Here, based on the premise of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n3 PUFAs) as supplemental treatment to antipsychotic...

A facile synthesis of (1S,2R)-indene oxide with >99% e.e. and (1S,2S)-trans-2-bromo-1-indanol with 87% e.e. has been established by employing CBS-oxazaborolidine-catalyzed asymmetric borane reduction of 2-p-toluenesulfonyloxy-1-indanone using N-ethyl-N-isopropylaniline–borane complex as the bor...

Vibrational spectral analysis of the molecules 3,6-dichloro-4-methylpyridazine (DMP) and 3,6-dichloropyridazine-4-carboxylic acid (DPC) was carried out using FT-IR and FT-Raman spectroscopic techniques. The molecular structure and vibrational spectra of DMP and DPC were obtained by the density f...

Various 5-(fluoroaryl)-4-(hetero)aryl substituted pyrimidines have been synthesized based on the Suzuki cross-coupling and nucleophilic aromatic substitution of hydrogen (SNH) reactions starting from commercially available 5-bromopyrimidine and their antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium...

1.1. Vasodilating effects of cyclic nucleotides in cerebral vasculature were examined using membrane permeable cyclic nucleotide analogues, 8-bromoguanosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (8-Br-cGMP) and 8-bromoadenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (8-Br-cAMP).2.2. In isolated canine basilar arte...

The cytokinin activities of adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate, N6,O2″-dibutyryladenosine 3′,5−'monophosphate, 8-bromoadenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate, N6-(Δ2-isopentenyl)adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate, and N6-benzyladenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate were determined in the tobacco bioassay and...

Experiments were carried out in the opener muscle of the claw of small crayfish. After pretreatment of the preparation with serotonin (5-HT), application of the membrane permeant analogue of adenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP), 8-bromoadenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate was capable of evok...

Trophoblast cells from human term placenta in monolayer culture were used to investigate the role of adenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate in the production of human chorionic gonadotropin and estradiol-17β. The intracellular concentration of adenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate was elevated...

The present studies examined the responsiveness to human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) or 8-bromoadenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (8-Br-cAMP) of dehydrogenase-isomerase activity of cultured immature Band 2 (low density) or Band 3 (high density) Leydig cells isolated on Percoll gradients. Enzyme ac...

New caged derivatives of hydrolysis-resistant 8-bromoadenosine cyclic 3′,5′-monophosphate (8-Br-cAMP) and 8-bromoguanosine cyclic 3′,5′-monophosphate (8-Br-cGMP) are described. The compounds are the axial and equatorial isomers of the (7-methoxycoumarin-4-yl)methyl (MCM) esters of cyclic nuc...

Synthetic derivatives of cyclic adenosine monophosphate, such as halogenated or other more hydrophobic analogs, are widely used compounds, to investigate diverse signal transduction pathways of eukaryotic cells. This inspired us to develop cyclic nucleotides, which exhibit chemical structures co...

According to metal-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction, we synthesized a series of novel 2, 5-dihydrofuran derivatives and evaluated their in vitro anti-cancer activities via MTT method. The bioassay showed that the majority of the resultant compounds exerted anti-tumor effect against four ...

A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the determination of 3′-hydroxy-5′-(4-isobutyl-1-piperazinyl)benzoxazinorifamycin (KRM-1648, I), a new rifamycin derivative, and its 25-deacetyl metabolite (KRM-1671, II) in plasma, whole blood, tissues and urine...

A series of 40 7-(O-substituted)-2-morpholino-8-aryl-4H-benzo[e][1,3]oxazin-4-one derivatives was synthesized. They were prepared via synthesis of a key precursor, 8-bromo-7-hydroxy-2-morpholino-4H-benzo[e][1,3]oxazin-4-one 13 which was amenable to ether synthesis at the 7-position and Suzuki co...

Urinary nitrite and malondialdehyde (MDA) are biomarkers of nitrosative and oxidative stress, respectively. At physiological pH values of urine and plasma, nitrite and MDA exist almost entirely in their dissociated forms, i.e., as ONO− (ONOH, pKa = 3.4) and −CH(CHO)2 (CH2(CHO)2, pKa = 4.5). Prev...
