Abstract
The preparation of (18)F-labeled ligands for positron emission tomography (PET) and the subsequent imaging have to be completed within a half-life of the neutron-deficient isotope ((18)F=110 min). In this paper, we report a rapid fluorination approach to obtain 5'-deoxy-5'-fluoro-substituted uracil nucleoside analogues. Nucleophilic substitution at the 5'-position of the nucleosides was achieved within 45 min providing excellent yields of 75-92% by application of microwaves.

Abstract
[Omega-(Adenosyl)alkyl]cobalamins (homoadenosylcobalamins) are useful analogues of adenosylcobalamin to get information about the distance between Co and C5', which is critical for Co-C bond activation. In order to use them as probes for exploring the active sites of enzymes, the coenzymic properties of homoadenosylcobalamins for diol dehydratase and ethanolamine ammonia-lyase were investigated. The kcat and kcat/Km values for adenosylmethylcobalamin were about 0.27% and 0.15% that for the regular coenzyme with diol dehydratase, respectively. The kcat/kinact value showed that the holoenzyme with this analogue becomes inactivated on average after about 3000 catalytic turnovers, indicating that the probability of inactivation during catalysis is almost 500 times higher than that for the regular holoenzyme. The kcat value for adenosylmethylcobalamin was about 0.13% that of the regular coenzyme for ethanolamine ammonia-lyase, as judged from the initial velocity, but the holoenzyme with this analogue underwent inactivation after on average about 50 catalytic turnovers. This probability of inactivation is 3800 times higher than that for the regular holoenzyme. When estimated from the spectra of reacting holoenzymes, the steady state concentration of cob(II)alamin intermediate from adenosylmethylcobalamin was very low with either diol dehydratase or ethanolamine ammonia-lyase, which is consistent with its extremely low coenzymic activity. In contrast, neither adenosylethylcobalamin nor adeninylpentylcobalamin served as active coenzyme for either enzyme and did not undergo Co-C bond cleavage upon binding to apoenzymes.

Abstract
Efficient electrochemical syntheses of "homocoenzyme B(12)" (2, Co(beta)-(5'-deoxy-5'-adenosyl-methyl)-cob(III)alamin) and "bishomocoenzyme B(12)" (3, Co(beta)-[2-(5'-deoxy-5'-adenosyl)-ethyl]-cob(III)alamin) are reported here. These syntheses have provided crystalline samples of 2 and 3 in 94 and 77 % yield, respectively. In addition, in-depth investigations of the structures of 2 and 3 in solution were carried out and a high-resolution crystal structure of 2 was obtained. The two homologues of coenzyme B(12) (2 and 3) are suggested to function as covalent structural mimics of the hypothetical enzyme-bound "activated" (that is, "stretched" or even homolytically cleaved) states of the B(12) cofactor. From crude molecular models, the crucial distances from the corrin-bound cobalt center to the C5' atom of the (homo)adenosine moieties in 2 and 3 were estimated to be about 3.0 and 4.4 A, respectively. These values are roughly the same as those found in the two "activated" forms of coenzyme B(12) in the crystal structure of glutamate mutase. Indeed, in the crystal structure of 2, the cobalt center was observed to be at a distance of 2.99 A from the C5' atom of the homoadenosine moiety and the latter was found to be present in the unusual syn conformation. In solution, the organometallic moieties of 2 and 3 were shown to be rather flexible and to be considerably more dynamic than the equivalent group in coenzyme B(12). The homoadenosine moiety of 2 was indicated to occur in both the syn and the anti conformations.

Abstract
We describe synthetic strategies for the biotinylation of testosterone (T) at positions 3, 7alpha, 17alpha, and 19. These T probes are able to mimic ligand binding and may provide for a better understanding of the biospecific interaction with steroid-binding proteins such as the androgen receptor, anti-steroid antibodies, or steroid-binding serum globulins. For the 7alpha- and 17alpha-derivatives, biotinyl-N-hydroxy-succinimide esters with different types of spacer chains were used. The 3-biotin hydrazone derivative was produced using N-(epsilon-biotinyl)-caproyl hydrazide, whereas for the 19-biotinylation, a biotinyl-1-N-diamino-3, 6-dioxaoctane-amide was applied. Key reaction for the biotinylation at position 3 is the oximation of the 3-oxo function. The 17alpha-position is accessible by the reaction of the 3-protected 4-androsten-17-epoxide with oxygen in the beta-position, followed by nucleophilic ring opening with cyanide which provides the 17alpha-cyanomethyl derivative. The key step is the regioselective ketal protection of the 3-oxo function of androst-4-ene-3,17-dione using a stannoxane catalyst. An alternative pathway for the insertion of biotin at the 19-position was established by the synthesis of 17beta-hydroxy-androst-4-en-3-one-19-yl carboxymethyl ether. After activation by the carbodiimide method, the compound reacts with aminoterminal biotin derivatives. The copper(I)-catalyzed 1,6 Michael addition of 17-acetoxy-6,7-dehydro-T leads to 7alpha-derivatives by use of omega-silyl protected hydroxylalkyl-modified Grignard reagents. A functional group interconversion using the Staudinger reaction transforms the azide function into a primary omega-amino group. The absolute configurations of the different biotinylated derivatives were investigated by (1)H NMR studies. For the 7alpha-biotinylated T series, additionally, an X-ray analysis proved the axial position of the spacer group. This results in a vertical orientation of the biotin moiety toward the alpha-face of the planar tetracyclic backbone. Thus, a negligible alteration of the original structure of the upper beta-face offers the feasibility of applying the 7alpha-derivatives as optimal immunochemical tracers in competitive immunoassays. Biotinylated T derivatives should be also suitable for ligand-binding studies to the androgen receptor or to sex hormone-binding globulin.

