For the synthesis of oxytocin (Ia) analogues modified in the carboxyterminal part of the molecule, a method based on the condensation of protected aminoterminal hexapeptide with tripeptides by the action of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and pentafluorophenol in the presence of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole was devised. Using this method [7-[U-13C]proline]oxytocin (Ib), des-9-glycine-oxytocin (Ic) and methyl ester of oxytocinoic acid ([9-glycine methyl ester]oxytocin) (Id) were prepared.

Pharmacokinetic studies of cocaine have been carried out only in the last decade, although its local anesthetic action and addictive properties have been known for almost 100 years. Elimination half-lives of cocaine in man estimated from serial plasma concentration are relatively short and range from 0.5 to 1.1 h after i.v. and 0.9–1.5 h after administration by the nasal or oral route. The bioavailability after nasal inhalation is about 60%. The bicyclic structure of cocaine is characterized by functional groups including N-methyl, carboxyl methyl ester, and benzoyl ester, which are susceptible to biotransformation. Hydrolysis of the benzoyl group to ecgonine methyl ester is catalyzed by plasma cholinesterase and is thus under monogenic control. The hydrolytic cleavage of the other ester group, methyl ester, to benzoyl ecgonine occurs spontaneously at body temperature. In contrast, N-demethylation of cocaine mediated by microsomal cytochrome P-450 produces norcocaine and this metabolite was shown to be pharmacologically active, the action being similar to cocaine.Key words: cocaine, hydrolysis, plasma cholinesterase, cytochrome P-450.

Synthetic ways to introduce functional groups (CO2Me, CO2H, OCH2CO2H, OCH2C≡CH, CH2OH, CH2Cl, CH2N3) into the pyridine ring of pyridine-containing azacrown compounds are described. These groups were introduced at position-4 of the pyridine ring, while keeping the macrocyclic carboxylate groups available for metal chelation. The derivatives were obtained by macrocyclization reaction of 4-substituted, trimethyl pyridine-2,4,6-tricarboxylate or by modification of methyl ester group in pyridine fragment of macrocycles. Obtained derivatives can be applied for preparing radiotherapeutic agents by conjugation to different vector biomolecules for targeted drug delivery to cancer cells without damaging healthy tissue.

In the title compound, C22H32O4, the atoms of the methyl ester group and the alkoxy O atoms are all coplanar with the central aromatic ring, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.008 Å. Bonds to the methylene and cyclohexyl groups are also very close to this plane, so that the molecule is essentially flat, apart from the cyclohexyl groups. The mean planes through the cyclohexyl groups are tilted by 30.08 (9) and 36.14 (7)° with respect to the central aromatic ring. In the crystal, pairs of molecules linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds form planar units which are stacked along theaaxis, with an average interplanar distance of 3.549 (2) Å. Stacking appears to be stabilized by further weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds.

Abstract A new method for the determination of the artificial sweetener aspartame is described. α-Chymotrypsin is used to cleave the methyl ester group of aspartame, producing methanol hydrolytically. The methanol is detected using an electrode which is constructed by physically trapping yeast alcohol oxidase enzyme at the tip of a dissolved oxygen electrode. The decrease in oxygen concentration, which occurs as methanol is enzymatically oxidized to formaldehyde, is measured amperometrically. Aspartame levels in diet soft drinks as determined by the proposed method and by liquid chromatography are in excellent agreement. The relative standard deviation of the measurements is 0.83%. The methanol present in diet cola as a result of aspartame degradation can also be measured by using the electrode without α-chymotrypsin.
