A comparative kinetic study has been made of tetranitromethane nitration of tyrosine residues in deoxyribonucleoprotein preparation (DNP) treated with EDTA and/or UV light at lambda=253.7 nm, as well as obtained by enzymatic digestion of nucleosomes. UV-light-induced protein-DNA linkages stabilize the structure of the preparation, whereas the action of chelate agents causes DNP-200 angstrom leads to DNP-100 angstrom transfer. Comparison of kinetic data and the results of the amino acid analysis of individual fractions of nitrated histones allowed to conclude that the differences observed between the degree and the rate of nitration are due to internucleosomic interactions which form the supernucleosomic structure of DNP.

An efficient regioselective approach to novel functionalized bis(isoxazoles) with a variety of aromatic and aliphatic linkers was elaborated, based on the heterocyclization reaction of electrophilic alkenes under the treatment with tetranitromethane-triethylamine complex affording 3-EWG-5-nitroisoxazoles. The subsequent reactions of 5-nitroisoxazoles with various ,-, ,- and ,-bis(nucleophiles) provide a wide range of bis(isoxazole) derivatives in good isolated yields. Employing an elaborated method, a series of novel bis(3-EWG-isoxazoles) as the promising allosteric modulators of AMPA receptors were designed and synthesized.

The application of non-planar scaffolds in drug design allows for the enlargement of the chemical space, and for the construction of molecules that have more effective target-ligand interactions or are less prone to the development of resistance. Among the works of the last decade, a literature search revealed spirothiazamenthane, which has served as a lead in the development of derivatives active against resistant viral strains. In this work, we studied the novel molecular scaffold, which resembles spirothiazamenthane, but combines isoxazoline as a heterocycle and cyclooctane ring as a hydrophobic part of the structure.

A convenient synthetic approach to novel functionalized bis(isoxazoles), the promising bivalent ligands of the AMPA receptor, was elaborated. It was based on the heterocyclization reactions of readily available electrophilic alkenes with the tetranitromethane-triethylamine complex. The structural diversity of the synthesized compounds was demonstrated.

Catalyzed HO propagations (CHP) is characterized by the most robust reactivity of any of the in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) technologies because it generates the strong oxidant hydroxyl radical along with nucleophiles + reductants, such as superoxide radical. The most common groundwater contaminants, trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE), were used as model contaminants in evaluating the effect of hydrogen peroxide (HO) dosage on contaminant destruction kinetics. Both TCE and PCE degradation rates increased with HO dosages up to 0.

Amylase trypsin inhibitors (ATI) can be found in all gluten containing cereals and are, therefore, ingredient of basic foods like bread or pasta. In the gut ATI can mediate innate immunity via activation of the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) on immune cells residing in the lamina propria, promoting intestinal, as well as extra-intestinal, inflammation. Inflammatory conditions can induce formation of peroxynitrite (ONOO) and, thereby, endogenous protein nitration in the body.
