  • The regulation of pyrimidine nucleotide synthesis has been proved to be controlled by a regulatory protein PyrR-mediated attenuation in the Gram-positive bacteria. After several bacterial genome sequencing projects, we have discovered the PyrR orthologues in the databases for Haemophilus influenzae and Synechocystis and sp. PCC6803 genome sequences. To investigate whether these PyrR orthologue proteins regulate pyrimidine nucleotide synthesis as well as the cases of Bacillus, the PyrR regions of each strains were amplified by PCR and cloned with pUC19 or T-vector in Escherichia coli and with a shuttle vector pHPS9 for E. coli and B. subtilis. For the regulation test of the PyrR orthologues, the aspartate-transcarbamylase (ATCase) assay was carried out. From the results of the ATCase assay, it was confirmed that Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 could not restore by pyrimidines to a B. subtilis, PyrR but H. influenzae PyrR could. For Purification of PyrR orthologue proteins, PyrR orthologue genes were cloned into the expression vector (pET14b). Over-expressed product of PyrR orthologue genes was purified and analyzed by the SDS-PACE. The purified PyrR orthologue proteins from H. influenzae and Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 turned out to be molecular mass of 18 kDa and 21 kDa, respectively. The result of uracil phosphoribosyl transferase (UPRTase) assay with purified PyrR orthologue proteins showed that H. influenzae PyrR protein only has UPRTase activity. In addition, we could predict several regulatory mechanisms that PyrR orthologue proteins regulate pyrimidine de novo synthesis in bacteria, through phylogenetic analysis for PyrR orthologue protein sequences.

  • Although the first pyridazine was obtained in 1886, this heterocycle was not thoroughly investigated such isomers as pyrimidine and pyrazine especially in the field of drug development because pyridazine derivatives do not occur as natural products. Recently medicinal chemists have an growing interest in the pyridazine derivatives, since many Pyridazine derivatives were found to possess various potential therapeutic activities. In this paper sixty-eight pyridazine derivatives, which are already introduced as medicines or are being developed as drugs were classified according to their pharmacological activities, reviewed since 1955 and the relationship of structure-activities was discussed.

  • A novel carboacyclic nucleoside analogue, 9-[2-bromo-4-hydroxy-3-hydroxymethyl-2-butenyl] adenine, and its derivatives were designed and synthesized as open-chain analogues of neplanocin A. The syntheses were accomplished via the coupling of adenine or pyrimidine bases to the key intermediate allylic bromide 7. The bromide 7 was prepared from epichlorohydrin in a seven step process in a 54% overall yield. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antiviral activity against the polio virus, HSV and HIV.

  • Spectroscopic investigation has been carried out to know the binding mechanism of riboflavin with barbiturates, such as phenobarbital and amobarbital in chloroform solution by using infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. Phenobarbital and isoalloxazine form a 1:1 cyclic hydrogen bonded dimer through the 3-N imino and the 2-C carbonyl groups of the isoalloxazine ring of the latter, and the 1-N (or 3-N) imino and the 2-C carbonyl groups of the pyrimidine ring of the former. Amobarbital and riboflavin form a 1:1 cyclic hydrogen bonded dimer by the same mode of phenobarbital.
