A new comparative series of barbituric acid and thiobarbituric acid based chalcone derivatives bearing the pyrimidine nucleus were synthesized. The chemical structures of the resulting molecules were characterised by means of FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared) 1H NMR, 13C-NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) and HMBC (Heteronuclear Multiple-Bond Correlation) and Elemental Analysis. All synthesized ...

1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) causes nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurotoxicity and behavioral impairment in rodents, and previous studies suggest that nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species are involved in MPTP-induced neurotoxicity. The present study examines the effect of edaravone (3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one), a radical scavenger, on MPTP-induced neurotoxicity...

Reaction of 1-(4-(dimethylamino)phenyl)-3,5-diphenylformazane with boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (5 equiv) in the presence triethylamine (3 toluene medium gave “boratetrazine”—2-(4-(dimethylamino)phenyl)-3,3-difluoro-4,6-diphenyl-3,4-dihydro -1,2,4,5,3-tetrazaborinin-2-ium-3-ide a 58% yield.

Three experiments were conducted to develop a sensitive and reliable fluorometric thiobarbituric acid (TBA) reactive substances (TBARS) method to determine lipid oxidation products in meat. The first study was conducted to find the optimum sample preparation conditions for meat in the fluorometric method. The second study was to compare the original and the modified methods by using meat and bl...

aprotic diazotization of anthranilic acid with isoamylnitrite or amylnitrite gave benzenediazonium-2- carboxylate. subsequent thermal decomposition of this diazonium salt (in situ) in 1,2-dichloroethane as a solvent at 85oc and in the presence of 2,5-diethyl-3,4-diphenylcyclopentadienonaes a trapping agent gave 1,4-diethyl-2, 3-diphenylnaphthalene in high yield, after loss of carbon monoxide. a...

Friedel-Crafts-type reaction of pyrene with diethyl 1-(isothiocyanato)alkylphosphonates promoted by trifluoromethanosulfonic acid afforded diethyl 1-(pyrene-1-carbothioamido)alkylphosphonates in 83-94% yield. These compounds were transformed, in 87-94% yield, into the corresponding diethyl 1-(pyrene-1-carboxamido)alkylphosphonates by treatment with Oxone(®). 1-(Pyrene-1-carboxamido)methylphosph...