Abstract
A new analogue of coenzyme B12 (5'-deoxyadenosylcobalamin, AdoCbl), in which the configuration of the N-glycosidic bond in the Ado ligand is inverted [(alpha-ribo)AdoCbl], has been synthesized and its crystal structure determined by X-ray diffraction [MoKalpha, lambda = 0.71073 A, monoclinic P212121, a = 16.132(12) A, b = 21. 684(15) A, c = 27.30(3) A, 9611 independent reflections, R1 = 0. 0708]. As suggested by molecular mechanics modeling before the structure was known, the Ado ligand lies over the southern quadrant of the molecule, as is the case for AdoCbl. The most striking feature of the structure is disorder in the orientation of the adenine (Ade) moiety relative to the ribose of the Ado ligand. This was resolved with a two-state model in which in the major (0.57 occupancy) conformer the A16(O)-A11-A9(N)-A8 dihedral angle is 1.9 degrees and the Ade is virtually perpendicular to the corrin ring; in the minor conformer, the Ade is tilted down, and this dihedral is -48.7 degrees. The Co-C and axial Co-N bond lengths and the Co-C-C bond angle are quite similar to those in AdoCbl. The corrin ring is considerably flatter than that of AdoCbl, with a fold angle of 11.7 degrees. The molecule was successfully modeled by molecular mechanics (MM), and rotation of the Ado ligand relative to the corrin gave rise to four locally minimum structures with the Ado in the southern, eastern, northern, or western quadrant, with the southern conformation as the global minimum, as is the case with AdoCbl itself. Nuclear Overhauser effects (nOe's) observed by two-dimensional (2D) NMR were incorporated as restraints in molecular dynamics (MD) and simulated annealing (SA) calculations. A MD simulation at 300 K showed that only the southern conformation is populated with the Ado ligand confined to an arc from over C15 to over C12, while the Ade ring oscillates from perpendicular to parallel to the corrin ring. Twenty-seven structures were collected by MD-SA. Most of these annealed into the southern conformation, but examples of the other conformations were also found. The new analogue is a partially active coenzyme for the ribonucleotide reductase from Lactobacillus leichmanii with maximal activity that is 9.7% of that of AdoCbl itself, and a very high Km value (245 microM compared to 0.54 microM for AdoCbl). In addition, the rate constant for enzyme-induced carbon-cobalt bond cleavage of (alpha-ribo)AdoCbl is 160-fold smaller than that for AdoCbl, and only 1/3 as much cob(II)alamin is produced at the active site.

Abstract
(Co beta-5'-Deoxyadenosin-5'-yl)-(p-cresolyl)cobamide (Ado-PCC), an analogue of the base-off form of coenzyme-B12 (CoB12), was prepared by alkylation of (Co alpha/beta-cyano/aqua)-(p-cresolyl)cobamide (PCC) with 5'-chloro-5'-deoxyadenosine. The 500 MHz 1H-NMR spectrum of Ado-PCC in D2O at pH 7.4 was completely analyzed using COSY and NOESY two-dimensional experiments. The coenzyme and inhibitory activities of Ado-PCC were tested with three coenzyme-B12-dependent enzymes: (R)-methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, glycerol dehydratase, and diol dehydratase. Ado-PCC showed strong coenzyme activity with methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, which is known to bind the base-off form of CoB12. In contrast, Ado-PCC had no coenzyme activity but acted instead as a competitive inhibitor with glycerol dehydratase and diol dehydratase, which are likely to prefer the base-on form of CoB12. These results indicate that Ado-PCC, whose structure is analogous to the base-off form of CoB12, can be used for probing the mode of coenzyme binding by coenzyme-B12-dependent enzymes.

Abstract
Kinetic investigations were performed on the coenzyme-B12-dependent glycerol dehydratase and diol dehydratase reactions using 1,2-propanediol as substrate and [omega-(adenosin-5'-O-yl)alkyl]cobalamins as mimics of the posthomolysis intermediate state of the coenzyme. All the coenzyme-B12 analogues with oligomethylene chains (C3-C7) inserted between the central Co atom and the 5' O of the adenosine moiety were competitive inhibitors with respect to coenzyme B12. The apparent inhibition constants (Ki) of the shorter-chain inhibitors, especially the C5 inhibitor, were smaller for both enzymes than those of the longer-chain (C6, C7) compounds. These results are in agreement with the expected (0.6-0.9 nm) distance between the Co and 5'-methylene paramagnetic centers in the posthomolysis intermediate state of coenzyme B12 in these reactions.
