| Popis: | Near-ultraviolet absorption and circular dichroic spectra of several B-ring derivatives of colchicine have been obtained in a variety of solvents. The spectra of the molecules in solvent were analyzed and compared with spectra of the molecules bound to tubulin. Absorption spectra of deacetamidocolchicine, deacetylcolchicine, demecolcine, and N-methyldemecolcine [B-ring substituents = H, NH2, NHCH3, and N(CH3)2, respectively] were analyzed by multiple differentiation of the spectrum. It was found that an amine substituent at the C-7 position on the B-ring of the colchicinoid affected the higher energy transition of the near-ultraviolet spectra of the colchicinoid in the absence of tubulin in a manner consistent with a hyperconjugative alteration of this transition. The fourth derivatives of the absorption spectra of all four molecules bound to tubulin were similar to each other and to colchicine. As was true in the case of colchicine, the negative near-ultraviolet circular dichroic band of the aminoclochicinoids was relatively unaffected by solvent, but the molar ellipticity of the band was greatly reduced with tubulin binding. It is concluded that the binding site environments of the B-ring analogues of colchicine, as probed by absorption and circular dichroic spectroscopy, are equivalent. |
