Natural halogenated fatty acids: their analogues and derivatives.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A comprehensive survey has been made of all fatty acids containing halogen atoms covalently bonded to carbon and which are deemed as naturally occurring. Generally thought to be minor components produced by many different organisms, these interesting compounds now number more than 300. Recent research, especially in the marine area, indicates this number will increase in the future. Sources of halogenated fatty acids include microorganisms, algae, marine invertebrates, and higher plants and some animals. Their possible biological significance has also been discussed

Mismatch discrimination of base-modified nucleic acids and their constituents: non-Watson-Crick base pairing induced by tautomerization.
The effect of tautomerism on the mismatch discrimination was studied on 7-deazapurine and 8-aza-7-deazapurine analogues of isoguanosine. 7-Halogenated 7-deaza-2'-deoxyisoguanosines show better base pair discrimination than 2'-deoxyisoguanosine due to the more favored keto tautomer formation. 8-Aza-7-deazaisoguanosine and its 7-halogeno derivatives also show higher keto tautomer population than ...
متن کاملModel studies in cytochrome P-450-mediated toxicity of halogenated compounds: radical processes involving iron porphyrins.
Haloalkane toxicity originates from attack on biological targets by reactive intermediates derived from haloalkane metabolism by a hemoprotein, cytochrome P-450. Carbon-centered radicals and their peroxyl derivatives are most likely involved. The reactions of iron porphyrin--a model for cytochrome P-450--with various carbon-centered and peroxyl radicals generated by pulse radiolysis are examine...

BACKGROUND It is seen that the regioselective functionalizations of halogenated heterocycles play an important role in the synthesis of several types of organic compounds. In this domain, the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction has emerged as a convenient way to build carbon-carbon bonds in synthesizing organic compounds. Some of the most important applications of these reactions can be seen in the synthes...
متن کاملVersatile synthesis of phenoxydiazirine-based fatty acid analogues and photoreactive galactosylceramide.
A versatile synthesis of diazirine-based photoreactive fatty acid analogues is reported. The key step is phenoxy alkylation of diazirine with halo alkyl acid esters. The conditions described will be acceptable for the synthesis of various alkyl-length derivatives. The fatty acid derivatives are acceptors for reverse reactions of sphingolipid ceramide N-deacylase (SCDase), which catalyzes the co...

An efficient method for the simultaneous determination of the degradation products of nonylphenol polyethoxylates (NPnEOs, n = number of ethoxy units), i.e., nonylphenol (NP), NPnEOs (n = 1-3), nonylphenoxy carboxylic acids (NPnECs, n = 1-2, number of ethoxy units plus an acetate) and their halogenated derivatives (XNP, XNP1EO and XNP1EC; X = Br or Cl), in water samples were developed. After tr...
