    Yttrium-Catalyzed Amineโ€“Silane Dehydrocoupling: Extended Reaction Scope with a Phosphorus-Based Ligand

    No full text
    The scope of the catalytic dehydrocoupling of primary and secondary amines with phenylsilanes has been investigated using [Yยญ{Nยญ(SiMe<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>}<sub>3</sub>] and a four-coordinate analogue bearing a cyclometalated phosphonium methylide ligand. Inclusion of the phosphorus-based ligand on yttrium results in increased substrate scope in comparison to the trisยญ(amide) analogue. While reversible Cโ€“H bond activation of the cyclometalated ligand was observed in stoichiometric experiments, D-labeling experiments and DFT calculations suggest that reversible ligand activation is not involved in silazane formation under catalytic conditions. We suggest that the extended reaction scope with the four-coordinate yttrium phosphonium methylide complex relative to the three-coordinate yttrium (tris)ยญamide complex is a result of differences in the ease of amine inhibition of catalysis

    Phosphatidylserine Increases IKBKAP Levels in Familial Dysautonomia Cells

    Familial Dysautonomia (FD) is an autosomal recessive congenital neuropathy that results from abnormal development and progressive degeneration of the sensory and autonomic nervous system. The mutation observed in almost all FD patients is a point mutation at position 6 of intron 20 of the IKBKAP gene; this gene encodes the IฮบB kinase complex-associated protein (IKAP). The mutation results in a tissue-specific splicing defect: Exon 20 is skipped, leading to reduced IKAP protein expression. Here we show that phosphatidylserine (PS), an FDA-approved food supplement, increased IKAP mRNA levels in cells derived from FD patients. Long-term treatment with PS led to a significant increase in IKAP protein levels in these cells. A conjugate of PS and an omega-3 fatty acid also increased IKAP mRNA levels. Furthermore, PS treatment released FD cells from cell cycle arrest and up-regulated a significant number of genes involved in cell cycle regulation. Our results suggest that PS has potential for use as a therapeutic agent for FD. Understanding its mechanism of action may reveal the mechanism underlying the FD disease
