Interaction of lactate dehydrogenase with structurally related triazine dyes using affinity partitioning and affinity chromatography.

Affinity partitioning in aqueous two-phase systems consisting of dextran and dye-liganded polyethylene glycol was employed to study the interaction of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) from rabbit muscle (E.C. 1.1.1.27) with Procion Red HE-3B and four structurally related derivatives of this dye in order to follow the significance of the terminal rings of Procion Red HE-3B for the strength of interaction. The study revealed that the arrangement of the two 1-amino-8-naphthol-3,6-disulphonic acid rings seems to be a prerequisite for the interaction of azonaphthol dyes with LDH. The negatively charged sulfonic acid group at the terminal rings of Procion Red HE-3B enhances the affinity of the ligand for LDH significantly. The removal of this sulphonic acid group or splitting off the complete terminal rings decreases the affinity to LDH and improves the competitive effect of NAD+. The results of affinity partitioning are compared with those of affinity chromatography and kinetic data. The usefulness and the choice of parameters of affinity partitioning as an analytical tool to predict the chromatographic behaviour of dye ligands are discussed.

Triazine dye binding of human alpha-fetoprotein and albumin.

Column chromatography was used to investigate the interaction of human alpha-fetoprotein and albumin with different immobilized dyes. Binding of alpha-fetoprotein to the dye conjugates was studied at pH 7.0. Between 56 and 93% of the total alpha-fetoprotein applied to the column was recovered in the break-through fractions of the respective runs. Of all the dyes, Cibacron Blue F3G-A adsorbs alpha-fetoprotein most strongly. This interaction clearly depends on the degree of dye substitution of the gel. A relatively weak interaction exists between alpha-fetoprotein and immobilized Procion Red HE-3B. This is used in the purification of alpha-fetoprotein by negative chromatography resulting in a 16.6-fold enrichment of this protein. Human albumin binds tightly to immobilized Cibacron Blue F3G-A as well as to Cibacron Brilliant Blue FBR-P and shows a lower affinity to Procion Blue MX-R. Procion Red dyes, which are structurally different from Cibacron Blue F3G-A are also capable of interacting with serum albumin. The results obtained are discussed in terms of the present theoretical conceptions about dye-protein interactions.

S-triazine residues in groundwater.

In the last years, the occurrence of pesticides and other chemicals in groundwater has been confirmed. The herbicide atrazine is among the pesticides most frequently detected in groundwater. In groundwater samples from the United States atrazine concentrations reached levels up to 10 micrograms/1. In our lysimeter experiments with radioactive labelled terbuthylazine we measured 2.87-4.20% of the applied radioactivity after 1160 days in the leachate.

Pyrazolo-[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) receptor ligands.

The syntheses and rat CRF receptor binding affinities of 'retro-pyrazolotriazine' corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) ligands 4 are reported. Some have high affinity for rat CRF receptors (K(i)< or =10 nM). The data provide additional support for the hypothesis that it is possible to interchange isosteric cores with similar electronic properties in the design of high-affinity CRF receptor ligands, provided the peripheral pharmacophore elements are maintained in the same three-dimensional array.

Design, synthesis and biological activities of antiangiogenic hypoxic cytotoxin, triazine-N-oxide derivatives.

For cancer therapy, hypoxia represents an important tumor specific target. Therefore we designed and synthesized antiangiogenic hypoxic cytotoxins as 'hypoxia modifiers'. They can be activated bioreductively in hypoxic cells to kill the oxygen-deficient tumor cells selectively and prevent their re-growth. The aromatic heterocycle di-N-oxides, tirapazamine (TPZ), TX-1102, and TX-402 inhibited growth of EMT6/KU cells, SAS/neo cells, and SAS/Trp248 cells (mutant p53 gene transformant) under hypoxic condition. They also induced apoptosis selectively at a dose of 10 microM each under hypoxic condition for 5 h. Their hypoxic cytotoxicities and apoptosis inducing activities were p53-independent because the activities in SAS/neo cells were almost similar to that in SAS/Trp248 cells. In angiogenesis inhibition assay using chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), TPZ, TX-1102, TX-402 and TX-1033 showed 40, 25, 60 and 60% inhibition of angiogenesis each at a dose of 10 microg/CAM. On the other hand, the nitrosopyrimidine, TX-1041 had neither antiangiogenic activity nor cytotoxicity. Therefore the di-N-oxide group is thought to be required for the biological activities. TX-1102 was a potent antiangiogenic hypoxic cytotoxin inducing apoptosis p53-independently.

Microwave-assisted parallel synthesis of a 4,6-diamino-2,2-dimethyl-1,2-dihydro-1-phenyl-s-triazine library.

Microwave-assisted parallel synthesis of a library of 20 phenyl dihydrotriazines was successfully achieved and compared to an identical library generated by conventional parallel synthesis. Microwave synthesis dramatically decreased reaction times from an average of 22 h to 35 min, and compounds generated using microwave irradiation were purer. Isolated yields of all the compounds were comparable when the two methods were used.
