Porphyrins amino

To date, the most extensively studied polyboron hydride compounds in BNCT research have been the icosahedral mercaptoborane derivatives Na2[B22H22SH] and Na [(B22H22S)2], which have been used in human trials with some, albeit limited, success. New generations of tumor-localizing boronated compounds are being developed. The dose-selectivity problem of BNCT has been approached using boron hydride compounds in combination with a variety of deUvery vehicles including boronated polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies, porphyrins, amino acids, nucleotides, carbohydrates, and hposomes. Boron neutron capture therapy has been the subject of recent reviews (254). 

The magnesium of chlorophyll could be replaced by vanadium and the other elements found in metal-porphyrins. Amino acid chelates of the transition metals are quite soluble and could be responsible for long distance transport of some of these elements. Furthermore, this author believes that the preservation... 

Figure 3. Synthetic scheme for the preparation of porphyrin-amino acid or porphyrin- peptide receptors 2-11 for targeting protein surfaces. 1 (TCPP) and other TPP variants are conveniently prepared using the Lindsey procedure (BF3, methylene chloride, dilute). The carboxylic acids provide an attachment site for various amino acids and peptides, via amide bond formation. X corresponds to appropriately protected amino acids to make 2-11.

A major trend in organic synthesis, however, is the move towards complex systems. It may happen that one needs to combine a steroid and a sugar molecule, a porphyrin and a carotenoid, a penicillin and a peptide. Also the specialists in a field have developed reactions and concepts that may, with or without modifications, be applied in other fields. If one needs to protect an amino group in a steroid, it is advisable not only to search the steroid literature but also to look into publications on peptide synthesis. In the synthesis of corrin chromophores with chiral centres, special knowledge of steroid, porphyrin, and alkaloid chemistry has been very helpful (R.B. Woodward, 1967 A. Eschenmoser, 1970). 

Proteins may consist exclusively of a polymeric chain of amino acids these are the simple proteins. Quite often some other chemical component is covalendy bonded to the amino acid chain. Glycoproteins and Hpoproteins contain sugar and Hpid components, respectively. Porphyrins are frequently associated with proteins, eg, in hemoglobin. Proteins bound to other chemical components are called conjugated proteins. Most enzymes are conjugated proteins.

Under physiologic conditions in the human adult, 1—2 X 10 erythrocytes are destroyed per hour. Thus, in 1 day, a 70-kg human turns over approximately 6 g of hemoglobin. When hemoglobin is destroyed in the body, globin is degraded to its constiment amino acids, which are reused, and the iron of heme enters the iron pool, also for reuse. The iron-free porphyrin portion of heme is also degraded, mainly in the reticuloendothehal cells of the liver, spleen, and bone marrow. 

Carbenoid N-H insertion of amines with diazoacetates provides a useful means for the synthesis of ot-amino esters. Fe(III) porphyrins [64] and Fe(III/IV) corroles [65] are efficient catalysts for N-H carbenoid insertion of various aromatic and aliphatic amines using EDA as a carbene source (Scheme 16). The insertion reactions occur at room temperature and can be completed in short reaction times and with high product yields. It is performed in a one-pot fashion without the need for slow...

Bied-Charreton (63) showed by XH NMR spectroscopy that a zinc porphyrin bearing a primary amino group attached via a flexible spacer to the meta position of a /neso-phenyl ring spontaneously dimerizes in solution via NH Zn coordination. The corresponding ortho derivative shows an equilibrium between the dimeric form and the intramolecu-larly coordinated monomer. ESR spectroscopy was used to demonstrate the same behavior in the corresponding cobalt porphyrin (64). 

The reduction electrochemistry of ECP porphyrin films furthermore responds to added axial ligands in the expected ways. We have tested this (2,6) for the ECP form of the iron complex of tetra(o-amino)phenyl)porphyrin by adding chloride and various nitrogeneous bases to the contacting solutions, observing the Fe(III/II) wave shift to expected potentials based on the monomer behavior in solution. This is additional evidence that the essential porphyrin structure is preserved during the oxidation of the monomer and its incorporation into a polymeric film. 

In terms of synthetic methodologies for the preparation of porphyrinic azomethine ylides, the porphyrin moiety, in the examples above, was the carbonyl component. However, there are also examples where the porphyrin is used as the a-amino acid component. 

Our first entry to the use of porphyrins as dipolarophiles in 1,3-DC reactions involved the reaction of porphyrins with azomethinic ylides, generated in situ from a-amino acids and aldehydes, to yield chlorins and isobacteriochlorins (bisadducts) <99CC1767, 05JOC2306>.
