In the ethylation of tRNA from calf liver with (14)C-labeled ENU in vitro, 1,7-diethylguanine was obtained as the main product. ... After in vivo ethylation, the main reaction product isolated from rat liver tRNA was 7-ethylguanine and a pyrimidine nucleotide-like fraction containing a 1,7-diethylguanine derivative with an opened imidazole ring.
NEU is a direct alkylating agent and has been shown to ethylate nucleic acids both in vitro and in vivo. 7-Ethylguanine, 06-ethylguanine, 3-ethyladenine and 7-ethyladenine and ethylphosphate triesters have been detected in rat tissues after administration of NEU in vivo. 06-Ethylguanine was lost from DNA of brain (a target organ) much more slowly than from liver DNA, whereas no such difference was observed for the rate of loss of the other ethylated products.
IDENTIFICATION AND USE: N-Nitroso-N-ethylurea (NEU) is a solid. It is used experimentally as mutagen, and as ethylating agent in the laboratory synthesis of diazoethane. Mutagenic effect has been studied for promoting growth of various plants. HUMAN STUDIES: Treatment of cultured human fibroblasts with NEU induced both chromatid and chromosome aberrations. The effect of NEU on human chromosomes from cultured blood lymphocytes was studied. The incidence of single chromatid and isochromatid breaks, exchanges and multiple breaks in human lymphocytes in vitro was dose-dependent, at doses ranging 25-200 ug/mL. Both O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase and nucleotide excision repair play an important role in protecting human cells from the toxic and mutagenic effects of NEU. ANIMAL STUDIES: Rats were given single oral doses of 10, 20, 40 or 80 mg/kg bw NEU, and malignant neurogenic tumors were induced in the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nervous system in 75/80 animals. Even at the lowest dose, 23/26 animals died with neurogenic tumors (21 with brain tumors). At the highest dose, 9/16 rats had nephroblastomas. Among 39 rats given 60 mg NEU/L of drinking-water on 5 days/week for 52 weeks, the following tumors were observed: 7 tumors of the stomach (3 papillomas, 1 squamous-cell carcinoma and 3 sarcomas, all in males), 9 tumors of the large intestine (6 adenocarcinomas and 3 sarcomas, all in males), 9 adenocarcinomas of the mammary gland (8 in females and 1 in a male) and 12 myelocytic leukemias were observed. A variety of epithelial and mesenchymal embryonal neoplasms of the eye, liver, brain, kidney, muscle and jaw (including neuroectodermal tumors of the eye and nephroblastomas), closely analogous to tumors of human infancy, were found in opossums (Didelphis virginiana Kerr) treated orally from birth to 16 weeks of age with 100 mg/kg bw NEU in either single or split doses. One-day-old mice given single s.c. injections of NEU at dose levels ranging from 10-160 mg/kg bw developed a high incidence of tumors. Monthly i.p. injections of 10 mg/animal NEU for 3 months caused thymic lymphomas in 3/10 adult rats. Monthly treatment with 10 mg/animal for 5 months produced thymic lymphomas in 9/20 treated rats and myeloid leukemias in 5 others. When 30 mg/kg bw NEU were given by i.v. injection to Syrian golden hamsters on day 15 of pregnancy, 14/22 offspring developed tumors, mainly of the nervous system (5 tumors the trigeminal nerve and 11 tumors of the peripheral nerves). No tumors of the brain or spinal cord were observed. Teratogenic effects of NEU on craniofacial development were investigated in rat embryos in vivo, and in vitro using a whole-embryo culture technique. A single intraperitoneal injection of NEU into the pregnant rat on day 9.5 of gestation induced several types of craniofacial malformations. A functional defect (respiratory distress), in addition to morphological defects, was induced in the offspring of male mice treated with NEU before mating. NEU Induces mutations in Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli, lower and higher plants, in Drosophila melanogaster and in other organisms. A mutation yield of 85% X-linked recessive lethal and visible mutations was seen in Drosophila exposed to 4-5 mg NEU.

NEU was rapidly lost from the blood after its i.v. injection, with a half-life of 5-6 minutes. The high chemical reactivity of NEU renders it unlikely that enzymic catalysis is involved in its decomposition.
The tissue-disposition and fate of N-[(14)C]ethyl-N-nitrosourea has been studied in mice. A large part of the injected N-[(14)C]ethyl-N-nitrosourea radioactivity was found to be exhaled as (14)CO2. Whole-body autoradiography showed evenly distributed radioactivity in most tissues shortly after the administration of N-[(14)C]ethyl-N-nitrosourea which probably is due to the homogeneously distributed substance and the non-enzymatically formed ethyl-carbonium ions which have reacted with the tissues. The blood-brain barrier seemed to have a capacity to partially prevent the uptake of the substance in the central nervous system. A high radioactivity was observed in the liver, which may imply that N-[(14)C]ethyl-N-nitrosourea is enzymatically decomposed in this tissue. An observed labelling of kidneys may be connected with urinary excretion of radioactivity. The radioactivity in the liver and kidney decreased at later survival intervals and a distribution pattern appeared, which was characterized by a labelling of tissues with a high protein or steroid synthesis and of fat containing tissues. The distribution pattern corresponded to the one seen after the administration of [(14)C]acetaldehyde and is probably due to normal biosynthetic incorporation of radioactivity in the 2-carbon pool. Pretreatments with pyrazole, nialamide and diethyldithiocarbamate caused a marked inhibition of the exhalation of (14)CO2 and of the incorporation of radioactivity in the liver. This effect may be directed towards the decomposition of N-[(14)C]ethyl-N-nitrosourea itself, but an effect on the metabolism of formed 2-carbon fragments is also possible. The incorporation of radioactivity in other tissues was not influenced by the pretreatments.

norbornene with both diazoalkanes cannot be rationalized on the basis of frontier orbital energies. On direct photolysis, the pyrazolines 2a-g were converted into the tetracyclo[4. 1. 0. 02,4. 03,5] heptanes 4a-g exclusively. These compounds gave the 1, 3, 5-cycloheptatrienes 5a, b, d, e, g in high yields on treatment with silver ions, thus providing better access to 7, 7-dimethyl-(5d) and 7, 7-diphenylcycloheptatriene

Enantiospecific first totalsynthesis of the angulartriquinanesesquiterpene (6S,7R)-silphiperfolan-6-ol has been accomplished, starting from 2-(3-isopropenyl-2-methylene-1-methylcyclopent-1-yl)acetic acid (readily available from (R)-limonene) employing an efficient, regioselective intramolecular rhodium carbenoid insertion into the CH bond of a tertiary methyl group as the key step.

3-aminoaldehydes in good yields and enantioselectivities. This is followed by two easy transformations giving rise to optically active 1,3-aminoalcohols, a common motif in many biologically active compounds, for example, fibrinogen receptor antagonists. Furthermore, optically active alpha,beta-syn-diaminated aldehydes were obtained by the addition of diethylazodicarboxylate in a one-pot reaction.

by five N-alkyl-N-nitrosoureas (methyl-, ethyl-, propyl-, butyl-, and allylnitrosourea) were investigated in 7:3 (v/v) water/dioxane medium in the 5.0–6.5 pH range. Decomposition of alkylnitrosoureas (ANU) gives rise to alkyldiazoniumions that yield NBP-R adducts directly or through carbocations in certain instances. The NBP alkylation rate constants by these species were determined. The following sequence
