a-Amino Acid Esters, Peptide Esters, Platinum(IV) Complexes, "N NMR Spectra, Pt NMR Spectra The platinum(IV) complexes PtX4L2 (X = Cl, Br; 2 X = oxalate; L = glyOEt, glyglyOEt, gly-cleuOEt; 2 L = metOEt) have been obtained by oxidative addition of halogenes to platinum(II) compounds PtX2L2A high field shift of <3N (—50 ppm) is observed for the coordinated amino acid ligand of various platinum c...

A multicomponent evaluation of the oxidative consumption of salivary biomolecules by a hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)containing tooth-whitening formulation has been performed using high-resolution proton (H) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Unstimulated human saliva samples (n = 10) were treated with aliquots of supernatants derived from 1) the H2O2-containing whitening gel, 2) the corr...

We sought to examine the potential role of oxidative stress on skeletal muscle function with advancing age. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was employed to simultaneously assess muscle perfusion (arterial spin labeling) and energetics ((31)P NMR spectroscopy) in the lower leg of young (26 + or - 5 yr, n = 6) and older (70 + or - 5 yr, n = 6) healthy volunteers following the consumption of eith...

An organosilicon cation stabilized by intramolecular pyridyl coordination was effectively generated and accumulated by oxidative Si-Si bond dissociation of the corresponding disilane using low temperature electrolysis, and was characterized by NMR and CSI-MS.

A synthetic water-soluble meso-tetra(2,6-dichloro-3-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrinate of iron(III) chloride, Fe(TDCPPS)Cl, was employed as a biomimetic catalyst in the oxidative coupling of terrestrial humic materials. High-performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC), solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (CPMAS-(13)C NMR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and diffuse reflectance infrar...

Upon storage under aerobic conditions metallothioneins (MTs) form a new species, which is characterized by a molecular mass approximately twice the size of monomeric MT and shifted (113/111)Cd- and (1)H-NMR resonances. The investigation of this oxidative dimerization process by NMR spectroscopy allowed us to structurally characterize this MT species that has been described to occur in vivo and ...

The mechanism of an aerobic copper-catalyzed oxidative coupling reaction with N-phenyl tetrahydroisoquinoline was investigated. The oxidized species formed from the reaction of the amine with the copper catalyst were analyzed by NMR-spectroscopy. An iminium dichlorocuprate was found to be the reactive intermediate and could be structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. The effect of m...

The microsomal metabolism of 7-ethoxycoumarin (7-EC) was investigated using liquid chromatography (LC)-NMR and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to characterize the coupling of oxidative-conjugative metabolism events. Within microsomes, cytochromes P450 (P450s) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) are spatially disparate, each having surface and luminal localization, respective...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to examine whether (31)P NMR can efficiently detect X-ray radiation induced changes of energy metabolism in mice. Exposure to ionizing radiation causes changes in energy supply that are associated with the tissue damage because of oxidative stress and uncoupled oxidative phosphorylation. This has as a consequence decreased phosphocreatine to adenosine tripho...

Schiff base sal-2,5-Clan = 2-(2,5-dichlorobenzylideneamino)phenol used as a new precursor for preparation of poly-2-(2,5-dichlorobenzylideneamino)phenol (PDCBAP). In an aqueous alkaline medium, NaOCl oxidant is capable of oxidative poly-condensation reaction (OP). Both sal-2,5-Clan and PDCBAP were characterized by solubility tests, FT-IR, 1H-NMR spectroscopy and TG-DTA studies. FT-IR and 1H-NMR...
