a simple, mild and efficient method for the regioselective nitration of various aromatic compounds usingpoly(4-vinylpyridinium nitrate) (p4vpyn) in the presence of melamine trisulfonic acid (mtsa), is reported.this method provides several advantages such as good selectiveity between ortho and para positions ofaromatic compounds, clean procedure, simple work-up, short reaction times, solvent-fre...

This review highlights the state of the art in the field of continuous flow nitration with miniaturized devices. Although nitration has been one of the oldest and most important unit reactions, the advent of miniaturized devices has paved the way for new opportunities to reconsider the conventional approach for exothermic and selectivity sensitive nitration reactions. Four different approaches ...

Nitration of isoquinoline and phthalazine has been successfully demonstrated using a novel process which does not require strong acids. In this study, nitration of isoquinoline was repeated and the method applied to 1-nitroisoquinoline and the azaaromatics quinoline, quinazoline, quinoxaline and pyridine. Nitration of only quinoline was observed, with a product yield lower than that reported fo...

Copper(II) is known to catalyze the generation of reactive nitrogen species in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, nitrite or nitric oxide, leading to tyrosine nitration, a biomarker for free radical species associated diseases. Here, we find that biological antioxidants such as ascorbic acid can promote tyrosine nitration in the presence of copper(II) and nitrite under aerobic and weak acidic c...

The tyrosine nitration of proteins has been observed in diverse inflammatory conditions and has been linked to the presence of reactive nitrogen species. From many in vitro experiments, it is apparent that tyrosine nitration may alter the function of proteins. A limited number of experiments under in vivo conditions also demonstrate that protein nitration is associated with altered cellular pro...

As an important covalent post-translational modification, Tyrosine nitration is closely related to the causes of various diseases. However, its mechanism is still largely unknown. Based on experimentally verified tyrosine nitration sites, we introduced a novel computational approach to analyze tyrosine nitration. Nearest Neighbor algorithm armed by maximum relevancy minimum redundancy feature s...

The occurrence of protein tyrosine nitration under disease conditions is now firmly established and represents a shift from the signal transducing physiological actions of (.)NO to oxidative and potentially pathogenic pathways. Tyrosine nitration is mediated by reactive nitrogen species such as peroxynitrite anion (ONOO(-)) and nitrogen dioxide ((.)NO2), formed as secondary products of (.)NO me...

Modification of tyrosine residues and formation of 3-nitrotyrosine is one of the most commonly identified effects of reactive nitrogen species on proteins. In this study we evaluated the presence and localization of tyrosine nitration in various ventilatory and limb muscles. We also assessed the contribution of the neuronal (nNOS), the endothelial (eNOS), and the inducible (iNOS) isoforms of ni...

Nitric oxide (NO) and related molecules (reactive nitrogen species) regulate diverse physiological processes mainly through posttranslational modifications such as protein tyrosine nitration (PTN). PTN is a covalent and specific modification of tyrosine (Tyr) residues resulting in altered protein structure and function. In the last decade, great efforts have been made to reveal candidate protei...
