To enable minimally invasive studies of proteins in their native context, it is desirable to tag proteins with small, bright reporter groups. Recently, our lab described PRIME technology (for PRobe Incorporation Mediated by Enzymes) for such tagging [1-3]. An engineered variant...

Abstract The preparation 0f azo dyes is the subject of this research. 4-hydroxycoumarin with each ofo-amino benzoic acid (3-[o-Amino acidazo]-4-hydroxycoumarin]) (B 1 ) and Sulfa guanidine (3-[Sulfa azo]-4-hydroxycoumarin) 2 were syntheses. Azo compounds characterized by I.R, CHN, H-NMR Elctronic Mass spectroscopy. At various pH levels, electronic spectra these investigated in terms acid-base p...

The in vitro biotransformation of 7-alkoxycoumarin by rat liver microsomes was studied to develop a simple and accurate assay procedure for 7-alkoxycoumarin O-dealkylase. 7-Alkoxycoumarin was converted to the O-dealkylated metabolite, 7-hydroxycoumarin, by aerobic incubation of the parent compound with microsomes and NADPH, but the decreased amount of 7-alkoxycoumarin in the reaction mixture wa...

Warfarin is often used as a site-specific probe for examining the binding of drugs and other solutes to Sudlow site I of human serum albumin (HSA). However, warfarin has strong binding to HSA and the two chiral forms of warfarin have slightly different binding affinities for this protein. Warfarin also undergoes a slow change in structure when present in common buffers used for binding studies....

Cross-linked hemoglobin (αα-Hb) and polyethylene glycol (PEG)-conjugated Hb have both been considered as possible "blood substitutes." Previously, we showed that PEG-Hb extravasates rapidly in the intestinal mucosa and causes transient epithelial sloughing, resulting in temporary opening of the intestinal epithelial barrier. In the present study, the rat mesenteric preparation was used to quant...

A few imidazolinones [1-aminoethyl/phenyl-2-methyl/phe- nyl-4-acetylidene/benzylidene-imidazolin-5[4H]-ones] were newly synthesized from respetive acetylidene/benzylidene oxazolinones. Schiff's bases were synthesized by the reaction between imidazolinones and benzaldehyde. The antimicrobial screening of almost all compounds showed moderate to significant activities against B. subtilis ATCC 6633...

A concise and efficient one-pot synthesis of 3-functionalized 4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives via a three-component domino reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin, phenylglyoxal and 3-arylaminocyclopent-2-enone or 4-arylaminofuran-2(5H)-one under catalyst-free and microwave irradiation conditions is described. This synthesis involves a group-assisted purification process, which avoids traditional recrystal...

The regioselective C-2-O-acrylation and metacrylation of methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-alpha-D-glucopyranoside and methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-alpha-D-galactopyranoside through their corresponding organotin intermediates have been studied. Regioselectivity was achieved through the formation of a tin chelate of the 2,3-diols. Thus, methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-alpha-D-glucopyranoside and methyl 4,6-O-benzyl...
