Whole genome sequences of two Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates, 48-1789 and MAR24, revealed that they carry the KL106 and KL112 capsular polysaccharide (CPS) biosynthesis gene clusters, respectively, at the chromosomal K locus. The KL106 and KL112 gene clusters are related to the previously described KL11 and KL83 gene clusters, sharing genes for the synthesis of l-rhamnose (l-Rhap) and 6-deoxy-l-talose (l-6dTalp). CPS material isolated from 48-1789 and MAR24 was studied by sugar analysis and Smith degradation along with one- and two-dimensional 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The structures of K106 and K112 oligosaccharide repeats (K units) l-6dTalp-(1→3)-D-GlcpNAc tetrasaccharide fragment share the responsible genes in the respective gene clusters. The K106 and K83 CPSs also have the same linkage between K units. The KL112 cluster includes an additional glycosyltransferase gene, Gtr183, and the K112 unit includes α l-Rhap side chain that is not found in the K106 structure. K112 further differs in the linkage between K units formed by the Wzy polymerase, and a different wzy gene is found in KL112. However, though both KL106 and KL112 share the atr8 acetyltransferase gene with KL83, only K83 is acetylated.

To enhance the utility of the genetically diverse panel of Acinetobacter baumannii isolates reported recently by Galac and co-workers (AAC 64: e00840-20) and to identify the novel KL and OCL, all of the gene clusters that direct the biosynthesis of capsular polysaccharide and of the outer core of lipooligosaccharide, respectively, were re-examined. The nine KL and one OCL previously recorded as novel were identified and nine further novel KL and two OCL were found.

Substituted mono- and diamino-pyrimidines were synthesized as part of our medicinal chemistry programmes. Primary amines substituted at the 4-position exhibited room-temperature line broadening effects in both 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy due to the presence of rotamers, but these effects were not observed for substituents in the 2-position. This provided a simple diagnostic tool for the identification of regioisomers, a determination which would otherwise have required two-dimensional experiments.

The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of chromotropic acid (CTA) (4,5-dihydroxy-2,7-naphthalenedisulphonic acid) have been unambiguously assigned. Proton NOED spectra were used to show the proximity of both H-3 and H-6 and the hydroxyl groups. Two-dimensional 1H–13C NMR correlation spectra of CTA, of its corresponding diacetoxy derivative, and of 3-bromo- and 3,6-dibromo-CTA support the assignments. A regioselective deuterium exchange reaction of the C-3 and C-6 protons of CTA with deuterium oxide was observed during the NMR experiments. This latter finding is strongly indicative of the mode of formation, and of the nature of the chromogen formed in the reaction of CTA with formaldehyde in the well-known CTA-formaldehyde analytical reaction. Key words: chromotropic acid, 3-bromochromotropic acid, 3,6-dibromochromotropic acid.

AbstractThis paper synthesizes N-substituted phthalimides derived from nitrogen heterocycles as potential 5-HT4 ligands by using the Mitsunobu reaction. Conformational studies of some of the new compounds have been conducted using 1H and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Proton and carbon resonances were achieved through the application of one-dimensional selective NOE, two-dimensional NMR techniques-homonuclear COSY-45, NOESY and heteronuclear 1H-13C HMQC correlated spectroscopy- and double resonance experiments. The crystal structure of compound 1 was determined by X-ray diffraction.
