cyclic voltammogram and differential pulse polarograph of octaethyl porphyrin iron(iii) chloride in dichloromethane was investigated in the presence of pyridine, imidazole and collidine. values of e1/2 for feiii/feii redox reaction were monitored as a function of axial group concentration, and on the basis of these data, an overall oxidation-reduction and ligand addition scheme was formulated. ...

in the recent years, the role of lox enzymes in the cause of neoplastic diseases such as colorectal, skin, pancreatic and renal cancers has been confirmed. a new series of 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives bearing 2-pyridyl moiety was synthesized and their cytotoxicity was assessed using mtt protocol. enzyme inhibitory activity of prepared compounds was also tested against 15-lipoxygenase-1 as nove...

The Front Cover illustrates how the pyridine ring of antihistamine loratadine can be selectively functionalised at ortho-, meta-, or para-position (each them activated by a thunder). Indeed, selective functionalisation this N-heterocycle is often problematic, thus lighthouse guides chemists through late-stage functionalisations pyridine-containing biomolecules. More information found in Review ...

Hantzsch 1, 4-dihydropyridines (1,4-DHPs) can be oxidized to the corresponding pyridine derivatives by thallium triacetate in high yields.

Values of E1/2 for FeIII/FeII redox reaction were monitored as a function of axial group concentration, and on the basis of these data, an overall oxidation-reduction and ligand addition scheme was formulated. ...

Micrococcus luteus produced 29 muM riboflavin during growth on 6.5 mM pyridine but not during growth on other substrates. On the basis of the results of radiolabelling studies, riboflavin was not directly synthesized from pyridine. Pyridine may interfere with riboflavin biosynthesis or elicit a general stress response in M. luteus.
