Pharmacology

MeSH Pharmacological Classification · 3 items

Drugs that inhibit cholinesterases. The neurotransmitter ACETYLCHOLINE is rapidly hydrolyzed, and thereby inactivated, by cholinesterases. When cholinesterases are inhibited, the action of endogenously released acetylcholine at cholinergic synapses is potentiated. Cholinesterase inhibitors are widely used clinically for their potentiation of cholinergic inputs to the gastrointestinal tract and urinary bladder, the eye, and skeletal muscles; they are also used for their effects on the heart and the central nervous system.

Reagents with two reactive groups, usually at opposite ends of the molecule, that are capable of reacting with and thereby forming bridges between side chains of amino acids in proteins; the locations of naturally reactive areas within proteins can thereby be identified; may also be used for other macromolecules, like glycoproteins, nucleic acids, or other.

Toxic substances from microorganisms, plants or animals that interfere with the functions of the nervous system. Most venoms contain neurotoxic substances. Myotoxins are included in this concept.

Applications · 5 items

Description2, 5-hexadione (2,5-HD) is a flammable, transparent colorless to amber water-soluble liquid that is a multifunctional platform chemical, a major metabolite of n-hexane, and a key intermediate for the production of high energy density aviation fuels from biomass resources. It has a sweet aromatic smell and neurotoxic effects. It can be used as a high energy density fuel additive of platform chemicals, and can induce ovarian granulosa cell cycle arrest to establish ovarian injury model. It can also be used for biological monitoring of 2, 5-hexanedione exposure to n-hexane[1-2].

UsesIt is the metabolite implicated in n-hexane neurotoxicity.

Uses2,5-Hexanedione is used as a reagent in the preparation of trans-2,5-dimethylpyrrolidine. It is also used in the synthesis of 2,5-dimethylpyrroles. Further, it plays an important role as a reagent used for the protection of amino groups in amino sugars and nucleosides. In addition to this, it is used in the preparation of five-membered heterocycles like indane-type and benzannulated systems. It is also employed as a precursor in Diels-alder cycloaddition reactions.

UsesUrinary 2,5-hexanedione (2,5-HD) is used as a biomarker for biological monitoring of workers exposed to n-hexane.[6]

General DescriptionClear colorless to amber liquid with a sweet aromatic odor.

Preparation methods · 1 item

Preparation20 g of diethyl 2,3-diacetylbutanedioate are mechanically shaken for several days with 250 ml (excess) of 5% aqueous sodium hydroxide, and until no diethyl 2,3-diacetylbutanedioate separates on acidification of a sample with dilute hydrochloric acid. The solution is then saturated with potassium carbonate and extracted with ether, the extract is washed with brine to remove alcohol, dried over calcium chloride, and distilled, the fraction 192-198° C being retained. You can get 2,5-Hexanedione with a yield of 70%. Colourless liquid; agreeable odour; miscible with water, alcohol and ether; m.p. 9° C; b.p. 194° C; d=0.973 g/ml at 20° C.
