Ten imidazole derivatives were tested for mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100 both in the absence and presence of metabolic activation by the microsomal fraction S9 mix. In a general manner, derivatives tested exhibited a greater mutagenic activity in the TA100 strain comparing to the responses in TA 98. In the standard plate incorporation assay, 8 of these substances ...

The low frequency resonance Raman spectra of the dioxygen adducts of myoglobin, hemoglobin, its isolated subunits, mesoheme-substituted hemoglobin, and several deuteriated heme derivatives are reported. The observed oxygen isotopic shifts are used to assign the iron-oxygen stretching (approximately 570 cm-1) and the heretofore unobserved delta (Fe-O-O) bending (approximately 420 cm-1) modes. Al...

The heme coordination of ovine prostaglandin H synthase (PGHS) has been characterized by EPR, magnetic circular dichroism, resonance Raman, and optical spectroscopies. The EPR spectrum of ferric PGHS is consistent with an equilibrium mixture of high-spin and low-spin heme species. Both species disappear on reaction of the synthase with hydroperoxides. The high-spin to low-spin interconversion i...

A novel series of carbamothioylamino-benzene-sulfonamide-thiophene-carboxylates 4a-c and thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-2-yl-amino-benzene-sulfonamides 5a-c were synthesized in a series of synthetic steps and were used as key intermediates for the synthesis of thienotriazolopyrimidine-benzene-sulfonamide derivatives 6a-c and 7a-c. Thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidinones (8 and 9) were also prepared. Compound 9 was ...

In recent years, the use of antifungal drugs in human medicine has increased, especially with the advent of AIDS epidemic. Efforts have focused on the development of new, less toxic and more efficacious antifungal drugs with novel mechanism of action. The purpose of this study was to synthesize of some new benzimidazole, benzotriazole and aminothiazole derivatives and to evaluate their activity...

The density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the level of B3LYP/6-31G was carried out on the structure 4(5)-Imidazole-carbaldehyde-N(5)-phenylthiosemicarbazone (ImTPh) in gas phase using Gaussian 03. Dipole moment (Debye), energy of structure formation (HF; kcal/mol) and point group, NMR parameters such as isotropic shielding (σiso) and anisotropic shielding (σaniso), σ11, σ22 and σ33 ob...
