We examined the effects of weakly basic amines on the secretion and post-translational modifications of secretory proteins in cultured rat hepatocytes. Weakly basic amines such as methylamine, chloroquine and NH4Cl strongly inhibited not only protein secretion, but also the proteolytic conversion of a proform of complement C3, allowing the precursor to be released into the medium. The amines, h...

The existence of protonated hydroxymethylamines of sec+ ondary amines, RzNHCHtOH, in equilibrium with hydroxymethylamines and protonated amines, has been demonstrated by titration at equilibrium and by rapid titration of the protonated hydroxymethylamines. Analogous compounds, . R3NCHeOH, are formed from formaldehyde and the sterically favorable tertiary amines: pyridine, iv-methylimidazole, an...

Acetylation with acetic anhydride, under both aqueous and anhydrous conditions, has been utilized to derivatize various biogenic amines and psychotropic drugs for subsequent analysis by gas chromatography (GC) or gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Under basic aqueous conditions, acetic anhydride derivatizes phenols and amines but not alcohols; under anhydrous conditions, all three fu...

The polyamine content of isolated E. coli ribosomes is dependent on the nature and concentration of the ions in the medium used for their preparation. When ribosomes are suspended in medium containing amines, the external amines are taken up by the ribosomes. When large amounts of amines are taken up by the ribosomes, part of the original ribosomal amines are displaced into the medium. Magnesiu...

The direct nucleophilic addition of alkyl amines to the α(δ')-carbon atom of dimethyl (E)-hex-2-en-4-ynedioate to generate α,β-dehydroamino acid derivatives is reported. Herein, we have studied the reactivity of various primary and secondary alkyl amines in the α-selective nucleophilic conjugate addition to conjugated dimethyl (E)-hex-2-en-4-ynedioate. The reaction with primary alkyl amines giv...

The ruthenium-triphos and diphosphine-catalysed amination of alcohols with ammonia is reported. Various types of triphos derivatives with electron-donating functional group were synthesized and used as ligands in the Ru-catalysed alcohol amination with NH3. The triphos derivatives are effective for the formation of primary amines. On the other hand, if hemilabile diphosphines as tridentate liga...

Secondary phosphine oxides R2P(O)H are a relatively stable tautomeric form of secondary phosphinous acids R2P–OH that with imine/iminium species, or their donors, compounds P(O)–Csp3–N linkage (the phospha-Mannich reaction). These can be referred to as (α-aminoalkyl)phosphine oxides, (α-phosphinoylalkyl)amines, P(O),N-acetals. Compared P–Csp3–N linkages P,N-acetals, products reactions involving...

This work focused on the CO2 capture by absorption into amines based absorbents. Aqueous mixtures containing different types of amines (MEA, MDEA, AMP, PZ and PZEA) are experimentally compared in a special gas-liquid contactor (a cables-bundle contactor) with respect to the CO2 removal performances at 25°C and atmospheric pressure. This absorption process was also simulated with the use of publ...

The paper deals with the curing behaviour of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) using three novel multifunctional aromatic amines having phosphine oxide and amide-acid linkages. The amines were prepared by reacting tris(3-aminophenyl)phosphine oxide (TAP) with 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid anhydride (P)/4,4-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic acid anhydride (F)/3,3,4,4-benzophenonet...
