(+)-5-Thiosucrose 1, a novel isosteric sulfur analog of sucrose, was synthesized stereoselectively for the first time indirect β-d-fructofuranosidation involving selective β-d-psicofuranosidation, followed by stereo-inversion of the secondary hydroxy group at the C-3 position on the furanose ring. Glycosidation of protected 5-thio-d-glucose with a d-psicofuranosyl donor provided β-d-psicofuranosyl 5-thio-α-d-glucopyranoside and that with d-fructofuranosyl donor gave α-d-fructofuranosyl 5-thio-α-d-glucopyranoside. Two anomeric stereocenters of the glycosyl donor and acceptor were controlled correctly to provide a single disaccharide among four possible anomeric isomers in the glycosylation.

The neurochemical mechanisms underlying hindbrain glucoprivic suppression of the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge are not known. A body of experimental evidence supports the view that gonadal steroid positive-feedback action on the reproductive neuroendocrine axis relieves tonic GABAergic inhibition of gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons by diminishing preoptic release of this neurotransmitter. The present studies evaluated the hypothesis that hindbrain glucoprivic attenuation of the LH surge may be correlated with site-specific modifications in gonadal steroid suppression of gamma-aminobutyric acid release in this region of the brain.

Central glucostasis is a critical monitored variable in neuroendocrine regulation of pituitary LH secretion. Glucoprivic signals originating within the caudal hindbrain suppress LH. Septopreoptic mu opioid receptors (mu-R) function within neural pathways maintaining basal LH levels and mediate the effects of diverse physiological stimuli on hormone release.

The kinetics of the binding of cytochalasin B to the L-arabinose-H+ symport protein of Escherichia coli have been investigated, using a strain that over-produces the symport protein in the cytoplasmic membrane. Equilibrium binding studies revealed a single set of binding sites (2.9-8.

The effect of the glucose analogue 5-thio-D-glucose (5TG) on the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied. Derepression of mitochondrial respiratory chain cytochromes, alcohol dehydrogenase (isoenzyme II), NADH dehydrogenase and maltase was inhibited by 0.5-2 mM-5TG.
