1-alkyl aryl-5-amino-4-(cyanoformimidoyl)imidazoles 4 were reacted with malononitrile and 2-amino-1,1,3-propenetricarbonitrile under mild experimental conditions, which led to 5-amino-3-(substituted benzyl)-6,7-dicyano-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines 5 and 6,8-diamino-3-(4-substituted benzyl)-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]-1,8-naphthyridine-7,9-dicarbonitrile 6, respectively, when the reaction was carried out in...

To determine the relative contributions of tobacco smoking and P-450 metabolism (cytochrome P-450iAi) in the formation of benzo(a)pyrenediol-epoxide and other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-DNA adducts in vivo, 16 human placentas were assayed for aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity and (±)r-7,f-8-dihydroxy-c-9,10-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo(a)pyrene-DNA adduci levels. Immunoaffinity chro...

A synthetic polymer, polyethyleneimine containing dodecyl (C(12)H(25))-chains for binding sites and imidazole moieties for functional catalytic groups, catalyzes the hydrolysis of phenolic sulfate esters by a two-step mechanism resembling that of the corresponding natural enzyme. Quantitative rate studies give kinetic parameters that show that the polymer (synzyme) accelerates the rate 10(12)-f...

Poly(4-vinylpyridine)-supported copper iodide nanoparticles is reported as a new, green and recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of aryl-14H-dibenzo [a-o] xanthenes under solvent-free conditions. This catalyst can be recovered by simple filtration and recycled up to 8 consecutive runs without any loss of their efficiency.

To determine the relative contributions of tobacco smoking and P-450 metabolism (cytochrome P-450IAI) in the formation of benzo(a)pyrenediol-epoxide and other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-DNA adducts in vivo, 16 human placentas were assayed for aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity and (+/-)r-7,t-8-dihydroxy-c-9,10-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo(a)pyrene-DN A adduct levels. Immunoaffinity ch...

6-Methyl-2-phenyl-7H-Oxazolo [3,2-b] [1,2,4] triazine (1) undersent ting transformation on treatment with ammonia and primary amines to afford the corresponding imidazol [1,2-b][1,2,4] triazine (2). Treatment of (1) with hydrazine hydrate gave the corresponding 3-aryl-4H-1,2,4- triazino [4,3-b][1,2,4] triazin-8 (1H)-one (3).
