Chinese Journal of Magnetic Resonance, 1998, 15(2): 123-130.
A new series of polyglycol-phosphate-EDTA ester terpolymer ligands were synthesized by the copoly merization of ethylene diamine tetraacetic dianhydride(EDTAA), ethyl phosphodichloridate (or methyl phosphodichloridate, n-butyl phosphodichloridate) with diethylene glycol or triethyleneglycol, and their Fe(Ⅲ) complexes were prepared. The structures of these new ligands and Fe (Ⅲ) complexes were comfirmed by 1 H NMR, IR and elemental a nalysis. The longitudinal relaxation measurements on these macromolecular complexes indicated that most of them have higher relaxivity as compared to Fe(Ⅲ)-EDTA. Moreover, the acute toxicity test using one of these Fe (Ⅲ) complexes was performed and no obvious toxicity was observed. Finally, T1 -weighted contrast imaging of rat liver showed clear MRI enhancement after injection the new complex.

ESR STUDY ON THE MECHANISM OF AN TI-LIPID PEROXIDATIONOF AN TIOXIDANTS
Gao Shujuan, Liu Dongbo, Luo Guimin, Yang Tongshu, Shen Jiacong, Zhao Guangcheng
Chinese Journal of Magnetic Resonance, 1998, 15(2): 139-144.
Experiments were carried out using ESR spectra with 5, 5-dimethy l-1-pyrroline-Noxide (DMPO) as spin trap to study the antioxidant mechanism of glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). NADH-induced lipid peroxidation system was taken as an in vitro model. The results indicated that GSH could partly inhibit the generation of free radicals at low concentration, while SOD and HRP at proper ration could completely scavenge free radicals, thus prevent mitochondria lipid peroxidation from the damage of lipid peroxidation.

STUDY ON EFFECT OF EUROPIUMIONS ON tRNAPhe STRUCTURE WITH IMINO PROTON NMR SPECTROSCOPY

Chinese Journal of Magnetic Resonance, 1998, 15(2): 157-162.
The structure of phenylalanine transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNAPhe ) in solution was explored by 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance (1 H NMR) spectroscopy to evaluate the effect of europium ions (Eu3+ ) on the structural and conformational change. Trivalentions Eu3+ have specific effects on the iminoproton region of the 1 H NMR spectra of yeast tRNAPhe . The dependence of the iminoproton spectra of yeast tRNAPhe as a function of Eu3+ concentration was examined, and the results suggested that the tertiary base pair G15 ·C48 , which is located on the terminal in the augmented dihydrouridine helix (D-helix) was markedly affected by Eu3+ (shifted downfield by 0.85). Base pair U8 ·A14 in yeast tRNAPhe , which are stacked on G15 ·C48 , was also affected by added Eu3+ when 1~2Mg2+ ions were also present. Ano ther imino proton that may be affected by Eu3+ in yeast tRNAPhe is that of the tertiary base pair G19 ·C56 . The assignment of this resonance in yeast tRNAPhe is tentative since it is located in the region of highly overlapping resonances between 12.6 and 12.2. This base pair helps to anchor the D-loop to the TΨC loop. The binding of Eu3+ caused conformational change of tRNA, which is responsible for shifts to upfield or downfield in 1 H NMR spectra.

STUDIES ON THE KETO-ENOL TAUTOMERISM OF 6, 8-DIMETHYL-1, 2, 4-TRIAZOLOPYRIMIDINE-3-BUTANDIONE SULFIDE BY 1 H NMR
Wang Mingan, Liu Jun, Ren Tianrui, Chen Fuheng, Shen Qifeng
Chinese Journal of Magnetic Resonance, 1998, 15(2): 169-172.
The solvent and temperature effects on the Keto-Enol tautomerism of 6, 8-dimethyl-1, 2, 4-triazolopyrimidine-3-butandione sulfide were studied by 1 H NMR method in chloroform, acetone, methanol and DMSO. The equilibrium constants were diminished with the rising of temperature and fairly good linear relationship were found to be present between logK and T-1 . The ΔH and ΔS in these solvents have been obtained.
