The search for novel anticancer therapeutics with the ability to overcome multi-drug resistance (MDR) mechanisms is of high priority. A class of molecules that show potential in overcoming MDR are the N-alkylated isatins. In particular 5,7-dibromo-N-alkylisatins are potent microtubule destabilizing agents that act to depolymerize microtubules, induce apoptosis and inhibit primary tumor growth i...

The reaction of the phosphine thiosemicarbazone ligands HLPH and HLPMe with Au(I) ions yields the gold complexes [Au(3)(HLPH)(2)Cl(2)]Cl·2MeOH (1·2MeOH) and [Au(2)(HLPMe)Cl(2)] (2). The structures determined by X Ray diffraction, [Au(3)(HLPH)(2)Cl(2)]Cl·4MeOH (1·4MeOH) and [Au(2)(HLPMe)Cl(2)](2) (2), are the first examples of gold(I) thiosemicarbazone clusters showing aurophilicity. The structu...

Imaging of programmed cell death (apoptosis) is important in the assessment of therapeutic response in oncology and for diagnosis in cardiac and neurodegenerative disorders. The executioner caspases 3 and 7 ultimately effect cellular death, thus providing selective molecular targets for in vivo quantification of apoptosis. To realize this potential, we aimed to develop 18F-labeled isatin sulfon...

Various radiometal complexes have been developed for tumor imaging, especially Ga-68 tracer. In the present study, the development of a radiogallium bis-thiosemicarbazone complex has been reported. [(67)Ga] acetylacetonate bis(thiosemicarbazone) complex ([(67)Ga] AATS) was prepared starting [(67)Ga]Gallium acetate and freshly prepared acetylacetonate bis (thiosemicarbazone) (AATS) in 30 min at ...

The title compound, C(13)H(15)NO(3), was synthesized by the Aldol reaction of isatin and 3-methyl-butan-2-one refluxing in methanol catalyzed by dimethyl-amine. The packing of the mol-ecules in the crystal structure features inter-molecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

BACKGROUND/AIM Atrial natriureticpeptide (ANP) is known as a protective agent against ischemia-reperfusion injuryfor cardiomyocytes. We compared the hemodynamic effects of ANP and isatin, which is known as an ANP receptor blocker, in ischemia followed by reperfusion in exercised rat hearts with nonexercised ones. MATERIALS AND METHODS Isolated hearts were perfused in 4 exercised (E) groups af...

oxidation reaction of indole to isatin was performed in the presence of fe3o4 nanoparticles (as catalyst) and commercial grade perhydrol (as oxidant). magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized via chemical precipitation method and characterized by xrd and tem techniques. the efficiency of reaction was obtained from gc analysis of the mixture. the catalyst was easily separated from the reaction m...

In the title compound, C(18)H(11)ClN(2)O(2), the isatin and 2-chloro-3-methyl-quinoline units are both almost planar, with r.m.s. deviations of 0.0075 and 0.0086 Å, respectively, and the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two units is 83.13 (7)°. In the crystal, a weak inter-molecular C-H⋯ O inter-action links the mol-ecules into chains along the c axis.

In the title compound, C30H31N3O2S, the fused pyrrolidine ring bearing three substituents adopts an envelope conformation with the C atom bearing the benzoyl group as the flap. The other fused pyrrolidine ring adopts a twisted conformation about one of its C-C bonds. The dihedral angle between the isatin ring system and the methyl-thia-zole ring is 25.95 (8)°. An intra-molecular C-H⋯O inter-act...

An organocatalytic asymmetric allylation of 3-indolylmethanol has been established via hydrogen-bond activating mode, which directly assembles isatin-derived 3-indolylmethanols and o-hydroxystyrenes into chiral allyl-substituted oxindoles with one all-carbon quaternary stereogenic center and one newly formed C=C bond in excellent enantioselectivity and (Z)-selectivity (up to 97% ee, >20 : 1 Z/E...
