In the search for new fluorescent triphenylamine (TP) derivatives, we studied influence of position and substitution diverse heterocyclic substituents. A library 10 triphenylamines bearing either oxazoles or thiazoles pyridiniums, substituted at different positions has been developed. The approach is based on a convergent C−H activation reaction between pyridine-oxazoles pyridine-thiazoles di-i...

1. Titration of haem with pyridine in alkaline media of low ionic strength yields a true pyridine haemochromogen, compound III, at very low concentrations of pyridine. 2. Graphical analysis of this titration gives the first spectrophotometric evidence for a dimeric haem. 3. Compound III is unstable and tends to aggregate to a second compound, compound II, whose formation is enhanced under those...

In the present study, a series of 2-(3'-substituted-2'-hydroxypropylamino)pyridines were synthesized and characterized by IR, 1H-NMR and elemental analysis. The compounds were investigated for anticonvulsant (150, 300 mg/kg) and cardiac activity. 2-(3'-Diethylamino-2'-hydroxypropylamino)pyridine 3 was found to exhibit the highest anticonvulsant activity. 2-(3'-Dimethylamino-2'-hydroxypropylamin...

Pyridine containing water clusters, H(+)(pyridine)(m)(H(2)O)(n), have been studied both experimentally by a quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer and by quantum chemical calculations. In the experiments, H(+)(pyridine)(m)(H(2)O)(n) with m = 1-4 and n = 0-80 are observed. For the cluster distributions observed, there are no magic numbers, neither in the abundance spectra, nor in the evapor...

The interaction of a variety of pyridoxal analogues with glutamate decarboxylase and aspartate aminotransferase has been studied. Pyridoxal phosphate N-oxide, N-methylpyridoxal phosphate, 3-0-methylpyridoxal phosphate, 4-de(formyl)-4-vinyl pyridoxal phosphate, and pyridoxal analogues which contain modified substituents in position 5 (CH2CHrOPOsHL, CH(CHB)OPOIH2, CHVPOBHL, and CHICH,COOH) are bo...

Dacarbazine is an antitumor prodrug which is used for the treatment of malignant metastatic melanoma and Hodgkin’s disease. It requires initial activation in liver through an N-demethylationreaction. The active metabolite prevents the progress of disease via alkylation of guanine bases in DNA strands. In order to investigate the importance of imidazole ring and its dynamictautomerization in ant...

The reaction of Ap(9Me)Lu(CH2SiMe3)2(thf) (Ap(9Me) = (2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)[6-(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)pyridine-2-yl]amido ligand) with two molar equivalents of PhSiH3 affords a trinuclear alkyl-hydrido cluster [(Ap(9Me)Lu)3(μ(2)-H)3(μ(3)-H)2(CH2SiMe3)(thf)2]. The analogous reactions with Ap(9Me)Ln(CH2SiMe3)2(thf) (Ln = Y, Yb) are more complex and result in the formation of mixtures of two ty...
