Convergent Synthesis of the CDEF Ring Fragment of Yessotoxin via α-Cyano Ethers

TL;DR: The CDEF ring fragment of yessotoxin, a marine ladder polyether, has been synthesized in this paper using Sc(OTf) 3 to afford the α-cyano ether both in stepwise and one-pot reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maitotoxin-photoactive probe binds to membrane proteins in blood cells

TL;DR: Screening of polyether compounds for MTX inhibitory activity using Ca 2+ flux assays in C6 cells disclosed that a synthetic fragment of the hydrophilic portion of MTX inhibited the MTX activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of Rap1A as a yessotoxin binding protein from blood cell membranes

TL;DR: HPLC-tandem mass spectrometry indicated that Rap 1A, one of Ras superfamily proteins, binds to the YTX-linked resins, and western blotting and surface plasmon resonance experiments confirmed that Rap1A specifically binds to YTX with the K(D) value around 4 μM.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ion channel complex of antibiotics as viewed by NMR

TL;DR: Using rotor-synchronous double resonance experiments such as REDOR and RDX, it is estimated that the distance between the fluorine atom and its nearest carbon in the heptaene moiety to be less than 8.6 Å, indicating that the B ring of ergosterol comes close to the AmB polyenes moiety.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cholesterol-Induced Conformational Change in the Sphingomyelin Headgroup.

TL;DR: The conformational ensemble in the presence of Cho may enhance the so-called umbrella effect of the SSM headgroup, resulting in the stabilization of Cho near the SM molecules by concealing the hydrophobic Cho core from interfacial water.
