Studies have been made previously on the ef fect of ethionine on the free amino acids in the livers of tumorous and nontumorous rats of the Long-Evans (6, 8), Sprague-Dawley (13), and Wistar (9) strains. Attempts at dual blocking, with pairs of antimetabolites, have also been re ported (12). The observation that certain amino acids may function as antimetabolites in inhibiting tumor growth (3, ...

The preparation of 1,2-anhydro-2',6'-di-N-benzyloxycarbonyl-1-deaminofortimicin B-4,5-carbamate (4) and its conversion to the two diastereomeric 2',6'-di-N-benzyloxycarbonyl-1-deamino-2-deoxy-1,2-epoxyfortimicin B-4,5-carbamates 7 and 13 are described. The olefin 4 was used for preparation of 1-deamino-2-deoxyfortimicin A (6d) while the beta-epoxide 13 was used for the preparation of 1,2-di-epi...

IN THE TITLE SALT (SYSTEMATIC NAME: 6-amino-9H-purin-1-ium perchlorate), C(5)H(6)N(5) (+)·ClO(4) (-), the adeninium cation is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.038 (1) Å. The whole of the perchlorate anion is disordered over two sets of sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.589 (13):0.411 (13). In the crystal, the adeninium cations are linked by pairs of N-H⋯N hydrogen bond into in...

The emission from two photoactive 14-membered macrocyclic ligands, 6-((naphthalen-1-ylmethyl)-amino)-trans-6,13-dimethyl-13-amino-1,4,8,11-tetraaza-cyclotetradecane (L1) and 6-((anthracen-9-ylmethyl)-amino)-trans-6,13-dimethyl-13-amino-1,4,8,11-tetraaza-cyclotetradecane (L2) is strongly quenched by a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) mechanism involving amine lone pairs as electron donors. T...

Whole-body and splanchnic metabolism of dietary amino acids derived from casein (CAS) or the corresponding crystalline L-amino acid mixture (AA) were compared. Male adult rats were adapted for 9 d to two isoenergetic, isonitrogenous diets (15 g/100 g protein, 5 g/100 g fat) containing either CAS or AA. On d 10, the rats were fed a single mixed meal (3 g dry mass) containing either intrinsically...

Four experiments were conducted to determine whether betaine (BET) could replace dietary methionine (MET) in diets for weanling pigs. Pigs in each experiment were allotted to treatments on the basis of weight in a randomized complete block design. Each treatment was replicated four (Exp. 4), five (Exp. 1 and 2), or six (Exp. 3) times with five or six pigs per replicate. In Exp. 1, pigs were fed...

Synthesis of 2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenylmethyl-3-[4-(2-substitutedphenyl-4-oxo-thiazolidinyl)aryl]-6-bromo quinazolin-4(3H)ones VIa-j have been achieved from the starting material 2-[(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino] phenylacetic acid I to benzoxazine III, Further reaction with p-phenylindiamine and substituted aromatic aldehyde gave 2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenyl methyl-3-(4-aminoary...
