However, the hydrocarbon surface of nonactin allows it to enter readily into, and pass through, membranes. Because nonactin binds and thus transports ions, the ion balance crucial to proper cell function is upset, and the cell dies. Ion Channels Ion channels, or “ion gates,” provide passageways for ions into and out of cells. (Recall that ions are not soluble in membrane phospholipids.) The flow of ions is essen- tial for the transmission of nerve impulses and for other biological processes. A typical chan- nel is a large protein molecule imbedded in a cell membrane. Through various mechanisms, ion channels can be opened or closed to regulate the concentration of ions in the interior of the cell. Ions do not diffuse passively through an open channel; rather, an open channel contains regions that bind a specific ion. Such an ion is bound specifically within the channel at one side of the membrane and is somehow expelled from the channel on the other side. Remark- ably, the structures of the ion-binding regions of these channels have much in common with the structures of ionophores such as nonactin. The first X-ray crystal structure of a potassium- ion channel was determined in 1998 by a team of scientists at Rockefeller University led by Prof. Roderick MacKinnon (b. 1956), who shared the 2003 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this work. The interior of the channel contains binding sites for two potassium ions; these sites are oxygen-rich, much like the interior of nonactin.

    A Novel Series of Titanocene Dichloride Derivatives: Synthesis, Characterization and Assessment of Their

    A novel series of titanocene dichloride derivatives: synthesis, characterization and assessment of their cytotoxic properties by Gregory David Potter A thesis submitted to the Department of Chemistry in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada May, 2008 Copyright © Gregory David Potter, 2008 Abstract Although cis-PtCl2(NH3)2 (cisplatin) has been widely used as a chemotherapeutic agent, its use can be accompanied by toxic side effects and the development of drug resistance. Consequently, much research has been focused on the discovery of novel transition metal compounds which elicit elevated cytotoxicities coupled with reduced toxic side effects and non-cross resistance. Recently, research in this lab has focused on preparing derivatives of titanocene dichloride (TDC), a highly active chemotherapeutic agent, with pendant alkylammonium groups on one or both rings. Earlier results have demonstrated that derivatives containing either cyclic or chiral alkylammonium groups had increased cytotoxic activities. This research therefore investigated a new series of TDC complexes focusing specifically on derivatives bearing cyclic and chiral alkylammonium groups. A library of ten cyclic derivatives and six chiral derivatives were synthesized and fully characterized. These derivatives have undergone in vitro testing as anti-tumour agents using human lung, ovarian, and cervical carcinoma cell lines (A549, H209, H69, H69/CP, A2780, A2780/CP and HeLa). These standard cell lines represent solid tumour types for which new drugs are urgently needed. The potencies of all of the Ti (IV) derivatives varied greatly (range from 10.8 μM - >1000 μM), although some trends were observed. In general, the dicationic analogues exhibited greater potency than the corresponding monocationic derivatives.

    Williamson Ether Synthesis the Williamson Ether Synthesis Is an Organic Reaction, Forming an Ether from an Alkyl Halide and an Alcohol

    The Williamson ether synthesis The Williamson ether synthesis is an organic reaction, forming an ether from an alkyl halide and an alcohol. This reaction was developed by Alexander Williamson in 1850. It involves the reaction of an alkoxide ion with a primary alkyl halide via an SN2 reaction. The Williamson reaction is widely used in both laboratory and industrial synthesis, and remains the simplest and most popular method of preparing ethers. Both symmetrical and asymmetrical ethers are easily prepared. The reaction for this week: an example of a Williamson ether synthesis acetaminophen ethyl iodide phenacetin starting material reagent product Phenacetin may be synthesized as an example of the Williamson ether synthesis The first synthesis of phenacetin was reported in 1878 by Harmon Morse. Procedure 1. Weigh an Extra-Strength Tylenol tablet. Pulverize the tablet with mortar and pestle. Weigh out 0.22 g and place it in a dry 15-ml round-bottom flask along with 0.28 g of finely pulverized K2CO3 (mortar and pestle) and 3.0 mL of butanone. Carefully add 0.28 mL of ethyl iodide with a syringe. 2. Add a stir bar; attach a microscale water-cooled condenser to the flask. Heat the mixture under reflux directly on a hot plate at medium setting for 1 hour. In the meantime, obtain the IR of acetaminophen. 3. Turn off the heat. Allow the mixture to cool down. Add 4 mL of water to the flask and transfer its contents to a 16 x 125 mm test tube with a screw cap. Rinse round-bottom flask 4 times with 1 mL of tert-butyl methyl ether (BME) and add the rinsings to the test tube.
