Chemistry of the pyrrolo[1,2-alpha]benzimidazole antitumor agents: influence of the 7-substituent on the ability to alkylate DNA and inhibit topoisomerase II

This study addresses the influence the 7-substituent on the cytotoxicity of pyrrolo[1,2-alpha]-benzimidazole quinones possessing a 6-aziridinyl group (PBIs) and a 6-acetamido group (APBIs). Reduction of a PBI to the aziridinyl hydroquinone results in both nucleophile trapping (alkylation) and 1,5-sigmatropic shift reactions. The latter process is essentially an internal redox reaction wherein the hydroquinone causes reductive opening of the aziridinyl ring. The 7-substituent controls the fate of the aziridinyl ring by means of steric and electronic effects. An electron-rich 7-substituent favors the 1,5-sigmatropic shift reaction. If the 7-substituent distorts the 6-aziridinyl group from the conformation required for the 1,5-sigmatropic shift, then nucleophile trapping occurs. The 7-methyl substituent results in significant nucleophilic trapping, and the 7-unsubstituted and 7-methoxy substituents favor the 1,5-sigmatropic reaction. Thus, the 7-methyl PBIs show the most cytotoxicity of the analogues studied. The APBIs are cytotoxic only as quinones, and reduction to the hydroquinone results in loss of activity. Consistent with this observation, the change from 7-methyl to the more electron-rich 7-methoxy results in a substantial loss of APBI cytotoxicity as well as decreased topoisomerase II inhibition. The mechanism of inhibition is thought to involve the interacalation of only electron deficient APBIs into DNA.     

Magnetization and rotation of MTG HTSC ring in magnetic field

The magnetization of a melt-texture growth (MTG) HTSC ring has been studied. It is shown that the magnetic field inside the ring is larger than the external field under a certain range of external magnetic fields. We have also investigated the magnetic field dependence of the response of a detective coil near a rotating superconducting ring. The responses of the MTG sample are different for different cooling methods.

Stability analysis of continuous-time periodic systems via theharmonic analysis

Asymptotic stability of finite-dimensional linear continuous-time periodic (FDLCP) systems is studied by harmonic analysis. It is first shown that stability can be examined with what we call the harmonic Lyapunov equation. Another necessary and sufficient stability criterion is developed via this generalized Lyapunov equation, which reduces the stability test into that of an approximate FDLCP model whose transition matrix can be determined explicitly. By extending the Gerschgorin theorem to linear operators on the linear space l₂, yet another disc-group criterion is derived, which is only sufficient. Stability of the lossy Mathieu equation is analyzed as a numerical example to illustrate the results     

Parameters evaluation of SOLA algorithm for time scale modification

Successful operation of the Synchronous Overlap and Add (SOLA) algorithm for Time Scale Modification (TSM) of speech is closely tied to the proper choice of parameters. This paper investigates the quality of time scale modified speech under different values of primary parameters. Based on Mean Opinion Score (MOS) tests and Bark Spectral Distortion (BSD) measure, the proper choices of synthesis shift (Ss) and the duration of the shift search interval (K _max?) are given experimentally. The conclusions can be helpful for operating the SOLA algorithm for time scale modification of speech.     

Identification of a class of nonlinear state-space models using RPEtechniques

The RPE (recursive prediction error) method in state-space form is developed in the nonlinear systems and extended to include the exact form of a nonlinearity, thus enabling structure preservation for certain classes of nonlinear systems. Both the discrete and the continuous-discrete versions of the algorithm in an innovations model are investigated, and a nonlinear simulation example shows a quite convincing performance of the filter as combined parameter and state estimator
