Binuclear Cobalt(II) complexes of the type [Co2(pipdtc)(aa)2(H2O)4], containing bridging Piperazine Dithiocarbamate (pipdtc) and amino acids(aaH) such as alanine(alaH), Phenyl alanine(phealaH), Tyrosine(tyrH), Methionine(metH) and Glycine(glyH) as the deprotonated chelated anion , have been prepared and Characterized by elemental and thermal analysis, IR, UV-Vis , ESR spectral studies, and magn...

Azalactone 1 can be synthesized via treatment of 4chlorobenzoyl glycine with p-anisaldehyde in the presence of acetic anhydride and sod Acetate. The behaviour of azalactone 1 towards nitrogen nucleophiles, for example, anthranilic acid, 6-aminopyrimidin-2,4-dione and 2-amino-6-phenyl 1,3,4thiadiazole can be investigated. Benzoxazone 2 can be treated with hydrazine hydrate, hydroxylamine hydroch...

We investigated the role of the alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate (AMPA) receptor in the induction and expression of an amphetamine-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) in mice. The selective AMPA-receptor antagonist 2, 3-dihydroxy-6-nitro-7-sulfamoyl-benzo(f)quinoxaline (NBQX) failed to prevent the induction of a CPP, except at a dose (30 mg/kg) that also produced a c...

The Staudinger ligation provides a means to form an amide bond between a phosphinothioester and azide. This reaction holds promise for the ligation of peptides en route to the total chemical synthesis of proteins. (Diphenylphosphino)methanethiol is the most efficacious of known reagents for mediating the Staudinger ligation of peptides, providing high (> 90%) isolated yields for equimolar coupl...

The factors that govern the substrate reactivity and stereoselectivity of phosphotriesterase (PTE) toward organophosphotriesters containing various combinations of methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, and phenyl substituents at the phosphorus center were determined by systematic alterations in the dimensions of the active site. The wild type PTE prefers the S(P)-enantiomers over the corresponding R(P)-ena...

the effect of alkyl substituents on the c-phenyl and/or the n-phenyl ring of benzophenylhydroxamic acid on their molecular structure and hydrogen bonding has been investigated. the predominant configuration in chcl3 is determined by steric and electronic effects. substituents on the c-phenyl ring favor the cis configuration, while substituents in the n-phenyl ring favor a trans configuration. t...

petroleum-polluted soil samples from ahvaz oilfield were enriched, using three methods to detect microorganisms with different dibenzothiophene degradation capabilities. strain nisoc-03, a nitrate-reducing, oxidase negative, catalase, citrate, and urease positive, gram negative rod, showed interesting dibenzothiophene desulfurization behavior, designated as entreobacter sp. strain nisoc-03 base...

Neuropathic pain is refractory against conventional analgesics, and thus novel medicaments are desired for the treatment. Glycinergic neurons are localized in specific brain regions, including the spinal cord, where they play an important role in the regulation of pain signal transduction. Glycine transporter (GlyT)1, present in glial cells, and GlyT2, located in neurons, play roles in modulati...

Four amidine NR2B-selective NMDA receptor antagonists, N-( 2-methoxy benzyl) -3-phenyl-acrylamidine, N-[diduterio(2-methoxyphenyl) methyl]-3-phenyl-acrylamidine, N-benzyl-3-phenyl-acryl amidine and N-[diduterio(phenyl)methyl]-3-phenyl-acrylamidine, all fourlabeled with carbon-14 in the 1-position, have been synthesized as part of 5-step sequence fromBa14CO3.

reaction of glycin with malononitrile afforded respective pyrrole. pyrrole is one of the heterocyclic compounds with very important biological activities. heterocycles are extremely important because of their wide range of applications that goes from their use as pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals to dyestuffs and additives. in this view, it was proposed to synthesize pyrrole-3-carbonitrile deri...
