A canine adenocarcinoma model (CAC-8) of humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy was evaluated for transforming growth factors (TGF)-alpha and -beta, PTH-like activity [adenylate cyclase-stimulating activity (ACSA)], and in vitro bone-resorbing activity. Biological activities present in CAC-8 were separated by reverse phase or cation exchange HPLC. TGF alpha in tumor extract was separated from TGF beta and ACSA by reverse phase HPLC. TGF alpha eluted between 26-30% acetonitrile and was identified by RIA. After the initial reverse phase separation, TGF beta and ACSA in tumor extract coeluted between 36-38% acetonitrile. Sequential cation exchange followed by reverse phase HPLC separated TGF beta from ACSA. Evaluation of fractions containing ACSA using an in vitro bone-resorbing assay demonstrated copurification of ACSA and bone-resorbing activity. The PTH receptor antagonist [Nle8,18,Tyr34]bovine PTH-(3-34)-amide, but not [Nle8,18,Tyr34]bovine PTH-(7-34)-amide, completely inhibited ACSA in column eluates. Conditioned cell culture medium from CAC-8 primary cultures contained predominantly latent TGF beta that could be activated by acidification. These findings indicate that the CAC-8 model of cancer-associated hypercalcemia produces a PTH-like factor, TGF alpha, and TGF beta that were separable by reverse phase or cation exchange HPLC. This feature should be useful to investigate the role of TGFs and PTH-like proteins in the pathogenesis of humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy.

A simple and rapid high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the simultaneous determination of enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin has been developed in pig and rabbit samples. Solid-phase extraction was applied from samples on a C18 cartridge using a mixture of methanol-hydrochloric acid (98:2, v/v). Analytical separation was performed on a C18 column with UV detection at 277 nm under gradient conditions. The mobile phase was a mixture of orthophosphoric acidtriethylamine-acetonitrile. The method has been validated for both molecules in pig and rabbit plasma and adapted for rabbit tissue-cage fluid (TCF). The assay is specific and reproducible within the both drugs and mean recoveries for ciprofloxacin and enrofloxacin, respectively, were 92+/-6% and 90+/-5% for pig plasma over the range used. Mean recoveries for enrofloxacin were 108+/-9% and 102+/-7% for rabbit plasma and TCF, respectively, over the range used. The suitability of the assay for pharmacokinetic studies was determined by measuring enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin concentrations either in pig plasma after administration of a single intravenous 5 mg/kg dose of enrofloxacin or in rabbit plasma and TCF during a 24 h infusion of enrofloxacin at a rate of 1.25 mg/kg per hour.

Photochemical reactions (lambda irr = 254 nm) of substituted benzyldiphenylphosphine oxides 1a-e have been investigated in benzene and acetonitrile. alpha-Cleavage from the singlet excited state is proposed as the primary process, and products formed both before and after escape of the primary intermediates from the solvent cage result. Radicals 2 and 3 are observed by nanosecond flash photolysis following excitation of 1a at 266 nm in acetonitrile. Acetone sensitization of 1a,b fails to improve the efficiency of product formation. The quantum yields of disappearance of 1a,b are unaffected by O2, and mechanisms for product formation from 1a in the presence of oxygen are proposed.

