Model Systems for Flavoenzyme Activity: One- and Two-Electron Reduction of Flavins in Aprotic Hydrophobic Environments
摘要:
The processes occurring during the electrochemically irreversible reduction of flavins in aprotic organic medium have been the cause of considerable controversy. To provide insight into these events we have investigated the reduction of flavins alkylated at N(3). We have demonstrated that the reversible reduction of N(3)-methylated flavin can be converted to the irreversible reduction observed with unalkylated flavins through addition of the weak external proton donor phthalimide. Proton transfer to the flavin radical anion generated at the electrode leads to partial formation of the neutral flavin radical; which is instantaneously further reduced to the fully reduced flavin anion. This mirrors the reduction of unalkylated flavins, where the proton source is the imide proton at N(3) of fully oxidized flavin in bulk solution. Simultaneous electrochemistry and EPR experiments confirm the disappearance of electrogenerated flavin radical anion both methylated and non-methylated at N(3), upon addition of phthalimide. UV/vis spectroelectrochemistry likewise confirmed the generation of the radical anion in the absence of proton donors and fully reduced flavin in the presence of proton donors.
Synthesis and Structure-Activity Relationships of Substituted 2-((2-Imidazolylsulfinyl)methyl)anilines as a New Class of Gastric H+/K+ -ATPase Inhibitors. II.
2-[(2-imidazolylsulfinyl)methyl]anilines (2) having various substituents on their imidazole and aniline rings was synthesized and examined for their H+/K(+)-ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) inhibitory effects and antisecretory activity against histamine-stimulated gastric acid secretions in Heidenhain pouch dogs. Although substitutions on the imidazole ring did not enhance biological activity, substitutions

Abstract A one-pot, simple, selective, and efficient protocol for the synthesis of aromatic secondary amines from various nitro arenes and nitriles in the presence of 10% Pd/C catalyst under H2 at atmosphericpressure and ambient temperature in tetrahydrofuran is illustrated. The scope and limitations of this method have been examined.
