All the chemicals used in the synthesis were of analytical grade purity and were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (India). Rivastigmine was obtained as a gift sample from Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd (Silvassa, India). Melting point of the synthesized analogues was determined by using Stuart melting point apparatus and were uncorrected. Equimolar (0.01mol) quantity of NaCNO in 25ml of warm water was added with continuous stirring, the reaction mixture was allowed to stand for 4 h and the product was obtained by filtration, washed with water, dried in an oven below melting point and recrystallized from ethanol to afford key intermediate-1 .The precipitate was obtained by filtration, washed with water, dried in an oven below melting point and recrystallized from ethanol to afford key intermediate-2 .Equal moles of intermediate-2 (0.456g, 0.003mol) in 5ml of ethanol mixed with equal moles of the different aldehyde or ketone was refluxed for 2hrs and glacial acetic acid was added to adjust the pH of the reaction between 5-6. The solid obtained after cooling was filtred, dried and crystallized from 95% ethanol to afford compounds .Ellman’s spectrophotometric analysis [16] was used to determine IC50 values. This method is based on the reaction between synthetic substrate acetylthiocholine iodide (ATChI) and 5,5-dithio-bis-(2-nitrobenzoicacid) (DTNB) to produce a yellow colour (5-mercapto-2-nitrobenzoicacid) which was detected by Colorimeter. Determination of IC50 values was performed by recording the rate of increase in the absorbance at 412 nm for 5 min.
Stock solution of AChE was obtained by dissolving AChE in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 8). The final solution for assay consisted of 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 8.0) with the addition of 340 mM 5, 5-dithio-bis (2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB), 0.02 unit/mL of AChE and 550 mM of substrate (acetylthiocholine iodide, ATChI). Different concentrations of test compounds (inhibitors) between 20% and 80%) were selected in order to obtain inhibition of the enzymatic activity. From the inhibitors (synthesized analogues) solution (50 µL), increasing concentrations of the inhibitors were added to the assay solution and were pre-incubated for 20 min at 37 oC with the enzyme followed by
After 10 minutes the reaction liquid was separated from the solid using a vacuum filtration system and toluene. The product was stored and dried until week 2 of the experiment. The product was weighed to be 0.31 g. Percent yield was calculated to be 38.75%. IR spectra data was conducted for the two starting materials and of the product. Melting point determination was performed on the product and proton NMR spectrum was given. The IR spectrum revealed peaks at 1720 cm-1, which indicated the presence of a lactone group, and 1730 cm-1, representing a functional group of a carboxylic acid (C=O), and 3300cm-1, indicating the presence of an alcohol group (O-H). All three peaks correspond with the desired product. A second TLC using the same mobile and stationary phase as the first was performed and revealed Rf Values of 0.17 and 0.43for the product. The first value was unique to the product indicating that the Diels-Alder reaction was successful. The other Rf value of 0.43 matched that of maleic anhydride indicating some
Furthermore, the principles and metrics of green chemistry were incorporated into the synthesis reaction through the use of the benign solvent, water. Through the use of the vacuum filtration and the recrystallization procedures, the product was further purified. Subsequently, the purity and identity of the product were evaluated through the analysis tool of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. Ultimately, the efficiency and greenness of the reaction were measured through the calculation of the percent yield and the atom
It was found that BChE showed broader substrate specificity when compared to AChE, hydrolysing all substrates (at least to some extent), excluding Carbachol. AChE failed to hydrolyse suxamethonium or carbachol to any extent. It was also found that Atropine and Malathion failed to significantly inhibit either cholinesterase, whereas Edrophonium displayed short-acting inhibition. Physostigmine, Nestogmine and Carbachol displayed greater inhibition.
