1. Nocardia globerula CL1, isolated by enrichment on cyclohexanol and grown with it as carbon source, oxidized it with a Q(o2) of 39mul/h per mg dry wt. and the overall consumption of 2.2mumol of oxygen/mol of substrate. Cyclohexanone, 2-hydroxycyclohexan-1-one dimer and cyclohexane-1,2-dione were oxidized with Q(o2) values similar to that for cyclohexanol whereas in-caprolactone and 6-hydroxycaproate were oxidized very slowly and adipate not all. 2. Disrupted cell suspensions could not be shown to catalyse the conversion of cyclohexanol into cyclohexanone. 3. A cyclohexanol-induced cyclohexanone oxygenase (specific activity 0.55mumol of NADPH oxidized/min per mg of protein) catalysed the consumption of 1mol of NADPH and 1mol of O(2) in the presence of 1mol of cyclohexanone. NADPH oxidation did not occur under anaerobic conditions. The only detected reaction product with 25000g supernatant was 6-hydroxycaproate. 4. Extracts of cyclohexanol-grown cells contained a lactone hydrolase (specific activity 15.6mumol hydrolysed/min per mg of protein), which converted in-caprolactone into 6-hydroxycaproate. 5. Incubation of 6-hydroxycaproate with 25000g supernatant in the presence of NAD(+) resulted in NAD(+) reduction under anaerobic conditions, oxygen consumption under aerobic conditions and the conversion of 6-hydroxycaproate into adipate. 6. Cyclohexanone oxygenase fractions devoid of in-caprolactone hydrolase catalysed the stoicheiometric formation of in-caprolactone from cyclohexanone in the presence of excess of NADPH. 7. The reaction sequence for the oxidation of cyclohexanone by N. globerula CL1 is: cyclohexanol --> cyclohexanone --> in-caprolactone --> 6-hydroxycaproate --> adipate. 8. It is suggested that the adipate may be further dissimilated by beta-oxidation.
Tiger salamanders (Ambystoma tigrinum) were trained to respond to two dissimilar odorants (i.e., cyclohexanone, dimethyl disulfide) but not to a third odorant (n-butanol). When the training criterion was met, the animals were anesthetized and given nasal lavages of saline or odorants in saline. Lavage with cyclohexanone decreased responding to cyclohexanone but not dimethyl disulfide, and vice-versa, in later behavioral tests. Likewise, ethyl acetoacetate lavage produced selective response decrements to cyclohexanone. Lavage with n-butanol had no effect on responding to presentations of either cyclohexanone or dimethyl disulfide. The effects of lavage increased with increasing odorant concentration. Thus, lavage with 0.05 M cyclohexanone or ethyl acetoacetate produced more persistent response decrements than lavage with 0.01 M concentrations of either odorant. Such results are consistent with several testable interpretations, including the possibility the response decrements could reflect the nature of odorant-receptor interactions.
The enhanced neural response in the olfactory bulbs of rat pups following early olfactory experience is specific to the familiar odor. Pups were exposed daily to either peppermint or cyclohexanone odor for the first 18 postnatal days. On day 19, peppermint-familiar pups exposed to peppermint had significantly higher [14C]2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) uptake in a focal glomerular area compared with the response to peppermint by cyclohexanone-familiar pups. We also found that cyclohexanone-experienced pups had a subsequent enhanced response to cyclohexanone odor in glomerular areas medial and caudal to those responding to peppermint. None of the 2-DG uptake differences were attributable to respiration differences between the groups during any part of the odor test.
