When 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-D-glucopyranose, -D-galactopyranose and 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-D-xylopyranose were allowed to react in the cold in dichloromethane or acetonitrile as solvent in the presence of trifluoromethanesulfonic (triflic) anhydride, with methyl or benzyl esters of the N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-L-serine, -L-threonine, and -L-hydroxyproline, an anomeric mixture of the corresponding O-glycosylaminoacids was obtained (55 to 90% overall yield), with the α-anomer being predominant. The same experimental procedure was successfully applied to the condensation of the benzyl ester of the N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-L-hydroxyproline with 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-L-arabinopyranose and 2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-L-arabinofuranose affording the corresponding condensation products with similar yield. Pure α and β anomers were obtained after column chromatography or crystallization with 30 to 65% yield. Hydrogenolysis of benzyl derivatives afforded the unprotected compounds. Optical rotation, 1H and 13C nmr were the main methods used to assess structure and stereochemistry.

3β-Acetoxy-21,22-dioxo-18α,19βH-ursan-28,20β-olide (IIIa) reacts with acetic anhydride in pyridine under very mild conditions affording β-lactone IVa and γ-lactones Va and VIIa as condensation products. On reaction with pyridine, lactones Va and VIIa undergo elimination of acetic acid to give unsaturated lactones VIIIa and IXa, respectively. Similarly, the condensation of 20β,28-epoxy-21,22-dioxo-18α,19βH-ursan-3β-yl acetate (IIIb) with acetic anhydride leads to β-lactone IVb and γ-lactone Vb; the latter on heating with pyridine affords unsaturated lactone VIIIb and 21-methylene-22-ketone Xb. The structure of the obtained compounds was derived using spectral methods, particularly 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy; structure of lactone IVa was confirmed by X-ray diffraction.

Condensation of salicylaldehyde with enantiopure (R)-(1-aryl-ethyl)amines yields the enantiopure Schiff bases (R)-N-(1-aryl-ethyl)salicylaldimine (HSB*; aryl = phenyl, 2-methoxyphenyl, 3- methoxyphenyl, 4-methoxyphenyl (4), 4-bromophenyl (5), 2-naphthyl). These Schiff bases readily react with dinuclear (acetato)(η4-cycloocta-1,5-diene)rhodium(I), [Rh(μ-O2CMe)(η4-cod)]2, to afford the mononuclear complexes, cyclooctadiene-((R)-N-(1-aryl-ethyl)salicylaldiminato-κ2N,O)- rhodium(I), [Rh(SB∗)(η4-cod)] (SB* = deprotonated chiral Schiff base = salicylaldiminate; aryl = phenyl (7), 2-methoxyphenyl, 4-methoxyphenyl, 4-bromophenyl, 2-naphthyl). The complexes have been characterized by IR, UV/vis, 1H/13C NMR and mass spectrometry, optical rotation as well as by single-crystal X-ray structure determination for 4, 5 and 7. The structure of 5 shows C-Br· · ·π contacts. Compound 7 is only the second example of a Rh(η4-cod) complex with a six-membered Rh-N,O-chelate ring

The comparative effects of the nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitors N omega-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA), N omega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), and N omega-nitro-L-arginine benzyl ester (L-NABE) on baseline tone and on vasodilator responses to acetylcholine (ACh), bradykinin (BK), and substance P (SP) were compared in the pulmonary vascular bed of the cat under constant flow conditions. After administration of the NO synthase inhibitors in intravenous doses of 100 mg/kg, the increase in lobar arterial pressure and the attenuation of vasodilator responses to ACh, BK, and SP were similar, whereas responses to adenosine and felodipine, endothelium-independent vasodilator agents, were not altered. In addition to inhibiting responses to ACh, BK, and substance P, the NO synthase inhibitors enhanced vasodilator responses to S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine and NO. Moreover, atropine inhibited pulmonary vasodilator responses to ACh but not to SP or BK, and L-NAME or L-NABE had no effect on the decrease in heart rate in response to efferent vagal stimulation, a muscarinic receptor-mediated response that is independent of NO release. The similar inhibitory effects of L-NNA, L-NAME, and L-NABE on vasodilator responses to ACh, BK, and SP suggest that the L-arginine analogue, L-NNA, as well as the methyl and benzyl esters of L-NNA are useful probes for studying NO-mediated endothelium-dependent responses in the pulmonary vascular bed of the intact-chest cat.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

From leaves and bulbs of Ornithogalum nutans L. (2 n = 28), seventeen cardenolides were isolated by column chromatography, DCCC and TLC. The structure elucidation was performed by means of 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HH-Cosy, HC-Cosy and FAB-MS studies and identification of the sugar moieties by GLC after acid hydrolysis of the cardenolides. Sugar compounds were identified as digitoxose, 3-acetyl-digitoxose, 2-deoxy-allose, 6-deoxy-allose, rhamnose, xylose and apiose. Glycosides of 7β,15β, 16 α-trihydroxy-uzarigenin, 8β,16 α-dihy-droxy, 15-oxo-uzarigenin, 3 β, 11β-dihydroxy, 12-oxo, 18-nor-5 α-card-13-enolid, 11 α-hydroxygitoxigenin, 12-oxo,8, 14β-epoxy-uzarigenin, 8β-hydroxy, 15-oxo-uzarigenin and 12β-hydroxy-oleandrigenin are described for the first time, the presence of oleandrigenin-glycosides in the genus Ornithogalum was not known until now. Ornithogalum nutans L. shows a different cardenolide pattern from the second European species of the section Myogalum (LINK) PETERM. - Ornithogalum boucheanum (KUNTH) ASCHERS.