Photoinduced reactions of chloranil (CA) with 1,1-diarylethenes 1 [(p-X-Ph)(2)C=CH(2), X = F, Cl, H, Me] in benzene afforded products 4-14, respectively, with the bicyclo[4.2.0]oct-3-ene-2,5-diones 4, the 6-diarylethenylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-diones 5, and 2,3,5, 6-tetrachlorohydroquinone 13 as the major primary products. The cyclobutane products 4 are formed via a triplet diradical intermediate without involvement of single electron transfer (SET) between the two reactants, while 5 is derived from a reaction sequence with initial SET interaction between (3)CA and the alkene. The 9-arylphenanthrene-1,4-diones 6 and its 10-hydroxy-derivatives 7 are secondary photochemical products derived from 5. The isomeric cage products 9-11 are formed from 4 via intramolecular benzene-alkene [2 + 2] (ortho-)photocycloadditions induced by the triplet excited enedione moiety. The relative amount of the two groups of products (4 and its secondary products 9-11 via non-SET route vs 5 and its secondary products 6, 7, 8, 12, and 14 via SET route) shows a rather regular change, with the ratio of non-SET route products gradually increasing with the increase in oxidation potential of the alkenes and in the positive free energy change for electron transfer (DeltaG(ET)) between (3)CA and the alkene, at the expense of the ratio of the products from the SET route. The competition between the SET and non-SET routes was also found to be drastically influenced by solvent polarity, with the SET pathways more favored in polar solvent. Photo-CIDNP investigations suggest the intermediacy of exciplexes or contact ion radical pairs in these reactions in benzene, while in acetonitrile, SET process led to the formation of CA(*)(-) and cation radical of the alkene in the form of solvent separated ion radical pairs and free ions.

Photolysis of 1-fluoro-2-halo-1,2-diphenylethanes was studied in solutions of tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, and cyclohexane. The effect of free radical inhibitor and metal hydrides on products formation as well as their ratio was analyzed to elucidate the reaction pathway. In the first step homolytic C-X bond cleavage occurs from a single excited state, resulting in a biradical pair. Further reaction path depends on the type of the halogen bonded and on the solvent polarity. Electron transfer within the radical pair cage is apparently more rapid for bromides than for chlorides and is opposite as expected on the basis of the relative electronegativities of chlorine and bromine. As radicals approach each other, they fall into ionic or radical product channels. This is influenced by solvent polarity, resulting in the larger yield of ionic products in the case of acetonitrile as in the case of less polar cyclohexane.

A centered icosahedral 12-coordinate samarium cluster formed by six bis(L-prolinato)nickel(II) ([Ni(pro)2]) ligands, [Sm(Ni(pro)2)6]3+, was prepared. The reaction of Sm with [Ni(pro)2] in a small excess (a 2-fold excess) and also in a large excess (even a 10-fold excess) of the latter produced the cluster. Therefore, this system is a self-assembly. In the cluster, each nickel atom is surrounded by six atoms: two amino nitrogens, two carboxylate oxygens which form chelate rings with the nitrogen atoms, and two carboxylate oxygen atoms which link the neighboring nickel atoms. The samarium atom is coordinated by six [Ni(pro)2] ligands, and the metal is in an icosahedral environment formed by 12 oxygen atoms. The icosahedral geometry is almost ideal. Crystals of [Sm(Ni(pro)2)6](ClO4)3.6MeOH, which were prepared from a methanol solution, immediately decompose after filtration because of loosely trapped MeOH molecules in the crystal lattice. Therefore, crystals without MeOH molecules, which must be stable, were prepared by recrystallization from acetonitrile with tetramethylammonium perchlorate (TMAP). According to the X-ray crystal analysis, the cluster is TMA[Sm(Ni(pro)2)6](ClO4)4, cubic of space group F23, with a = 21.273(9) A, V = 9626(1) A3, and Z = 4; R = 0.053 (Rw = 0.049) for 1296 reflections. In addition, several crystals of cluster salts that have different counteranions, i.e., tetrafluoroborate (BF4-), hexafluorophosphate (PF6-), iodide (I-), and nitrate (NO3-), were prepared. The order of increasing ease of crystallization of the cluster salts was I- > PF6- approximately ClO4- > BF4- >> NO3-. The cluster structure is retained in alcohol and acetonitrile solutions; the UV-vis spectra of the solutions are perfectly consistent with the powder diffuse reflection spectrum. Cyclic voltammograms of [Sm(Ni(pro)2)6]3+ in acetonitrile proved that the structure of [Sm(Ni(pro)2)6]3+ is retained in the redox process and that the nickel atoms electrochemically interact with one another. Thermal analysis of the cluster salts with different counteranions was investigated. The results imply that the cluster is very stable until bis(L-prolinato)nickel(II) ligands, which form the cage structure, disintegrate and that the thermal decomposition processes of the cluster salts depend on their counteranions.

