Efficient nonenzymatic decomposition of guanidine derivatives with high structural and functional diversity into anilide products is achieved in the presence of PdII/Cu(II) carboxylates/CO, relying on a dual C–N bonds cleavage strategy. In this decomposition process, the cooperative action of P...

Primary amine-guanidines derived from trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamines are used as organocatalysts for the enantioselective conjugate addition of isobutyraldehyde to arylated and heteroarylated nitroalkenes. The reaction was performed in the presence of imidazole as the additive in aqueous DMF as ...

2-Amino-1,4-dihydropyrimidines were reacted with bis-electrophiles to produce novel fused bipyrimidine, pyrimidoaminotriazine, and pyrimidosulfonamide scaffolds. In addition, a quinazoline library was constructed using a guanidine Atwal–Biginelli reaction with 1-(quinazolin-2-yl)guanidines. The...

Guanidines to begin with, were thought of being harmful substances associated with medical ailment. With the advent of World War I and the impact it left on the populations at large research focus was shifted, towards polymer synthesis and that too on plastics and rubbers which were mostly emplo...

New synthetic routes toward the commercial drugs cinacalcet hydrochloride, alverine, and tolpropamine were developed using a Heck–Matsuda arylation as the key-step. Several reaction conditions were evaluated for the Heck–Matsuda reaction using allylamine derivatives and arenediazonium salts. F...

We report here the fabrication of solid-contact calcium-selective electrodes (Ca2+-SCISEs) made of a polyurethane acrylate ion-selective membrane (ISM) that was covalently attached to the underlying ion-to-electron transducer (solid-contact). Methacrylate-functionalized poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythi...

A mild, elegant, catalyst free, and waste free methodology has been developed for the clear-cut synthesis of a diverse range of nitriles, acrylates, and acrylamides in good to excellent yields using aqueous propan-1,2-diol, a green reaction medium, at ambient temperature. Operational simplicity ...

Lipase Amano AK is found to be extremely efficient catalyst for hydrolytic kinetic resolution of acrylates of secondary alcohols in aqueous phosphate buffer at pH 7.0. Both aliphatic and benzylic secondary alcohols show good to excellent E values.

Asymmetric hydrogenation of tetrasubstituted olefins of cyclic β-(arylsulfonamido)acrylates produces the corresponding cyclic β-(arylsulfonamido)propionates using Pd(OCOCF3)2/diphosphine complexes as catalysts in the presence of TFA with up to 96% ee.

Here we reported a Pd-catalyzed coupling reaction between acrylate derivatives and BTP (2-bromo-3,3,3-trifluoropropene) to access 3-trifluoromethylated 1,3-dienes. The reaction allows the formation of the corresponding products in good to excellent yields and moderate Z/E diastereoisomeric ratio...

Polyamidoamine–poly N,N′-di-(2-aminoethyl) aminoethyl glutamine graft copolymers (PAMAM–PAGA) were synthesized by polymerization of BLG-NCA and subsequent aminolysis with tris-(2-aminoethyl)-amine. The chemical structure and composition of the copolymers were characterized by FT-IR and 1H NMR...

Recently, 2-((2-Aminoethyl) amino) ethanol (AEEA), containing a primary and a secondary amino group, is focused as a new solvent for post-combustion CO2 absorption. In this work, vapour-liquid equilibrium (VLE) of CO2 absorption in the aqueous AEEA is studied over a wide temperature range of 303...

Chemoresistance of ovarian cancer can be overcome by co-administration of retinoids, albeit clinical proof of this hypothesis is pending. Moreover, growth factor/c-erbB signaling is crucial for ovarian tumor growth/chemosensitivity. Retinoids and c-erbB modulators therefore represent promising d...

The rates of hydrolysis of RG 14620, a tyrphostin, have been determined at pH values between 1 and 10. The log k-pH profile shows the rate of the hydrolysis is proportional to the concentration of hydroxide ion above pH 5. In the acidic pH region, the profile shows a curve with a maximum between...

Ru(η6-arene) complexes of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibiting tyrphostins 1a and 1b were prepared, characterized and tested for DNA interaction and bioactivity in four human tumor cell lines. The intrinsic cytotoxicity and cell line selectivity of o-hydroxyanisol 1a was greatly e...

A unique example of Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative dehydrogenation of fully substituted N-acyl allyl enol carbonates is enabled by a new electron deficient phosphinooxazoline (PHOX) ligand. The reaction proceeds from the Z-enol carbonate to provide dehydrogenation products exclusively in high E/Z ...

A series of novel indole derivatives was synthesized as inhibitors of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase). Extensive structure–activity relationships were conducted and led to a potent FBPase inhibitor 3.9 with an IC50 of 0.99 μM. The binding mode of this series of indoles was predicted using...

Myeloid differentiation protein 2 (MD2) is a co-receptor of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) responsible for the recognition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and mediates a series of TLR4-dependent inflammatory responses in inflammatory lung diseases including acute lung injury (ALI). Targeting MD2 thus m...

Myeloid differentiation protein 2 (MD-2) is a co-receptor of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) for innate immunity. Here, we delineated a new mechanism of 1-dehydro-10-gingerdione (1D10G), one of pungent isolates from ginger (Zingiber officinale), in the suppression of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced...

SummaryWhereas in human medicine photodynamic therapy represents a well-known and recognized treatment option for diverse indications, it is still little known and unfortunately not yet established treatment option for pets. Various photosensitizers and light sources have been used and clinical ...
