Identification of the novel (E)-N'-((2-chloro-7-methoxyquinolin-3-yl)methylene)-3-(phenylthio)propanehydrazide scaffold 18 has led to the development of a new series of biologically active hydrazide compounds. The parent compound 18 and new quinoline derivatives 19-26 were prepared from the corresponding quinoline hydrazones and substituted carboxylic acids using EDC-mediated peptide coupling r...

The title mol-ecule (alternative name: pyridine-3-carbohydrazide; C(6)H(7)N(3)O) was obtained from the reaction of ethyl nicotinate with hydrazine hydrate in methanol. In the amide group, the C-N bond is relatively short, suggesting some degree of electronic delocalization in the mol-ecule. The stabilized conformation may be compared with those of isomeric compounds picolinohydrazide (pyridine-...

A series of linear and macrocyclic peptides 3-12 were synthesized using 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (1) as starting material and screened for their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities. Bis-ester 3 was prepared from 1 and L-leucine methyl ester. Hydrazinolysis and hydrolysis of dipeptide methyl ester 3 with hydrazine hydrate or 1 N sodium hydroxide afforded compounds 4 a...

Eight new complexes of Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) with isonicotinic acid hydrazide (isoniazid, (INH)) and isonicotinic acid (1-naphthylmethylene)hydrazide (INNMH), having the formula of the type [M(INH)(ac)2] or [M(INNMH)(ac)2] (M = Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II)) and [Cu(INH)(ac)2]2, [Cu(INNMH)(ac)2]2, were synthesized and characterized. All complexes were characterized based on elemental an...

Molecular dynamics simulations of the biphalin molecule, (Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Phe-NH)(2), and the active tetrapeptide hydrazide, Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Phe-NH-NH(2) were performed to investigate the cause of the increased μ and δ receptor binding affinities of the former over the latter. The simulation results demonstrate that the acylation of the two equal tetrapeptide fragments of biphalin produces the cons...

A bidentate ligand derived from furan-2-aldehyde and nicotinic acid hydrazide was characterized through analytical and spectral studies. Mn(II), Co(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes of nicotinic acid furan-2-ylmethylene-hydrazide have been synthesized and characterized by molar conductance, elemental analysis, UV-Vis, IR, H NMR, C NMR and ESR studies. The above studies confirm the electrolytical...

Isonicotinic acid hydrazide (INH) is a frontline antituberculosis agent. Once taken up by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, INH requires activation by the catalase-peroxidase KatG, converting INH from its prodrug form into a range of bactericidal reactive species. Here we used 15N-labeled INH together with electron paramagnetic resonance spin trapping techniques to demonstrate that nitric oxide (NO*)...

Inhibitors of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) represent one of the novel pharmaceutical approaches for treating hypertension, vascular inflammation, pain and other cardiovascular related diseases. Most of the potent sEH inhibitors reported in literature often suffer from poor solubility and bioavailability. Toward improving pharmacokinetic profile beside favorable potency, two series of 4-benza...

In the title compound, [MoBr(2)(C(12)H(11)N(2))(C(12)H(10)N(2))(C(5)H(7)O(2))], the Mo(VI) atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral geometry by two N atoms from the diphenyl-hydrazide(1-) and diphenyl-hydrazide(2-) ligands, two O atoms from a bidentate acetyl-acetonate ligand and two Br(-) ions. The mol-ecules form an inversion dimer via a pair of weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and a π-π s...

In the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(16)H(16)N(4)O(3)·H(2)O, there are two symmetry-independent hydrazide mol-ecules with almost identical geometries, and two independent water mol-ecules. The dihedral angles between the two benzene rings in the two hydrazide mol-ecules are 0.11 (5) and 0.77 (5)°. In one mol-ecule, an intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond generates a ring of graph-set ...
