The C-peptide of ribonuclease A (residues 1 to 13) is obtained by cyanogen bromide cleavage at Met13, which converts methionine to a mixture of homoserine lactone (giving C-peptide lactone) and homoserine carboxylate (giving C-peptide carboxylate). The helix-forming properties of C-peptide lactone have been reported. The helix is formed intramolecularl$ in aqueous solution, is stabilized at’ lo...

3D-pharmacophore and 2D-QSAR modeling studies describe the anti-oncological properties of spiro-alkaloids. The dispiro[2H-indene-2,3'-pyrrolidine-2',3''-[3H]indole]-1,2''(1''H, 3H)-diones 20-38 were prepared via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of azomethine ylides (generated in situ via decarboxylative condensation of isatins 7-9 with sarcosine 10) and 2-(arylmethylidene)-2,3-dihydro-1H-ind...

The title compound {systematic name: spiro-[cyclo-pentane-1,2'(1'H)-quinazolin]-4'(3'H)-one]}, C(12)H(14)N(2)O, has been reported previously [Klemm, Weakley, Gilbertson & Song (1998 ▶). J. Heterocycl Chem. 35, 1269-1273]. Its structure has been redetermined at 113 K with greater precision for all data. The mol-ecule is built up from two fused six-membered rings and one five-membered ring linked...

Increasing interests have been invested in the development of synthetic strategies toward the construction of spiro[pyrrolidine-2,3'-oxindole], which is the core structural skeleton in some compounds with diverse biological activities. In this work, an efficient diastereoselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of azomethine ylides generated in situ from 3-amino oxindoles and aldehydes with...

Only a limited number of spiro compounds has been reported in which both components have a phosphazene or phosphazenelike skeleton. The first member of this class, viz. NP[(NPCl2)2NCH3](NPCl2)2 (Fig. l.A), was prepared by Lehr [2] by means of a Kirsanov conversion of (NPC12)2NP(NH2)2 into (NPC12)2NP(NPC13)2, followed by a ring closure reaction using [(CH3)3Si]2NCH3. Two other routes have been d...

[structure: see text]. Idesolide, a new spiro compound possessing tetrahydrobenzodioxole structure, was isolated from the fruits of Idesia polycarpa Maxim. Its structure was established by NMR and MS spectroscopic analysis with single-crystal X-ray experiments. Idesolide significantly reduced nitric oxide production induced by lipopolysaccharide in BV2 microglial cells.

In the title spiro-phosphazene derivative, C33H46N9OP3, the phosphazene and six-membered N/O rings are in flattened chair and twisted-boat conformations, respectively. The naphthalene ring system and the pyridine ring are oriented at a dihedral angle of 41.82 (4)°. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules related by translation along the a axis into chains. C-H⋯π inter-acti...

IR, UV-visible spectroscopy, circular dichroism, 1H and 13C NMR studies, high resolution electron impact, field desorption, and fast atom bombardment mass spectral studies are reported for fredericamycin A (NSC-305263), a novel antitumor antibiotic of acid-base indicator type produced by Streptomyces griseus (FCRC-48). The spectral data are correlated with the structure obtained by X-ray crysta...

The title compound, C(28)H(30)N(2), is a symmetrical 2:2 product from the condensation of indole and cyclo-hexa-none. It is the only reported 5,11-dihydro-indolo[3,2-b]carbazole compound in which the spiro atoms are quaternary C atoms. Crystals were grown by vapor diffusion in a three-zone electric furnace. The mol-ecule resides on a crystallographic inversion center. The cyclo-hexyl rings are ...

Phelligridin G is an unusual natural product that contains an embedded spiro-fused furanone core. We have investigated two furan-based synthetic approaches towards the spirocyclic core structure of this natural product from readily available 2-phenylfurans. Although initial studies involving an oxidative cyclization were unsuccessful, we were ultimately able to access this key system through ...
