The [3 + 2] annulation reaction of C,C,N-trisubstituted ketenimines with donor-acceptor cyclopropanes bearing aryl, styryl and vinyl substituents at the C2 position, triggered by the Lewis acid Sc(OTf)3, supplies highly substituted pyrrolidines. Activated cyclopropanes fused to naphthalene and [1]benzopyrane nuclei are also suitable substrates in similar transformations, yielding partially satu...

The title compound, C(15)H(17)O(6)P, was obtained from a reaction of 4-methyl-7-hy-droxy-coumarin and 2-chloro-5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinane 2-oxide. There are two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit in which the benzopyran ring system is almost planar [r.m.s. deviation for each molecule = 0.003 Å]. In the crystal, C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking inter-actions [with centroid-centroid ...

Name: 9-Methoxy-7Hfuro[3,2-g][1]benzopyran-7-one IUPAC Systematic Name: 9-Methoxyfuro[3,2-g]chromen-7-one Synonyms: 5-Benzofuranacrylic acid, 6-hydroxy-7-methoxy-, δ-lactone; Meladinine; 8-methoxy-6,7-furanocoumarin; 8-methoxypsoralen; 8-methoxy[furano3′,2′:6,7-coumarin]; 8-MOP; 8-MP; Oxsoralen; Puvasoralen; Uvadex Description: Silky needles or...

Octa acid (OA), a calixarene-based cavitand, forms a 1:2 capsular assembly with neutral 1,3,3-trimethyl-6'-nitrospiro[2H-1]benzopyran-2,2'-indoline and 1:1 cavitandplex with its open zwitterionic merocyanine form. Photochromic interconversion between the spiropyran and merocyanine leads to unprecedented reversible capsular disassembly and assembly. OA provides stability to the merocyanine in bo...

5,7-dihydroxy-3-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl]-2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one (quercetin 3-sophorotrioside), a flavonol triglycoside, isolated from Pisum sativum shoots and showing protective effects on liver injury induced by chemicals, was synthesized for the first time. The target compound was successfully synthesized in eig...

A recent study documented a role of adenosine A(3)-Akt-cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) survival signaling in resveratrol preconditioning of the heart. In this study, we demonstrate that resveratrol-mediated CREB activation can also occur through an Akt-independent pathway. Isolated rat hearts were perfused for 15 min with Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate (KHB) buffer containing resverat...

Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a serine/threonine kinase, regulates cell growth and proliferation in part via the activation of p70 S6 kinase (S6K). Rapamycin is an antineo-plastic agent that, in complex with FKBP12, is a specific inhibitor of mTOR through interaction with its FKBP12-rapamycin binding domain, thereby causing G(1) cell cycle arrest. However, cancer cells often develop res...

Blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity is compromised in many central nervous system disorders. Complex astrocyte and vascular endothelial cell interactions that regulate BBB integrity may be disturbed in these disorders. We previously showed that systemic administration of 3-chloropropanediol [(S)-(+)-3-chloro-1,2-propanediol] induces a transitory glial fibrillary acidic protein-astrocyte loss, r...
