Approaches to protection against nerve agent poisoning. (Naphthylvinyl)pyridine derivatives as potential antidotes
摘要:
Analogues of the potent inhibitor of choline acetyltransferase (CAT) (E)-4-(1-naphthylvinyl)pyridine methiodide were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to inhibit CAT and protect against nerve agent intoxication. Several compounds, notably (E)-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-(1-naphthylvinyl)pyridinium bromide (3), (E)-1-methyl-4-(1-naphthylvinyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine hydrochloride (22), and (E)-1-methyl-4-(1-naphthylvinyl)piperidine hydrochloride (23), were found to afford significant protection against sarin in the mouse and against soman in the guinea pig. However, protection was apparently not related to CAT inhibition. Compound 23, our most effective compound in protecting against nerve agent, was without CAT inhibitory activity. Compound 22, which proved to be a potent CAT inhibitor, most likely owed this activity to being dehydrogenated back to the pyridinium quaternary salt by oxidative enzymes. Several of the (naphthylvinyl)pyridine quaternary salts, but not their tertiary amine analogues, were found to be effective in slowing the rate of aging of soman-inhibited acetylcholinesterase. Ability to slow the rate of aging was enhanced by introduction of methoxy substituents on the aryl moiety whereas the aging rate was actually accelerated by chloro substituents. To date, our most effective compound in slowing the rate of aging, (E)-4-[(4-methoxy-1-naphthyl)vinyl]pyridine methochloride (6), did not provide significant protection against soman in the mouse.

The interaction of a number of cationic dyes (I) with a varying number of methylene groups (Cn) in the alkyl chain attached to pyridyl nitrogen with a cationic surfactant (CTAB) assembly is reported. The binding constant of the dyes (C5 to C18) with the micelle have been calculated, and are found to increase with increasing carbon chain. A plot of the binding constant vs. the chain length shows a curve with a maximum for C16, which is attributed to a compatibility factor. From studies of the electronic and emission spectra it is proposed that a micelle has a hydrophobic force field and that the dyes are localized in various pockets of the field.
Aggregation of polar merocyaninedyes has been identified as an important problem in the fabrication of organic materials for photonic applications. In this work, a series of merocyaninedyes is synthesized, and their aggregation is investigated by a combination of several experimental techniques to reveal structure-property relationships. These studies provide clear evidence for the formation of centrosymmetric

concentrations, or temperature profoundly influenced the order of aggregation of the gelator molecules in aqueous solution. Formation of a novel chromophore assembly in this way leads to an aggregation‐induced switch of the emission colors. The emission color switches from sky blue to white to orange depending upon the extent of aggregationthrough mere addition of external inorganic salts. Remarkably, the
