Five geometrical isomers of lycopene were isolated from a photoisomerized mixture on a semi-preparative C30 column and characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. 1H NMR and 2D NMR measurements were used to unambiguously assign the double bond configuration of five isomers: (5Z,9’Z)-, (9Z)-, (5Z,9Z)-, (all-E)-, and (5Z)-lycopene. This will allow other laboratories to use the results for their C30 HPLC. In addition, it is possible to investigate structure-activity relationships for these lycopene isomers which will improve the understanding of their physiological role in biological tissues.

The potentially curare-like silicon compounds 8a-8f wore synthesized and investigated with respect to their structure-activity relationships. The conformations of the com­pounds in the solid state and in solution were studied by X-ray diffraction analysis (8a-8e) and 1H NMR spectroscopy (8a-8f), respectively. The muscle relaxing properties of 8a-8f were investigated on the mouse. The observed structure-activity relationships are not in accordance with the classical “14 Å model” for neuromuscular blocking agents.

AbstractThe polyphagous insect Sitophilus oryzae L. (Coleoptera:Curculionidae) has a tremendous adaptability in feeding behaviour, making it a serious invasive pest of stored cereals. The present study identifies the metabolite composition of Sitophilus oryzae (S. oryzae) using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Assignment of 1D-proton by NMR, 1H-1H COSY, 2D-TOCSY 1H-1H, had been done. Amongst the various biochemically important metabolites isoleucine, valine, leucine, β-hydroxybutyrate, lysine, glutamate, glutamine, proline, lactate, alanine, di-methylamine, α-glucose, β-glucose, choline, glycerophosphorylcholine and tyrosine are present in S. oryzae. In wheat-fed S. oryzae, the presence of threonine and the absence of lactate is observed. In rice-fed S. oryzae, however, the presence of lactate and the absence of threonine were observed. Barley-fed S. oryzae shows presence of both tyrosine and lactate. It is concluded that the pest S. oryzae has adaptability on different stored cereals and grains, depicting the presence of earlier reported metabolites. The present study aims to identify the key metabolic components and associated enzymes in Sitophilus oryzae fed on different cereals.

While psychedelics may have therapeutic potential for treating mental health disorders such as depression, further research is needed to better understand their biological effects and mechanisms of action when considering the development of future novel therapy approaches. Psychedelic research could potentially benefit from the integration of metabonomics by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy which is an analytical chemistry-based approach that can measure the breakdown of drugs into their metabolites and their metabolic consequences from various biofluids. We have performed a systematic review with the primary aim of exploring published literature where 1H NMR analysed psychedelic substances including psilocin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), LSD derivatives, N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT) and bufotenin. The second aim was to assess the benefits and limitations of 1H NMR spectroscopy-based metabolomics as a tool in psychedelic research and the final aim was to explore potential future directions. We found that the most current use of 1H NMR in psychedelic research has been for the structural elucidation and analytical characterisation of psychedelic molecules and that no papers used 1H NMR in the metabolic profiling of biofluids, thus exposing a current research gap and the underuse of 1H NMR. The efficacy of 1H NMR spectroscopy was also compared to mass spectrometry, where both metabonomics techniques have previously shown to be appropriate for biofluid analysis in other applications. Additionally, potential future directions for psychedelic research were identified as real-time NMR, in vivo1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and 1H NMR studies of the gut microbiome. Further psychedelic studies need to be conducted that incorporate the use of 1H NMR spectroscopy in the analysis of metabolites both in the peripheral biofluids and in vivo to determine whether it will be an effective future approach for clinical and naturalistic research.

Background:Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and multiple sclerosis (MS), two inflammatory demyelinating diseases, are characterized by different therapeutic strategies. Currently, the only biological diagnostic tool available to distinguish NMO from MS is the specific serum autoantibody that targets aquaporin 4, but its sensitivity is low.Objective:To assess the diagnostic accuracy of metabolomic biomarker profiles in these two neurological conditions, compared to control patients.Methods:We acquired serum spectra (47 MS, 44 NMO and 42 controls) using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy. We used multivariate pattern recognition analysis to identify disease-specific metabolic profiles.Results:The1H-NMR spectroscopic analysis evidenced two metabolites, originating probably from astrocytes, scyllo-inositol and acetate, as promising serum biomarkers of MS and NMO, respectively. In 87.8% of MS patients, scyllo-inositol increased 0.15 to 3-fold, compared to controls and in 74.3% of NMO patients, acetate increased 0.4 to 7-fold, compared to controls. Using these two metabolites simultaneously, we can discriminate MS versus NMO patients (sensitivity, 94.3%; specificity, 90.2%).Conclusion:This study demonstrates the potential of1H-NMR spectroscopy of serum as a novel, promising analytical tool to discriminate populations of patients affected by NMO or MS.

