One of the most important irreversible oxidative modifications of proteins is carbonylation, the process of introducing a carbonyl group in reaction with reactive oxygen species. Notably, carbonylation increases with the age of cells and is associated with the formation of intracellular protein aggregates and the pathogenesis of age-related disorders such as neurodegenerative diseases and cance...

AIMS The region-specific mechanical function of left ventricular (LV) murine cardiomyocytes and the role of phosphorylation and oxidative modifications of myofilament proteins were investigated in the process of post-myocardial infarction (MI) remodelling 10 weeks after ligation of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. METHODS AND RESULTS Permeabilized murine cardiomyocytes from...

amodiaquine is an antimalarial drug used in the prophylaxis and treatment of this disease. however, hepatotoxicity as a life‑threatening adverse effect is associated with its clinical use. we evaluated amodiaquine-induced toxicity in isolated rat hepatocytes as an in vitro model for studying drug‑induced hepatotoxicity. this study attempts to investigate the protective effects of taurine and n-...

A homogeneous Pd(II) catalyst, utilizing a simple and inexpensive amine ligand (TMEDA), allows 2-alkynoates to be prepared in high yields by an oxidative carbonylation of terminal alkynes and alcohols. The catalyst system overcomes many of the limitations of previous palladium carbonylation catalysts. It has an increased substrate scope, avoids large excesses of alcohol substrate and uses a des...

A tandem transformation of C-N coupling/C-H carbonylation has been developed for the synthesis of benzo-1,4-oxazepine pharmaceutically derivatives. Notably, this reaction was accomplished by various phenylamine with ally halides under carbon dioxide atmosphere employing 2-(2-dimethylamino-vinyl)-1H-inden-1-olcatalyzed. Furthermore, under the optimized conditions, various benzo-1,4-oxazepine der...

A simple change of ligand and solvent allows controlled, effective switching between cyclization-carbonylation and cyclization-carbonylation-cyclization-coupling (CCC-coupling) reactions of 2-alkynylanilines catalyzed by palladium(II). The use of a [Pd(tfa)2(box)] catalyst in iPrOH afforded symmetrical ketones bearing two indoles in good yields; replacing the catalyst and solvent with Pd(tfa)2 ...

Abstract Carbonylation, one of the most powerful approaches to preparation carbonylated compounds, has received significant attention from researchers active in various fields. Indeed, impressive progress been made on this subject over past few decades. Among types carbonylation reactions, asymmetric is a straightforward methodology for constructing chiral compounds. Although rhodium-catalyzed ...

Direct catalytic insertion of carbon monoxide in chemicals poses the challenge controlling both ?-bond activation and subsequent carbonylation.

The first transition-metal catalysed carbonylation with a phosphorus nucleophile is presented. This transformation provides efficient and mild access to aroylphosphonates under mild conditions, thus ensuring a broad substrate scope. The utility of aroylphosphonates as useful reagents, capable of participating in a number of transformations, is subsequently demonstrated. Furthermore, access to [...
