The reactions between plasminogen-activator inhibitor (PAI) and different plasminogen activators were studied in the presence of chromogenic peptide substrates for the enzymes. Our findings suggest that the rate constants for the reactions of PAI with single-chain tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), two-chain tPA, high-Mr urokinase and low-Mr urokinase are high and quite similar (1.6 X 10(7)-3.9 X 10(7) M-1.s-1). A free active site in the enzymes seems to be necessary for their reaction with PAI. Amino acids with antifibrinolytic properties did not interfere with the reactions. However, di-isopropyl phosphorofluoridate-inactivated tPA inhibited the reaction between PAI and all plasminogen activators in a similar way. These findings clearly demonstrated that a ‘second-site’ interaction, in addition to that between the enzyme active site and the inhibitor ‘bait’ peptide bond, is of importance for the high reaction rate. The reaction rate between PAI and single-chain tPA in the presence of an activator substrate (D-Ile-Pro-Arg p-nitroanilide) was decreased in the presence of fibrin. Fibrin caused a decrease in the Km for the single-chain tPA-substrate reaction. As a consequence, the ‘free’ concentration of single-chain tPA in the system decreased in the presence of fibrin, affecting the reaction rate between PAI and single-chain tPA. The phenomenon might be of physiological relevance, in the sense that single-chain tPA bound to fibrin in the presence of plasminogen would be protected against inactivation by PAI.

The recent development in the use of functionalized ionic liquids as both reaction media and promoters is reviewed. Ionic liquids designed with special functionality can enhance the reaction rate, selectivity, and productivity in various chemical reactions. In this context, some important chemical reactions involving C–C, C–O, C–N, and C–S bond formation in functionalized ionic liquids are discussed. These functionalized ionic liquids were found to provide distinct advantages over conventional organic solvents in these catalytic reactions.

5-Phenyl-2,3,7,8,12,18-hexamethyl-13,17-diethylporphyrin (1), 5-phenyl-10,20-dinitro-2,3,7,8,12,18-hexamethyl -13,17-diethylporphyrin (2), 5- (p-nitrophenyl) -2,3,7,8,12,18-hexamethyl-13,17-diethylporphyrin (3) weresynthesized. The kinetics of formation and dissociation of their cobalt complexes in pyridine and acetic acid was studied. It was found that the change in reactivity upon transition from porphyrin 1 to 2 during complexation in acetic acid is due to an increase in the degree of deformation of the tetrapyrrole aromatic nucleus and the electronic effect of nitro groups. This is manifested by a strong bathochromic shift of all absorption bands in electronic spectra. It is shown that the opposite effect of the deformation effect and the i-effect of nitro groups on the rate of the reaction of formation of metal porphyrin leads to an insignificant change in the kinetic parameters. In pyridine, which has weakly basic properties, the reaction rate increases sharply with the introduction of nitro groups at position of 10, 20 of the porphyrin core. This is due to the fact that the deviation of the tetrapyrrole macrocycle from planarity leads to an increase in the reaction rate. It was found that a spherical distortion of the planar structure of porphyrins (1-3) in the series 1<3<2 relatively slightly influence on the rate of dissociation of their cobalt complexes. Apparently, this is due to the fact that coordination of the cobalt cation leads to a more flat structure of the tetrapyrrole macrocycle and the electronic effects of the nitro groups is the main contribution to the rate of the dissociation reaction of porphyrins (1-3).Forcitation:Kuvshinova E.M., Bykova M.A., Vershinina I.A., Gornukhina O.V., Lyubimova T.V., Semeikin A.S.

Synthetic polymers consume green light as fuel for intramolecular crosslinking, yielding non-equilibrium single chain nanoparticles that can be light-stabilised, kinetically and chemically trapped, or else unfold in the absence of light fuel.