The direct UV irradiation of the 1-arylethyl phosphites 7, 8, and 9 was carried out in acetonitrile, benzene, and cyclohexane, as was the triphenylene-sensitized reaction of 9. Dimethyl 1-phenylethyl phosphite, 7, gives the photo-Arbuzov rearrangement product, dimethyl 1-phenylethylphosphonate (10), in 67% average yield and minor amounts (2%) of 2,3-diphenylbutane (11a) in quantum yields of 0.32 and 0.02, respectively. The photorearrangement of optically active, predominantly (R)-1-phenylethyl phosphite 7 (R/S = 97/3; 94% ee), at 35-40 degrees C proceeds with a high degree of stereospecificity at the stereogenic migratory carbon to give predominantly (R)-10 (R/S = 86/14, 72 +/- 2% ee). Use of the nitroxide radical trap TEMPO affords phosphonate 10, presumably all cage product, from predominantly (R)-7 (R/S = 97/3; 94% ee) in 64% yield (80% ee, R/S = 90/10). By contrast, the 1-(4-acetylphenyl)-ethyl phosphite, predominantly (S)-8 (S/R = 98/2, 96% ee), on direct irradiation gives the corresponding phosphonate (12) in only 20% yield along with dimer 11b in 40% accountability yield. Phosphonate 12 is nearly racemic (R/S = 52/48). Direct irradiation of predominantly (R)-9 (R/S = 98/2, 96% ee), a 1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl phosphite, results in a product distribution similar to that from predominantly (R)-7, but with a somewhat higher degree of retention of configuration in the product phosphonate 13 (R/S = 93/7, 86 +/- 3 ee). By contrast, the triplet triphenylene-sensitized photorearrangement of largely (R)-9 (R/S = 98/2, 96% ee) leads to product distributions similar to those from direct irradiation of predominantly (S)-8 and is accompanied by almost total loss of stereochemistry in its product phosphonate, 13 (R/S = 51/49). The partial loss of stereochemistry on direct irradiation of 7 and 9 provides evidence for radical pair formation. Furthermore, these stereochemical results are diagnostic of the multiplicity of the initial radical pair formed. Values for kcomb/krot for the proximate free radical pairs from 7 and 9, derived experimentally, are severalfold larger than those for the proximate singlet pair from Ph2C=C=N-CHPhMe, corrected to 35 degrees C. The possibility that kcomb is increased for the pairs from 7 and 9 is proposed.

Dimesitylketone O-oxide 1b was synthesized by photolysis of dimesityldiazomethane dissolved in an oxygen saturated CCl3F solution at 140 K. Conformation and geometry of 1b were determined by comparing measured NMR chemical shifts with the corresponding chemical shifts calculated at the DFT-IGLO level of theory where it had to be considered that the molecule exists in two enantiomeric forms. Measured and calculated 1H chemical shifts agree within 0.1 ppm while the calculated 13C shift of the COO carbon (210.6 ppm) differs by only 0.4 ppm from the measured shift of 211.0 ppm. The two mesityl rings are perpendicular to each other and enclose angles of 40 and 57 degrees with the COO plane. The preferred rearrangement process of 1b is an H migration from one of the ortho-methyl groups to the terminal O atom of the COO unit. The calculated activation enthalpy of this process is 12.7 kcal/mol (B3LYP/cc-pVTZ). In contrast, the activation enthalpy for isomerization to dioxirane is 5 kcal/mol higher. In CCl3F, the activation barrier for the thermal decay was determined to be 13.8 +/- 0.2 kcal/mol and in acetonitrile 13.1 +/- 0.4 kcal/mol. H migration initiates cleavage of the OO bond and the production of an OH and a benzyl radical. Recombination of the latter in the solvent cage leads to the formation of 2-methylhydroxy-pentamethylbenzophenone, while escape of the OH radical from the solvent cage yields a ketone. These results confirm the possibility of OH production from carbonyl oxides in the solution phase.

