Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract. A theoretical study of steroidal inhibitors of the enzymes Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase and Aromatase is presented. Both enzyme systems are of interest in the study of cancer, the latter being the final step in the biosynthesis of oestrogens which are involved in certain types of breast cancer. Two levels of theory are employed in the study, namely, Ab Initio and Semi Empirical methods. Structures and charges have been calculated using the MOPAC and GAUSSIAN programs and these have been used to model the efficacy of various inhibitors. The major tool in comparing these steroids has been the molecular electrostatic potential ( MEP ). Maps of the MEP and an analysis of the similarity between the MEP s of different molecules have led both to a method of assessing the activities of steroids as enzyme inhibitors and requirements for the electronic structure of the steroid binding sites within these enzymes. A molecular graphics display program has been developed to facilitate this work. It has been designed to make full use of the facilities available. The quality of the resulting display has improved greatly on what was previously available and has been of value in studies of large molecular systems. The program is written in VAX FORTRAN and uses the Graphics Kernel System (GKS ) to produce graphical output and should be reasonably easy to transfer to other systems. Finally, to determine whether PM3 really is a significant advance on AMI, a comparison of the two semi empirical methods is presented. The calculated properties of steroid hormones are compared to those of both Ab Initio calculations and experimental determinations, allowing the quality of the semi empirical predictions to be assessed.

AcknQwlcdgs.msjo.ts.! I would like to thank Colin Thomson for the opportunity to carry out this project and for his advice, the S.E.R.C. for financial support and the N.F.C.R., A.I.C.R. and Digital for their support of the group. I have also had useful discussions with other members of staff, and would like to thank David Calvert, Chris Glidewell, Gordon Harris, Kenneth Harris, and Gordon Woolley. Thanks are also due to John Walton, whose question sparked off the idea for the Geometry Optimisation study. Other members of the department deserving mention are Andrew Leech for a helpful discussion, and Jim Bews for his skill in keeping the Macintoshes under control. The past and present members of the group have been invaluable, and I would like to mention Paola, Piera, Derek, Donatella and John, but particularly my great friends Andrew and Julie. Audrey and Catherine deserve a mention, just for listening to my ideas and pretending that I made sense. The encouragement and financial assistance of my parents has kept me going both mentally and physically, and I should like to thank them both. Finally, the greatest thanks must go to Sarah, whose help with typing, references, spelling and grammar have been invaluable. She has had to become a minor expert in Theoretical Chemistry to understand me, and a disaster relief worker to clear up the trail of destruction following in the wake of this thesis. iv Contents Chapter One Introduction. 1 A The Occurrence of Cancer. 2 B Cell Growth and Cancer. 3 C Carcinogenesis. 4 D Steroid Hormones and Cancer. 6 E The Use of Theoretical Methods and Computational Chemistry Software. 10 F Molecular Graphics. 12 G Equipment, Program Details and Methods. 13 Chapter Two Theoretical Methods and Computational Chemistry Software. 16 A Classical Mechanics. 17 B The Schrodinger Wave Equation. 17 C Properties of the Wave Function. 20 D Hartree - Fock Molecular Orbital Theory. 21 E The Basis Set Expansions: The Lineal’ Combination of Atomic Orbitals Method. 25 F Types of Basis Set. 28 G Direct SCF. 32 H Limitations of the Hartree - Fock Method. 32 I Semi Empirical Methods. 34 J Molecular Geometries. 38 K Properties Calculated from the Hartree - Fock SCF Wavefunction. 43 L Software. 49 M Electrostatic Potential Software. 51 N Molecular Graphics. 53 O Other Programs Written as Part of this Research. 53 V Chapter Three Design and Implementation of a Molecular Graphics Display Program. 56 A Introduction. 57 B Details of the Program. 58 C Data Type Conversion and File Manipulation. 59 D Graphical Display. 65 E Lists. 69 F Chopping Out Sections of Molecules. 71 G Geometry Comparison. 72 H Other Functions of the Graphics Program. 75 I Conclusion. 75 J Description of Photographs. 76 Chapter Four A Discussion of Electrostatic Potential and Geometry Optimisation. 84 A Introduction. 85 B Rationale Behind the use of MEP in Biological Studies. 85 C Uses of the MEP. 86 D Calculation of the Potential Maps. 88 E Dependency of the MEP upon the Accuracy of the Wavefunction. 89 F Calculation of Potential Fitted Charges. 90 G Study of Geometry Optimisation Using MOPAC. 97 Chapter Five A Theoretical Investigation of DHEA and Other G6PDH Inhibitors. 121 A Introduction. 122 B DHEA as an Inhibitor of G6PDH. 123 C Quantum Mechanical Study of Steroidal Inhibition of G6PDH. 125 D Rationalisation of the Activities of the Steroids as Inhibitors of G6PDH. 142 E ASP Study of the Androstane Series. 157 F Other Similarity Work on the Androstane Series. 164 G Final Conclusions on the Androstane Electrostatic Potential Studies. 171 H Electrostatic Potential Work on the Pregnane Series. 172 vi I ASP Work for the Pregnane Series. 175 J Comment on the Accuracy of the Experimental Data. 179 K Summary of the Work on Steroidal Inhibitors of G6PDH. 180 Chapter Six Studies of Inhibition of Oestrogen Biosynthesis. 195 A Introduction. 196 B Aromatase Inhibitors Studied in this Chapter. 200 C Semi Empirical Calculations. 203 D Structure of the 17 P-side Chain. 204 E Conformation of the Steroid A-ring. 212 F Rationalisation of the Competitive Inhibition Using Theoretical Techniques. 215 G Analysis of the Electrostatic Potential Maps for the Aromatase Inhibitors. 225 H Theoretical Model of the Enzyme Inactivation. 227 I Conclusions. 236 Chapter Seven A Comparison of AMI and PM3 with Ab Initio and Experimental Results. 240 A Introduction. 241 B Comparison of AMI and PM3 by evaluation of the Ab Initio energy for the Optimised Geometry. 245 C Comparison of Semi Empirical and Ab Initio Structures. 253 D Comparison of Experimental and Calculated Dipole Moments. 264 E Quality of Calculated Ionisation Potentials. 271 F Assessment of Calculated Atomic Charges and Chemical Shifts. 275 G Comparison of Calculated Structures and X-Ray Geometries. 289 H Final Comments. 296 Chapter Eight Conclusion. 298 References. 303 J Vll Appendices.

