Currently, the contributions of Starlette, Stella, and AJISAI are not taken into account when defining the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF), despite the large amount of data collected in a long time-span. Consequently, the SLR-derived parameters and the SLR part of the ITRF are almost exclusively defined by LAGEOS-1 and LAGEOS-2. We investigate the potential of combining the observations to several SLR satellites with different orbital characteristics. Ten years of SLR data are homogeneously processed using the development version 5.3 of the Bernese GNSS Software. Special emphasis is put on orbit parameterization and the impact of LEO data on the estimation of the geocenter coordinates, Earth rotation parameters, Earth gravity field coefficients, and the station coordinates in one common adjustment procedure. We find that the parameters derived from the multi-satellite solutions are of better quality than those obtained in single satellite solutions or solutions based on the two LAGEOS satellites. A spectral analysis of the SLR network scale w.r.t. SLRF2008 shows that artifacts related to orbit perturbations in the LAGEOS-1/2 solutions, i.e., periods related to the draconitic years of the LAGEOS satellites, are greatly reduced in the combined solutions.

9-$\beta$-D-arabinofuranosyl-2-fluoroadenine (F-ara-A) is an analogue of adenosine and 2$\sp\prime$-deoxyadenosine with potent antitumor activity both in vitro and in vivo. The mechanism of action of F-ara-A was evaluated both in whole cells and in experimental systems with purified enzymes. F-ara-A was converted to its 5$\sp\prime$-triphosphate F-ara-ATP in cells and then incorporated into DNA in a self-limiting manner. About 98% of the incorporated F-ara-AMP residues were located at the 3$\sp\prime$-termini of DNA strands, suggesting a chain termination property of this compound. DNA synthesis in CEM cells was inhibited by F-ara-A treatment with an IC$\sb{50}$ value of 1 $\mu$M. Cells were not able to restore the normal level of DNA synthesis even after being cultured in drug-free medium for 40 h. A DNA primer extension assay with M13mp18(+) single-stranded DNA template using purified human DNA polymerases $\alpha$ and further revealed that F-ara-ATP competed with dATP for incorporation into the A sites of the elongating DNA strands. The incorporation of F-ara-AMP into DNA resulted in a termination of DNA synthesis at the incorporated A sites. Pol $\alpha$ and $\delta$ were not able to efficiently extend the DNA primer with F-ara-AMP at its 3$\sp\prime$-end. Furthermore, the presence of F-ara-AMP at the 3$\sp\prime$-end of an oligodeoxyribonucleotide impaired its ligation with an adjacent DNA fragment by human and T4 ligases. Human DNA polymerase $\alpha$ incorporated more F-ara-AMP into DNA than polymerase $\delta$ and was more sensitive to the inhibition by F-ara-ATP, suggesting that polymerase $\alpha$ may be a preferred target for this analogue. On the other hand, DNA-dependent nucleotide turnover experiments and sequencing gel analysis demonstrated that DNA polymerase $\delta$ was able to remove the incorporated F-ara-AMP residue from the 3$\sp\prime$-end of the DNA strand with its 3$\sp\prime$-5$\sp\prime$ exonuclease activity in vitro, subsequently permitting further elongation of the DNA strand.^ The incorporation of F-ara-AMP into DNA was linearly correlated both with the inhibition of DNA synthesis and with the loss of clonogenicity. Termination of DNA synthesis and deletion of genetic material resulted from F-ara-AMP incorporation may be the mechanism responsible for cytotoxicity of F-ara-A.

The synthesis of the three N,N′-di(4-coumaroyl)tetramines, i.e., of (E,E)-N-{3-[(2-aminoethyl)amino]propyl}-3,3′-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-N,N′-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis[prop-2-enamide] (1a), (E,E)-N-{4-[(2-aminoethyl)amino]butyl}-3,3′-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-N,N′-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis[prop-2-enamide] (1b), and (E,E)-N-{6-[(2-aminoethyl)amino]hexyl}-3,3′-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-N,N′-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis[prop-2-enamide] (1c), is described. It proceeds through stepwise construction of the symmetric polyamine backbone including protection and deprotection steps of the amino functions. Their behavior on TLC in comparison with that of 1,4-di(4-coumaroyl)spermine (=(E,E)-N-{4-[(3-aminopropyl)amino]butyl}-3,3′-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-N,N′-(propane-1,3-diyl)bis[prop-2-enamide]; 2) is discussed.

The ligand 1,2-bis(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-1,2-ethanediol, 1, and its methylated derivative 2 are readily synthesized from tartaric acid, and act as chiral, facially coordinating tridentate ligands, forming complexes of composition ML2 with octahedral transition metals. The copper(II) complexes show distorted 4 + 2 coordination with benzimidazoles occupying the equatorial sites and alcohol functions weakly binding in the axial sites. Nickel(II) complexes in three different states of protonation show regular octahedral geometry with the alcohols mutually cis. Deprotonation of the coordinated alcohol produces little structural change but the monodeprotonated complex forms a hydrogen bonded dimer. Magnetic measurements show the hydrogen bonded bridge to offer a pathway for weak antiferromagnetic coupling. UV-Visible spectroscopy shows the ligand to have a field intermediate between water and pyridine. The diastereoselectivity of complexation depends on the geometry: nickel(II) shows a weak preference for the homochiral complex, whereas copper(II) forms almost exclusively homochiral complexes.
