Retention data are presented for three types of commonly used stationary phases: dimethyl silicone (nonpolar), dimethyl sili- cone with 5% phenyl groups (slightly polar), and polyethylene glycol (polar) stationary phases. The evaluations are based on the treatment of multiple measurements with the number of data records ranging from about 5 to 800 per compound. Data analysis was limited to temperature programmed conditions. The data reported include the average and median values of retention index with standard deviations and confidence intervals.

  • Application of Biomarker Compounds As Tracers for Sources and Fates of Natural and Anthropogenic Organic Matter in Tile Environment
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Daniel R. Oros for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Sciences presented on September 24. 1999. Title: Application of Biomarker Compoundsas Tracers for Sources and Fates of Natural and Anthropogenic Organic Matter in the Environment. Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Bernd R.T. Simoneit Determination of the source and fate of natural (higher plant lipids, marine lipids, etc.) and anthropogenically (e.g., petroleum, coal emissions) derived hydrocarbons and oxygenated compounds in the environment was accomplished using gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC- MS) to characterize or identify molecular biomarkers to be utilized as tracers. The distributions and abundances of biomarkers such as straight chain homologous series (e.g., n-alkanes, n-alkanoic acids, n-alkan-2-ones, n-alkanols, etc.) and cyclic terpenoid compounds (e.g., sesquiterpenoids, diterpenoids, steroids, triterpenoids) were identified in epicuticular waxes from conifers of western North America (natural emissions). These biomarkers and their thermal alteration derivativeswere also identified in smoke emissions from known vegetation sources (e.g., conifers, deciduous trees and grasses) and were then applied as tracers in soils, soils that contained wildfire residues and soillriver mud washout after wildfire burning. Where possible, the reaction pathways of transformation from the parentprecursor compounds to intermediate and final alteration products were determined from GC- MS data. In addition, molecular tracer analysis was applied to air, water and sediment samples collected from a lacustrine setting (Crater Lake, OR) in order to determine the identities, levels and fates of anthropogenic (i.e., petroleum hydrocarbon contamination from boating and related activities) hydrocarbons ina pristine organic matter sink.

  • Bifunctional CYP81AA Proteins Catalyse Identical Hydroxylations but Alternative Regioselective Phenol Couplings in Plant Xanthone Biosynthesis
    ARTICLE Received 27 Oct 2015 | Accepted 30 Mar 2016 | Published 5 May 2016 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms11472 OPEN Bifunctional CYP81AA proteins catalyse identical hydroxylations but alternative regioselective phenol couplings in plant xanthone biosynthesis Islam El-Awaad1,2,w, Marco Bocola3, Till Beuerle1,2, Benye Liu1,2 & Ludger Beerhues1,2 Xanthones are natural products present in plants and microorganisms. In plants, their biosynthesis starts with regioselective cyclization of 2,30,4,6-tetrahydroxybenzophenone to either 1,3,5- or 1,3,7-trihydroxyxanthones, catalysed by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes. Here we isolate and express CYP81AA-coding sequences from Hypericum calycinum and H. perforatum in yeast. Microsomes catalyse two consecutive reactions, that is, 30-hydro- xylation of 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzophenone and C–O phenol coupling of the resulting 2,30, 4,6-tetrahydroxybenzophenone. Relative to the inserted 30-hydroxyl, the orthologues Hc/HpCYP81AA1 cyclize via the para position to form 1,3,7-trihydroxyxanthone, whereas the paralogue HpCYP81AA2 directs cyclization to the ortho position, yielding the isomeric 1,3,5- trihydroxyxanthone. Homology modelling and reciprocal mutagenesis reveal the impact of S375, L378 and A483 on controlling the regioselectivity of HpCYP81AA2, which is converted into HpCYP81AA1 by sextuple mutation. However, the reciprocal mutations in HpCYP81AA1 barely affect its regiospecificity. Product docking rationalizes the alternative C–O phenol coupling reactions. Our results help understand the machinery of bifunctional CYPs. 1 Institute of Pharmaceutical Biology, Technische Universita¨t Braunschweig, Mendelssohnstrae 1, Braunschweig 38106, Germany. 2 Center of Pharmaceutical Engineering (PVZ), Technische Universita¨t Braunschweig, Franz-Liszt-Strae 35A, Braunschweig 38106, Germany. 3 Institute of Biotechnology, RWTH Aachen University, Worringerweg 1, Aachen 52074, Germany.

Department of Pharmacology, UCLA School o[ Medicine, Center [or the Health Sciences, Los Angeles, California 90024-1735 Received December 10, 1990 The oxidative demethylenation reactions of (methylendioxy)phenyl compounds (MDPs), (methylenedioxy)benzene (MDB), (methylenedioxy)amphetamine (MDA), and (methylenedi- oxy)methamphetamine (MDMA), were evaluated by using two hydroxyl radical generating systems, the autoxidation of ascorbate in the presence of iron-EDTA and the iron-catalyzed Haber-Welss reaction conducted by xanthine/xanthine oxidase with iron-EDTA. Reaction products generated when MDB, MDA, and MDMA were incubated with the ascorbate or xanthine oxidase system were catechol, dihydroxyamphetamine (DHA), and dihydroxymethnmphetemine (DHMA), respectively. The reaction required the presence of either ascorbic acid or xanthine oxidase. Levels of each catechol increased in proportion to ferric ion concentration and were suppressed by desferrio-nmine B methanesuLfonate (desferal). Catalase (CAT) inhibited the oxidation by the ascorbate system whereas superoxide dismutase (SOD) had little effect.

    § 90-89. Schedule I controlled substances. This schedule includes the controlled substances listed or to be listed by whatever official name, common or usual name, chemical name, or trade name designated. In determining that a substance comes within this schedule, the Commission shall find: a high potential for abuse, no currently accepted medical use in the United States, or a lack of accepted safety for use in treatment under medical supervision. The following controlled substances are included in this schedule: (1) Opiates. – Any of the following opiates or opioids, including the isomers, esters, ethers, salts and salts of isomers, esters, and ethers, unless specifically excepted, or listed in another schedule, whenever the existence of such isomers, esters, ethers, and salts is possible within the specific chemical designation: a.
