    Synthesis of 1,2,4 oxadiazol-5-imine, 1,2,4-triazol-3-imine and derivatives: A Substituted Cyanamide-based Strategy for Heterocycle Synthesis Shreesha V. Bhat A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Lincoln for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2017 Statement of Originality “I, Shreesha V.

Bhat) ii | P a g e Abstract Considering the importance of nitrogen-rich heterocycles in drug discovery, a novel strategy towards heterocycle synthesis was envisioned using cyanamide chemistry. Synthesis which involve mild conditions, avoids multi-step sequence and non-toxic reagents are desirable for generation of large combinatorial libraries of drug molecules. We envisaged that the NCN linkage of the cyanamide as well as the concomitant use of the nucleo-and electrophilic centres of the cyanamide could provide a novel synthetic route towards nitrogen heterocycles.

    Part One Amino Acids as Building Blocks Amino Acids, Peptides and Proteins in Organic Chemistry. Vol.3 – Building Blocks, Catalysis and Coupling Chemistry. Edited by Andrew B. Hughes Copyright Ó 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim ISBN: 978-3-527-32102-5 j3 1 Amino Acid Biosynthesis Emily J. Parker and Andrew J. Pratt 1.1 Introduction The ribosomal synthesis of proteins utilizes a family of 20 a-amino acids that are universally coded by the translation machinery; in addition, two further a-amino acids, selenocysteine and pyrrolysine, are now believed to be incorporated into proteins via ribosomal synthesis in some organisms. More than 300 other amino acid residues have been identified in proteins, but most are of restricted distribution and produced via post-translational modification of the ubiquitous protein amino acids [1]. The ribosomally encoded a-amino acids described here ultimately derive from a-keto acids by a process corresponding to reductive amination. The most important biosynthetic distinction relates to whether appropriate carbon skeletons are pre-existing in basic metabolism or whether they have to be synthesized de novo and this division underpins the structure of this chapter. There are a small number of a-keto acids ubiquitously found in core metabolism, notably pyruvate (and a related 3-phosphoglycerate derivative from glycolysis), together with two components of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA), oxaloacetate and a-ketoglutarate (a-KG). These building blocks ultimately provide the carbon skeletons for unbranched a-amino acids of three, four, and five carbons, respectively. a-Amino acids with shorter (glycine) or longer (lysine and pyrrolysine) straight chains are made by alternative pathways depending on the available raw materials.

Additionally, chloroplast metabolism results in the production of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide as defense molecules. The impact of viral and bacterial infections on plastids and chloroplasts has been well documented. In particular, bacterial pathogens are known to introduce effectors specifically into chloroplasts, and many viral proteins interact with chloroplast proteins to influence viral replication and movement, and plant defense. By contrast, clear examples are just now emerging for chloroplast-targeted effectors from fungal and oomycete pathogens. In this review, we first present a brief overview of chloroplast contributions to plant defense and then discuss examples of connections between fungal interactions with plants and chloroplast function. We then briefly consider well-characterized bacterial effectors that target chloroplasts as a prelude to discussing the evidence for fungal effectors that impact chloroplast activities.

