The reduction of N-benzyl-2-cyano-2-(hydroxyimino)acetamide resulted in the formation of N-benzyl-1,2-ethanediamine and N-benzyl-N'-methyl-1,2-ethanediamine in approximately an equimolar ratio. The formation of the two unexpected products is explained by the migration of a cyano group in a Beckmann-type rearrangement.

A series of novel lipophilic polyamines was synthesized by the sodium cyanoborohydride-mediated reductive amination of various ketones and aldehydes with the polyamine tris(2-aminoethyl)amine. Two of these compounds, N,N-bis[2-(cyclododecylamino)ethyl]-N'-benzyl-1,2-ethanediamine trihydrochloride (36.3HCl) and N,N-bis[2-(cyclododecylmethylamino)ethyl]-N',N'-dimethyl-1,2-ethan ediamine (23), are 29 and 24 times more potent than colestipol hydrochloride, respectively, for lowering animal serum cholesterol levels.

Dicopper complexes of the following benzimidazole-containing ligands have been studied as possible models for the active site of hemocyanin: EDTB (N,N,N',N'-tetrakis-(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine), EGTB (1,1,10,10-tetrakis-(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)-1,10-diaza-4,7- dioxadecane), and MEGTB (1,1,10,10-tetrakis-(1-methylbenzimidazol-2-y lmethyl)-1,10-diaza-4,7-dioxadecane). The initial oxygenation product of Cu2(EDTB)(ClO4)2 in Me2SO gives optical absorption maxima at 315 nm (epsilon = 3750 M-1 cm-1) and 690 nm (epsilon = 100 M-1 cm-1). The fluorescence emission intensities of Cu2(EDTB)(ClO4)2 at 400 and 700 nm (excitation at 350 nm) decreases rapidly on exposure to air. This suggests oxidation of Cu2(I) to Cu2(II). The x-ray absorption edge spectra suggest that both coppers in the oxygenation product, analyzed as Cu2(EDTB)(ClO4)2(O).3H2O, are Cu(II). From spectrophotometric titration of Cu2(MEGTB)Cl4 with azide, formation constant of the Cu2(MEGTB)N3Cl3 complex has been obtained. Data from cyclic voltammetry experiments suggest that in the presence of azide, Cu(II)(N3)Cu(II) species is present.

The kinetics of Ca2+ binding to the high-affinity sites of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2(+)-ATPase were directly investigated by continuously monitoring the extravesicular calcium concentration via the metallochromic indicator Arsenazo III following the release of Ca2+ from a photolabile caged-calcium molecule, 1-(2-nitro-4,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-N,N,N',N'-tetrakis [(oxycarbony)methyl]-1,2-ethanediamine (DM-nitrophen), utilizing a pulsed Nd:YAG laser for photolysis. The nature of the binding kinetics is at least biphasic over the first 400 ms for vesicular dispersions of SR. The stoichiometry for calcium binding expressed as Ca:E1 approximately P has been calculated to be approximately 1.4:1 for the pure SR preparation under the reaction conditions employed.

Two different classes of cis-diaminedichloroplatinum(II) complexes linked to the DNA-intercalating chromophore 9-anilinoacridine have been synthesized and evaluated as DNA-targeted antitumor agents. Two different Pt chelating ligands were investigated (based on 1,2-ethanediamine and 1,3-propanediamine), designed to deliver the Pt in an orientation likely to respectively enhance either intrastrand or interstrand cross-linking. Although both sets of ligands were somewhat unstable under neutral or basic conditions with respect to disproportionation, the corresponding Pt complexes, once prepared, appeared to be quite stable. All the Pt complexes were monitored for purity by TLC, HPLC, and FAB mass spectra, and the mode of Pt coordination was established by 195Pt NMR spectroscopy. The complexes appeared to cause simultaneous platination and intercalative unwinding of plasmid DNA. In vitro studies were carried out with both wild-type and cisplatin-resistant P388 cell lines. Whereas cisplatin itself and the ethylenediamine and 1,3-propanediamine complexes used as standards were about 10-fold less active against the resistant line, the ethylenediamine-linked Pt complexes showed no differential toxicity between the two lines and the propanediamine-linked complexes showed significant differentials (up to 8-fold) in favor of the cisplatin-resistant line. However, these were no greater than those shown by the unplatinated ligands themselves. The majority of the acridine complexes were inactive in vivo against the wild-type P388 leukemia. They were very insoluble, and although a suitable formulation was found, this may have been a factor. It is also possible that these compounds bind in such a way as to direct the Pt away from the major groove.

A sensitive and simple fluorometric method for the determination of N,N'-bis(2-aminoethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine dihydrochloride (triethylenetetramine) in human plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography is described. Free triethylenetetramine (TETA) obtained by passing the TETA-copper chelate compound through a solid-phase cation exchange resin was converted to its fluorescamine derivative in the presence of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid to mask the interfering metal ions in the reaction solution, and the derivatives were separated on a nitrile high-performance liquid chromatograph column (Nucleosil 5-CN) using isocratic elution. The plasma levels of TETA were measured in eight patients receiving treatment for excess copper. Absorption rates of TETA were relatively slow and the peak levels were significantly different among patients. The bioavailability of TETA in the rat was also examined and the ratio of intestinal absorption was extremely low.