A new class of spiro pyrrolidines, dispiro[oxindole-cyclohexanone]pyrrolidines, dispiro[oxindole-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-one]pyrrolidines, dispiro[oxindole-arylidene-cyclohexanone]pyrrolidines, dispiro[oxindole-hexahydro-indazole]pyrrolidines, and spiro[butenolide]pyrrolidines, have been screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activity against ten human pathogenic bacteria and four dermatophytic fungi. They were found to have antimicrobial and antifungal activity compounds against various pathogens except Bacillus subtilis. The spiro pyrrolidinines were synthesized by the regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of azomethine ylides generated either from isatin and sarcosine or from aziridine. The azomethine ylide so generated reacted with various dipolarophiles such as 2-arylidene-cyclohexanones, 2-arylidene-tetrahydronapthalen-1-ones, 2,6-bis(arylmethylidene)cyclohexanones and 3-arylidene-5-phenyl- butenolides.
1. Acinetobacter TD63 was one of some thirty organisms isolated by elective culture with trans-cyclohexan-1,2-diol as sole source of carbon. The great majority of these isolates displayed the same growth spectrum as Nocardia globerula CL1 and Acinetobacter NCIB 9871 being capable of utilizing trans-cyclohexan-1,2-diol, 2-hydroxycyclohexan-1-one, cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone,1-oxa-2oxocycloheptane and adipate and were assumed to use well described metabolic pathways. 2. Acinetobacter TD63 was distinctive in being incapable of growth with cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone or 1-oxa-2-oxocycloheptane and because of this it was hoped that it would display an alternative pathway for the oxidation of trans-cyclohexan-1,2-diol. 3. Studies with cell extracts have shown the presence of inducible dehydrogenase for the conversion of trans-cyclohexan-1,2-diol to 2-hydroxycyclohexan-1-one and cyclohexan-1,2-dione and of 6-oxohexanoate to adipate. These enzymes are linked into a metabolic sequence by the action of a monooxygenase of broad specificity but efficiently capable of converting 2-hydroxy-cyclohexan-1-one into the lactone 1-oxa-2-oxo-7-hydroxycycloheptane that spontaneously rearranges to yield 6-oxohexanoate. 4. An enzyme capable of attacking cyclohexan-1,2-dione (mono-enol) in the absence of an electron donor or oxygen has also been detected. Evidence has been presented indicating that this enzyme catalyses a keto-enol tautomerization between cyclohexan-1,2-dione (mono-enol) and cyclohexan-1,2-dione (mono-hydrate) and is not involved in the pathway of ring cleavage. 5. The failure of Acinetobacter TD63 to grow with cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone or 1-oxa-2-oxocycloheptane is due not to this organism possessing a distinctive metabolic sequence but to a narrow inducer specificity coupled with an inability to form a lactone hydrolase enabling it to cleave the stable 1-oxa-2-oxocycloheptane which is an intermediate in the established pathway of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone oxidation.
Catalytic activity of activated carbon supported tungstosilicic acid in synthesizing 2-methyl-2-ethoxycarbonylmethyl- 1,3-dioxolane, 2,4-dimethyl-2-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-1,3-dioxolane, cyclohexanone ethylene ketal, cyclohexanone 1,2-propa- nediol ketal, butanone ethylene ketal, butanone 1,2-propanediol ketal, 2-phenyl-1,3-dioxolane, 4-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-dioxolane, 2-propyl-1,3-dioxolane, 4-methyl-2-propyl-1,3-dioxolane was reported. It has been demonstrated that activated carbon supported tungstosilicic acid is an excellent catalyst. Various factors involved in these reactions were investigated. The optimum conditions found were: molar ratio of aldehyde/ketone to glycol is 1/1.5, mass ratio of the catalyst used to the reactants is 1.0%, and reaction time is 1.0 h. Under these conditions, the yield of 2-methyl-2-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-1,3-dioxolane is 61.5%, of 2,4-dimethyl- 2-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-1,3-dioxolane is 69.1%, of cyclohexanone ethylene ketal is 74.6%, of cyclohexanone 1,2-propanediol ketal is 80.1%, of butanone ethylene ketal is 69.5%, of butanone 1,2-propanediol ketal is 78.5%, of 2-phenyl-1,3-dioxolane is 56.7%, of 4-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-dioxolane is 86.2%, of 2-propyl-1,3-dioxolane is 87.5%, of 4-methyl-2-propyl-1,3-dioxolane is 87.9%.