A single-crystal X-ray determination of the [Li(CH(3)CN)(2)(+)](6-CH(3)-nido-5,6,9-C(3)B(7)H(9)(-)) salt has shown that the 6-CH(3)-nido-5,6,9-C(3)B(7)H(9)(-) tricarbadecaboranyl anion has a nido-cage geometry based on an octadecahedron missing the unique six-coordinate vertex. The resulting six-membered open face is puckered, with two of the cage carbons (C6 and C9) occupying the low-coordinate cage positions above the plane of the four remaining atoms (C5, B7, B8, and B10). The Li(+) ion is centered over the open face and is solvated by two acetonitrile molecules. The reactions of the 6-CH(3)-nido-5,6,9-C(3)B(7)H(9)(-) anion with various vanadium halide salts, including VCl(4), VCl(3), and VBr(2), each resulted in the isolation of the same five paramagnetic products (2-6) of composition V(CH(3)-C(3)B(7)H(9))(2). X-ray crystallographic determinations of 2-5 showed that the complexes consist of two octadecahedral VC(3)B(7) fragments sharing a common vanadium vertex and established their structures as commo-V-(1-V-4'-CH(3)-2',3',4'-C(3)B(7)H(9))(1-V-2-CH(3)-2,3,4-C(3)B(7)H(9)) (2), commo-V-(1-V-5'-CH(3)-2',3',5'-C(3)B(7)H(9))(1-V-4-CH(3)-2,3,4-C(3)B(7)H(9)) (3), commo-V-(1-V-5'-CH(3)-2',3',5'-C(3)B(7)H(9))(1-V-2-CH(3)-2,3,4-C(3)B(7)H(9)) (4), and commo-V-(1-V-2-CH(3)-2,3,4-C(3)B(7)H(9))(2) (5). These complexes can be considered as tricarbadecaboranyl analogues of vanadocene, (eta(5)-C(5)H(5))(2)V. However, unlike vanadocene, these complexes are air- and moisture-stable and have only one unpaired electron. The five complexes differ with respect to one another in that they either (1) contain different enantiomeric forms of the CH(3)-C(3)B(7)H(9) cages, (2) have a different twist orientation of the two cages, or (3) have the methyl group of the CH(3)-C(3)B(7)H(9) cage located in either the 2 or 4 position of the cage. Subsequent attempts to oxidize the compounds with reagents such as Br(2) and Ag(+) were unsuccessful, illustrating the ability of the tricarbadecaboranyl anion to stabilize metals in low oxidation states. Consistent with this, both the electrochemical oxidation and the reduction of 2 were much more positive than those of the same oxidation state changes in vanadocene. The one-electron reduction of 2 is a remarkable 2.9 V positive of that of Cp(2)V.

Synthesis of the first fully characterized, water-soluble boronated phthalocyanine is reported. Reaction of 4-nitrophthalonitrile with dimethyl malonate in the presence of base yielded dimethyl (3,4-dicyanophenyl)malonate which was converted into dimethyl (3,4-dicyanophenyl)propargylmalonate by sequential treatment with potassium hydroxide and propargyl bromide. Formation of the o-carborane cage was accomplished by reaction of the alkyne with decaborane in acetonitrile at reflux. High-temperature solid state condensation of the resulting o-carboranylphthalonitrile with cobalt(II) chloride followed by ester deprotection and cation exchange provided the water-soluble closo-carbonylphthalocyanine product. The product contains 40 boron atoms (27% boron by weight) and may be useful as a tumor-seeking boron delivery agent for boron neutron capture therapy of cancer.
