چکیده

Thymidine was reacted in methanol with four epoxides of varying mutagenicities: propylene oxide, glycidol, epichlorohydrin and trichloropropylene oxide. A single product was detected with each epoxide, and these products had the same retention times on silica high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). UV spectra of the products identified them as 3-alkylthymidines, and this was confirmed by infrared (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra. Mass spectra (MS) analysis showed the products to be consistent with attachment at the least substituted carbon of the epoxide. Formation of 3-alkylthymidines correlated to Taft sigma electron withdrawing values for the substituents on the epoxides and mutagenicities in strain TA100 of the Ames Assay.

Mutagenicity of aryl propylene and butylene oxides with salmonella.

10 aryl propylene oxides and 6 aryl butylene oxides were synthesized. Dose-mutagenicity relationships were studied for these compounds and for 1,2-epoxybutane, using both the preincubation and plate incorporation Ames tests with Salmonella typhimurium strains TA100 and TA1535. Structure-mutagenicity relationships were further examined by concurrent testing at single doses with the plate incorpo...

Study of Catalyst and Co- Catalyst Effect on Preparation of Lubricant from Heavy Propylene Tetramer (HPT)

In this research we used Heavy Propylene Tetramer (HPT) and A1C13 —BF3 (Lewis acids) ascatalyst and ethanol, n-propanol and n-butanol as co-catalyst. Using Lewis acids as catalyst, theHPTs form molecules with higher molecular weight. Since the raw materials of the reaction are byproducts of other reactions, are not pure and contain various compounds with different M.W andalso different chemical...

Tobacco-Specific Nitrosamine-Derived O2-Alkylthymidines Are Potent Mutagenic Lesions in SOS-Induced Escherichia coli

To investigate the biological effects of the O(2)-alkylthymidines induced by the tobacco-specific nitrosamine 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK), we have replicated a plasmid containing O(2)-methylthymidine (O(2)-Me-dT) or O(2)-[4-(3-pyridyl-4-oxobut-1-yl]thymidine (O(2)-POB-dT) in Escherichia coli with specific DNA polymerase knockouts. High genotoxicity of the adducts was ma...

Production and Characterization of Murine Monoclonal Antibodies Recognizing Conformational and Linear Epitopes Localized on Human IgA2 Molecules

Background: There are two subclasses of human IgA (IgA1 and IgA2) that differ in antigenic properties and in chemical composition. The constant domains of α1 and α2 heavy chains have >95% sequence homology though major structural differences exist in the hinge region. Quantitation of IgA subclass levels depends on the availability of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for conserved conformat...

Synthesis of propylene carbonate from urea and propylene glycol over zinc oxide: A homogeneous reaction

Abstract: In this work, several metal oxides and zinc salts were used to catalyze propylene carbonate (PC) synthesis from urea and propylene glycol (PG). According to the results of catalytic test and characterization, the catalytic pattern of ZnO was different from that of other metal oxides such as CaO, MgO and La2O3, but similar to that of zinc salts. In fact, the leaching of Zn species took...
