NMR measurements were obtained using a Bruker Avance 400 MHz NMR spectrometer. Chemical shifts are given in parts per million (ppm). Positions of hydrogen or carbon atoms at the aromatic ring systems are numbered clockwise starting with the aromatic carbon atom attached to the α-carbon. LC-ESI-MS experiments were recorded on an Agilent 1100 HPLC system coupled to a Bruker Esquire 3000plus ESI-MS-ion trap spectrometer with the individually described parameters. MS spectra were recorded using a Finnigan TSQ-70 triple- stage quadrupole mass spectrometer in EI mode (70 eV). Preparative HPLC was performed using a Waters system (Eschborn, Germany) equipped with a Waters 600 pump, a Waters 481 UV detector and a Waters 740 data module with a Nucleosil C-18 column (250 x 20 mm, 5µm; Grom, Herrenberg, Germany) by isocratic elution employing 5% acetonitrile (0.1% TFA) in water (0.1% TFA) at a flow of 10 mL/min at a run time of 10 min. ESI-FTICR-MS analyses were performed on a Bruker APEX II FTICR-MS spectrometer (Bruker-Franzen, Bremen, Germany). Flash column chromatography was carried out with Merck Kieselgel 60 (230-400 mesh) and TLC was performed using Merck silica gel F254 precoated aluminium sheets (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). Unless otherwise noted, materials were obtained from commercial sources and used without further purification. Dry solvents were purchased from Fluka (Neu-Ulm, Germany). 3,5- dihydroxymandelic acid (DMA), 3,5-Dihydroxyphenylglycine (DPg) and 3,5- dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DPA) were purchased from Sigma (Neu-Ulm). 3- hydroxyphenylacetic acid (3-HPA) and 3-methoxyphenylacetic acid (3-MeOPA) were purchased from ABCR (Karlsruhe, Germany). Mutants and bacterial strains. The mutant ∆dpgA was generated following a previously published procedure.[1] The mutant and the wild type strain of Amycolatopsis balhimycina (formerly A. mediterranei) were grown according to reported procedures.[1] Supplementation Experiments. Amino acids and other biosynthesis precursors (mandelic and phenylacetic acids) were supplemented as previously reported1 in 10 mL cultures with final concentrations of 1 mg/mL. Feeding experiments were repeated three times. All substances used for supplementation were tested for antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis ATCC6633 before supplementation and did not show any antibiotic activity. For the inhibition assay, 20 µL of the culture filtrate were brought on a filter plate which was placed on a culture of B. subtilis and incubated for 24 h at 37°C. S1 Supporting Information JA0499389 Weist et al. LCMS Analyses. LC-ESI-MS for the characterization of glycopeptide antibiotics in supplemented culture filtrates was performed after pre-purification with solid phase extraction using Varian BondElut cartridges (Varian, Darmstadt, Germany; size: 100 mg) eluting with water and water/MeOH solutions (1 mL each of 0%, 50% and 100% MeOH), and the fraction containing 50% MeOH was used for the LC-MS-experiment with an injection volume of 20 µL. LC was performed using a 125x4 mm LiChroCart Purospher RP-C18 column (VWR, Darmstadt, Germany; particle size: 5µm) with a flow of 1.5 mL/min using a gradient from 10 to 70% MeCN (0.1% TFA) in water (0.1% TFA) in 5 min. Synthesis of Phenylglycines. General Procedure starting from aldehydes. A solution of the benzaldehyde derivative (10 mmol) in NH3/MeOH (7N, 50 mL) was cooled to 0°C. TMSCN (1.11 mL, 15 mmol, 1.5 eq) was added dropwise with stirring. After 10 min, the temperature was raised to 45°C and the mixture was stirred for 5 h. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by flash chromatography using chloroform/methanol (9/1) as the eluant to give the aminonitrile. Aminonitriles were hydrolyzed using 6N HCl (50 mL for a 10 mmol scale) by heating to reflux for 3-5 h until TLC (solvent: EtOAc/n-BuOH/H2O/HAc = 2/1/1/1) indicated completion of the reaction. Charcoal (100 mg) was added, the mixture refluxed for another 10 min and filtered. The solution was concentrated to 10 mL, and the amino acid started to precipitate. After Büchner funnel filtration, the amino acids were dried under vacuum. 3-Methoxyphenyl-α-aminoacetonitrile (1) yield: 82% 1HNMR (DMSO) δ = 7.30 (dd, J=7.8/8.1Hz, 1H, H-5), 7.08-7.04 (m, 2H, H-2, H-4), 6.91 (dd, J=8.3/2.3 Hz, 1H, H-6), 4.97 (s, 1H, H-α), 3.76 (s, 3H, OCH3). 13CNMR δ = 159.83, 140.34, 130.12, 122.55, 119.13, 114.04, 112.71, 55.54, 46.62.

