Curriculum Vitae http://www.missouri.edu/~fdbq36/ottovogl.mylife/book/index.htm (7 of 7)10/10/06 12:03 PM Acknowledgments Acknowledgments During my life I was associated with numerous persons and personalities who shaped my personal, scientific and professional life. I am indebted to all of them with full appreciation. They are mentioned throughout the book, in the list of co­ authors and students. In this acknowledgment I would like to thank those that were directly involved in my development: playmates in childhood, school friends, high school and college friends, mentors, colleagues, coworkers and students. The early years of my life were spent in Traiskirchen, Austria, my birthplace. I had a nice childhood in a happy family, wonderful playmates and school friends at the Elementary School: Hertha Pezda, Rudi Kautz, Friedl Ferschner and I had a very dedicated fourth grade teacher, Olga Hermann, whom I adored. She spent many hours after school preparing me for the entrance examination to the Realgymnasium in Baden. The Realgymnasium (middle and high school) provided new and trusted friendships for a growing adolescent: Heinz Wogrinetz, Leopold Stumvoll. Later Wolfgang Ulrich became my intellectual friend. How I admired my history teacher, Kraupp, and my chemistry teacher, Helpap. Once I entered the University of Vienna I entered a new world. Again new friends became an essential part of my life. As the new generation of chemistry students we formed the "the group of '45": Karl Schloegl, Fredl Renner, Kurt Komarek and Liselotte Kuert. During my thesis work I was in Galinovsky's group: We had the "left-overs" of Spaeth's graduate students - Tuppy, and Goldberger. We also had a postdoctoral visitor from Milan, Italy, who has been a close friend throughout my life: Giuseppe Bianchetti. Over all these activities my mentor and thesis advisor Friedrich Galinovsky kept a keen watch. Upon arrival in the Unites States, I first went to the University of Michigan where I worked with Christian S. Rondestvedt and

    Agr. Biol. Chem., 39 (9), 1781-1788,1975 The Degradation of Isopropylbenzene and Isobutylbenze ne by Pseudomonas sp. Yoshifumi JIGAMI,Toshio OMORIand Yasuji MINODA Departmentof AgriculturalChemistry, Faculty of Agriculture, The Universityof Tokyo,Tokyo ReceivedMarch 17, 1975 To clarify biodegradation pathways of isoalkyl substituted aromatic hydrocarbons, oxidation products of isopropylbenzene and isobutylbenzene by Ps. desmolytica S449B1 and Ps. convexa S107BI were examined. Oxidation products from isopropyl benzene were determined to be 3-isopropylcatechol and (+)-2-hydroxy-7-methyl-6-oxooctanoic acid. Isobutylbenzene was also oxidized to 3- isobutylcatechol and (+)-2-hydroxy-8-methyl-6-oxononanoic acid by the same strains. From these results, the existence of an unknown reductive step in the degradation of these isoalkyl substituted aromatic hydrocarbons and the initial oxidation of these aromatic hydrocarbons by the strains were made clear. The degradation pathways of isopropyl benzene and isobutylbenzene by these strains were discussed.

Ketcha, Ph.D. _________________________ Eric Fossum, Ph.D. _________________________ Joseph F. Thomas, Ph.D. Dean, School of Graduate Studies ii Abstract Fisher, Jennifer A., M.S., Department of Chemistry, Wright State University, 2005. Bismuth Triflate Catalyzed Friedel-Crafts Acylations of Sydnones. In the present work, suitably functionalized arylsydnones were used to synthesize a variety of 4-acyl-sydnones and diacyl sydnones, both as potential precursors to novel sydnoquinolines. The approach to the diacyl species is based on the discovery that activated sydnones brominate in both the 4 position of the sydnone ring and on the phenyl ring. Thus, it seemed likely that Friedel-Crafts reactions on an activated sydnone would give diacylated species for McMurray coupling to sydnoquinolines. Friedel-Crafts acylations on the 4 position of the sydnone ring have been achieved in high yields using 4 equivalents of various alkyl anhydrides, 25 mol % of bismuth triflate and lithium perchlorate in anhydrous acetonitrile at 95 oC.

