AbstractSpin-labeling active compounds is a convenient way to prepare them for EPR spectroscopy with minimal alteration of the target molecule. In this study we present the labeling reaction of dexamethasone (Dx) with either TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy) or PCA (3-(carboxy)-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-pyrrolidinyloxy) with high yields. According to NMR data, both labels are attached at the primary hydroxy group of the steroid. In subsequent spin-stability measurements both compounds were applied onto HaCaT cells. When the signal of Dx-TEMPO decreased below the detection limit within 3 h, the signal of Dx-PCA remained stable for the same period of time.

New synthetic methods for spirolactams bearing an α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone or its analogous methylene-lactam have been developed. The allylation of γ-phenylthio-functionalized γ-lactams with 2-(acetoxy)methyl acrylamides was accomplished by using 2.5 equivalents of NaH to give the corresponding adducts in excellent yields. The remaining phenylthio group was substituted with a hydroxy group by treatment with CuBr, and the resulting γ-hydroxyamides were cyclized under acidic conditions to afford the corresponding methylene-lactam-fused spirolactams in high yields. On the other hand, methylene-lactone-fused spirolactams could be delivered from the allyl adducts in high yields through a sequential N-Boc protection/desulfinative lactonization.

New lupane-type triterpenoids with 5(6) double bond were prepared using the method of partial demethylation on carbon C-4. Hydroboration of the double bond led to 6α-hydroxy derivative. By the oxidation and following reduction of 6α-hydroxy derivative the 6-oxo and 6β-hydroxy derivatives were prepared. A new method for selective oxidation of secondary hydroxy group in the presence of primary hydroxy group was performed. The conformation of ring A of new lupane-type 3-oxo derivatives with a substituent on ring B was elucidated on the bases of 1H and 13C NMR spectra and molecular modelling.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a critical intra-and extra-cellular signaling molecule that mediates a broad variety of physiologic and pathophysiologic events, and has prompted rapid growth of investigations in investigating its physiology and generation mechanism of corresponding diseases. In this paper, a picomol assay of NO screening method using fluorescent derivatization combined with high-throughout microplate format has been developed and successfully applied to the determination of NO in biological samples. The satisfied detection limit and recovery of the proposed method demonstrates that it can be competent for the sensitive determination of NO in extremely small volume of biological sample.
