BACKGROUND Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can result in peptic ulcer disease (PUD) which is a common condition worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antiulcer properties of (1-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-3-m-tolyl-propenone) (HPTP) chalcone in rats using indomethacin as ulcerogenic agent. RESULTS None of the rats showed symptoms of kidney and liver toxicity during the te...

The pyridyl and aryl rings in the title compound, C(16)H(15)NO(3)·H(2)O, which are located at the ends of the propenone unit, are nearly coplanar with this unit [dihedral angles = 3.74 (14) and 5.06 (13)°, respectively]; the rings are inclined at an angle of 6.2 (1)° with respect to each other. The solvent water mol-ecule forms hydrogen bonds with the pyridyl N atom and also with a symmetry-rel...

In the title mol-ecule, C(16)H(14)OS, the dihedral angle between the phenyl and benzene rings is 3.81 (15)°. The H atoms of the central enone group are trans. The propenone unit makes dihedral angles of 11.73 (18) and 11.62 (17)° with the benzene and phenyl rings, respectively. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions.

In the title compound, C(19)H(13)ClO, the benzene ring and the naphthalene system, are twisted by 12.3 (3) and 36.1 (2)°, respectively, and in opposite directions with respect to the central propenone bridge. The bond-angle pattern within the benzene ring is influence by both substituents; these influences are almost additive. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl inter-a...

The Second Law of thermodynamics implies that no thermodynamic system with a single heat source at constant temperature can convert into mechanical work in recurrent manner. First, we note this is equivalent to cyclo-passivity the port system, while thermal kept constant. This leads question, which general systems two power ports have similar behavior: when cyclo-passive one its ports, output v...

Cyclo(His-Phe) was effectively converted to its dehydro derivatives by the enzyme of Streptomyces albulus KO-23, an albonoursin-producing actinomycete. Two types of dehydro derivatives were isolated from the reaction mixture and identified as cyclo(DeltaHis-DeltaPhe) and cyclo(His-DeltaPhe). This is the first report on cyclo(His-DeltaPhe) and the enzymatic preparation of both compounds. Cyclo(D...

Two new Drug Delivery Systems (DDS) cyclo[DKP-isoDGR]-PEG-4-Val-Ala-PTX (2) and cyclo[DKP-isoDGR]-PEG-4-sC18-Val-Ala-PTX (3), containing the cyclo[DKP-isoDGR] integrin ligand cytotoxic agent Paclitaxel (PTX), were synthesized to investigate influence of a PEG-4 chain sC18 cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) on cellular uptake cytotoxicity constructs. A “double click-reaction strategy” was planned, r...
