a new series of alkylthio imidazole analogues of captopril, an ace inhibitor used in the treatment of hypertension, was designed and synthesized in order to obtain agents more active than captopril with less side effects. all the compounds thus prepared were purified and characterized by ir, nmr and mass analytical instruments.

objective(s): although viral vectors are considered efficient gene transfer agents, their board application has been limited by toxicity, immunogenicity, mutagenicity and small gene carrying capacity. non-viral vectors are safe but they suffer from low transfection efficiency. in the present study, polyallylamine (paa) in two molecular weights (15 and 65 kda) was modified by alkane derivatives ...

abstract       background and objectives: antibiotic resistance in bacteria has actuated researchers toward evaluating many new antibacterial compounds of which are the thiazoles. in this research the inhibitory effects of novel thiazole derivatives were unraveled on staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus agalactiae, pseudomonas aeruginosa and klebsiella pneumoniae and oxothiazole liver toxicity ...

increased exposure to estrogen has been associated with the risk of breast cancer. substituted benzofuran derivatives with inhibitory effects on estrogen synthesis could be considered as a potential approach to reduce the risk of breast cancer. the study of cytotoxic effects of these compounds has suggested involvement of other mechanisms such as dna damage. in the current study we have investi...

natural clinoptilolite zeolite (clp) in its original or metal ion- exchanged form (ni2+) is a weak adsorbent for relatively large thiophene derivative molecules like benzothiophene (bt) and di-benzothiophene (dbt), due to its rather restricted micro-channel structure. a novelty of this work is that upon desilication treatments, it is possible to enhance the adsorption behavior of ni2+-exchanged...

animal agricultural production systems are major sources of nonpoint pollution affecting quality of water sources. nitrogen has been identified as the foremost source of nonpoint water pollution  and the potential negative impacts of n have become an area of public concern. protein degradation from feed ingredients is an important factorinfluencing aa supply to the duodenum. ruminal proteolysis...

the ionic liquid li(ohch2ch2nh2)(cf3oac) was found to efficiently catalyze the three-component reaction between different enols, aldehydes, and malononitrile , leading to rapid synthesis of 2-amino-4h-chromene derivatives in fairly high yields. the catalyst is easily prepared, highly stable, simple to handle and recycled for several times without significant loss of activity. the method is simp...

In this paper we will prove certain Hadamard and Fejer-Hadamard inequalities for the functions whose nth derivatives are convex by using Caputo k-fractional derivatives. These results have some relationship with inequalities for Caputo fractional derivatives.

apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is an essential physiological process that plays a critical role in development and tissue homeostasis. caspases, a family of cysteine-dependent aspartate-directed proteases, play a critical role in the initiation and execution of apoptosis. in this study, cytotoxicity and apoptogenic effect of 2-phenyl 4-carboxamide derivatives were evaluated in sknmc (huma...
