Synthesis of convolutamines and lutamides, new 2,4,6-tribromo-3-methoxyphenethylamine alkaloids isolated from Floridian marine bryozoan Amathia convoluta, was accomplished by a sequence of reactions starting from 3-hydroxyphenethylamines. Cytotoxities of the synthetic lutamides, convolutamines and their de-O-methyl derivatives were examined using drug-sensitive and -resistant P388 as well as KB...

Cytochrome P450 (P450) 2D6 is involved in the oxidation of a large fraction ( 30%) of drugs used by humans and also catalyzes the O-demethylation of the model substrates 3and 4-methoxyphenethylamine followed by subsequent ring hydroxylation to dopamine. Burst kinetics were not observed; rate-limiting step(s) must occur prior to product formation. Rates of reduction of ferric P450 2D6 were stimu...

suzuki cross-coupling reaction of different aryl halides with arylboronic acids was successfully carried out in methanol using ortho-palladated complex of 2-methoxyphenethylamine. all substrates afforded the corresponding products in good to high yields in the presence of low amounts of this complex as efficient and active catalyst. application of microwave irradiation improved the yields of th...

This work describes the immobilization of purine and pyrimidine bases and immobilization/hybridization of synthetic oligonucleotides on graphite electrodes modified with poly(4-methoxyphenethylamine) produced in acid medium. The immobilization of adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine on these modified electrodes was efficient, producing characteristic peaks. Another relevant observation is tha...

the application of the [pd{c6h3(ch2ch2nh2)-4-ome-5-κ2-c,n}(μ-br)]2 complex of 2-methoxyphenethylamine in the heck coupling reaction was considered under both conventional and microwave irradiation conditions, and their results were compared. this complex is an efficient, stable and non-sensitive to air and moisture catalyst for the vinylation of substituted aryl halides with different electroni...
