Novel applications of the "t-amino effect" in heterocyclic chemistry. Synthesis of a pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinazoline and 5H-pyrrolo[1,2-a][3,1]benzothiazines

1-(1-Pyrrolidinyl)benzenes substituted with an imino- or an in situ generated thiocarbonyl group in the 2-position rearrange upon heating to quinazoline and benzothiazine derivatives, respectively

Novel formaldehyde-induced modifications of lysine residue pairs in peptides and proteins: identification and relevance to vaccine development

) formaldehyde-induced methylation and formylation of two adjacent lysine residues. These products react further to form intramolecular cross-links between the two lysine residues. At higher peptide concentrations, these two main reaction products were also found to subsequently cross-link to lysine residues in other peptides, forming dimers and trimers. The accurate identification and quantification of formaldehyde-induced modifications improves our knowledge of formaldehyde-inactivated vaccine products, potentially aiding the development and registration of new vaccines.Drug Delivery Technolog

Degradomics-based analysis of tetanus toxoids as a quality control assay

-adsorbed tetanus toxoids. Overall, the assay shows potential for use in both stability studies and as an alternative for in vivo potency studies by showing batch-to-batch consistency of bulk toxoids as well as for aluminum-containing vaccines.Drug Delivery Technolog
