RESUMO
A new one pot multicomponent annulation strategy for the synthesis of various dihydroquinazolinone compounds has been developed using Amberlite-15 as a catalyst, giving good to moderate yields. In this reaction the substrate scope for amines and aldehydes was also investigated. The reaction has been checked on a large scale and the possible reaction mechanism has also been proposed.
RESUMO
Monoclonal antibody 12D11 (MAb 12D11) has been shown to bind histone H1 isolated from human placenta and other tissues but not histone H1 that has been digested with bacterial alkaline phosphatase. We show here that phosphorylation of phosphatase-treated histone H1 with cyclin dependent-kinase (CDK) restores binding by MAb 12D11. We conclude that MAb 12D11 selectively binds histone H1 that has been phosphorylated by CDKs, and we have investigated the use of MAb 12D11 as an immunohistochemical probe of CDK activity in situ. Previous immunofluorescence studies have revealed strong nuclear staining by MAb 12D11 in proliferating cultured cells and the absence of staining in terminally differentiated cells. Immunohistochemical staining of frozen and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections of benign tissues with MAb 12D11 was nuclear and confined to recognized foci of cell proliferation. In lymphoid germinal centers, MAb 12D11 preferentially stained large lymphoid cells with a relative lack of staining in small cleaved cells, contrasting with a lack of cell size discrimination observed with the monoclonal antibody proliferation probe, MIB-1. Tumor tissues displayed strong albeit heterogeneous staining of malignant cells by MAb 12D11, with little or no staining observed in surrounding nonneoplastic stromal cells. Differential staining by MAb 12D11 of invasive and in situ carcinoma suggest applications in prognostication. MAb 12D11 may also be useful in identification of tumors more likely to respond to therapeutic CDK inhibitors.
