Amino acids, acetyl derivatives

The structurally similar amino acid-RNA derivatives also react rapidly with hydroxylamine and are energy-rich compounds, since they are in reversible equilibrium with ATP (Hoagland et al, 1958 Mager and Lipmann, 1958 Holley and Goldstein, 1959). Within the acyl phosphate series, acetyl adenylate (1737 cm ) has a free energy of hydrolysis at pH 7 which is similar to that of acetylimidazole and is...

Serum albumin, in addition to its important osmotic function, shows specific powers of reversible combination with a large variety of molecules. These include the anions and cations of many acid and basic dyes the anions of fatty acids and alkyl sulfonic acids, of many aromatic carboxylic acids and acetylated amino acids sulfonamide derivatives many types of naphthoquinone derivatives and a variety of other compounds. All these substances show a very strong preferential tendency to combine with albumin, rather than with the other proteins of... 

The most suitable synthetic method for these products is the heterocyc-lization reaction of N-thioacyl derivatives of amino acids (202) with phosphorus tribromide (378, 442-450, 559, 560) or anhydrous trifluoroacetic acid (448, 449, 451, 452) (Scheme 103). Treatment of N-thioacyl amino acids with acetic anhydride leads directly to the thiazolylacetate without isolation of an intermediate thiazolinone (365. 452). 2-Alkoxy-derivatives of A-2-thiazoline-5-one, however, can be obtained without acetylation by this method (453, 454). 

Nonvolatile analytes must be chemically converted to a volatile derivative before analysis. For example, amino acids are not sufficiently volatile to analyze directly by gas chromatography. Reacting an amino acid with 1-butanol and acetyl chloride produces an esterfied amino acid. Subsequent treatment with trifluoroacetic acid gives the amino acid s volatile N-trifluoroacetyl- -butyl ester derivative. 

Inactivation and Removal of Viruses. In developing methods of plasma fractionation, the possibiHty of transmitting infection from human vimses present in the starting plasma pool has been recognized (4,5). Consequentiy, studies of product stabiHty encompass investigation of heat treatment of products in both solution (100) and dried (101) states to estabHsh vimcidal procedures that could be appHed to the final product. Salts of fatty acid anions, such as sodium caprylate [1984-06-17, and the acetyl derivative of the amino acid tryptophan, sodium acetyl-tryptophanate [87-32-17, are capable of stabilizing albumin solutions to 60°C for 10 hours (100) this procedure prevents the transmission of viral hepatitis (102,103). The degree of protein stabilization obtained (104) and the safety of the product in clinical practice have been confirmed (105,106). The procedure has also been shown to inactivate the human immunodeficiency vims (HIV) (107). 

The acetyl-CoA derived from amino acid degradation is normally insufficient for fatty acid biosynthesis, and the acetyl-CoA produced by pyruvate dehydrogenase and by fatty acid oxidation cannot cross the mitochondrial membrane to participate directly in fatty acid synthesis. Instead, acetyl-CoA is linked with oxaloacetate to form citrate, which is transported from the mitochondrial matrix to the cytosol (Figure 25.1). Here it can be converted back into acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate by ATP-citrate lyase. In this manner, mitochondrial acetyl-CoA becomes the substrate for cytosolic fatty acid synthesis. (Oxaloacetate returns to the mitochondria in the form of either pyruvate or malate, which is then reconverted to acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate, respectively.)... 

Preparation of PhAcOZ amino acids proceeds from the chloroformate, and cleavage is accomplished enzymatically with penicillin G acylase (pH 7 phosphate buffer, 25°, NaHS03, 40-88% yield). In a related approach, the 4-ace-toxy derivative is used, but in this case deprotection is achieved using the lipase, acetyl esterase, from oranges (pH 7, NaCl buffer, 45°, 57-70% yield). 

Derivatives of nalidixic acid (69a-69d), containing an amino or acetyl-amino substituent at position 7 and an alkyl group at N-1, were successfully nitrated to give (70a-70d). However, in all cases hydrolysis of the amino and acetylamino group was observed (79YZ155 80CPB235). 

The hydration of 5-amino-3-cyano-l-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-4-ethynylpyrazole was performed with p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate in acetonitrile (2 h, room temperature) to give the corresponding 4-acetyl derivative. An alkyl substituent at the triple bond decreases the rate of hydration the conversion of 5-amino-3-cyano-l-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifiuoromethylphenyl)-4-(prop-l-yn-l-yl) pyrazole to the 4-propanoylpyrazole was completed after 18 h (98INP9804530 99EUP933363). 

The melting point of the ethyl ester of 2-amino-4-methylselena-zole-5-carboxylic acid is given as 180-181 °C and that of the free acid as 181-182°C. In addition, the melting points of the acetyl derivatives are very close to each other. These facts led King and...

The citrate cycle is the final common pathway for the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from the metabolism of pyruvate, fatty acids, ketone bodies, and amino acids (Krebs, 1943 Greville, 1968). This is sometimes known as the Krebs or tricarboxylic acid cycle. Acetyl-CoA combines with oxaloacetate to form citrate which then undergoes a series of reactions involving the loss of two molecules of CO2 and four dehydrogenation steps. These reactions complete the cycle by regenerating oxaloacetate which can react with another molecule of acetyl-CoA (Figure 4). 

The main application of the enzymatic hydrolysis of the amide bond is the en-antioselective synthesis of amino acids [4,97]. Acylases (EC 3.5.1.n) catalyze the hydrolysis of the N-acyl groups of a broad range of amino acid derivatives. They accept several acyl groups (acetyl, chloroacetyl, formyl, and carbamoyl) but they require a free a-carboxyl group. In general, acylases are selective for i-amino acids, but d-selective acylase have been reported. The kinetic resolution of amino acids by acylase-catalyzed hydrolysis is a well-established process [4]. The in situ racemization of the substrate in the presence of a racemase converts the process into a DKR. Alternatively, the remaining enantiomer of the N-acyl amino acid can be isolated and racemized via the formation of an oxazolone, as shown in Figure 6.34. 

Clerici and Porta reported that phenyl, acetyl and methyl radicals add to the Ca atom of the iminium ion, PhN+Me=CHMe, formed in situ by the titanium-catalyzed condensation of /V-methylanilinc with acetaldehyde to give PhNMeCHMePh, PhNMeCHMeAc, and PhNMeCHMe2 in 80% overall yield.83 Recently, Miyabe and co-workers studied the addition of various alkyl radicals to imine derivatives. Alkyl radicals generated from alkyl iodide and triethylborane were added to imine derivatives such as oxime ethers, hydrazones, and nitrones in an aqueous medium.84 The reaction also proceeds on solid support.85 A-sulfonylimines are also effective under such reaction conditions.86 Indium is also effective as the mediator (Eq. 11.49).87 A tandem radical addition-cyclization reaction of oxime ether and hydrazone was also developed (Eq. 11.50).88 Li and co-workers reported the synthesis of a-amino acid derivatives and amines via the addition of simple alkyl halides to imines and enamides mediated by zinc in water (Eq. 11.51).89 The zinc-mediated radical reaction of the hydrazone bearing a chiral camphorsultam provided the corresponding alkylated products with good diastereoselectivities that can be converted into enantiomerically pure a-amino acids (Eq. 11.52).90...