A high performance liquid chromatographic procedure is described for the determination of cyclohexanone leached in intravenous solutions from the poly(vinyl chloride) bags. After derivatization with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine and extraction with pentane, the cyclohexanone derivative was analysed on a C18 BDS Hypersil column using mobile phase mixture of acetonitrile:water (55:45). Ultra-violet detection was performed at 368 nm. The limit of quantification was 30 ng/mL and the assay was linear from 0.05 to 50 micrograms/mL. The recovery was better than 95%. The proposed method is satisfactory in its accuracy and precision with particularly relative standard deviations (RSD) for intra-assay and inter-assay of below 10%. This method has been successfully used for the determination of cyclohexanone in aqueous solutions such as sodium chloride (0.9%) and glucose (5%) stored in PVC containers. The values obtained varied between 2.04 and 44.9 micrograms/mL according to solutions and volume.
Three strains of denitrifying bacteria were anaerobically enriched and isolated from oxic or anoxic habitats with cyclohexanol or cyclohexanone as sole electron donor and carbon source and with nitrate as electron acceptor. The bacteria were facultatively anaerobic, Gram-negative and metabolism was strictly oxidative with molecular oxygen, nitrate, or nitrite as terminal electron acceptor. Cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone were degraded both anaerobically and aerobically. Aromatic compounds were oxidized in the presence of molecular oxygen only. One of the bacterial strains was further characterized. During anaerobic cyclohexanol degradation approximately 40% of the substrate was oxidized to phenol, which accumulated as dead-endproduct in the growth medium; 60% of cyclohexanol was completely oxidized to CO2 and assimilated, respectively. In addition to phenol formation, transient accumulation of cyclohexanone, 2-cyclohexenone and 1,3-cyclohexanedione was observed. Based on these findings we propose a pathway for anaerobic cyclohexanol degradation involving these intermediates.
Trigeminal receptors can respond to a wide variety of chemical stimuli, but it is unknown whether these receptors mediate discrimination between chemical stimuli matched for equal perceptual intensity. The present electrophysiological and behavioral experiments address this issue using tiger salamanders, Ambystoma tigrinum, and four compounds (amyl acetate, cyclohexanone, butanol, and d-limonene). In addition, the relative sensitivities of the trigeminal and olfactory systems to these compounds are compared. In electrophysiological cross-adaptation experiments (amyl acetate vs cyclohexanone; butanol vs d-limonene), there was complete cross adaptation such that only concentrations above the background (cross-adapting) stimulus concentration elicited responses, suggesting that chemical stimuli may stimulate trigeminal receptors nonspecifically. In behavioral experiments (amyl acetate vs cyclohexanone; butanol vs d-limonene), only animals with intact olfactory nerves could discriminate between perceptually equivalent concentrations, that is concentrations that elicited the same level of responding. Both electrophysiologically and behaviorally, the trigeminal system exhibited higher thresholds than the olfactory system. We conclude that trigeminal chemoreceptors, at least in salamanders, are unable to discriminate between these two pairs of compounds when matched for equal perceptual intensity, and that trigeminal chemoreceptors are less sensitive than olfactory receptors.
Two membrane electrochemical reactors (MER) were designed and applied to HLADH-catalysed reduction of cyclohexanone to cyclohexanol. The regeneration of the cofactor NADH was ensured electrochemically, using either methyl viologen or a rhodium complex as electrochemical mediator. A semi-permeable membrane (dialysis or ultra-filtration) was integrated in the filter-press electrochemical reactor to confine the enzyme(s) as close as possible to the electrode surface. When methyl viologen was used, the transformation ratio of cyclohexanone varied from 0 to 65% depending on the internal arrangement of the reactor. Matching the reactor configuration to the reaction system was essential in this case. With the rhodium complex, the ultra-filtration MER was tested in continuous and recycling configurations. The best conditions led to 100% transformation of 0.1 L volume of 0.1 M cyclohexanone after 70 h with the recycling mode. Finally, the performances of the reactors are discussed with respect to different evaluations of the production yields.
