Journal ArticleDOI
Uptake of a neurotoxin-candidate, (R)-1,2-dimethyl-6,7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline into human dopaminergic neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells by dopamine transport system.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the selective uptake by dopamine transporter may account for the specific neurotoxicity of (R)-1,2-DiMeDHTIQ to dopamine neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Calorimetric, nuclear magnetic, light-scattering, and mass spectral studies revealed that (S)-2-methylbutylamine (as a strong binder) can be discriminated by two enantiomeric supramolecular hosts, composed of CB and (R)- or (S-2- methylpiperazine, with an unprecedented 95% enantioselectivity in aqueous NaCl solution.
Journal ArticleDOI
A New Preparative Method for Allylic Indium(III) Reagents by Reductive Transmetalation of π-Allylpalladium(II) with Indium(I) Salts
TL;DR: A reductive transmetalation of the pi-allylpalladium(II) complexes, generated in situ from a catalytic amount of a palladium(0) complex and a variety of allylic substrates, with indium(I) salts proceeded smoothly in various solvents, providing a new route for allylindium(III) reagents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequential formation of a ternary complex among dihexylammonium, cucurbit[6]uril, and cyclodextrin with positive cooperativity.
Mikhail V. Rekharsky,Hatsuo Yamamura,Masao Kawai,Issey Osaka,Ryuichi Arakawa,Akihiro Sato,Young Ho Ko,Narayanan Selvapalam,Kimoon Kim,Yoshihisa Inoue +9 more
TL;DR: A unique ternary 1:1:1 cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6])-cyclodextrin (CD)-dihexylammonium (DHA) complex was designed and noncovalently synthesized in stepwise fashion.
