A number of N-bis(trifluoromethyl)alkyl-N′-thiazolyl and -benzothiazolyl ureas have been synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antiproliferative activities against the human cancer cell lines at the National Cancer Institute (NCI, USA). The activity was shown for compounds 8a,c and 9a–c...

NMR was used to study the semiconductor photocatalytic (SPC) CC coupling of phenoxyacetic acid (PAA) with acrylamide (ACM) in an NMR tube photoreactor. Using an NMR tube with a sol–gel titania inner coating as a photoreactor, this reaction is relatively clean, forming only 1 product, 4-phenoxyb...

A bioactivity-guided approach was employed to isolate and determine the chemical identity of bioactive constituents with antifungal activity from Actinoplanes sp. HBDN08. The structure of the antifungal metabolite was elucidated as 5-hydroxyl-5-methyl-2-hexenoic acid on the basis of spectral ana...

In this study, a series of phosphazene derivatives having amino acid esters were synthesized from the reactions of amino acid esters with cyclophosphazenes. Hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene, (N3P3Cl6) and octachlorocyclotetraphosphazene (N4P4Cl8) have been reacted with carboxylic amino acid esters;...

Cancer is the second leading cause of mortality worldwide. Therapeutic approach to cancer is a multi-faceted one, whereby many cellular/enzymatic pathways have been discovered as important drug targets for the treatment of cancer. A major disadvantage of most of the currently available anticance...

A series of novel hedgehog signaling pathway inhibitors have been designed by structural modification based on the former reported scaffold of 4-(2-pyrimidinylamino)benzamide. The SAR for this series was described and many derivatives showed potent inhibitory activity. Among these compounds, com...

In this research paper, a stepwise chemical reaction was conducted to synthesize and develop of a new potent azo-oxazolone, which was used as prototypical molecule for production of two series of azo-benzimide (5a–j) and azo-imidazolone (6a–j). FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and CHN analysis were used...

This paper presents the synthesis of some benzamide compounds (B1–B10) by microwave-assisted ring opening of 4-(4-dimethylaminobenzylidene)-2-phenyl-5-oxazolone (AZ4). By conventional synthesis involving heating, it was found difficult to obtain ring-opened products, probably due to poor tenden...

The sulfonyl carbanion derived from 2,3-dihydro-1-benzothiophene-1,1-dioxide and its lithium salt has been investigated by DFT calculations. NMR and IR spectroscopic analyses showed that the lithium sulfonyl carbanion exists in solution as a monomer in equilibrium with a dimer. The lithium carba...

Results concerning the liquid phase nonisothermal decomposition kinetics of 2,5-dihydrothiophene-1,1-dioxide and three of its derivatives are presented.

Highly congested thiophene 1,1-dioxides, which carry two bulky substituents at 3- and 4-positions, afford the corresponding epoxides in high yields on oxidation with m-chloroperbenzoic acid in the presence of sodium carbonate, while the oxidation in the absence of sodium carbonate gives the ring...

Spectroscopic and theoretical quantum chemical studies of 2,5-dihydrothiophene-1,1-dioxide and 3-methyl-2,5-dihydrothiophene-1,1-dioxide have been carried out by FTIR and FT-Raman spectral techniques along with B3LYP methods. The geometry of the compounds have been optimised by B3LYP method with...

A number of 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)benzo[b]thiophenes with a hydroxy group in position 5 or 6 and a short alkyl group at C-3 were synthesized and studied for their estrogen receptor affinities. Relative binding affinities (RBA) for the calf uterine estrogen receptor ranged from 3 to 60 (17β-estradi...

Ten molecularly imprinted polymers coded as MIP1–MIP10 were prepared by the radical bulk polymerization using (R,S)-(±)-2-amino-1-phenylethanol as the structural analog of the target analyte (R,S)-octopamine. The functional monomers, 4-vinylbenzoic acid (1), methacrylic acid (2), acrylic acid ...

Monodispersed complex nano-particles were synthesized simply by mixing alginic acid (ALG-H) with poly[(2-dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate] (PDEMA) in pure water without any surfactants or additives. The structure and properties of the nano-particles were extensively studied. The surface charges...

We present a review of stimuli-responsive smart PEGylated nanogels and their biomedical applications. We describe the synthesis and characterization of stimuli-responsive PEGylated nanogels composed of a cross-linked poly[2-(N,N-diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (PDEAMA) core and PEG tethered cha...

A series of amphiphilic 4- and 6-armed star triblock co-polymers poly(ε-caprolactone)-b-poly(2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate)-b-poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) (4/6AS-PCL-b-PDEAEMA-b-PPEGMA) were developed by a combination of ring opening polymerization and continuous a...

The pH-responsive cellulose-g-poly[2-(diethylamino)-ethyl methacrylate] (cellulose-g-PDEAEMA) copolymers were successfully synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) in the ionic liquid 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([AMIM]Cl).
