General description

2-Hydroxycarbazole is a compound structurally related to the Ca2+-mobilizing marine toxin, 9-methyl-7-bromoeudistomin. Room temperature electronic absorption and fluorescence spectra of 2-hydroxycarbazole has been studied in concentrated aqueous potassium hydroxide solutions. It undergoes chemoselective N-alkylation using NaH as a base in a THF-DMF solvent system.

Application

2-Hydroxycarbazole was used in the synthesis of isochromene fused carbazol, (4aS,13bR)-2,5,5-trimethyl-3,4,4a,5,8,13b-hexahydroisochromeno[3,4-b]carbazole.

2-Hydroxycarbazole was shown to induce Ca2+ release from skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum at concentrations between 100-500 microM. This release was blocked by both 1 mM tetracaine and 30 microM ruthenium red which inhibit the ryanodine receptor or

In the physiological state, protein synthesis is controlled by calcium homeostasis in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Recently, evidence has been presented that dividing cells can adapt to an irreversible inhibition of the ER calcium pump (SERCA), although the mechanisms underlying
