SummaryThe radioactive adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) level derived from 8-14C adenine in intact rabbit platelets decreased in the presence of mitochondrial inhibitor (potassium cyanide) or uncoupler (sodium azide), and markedly increased by the addition of NaF, monoiodoacetic acid (MIA), or 2-deoxy-D-glucose. The stimulative effect of the glycolytic inhibitors was distinctly enhanced by the simultaneous addition of sodium succinate. MIA did neither directly stimulate the adenyl cyclase activity nor inhibit the phosphodiesterase activity. These results suggest that cyclic AMP synthesis in platelets is closely linked to mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.

Cyclic and acyclic bis-phosphonium salts with a two-carbon bridge are smoothly cleaved to phosphines in high yield by potassium cyanide in dimethyl sulphoxide. Evidence is presented that the reaction proceeds by an elimination-addition sequence. An elimination reaction also occurs when sodium methoxide, sodium azide, sodium acetate, and triethylamine react with ethane-1,2-bis(tri-phenylphosphonium) dibromide. ��� In a novel reaction, triphenylphosphine is converted into its oxide by a mixture of sodium azide and dimethyl sulphoxide.
