Values of thermodynamic functions -ΔH, -ΔG, and -ΔS of the complex formation between molecules of pyridine (and its methyl derivatives) and phenol in CCl4 solutions were determined using infrared spectroscopy. After optimalizing experimental conditions the error in -ΔH determination does not exceed 0.2%; this accuracy is sufficiently high to investigate the influence of substituents on the pyridinic nitrogen basicity. The values of -ΔH determined in this way correlate linearly with values of ionization constants of pyridine bases.

SummaryWe examined the effect of the synthetic pentasaccharide representing the minimal binding site of heparin to antithrombin on the antithrombin-mediated inactivation of factor Vila bound to tissue factor. This effect was compared to the effect of unfractionated heparin. Using purified recombinant human coagulation factors and either a clotting or an amidolytic assay for the determination of the residual activity of factor Vila, we showed that the pentasaccharide was an efficient antithrombin-dependent inhibitor of the coagulant activity of tissue factor-factor Vila complex. In our experimental conditions, assuming a mean MW of 14,000 for heparin, the molar pseudo-first order rate constants for ATIII-mediated FVIIa inhibition by ATIII-binding heparin and by the synthetic pentasaccharide were found to be similar with respective values of 104,000 ± 10,500 min-1 and 112,000 ± 12,000 min-1 (mean ± s.e.m., n = 3)
