Enolate-forming compounds provide protection from platinum neurotoxicity

Platinum neurotoxicity pharmacogenetics.

Cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin anticancer drugs are commonly used to treat lung, colorectal, ovarian, breast, head and neck, and genitourinary cancers. However, the efficacy of platinum-based drugs is often compromised because of the substantial risk for severe toxicities, including neurotoxicity. Neurotoxicity can result in both acute and chronic debilitation. Moreover, colorectal can...

Carbonyl Compounds Enols and Enolate Ons. Unsaturated and Polycarbonyl Compounds

ome of the most useful reactions of carbonyl compounds involve carbonhydrogen bonds adjacent to the carbonyl group. Such reactions, which can be regarded as the backbone of much synthetic organic chemistry, usually result in the replacement of the hydrogen by some other atom or group, as in the I I I I sequence H-C-C=O -+ X-C-C=O. The important examples we I I will consider in this chapter are ...

Enolate Ions and Enols Halogenation Reactions Alkylation Reactions Condensation Reactions Enolate Ions from -Dicarbonyl Compounds Other Reactions of Enolate Ions and Enols

18.1 Enolate Ions and Enols We described in Chapters 13 and 16 that the C=O group of carbonyl compounds is reactive to attack by both nucleophiles (N:) and electrophiles (E+). We also saw in Chapter 13 that the C=O group causes Hs attached to its α-C (H-Cα-C=O) to be unusually acidic. As a result, these α-CH's are removed by bases giving enolate ions (-:Cα-C=O) Figure 18.01) that can react as n...

Synthesis of mesomeric betaine compounds with imidazolium-enolate structure

The synthesis of a heterocyclic mesomeric betaine by quaternization reaction of 1-butylimidazole and tetrabromo-1,4-benzoquinone is presented. The structure was verified by means of X-ray single-crystal analysis, NMR and IR spectroscopy. Inclusion complexes of the heterocyclic mesomeric betaine with randomly methylated (1.8) β-cyclodextrin were investigated by UV-vis spectroscopy. Furthermore, ...