Molecular biosciences represent one of the most exciting fields of modern research among the natural sciences. They bridge the gap between single molecules and the complex functions in living organisms under normal conditions and in disease. Minor changes in bioactive molecules such as DNA, RNA and proteins affect and change the properties of cells, microorganisms, animals and plants. Advances in technologies including microscopic imaging, new generation sequencing applications and techniques to analyze molecular structures result in an explosion of information and understanding of biological systems primarily oriented to improve human health. The CMBI aims at providing a platform for this extremely rapidly developing research field by taking advantage of the visibility and expertise of the CMBI’s internationally competitive groups to strengthen interdisciplinary research activities. The CMBI currently consists of 21 research teams originating from the faculties of Chemistry and Pharmacy, of Biology, and of Mathematics, Informatics and Physics, and their activities focus on research and teaching. CMBI members contribute to the FWF special research program SFB-F44 “Cell Signaling in Chronic CNS Disorders”, which is currently in its second funding period, and to several FWF-funded doctoral programs, all in collaboration with the Medical University of Innsbruck.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. i Abstract MYB transcription factors are one of the largest transcription factor families characterized in plants. They are classified into four types: R1 MYB, R2R3 MYB, R3 MYB and R4 MYB. GmMYB176 is an R1MYB transcription factor that regulates Chalcone synthase (CHS8) gene expression and isoflavonoid biosynthesis in soybean. Silencing of GmMYB176 suppressed the expression of the GmCHS8 gene and reduced the accumulation of isoflavonoids in soybean hairy roots. However, overexpression of GmMYB176 does not alter either GmCHS8 gene expression or isoflavonoid levels suggesting that GmMYB176 alone is not sufficient for GmCHS8 gene regulation.

The one-pot procedure is based on amild catalytic reduction of tertiaryamides into the corresponding enamines by the use of Mo(CO)6 (molybdenum hexacarbonyl) and TMDS (1,1,3,3-tetra- methyldisiloxane). The formed enamines were allowed to react with sulfonyl azidestogive the target compounds in moderate to good yields. The amidine functional group is frequently found in biological- ly activecompounds possessing anti-inflammatory,antibacteri- al, antiviral, antibiotic, and anestheticproperties.[1] They are also employed as intermediates and precursors in organic syn- thesis of importantheterocyclic compounds such as imida- zoles, quinazolines,isoquinolines, and pyrimidines.[2] Further- more, amidines are employed as ligandsinmetal complexes and as protecting groups for primary amines.[3] Scheme1.Preparation of amidines through a–c) electrophilic amide activa- The stability of amides makes this functional group valuable tion and d) reductive functionalization of amides.

  • 16Th March 2020 Blood Revised
    Blood is the fluid circulating in a closed system of blood vessels and the chambers of the heart It is the medium which transports substances from one part of the body to the other Blood is composed of Plasma Platelets Cells WBCs RBCs (Erythrocytes) Hemoglobin (Hb) is red , oxygen carrying pigment present exclusively in erythrocytes HEMOGLOBIN A conjugated protein containing Globin Protein part ( 4 polypeptide chains- ) 96% of the total Hb mass Varies from species to species( species specificity) Heme Non protein (prosthetic group) Red colour Iron containing tetrapyrrole porphyrin derivative 4% of the total Hb mass Reversibly binds Oxygen Structure of Heme An Iron –porphyrin (Protoporphrin IX) compound with tetrapyrrole structure Protoporphyrin IX consists of 4 pyrrole rings combined through — CH= bridges (methyne bridges) The methyne bridges are referred as α,β,γ, and δ. The 2 Hydrogen atoms in the –NH groups pyrrole rings (II & IV) are replaced by Ferrous( Fe++) . The four pyrrole rings present in the porphyrin molecule are designated as I,II,III & IV . Each of these four rings has 2 groups attached to them M = Methyl –CH3 V = Vinyl – CH=CH2 P = Propionyl - CH2 - CH2 - COOH . The Fe++ can form 2 additional bonds .One of these position is linked internally (5th linkage ) to nitrogen of imidazole ring of Histidine of the Globin polypeptide chains . Other position is available to bind Oxygen Heme is the most prevalent metalloporphyrin in humans Common prosthetic group in Hemoglobin — Transport of O2 in blood Myoglobin — Storage of O2 in muscles Cytochromes — Part of electron transport chain Catalase — Degradation of H2O2 Tryptophan pyrolase — Oxidation of Tryptophan Cytochrome P450 — Hydroxylation of Xenobiotics HEME SYNTHESIS Major sites Liver Erythrocyte producing cells of bone marrow Rate of heme synthesis in liver is highly variable & depends upon size of heme pool while it is relatively constant in in bone marrow is relatively constant Mature RBC lack mitochondria and are unable to synthesize heme.