CI-922 (3,7-dimethoxy-4-phenyl-N-1H-tetrazol-5-yl-4H-furo[3,2-b]indole-2- carboxamide, 1,2-ethanediamine, 2:1), an antiallergy compound, was tested for its effects on arachidonic acid metabolism, and its potency was compared to that of proxicromil, BW-755C, indomethacin, and nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA). CI-922 was both a relatively potent and selective inhibitor of 5-HETE and LTB4 formation in human leukocytes, being equipotent to BW-755C and about four-fold more potent than proxicromil. However, CI-922 was rather weak in inhibiting the formation of PGE2 in bovine seminal vesicles. The parallel inhibition of 5-HETE and LTB4 formation by CI-922 suggests that either direct or indirect inhibition of the 5-lipoxygenase pathway may explain, at least in part, its antiallergy properties.

The alkaline earth cation complexes of DM-nitrophen [1-(2-nitro-4,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-N,N,N',N'-tetrakis-[(oxycarbonyl) methyl]- 1,2-ethanediamine)] release the bound cation in the millisecond time range upon irradiation by a short UV-light pulse. This technique allows to generate cation (eg. Ca2+) concentration jumps or pulses in solution or in cellular systems. The physico-chemical properties of DM-nitrophen and its Mg2+, Ca2+ and Ba2+ complexes are investigated by employing spectrophotometric and potentiometric techniques. In case of Ca2+ a stability constant of the complex up to nearly 10(11) M-1 is found. The magnitude of representative Mg2+ and Ca2+ concentration jumps which can be generated under realistic experimental conditions are calculated on the basis of the thermodynamic parameters reported here.

In order to test the theory that high mu-activity of opioid peptides could be elicited by the presence of an amino-terminal L-Tyr residue and a Phe aromatic ring held in the proper relative spatial disposition, a novel series of hybrid retro peptides were prepared in which L-Tyr was linked to N-acyl Phe through a variety of diamine spacers. These compounds were evaluated for opioid agonist and antagonist activity in the guinea pig ileum (GPI) in vitro assay. Analogues containing a 1,2-ethanediamine spacer, which conferred a Tyr-Phe separation distance closest to that found in Phe3 opioid peptides, were more potent agonists than the corresponding analogues containing a 1,3-propanediamine spacer. Agonist activity was observed for both L-Phe and D-Phe analogues, consistent with the known activity for both Phe stereochemistries for certain Phe3 opioid peptide analogues. Concerning the diamine spacer, conformational constraints imposed by 4-aminopiperidine and 4-(aminomethyl)piperidine as well as the presence of a hydroxyl group eliminated activity, but the presence of gem-dimethyl substitution next to the nitrogen attached to Tyr increased activity substantially for the D-Phe derivatives. Removal of the N-acetyl group from Phe did not eliminate activity. Naloxone Ke values determined for six of the most potent analogues are indicative of predominantly mu-agonism, but the D-Phe compounds 3a and 6a (1.4-2.1 nM) appear to be more mu-selective than the L-Phe compounds 2b, 3b, 5b, and 6b (3.3-4.4 nM), even though the latter are more potent agonists. Compounds 3a and 3b, which were found to be 10 and 21 times more potent, respectively, than morphine in the GPI, are two of the most structurally simple yet potent opioid peptide analogues described to date.

The properties of a recently synthesized photolabile chelator for divalent cations are described, the affinity of which for Ca2+ changes by some 5 orders of magnitude on illumination. The compound 1-(2-nitro-4,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-N,N,N',N'-tetrakis[(oxycarbonyl)me thyl]-1,2-ethanediamine (DM-nitrophen) binds Ca2+ (Kd approximately 5.0 x 10(-9) M) and Mg2+ (Kd approximately 2.5 x 10(-6) M) with relatively high affinities. On exposure of the DM-nitrophen-Ca2+ complex to UV light in the 350-nm range, the chelator is cleaved yielding iminodiacetic products with a much lower affinity for Ca (Kd approximately 3 x 10(-3) M) and the free [Ca2+] increases. The quantum yield for Ca2+ release is 0.18. In experiments with chemically skinned skeletal muscle fibers, a fully relaxed fiber equilibrated with DM-nitrophen-Ca2+ complex produced maximal contraction after a single flash from a frequency-doubled ruby laser (347 nm). Half-maximal tension was achieved in approximately 40 ms, some 5 times faster than that obtained after a rapid solution change from a Ca2+-free to a Ca2+-containing solution. In experiments with resealed human erythrocyte ghosts, irradiation of ghosts containing the DM-nitrophen-Ca2+ complex activates a Ca2+-dependent K+ efflux pathway, which is not observed in the absence of illumination. DM-nitrophen is sufficiently stable and photolabile to be used as a caged Ca (or caged Mg) for the rapid photoinitiation of divalent cation-dependent processes over a wide concentration range with a significant increase in temporal resolution over conventional mixing methods.
