The present study evaluated the antioxidant potential of 28 coumarin derivatives, using three antioxidant assays: DPPH inhibition, total reducing power and NO inhibition. Out of the tested compounds, the most active DPPH free radicals scavengers were the coumarin hydrazide derivatives. These substances were also the only ones among the investigated derivatives that exhibited a moderate reducing...

A simple method to label oligosaccharides with a multifunctional fluorescent group was developed. Oligosaccharides were quantitatively labeled at their reducing termini with pyrene butanoic acid hydrazide. The pyrene-labeled oligosaccharides were successfully applied to fluorescence polarization measurements and ELISA at picomole quantity, which was not previously reached by other procedures. T...

An ion chromatographic method was developed which is able to separate five unsubstituted and hydroxy C4 dicarboxylic acids, succinic, malic, tartaric, maleic and fumaric acid, besides the other unsubstituted C2-C5 dicarboxylic acids, oxalic, malonic and glutaric acids, as well as inorganic ions in samples extracted from atmospheric particulate matter. By the application of this method it was fo...

A series of 5-amino-3-methyl-4-isoxazolecarboxylic acid semicarbazides and thiosemicarbazides (M1-M9) were obtained by reacting 5-amino-3-methyl-4-isoxazolecarboxylic acid hydrazide with isocyanate and isothiocyanate. In order to determine structure-activity relationships for the series of nine compounds (M1-M9) geometry optimization was carried out using quantum-chemical DFT calculations at B3...

A series of N-[3-{(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-ylthio) methyl}-5-mercapto-4H-1, 2, 4-triazol-4yl]-2-substituted phenoxy acetamide 6(a-g) were synthesized by the mixture of the compound of potassium 2-(2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-ylthio) acetyl) hydrazinecarbodithioate (4) and aryloxy acid hydrazide (5) in presence of hydrochloric acid. The predicted structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed...

 The uses of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are limited by a variety of side effects. So research on preparing new analgesic agents is important. According to some reports about the analgesic activity of hydrazide and hydrazine derivatives a new series of these compounds were synthesized in order to obtain new analgesic compounds. The final compounds 10a-10e and 15a-15d were pre...

We report the synthesis of new phosphoramidite building blocks and their use for the modification of oligonucleotides with hydrazides. The reaction of these hydrazide oligonucleotides with active esters and aldehydes is demonstrated for solution conjugation and immobilization. Compared with the established amino modified oligonucleotides, hydrazides show enhanced reactivity at neutral and acidi...

Nonenzymatic glycation of proteins has been implicated in various diabetic complications and age-related disorders. Proteins undergo glycation at the N-terminus or at the epsilon-amino group of lysine residues. Glycation of proteins proceeds through the stages of Schiff base formation, conversion to ketoamine product and advanced glycation end products. Gramicidin S, which has two ornithine res...

The aim of this study was conducted to subchronic toxic effects separate and combined using of maleic hydrazide and ethephon in female mice. Treatment group divided into 9 groups according to chemicals’ doses and compared with controls. Three separate maleic hydrazide doses (100-200-400 mg/kg/day, in feed) and ethephon (50-100-150 mg/kg/day, in water) were given alone and in combination during ...
