenpendent proof has been given by the synthesis of both 14-hydroxy epimers, Ia and Ib. A simple 1H NMR method is proposed for the determination of configuration of the hydroxyl in position 5 or 14 of D-homo-steroid skeleton.

Determination of 15N chemical shifts and heteronuclear coupling constants of substituted 2,2-dimethylpenta-3,4-dienal hydrazones is presented. The chemical shifts were determined by gradient-enhanced inverse-detected NMR techniques and 1H-15N coupling constants were extracted from phase-sensitive gradient-enhanced single-quantum multiple bond correlation experiments. Stereospecific behaviour of the coupling constants 2J(1H,15N) and 1J(1H,13C) has been used to determine the configuration on a C=N double bond. The above-mentioned compounds exist predominantly as E isomers in deuteriochloroform.

This review outlines methods to investigate the structure of natural products with emphasis on intramolecular hydrogen bonding, tautomerism and ionic structures using NMR techniques. The focus is on 1H chemical shifts, isotope effects on chemical shifts and diffusion ordered spectroscopy. In addition, density functional theory calculations are performed to support NMR results. The review demonstrates how hydrogen bonding may lead to specific structures and how chemical equilibria, as well as tautomeric equilibria and ionic structures, can be detected. All these features are important for biological activity and a prerequisite for correct docking experiments and future use as drugs.

Fluorine 19 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies of intracellular fluorinated calcium chelators provide a useful strategy for the determination of cytosolic free calcium levels in cells and perfused organs. However, the fluorinated chelator with the highest affinity for calcium ions which has been described to date. 1,2-bis-(2-amino-5-fluorophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (5FBAPTA), exhibits a dissociation constant (Kd) value 5- to 10-fold greater than the intracellular calcium concentration levels in most cell types, thus limiting the ability of fluorine NMR to report these concentrations reliably. We have consequently designed and synthesized several fluorinated calcium chelators with higher affinity for calcium. The best of these, 2-(2-amino-4-methyl-5-fluorophenoxy)-methyl-8 aminoquinidine-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (quinMF), has a Kd value approximately 10 times lower than that of 5FBAPTA. Several of the newly synthesized indicators have different chemical shifts for the calcium complexed and uncomplexed chelators to allow the simultaneous use of two indicators. In addition to providing information about the level of cytosolic free calcium, chelators containing a quinoline ring exhibit considerable sensitivity to magnesium levels and hence have potential application for the determination of cytosolic-magnesium concentrations. Application of these chelators is illustrated by determination of the cytosolic-free calcium level in erythrocytes. Use of quinMF, the chelator with the lowest Kd value, gives a calcium value of 25-30 nM.
