3 of berberine prolonged the transient hypotensive activity of berberine, whereas substitution by OH caused a slight hypertension. The dose of III or IV, which caused hypotension, was found to inhibit cardiac function in rats, whereas II had no effect on it. II, III, and IV decreased the beating rate in isolated perfused toad heart. Only II was found to have acetylcholine-potentiating action in frog muscle as well as guinea-pig small intestine in vitro. In the same preparations III and IV, contrariwise, inhibited acetylcholine action. In spinal rats, any response in blood pressure was not observed after the injection of each of the test compounds. From these results, possible mechanism of action of the test compounds is discussed.

Catalytic hydrogenation of sodium D-xylo-5-hexulosonate (sodium 5-keto-D-gluconate) and its acid has been investigated on nickel, ruthenium, rhodium and palladium with or without boron-modification. It was found that nickel and palladium catalysts produce more L-idonate than D-gluconate especially when the metals are prepared by treating their salts with sodium borohydride. Two adsorbed models for the substrate were presented to account for the observed hydrogenation selectivity, and the role of boron at the surface was discussed in terms of complexing with two hydroxyls of L-idonate.

Cannabinolic acid (CBNA), observed in the stored Cannabis, was synthesized from THCA by means of ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation, and artificial conditions to yield CBNA from THCA, comparing with Δ

As an example of peptide fragment condensation on the polymer support, synthesis of the tryptophan-containing decapeptide, ACTH-(5-14) was undertaken. First, suitable conditions to esterify Boc-Lys (Z)-Pro-Val-Gly-OH onto the copolymer of styrene and 2% divinylbenzene were examined. At room temperature, fairly good esterification of this tetrapeptide was achieved by the use of the bromomethylated copolymer and dicyclohexylamine. The peptide-resin was then treated with 1N HCl and triethylamine. To the resulting free tetrapeptide-resin, Z-Glu (OBzl)-His-Phe-Arg (NO
2)-Trp-Gly-OH was condensed by means of DCC and the growing peptide resin was treated with HF. The product, H-Glu-His-Phe-Arg-Trp-Gly-Lys-Pro-Val-Gly-OH was obtained simply by column chromatography on CM-cellulose.

3, which have methyl groups α or γ-positions to the N-oxide groups, gave the corresponding chloromethyl compounds (VI, VII, and XXIII). And the reaction of the bipyridazine N-oxides (II and V) with Ac

It is concluded that they exist as the conformer VI with trans-fused configuration, converting between the two antipodes (IX, IX') via synchronous inversion of both nitrogens. The activation parameters (Ea, log A, ΔFc

Ketone carbanion reacted as nucleophilic reagent with 4-chloropyrido [2, 3-d] pyrimidine (I). Reaction of I in the presence of sodium amide with acetophenone and acetone gave 2-(4-pyrido [2, 3-d] pyrimidinyl) acetophenone (III) and 1-(4-pyrido [2, 3-d] pyrimidinyl)-2-propanone (IV), respectively. The reaction with propiophenone, 3-pentanone and 2-butanone afforded 4-ethylpyrido [2, 3-d] pyrimidine (V). The reaction with 2-pentanone gave 1-(4-pyrido [2, 3-d] pyrimidinyl)-2-pentanone (VII) and 4-propylpyrido [2, 3-d] pyrimidine (VI). Quinazoline (XIII) has been shown to add several nucleophilic reagents across the 3, 4-position. These investigation have now been extended to pyrido [2, 3-d] pyrimidine (X). The reaction of X with methylmagnesium iodide, benzylmagnesium chloride and phenylmagnesium bromide afforded 4-methyl-(XIVa), 4-benzyl-(XIVb) and 4-phenyl-3, 4-dihydropyrido [2, 3-d] pyrimidine (XIVc), respectively. These compounds was derived to 4-methyl- (IX), 4-benzyl- (XVII) and 4-phenyl-pyrido [2, 3-d] pyrimidine (XVIII), respectively, by oxidation with potassium ferricyanide in alkali medium. The reaction with acetophenone in sodium methoxide solution afforded 2-(3, 4-dihydro-4-pyrido [2, 3-d] pyrimidinyl) acetophenone (XV). The reaction with hydrogen cyanide afforded 3, 4-dihydro-4-pyrido [2, 3-d] pyrimidinecarbonitrile (XVI) which was derived to 4-pyrido [2, 3-d] pyrimidinecarbonitrile (XIX). XIX was also derived to 4-methoxypyrido [2, 3-d] pyrimidine (XX) and 4 (3H)-pyrido-[2, 3-d] pyrimidinone, respectively from the reaction with methoxide and hydroxide ion. It may be concluded through the foregoing experimental results that the addition is occured across the 3, 4-position as similar as that of XIII already reported.

A modified solid phase method for peptide synthesis employing haloacyl polystyrene resins is described. For this purpose, several kinds of haloacylated copolystyrene-divinylbenzene were prepared, of which the bromoacetyl derivative was of choice. Protected amino acids could be attached to or released from this type of resin more smoothly than in the case of the benzyl type. Protected amino acids and their amide, hydrazide and ester derivatives were obtained by cleavage of the amino acid resins (III) by means of alkaline aqueous dioxane, sodium thiophenoxide in dimethylformamide, methanolic ammonia, hydrazine hydrate in methanol or methanol containing a catalyst under mild reaction conditions. This modification was successfully applied to syntheses of several small peptides. Although the overall yields were slightly lower than in the original solid phase method, the peptides and their C-terminal amide derivatives could be prepared easily with preservation of all the protecting groups on them. Therefore, this method may also be useful for the preparation of peptide fragments in larger polypeptide synthesis.
