چکیده

Although Keilin and Hartree (1934) and Blaschko (1935) have shown that sodium azide inhibits catalase derived from animal tissue, there is no information about its action on bacterial catalase. It seemed therefore desirable to make a quantitative study of the effects of sodium azide on catalase derived from this source. Since peroxides are metabolic products of many organisms, the inhibition of an enzyme which decomposes these substances might permit their accumulation in bactericidal quantities. The present paper deals with the effect of sodium azide on the catalase activity of bacteria, and an attempt is made to point out the possible significance of this action.

In recent years, publications from this laboratory (Snyder and Lichstein, 1940; Lichstein and Snyder, 1941; Lichstein, 1941) have indicated the value of sodium azide (NaN3) as an aid in the isolation of streptococci from clinical material containing "spreaders" and other interfering gram-negative organisms. The use of blood-infusion agar containing 0.02 per cent sodium azide for the cultivation...

Reaction of Sodium Azide with 1,1'–Dicyclohexenyl–Diepoxides

Nucleophilic ring opening of dl and meso 1,1¢- dicyclohexenyl diepoxides by sodium azide in dioxane and aqueous alcoholic medium give the corresponding azidoalcohols. The obtention of departure diepoxides from diazidoalcohols by the reaction with sodium hydride shows the anti position of OH and N3 groups.

arylaminotetrazoles : via [2+3] cycloaddition of nitriles and sodium azide via solid acid catalysis

The [3+2] cycloaddition between various nitriles and sodium azide proceeds smoothly in the presence of zeolite and sulfated Zircona as effective catalyst and in the water and DMF/MeOH, to give the corresponding arylaminotetrazoles in good to high yields. The reaction most probably precedes through the in situ formation of a catalyst azide species, followed by a successive [3+2] cycloaddition wi...
