Synthesis Of Phenyl Carbamoylated Guanidine Functionalized Chitosan, Eduardo Hernandez Requejo
Synthesis Of Phenyl Carbamoylated Guanidine Functionalized Chitosan, Eduardo Hernandez Requejo
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The lack of solubility of the chitosan in organic solvents hinders its potential for chemical modifications. For this reason, it was hypothesized that the insertion of the phenyl carbamoylated guanidine moiety could lead to increased solubility in DMSO and new potential modifications and uses.
This research involved the synthesis of S-methyl phenyl carbamoylated guanidine (SMPCG) starting from the commercially available S-methyl isothiourea. This was followed by the reaction of the SMPCG with chitosan to yield phenyl carbamoylated guanidine functionalized chitosan (PCGCs) with a degree of substitution of 14%.
The chitosan derivative is fully soluble in DMSO and partially in DMF. …
Purine Nucleosides Modified At C8 Or C2 Position With (Β-Halo)Vinylsulfone And Β-Ketosulfone Reactive Groups And Their Incorporation Into Dna: Synthesis Of The Organoarsenical Antibiotic Arsinothricin And Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons, Md Abu Hasan Howlader
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Modified nucleosides gained great attention as potential anticancer and antiviral therapeutics. In this dissertation, synthesis and reactivity of (β-iodovinyl)sulfone and β-ketosulfone groups incorporated into purine nucleosides at C8 or C2 positions and DNA incorporation of their 5' triphosphates have been developed. Moreover, synthesis of novel antibiotic arsinothricin (AST) as well as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been discussed. The 8-(1-iodo-2-tosylvinyl)-2'-deoxyadenosine and 8-(1-Iodo-2-tosylvinyl)adenosine were synthesized employing iodovinylsulfonation of 8-ethynyl precursors with TsNa/I2/NaOAc. The 8-(β-iodovinyl)sulfonyl-2'-deoxyguanosine was prepared via radical mediated iodovinylsulfonation of 8-ethynyl-2'-deoxyguanosine with TsNHNH2/KI/(BzO)2. Conformationally different C2 substituted isomeric adenosine analogues were prepared by iodovinylsulfonation …
Folding Of Bovine Pancreatic Trypsin Inhibitor (Bpti) Is Faster Using Aromatic Thiols And Their Corresponding Disulfides, Ram Prasad Marahatta
Folding Of Bovine Pancreatic Trypsin Inhibitor (Bpti) Is Faster Using Aromatic Thiols And Their Corresponding Disulfides, Ram Prasad Marahatta
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Improvement in the in vitro oxidative folding of disulfide-containing proteins, such as extracellular and pharmaceutically important proteins, is required. Traditional folding methods using small molecule aliphatic thiol and disulfide, such as glutathione (GSH) and glutathione disulfide (GSSG) are slow and low yielding. Small molecule aromatic thiols and disulfides show great potentiality because aromatic thiols have low pKa values, close to the thiol pKa of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), higher nucleophilicity and good leaving group ability. Our studies showed that thiols with a positively charged group, quaternary ammonium salts (QAS), are better than thiols with negatively charged groups such as phosphonic …
Strain Promoted Click Chemistry Of 8-Azidopurine And 5-Azidopyrimidine Nucleosides And Nucleotides With Cyclooctynes And Applications To Living Cell Imaging, Jessica Zayas
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The strain promoted azide alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) of azido nucleobase modified nucleosides and nucleotides with cyclooctynes to give fluorescent triazoles has been relatively unexplored. Thus, SPAAC between azido-nucleobases and various cyclooctynes in aqueous solution at ambient temperature resulted in the efficient formation (3 min - 2 h) of triazole products with inherent fluorescent properties. The 2- and 8-azidoadenine nucleosides reacted with fused cyclopropyl cyclooctyne, dibenzylcyclooctyne or monofluorocyclooctyne to produce click products functionalized with hydroxyl, amino, N-hydroxysuccinimide, or biotin moieties. The previously unexplored 5-azidouridine and labile 5-azido-2'-deoxyuridine were similarly converted to the analogous triazole products in quantitative yields in less …

Developing Of Germyldesulonylation And Thiodesulfonylation Reactions For The Synthesis Of Novel Nucleoside Analogues. Efficient Synthesis Of Novel (Α-Fluoro)Vinyl Sulfides, Pablo R. Sacasa Jr
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (AdoHcy) hydrolase effects hydrolytic cleavage of AdoHcy to produce both adenosine and L-homocysteine and is a feedback inhibitor of S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM). Nucleoside analogues bearing an alkenyl or fluoroalkenyl chain between sulfur and C5′ utilizing Negishi coupling reactions were synthesized. Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling between the 5′-deoxy-5′-(iodomethylene) nucleosides and alkylzinc bromides gives analogues with the alkenyl unit. Palladium-catalyzed selective monoalkylation of 5′-(bromofluoromethylene)-5′-deoxy-adenosine with alkylzinc bromide afford adenosylhomocysteine analogues with a 6′-(fluoro)vinyl motif. The vinylic adenine nucleosides produced time-dependent inactivation of the S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolases. Stannydesulfonylation reaction is a critical step in the synthesis of E-fluorovinyl cytidine (Tezacitabine) a ribonucleoside reductase inhibitor with a …
