His challenges and questions kept me on track, and forced me to constantly reevaluate myself critically. I would also like to thank Dr. Ronald for helping to kindle my interest and passion in chemistry. I would like to thank my committee members for sharing their time and knowl- edge. I would also like to thank the Washington State University Chemistry depart- ment for the resources and equipment provided, and those in the front office who keep things running. Finally I would like to thank my fellow students who have supported me. Ryan Joseph, for his help and enthusiasm in chemistry and LATEX. Nelmi Devarie, for talks of cooking and science. Laksiri, Hua Wang, and Chung-Min Park for their help in training me in the basics. Most importantly are my family and friends, with out their support I would have never started this journey, or have a place to go up on finishing it, without their help and commitment. iii SYNTHETIC USES OF S-NITROSOTHIOLS IN ORGANIC CHEMISTRY Abstract by Tyler David Biggs, Ph.D. Washington State University May 2017 Chair: Ming Xian S-Nitrosothiols have risen to prominence since their identification as an impor- tant post-translational modification of cysteine residues. The full range of chem- istry and biological implications of this motif are under exploration. Direct chem- ical reactions of S-nitrosothiols should reveal clues into their biological effects, and produce new synthetic tools for the construction of sulfur and nitrogen con- taining compounds. Here several explorations into synthetic applications of S-Nitrosothiols are ex- plored. The relevant background literature is reviewed. Then a phosphine medi- ated reductive ligation of aldehydes and S-Nitrosothiols is discussed. Followed the development of a proline-based phosphine reagent and its reactivity with S-nitrosothiols is explored. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS . iii ABSTRACT . iv A REVIEW OF S-NITROSOTHIOLS . .1 1.1 Introduction................................1 1.1.1 Historical Context.........................1 1.1.2 Chemical Background......................2 1.1.3 Biological Significance......................3 1.2 Properties of S-Nitrosothiols.......................4 1.2.1 Structure and Electronic Nature of S-Nitrosothiols......5 1.2.2 Isomerization of S-Nitrosothiols.................6 1.3 Spectra...................................7 1.3.1 Infrared and Raman Spectra...................7 1.3.2 UV-Vis Spectra...........................8 1.4 S-Nitrosation................................8 1.4.1 Direct Reaction of Thiols with Nitric Oxide..........8 1.4.2 Nitrosation by Nitrite in Acidic Media............. 10 1.4.3 Nitrosation by Alkyl Nitrites................... 10 1.4.4 Transnitrosation.......................... 11 1.5 Decomposition............................... 12 1.5.1 Homolytic & Heterolytic Cleavage of the S-N Bond...... 13 1.5.2 Rates of Decomposition of S-Nitrosothiols........... 14 v 1.5.3 Metal-based SNO Decomposition................ 15 1.6 Reactions of S-Nitrosothiols....................... 16 1.6.1 Bioorthogonal Reactions of SNO................ 16 1.6.2 Reactions with Phosphines.................... 16 1.6.3 Light Induced Reactions..................... 28 1.6.4 Reactions with Sulfenic Acids.................. 29 1.6.5 Reactions with Carbanions.................... 30 1.6.6 Miscellaneous Reactions..................... 31 CONJUGATION OF S-NITROSOTHIOLS WITH ALDEHYDES . 34 2.1 Introduction................................ 34 2.1.1 Hypothesis............................. 34 2.2 Results and Discussion.......................... 35 2.2.1 Experimental Plan........................ 35 2.2.2 Preparation of Starting Materials................ 36 2.2.3 Condition Screen......................... 37 2.2.4 Intramolecular Substrate Screen................. 38 2.2.5 Intermolecular Substrate Screen................. 38 2.2.6 Application -

The first chapter is a general introduction to the topic. The second chapter reviews the biology of nitric oxide. The third chapter provides a survey of some of the known chemistry of nitric oxide, with particular emphasis on those aspects which might be relevant in biological systems. The fourth chapter describes the biology of thionitrites in relation to NO.

  • Systems Biology Reveals Reprogramming of the S-Nitroso
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Systems biology reveals reprogramming of the S‑nitroso‑proteome in the cortical and striatal regions of mice during aging process Maryam Kartawy, Igor Khaliulin & Haitham Amal* Cell aging depends on the rate of cumulative oxidative and nitrosative damage to DNA and proteins. Accumulated data indicate the involvement of protein S‑nitrosylation (SNO), the nitric oxide (NO)-mediated posttranslational modifcation (PTM) of cysteine thiols, in diferent brain disorders. However, the changes and involvement of SNO in aging including the development of the organism from juvenile to adult state is still unknown. In this study, using the state‑of‑the‑ art mass spectrometry technology to identify S‑nitrosylated proteins combined with large‑scale computational biology, we tested the S‑nitroso‑proteome in juvenile and adult mice in both cortical and striatal regions. We found reprogramming of the S‑nitroso‑proteome in adult mice of both cortex and striatum regions. Signifcant biological processes and protein–protein clusters associated with synaptic and neuronal terms were enriched in adult mice. Extensive quantitative analysis revealed a large set of potentially pathological proteins that were signifcantly upregulated in adult mice. Our approach, combined with large scale computational biology allowed us to perform a system‑level characterization and identifcation of the key proteins and biological processes that can serve as drug targets for aging and brain disorders in future studies. Nitric oxide (NO) is produced in diferent organs and tissues, including the central and peripheral nervous sys- tem, and is one of the most important signaling molecules in the body1,2. At low concentrations, it participates in cell signaling and may have therapeutic value for brain injury 3.

DPP as used in this study avoids this The reaction of nitrite ion with ascorbic acid and its effect on difficulty and allows reactions to be studied in situ, yielding the rate of nitrosation of secondary amines have been investi interesting results. The use of DPP as an analytical method for gated by differential pulse polarography in aqueous acidic A/-nitrosamines and as a technique to study some of the chem solution. Ascorbic acid shows nonuniform behavior: it accel istry of W-nitrosamines has been previously reported by us (6- erates the nitrosation of N-methylaniline between pH 1.00 and 8, 31, 32). 1.95, allows the nitrosation of diphenylamine and iminodiace- tonitrile, but inhibits the nitrosation of secondary amines, such MATERIALS AND METHODS as dimethylamine, diethylamine, proline, hydroxyproline, N- methylaminoacetonitrile, N-methylaminopropionitrile, and sar- Instrumentation.