From the leaf exudate of Aloe lateritia ENGLER the C-glucosyl com pounds homonataloin, aloeresin A and aloesin (synon. aloeresin B) were isolated together with the anthraquinone nataloeem odin-8-methylether and spectroscopically identified. Hom onataloin, widely distributed in Aloe species, was separated into homonataloin A and B by combined TLC and DCCC. In their 1 D and 2D 1H NMR spectra only the shifts of the 2′-hydroxyl protons of both glucosyl residues differ significantly, indicative of 10 S (A) resp. 10 S (B) configurations. In both com pounds the anthrone is in β-position of the D-glucopyranosyl, as determined by the large coupling constants of the anomeric protons. The 13C NMR signals are unambiguously assigned by the use of DEPT, APT and gated-decoupling methods. Only the chemical shifts of C -11 and C -14 show significant differences between both diastereomers due to the adjacent 2′-sugar hydroxyls. The two homonataloins differ mostly in optical rotation and circulardichroism due to different configurations at C - 10 of the anthrone part. The absolute configurations of the diastereomers are determined by correlation of their CD spectra with the CD spectra of the structural analogues 7-hydroxyaloins A and B, which shows that hom onataloin A is the 10 S, 1′S-compound and that homonataloin B has 10 R, 1′S-configuration.

Imatinib, an Abelson (ABL) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is a lead molecular-targeted drug against chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). To overcome its resistance and adverse effects, new inhibitors of ABL kinase are needed. Our previous study showed that the benzyl ester of gypsogenin (1c), a pentacyclic triterpene, has anti-ABL kinase and a subsequent anti-CML activity. To optimize its activities, benzyl esters of carefully selected triterpenes (PT1–PT6), from different classes comprising oleanane, ursane and lupane, and new substituted benzyl esters of gypsogenin (GP1–GP5) were synthesized. All of the synthesized compounds were purified and charachterized by different spectroscopic methods. Cytotoxicity of the parent triterpenes and the synthesized compounds against CML cell line K562 was examined; revealing three promising compounds PT5, GP2 and GP5 (IC50 5.46, 4.78 and 3.19 μM, respectively). These compounds were shown to inhibit extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) downstream signaling, and induce apoptosis in K562 cells. Among them, PT5 was identified to have in vitro activity (IC50 = 1.44 μM) against ABL1 kinase, about sixfold of 1c, which was justified by molecular docking. The in vitro activities of GP2 and GP5 are less than PT5, hence they were supposed to possess other more mechanisms of cytotoxicity. In general, our design and derivatizations resulted in enhancing the activity against ABL1 kinase and CML cells.

Benzyl esters of fatty acids based on three types of vegetable oils (i.e., coconut, palm, and soybean oils) were in-house prepared. They were used as alternative rubber processing oil to replace conventional aromatic oil which has been banned by European community since December 2009. Fatty acids were first prepared by hydrolysis of vegetable oils and thereafter esterified with benzyl alcohol in the presence of sulfuric acid as a catalyst. The reaction based on molar ratio of fatty acid:benzyl alcohol:sulfuric acid was set at 1.5:1.0:0.05 gave yield of benzyl esters higher than 80%. Rubber compounds containing different types of benzyl ester were prepared according to the standard formulation of ASTM 3184. It was found that the processing oil in the form of benzyl esters is possible to use instead of aromatic oil in rubber formulation. Various parameters and properties include mixing energy, Mooney viscosity, curing, mechanical and dynamic mechanical properties of rubber compounds and vulcanizates have been investigated.

A number of epoxysuccinyl amino acid benzyl esters (HO-Eps-AA-OBzl) and benzyl amides (HO-Eps-AA-NHBzl) (where AA represents amino acid) were synthesized as analogues of E64, a naturally occurring inhibitor of cysteine proteinases. These inhibitors were designed to evaluate if selectivity for cathepsin B could be achieved by varying the amino acid on the basis of known substrate specificity. Contrary to the situation with substrates, it was found that variation of the amino acid in the E64 analogues does not lead to major changes in the kinetic parameter kinac./Ki and that the specificity of these analogues does not parallel that observed for substrates. This is particularly true in the case of the benzyl ester derivatives where the deviation from substrate-like behaviour is more important than with the benzyl amide derivatives. The results suggest that the amide proton of the benzyl amide group in HO-Eps-AA-NHBzl interacts in the S2 subsite in both cathepsin B and papain and contributes to increase the potency of these inhibitors. The kinetic data also suggest that differences in the orientation of the C alpha-C beta bond of the side chain in the S2 subsite of the enzyme might explain the differences between substrate and E64 analogue specificities. This hypothesis is supported by the fact that the order of inactivation rates with chloromethane inhibitors (which are believed to be good models of enzyme-substrate interactions) is indeed very similar to that observed with the corresponding amidomethylcoumarin substrates. In conclusion, the information available from S2-P2 interactions with substrates cannot be used to enhance the selectivity of the E64 analogues in a rational manner.
