This paper reports the design and synthesis of a novel series of 8-arylpyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-amines via microwave-assisted multi-step synthesis. A common precursor of the whole series, 3-amino-5-bromothieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carbonitrile, was rapidly synthesized in one step ...

A new series of 2,3-disubstituted quinazolin-4(3H)-one compounds including oxadiazole and furan rings was synthesized. Their inhibitory activities on urease were assessed in vitro. All newly synthesized compounds exhibited potent urease inhibitory activity in the range of IC50 = 1.55 ± 0.07–2....

The ion exchange method was used to intercalate a poor water-soluble insecticide, isoprocarb into zinc layered hydroxide (ZLH). PXRD analysis indicated the successful intercalation with good crystallinity for the resulting nanocomposite, with a basal spacing of 33.1 Å. FTIR analyses showing the ...

The aqua ligands of diaquabis(salicylato)zinc and diaquabis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylato)zinc are easily displaced generating related bis-pyridine and 2,2′-bipyridyl complexes. Attempts to recrystallise the tert-butylsalicylate from ethanol resulted in replacement of the aqua ligands by ethanol ...

Phosphorous and sulfur L- and K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra were recorded to characterize the surface chemistry of the tribofilms derived from a commercial zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) and its blends with overbased calcium and magnesium salicylate detergents. ...

This study aimed to investigate sodium salicylate (SS) treatment effects on the proteome of adipose tissue (AT) in postpartum cows. Twenty Holstein cows were assigned to control (CON, n = 10) or SS (n = 10) provided via drinking water (2.3 g/L) during the first 7 d of lactation. Subcutaneous AT ...

The Tb3+-doped zinc salicylate, Zn(HOC6H4CO2)2:Tb, and the zinc monosalicylate, α- and β-Zn(OC6H4CO2): Tb, are synthesized by rheological phase reaction and thermal decomposition. α-Zn(OC6H4CO2): Tb has very strong green emission of Tb3+ under excitation with UV light. The excitation and emis...

Two novel coordination complexes having salicylate and bidentate rigid organodiamine ligands, namely, [Zn(μ-bpp)2(Sal)2]n (1) and [{Zn(Sal)2}2(μ-bpe)]2 (2) [bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane, bpe = 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane, and Sal− = salicylate anion] were synthesized under solvothermal conditi...

Effects of zinc- and copper-salicylate, as effective termicide compounds, were studied on biological resistance of particleboard against Anacanthotermes vagans termite. Particleboard panels were produced with industrial wood chips obtained from Rafsanjan Particleboard Factory. Specimens were pre...

Fatty acid conjugates of hydroxy-metabolites of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or cannabinol have already been reported as metabolites in rats. In the herein presented investigation, palmitic acid esters of THC and its primary metabolite 11-hydroxy-delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (11-OH-THC) were synthe...

N-Aliphatic ester analogues of the non-opioid ketamine (1) retain effective anaesthetic/analgesic properties while minimising ketamine’s psychomimetic side-effects. We show that the anaesthetic/analgesic properties of these ester analogues depend critically on the length (from 2 to 4 carbons), ...

The synthesis of a selection of compounds related to 9-cis-retinoic acid and tagretin is outlined. The methodology utilises the Pauson–Khand and Heck reaction as the key steps to prepare the intermediate aryl cyclopentenone regioisomers.

Naphthoquinones and 1,2,3-triazoles are structural pharmacophore that is known to impart several cancer cells. This work shows a synthetic methodology to obtain hybrid molecules involving naphthoquinone and triazol scaffold as multiple ligands. A simple and efficient synthetic route was used to ...
