Cycloaspeptides F (1) and G (2), two new cyclic pentapeptides, and the known cycloaspeptides A (3), C (4), and bisdethiodi(methylthio)hyalodendrin (5) have been isolated from the crude extract of the fungus Isaria farinosa that colonizes Cordyceps sinensis. The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated primarily by NMR and MS methods. The absolute configuration of 1 was assigned using Marfey's meth...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurologically degenerative disorder that affects more than 20 million people worldwide. The selective butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitors and bivalent cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitors represent new treatments for AD. FINDINGS A series of lycorine derivatives (1-10) were synthesized and evaluated for anti-cholinesterase activity. Resul...

A series of twelve recently synthesized 6-substituted derivatives of 9-beta-d-ribofuranosylpurine 3',5'-cyclic phosphate (RPcMP) were evaluated for in vitro antiviral activity, using inhibition of viral cytopathogenic effect as the primary parameter for evaluation. Inhibition of the development of intra- and extracellular virus titer was used as a secondary criterion with certain viruses. Five ...

new analogues of nifedipine, as a known calcium channel blocker, were synthesized by replacing the orthonitrophenyl group on position 4 with 1-(4-nitrobenzyl)-5-imidazolyl or 2-methylthio-1-(4-nitrobenzyl)-5-imidazolyl substituent. effects of the new synthesized compounds on blood pressure were studied at 15, 30 and 60 min after administration by indirect tail-cuff method and compared with nife...

We have developed a fluorescent nanoprobe (AgP-1) that can detect silver ions (Ag+) in biological media. For the first time, hybridized structure based on AIEgen (tetraphenylethylene; TPE) and 2-(methylthio)aniline (MTA) moiety has been designed, its unique sensing properties toward were systematically analyzed. The AgP-1 an aggregated form with weak fluorescence showed significant enhancement ...

Cyanobacterium Plectonema boryanum IU 594 and cyanophage LPP-1 were used as indicator organisms in a bioassay of 16 pesticides. Experiments such as spot tests, disk assays, growth curves, and one-step growth experiments were used to examine the effects of pesticides on the host and virus. Also, experiments were done in which host or virus was incubated in pesticide solutions and then assayed fo...

The title compound, 5-(4,5-dimethylthio-1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)-1,3-diaza-2,4,6-trithiapentalene (4,5-dimethylthio [1,2,5]thiadiazolotetrathiafulvalene, molecular formula C(8)H(6)N(2)S(7)) crystallizes in the P2(1)/n space group with one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The molecular framework is planar within 0.19 A. The molecules form a head-to-tail type of pi-stacking dimer with an interplana...
