Three tridentate mono-anionic Schiff base ligands of the O,N,S-donor set, namely 3,5-dibromo-N-(2-(methylsulfanyl)phenyl)salicylaldimine (HL1), 5-chloro-N-(2-(methyl-sulfanyl)phenyl)salicylaldimine (HL2), and 3,5-di-tert-butyl-N-(2-(methylsulfanyl)phenyl)-salicylaldimine (HL3) were prepared. Rea...

The structures of janthitrems B and C, the two most abundant tremorgenic mycotoxins produced by certain isolates of Penicillium janthinellum from New Zealand and Australia, have been elucidated by NMR spectroscopy. The compounds differ only by the oxygen atom in janthitrem B at C-22 but closely ...

Di(hetero)arylamines were prepared in moderate to high yields by Buchwald–Hartwig C–N coupling of bromobenzenes bearing electron-withdrawing groups and of a bromobiphenyl with several methyl 3-aminobenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylates, using the coupling conditions for heteroaromatic amines [Pd(OA...

The tetraaquabis(ethylisonicotinate)zinc(II) disaccharinate, [Zn(ein)2(H2O)4]·(sac)2 (ZENS) (ein: ethylisonicotinate and sac: saccharinate) complex has been synthesized and its crystal structure has been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The magnetic environments of VO2+ and Cu2+ doped ...

The synthesis of mer,trans-[RuIICl3(NO+)(EINT)2] (EINT = N-4-ethylisonicotinate), 1, was achieved by carefully working under ultrapure nitrogen atmosphere, by mixing RuIIICl3(NO)·H2O and EINT (1:2 M ratio in anhydrous ethanol) under stirring and at reflux conditions. Single crystals of 1 suitab...

Diamino-anthraquinone derivatives [1,4-bis(isopropylamino)anthraquinone (SB36), 1-amino-4-anilinoanthraquinone (SB68), and 1,4-bis(p-tolylamino)anthraquinone (SG3)] exhibit absorption maxima in red light wavelength range and demonstrate broad ground state light absorption from ultraviolet to inf...

Nearly 800 compounds have been studied for ability to inhibit glycolysis of salivary sediment. These compounds possessed aldehyde, ketone and/or carboxyl groups as a part of the organic structure. The compounds were tested mainly at 1% concentration or half-saturation, in water or in 10% propyle...

Lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is a flavin-dependent amine oxidase that selectively removes one or two methyl groups from H3 at Lys4 and is recognized as a promising therapeutic target for cancer and other diseases. Here, a series of 3-oxoamino-benzenesulfonamides were synthesized and eval...

Two series of 20 novel heterocyclic compounds, imidazothiadiazoles (3a-3j) and thiazolotriazoles (4a-4j) bearing benzenesulfonamide moiety were synthesized in order to investigate the inhibition potential of both scaffolds against four selected human carbonic anhydrase isoforms (hCA I, II, IX & ...

The synthesis of N-[(dimethylamino)methylidene]-4-[1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-tetrazol-5-yl]benzenesulfonamide (3) has been easily approached and the structure has been determined by X-ray crystallography.

A highly selective colorimetric detection method for putrescine on the basis of an optimized derivatization reaction was established. With the aids of o-phthalaldehyde (OPA) and thioglycolic acid (TGA), putrescine was derived to become red derivatives (PUT-RD), the form that can be detected qual...

o-Phthalaldehyde, a bifunctional cross-linking reagent, is commonly used as a probe for the active site of enzymes. In this study, the interaction of o-phthalaldehyde with camel lens ζ-crystallin was examined by activity and fluorescence measurements. Predictably, the oxidoreductase activity of...
