Three classes of diamine linked ferrocene (Fc)-conjugates were prepared and their properties were investigates in solution and the solid state: (a) acyclic diamine-linked 1,n'-Fc conjugates, (b) acyclic diamine-linked 1,n'-Fc peptide conjugates, and (c) cyclic 1,n'-Fc-peptide diamine conjugates. In all cases, the synthetic procedure started from 1,1'-ferrocenecarboxylic acid methyl ester or 1,1...

in plants, γ-aminobutyric acid (gaba) is synthesized by polyamine degradation pathway besides gaba shunt. aminoguanidine (ag) is a specific inhibitor of the key enzyme (diamine oxidase, dao) for gaba formation in polyamine degradation pathway. in this study, ag was applied to study the functions of polyamine degradation pathway on growth and gaba accumulation in germinating fava bean under hypo...

A one-pot synthesis procedure is designed for preparing three ?-aminophosphonates (R-H, R-COOH, and R-NH2); through the reaction of amine precursors (aniline, anthranilic or o-phenylene diamine, respectively) with salicylaldehyde triphenylphosphite, under controlled conditions. These materials are first characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, 1H NMR, 31P BET, DLS, pHzpc, TGA titration. In a ...

Diamine oxidase was previously measured in human pregnancy serum with putrescine or histamine as substrate. We have now documented the presence of spermidine oxidase activity in pregnancy serum by means of a specific radioactive assay with l '4Clspermidine as substrate and Dowex 50 cation-exchange chromatography to separate products from substrate. The apparent Km of a partially purified prepar...

Six alkali metal tris(HMDS) magnesiate complexes (HMDS, 1,1,1,3,3,3,-hexamethyldisilazide) containing chiral diamine ligands have been prepared and characterised in both the solid- and solution-state. Four of the complexes have a solvent-separated ion pair composition of the form [{M·(chiral diamine)(2)}(+){Mg(HMDS)(3)}(-)] [M = Li for 1 and 3, Na for 2 and 4; chiral diamine = (-)-sparteine for...

In order to develop platinum complexes with selective activity in primary and secondary bone malignancies and with the aim to optimize antitumor activity, platinum(II) complexes with aminotris(methylenephosphonic acid) as bone-seeking (osteotropic) ligand have been synthesized, characterized and tested in the cisplatin-sensitive ovarian carcinoma cell line CH1. As non-leaving diamine ligands, w...

A new parameter, related to and easily determined from the structure of a benzenoid system and that of a phenylene – the number of inlets (r) – is introduced. The connectivity (Randi}) index of both benzenoid systems and phenylenes is then shown to depend solely on the number of vertices and on r. A simple relation is established between the connectivity index of a phenylene and of the correspo...

A theoretical study at the B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) level was performed on the tatumerization of 7H-purine-2, 6-diamine into 9H-purine-2, 6-diamine. Such a tautomerism can take place via three different pathways namely A, B, and C. The energetic results associated with the gas phase reveal that pathways A, B, and C display a very high activation Gibbs free energy of 45.1, 68.6 and 48.9 kcal/mol, resp...
