Abstract Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and coxibs are traditional medicines for the treatment of inflammation, yet associated with serious side effects. Hence, need discovering novel compounds valuable clinical benefits is great importance. In this study, 18 derivatives p-nitrophenyl hydrazones were docked against COX-2, 5-LOX, H+/K+ ATPase, followed by predicting their drug-lik...

Small-molecule mixed-lineage kinase (MLK) inhibitors, such as CEP-1347 [3,9-bis[(ethylthio)methyl]-(8R*,9S*,11S*)-(-)-9-hydroxy-9-methoxycarbonyl-8-methyl-2,3,9,10-tetrahydro-8,11-epoxy-1H,8H, 11H-2,7b,11a-triazadibenzo(a,g)cycloocta(cde)trinden-1-one] and CEP-11004 [3,9-bis-[(isopropylthio)methyl]-(8R*,9S*,11S*)-(-)-9-hydroxy-9-methoxycarbonyl-8-methyl-2,3,9,10-tetrahydro-8,11-epoxy-1H,8H,11H-...

BACKGROUND Biotransformation of organic compounds by using microbial whole cells provides an efficient approach to obtain novel analogues which are often difficult to synthesize chemically. In this manuscript, we report for the first time the microbial transformation of a synthetic anabolic steroidal drug, oxymetholone, by fungal cell cultures. RESULTS Incubation of oxymetholone (1) with Macr...

The crystal and molecular structures of three new thiosemicarbazones, 2-[1-(2-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)ethylidene]-N-methyl-hydrazinecarbothioamide monohydrate (1), 2-[1-(2-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)ethylidene]-N-ethyl-hydrazinecarbothioamide (2) and 2-[1-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)ethylidene]-N-ethyl-hydrazinecarbothioamide acetonitrile solvate (3), are reported and confirmed by single crystal X-...

Earlier studies [1, 2] have demonstrated that a number of isoflavonoid (pterocarpan) phytoalexins [3] accumulate in excised, fungus-inoculated leaflets of species belonging to the genus Lathyrus (Leguminosae-Papilionoideae; tribe Vicieae). Apart from pisatin (3-methoxy-6a-hydroxy-8,9-methylenedioxypterocarpan, 1), the most commonly en­ countered Lathyrus phytoalexin, small quantities of three o...

The chemical composition of the Caribbean sponge Pandaros acanthifolium was investigated and led to the isolation of seven new steroidal glycosides namely pandarosides A-D (1, 3, 4 and 6) along with the three methyl esters of pandarosides A, C, and D (2, 5 and 7). Their structures were characterized as 3beta-[beta-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-glucopyranosyloxyuronic acid]-16-hydroxy-5alpha,14bet...

The primary processing method of coffee plays a crucial role in determining its flavor profile. In this study, roasted beans were subjected to three methods, i.e., natural (SC), washed (WC), and honey (MC), that analyzed by LC-MS/MS GC-MS metabolomics. Additionally, sensory evaluation was conducted the Specialty Coffee Association America (SCAA) assess characteristics. results showed 2642 non-v...

A new ursane-type nortriterpenoid, (11S,12S)-4-methyl-11,12-epoxy-2-hydroxy-3-oxoursa-1,4-dine-28-oic acid γ-lactone (1), named ulmoidol A, together with ten known compounds: ulmoidol (2), corosolic acid (3), 2α,3α-dihydroxy-24-nor-4(23),12-oleanadien-28-oic acid (4), oleanolic acid (5), ursolic acid (6), cycloart-3β, 25-diol (7), foliasalacioside B1 (8), (6R,7E,9R)-9-hydrox...
