In this research, magnetic animal bone meal nanoparticles functionalized with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Fe3O4@ABM-EDTA) is reported as a green recyclable catalyst that catalyzed synthesis of biscoumarin derivatives in water. The catalyst was characterized by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermogra...

RNAi and enzymatic studies have shown the importance of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGDH) in Trypanosoma brucei for the parasite survival and make it an attractive drug target for the development of new treatments against human African trypanosomiasis. 2,3-O-Isopropylidene-4-erythrono hydroxamate is a potent inhibitor of parasite Trypanosoma brucei 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PG...

Treatment of 3- or 4-nitrophthalonitrile with 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-alpha-d-glucofuranose or 1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-alpha-d-galactopyranose in the presence of K(2)CO(3) gave the corresponding glycosubstituted phthalonitriles. These precursors underwent self-cyclisation, or mixed-cyclisation with the unsubstituted phthalonitrile, to afford the tetra- or mono-glycosylated zinc(ii) phth...
