The stannylated precursor is synthesized in six steps from 4-bromophenylacetylene in an overall yield of 16%. p...

SummaryBackgroundBruton tyrosine kinase is a clinically validated target in mantle cell lymphoma. Acalabrutinib (ACP-196) is a highly selective, potent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor developed to minimise off-target activity.

A series of enantiomerically pure 4-hydroxy-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-substituted proline and pyrrolidin-2-ylacetic acid derivatives have been synthesized starting from the respective N-protected 4-hydroxy derivatives via oxidation to the corresponding 4-oxo compounds, subsequent addition of organomet...

The title compound, (2E)-2-(ethoxycarbonyl)-3-[(4-methoxyphenyl)amino]prop-2-enoic acid is characterized by means of X-ray crystallography, spectroscopic methods and quantum chemical calculations. The title compound crystallizes in centrosymmetric space group P21/c. Moreover, the crystal structu...

Lecitase® Ultra was immobilized on epoxy-activated polymer (DILBEAD-VWR) functionalized with polyethyleneimine via adsorption and crosslinking with glutaraldehyde. The resolution of methyl trans-(±)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl) glycidate was carried out in xylene (e.e. >99%, conversion 50%). The enzyme ...

A new organic compound 3, 5-diethyl-2, 6-di(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-oxopiperidinium chloride (DMOC) was synthesized and its crystals were grown from an ethanolic solution adopting slow evaporation solution growth technique. The structure of the grown crystal was analyzed by single crystal X-ray diffr...

An efficient methodology for the selective and controlled oxidation of petroleum waste methylarenes/alkylarenes to aromatic carboxylic acids/ketone using easily recoverable and recyclable binaphthyl stabilized Pt nanoparticles (Pt-BNP) as a catalyst has been developed. The greener oxidant aq. te...

A simple and efficient procedure for the synthesis of N-acyl 4-hydroxy, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy and 3,4-dihydroxy phenylglycine amides by a strategy based on the multicomponent Ugi reaction is proposed. Hydroxybenzaldehyde derivatives were reacted with 4-methoxybenzylamine, cyclohexyl isocyanide and...

Therapeutic intervention with aldose reductase inhibitors appears to be promising for major pathological conditions (i.e., long-term diabetic complications and inflammatory pathologies). So far, however, clinical candidates have failed due to adverse side-effects (spiroimides) or poor bioavailab...

Thirteen new analogues of flavone-8-acetic acid, that is, compounds 10a–m bearing a methoxy group at the 7-position and diverse subsitiuents on the benzene ring at the 2- and 3-positions of flavone nucleus, were synthesized and evaluated for their direct antiproliferative effects on two human t...

Protoporphyrinogen oxidase (Protox, EC 1.3.3.4) has attracted great interest during the last decades due to its unique biochemical characteristics and biomedical significance. As a continuation of our research work on the development of new PPO inhibitors, 23 new 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-ones bear...

The major limitation for continuous administration of natural retinoids for chemoprevention of cancer is their high toxicity; however, synthetic retinamides have the desirable quality of reduced toxicity while retaining most of the biological activity. We have presently evaluated the comparative...

A rearrangement reaction of o-phthalaldehyde with urea/thiourea analogs or amides/thioamides under the catalysis of TMSCl (trimethylchlorosilane) is described, whereby a series of 2-carbonyl isoindolinones and 2-thiocarbonyl isoindolinones are afforded. This is the first time that the N-carbonyl...

In the present study on the development of new anticonvulsants, twenty three 1-(2-arylhydrazinecarboxamido)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate derivatives were synthesized and tested for anticonvulsant activity using the maximal electroshock (MES), subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ) screen...

A series of new 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives (6a–6x) containing pyridine and acylhydrazone moieties were synthesized and developed as potential telomerase inhibitors. The bioassay tests demonstrated that compounds 6n, 6o, 6q, 6s and 6t exhibited significant broad-spectrum anticancer activity wi...

Irradiation of azido carbonyl compounds using UV light (⩾310 nm) produced triplet alkyl nitrenes and aroyl radicals, which resulted in efficient cleavage of single strand DNA at pH 7.0. DNA cleaving ability of azido carbonyl compounds was found to be dependent on its concentration and substituen...

An NADP+-dependent dehydrogenase activity on 3-glutathionyl-4-hydroxynonanal (GSHNE) was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from a line of human astrocytoma cells (ADF). Proteomic analysis identified this enzymatic activity as associated with carbonyl reductase 1 (EC 1.1.1.184). The enzyme ...

An HPLC method with UV and electrospray ionization – mass spectrometry (ESI–MS) detection was developed for the separation and determination of obeticholic acid (OBE) and its related compounds in development process and quality control. OBE and its related compounds were classified into three ...
