Artificial Metalloesterases Constructed by Site-Directed Attachment of Oximinato Metal Centers to Poly(ethylenimine) Containing β-Cyclodextrin
摘要:
In an effort to establish a methodology for construction of active sites of artificial enzymes, site-directed attachment of 2,6-diacetylpyridineketoxime (III) to poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) containing beta-cyclodextrin (CD) was attempted. The site-directed functionalization exploited a t-butylphenyl ester (1) of a carboxylic acid containing a precursor of III. Anchoring of the t-butylphenyl group of I by the CD portion followed by transfer of III moiety to an amino group located in the vicinity of the CD moiety would lead to introduction of III in proximity to the CD moiety. By acylation in DMSO of CD-PEI with the phenyl ester (II), instead of the t-butylphenyl ester, III was introduced randomly to CD-PEI. In the presence of the Ni(II) or Zn(II) complex of the III-containing CD-PEI prepared by either the site-directed or the random functionalization method, ester hydrolysis of 4-(4'-acetoxy-phenylazo)benzenesulfonate (TV) was considerably enhanced. Analysis of the kinetic data measured at various pHs revealed that k(cat) for the PEI derivative prepared by site-directed modification was three to six times greater than that by random modification. The results were taken to indicate that I transferred III to the vicinity of the CD moiety of CD-PEI, but that orientation of III and the CD cavity in the resulting PEI derivative was not very productive for deacylation of IV complexed by the CD cavity.

Simple azo-dyes carrying phosphonic acid and arsonicacid substituents such as 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl azo)phenylphosphonic acid (5) and 4-(4-hydroxyphenylazo)phenylarsonic acid (6) bind more strongly to high surface area oxides such as aluminium trihydroxide and goethite than their carboxylic and sulfonic acid analogues and the phosphonate-functionalized dyes have been shown to have greater humidity fastness
Novel thermochromic and/or photochromic compositions are described. The thermochromic compositions include a thermoset resin, cholesterol, water, and dye, while photochromic compositions include a benzene and a binder, such as silica gel. When mixed, the ingredients of the thermochromic and photochromic compositions form chromic cells with an outer shell comprised of either the thermoset resin (in the case of thermochromic compositions) or potassium nitrate (in the case of photochromic compositions). When the chromic compositions are exposed to either a heat or light stimulus, the chromic cells compress to causing the dye within the cells to no longer be visible, thereby creating a color-changing effect.
