Chemistry of the pyrrolo[1,2-alpha]benzimidazole antitumor agents: influence of the 7-substituent on the ability to alkylate DNA and inhibit topoisomerase II

This study addresses the influence the 7-substituent on the cytotoxicity of pyrrolo[1,2-alpha]-benzimidazole quinones possessing a 6-aziridinyl group (PBIs) and a 6-acetamido group (APBIs). Reduction of a PBI to the aziridinyl hydroquinone results in both nucleophile trapping (alkylation) and 1,5-sigmatropic shift reactions. The latter process is essentially an internal redox reaction wherein the hydroquinone causes reductive opening of the aziridinyl ring. The 7-substituent controls the fate of the aziridinyl ring by means of steric and electronic effects. An electron-rich 7-substituent favors the 1,5-sigmatropic shift reaction. If the 7-substituent distorts the 6-aziridinyl group from the conformation required for the 1,5-sigmatropic shift, then nucleophile trapping occurs. The 7-methyl substituent results in significant nucleophilic trapping, and the 7-unsubstituted and 7-methoxy substituents favor the 1,5-sigmatropic reaction. Thus, the 7-methyl PBIs show the most cytotoxicity of the analogues studied. The APBIs are cytotoxic only as quinones, and reduction to the hydroquinone results in loss of activity. Consistent with this observation, the change from 7-methyl to the more electron-rich 7-methoxy results in a substantial loss of APBI cytotoxicity as well as decreased topoisomerase II inhibition. The mechanism of inhibition is thought to involve the interacalation of only electron deficient APBIs into DNA.     

Magnetization and rotation of MTG HTSC ring in magnetic field

The magnetization of a melt-texture growth (MTG) HTSC ring has been studied. It is shown that the magnetic field inside the ring is larger than the external field under a certain range of external magnetic fields. We have also investigated the magnetic field dependence of the response of a detective coil near a rotating superconducting ring. The responses of the MTG sample are different for different cooling methods.     

Variation of the creep limit and structure of a welded joint in PT-3V titanium alloy under the effect of cyclic loading. Report 2

Comparative analysis of the characteristics of amplitude-dependent internal friction (IF) was carried out to explain reasons leading to an increase of the creep limit of the butt welded joint in PT-3V titanium alloy (PT-2V filler material) after cyclic loading. IF was measured by the method of the direct torsional pendulum on cylindrical specimens representing the gage part of the specimens subjected to preliminary cyclic loading. The data were processed using the Granato-Lucke theory. The results show that the reduction of IF after cyclic loading took place as a result of an increase of the number and redistribution of pinning points of the dislocations. Consequently, the density of mobile dislocations decreases by 8% and the length of dislocation segments by 18%. These processes of stabilization of the structure were completed within 5·10 ⁴ cycles of preliminary loading. Stabilization of the dislocation structure of the material of the welded joint increases its creep limit.Translated from Problemy Prochnosti, No. 4, pp. 35–40, April, 1996.

COATES GRAPH APPROACH FOR GENERATING SYMBOLIC NETWORK FUNCTION

In this paper, symbolic code matrix ,constant matrix and count matrix are defined .The first twomatrices are used to describe the elemental expression of augmented matrix and the nede admittance equa-tion is thus obtained. The third matrix is used to obtain the incoming degree matrix, and according to thematrix all the 1- factors of the Coates graph are given. By using the data code, the determinant is expandedand the same items in the expansion are merged. Thus the symbolic network function in which no term can-cellation occurs is generated.
