We examined the effects of 2,5,6-tribromo-1-methylgramine (TBG), isolated from bryozoan, and its derivative, 5,6-dibromo-1,2-dimethylgramine (DBG), on the contraction of rat aorta. TBG and DBG decreased the high-K(+)-induced increase in muscle contraction and cytosolic Ca(2+) level ([Ca(2+)](i)), respectively. The inhibitory effects

5,6-Dibromo-1,2-dimethylgramine evoked Ca(2+) release from skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum through ryanodine receptors in a concentration-dependent manner with an EC(50) of 22.2 microM. Since the EC(50) of caffeine was 0.885 mM, 5,6-dibromo-1,2-dimethylgramine was 40 times more sensitive than caffeine. Among 14
[reaction: see text] In the presence of NXS (X = Br, I, Cl), gramine derivatives 1, derived by combined directed ortho metalation (DoM)-cross-coupling sequences, rapidly undergo retro-Mannich fragmentation (2) to afford 3-halo indoles 3 in 37-88% yields. A conceptually new

Mutation of a conserved Asp (D98) in the rat serotonin (5HT) transporter (rSERT) to Glu (D98E) led to decreased 5HT transport capacity, diminished coupling to extracellular Na+ and Cl-, and a selective loss of antagonist potencies (cocaine, imipramine, and citalopram

The first total synthesis of paraherquamide A, a potent anthelmintic agent isolated from various Penicillium sp. with promising activity against drug-resistant intestinal parasites, is reported. Key steps in this asymmetric, stereocontrolled total synthesis include a new enantioselective synthesis of alpha-alkylated-beta-hydroxyproline
