Thirty three compounds were obtained from the bulbs of Urginea maritima (Liliaceae). The compounds were identified by means of fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB-MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), (13C-NMR), nuclear overhauser effects (NOE) and two dimensional (2D) NMR. Ten of them were new natural compounds. Nine were bufadienolides and only one was lignan in these compounds.

Primaquine, an 8-amino-6-methoxyquinoline antimalarial agent, was subjected to metabolic studies with microorganisms. Streptomyces rimosus converted primaquine to the previously reported N-acetyl derivative. Continued incubation of S. rimosus resulted in the formation of a minor dimeric metabolite. The structure of the minor dimeric metabolite was proposed based primarily on its spectral data (...

The present research describes the synthesis of novel 5-benzoyl-N-substituted-amino- and 5-benzoyl-N-sulfonylamino-4-alkylsulfanyl-2-pyridones 5a-c and 6a-c via the reaction of 2-benzoyl-3,3-bis(alkylthio)acrylonitriles 2a-c with N-cyanoacetohydrazide 3 and cyanoaceto-N-phenylsulfonylhydrazide 4, respectively. Also, the reactivity of the compounds 5a-c toward hydrazine hydrate to give product 1...

Polymer electrolyte membranes based on the natural polymer κ-carrageenan were modified and characterized for application in electrochemical devices. In general, pure κ-carrageenan membranes show a low ionic conductivity. New membranes were developed by chemically modifying κ-carrageenan via phosphorylation to produce O-methylene phosphonic κ-carrageenan (OMPC), which showed enhanced membrane co...

Highly purified 5-vinyl-1H-tetrazole was synthesized, which is in great demand modern medicine and industry as a monomer for obtaining nitrogen-rich macromolecular compounds reagent the complete synthesis of biological compounds. The molecular structure studied experimentally with sequential X-ray diffraction analysis theoretically ab initio quantum chemical calculations. data from differential...

study of the nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of glyoxaldihydrazone in dimethylsulfoxide and deuterochlorofonn leads to the conclusion that this compound exists predominantly in non-chelate structure
