The title compounds, C27H20O6, (I) [systematic name: methyl 7-oxo-14-phenyl-1H,7H,14H-pyrano[3,2-c:5,4-c']dichromene-14a(6bH)-carboxyl-ate], C24H22O5, (II) [systematic name: methyl 1-oxo-6-phenyl-2,3,4,12b-tetra-hydro-1H,6H-chromeno[3,4-c]chromene-6a(7H)-carboxyl-ate], and C25H23N3O4, (III) [systematic name: 6-(4-ethyl-phen-yl)-2,4-dimethyl-1,3-dioxo-2,3,4,12b-tetra-hydro-1H,6H-chromeno[4',3':4...

Lasing action in an electrically pumped organic laser device is demonstrated with a high quality factor (Q) microcavity structure formed by two high-reflective and low-loss electrical contacts. A 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-i-propyl-6-(1,1,7,7-tetramethyljulolidyl-9-enyl)-4H-pyran-doped tris(8-hydroxy-quinoline)aluminum (Alq(3)) film serves as the active layer. A single longitudinal lasing cavity mo...

The binding of three closely related chelators: 5-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-thione (allothiomaltol, ATM), 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-thione (thiomaltol, TM), and 3-hydroxy-4H-pyran-4-thione (thiopyromeconic acid, TPMA) to the active site of human carbonic anhydrase II (hCAII) has been investigated. Two of these ligands display a monodentate mode of coordination to the active site Zn(2+) io...

Pyrans are co-polymers of divinyl ether and maleic anhydride. Four pyrans of various molecular weights more potently inhibited terminal deoxyribonucleotidyltransferase (EC 2.7.7.31) from a human cell line of acute lymphoblastic leukemia origin (Molt-4) than they did DNA polymerases alpha, beta and gamma from these cells and DNA polymerase from simian sarcoma virus. For example, the concentratio...

Introduction The number of natural and synthetic 2H-pyran-2-one derivatives has been reported to exert notably the potential biological activity [1] and medicinal application such as: anticancer activity [2] hepatoprotective activity [3]. On the other hand, catechol derivatives are promising group of compounds worthwhile for further investigation, which may lead to the discovery of selective ac...

BACKGROUND Indolinone and spiro-indoline derivatives have been employed in the preparation of different important therapeutic compounds required for treatment of anticonvulsants, antibacterial, Antitubercular, and anticancer activities. Schiff bases have been found to possess various pharmacological activities such as antitubercular, plant growth inhibiting, insecticsidal, central nerve system ...

Treatment of normal BALB/c mice i.p. with a number of adjuvants, including pyran copolymer, the copolymer of polyinosinic and polycytidylic acids, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin, glucan, and dextran sulfate, rendered macrophages nonspecifically cytostatic for syngeneic tumor cells. Macrophage activation was highly dose dependent. The validity of the inhibition of DNA synthesis assay for measuring mac...

The title compound, C16H15N3O6, is asymmetric with a chiral centre located in the pyran ring and crystallizes as a racemate. The six-membered carbocyclic ring adopts an envelope conformation with the central CH2 C atom as the flap. The amine N atom deviates from the mean plane of the pyran ring by 0.1365 (15) Å. The nitro-phenyl ring is almost orthogonal to the pyran ring and the mean plane of ...

In the title compound, C(17)H(11)BrN(2)O(2), the five-membered isoxazole ring has an envelope conformation with the C atom bearing the phenyl ring as the flap. The pyran ring has a half-chair conformation. In the chromeno ring system, the dihedral angle between the mean plane of the pyran ring and the benzene ring is 4.68 (2)°. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the chromeno ring sys...

In the title compound, C(14)H(11)ClN(2)O(2), two independent mol-ecules (A and B) comprise the asymmetric unit with the main difference between them being the relative orientation of the pendent phenyl ring with respect to the fused-ring system [dihedral angles = 8.32 (8)° (A) and 28.32 (8)° (B)]. In the crystal, the A mol-ecules are connected into a linear supra-molecular chain along the a axi...
