The redox behaviour of cyclic tetraaminoethenes derived from 2,2′-biimidazole
摘要:
Syntheses and redox chemistry of the nearly unknown 4,4',5,5'-tetraamino derivatives of 2,2'-biimidazole are studied. These cyclic versions of electron-rich ethenes are only stable under strictly anaerobic conditions. In the presence of oxygen, a fast oxidation reaction occurs to form stable, deeply Coloured tetraazafulvalenes. Leuco-forms, however, can be stabilized towards air by acylation reactions. This accounts for the hexa-Boc derivative 6. Based on these findings, we present the first synthesis of tetraazafulvalenes, which possess four peripheric secondary amine functions.

Influence of Fat-Free Mass and Functional Status on Resting Energy Expenditure in Underweight Elders
摘要:
Background. In underweight elders, resting energy expenditure (REE) and its relationship with fat-tree mass (FFM) could be modified by sarcopenia. physical activity, and functional limitation. The aims Of this study were to investigate REE and its relationship with quantity and metabolic activity of FFM and to evaluate the influence of functional status oil REE ill underweight elderly subjects.Methods. Forty-eight underweight elders (BMI < 20) and 54 normal Weight elderly subjects (BMI 20-30) as a control group were selected. Body composition was determined by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). REE was measured by indirect calorimetry. Ability in activities of daily living, (ADLs) was assessed by the Katz index.Results. Underweight elders had significantly lower FFM. FFM index (FFM/height(2)), and REE than healthy Subject. REE adjusted for FFM with analysis of covariance remained significantly lower in the underweight group (1287 +/- 85 vs 1715 +/- 139 kcal/day in men, and 1124 +/- 63 vs 1366 +/- 91 kcal/day in women). Katz index in the underweight group was inverselv correlitted with REE (r = -0.68: p < .001) cven ittfei removid of FFNI. IFNI, and gender, by multiple regression analysis. In this model, FFM and Katz index together explained approximately 54% of REE variability.Conclusions. Underweight elderly subjects show it hypometabolism due to a reduction of both FFM quantity and its metabolic activity. Functional status in ADLs comes out its an important predictor of REE independently from FFM. The limited physical activity might be the underlying determinant of this hypometabolism, but further investigations are necessary to confirm this issue.

A deaminative reductive coupling of amino acid pyridinium salts with aryl bromides has been developed to enable efficient synthesis of noncanonical amino acids and diversification of peptides. This method transforms natural, commercially available lysine, ornithine, diaminobutanoic acid, and diaminopropanoic acid to aryl alanines and homologated derivatives with varying chain lengths. Attractive features
