LONG ISLAND SUBSECTIONUsing Stereochemistry to EngineerSelectivity and High Contrast in OpticalProbes for Metal Ions

Speaker: Dr. James CanaryNew York University

Building Fluorescent probes for metal ionscan be used to map metal ion concentra-tions or study cellular signaling mecha-nisms. Much recent interest has beendrawn to measurement of zinc and copperion concentrations because of the impor-tance of these metal ions in Alzheimer'sDisease, Prion Disease, and related disor-ders. Recently we have studied a class ofreceptors that utilize stereochemistry tomaximize selectivity for zinc ion. Vast differ-ences in Zn/Cu selectivity were observed forligands that differ only in the configuration ofa single stereocenter. Metal ion binding was

quantified by Fluorescence-DetectedCircular Dichroism, in a novel application ofthis technique, giving a much lower back-ground signal than available by more classi-cal fluorescence measurements.

WESTCHESTER CHEMICALSOCIETY — JOINT MEETINGWITH AMERICAN INSTITUTEOF CHEMICAL ENGINEERS,TAPPAN ZEE SECTIONRadon Occurrence and Health Risk

Speaker: Robert Hilbrandt, Jr.Quality Assurance Officer and Radiochemistry Technical Director for Westchester County Department of Laboratories & ResearchEnvironmental Services Unit

High levels of indoor radon are found inevery state. All sources of ground watercontain some level of radon, and in someinstances, can contribute significantly to thelevel of indoor radon. We know from med-ical and environmental studies that radon isa health risk, primarily as a cause of lungcancer. Because levels of radon vary fromplace to place, and because houses differ intheir vulnerability to radon, it is importantthat all homes be measured for radon. Thispresentation will discuss radon basics; whatit is, how it forms, and how it moves throughthe ground or is carried by water into build-ings, and explains some of the risksinvolved in exposure to radon and radio-active materials.

HUDSON-BERGEN CHEMICALSOCIETYMicrobes Survive,TechnologistsConnive and Companies Thrive

Speaker: Arnold L. DemainDrew University

Many antibiotics, pharmacological agents,antitumor drugs, agricultural pesticides, andother commercial products are derived frommicroorganisms. These microbes make theproducts in nature to protect themselvesand survive. When these organisms are"captured" and brought to the laboratory,they are subjected to multi-year strainimprovement programs in which they aretreated with toxic chemicals and/or irradia-tion which kills most of the microbial popula-tion and allows the technologist to isolatehigher-producing mutants. As a result, newproducts are commercialized to combatresistant infectious microbes, lower choles-terol and allow organ transplantation inhumans. As a result, natural products andtheir chemically or genetically-derived deriv-atives constitute about 50% of the pharma-ceutical market and include a number ofblockbuster drugs.

For five decades, Arnold L. Demain hasbeen a scientist constantly in the forefront ofindustrial microbiology and biotechnology.

Born in Brooklyn in 1927, Demain was edu-cated in the New York Public School system,received his BS and MS degrees atMichigan State University in 1949 and 1950respectively, and his Ph.D. at UC Berkeleyand Davis. He spent 15 years at Merckwhere he founded the FermentationMicrobiology Department in Rahway. Hejoined MIT in 1969 and remained for 32years. He is now at Drew University in theResearch Institute for Scientists Emeriti(RISE) where he trains students inresearch, does editorial work, and writes.He is an international consultant for thepharmaceutical and biotechnology indus-tries. His publications number over 480 plus10 books and 21 US patents. He is a mem-ber of the National Academies of Science ofthe USA, Hungary and Mexico.

NY-ACS BIOCHEMICALTOPICAL GROUP — JOINTMEETING WITH THE NYASBIOCHEMICAL PHARMACOLOGYDISCUSSION GROUP Cannabinoid Receptors:Pharmacological Opportunities forObesity and Inflammation

Organizers: Jeanne MagramBoehringer-Ingelheim PharmaceuticalsRidgefield, CT

and

Shawn BlackPfizerGroton, CT

The cannabinoid (CB) receptor class ofGPCRs consists of two members, CB1 andCB2. In addition to the endogenous ligandsfor these receptors, CB1 is the primaryreceptor for THC, the psychoactive compo-nent of marijuana. As marijuana is alsoknown to increase appetite, these receptorshave been studied for their effects on feed-ing behavior and more recently as attractivedrug targets for the treatment of obesity.CB2 receptors are more important in theperiphery, especially in cells involved inimmune responses. Thus, agonists of theCB2 receptor have been studied as poten-tial anti-inflammatory therapies. The physi-ologic role of these receptors and theirendogenous ligands are not yet completelyelucidated but are rich in information rele-vant for proposed novel therapies.

❅THIS MONTH IN CHEMICALHISTORYBy Harold GoldwhiteCalifornia State UniversityLos Angeles, CA

As my regular readers will know, I find thatold books with scientific content give a spe-cial perspective on the history of science. Irecently acquired some issues of a smallpublication entitled, “The Year Book of

Facts;” that’s the cover title. The full title, ingood Victorian fashion, is “The Year-Book ofFacts in Science and Art exhibiting the mostimportant discoveries and improvements ofthe past year…” (Yes, there is even more!).The volume I have before me is for the year1844 and was edited by “The Editor of ‘TheArcana of Science’ ” (a publication I have yetto locate). The volume is illustrated withengravings and was published by DavidBogue of Fleet Street in London. The twoengravings that comprise the frontspieceand the vignette on the title page are both ofsome interest to chemists. The former is aportrait of Dr. Justus Liebig “the celebratedProfessor of Chemistry in the University ofGiessen…”. The latter shows “Mr.Babbage’s Calculating or Difference Engine,lately deposited in George the Third’sMuseum, King’s College, London.” Mr.Babbage’s engine is generally acknowl-edged as the ancestor of modern digitalcomputers, and you can see portions of itand its successor calculators in the ScienceMuseum in South Kensington, London.

