p-Toluenesulfonylmethyl isocyanide (TosMIC) is used as the isonitrile component in Passerini reactions with chromone-3-carboxaldehydes to yield chromenyl-amidoesters in good yields.

In the search for cancer chemopreventive agents, we have studied the Diels-Alder reaction of trans-communic acid with tetra-cyano-ethyl-ene in the presence of SiO(2) as catalyst. The title cycloadduct, C(26)H(30)N(4)O(2), was obtained in 75% yield. The mol-ecules are arranged in pairs through O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming an R(2) (2)(8) ring motif. Both the fused cyclohexyl rings adopt a chair ...

The effectiveness of heat therapy in combination with 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-1-nitrosourea on a murine ependymoblastoma was investigated. Based on survival time and the number of survivors, whole-body hyperthermia (40 degrees) increased the therapeutic effectiveness of 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-1-nitrosourea. Heat alone did not modify the course of the tumor. Microscopic evidence o...

The goals of the present study were: (1) to investigate the binding properties of (R)- and (S)-procyclidine and two achiral derivatives of muscarinic M1, M2 and M4 receptor subtypes and (2) to identify the interactions which allow these receptors to discriminate between the two stereoisomers. (R)-Procyclidine showed a higher affinity for human neuroblastoma NB-OK 1 muscarinic M1 and rat striatu...

Abstract: The reactive 1:1 intermediate produced in the reaction between cyclohexyl isocyanide and electron- deficient acetylenic esters or dimethyl acetylene dicarboxylate was trapped by 2-cyano-N-(Aryl) acetamides to provides highly functionalized oxopyridine (potential synthetic and pharmaceutical interest )  in  acetonitrile under mild reaction conditions at ambient temperature after 24 h ...

N-Formyl peptide receptors (FPRs) are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) involved in host defense and sensing cellular dysfunction. Thus, FPRs represent important therapeutic targets. In the present studies, we screened 32 ligands (agonists and antagonists) of unrelated GPCRs for their ability to induce intracellular Ca²+ mobilization in human neutrophils and HL-60 cells transfected with human...
