Acetylcholine and its thiolester and selenolester analogs: conformation, electron distribution, and biological activity.

چکیده
The crystal structures of acetylthiolcholine bromide and propionylthiolcholine iodide were elucidated. Acetylthiolcholine was found to be essentially isosteric with acetylselenolcholine, while the conformation of these compounds was quite different from that of acetylcholine. The importance of conformation and electron distribution in the biological actions of choline esters is discussed.

Interaction of cholinergic ligands and local anesthetics with plasma membrane fragments from lobster axon.
Isologous local anesthetics containing the ester, thiolester, or selenolester grouping and their quaternary ammonium analogs were studied for their ability to displace [3H]nicotine from plasma membrane fragments of lobster nerve. Tertiary and quaternary analogs were equiactive. The relative ability of oxo, thio, and seleno analogs to displace nicotine was the same as their relative ability to b...
متن کاملLigand binding specificity of a rabbit alveolar macrophage receptor for C3b.
We have recently reported the isolation from rabbit alveolar macrophages of a receptor which retained its ligand-binding activity for the third component of complement (C3) and for its major proteolytic derived activation fragment (C3b). The isolated receptor demonstrated a greater ability to bind C3b than an equimolar amount of C3. C3b differs from C3 in at least two ways: it is a proteolytic ...
متن کاملGyration Radius and Energy Study at Different Temperatures for Acetylcholine Receptor Protein in Gas Phase by Monte Carlo, Molecular and Langevin Dynamics Simulations
The determination of gyration radius is a strong research for configuration of a Macromolecule. Italso reflects molecular compactness shape. In this work, to characterize the behavior of theprotein, we observe quantities such as the radius of gyration and the average energy. We studiedthe changes of these factors as a function of temperature for Acetylcholine receptor protein in gasphase with n...

The use of quantitative structure–activity relationships, since its advent, has becomeincreasingly helpful in understanding many aspects of biochemical interactions in drug research.This approach was utilized to explain the relationship of structure with biological activity ofantibacterial. For the development of new fungicides against, the quantitative structural–activityrelationship (QSAR) an...
متن کاملA QUANTUM CHEMICAL STUDY OF THE CONFORMATION OF ALINIDINE A NEW ANTIARRHYTHMIC AGENT
The conformation of alinidine a new and specific bradycardic agent was studied using MNDO method. It has been found that the rotation of both phenyl and imidazoline ring of this compound is restricted. Of two possible isomers of irnidazoline ring, the one with NH in the cis position to allyl side chain is slightly more stable. On the other hand, the allyl group can rotate freely and at leas...
