Investigation of the aerial parts of the Egyptian medicinal plant Ammi majus L. led to isolation of new coumarin, 6-hydroxy-7-methoxy-4 methyl coumarin (2) and 6-hydroxy-7-methoxy coumarin (3); this is the first time they have been isolated from this plant. The structures of the compounds (2 &3) were elucidated by spectroscopic data interpretation and showed anti-inflammatory and anti-viral act...

Complexes of Mn(II) with 1,8-naphthyride containing amide group ligands 2-amino1-8,naphthyride-3-carboxamide (ANC), 2-amino-N-phenyl-1,8-naphthyride-3-carboxamide (APNC), 2-amino-N-(p-methyl phenyl)-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxamide(AMPNC), 2-amino-N-)p-bromo phenyl)1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxamide(ABPNC), 2-amino-N-(p-chloro phenyl)-1,8-naphthyridine3-carboxamide (ACPNC), 2-amino-N-(p-methoxy phe...

Overexpression of mutant p53 in cancer cell inactivates the pathways to execute apoptosis and cycle arrest. This study aimed synthesize new kardiena derivative compound, 3-carbethoxy-4(3’-chloro-4’-hydroxy)phenyl-but-3-en-2-one, reactivate Characterization synthetic compound employing melting point, IR, EI-MS, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR spectra revealed 3-carbethoxy-4(3’-chloro-4’-hydroxy)phenyl-but-3-en-...

The crystal and molecular structures of three new thiosemicarbazones, 2-[1-(2-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)ethylidene]-N-methyl-hydrazinecarbothioamide monohydrate (1), 2-[1-(2-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)ethylidene]-N-ethyl-hydrazinecarbothioamide (2) and 2-[1-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)ethylidene]-N-ethyl-hydrazinecarbothioamide acetonitrile solvate (3), are reported and confirmed by single crystal X-...

We present a theoretical investigation of electronic and optical properties of free-base porphyrins based on density functional theory and many-body perturbation theory. The electronic levels of free-base porphine (H(2)P) and its phenyl derivative, free-base tetraphenylporphyrin (H(2)TPP) are calculated using the ab initio GW approximation for the self-energy. The approach is found to yield res...

Seven naphthoquinones and nine anthraquinones were isolated from the roots of Aloe dawei by chromatographic separation. The purified metabolites were identified by NMR and MS analyses. Out of the sixteen quinones, 6-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxy-2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone is a new compound. Two of the isolates, 5,8-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-2-methylnaphthalene-1,4-dione and 1-hydroxy-8-methoxy-3-methylanthr...

Recently, we identified 2-styrylchromones as a new class of antirhinovirus flavonoids with moderate activity against both rhinovirus groups A and B. In order to improve the antiviral effect of the first series of tested 2-styrylchromones, a hydroxy or methoxy group was introduced in position 3 of the chromone ring. Cytotoxicity and antiviral activity of the new synthesized compounds were evalua...

Two new stilbenoids, 9-(4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxyphenyl)-10-(hydroxymethyl)-11-methoxy-5,6,9,10-tetrahydrophenanthro[2,3-b]furan-3-ol and 2-(4''-hydroxybenzyl)-3-(3'-hydroxyphenethyl)-5-methoxy-cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione, together with the three known stilbenoids were isolated from the tubers of Pleione bulbocodioides (Franch.) Rolfe. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods.

Esters of 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-6-n-pentylbenzoic acid (2-8) (methyl, ethyl, butyl, pentyl, isopropyl, sec-butyl and benzyl), olivetol (9), methyl, ethyl, butyl perlatolates (10-12), 2,4-dihydroxy-6-n-pentylbenzoic acid (15), and methyl and ethyl esters of (15) were prepared through structural modifications of perlatolic acid (1) with the aim to detect new antifungal and antibacterial substances ...
