A series of triazenes derived from 5-(4-aminophenyl)-2,4-dihydro–4-substituted-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiones 1a-c, aminoglutethimide or para-aminobenzoic acid have been synthesized for in vitro anticancer properties against three cell lines. The selected compounds; 1,3-bis[4(4-methyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thioxo-5-yl)phenyl]-3H-triazene 2a, 1,3-bis[4(4-ethyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol...

5-Azido-4-(dimethylamino)-1-methyl-1,2,4-triazolium hexafluoridophosphate was synthesized from the corresponding 5-bromo compound with NaN3. Reaction with bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene yielded a tricyclic aziridine, addition of an N-heterocyclic carbene resulted in a triazatrimethine cyanine, and reduction with triphenylphosphane gave the 5-amino derivative. The crystal structures of three nitrogen-...

The title compound, C(16)H(19)N(3)O(2), exhibits a trans geometry about the N=N double bond in the triazene unit in the solid state, and individual mol-ecules are close to planar with r.m.s. deviations from planarity of 0.065 Å and 0.242 Å for the two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. Distinct inter-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of dimers with an R(2) (2)(8) g...

S-nitrosation of mitochondrial proteins has been proposed to contribute to the pathophysiological interactions of nitric oxide (NO) and its derivatives with mitochondria but has not been shown directly. Furthermore, little is known about the mechanism of formation or the fate of these putative S-nitrosothiols. Here we have determined whether mitochondrial membrane protein thiols can be S-nitros...

Nitrogen rich compounds are suitable as ingredients in low smoke propellant charges. Several high-N energetic materials are presented which are based on tetrazoles. Tetrazoles are an unique class of compounds, since they combine a high nitrogen content and a high heat of formation with good thermal and kinetic stabilities due to their aromatic ring system. The reaction of 5azidotetrazole with h...

The title compound, C(14)H(14)N(4)O(3), exhibits a trans geometry about the N=N double bond in the triazene unit. The mol-ecule is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.044 Å for all non-H atoms). An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of dimers which are, in turn, connected to each other by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming in...

TriN 2755 is an alkylating antineoplastic agent for intravenous (IV) use, carrying the triazene group as the cytotoxic principal. Using a standard 3 + 3 design, a phase I study was performed in tumour bearing dogs to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), the dose limiting toxicity (DLT), and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of TriN 2755. Thirty dogs were included in the study. TriN 2755 was a...

DNA-directed synthesis of encoded combinatorial libraries of small organic compounds most often involves transfer of organic building blocks from one DNA strand to another. This requires cleavable linkers to enable cleavage of the link to the original DNA strand from which the building block is transferred. Relatively few cleavable linkers are available for DNA-directed synthesis and most often...
