Keratan Sulphate

High-field 1H-n.m.r.-spectroscopic studies supported by chemical carbohydrate analyses show that skeletal keratan sulphates (KS-II) of bovine origin may be sub-classified into two groups. Keratan sulphate chains from articular and intervertebral-disc cartilage (KS-II-A) contain two structural features, namely alpha(1----3)-fucose and alpha(2----6)-linked N-acetyl-neuraminic acid residues, that are absent from keratan sulphates from tracheal or nasal-septum cartilage (KS-II-B).

Different Types

Keratan sulphate was isolated from bovine intervertebral disc and bovine nasal septum after hydrolysis with proteinases and treatment with dilute alkali. Each preparation was found to contain, per keratan sulphate chain: (a) 1 residue of mannose; (b) 3 residues of N-acetylneuraminic acid (2 residues after alkali treatment); (c) 1 residue of N-acetylgalactosamine (lost after alkali treatment); (d) 1 residue or less of fucose. N-Acetyl-neuraminic acid residues were at non-reducing termini and were bonded to keratan sulphate through galactose residues. Evidence is presented for two different types of linkage between skeletal keratan sulphate and protein. Consideration of molecular parameters and compositions leads to a proposed structure for keratan sulphate–protein as found in skeletal proteoglycans.

The methanol extract of the powdered leaf of Eurya acuminata was investigated for isolation of secondary metabolites and two compounds were obtained by using VLC, column chromatography and TLC. The compounds were identified as phytol (1) and ?-sitosterol by extensive spectroscopic studies, including high field NMR analyses as well as co-TLC with authentic samples. The methanol extract of leaf of E. acuminata and its organic and aqueous soluble partitioning materials were evaluated for cytotoxic, thrombolytic and antimicrobial properties. In the cytotoxicity study the aqueous fraction of crude methanolic extract showed significant lethality towards brine shrimp having LC50 value 8.821 ?g/ml as compared to standard vincristine sulfate (0.404 ?g/ml). In the study for thrombolytic property, different extract of E. acuminata exhibited various thrombolytic activity ranging from 13.66 to 31.89 % as compared to standard streptokinase (46.51 %). No antimicrobial activity was observed from leaf extracts.Dhaka Univ. J. Pharm. Sci. 15(2): 151-154, 2016 (December)

Polymer Tacticity

Abstract High resolution NMR spectroscopy is proving to be a useful experimental technique for determining the microstructures of high polymers. Its major utility, aside from identifying structural features often not detectable by other methods, lies in quantitative applications. Some examples are the determination of monomer ratios in copolymers, polymer tacticity, sequence isomerism of monomer units, and other types of structural isomerism. The applicability of the method is being enhanced by continuing development of high-field spectrometers, special accessories, and new experimental techniques, and by application of computers to the analysis of spectral data.

Sequential Digestion

Keratan sulphate was isolated from adult intervertebral disc in 90% yield by sequential digestion of the whole tissue with papain, Pronase and Proteus vulgaris chondroitin sulphate lyase. Treatment of this preparation with alkali cleaved a glycosidic bond between N-acetylgalactosamine and threonine and produced, by an alkali-catalysed ‘peeling’ reaction, an unsaturated derivative of N-acetylgalactosamine which reacted as a chromogen in the Morgan–Elson reaction, but remained covalently bonded to the keratan sulphate chain. This derivative was reduced and labelled by alkaline NaB3H4. The substituent at position 3 of N-acetylgalactosamine in the keratan sulphate–protein linkage was identified as a disaccharide, N-acetylneuraminylgalactose, which was isolated from the reaction mixture after alkali treatment.

AbstractThe electrochemistry of polyaniline depends upon the pH of the deposition solution and the nature of the anion present during deposition. When the pH of the deposition solution is below 1.0, the response is typical of the para-substituted phenyleneamine structure. When the pH of the deposition solution is greater than 1.0, an additional voltammetric wave appears, and the response is a function of the dopant anion. This report presents results of an in situ infrared spectroscopic study aimed at elucidating structural features which determine the anion dependent voltammetric response.
