In a recent publication, Thaweerattanasinp et al. (J Neurophysiol 116: 1644-1653, 2016) investigated spinal cord injury and firing properties of deep dorsal horn neurons during NMDA or zolmitriptan application by employing electrophysiology in an in vitro spinal cord preparation. Deep dorsal horn neurons were classified into bursting, simple, or tonic firing groups,with bursting neurons showing...

In the crystal of the title compound, C(12)H(16)N(2)OS, inversion dimers linked by pairs of N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds occur, generating R(2) (2)(8) loops. The mol-ecules are also linked by weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The structure is isostructural with that of N'-benzoyl-N,N-diethyl-seleno-urea [Bruce et al. (2007 ▶). New J. Chem.31, 1647-1653].

The mechanism of the thiol-ene reaction induced by 330 nm ultraviolet excitation of 1,2-di(quinolin-2-yl)disulfide (QSSQ) in the presence of methyl methacrylate (MMA) is investigated by sub-picosecond to microsecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The measurements, spanning more than seven orders of magnitude of time, directly reveal multiple radical reaction steps. The ground state quinolie...
