The title compounds, variously protected 5'-uridine derivatives connected with 1-thiosugar with thio-phosphoesters fragment (17-22) were synthesized in sequence of reactions: phosphitylation--reaction of 5'-hydroxyl group of selectively protected nucleoside with a phosphitylating agent (N,N-diisopropyl chlorophosphoamidite), connection an phosphoroamidites with 2-bromoethanol or 3-bromopropanol...

The pharmacokinetics of disodium sebacate (Sb) was studied in Wistar rats of both sexes. Sebacate was administered either as intra-peritoneal (i.p.) bolus (six doses ranging from 10 mg to 320 mg) or as oral bolus (two doses: 80 and 160 mg). Plasma and urinary concentrations of Sb and urinary concentrations of Sb and its products of beta-oxidation (suberic and adipic acids) were measured by an i...

In the title compound, C(25)H(30)N(2)O(6), the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 3.79 (1) Å and the N=N bond shows a trans conformation. Both butyl side chains show evidence of disorder.

Configuration transitions of individual molecules and atoms on surfaces are traditionally described using an Arrhenius equation with energy barrier and pre-exponential factor (attempt rate) parameters. Characteristic parameters can vary even for identical systems, and pre-exponential factors sometimes differ by orders of magnitude. Using low-temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) to m...

A general strategy to tune the achiral main chain polymers into helical nanoassemblies was proposed based on the co-gelation approach. As an example, two achiral main chain polymers, PCz8 and PSi8, were selected, and their co-assembly with an amphiphilic l- or d-glutamide gelator was investigated. Although the polymers could not form gels individually, they could form co-gels with the gelator a...

A new direct method for the measurement of red cell lithium was compared with the indirect method. Good correlation (r = 0.97) was found and the coefficients of variation of the direct and indirect methods were 3.9% and 5.5%, respectively. In the direct method red cells suspended in choline chloride were centrifuged through dibutyl phthalate, which removes plasma adherent to the cells. A haemol...
