1. The fate of (+)-[U-(14)C]catechin and (+)-[ring A-(14)C]catechin has been studied in the guinea pig and rat. 2. (+)-[U-(14)C]Catechin was shown to give rise to labelled phenolic acids, labelled phenyl-gamma-valerolactones and (14)CO(2). 3. (+)-[ring A-(14)C]-Catechin did not give rise to labelled phenolic acids, but labelled phenyl-gamma-valerolactones were detected together with a higher pr...

In the title compound, C(24)H(25)NO(7)S, the sulfonyl-bound phenyl ring is approximately perpendicular to the indole ring system [dihedral angle = 87.72 (5)°]. The methyl group of one of the ester units is disordered over two positions with occupancies of 0.527 (13) and 0.473 (13). An intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond is observed. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked into a ribbon ...

A practical method for the multigram scale selective cis-dihydroxylation of electron deficient alkenes such as diethyl fumarate and N-alkyl and N-aryl-maleimides using H(2)O(2) is described. High turnovers (>1000) can be achieved with this efficient manganese based catalyst system, prepared in situ from a manganese salt, pyridine-2-carboxylic acid, a ketone and a base, under ambient conditions....

Objective: To make better understanding of the neem seed composition (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.) particularly in Senegal by extraction, proportioning and determination its essential oil. Methods: The extraction oil from seeds is carried out hydro-distillation. Gas Chromatography (GC) Mass Spectrometry (MS) were used for analysis identification components. Findings: yield dry (95.7% matter) 0....

The synthesis of the racemic a-glycerophosphoric acid (1) and of the I( -)-cr-glycerophosphoric acid (2) has been reported. The Z( -)-CL-glycerophosphoric acid has been isolated from various natural sources, such as phosphatides, and as an intermediate product of fermentation or glycolysis. For this reason, in a previous paper we called the I( -)-cr-glycerophosphoric acid the “biological” acid....

The title compound, C(29)H(35)N(3), is the product of the condensation reaction between 2,6-diacetyl-pyridine and 2,6-diethyl-aniline. In the mol-ecule, the pyridyl ring is coplanar with the imino functional groups [torsion angles in the range 177.1 (2)-179.9 (2)°. The two 2,6-diethyl-substituted benzene rings are approximately perpendicular to the ethyl-idenepyridine central core, the dihedral...

Experimental resu!ts reported in the literature suggest that tumour cells are under oxidative stress, both as a consequence of their altered biochemistry and of the tumour environment. Unfortunately, tumour cells are able to resist this oxidative stress. The cause for their exceptional resistance may be a low content of unsaturated fatty acids or a high level of antioxidants in the cell membran...

A set of novel series of 1,3,4-thiadiazolyl-sulfanyl-4,5-dihydropyridazin-3(2H)-ones with anticipated antimicrobial activity has been synthesized. The synthetic protocol of the targeted compounds was accomplished by treating β-aroylacrylic acid 1 with 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol (2) to afford the thia-Michael adduct 3. Afterwards, the obtained thia-Michael adduct 3 was cyclized to 4,5-dih...

In the title mol-ecule, C(22)H(21)N(3), the isoquinoline ring is almost planar [maximum deviation = 0.046 (1) Å] and makes dihedral angles of 52.01 (4) and 14.61 (4)° with the pyrazole and phenyl rings, respectively. The phenyl ring and the pyrazole ring are twisted by 44.20 (6)° with respect to each other. The terminal C atoms of both of the ethyl groups attached to the pyrazole ring are disor...

Malondialdehyde (MDA) is used for the estimation of damage by reactive oxygen species. MDA is a major reactive aldehyde resulting from the peroxidation of biological membranes. The most common method used to assess MDA production is the thiobarbituric acid (TBARS) assay. However, the value of this method is curbed by low specificity and has been criticized for its use in human studies. In the p...