Economical methods of supplying NADPH must be developed before biotransformations involving this cofactor can be considered for large-scale applications. We have studied the enzymatic Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone as a model for this class of reactions and developed a simple approach that uses whole, non-growing Escherichia coli cells to provide high productivity (0.79 g epsilon-caprolactone/L/h = 18 micromol epsilon-caprolactone/min/g dcw) and an 88% yield. Glucose supplied the reducing equivalents for this process, and no exogenous cofactor was required. The volumetric productivity of non-growing cells was an order of magnitude greater than that achieved with growing cells of the same strain. Cells of an engineered E. coli strain that overexpresses Acinetobacter sp. cyclohexanone monooxygenase were grown under inducing conditions in rich medium until the entry to stationary phase; the subsequent cyclohexanone oxidation was carried out in minimal salts medium lacking a nitrogen source. After the biotransformation was complete, the lactone product was adsorbed to a solid support and recovered by washing with an organic solvent.
The peripheral chemoreceptors of the trigeminal system in the nasal cavity are presumed to be free nerve endings arising from Adelta and C fibers. These fibers appear to be scattered throughout the nasal epithelium, and arise from the nasopalatine and ethmoid branches of the trigeminal nerve. In the present study, the effects of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) blockers on ethmoid nerve responses to nicotine and cyclohexanone were examined. Multiunit neural recordings were obtained from the ethmoid nerve of Sprague-Dawley rats. Vapor-phase nicotine (12.5 p.p.m.) and cyclohexanone (450 p.p. m.) were delivered to the rats' nares via an air-dilution olfactometer. The magnitude of the response to nicotine decreased after the administration of the nAChR blockers dihydro-beta-erythroidine hydrobromide (DHBE) and mecamylamine hydrochloride. DHBE is a competitive nicotinic receptor antagonist specific for the alpha4beta2 receptor subtype and mecamylamine is known to bind alpha3beta4 and alpha4beta2 receptors. The nAChR blockers had no effect on ethmoid nerve responses to cyclohexanone. These results suggest that the mechanism by which at least one irritant stimulates nasal trigeminal nerve endings involves the binding of irritant with a specific receptor.
Acinetobacter NCIB 9871 was isolated by elective culture on cyclohexanol and grows with this compound as sole source of carbon. It displays a restricted growth spectrum, being unable to grow on a wide range of alternative alicyclic alcohols and ketones. Cyclohexanol-grown cells oxidize the growth substrate at a rate of 230 mul of O2/h per mg dry wt with the consumption of 5.65 mumol of O2/mumol substrate. Cyclohexanone is oxidized at a similar rate with the consumption of 4.85 mumol of O2/mumol. 1-Oxa-2-oxocycloheptane and 6-hydroxyhexanoate are both oxidized at the same slow rate of 44 mul of O2/h per mg dry wt and adipate is not oxidized. Studies with cell extracts reveal the presence of inducible dehydrogenases for cyclohexanol, 6-hydroxyhexanoate and 6-oxohexanoate and a monooxygenase, that in conjunction with a lactonase converts cyclohexanone to 6-hydroxyhexanoate. The monooxygenase is therefore presumed to be of the lactone-forming type and the pathway for conversion of cyclohexanol to adipate; cyclohexanol leads to cyclohexanone leads to 1-oxa-2-oxocycloheptane leads to 6-hydroxyhexanoate leads to 6-oxohexanoate leads to adipate; for which key intermediates have been identified chromatographically, is identical with the route for the oxidation of cyclohexanol by Nocardia globerula CL1.
