In order to clarify the mechanism by polyphenols of protective effects against oxidative damage or by quinolinic acid of its neurotoxic and inflammatory actions, effects of polyphenols or quinolinic acid on the radical formation were examined. The ESR measurements showed that some polyphenols such as caffeic acid, catechol, gallic acid, D-(+)-catechin, L-dopa, chlorogenic acid and L-noradrenali...

Fe(BF4)2·6H2O/2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid catalysed nitrosation of a wide variety of substituted styrenes has been developed in the presence of t-BuONO/NaBH4 under H2 pressure (10 bar) in MeOH-H2O (5 : 1) to afford corresponding oximes in good to excellent yields.

Two novel vanadium(III) complexes: V(dipic)(Hbdc)(H2O)2 (1) and [V2(dipic)2(H2btec)(H2O)4]·2H2O (2) (H2dipic = 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid, H2bdc = 1,3-benzene-dicarboxylic acid, H4btec = 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid) are synthesized by the reaction of V2(SO4)3, 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid and 1,3-benzene-dicarboxylic acid (for 1) or 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid (for 2) under ...

Chelate stabilization of a titanium(IV)-salan alkoxide by ligand exchange with 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (dipic) resulted in heptacoordinate complex 3 which is not redox-active, stable on silica gel and has increased aqueous stability. 3 is highly toxic in HeLa S3 and Hep G2 and has enhanced antitumor efficacy in a mouse cervical-cancer model.

Unsaturated σ,π-cyclooctenyl and hydrido Ir(III) complexes bearing an unusual tridentate dianionic ONO pincer-type ligand have been straightforwardly obtained from 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid and standard Ir(I) starting materials. These complexes efficiently catalyzed the arene C-H borylation under thermal conditions.

Using semiclassical electron-radiation-ion dynamics, the authors have examined the effect of nuclear motion, resulting from both finite temperature and the response to a radiation field, on the line broadening of the excitation profile of 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (dipicolinic acid). With nuclei fixed, there is a relatively small broadening associated with the finite time duration of an app...

A series of linear and macrocyclic peptides 3-12 were synthesized using 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (1) as starting material and screened for their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities. Bis-ester 3 was prepared from 1 and L-leucine methyl ester. Hydrazinolysis and hydrolysis of dipeptide methyl ester 3 with hydrazine hydrate or 1 N sodium hydroxide afforded compounds 4 a...

2-amino-5-carboxymuconic 6-semialdehyde is an unstable intermediate in the meta-cleavage pathway of 4-amino-3-hydroxybenzoic acid in Bordetella sp. strain 10d. In vitro, this compound is nonenzymatically converted to 2,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid. Crude extracts of strain 10d grown on 4-amino-3-hydroxybenzoic acid converted 2-amino-5-carboxymuconic 6-semialdehyde formed from 4-amino-3-hydroxybe...

The acid property of alkali and alkali earth cation exchanged clinoptiolites were observed by micro-calorimetry of NH(3) adsorption at 200 degrees C. The reaction rates on decomposition of tert-butyl acetate (TBA) over clinoptilolites was proportional to the acid strength. 1,4-Dihydropyridines were oxidized to corresponding Pyridines in high yields at room temperature by H(2)O(2) aqueous soluti...
