Quantum chemical (MNDo)caleulations have beenused toelucidate the molecular properties and structure - activity relationships of dihydropyridine (DHP) type calcium antagonists. There is a good corielation between the net atomic charges on various atoms of the 4 - phenyl ring of dihydropyridines and pharmacological activity. .Also, activity decreases with increasing free rotation of the phen...

Compounds with antimicrobial activity have gained much attention in research due to the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Quaternary ammonium salts (QASs) are an emerging group antibacterial agents that used as disinfectants. Many studies been carried out involving applications QASs antifouling for inhibition biofilm growth on medical implants and antibacterials surfaces aquatic ...

a series of indole-based aryl(aroyl)hydrazone analogs of antiplatelet indole-3-carboxaldehyde phenylhydrazone were synthesized by the schiff base formation reaction and their antiplatelet activity was assessed using human platelet rich plasma. the platelet concentrate was obtained using a two-step centrifugation protocol and adp, arachidonic acid and collagen were used as inducers of platelet a...

lysozyme is a bactericidal enzyme whose structure and functions change in diabetes. chemical chaperones are small molecules including polyamines (e.g. spermine), amino acids (e.g. l-lysine) and polyols (e.g. glycerol). they can improve protein conformation in several stressful conditions such as glycation. in this study, the authors aimed to observe the effect of l-lysine as a chemical chaperon...
