A convenient synthesis of 25-deoxyecdysone, a major secretory product of crustacean Y-organs and of 2,25-dideoxyecdysone, its putative immediate precursor
摘要:
25-Deoxyecdysone, a major secretory product of Y-organs of at least several species of crustaceans and the immediate precursor of circulating ponasterone A in these animals, can easily be synthesized from ecdysone. The present four-step procedure involves the formation of a mixture of Delta(24,25) and Delta(25,26) intermediates which might also be used to prepare a labeled reference compound for metabolic or binding studies. Similarly, 2,25-dideoxyecdysone was prepared from 2-deoxyecdysone. These compounds have been used to identify metabolites of [H-3]-2,22,25-trideoxyecdysone (=5 beta-ketodiol) formed by Y-organs of the shore crab, Carcinus maenas.

Pseudomonas
exotoxin A or “PE” is a 66 kD, highly potent, cytotoxic protein secreted by the bacterium
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
. Various forms of PE have been coupled to other proteins, such as antibodies, to generate therapeutically useful cytotoxin conjugates that selectively target cells of a desired phenotype (such as tumor cells). In the present invention, peptides spanning the sequence of an approximately 38 kD form of
Pseudomonas
exotoxin A protein were analyzed for the presence of immunogenic CD4+ T cell epitopes. Six immunogenic T cell epitopes were identified. Residues were identified within each epitope for introduction of targeted amino acid substitutions to reduce or prevent immunogenic T-cell responses in PE molecules which may be administered to a heterologous host.