Conlon one another. The -system of a polyene may be fully conjugated, or there may be one or more pairs of conjugated double bonds isolated from the other -bonds in the molecule, or, alternatively, each of the carbon–carbon double bonds in the polyene may be isolated from one another. Conjugated -systems react differently with electrophiles than isolated double bonds. Addition of hydrogen to isolated double bonds has been previously discussed in this series and will not be addressed here1.

  • 1 AMINO ACIDS Commonly, 21 L-Amino Acids Encoded by DNA Represent the Building Blocks of Animal, Plant, and Microbial Proteins
    1 AMINO ACIDS Commonly, 21 L-amino acids encoded by DNA represent the building blocks of animal, plant, and microbial proteins. The basic amino acids encountered in proteins are called proteinogenic amino acids 1.1). Biosynthesis of some of these amino acids proceeds by ribosomal processes only in microorganisms and plants and the ability to synthesize them is lacking in animals, including human beings. These amino acids have to be obtained in the diet (or produced by hydrolysis of body proteins) since they are required for normal good health and are referred to as essential amino acids. The essential amino acids are arginine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. The rest of encoded amino acids are referred to as non-essential amino acids (alanine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, proline, serine, and tyrosine). Arginine and histidine are classified as essential, sometimes as semi-essential amino acids, as their amount synthesized in the body is not sufficient for normal growth of children. Although it is itself non-essential, cysteine (classified as conditionally essential amino acid) can partly replace methionine, which is an essential amino acid. Similarly, tyrosine can partly replace phenylalanine. 1.1 The glutamic acid group 1.1.1 Glutamic acid and glutamine Free ammonium ions are toxic to living cells and are rapidly incorporated into organic compounds. One of such transformations is the reaction of ammonia with 2-oxoglutaric acid from the citric acid cycle to produce L-glutamic acid. This reaction is known as reductive amination. Glutamic acid is accordingly the amino acid generated first as both constituent of proteins and a biosynthetic precursor.

MECHANISTIC INVESTIGATION OF FLUXIONAL BEHAVIOR OF Ru- BASED OLEFIN METATHESIS CATALYSTS Adil R Zhugralin Thesis Advisor: Professor Amir H. Hoveyda Abstract Chapter 1. Through the use of quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) the similarities and differences between transition metal complexes ligated by phosphines and N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) were elucidated. Among the key findings, the phosphines were identified as stronger charge donors than NHCs; however, the latter class of ligands exhibits a weaker π-accepting character than the former. Furthermore, Tolman electronic parameter (TEP) was determined to be an inadequate gauge for the total electron donating ability of phosphines and NHCs; rather TEP can serve as a measurement of population of dπ set of orbitals of a metal center in question.

Available online: https://sciforum.net/conference/IECC_2018. Published: 21 May 2018 Abstract: The crystal structure and the structural features of the 8a-phenylhexahydropyrrolo[1,2- a]pyrimidine-6(2H)-one, C13H16N2O, obtained by condensation of 4-phenyl-4-oxobutanoic acid with 1,3-diaminopropane. Molecules are weakly linked by the intermolecular hydrogen bonds C=O···H– N into the chains. These chains are weakly linked by π-π stacking interactions to form a three- dimensional framework. Keywords: 8a-phenylhexahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-6(2H)-one; crystal structure; intermolecular hydrogen bonds; π-π stacking interactions 1. Introduction The construction of heterocyclic systems including pyrrolidone (lactam) and fused imida-/oxa- /thiazolidine as well as tetrahydropyrimidine or 1,3-oxazinane fragments is quite relevant due to the broad spectrum of biological activity exhibited by these molecules. Particularly, they exhibit antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-HIV and anti-tuberculosis activity [1–3]. 8a-Phenylhexahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(2H)-one may be proposed to have great conformational capabilities due to the presence of two fused saturated heterocycles with the only one aromatic substituent.
