Synthesis of 13C-Dehydrocoelenterazine and NMR Studies on the Bioluminescence of a Symplectoteuthis Model
摘要:
The bioluminescence of luminous squid (Symplectoteuthis oualaniensis) is presumed to be initiated by the addition of the sulfhydryl residue of a photoprotein to dehydrocoelenterazine (DCL). To clarify this step, a novel synthetic route was established to label DCL with C-13. Dithiothreitol (DTT) and glutathione (GSH) were used as photoprotein models. The addition of DTT and GSH to C-13-labeled DCL gave luminous chromophores. Its structures were confirmed by NMR and MS spectrometry. The DTT adduct emitted light under alkaline condition to produce an oxidized compound. Thus we succeeded in modeling the bioluminescence of a photoprotein with DTT. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

2-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octanes were obtained in good yield via pi-alkyne complexes. On the other hand, treatment of the same substrates with a catalytic amount of W(CO)6 in the presence of n-Bu3N under the same reaction conditions gave 3-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octanes in good yield exclusively via vinylidenecomplexes. Thus, the pi-alkyne and vinylidenecomplex pathways are easily controlled by using a catalytic amount
to its apoprotein. To prove this mechanism, we have established new synthetic route to ca. 100%-13C incorporated dehydrocoelenterazine and coelenterazine at the neighboring carbon of the 2-position of 2,3-dihydroimidazo-[1,2a]-pyrazinone skeleton. This 13C enriched dehydrocoelenterazine readily converted in equilibrium between its adduct forms as a diastereomixture with glutathione (GSH) or dithiothreitol