Ethyl (20E)-3β-methoxymethoxy-24-nor-5,20(22)-choladien-23-oate (Va) and analogous derivatives with 5α,5β and Δ5,14 steroid moiety (Vb,Vc and Vd, respectively) were prepared by Wittig-Horner reaction of the corresponding ketones IIa-IId with diethyl ethoxycarbonylmethylphosphonate. In this case the reaction affords exclusively the (E)-isomers, in contrast with the Peterson reaction with lithium salt of ethyl 2-(trimethylsilyl)acetate which gives a mixture of (E)- and (Z)-isomers at the Δ20(22) double bond. The structure of the products was confirmed by 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The crotonates Va-Vd were further converted into the 3-O-succinyl derivatives VIIIa-VIIId.

Stereochemistry of (E)- and (Z)-1-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-Y-ethylenes and 1-(5-nitro-2-thienyl)-2-Y-ethylenes (where Y = CH3O, 4-CH3C6H4O, N3 and Br) and of E and Z isomers of methyl 2-methyl-3-(2-furyl)propenoate and methyl 2-methyl-3-(2-thienyl)propenoate was studied by 1H NMR spectroscopy. With 1-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-Y-ethylenes, it was found that the preferred conformation of the furyl substituent relative to the side chain double bond is s-trans in the E isomers and s-cis in the Z isomers. The s-cis conformation is prevailing in both isomers of methyl 2-methyl-3-(2-furyl)propenoate. The E and Z isomers of all studied thiophene derivatives exist in the s-trans conformation.

Objective: The metabolites that constitute the rumen fluid and milk in dairy cattle were analyzed using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (<sup>1</sup>H-NMR) spectroscopy and compared with the results obtain for other dairy cattle herds worldwide. The aim was to provide basic dataset for facilitating research on metabolites in rumen fluid and milk.Methods: Six dairy cattle were used in this study. Rumen fluid was collected using a stomach tube, and milk was collected using a pipeline milking system. The metabolites were determined by <sup>1</sup>H-NMR spectroscopy, and the obtained data were statistically analyzed by principal component analysis, partial least squares discriminant analysis, variable importance in projection scores, and metabolic pathway data using Metaboanalyst 4.0.Results: The total numbers of metabolites in rumen fluid and milk were measured to be 186 and 184, and quantified as 72 and 109, respectively. Organic acid and carbohydrate metabolites exhibited the highest concentrations in rumen fluid and milk, respectively. Some metabolites that have been associated with metabolic diseases (acidosis and ketosis) in cows were identified in rumen fluid, and metabolites associated with ketosis, somatic cell production, and coagulation properties were identified in milk.Conclusion: The metabolites measured in rumen fluid and milk could potentially be used to detect metabolic diseases and evaluate milk quality. The results could also be useful for metabolomic research on the biofluids of ruminants in Korea, while facilitating their metabolic research.

Carbon-13 nmr chemical shifts of a number of E-silyl-alkenes containing the silyl substituent at an sp2 carbon atom are presented. Assignments of the chemical shifts have been made by noting systematic variations in the spectra with changes in substituents and by comparison of the chemical shifts to those of the corresponding unsubstituted alkenes. The substituent effects observed were explained on the basis of the π-acceptor ability of the silyl substituents and the structure of the molecules. Comparing the 13C nmr spectra of the E-silyl-alkenes and those of the corresponding unsubstituted alkenes, differential chemical shifts have been obtained which can be used as empirical substituent parameters for the prediction of the 13C nmr spectra of other E-silyl-alkenes not yet studied. It was also demonstrated that 13C nmr spectroscopy can be used without resorting to special techniques (gated decoupling and the addition of paramagnetics) as an alternative method to the 1H nmr for the quantitative analysis of mixtures of regio-isomer E-silyl-alkenes.
