The structures of istanbulin A (I) and istanbulin B (III), including absolute configurations, have been derived on the basis of spectral methods, primarily a detailed analysis of 1H NMR spectra and circular dichroism measurements. Both substances belong to the type of (4R, 5S,10R)-eremophilan-8,12-olides.

Circular Dichroïsm

Abstract The electronic absorption (UV/VIS), circular dichroism (CD) and proton magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectra have been recorded for C-10 epimeric chlorophylls a and a′, pheophytins a and a′ as well as pheophorbides a and a′. Although the epimers in each pair showed virtually identical UV/VIS spectra, their CD spectra were profoundly different and exhibited opposite signs at most wavelengths in the UV region. The differences were interpreted as arising, in part, from different C-10 configurations, and, in part, from conformational alterations induced by the steric strain in the crowded periphery of the macrocycle. The conformational alterations were also clearly indicated by the 1H NMR Δδ-values observed for the α,β and δ methine protons, the C-10 protons and most methyl group protons of the epimers in each pair. This was considered to imply changes in the geometry of the whole macrocycle. The Δδ-values were larger for the Mg-free epimers than for the chlorophyll epimers, which shows that the central Mg-atom makes the macrocycle more rigid. Correlations between the signs of the CD bands and configurations are discussed.

Urinary Glycoprotein

Much work has been reported on the chemical, physical and morphological properties of urinary Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein (THG). Although it was once reported that cystic fibrotic (CF) individuals had a defective THG, more recent data indicate that THG and CF-THG are similar if not identical.No studies on the conformational aspects have been reported on this glycoprotein using circular dichroism (CD). We examined the secondary structure of THG and derivatives under various conditions and have correlated these results with quaternary structure using electron microscopy.THG was prepared from normal adult males and CF-THG from a 16-year old CF female by the method of Tamm and Horsfall.
