Synthesis and conformation control of peptide ribonucleic acid containing 5'-amino-5'-deoxyribopurinenucleosides

Synthesis and antitumor activity of amino acid ester derivatives containing 5-fluorouracil.

A series of amino acid ester derivatives containing 5-fluorouracil were synthesized using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC*HCl) and N-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) as a coupling agent. The structures of the products were assigned by NMR, MS, IR etc. The in vitro antitumor activity tests against leukaemia HL-60 and liver cancer BEL-7402 indicated that (R)-ethyl 2-(2...

Aminoglycoside antibiotics: synthesis of 5''-amino-5''-deoxyneomycin and 5''-amino-5''-deoxyparomomycin.

Inhibition of Ribonucleic Acid Polymerase by 5-Hydroxyuridine 5’-Triphosphate*

5-Hydroxyuridine triphosphate was synthesized and its effectiveness as substrate for deoxyribonucleic acid-dependent ribonucleic acid polymerase was determined. The analogue was incorporated into RNA to a very low extent as compared to naturally occurring nucleoside triphosphates, and it replaced uridine triphosphate to a much greater extent than any of the other nucleoside triphosphates. The a...

Electrochemical Synthesis of 5-Aminosalicylic Acid from 5- Nitrosalicylic Acid in Alkaline Media

5-Aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) is currently prepared by electrochemical reduction of 5-nitrosalicylic acid (5-NSA) in acidic media. In this work, electrolytic reduction of 5-NSA in alkaline media is presented. Reactionconditions and parameters such as anode and cathode electrodes, electrolyte type, reaction time, temperature,current, and the pH for isolation of product are investigated. The yiel...