Synthesis of phenylacetic acids, General procedure To a solution of the benzaldehyde or benzoic acid (10 mmol) in dry THF (20 mL) under argon was added BH3·THF (2 eq; 20 mL of a 1N solution in THF) at 0°C. The mixture was stirred for 12 h before it was quenched by portionwise addition of water (50 mL). The layers were separated and the water phase was extracted with ethyl ether (2 x 20 mL). The solvent was removed to give the crude benzyl alcohol which was used for the next step without further purification. To a solution of the benzyl alcohol (5 mmol) in dry THF (10 mL), phosphorus tribromide (1 eq) was added dropwise under argon. The mixture was stirred for 2 hours before being quenched with water (5 mL). After separation of both layers, the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (2 x 10 mL). The combined extracts were concentrated and purified by flash chromatography (hexanes:ethyl acetate 5:1) to yield the benzyl bromides. Benzyl bromides (5 mmol) were treated with dry sodium cyanide (1.5 eq) in dry N- methylpyrrolidone (5 mL). The mixture was stirred for 5 h before being diluted with brine. After extraction with ethyl ether and evaporation of the solvent, the crude nitriles (2 mmol) were hydrolyzed in conc. HCl (10 mL) at 70°C for 5 h. After dilution with water (20 mL) followed by extraction with ethyl ether (2 x 10 mL), the crude phenylacetic acids were purified by flash chromatography eluting with CHCl3:MeOH 90:5.

  • Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) for Inorganic Sulfites
    Reregistration Eligibility Decision – Inorganic Sulfites May 2007 Reregistration Eligibility Decision Inorganic Sulfites Special Review and Reregistration Division Office of Pesticide Programs U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 1801 South Bell Street Arlington, VA 22202 Introduction The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has completed its Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) for the inorganic sulfites case, which includes the chemicals sulfur dioxide and sodium metabisulfite. This assessment provides information to support the issuance of a Reregistration Eligibility Decision for inorganic sulfites. EPA’s pesticide reregistration process provides for the review of older pesticides (those initially registered prior to November 1984) under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) to ensure that they meet current scientific and regulatory standards. In this document, EPA presents the results of its review of the potential human health effects of dietary, drinking water and occupational/bystander exposure to inorganic sulfites, as well as its ecological risk findings. Evaluations performed by the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) were relied upon for this assessment, in addition to peer-reviewed evaluations performed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development-Screening Information Data Set (OECD-SIDS) and from other open literature sources. Based on this assessment, the Agency has determined that products containing sulfur dioxide or sodium metabisulfite are eligible for reregistration provided the necessary label changes are made. As a result of this assessment, one tolerance has been reassessed. I. Use Information The inorganic sulfites reregistration case includes the chemicals sulfur dioxide (CAS No.

