Distance Dependence of Photoinduced Electron Transfer in Metalloporphyrin Dimers
摘要:
To study the dynamics and mechanism of intramolecular photoinduced electron transfer (PET) reactions, a series of (Zn-II-Fe-III), meso-tetraarylmetalloporphyrin dimers were synthesized and the kinetics of their PET reactivity was measured. Molecular building blocks were prepared by selective nucleophilic aromatic substitution of a para fluorine on tetraarylporphyrins containing a single pentafluorophenyl group. This synthetic approach allows a wide variety of systematic modifications such as type and length of spacer, metal center, and redox-potential difference between donor and acceptor. The edge-to-edge distance between the two porphyrins varies from 14.4 to 27.3 Angstrom. Into a symmetric dimer, with two identical porphyrins covalently linked by a rigid partly saturated bridge, one zinc(II) and one iron(III) can be inserted. From measurements of fluorescence lifetimes the rate constants for PET from the electronically excited state of the zinc porphyrin to the bis(imidazole)iron porphyrin cation were evaluated. The electron-transfer rate decreases by a factor of only 165 when the distance increases by 13 Angstrom. This small decrease is indicative of a surprisingly weak attenuation of the electronic coupling with distance.
The present invention describes chemicals that have certain properties which cause them to be free or substantially free from endocrine disruptive activity. As a result, the chemicals are useful in producing plastic materials that may be used in products which are exposed to individuals in which endocrine disruptive activity is particularly disadvantageous, such as baby bottles, baby toys, food containers, medical containers, animal cages and medical products. The chemicals may also be useful as food additives which are used in food products that are ingested by individuals in which endocrine disruptive activity is particularly disadvantageous, such as newborns or the physically infirm.

fatty acid is disclosed, such as preferably linoleic acid in all its isomeric forms. The medicament is capable to reduce the accumulation of cholesterol esters, reducing the ACAT enzyme (acyl-coenzyme A: cholesterol acetyltransferase) effect so that monoesters are used for the manufacture of a medicament for treating adrenoleucodistrophy, Alzheimer's disease and arteriosclerosis.

[EN] Compositions for intravenous infusion of istaroxime, or a metabolite of istaroxime, in human patients suffering from heart failure are disclosed. Likewise, methods for extended infusion of istaroxime or its metabolites in individuals with heart failure are disclosed. In particular, some methods disclosed herein include the infusion of istaroxime, or a metabolite thereof, for a period of time that is greater than six hours in order to improve cardiac relaxation without triggering arrhythmogenic events in an individual suffering from heart failure. Other methods include administration of istaroxime until certain plasma concentration thresholds of istaroxime metabolites are achieved. Also disclosed are istaroxime metabolites with selective SERCA2a activation.

De même, l'invention concerne des méthodes permettant une perfusion de longue durée d'istaroxime ou de ses métabolites, chez des individus atteints d'insuffisance cardiaque. En particulier, certaines méthodes selon l'invention comprennent la perfusion d'istaroxime ou d'un métabolite de celle-ci, sur une durée supérieure à six heures en vue d'améliorer la relaxation cardiaque sans déclencher d'événements arythmiques chez un individu souffrant d'insuffisance cardiaque. D'autres méthodes comprennent l'administration d'istaroxime jusqu'à ce que certains seuils de concentration plasmatique des métabolites de l'istaroxime soient atteints. L'invention concerne également des métabolites de l'istaroxime qui ont une capacité à activer de façon sélective la SERCA2a.
