A new synthetic method of coumestan derivatives

Zusammenfassung Die Synthese von 7-Hydroxy-5,6-dimethoxybenzofurano[3,2:3,4]coumarin aus 7,2-Dihydroxy-oder 7-Benzyloxy-2-hydroxy-4,5-dimethoxyisoflavon wird beschrieben.     

Cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP in rats paw edema by prostaglandins

Summary Experimental results indicate that rat's paw oedema development by PGs is inhibited by 35 AMP and increased by 35 GMP. This research confirms the opposite effect to that of cyclic nucleotides. The respective behaviour of 35 AMP and 35GMP in their primary oedema-induced activity is discussed.We gratefully acknowledge the technical assistence of Mr.Sauro Pellegrini.     

The synthesis of toxicarol isoflavone

Zusammenfassung Die Synthese von Toxicarol Isoflavon (2, 2-Dimethylpyrano(6, 5: 7,8)-5-hydroxy-2,4 5-trimethoxyisoflavon) aus 2,2-dimethyl-5-hydroxy-7-methoxychroman wird beschrieben.     

Induction of ingestive responses by cAMP applied into the rat hypothalamus

Riassunto L'applicazione stereotassica di microdosi di dibutirril-adenosin-3 5 monofosfato nell'area ipotalamica laterale zona incerta di ratti sazi causa un netto aumento nell'ingestione di acqua. L'aumento è molto simile a quello causato dalla carbamoilcolina posta nella stessa zona.     

The synthesis of a natural dinucleoside phosphate derivative with the aid of a purine cyclonucleoside

Zusammenfassung Die Behandlung von 8-5-Anhydro-8-mercapto-2-o-mesylguanosin mit (1,2 Äquivalent) Tributylammonium-uridylat in siedendem DMF lieferte das Dinucleosidphosphat Uridyl-(3-5)-8-mercapto-2-o-mesylguanosin. Weitere Behandlung mit Raney Ni führte zum Uridyl-(3-5)-2-o-mesylguanosin.     

Effect of spike disease on the 5′-and 3′-nucleotidase activities in sandal plants

Summary In the sandal plant affected by spike disease, caused by mycoplasma-like organisms, the changes occurring in the 5-and 3-nucleotidase activities were studied and their possible significance discussed.     

Über das Vorkommen verschieden substituierter Chalkone während der Mikrosporogenese beiTulipa

Summary During the development of anthers inTulipa cv. Apeldoorn the following chalcones were isolated: 2, 3, 4, 4, 6-pentahydroxychalcone as the main component and 2, 4, 4, 6-tetrahydroxy-3-methoxychalcone as well as 2, 4, 4, 6-tetrahydroxychalcone in a very small amount.

Detection of pyrimidine 5′-nucleotidase deficiency using1H-or31P-nuclear magnetic resonance

Summary We describe here a further Japanese family with pyrimidine 5-nucleotidase (P5N) deficiency diagnosed using a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum, in Kumamoto prefecture where two families having the disease have been reported before. The specific spectra in¹H-NMR of P5N deficient erythrocytes were due to three methyl protons of CDP-choline at 3.22 ppm and to H-2, H-8 and ribose-1 of pyrimidine nucleotide phosphate(s) in the lower fields (at 5.82 and 8.00 ppm). The other specificities in³¹P-NMR spectra were due to CDP-choline, CDP-ethanolamine and UDP-glucose. Those spectra were not detected in other types of hemolytic anemia.     

The syntheses of axillarin and its related compounds

Zusammenfassung Axillarin (5, 7, 3, 4-Tetrahydroxy-3,6-dimethoxyflavon). 5,3,4-Trihydroxy-3,6,7-trimethoxyflavon und 5,7,3,4-Tetrahydroxy-3,8-dimethoxyflavon wurden synthetisiert.

Bemerkungen zur Struktur des Capsorubins

Summary By oxidative degradation of capsorubin, it could be demonstrated that the methyl groups are in position 1, 1, 5 (1, 1, 5) and the OH-group is attached to carbon atom 3 (3). An analogous structure may be assumed for capsanthin and cryptocapsin.     

Enhancement of anaphylaxis of isolated smooth muscle by adenosine phosphates and inhibition of anaphylactic mechanisms by adenosine-3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate

The effect of cyclic N-2-O-dibutyryl-adenosine-3′, 5′-monophosphate on neuromuscular transmission and concentration of glycogen in the isolated phrenic nerve-diaphragm preparation of the rat

Résumé Le dérivé dibutyrique du 3, 5-AMP cyclique potentialise les contractions du diaphragme provoquées par stimulation électrique indirecte, alors que l'application du 3,5-AMP cyclique n'a pas un tel effet. D'autre part, ce dérivé diminue le taux de glycogène du diaphragme, ce qui n'est pas le cas pour le 3,5-AMP cyclique.
