- Use of novel haptens in the production of antibodies for the detection of tryptamines
-
Tryptamines are a group of hallucinogenic drugs whose detection in body fluids could be simplified by immunochemical assay kits. Antibodies for these assays are obtained by the immunization of laboratory animals with conjugates of a hapten similar to the target analyte and a suitable protein. Therefore we synthesized novel haptens derived from tryptamine-based drugs, with N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT) and N,N-diisopropyltryptamine (DiPT) selected as the target analytes. Their structures were modified with a short linker ended with a carboxylic group. The haptens were conjugated with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and rabbits were immunized with the conjugates. The obtained polyclonal antibodies showed good reactivity and the LOD of the constructed ELISAs was in the range 0.006-0.254 ng mL-1. Thus, they are suitable for the development of immunochemical assay kits.

- Purification and characterization of 4-N-trimethylamino-1-butanol dehydrogenase of Pseudomonas sp. 13CM
-
A new enzyme, NAD+-dependent 4-N-trimethylamino-1-butanol dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas sp. 13CM, was purified 526-fold to apparent homogeneity in 5 chromatographic steps. The enzyme had a molecular mass of 45kDa and appeared to be a monomer enzyme. The isoeletric point was found to be 4.8. The optimum temperature was 50°C, and the optimum pHs for the oxidation and reduction reactions were 9.5 and 6.0 respectively. The purified enzyme was further characterized with respect to substrate specificity, kinetic parameters, and amino acid terminal sequence. The Km values for trimethylamino-1-butanol and NAD+ were 0.54 mM and 0.22 mM respectively. In the reduction reaction, the apparent Km values for trimethylaminobutylaldehyde and NADH were 0.67 mM and 0.04 mM, respectively. The enzyme was inhibited by SH reagents, chelating reagents, and heavy metal ions. The N-terminal 12 amino acid residues were sequenced.

- AN IMPROVED PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF 4-(N, N-DISUBSTITUTEDAMINO) BUTYRALDEHYDE ACETALS
-
The invention disclosed in this application relates to an improved process for the preparation of compounds of formula (I): R1R2NCH2CH2CH2CH(OR3)2; wherein, R1 = R2 = C1-C16 alkyl; C3-C7 cycloalkyl; R1 = C1-C16 alkyl; R2 = C3-C7 cycloalkyl; NR1R2 = pyrrolidino, piperidino, morpholino, thiomorpholino, R1 = C1-C6 alkyl; R2 = ArCH2; Ar =4-R4-C6H4-, R4 = MeO, EtO, Me, Et, NMe2, NEt2, SMe, SEt, etc; R3=C1-C6 alkyl; C3-C7 cycloalkyl which comprises: (i) Reacting 3-(N, N-disubstitutedamino)propyl halide of formula (XXI): R1R2NCH2CH2CH2X; wherein, R1, R2 = as defined above, X = C1 or Br, with magnesium in the presence of a solvent to get the Grrgnard reagent 3-(N, N-disubstitutedamino)-propylmagnesium halide; (ii) Reacting the resulting 3-(N, N-disubstitutedamino) propylmagnesium halide (Grignard reagent) with the trisubstituted orthoformate of formula (XVII): HC(OR5)(OR3)2; wherein, R3 and R5 is same or different and represent C1 to C6 alkyl, C3 to C7 cycloalkyl OR R3 is as defined above and R5 represents phenyl radical; (iii) Filtering off the resultant reaction mixture and distilling the filtrate to isolate the compound of the formula (I). These substituted butyraldehyde derivatives of the formula (I) are very important building blocks for the synthesis of various tryptamine derivatives. In particular 4-(N, N-dimethylamino)butyraldehyde dimethyl or diethyl acetals are crucial intermediates for the synthesis of commercially available anti-migraine drugs, like sumatriptan, zolmitriptan, and rizatriptan.
