Reaction of aryl methyl ketone with isatin in the presence of a base afforded 2- arylquinoline-4-carboxylic acid (3). Reaction of diazomethane with compound 3 yielded the ester 4. Compound 5 was prepared from the reaction of N, N'-dialkylethyl (or propyl) arnine with 4. Addition of hydrazine hydrate to compound 4a gave 2- (2- pyridyl) quinoline-4-carboxylic acid hydrazide (6). Reaction of l...

In the recent past, deorphanization studies have described intermediates of energy metabolism to activate G protein-coupled receptors and to thereby regulate metabolic functions. GPR81, GPR109A, and GPR109B, formerly known as the nicotinic acid receptor family, are encoded by clustered genes and share a high degree of sequence homology. Recently, hydroxy-carboxylic acids were identified as endo...

The G-protein-coupled receptors GPR81, GPR109A, and GPR109B share significant sequence homology and form a small group of receptors, each of which is encoded by clustered genes. In recent years, endogenous ligands for all three receptors have been described. These endogenous ligands have in common that they are hydroxy-carboxylic acid metabolites, and we therefore have proposed that this recept...

In our pursuit of an efficient, protecting-group-free synthesis of the dual CCK1/CCK2 receptor antagonist 1, we have developed chemoselective conditions for sulfonamide formation reaction in pure water and a PhNMe(2) mediated carboxamide formation, both in the presence of a carboxylic acid. Practical synthesis of an unnatural, chiral β-aryl-α-amino acid is also described.

In this work, we studied the effect of carboxylic acid on the rheological properties of a high-alumina cement mortar (CH45) produced by the Algerian firm REFRACTAL.The investigated properties are setting time, water consumption, electrical conductivity, pH, density and the compressive strength. The results show a setting time of about 200 min for the acid...
