We have recently reported’ the inhibition of xanthopterin oxidase and xanthine oxidase by synthetic pteroylglutamic acid (PGA). However, since an exceptionally pure sample2 of PGA, which was later examined, possessed less than one-sixth of the inhibitory power previously observed, it appears possible that the effect is due to traces of a contaminant. The observation by Lowry and Bessey3 that 2-...

Alkoxyamines react with the open-chain aldehyde form of AP-sites in DNA to produce open-chain aldehyde oximes. Here we characterize the effect of AP-site cleavage by yeast AP-endonuclease 1 (APN1) or T4 pyrimidine dimer DNA glycosylase/AP-lyase (T4 Pdg) on the efficiency and stability of the alkoxyamine aldehyde reactive probe (ARP) condensation reaction with AP-sites. The results indicate that...

The phonon modes of crystalline benzoic acid have been investigated using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy, rigid molecule atom-atom model potential and plane-wave density functional theory lattice dynamics calculations. The simulation results show good agreement with the measured terahertz spectra and an assignment of the terahertz absorption features of benzoic acid is made with the help of...

In the cation of the title co-crystal salt {systematic name: [2-hydroxy-2-(3-meth-oxy-phen-yl)cyclo-hexyl-meth-yl]dimethyl-aza-nium chloride-benzoic acid (1/1)}, C(16)H(31)NO(2) (+)·Cl(-)·C(7)H(6)O(2), the N atom is protonated and the six-membered cyclo-hexane ring adopts a slightly distorted chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzene rings in the cation and t...

A 4-aza-1-azoniabicyclo-[2.2.2]octane cation, a 2-amino-benzoate anion and a neutral 2-amino-benzoic acid mol-ecule comprise the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(6)H(13)N(2) (+)·C(7)H(6)NO(2) (-)·C(7)H(7)NO(2). An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs in the anion and in the neutral 2-amino-benzoic acid mol-ecule. The cation provides a charge-assisted N-H⋯O hydrogen bond to the ani...

Benzoic acid has been reported to inhibit the oxidation of succinic acid by muscle (l), the oxidation of butyric acid and crotonic acid by liver slices (2), and the oxidation of acetoacetic acid by kidney slices (3). It has also been reported to inhibit the oxygen uptake of liver and kidney slices, diaphragm, minced liver, kidney, and brain (4). In the present work it was found that benzoic aci...

The distribution of formic, benzoic and 4-methylbenzoic acids between a 0.1 mol dm(-3) (Na+, H+)ClO4- solution and octanol and carbon tetrachloride was studied at five different temperatures of 10 - 30 degrees C. The thermodynamic parameters for the transfer process of monomeric acid between two phases and for the dimerization of monomeric acid in carbon tetrachloride (deltaH and deltaS) were e...

The title compound, C(7)H(4)N(2)O(6)·C(12)H(12)N(2)O(2)S, is a 1:1 cocrystal of the drug dapsone with 3,5-dinitro-benzoic acid. The dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings of the dapsone mol-ecule is 75.4 (2)°, and the dihedral angles between these rings and that of the 3,5-dinitro-benzoic acid are 64.5 (2) and 68.4 (2)°. A strong inter-molecular carb-oxy-lic acid O-H⋯N(amine) hydrogen bo...

An efficient and odourless procedure for a one-pot synthesis of thioesters by the reaction of benzoic anhydrides, thiourea and various organic halides (primary, allylic, and benzylic) or structurally diverse, electron-deficient alkenes (ketones, esters, and nitriles) in the presence of Et3N has been developed. In this method, thiobenzoic acids were in situ generated from the reaction of thioure...