Let me turn to the section on ChemicalScience that makes up 31 pages of thisroughly 300-page book. Dr. Andrews, who Ibelieve is the same Andrews whose experi-ments on critical phenomena in carbon diox-ide are celebrated (at least among histori-ans of chemistry), communicated to theBritish Association [for the Advancement ofScience] a new general principle of thermochemistry. “When one base displaces anoth-er from any of its neutral combinations, theheat evolved or abstracted is always thesame when the base is the same…” As Iinterpret this rather terse and ambiguousstatement, I believe it illustrates an earlyexample of Hess’s Law, or the first law ofthermodynamics.

Mr. R. Hunt reported at the same BritishAssociation meeting a survey of the effect oflight on a variety of chemical compounds.This was the era of the beginnings of pho-tography. The article refers to “The experi-ments of Ritter, and others, down to the timeof Niepce and Daguerre…the researches ofWollaston, of Davy, of Fox Talbot and aboveall…Sir John Herschel.” Mr. Hunt addedplatinum to the list of materials includingcompounds of silver, gold, mercury, and ironthat were already established as photosen-sitive substances, and also exhibited pho-


tographs made with salts of manganese, tin,antimony, lead, cobalt, and arsenic. (I mayadd that, to my knowledge, of all thesematerials only platinum became well estab-lished as an alternative to silver in black andwhite photography, though gold prints werealso occasionally employed.)

Dr. Liebig read to the Chemical Society apaper “On the Formation of Fat in theAnimal Body.” In addition to his fundamentaland wide-ranging work in organic and inor-ganic chemistry, Liebig also contributed sig-nificantly to agricultural chemistry and nutri-tional chemistry. Liebig showed by experi-ments on three young pigs on a farm atGiessen that they added fat to their bodyweight in great excess over the fat they con-sumed and that therefore the fat was insome way being produced from starch,since potatoes were their main food.

The interest of the Editor and, presumably,the readers of the “Year-Book” in food chem-istry and agricultural chemistry is evident inthe large numbers of articles devoted tothese subjects. Titles include “Compositionof Milk”; “The Lacto Scope” (an instrumentfor measuring the proportion of cream inmilk); “Absorption of Nutrition in Food”;“Effects of Sugar in Diet” (still a topic ofgreat interest!); “Nutritive Values of Breadand Flour,” etc.

An article that caught the eye of this avidreader of mystery stories is titled “Riench’sTest for Arsenic” and is based on a paper byDr. D.P. Gerrard of New York published inSilliman’s “American Journal [of Science]”.Gerrard reports failures of Marsh’s test forarsenic, widely used in forensic chemistry,at low arsenic concentrations. Riench’s testis more sensitive but gives too many falsepositives. Gerrard demonstrates that sublim-ing the arsenic from the precipitate inRiench’s test increases the value and cer-tainty of the test.

Finally, for this month’s article, a reassuring(?) note on “Death from Prussic Acid,” betterknown as hydrogen cyanide. A Germanpaper asserts that death from prussic acidis only apparent (!); “life is immediatelyrestored by pouring acetate of potash andcommon salt, dissolved in water, on thehead and spine.” I emphatically warn myreaders against trying this remedy.

ACS DIVISION OF HISTORY OFCHEMISTRYThe ACS Division of History of Chemistry(HIST) proudly announces the initiation ofa new award program, the HIST Citationfor Chemical Breakthroughs. Beginningin 2005, these Citations will recognizebreakthrough publications and patentsworldwide in the field of chemistry.Plaques, to be placed in the hallways out-side the office or laboratory where thebreakthroughs were achieved, will be pre-sented annually to the departments andinstitutions at which these breakthroughsoccurred.

Jeffrey Seeman, Chair-Elect of HIST, sum-marized that “we believe that identifyingand celebrating chemical successes areimportant to the continued prosperity ofchemistry worldwide. We envision that ourcolleagues and friends, seeing theseplaques, will feel pride and inspiration inbeing a contributor to the sciences.” Theselection process will involve open solicita-tion of nominations from the chemicalcommunity. An awards committee com-prised of eminent scientists and historiansof science will provide careful screening ofthe nominees and selection of each year’sawardees. More details will be availablewithin the next few months.

HIST recognizes and appreciates that theinitial pool of deserving awardees is enor-mous and that, in the first few years of thisprogram, only a small percentage of themost deserving recipients can be honored.However, multiple awards will be giveneach year. Citations for ChemicalBreakthroughs now joins HIST’s DexterAward and its successor, the EdelsteinAward, presented annually since 1956;these awards honor individuals having out-standing achievements in the history ofchemistry. HIST intends to enlist ACSLocal Sections, HIST Division members,and for international recipients, sisterchemical and history organizations to par-ticipate in the awards ceremonies.