  • Isolation and Structure Elucidation of Pyridine Alkaloids from the Aerial
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Isolation and structure elucidation of pyridine alkaloids from the aerial parts of the Mongolian medicinal plant Caryopteris mongolica Bunge Dumaa Mishig1,2,3, Margit Gruner1, Tilo Lübken1, Chunsriimyatav Ganbaatar1,2, Duger Regdel2 & Hans‑Joachim Knölker1* The seven pyridine alkaloids 1–7, the favonoid acacetin (8), and L‑proline anhydride (9) have been isolated from the aerial parts of the Mongolian medicinal plant Caryopteris mongolica Bunge. The structures of the natural products 1–9 have been assigned by MS, as well as IR, 1D NMR (1H, 13C, DEPT), and 2D NMR (COSY, HSQC, HMBC, NOESY) spectroscopic methods. The compounds 2 and 4–7 represent new chemical structures. Acacetin (8) and L‑proline anhydride (9) have been obtained from C. mongolica for the frst time. Caryopteris mongolica Bunge is a deciduous shrub and belongs to the Verbenaceae family. C. mongolica which is widely distributed in the mountainous and Gobi regions of Mongolia (Khentei, Khangai, Mongol-Daurian, Mid- dle Khalkha, Mongolian Altai, East Mongolia Valley of Lakes, Govi-Altai, East Govi, Trans-Altai Gobi, Gobi and Alashan Gobi)1. In fact only this species of Caryopteris is growing in Mongolia, whereas about 16 species of this genus occur all over the world. In traditional Mongolian medicine, the aerial parts of this plant have been prepared as decoction and used for haemorrhage, increasing muscle strength, urinary excretion, pulmonary windy oedema and chronic bronchitis2. In Chinese folk medicine, Caryopteris ternifora has been used as anti- pyretic, detoxifying, expectorant, and anti-infammatory agent and for the treatment of cold, tuberculosis and rheumatism3.

ETUK, JOSEPH G. ATAI AND AYI A. AYI (Received 15 January 2014; Revision Accepted 14 March 2014) ABSTRACT The condensation of a para-phenylenediamine and two equivalent of para-hydroxybenzaldehyde in the presence of 2+ o Zn ions yielded a metallo-ligand of composition [ZnL2Ph(NH 3)2(H 2O) 2] I. Compound I melts at 126 C and is soluble in common organic solvents such as ethanol (C 2H5OH), dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO). The scanning electron micrograph of compound I reveals a rectangular block crystals. The metalloligand synthesized was reacted with ortho-phosphoric acid under hydrothermal conditions at 105 oC to obtain colourless crystals of compound II with composition [Zn 4L2(HPO 4)6(H 2O) 3]. Compound II is insoluble in common organic solvents and melts above 300 oC. The structure of compounds I and II have been studied with the help of Infrared and UV- visible spectroscopy. The complexes show broad band absorption in the region 3760 – 3765.71 cm -1 due to the symmetric stretching vibration of the co-ordinated water molecule.

  • Evaluation of the Correlation Between Porphyrin Accumulation in Cancer Cells and Functional Positions for Application As a Drug
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Evaluation of the correlation between porphyrin accumulation in cancer cells and functional positions for application as a drug carrier Koshi Nishida1, Toshifumi Tojo1*, Takeshi Kondo1,2 & Makoto Yuasa1,2 Porphyrin derivatives accumulate selectively in cancer cells and are can be used as carriers of drugs. Until now, the substituents that bind to porphyrins (mainly at the meso-position) have been actively investigated, but the efect of the functional porphyrin positions (β-, meso-position) on tumor accumulation has not been investigated. Therefore, we investigated the correlation between the functional position of substituents and the accumulation of porphyrins in cancer cells using cancer cells. We found that the meso-derivative showed higher accumulation in cancer cells than the β-derivative, and porphyrins with less bulky substituent actively accumulate in cancer cells. When evaluating the intracellular distribution of porphyrin, we found that porphyrin was internalized by endocytosis and direct membrane permeation. As factors involved in these two permeation mechanisms, we evaluated the afnity between porphyrin-protein (endocytosis) and the permeability to the phospholipid bilayer membrane (direct membrane permeation). We found that the binding position of porphyrin afects the factors involved in the transmembrane permeation mechanisms and impacts the accumulation in cancer cells. In drug discovery, it is necessary to select a highly biocompatible compound because toxic drugs cannot be clinically used no matter their efcacy 1. Regarding biocompatibility, porphyrin is an appealing candidate. It is composed of four pyrrole subunits (the 3-position of pyrrole is termed β-position, the methine group that con- nects pyrroles is termed meso-position) and has 18π-electrons that form a plane.
