starting from readily available 2-substituted-4-methylthiazole-5-carboxylic acid hydrazide (1), the title compounds were prepared. the reaction of compound 1 (r=ch3) with formic acid yielded 1-(formyl)-2-(2,4-dimethylthiazole-5-carboxyl) hydrazine (2). refluxing the latter with phosphorous pentasulfide in xylene afforded compound 3, the reaction of compound 2 with phosphorous pentoxide afforded...

In this study, we aimed to evaluate the performance of different phenotypic tests to detect carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. Three different phenotypic methods were evaluated: (1) combined-disk test of meropenem plus phenylboronic acid or EDTA reading after 24h and 48h; (2) selective/chromogenic read after 24h and after 48h; and (3) overnight selective enrichment broth containing 10μg e...

In this contribution, we designed a 4,6-distyrylpyrimidine chromophore with diphenylamino electron-donating groups and biphenylenevinylene extended π-conjugated linkers. This compound has been synthesized in two steps from 4,6-dimethyl-2-phenylpyrimidine by double Knoevenagel reaction 4-bromobenzaldehyde followed Suzuki–Miyaura cross coupling 4-(N,N-diphenylamino)phenylboronic acid. exhibits in...

We proposed and demonstrated a novel tilted fiber Bragg grating (TFBG)-based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) label-free biosensor via a special boronic acid derivative to detect glycoprotein with high sensitivity and selectivity. TFBG, as an effective sensing element for optical sensing in near-infrared wavelengths, possess the unique capability of easily exciting the SPR effect on fiber surfac...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was the rapid identification of bla KPC gene in 38 Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates with reduced susceptibility to carbapenems. The modified Hodge Test (MHT) was carried out to phenotypically determine whether resistance to carbapenems was mediated by a carbapenemase. The detection of the bla KPC gene was performed by real-time acid nucleic sequence-based...

BC-11 is an easily synthesized simple thiouronium-substituted phenylboronic acid, which has been shown to be cytotoxic on triple negative MDA-MB231 breast cancer cells by inducing a perturbation of cell cycle when administered at a concentration equal to its ED50 at 72 h (117 μM). Exposure of cells to BC-11, either pre-absorbed with a soluble preparation of the N-terminal fragment of urokinase-...

In article number 2009442, Ang Li, Yilong Cheng, and co-workers develop a facile dressing strategy via one-pot radical copolymerization of acrylamide the complex formed through boronate ester bond by 3-acrylamido phenylboronic acid green tea derivative epigallocatechin-3-gallate. The resulting hydrogels exhibit good mechanical strength, adequate tissue adhesiveness, fast self-healing capability...

BACKGROUND We recently described a holographic optical sensor with improved selectivity for glucose over fructose that was based on a thin-film polymer hydrogel containing phenylboronic acid receptors. The aim of the present work was to measure glucose in human blood plasma as opposed to simple buffers and track changes in concentration at a rate mimicking glucose changes in vivo. METHODS We ...
