Salt Derivatives (salt + derivative)
Selected Abstracts1,1,-Fc(4-C6H4CO2Et)2 and its unusual salt derivative with Z, = 5, catena -[Na+]2[1,1,-Fc(4-C6H4CO2,)2]·0.6H2O [1,1,-Fc = (,5 -(C5H4)2Fe]ACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION B, Issue 2 2010John F. Gallagher The neutral diethyl 4,4,-(ferrocene-1,1,-diyl)dibenzoate, Fe[,5 -(C5H4)(4-C6H4CO2Et)]2 (I), yields (II) (following base hydrolysis) as the unusual complex salt poly[disodium bis[diethyl 4,4,-(ferrocene-1,1,-diyl)dibenzoate] 0.6-hydrate] or [Na+]2[Fe{,5 -(C5H4)-4-C6H4CO}2]·0.6H2O with Z, = 5. Compound (I) crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group , with two molecules having similar geometry in the asymmetric unit (Z, = 2). The salt complex (II) crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pbca, with the asymmetric unit comprising poly[decasodium pentakis[diethyl 4,4,-(ferrocene-1,1,-diyl)dibenzoate] trihydrate] or [Na+]10[Fe{,5 -(C5H4)-4-C6H4CO}2]5·3H2O. The five independent 1,1,-Fc[(4-C6H4CO2),]2 dianions stack in an offset ladder (stepped) arrangement with the ten benzoates mutually oriented cisoid towards and bonded to a central layer comprising the ten Na+ ions and three water molecules [1,1,-Fc = ,5 -(C5H4)2Fe]. The five dianions differ in the cisoid orientations of their pendant benzoate groups, with four having their ,C6H4, groups mutually oriented at interplanar angles from 0.6,(3) to 3.2,(3)° (as ,..., stacked C6 rings) and interacting principally with Na+ ions. The fifth dianion is distorted and opens up to an unprecedented ,C6H4, interplanar angle of 18.6,(3)° through bending of the two 4-C6H4CO2 groups and with several ionic interactions involving the three water molecules (arranged as one-dimensional zigzag chains in the lattice). Overall packing comprises two-dimensional layers of Na+ cations coordinated mainly by the carboxylate O atoms, and one-dimensional water chains. The non-polar Fc(C6H4)2 groups are arranged perpendicular to the layers and mutually interlock through a series of efficient C,H..., stacking contacts in a herringbone fashion to produce an overall segregation of polar and non-polar entities.

The crystallization and heavy-atom structure solution of an active truncated CYP46A1 in complex with the high-affinity substrate analogue cholesterol-3-sulfate (CH-3S) is reported. The 2.6,Ĺ structure of CYP46A1,CH-3S was solved using both anion and cation heavy-atom salts. In addition to the native anomalous signal from the haem iron, an NaI anion halide salt derivative and a complementary CsCl alkali-metal cation salt derivative were used. The general implications of the use of halide and alkali-metal quick soaks are discussed. The importance of using isoionic strength buffers, the titration of heavy-atom salts into different ionic species and the role of concentration are considered. It was observed that cation/anion-binding sites will occasionally overlap, which could negatively impact upon mixed RbBr soaks used for multiple anomalous scatterer MAD (MMAD). The use of complementary cation and anion heavy-atom salt derivatives is a convenient and powerful tool for MIR(AS) structure solution. [source] Metabolic GHB precursor succinate binds to ,-hydroxybutyrate receptors: Characterization of human basal ganglia areas nucleus accumbens and globus pallidusJOURNAL OF NEUROSCIENCE RESEARCH, Issue 1 2006Tünde Molnár Abstract Binding of the metabolic ,-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) precursor succinate to NCS-382-sensitive [3H]GHB-labeled sites in crude synaptosomal or purified synaptic membrane fractions prepared from the human nucleus accumbens (NA), globus pallidus (GP) and rat forebrain has been shown. This site can be characterized by binding of ethyl hemisuccinate and gap-junction blockers, including carbenoxolone hemisuccinate and ,-GRA. There was no significant binding interaction between GABAB receptor ligands (CGP 55845, (R)-baclofen) and these [3H]GHB-labeled sites. GHB, NCS-382 and succinate binding profile of [3H]GHB-labeled sites in rat forebrain, human NA or GP synaptic membranes were similar. The synaptic fraction isolated from the rat forebrain was characterized by GHB binding inhibition constants: Ki,NCS-382 = 1.2 ± 0.2 ,M, Ki,GHB = 1.6 ± 0.3 ,M and Ki,SUCCINATE = 212 ± 66 ,M. In crude membranes containing mainly extrasynaptic membranes, distinct GHB and GABAB receptor sites were found in the NA. By contrast, extrasynaptic GABAB receptor sites of rat forebrain and GP were GHB- and succinate-sensitive, respectively. The heterogeneity of GABAB sites found in native membranes indicates GABAB receptor-dependent differences in GHB action. Based on these findings, we suggest that succinate (and possibly drugs available as succinate salt derivatives) can mimic some of the actions of GHB. © 2006 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