IX.1) Synthesis of 5-Substituted 1,2,4-Triazine Derivatives through an Addition Reaction and Subsequent Oxidation SHOETSU KONNO, SETSUYA OHBA, MATAICHI SAGI, and HIROSHI YAMANAKA* Pharmaceutical Institute, Tohoku University, Aobayama, Sendai 980, Japan (Received July 31, 1986) The addition reactions of various nucleophiles to 6-methyl-3-phenyl-1,2,4-triazine (1) were investigated and a practical preparation of 1 was developed. The reactions showed many similarities to those of quinazoline (at the 4-position) and acridine (at the 9-position). The hitherto unknown compounds 5-cyand- (3), 5-carbamoyl- (5) and 5-phenacy1-6-methyl-3-phenyl-1,2,4-triazines (11e) were synthesized. Keywords •\ 1,2,4-triazine; nucleophilic addition; aromatization; active methylene com- pound; catalytic reduction The most reactive position of a 1,2,4-triazine (as-triazine) ring is position 5, where nucleophiles can attack very easily.2) For example, 3,5,6-trichloro-as-triazine reacts with 1 mol eq of sodium methoxide to give 3,6-dichloro-5-methoxy-as-triazine exclusively.3) Further- more, the combined electron-attracting effects of three ring nitrogen atoms suggest posi- tion 5 to be highly susceptible to nucleophilic addition, when there is no leaving group at this position.4) The present paper deals with the synthesis of 5-substituted as-triazine derivatives from 6-methyl-3-phenyl-as-triazine (1). The reaction of 1 with nucleophiles came up to our expectation, as shown in Chart 1. Compound 1 reacted with sodium bisulfite in methanol to give 6-methy1-3-phenyl-2,5- dihydro-as-triazine-5-sulfonic acid (2).

There are seven known BoNT serotypes (A-G) which have been thus far identified in literature. BoNTs have been shown to block neurotransmitter release by cleaving proteins of the soluble NSF attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complex. Disruption of the SNARE complex precludes motor neuron failure which ultimately results in flaccid paralysis in humans and animals. Currently, there are no effective therapeutic treatments against the neurotoxin light chain (LC) after translocation into the cytosols of motor neurons. In this work, high-throughput virtual screening was employed to screen a library of commercially available compounds from ZINC database against BoNT/A-LC. Among the hit compounds from the in-silico screening, two lead compounds were identified and found to have potent inhibitory activity against BoNT/A-LC in vitro, as well as in Neuro- 2a cells.

  • Revision Date: March 2021 1 SODIUM BISULFITE This Dossier on Sodium
    SODIUM BISULFITE This dossier on sodium bisulfite presents the most critical studies pertinent to the risk assessment of sodium bisulfite in water treatment systems. It does not represent an exhaustive or critical review of all available data. The information presented in this dossier was obtained mainly from the ECHA database that provides information on chemicals that have been registered under the EU REACH (ECHA). Where possible, study quality was evaluated using the Klimisch scoring system (Klimisch et al., 1997). Screening Assessment Conclusion – Sodium bisulfite is classified as a tier 1 chemical and requires a hazard assessment only. 1 BACKGROUND At environmental pHs, sodium bisulfite dissociates in water to form sodium (Na+) ions, bisulfite ions - 2- (HSO3 ), sulfite (SO3 ) ions and sulfur dioxide (SO2) which is a gas. Sodium bisulfite is not expected to bioaccumulate in the environment because of its dissociation to ionic species and a gas. Furthermore, sulfite will oxidise to sulfate, which is ubiquitous in the environment. Sodium bisulfite and its dissociated species are expected to have a low potential to adsorb to soil and sediment. No aquatic toxicity studies have been conducted on sodium bisulfite. Other inorganic sulfite compounds show low to moderate toxicity concern to aquatic organisms. 2 CHEMICAL NAME AND IDENTIFICATION Chemical Name (IUPAC): Sodium hydrogen sulfite CAS RN: 7631-90-5 Molecular formula: NaHSO3 Molecular weight: 104.1 g/mol Synonyms: Sodium bisulfite; sodium hydrogen sulfite; sodium hydrogensulfite; monosodium sulfite; sodium sulfhydrate; hydrogen sodium sulfite; sulfurous acid, monosodium salt 3 PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Key physical and chemical properties for the substance are shown in Table 1.