(E)-3-benzylidenepiperidin-2-one (7a) A solution of (1E,2E)-2-benzylidenecyclopentanone O-tosyl oxime (6a, 0.500 g, 0.00146 mole) and SOCl2 (0.521 mL) in dry dioxane (30 mL) was stirred with the aid of a magnetic stirrer at room temperature for 10h. Thereafter, water was added to the reaction mixture and it was extracted with diethyl ether (3×20 mL). The combined extracts were washed with water, NaHCO3, and water and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. Rotaevaporation of the solvent furnished a solid which upon crystallization from benzene furnished (E)-3-benzylidenepiperidin-2-one (7a) as light brown crystals, yield 45%, mp 126–128°C
The kinetic profile of tube 1 is represented by a horizontal line in graph 1. Tube 2 contained 0.01ml of enzyme and graph 2 represents the kinetic profile of tube 2. It shows that the absorbance of tube 2 increased over time at an exponential rate. The amount of enzyme added to tube 3 was 0.1ml. The absorbance of this tube increased at a steady rate over time. Graph 3 represents tube 3 and its enzyme kinetic profile is indicated by the positive linear line. About 0.5ml of enzyme was added to tube 4 and graph 4 represents its kinetic profile. The absorbance increased over time, but at the end it began to plateau. Comparing the kinetic profiles of 4 tubes, the appropriate enzyme concentration needed for the assay was determined to be
The light yellow precipitate was collected by suction filtration using a Hirsch funnel. The product was washed with two 1-mL portions of cold methanol followed by two 1-mL portions of diethyl ether. The product was dried in the oven at 110°C. The IR spectrum as a KBr pellet was obtained for the product and inosine for analysis.
The synthesis required that the starting materials contain an aniline and aldehyde in order to produce an imine, which is a primary amine. Using p-chlorobenzaldehyde and p-bromoaniline along with the addition of dichloromethane and, in some cases, a water trapping reagent, the group was able to synthesize 4-bromo-N-[4-(chlorophenyl)methylene]-benzenamine. Three different reactions using the same reactants but different water trapping agents were employed in order to determine which trapping agent, either molecular sieves or sodium sulfate, would remove the most water and leave the purest product. Upon completion of TLC, melting point analysis, as well as IR spectrum, and 1H NMR analysis, it was determined that the reaction using the molecular sieves produced the purest substance. Furthermore, it was hypothesized that the molecular sieves would produce the greatest percent yield of pure product since it is the only water trapping agent that can also separate out non-water
In this experiment, NaOH was the inhibitor used to stop the enzymatic reactions. NaOH is very basic and when added to a solution, will cause a drastic increase in pH, causing denaturation of the enzyme. The amount of product formed could be calculated by placing the test tube in a spectrometer after the addition on NaOH. A spectrometer measures the absorbance of a solution, which helps compare how much of a substance is in a solution.
After exposing to organophosphorus compounds, prevention of serine aging and release of phosphate group is a vital step for survival. Hydroxylamine (NH2OH) is a potent nucleophilic compound which is able to cleave phosphate esters, therefore it helps hydrolyzing phosphorylated Ach Esterase enzyme. That leads to develop hydroxylamine derivatives such as; oxime and followed by pralidoxim as a antidote for phosphorylated acetylchilone esterase enzyme. Pralidoxim chloride is the only known antidote.
BglA was remain active even in the existence of 600 mM glucose. However, BglA activity was gradually repressed with the increase of glucose concentration, and Ki value for glucose was found to be 1200 mM as shown in figure 4b. Organic solvents have proven an obvious constrain for the BglA activity, enzyme was completely inactive by adding 40% (v/v) methanol, ethanol, n-butanol and isopropanol whereas, 40% (v/v) acetone, ethyl acetate and acetonitrile strongly repressed BglA activity up to 18%, 38%, 50%, respectively.
Similarly, plants and bacteria have ACH, though ACH is broken down by different enzymes. This means that though ACHE is present in plants and bacteria, it likely serves a different function than in humans (Chatonnet, 2010). In mammals, it is believed that two primary evolutionary events have occurred. The first being the duplication of ACHE into the related enzyme butyrylcholinesterase, or BCHE. BCHE has many similar functions to ACHE, with its actions being centered around hydrolyzing choline based esters. It is important to note that BCHE is produced in the liver, and circulates in the blood, while ACHE primarily is found in the brain and muscle tissue (Chatonnet, 2010). Further, humans without BCHE appear to have no ill physiological effects from a lack of the enzyme. The second evolutionary event is the splicing of ACHE into the above mentioned 3 subtypes of tailed, read through, and hydrophobic (Chatonnet, 2010). The read through variation of ACHE has only been found in mice, and the hydrophobic kind is found in blood
