Renal metabolism of hyperpolarized [1-13C]aspartate

Aspartic acid is involved in several central metabolic pathways, including gluconeogenesis, the urea cycle, de novo nucleotide synthesis, the malate-aspartate shuttle, and via transmination the TCA cycle. The conversion in vivo of hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyr ...

Switchable [3+2] and [4+2] Heteroannulation of Primary Propargylamines with Isonitriles to Imidazoles and 1,6-Dihydropyrimidines: Catalyst Loading Enabled Reaction Divergence

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Shuo Tong

Isonitrile 1 due to its carbene-like reactivity serves generally as a one-carbon synthon in a diverse set of organic transformations. We report in this article that the isocyano group can also act as a polarized triple bond to undergo, as a two-atom syntho ...

Construction of a low temperature STM and studies of large molecular systems

Daniel Pablo Rosenblatt

Several aspects in the field of molecular self assembly are addressed in this thesis. Thanks to the scanning tunnelling microscope (STM), structural, electronic and magnetic properties on surfaces can be studied down to the size of a single atom. In this t ...

Synthesis of (Carbo) nucleoside Analogues by [3+2] Annulation of Aminocyclopropanes

Jérôme Waser, Florian Patrick Marie Daniel De la Barre De Nanteuil, Sophie Lucie Racine, Eloísa Sofía Serrano Robledo

(Carbo) nucleoside derivatives constitute an important class of pharmaceuticals, yet there are only few convergent methods to access new analogues. Here, we report the first synthesis of thymine-, uracil-, and 5-fluorouracil-substituted diester donor-accep ...

Computational, Structural, and Kinetic Evidence That Vibrio vulnificus FrsA Is Not a Cofactor-Independent Pyruvate Decarboxylase

Ursula Röthlisberger, Elizabeth Claire Brunk

The fermentation-respiration switch (FrsA) protein in Vibrio vulnificus was recently reported to catalyze the cofactor-independent decarboxylation of pyruvate. We now report quantum mechanical/molecular mechenical calculations that examine the energetics o ...

Enantioselective Total Syntheses of Leuconolam–Leuconoxine–Mersicarpine Group Monoterpene Indole Alkaloids

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Zhengren Xu

A unified strategy allowing enantioselective total syntheses of (−)-mersicarpine, (−)-scholarisine G, (+)-melodinine E, (−)-leuconoxine, and (−)-leuconolam from a common cyclohexenone derivative was reported. The Suzuki−Miyaura reaction was used to couple ...

Azidation of beta-Keto Esters and Silyl Enol Ethers with a Benziodoxole Reagent

Jérôme Waser, Maria Victoria Vita

The efficient azidation of beta-keto esters and silyl enol ethers using a benziodoxole-derived azide transfer reagent is reported. The azidation of cyclic beta-keto esters could be achieved in up to quantitative yields in the absence of any catalyst. In th ...

Automated transfer and injection of hyperpolarized molecules with polarization measurement prior to in vivo NMR

Mor-Miri Mishkovsky, Tian Cheng, Arnaud Comment, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen

Hyperpolarized magnetic resonance via dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization necessitates the transfer of the hyperpolarized molecules from the polarizer to the imager prior to in vivo measurements. This process leads to unavoidable losses in nuclear pol ...

Mathematical Modeling of Brain Energy Metabolism, Measured with PET and MRS in Rodents

Bernard Lanz

Positron emission tomography (PET) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) are two biomedical measurement techniques developed in the end of the XXth century, which drastically improved the amount of accessible information available in vivo. PET ...

Spectroscopic Probes of Conformational Isomerization of Biological Molecules in a Cold Ion Trap

Caroline Seaiby

The function of biologically active molecules depends both on their structure and on their conformational dynamics. In solution, intramolecular interaction with the solvent will influence different biological processes, i.e. protein folding. However second ...
