Cyclic polyamine 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane, (Me(3)TACD)H (= Me(3)[12]aneN(4)), reacted with [K{N(SiHMe(2))(2)}] in benzene-d(6) to give [K{(Me(3)TACD)SiMe(2)N(SiHMe(2))}] (1) under hydrogen evolution. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction of 1 shows a dinuclear structure in the solid state, featuring a bridging μ-amido and a weak β-agostic Si-H bond. 1,7-Dimethyl-1,4,7,10-tetraa...

Mangosteen extracts (ME) contain high levels of polyphenolic compounds and antioxidant activity. Protective effects of ME against β-amyloid peptide (Aβ), induced cytotoxicity have been reported. Here, we further studied the protective effects of ME against oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and demonstrated the protection against memory im...

Allergic diseases, such as asthma and allergic rhinitis, are common. Therefore, the discovery of therapeutic drugs for these conditions is essential. Methyleugenol (ME) is a natural compound with antiallergic, antianaphylactic, antinociceptive, and anti-inflammatory effects. This study examined the antiallergic effect of ME on IgE-mediated inflammatory responses and its antiallergy mechanism in...

Thermostable β-galactosidases from thermophilic bacteria have attracted increasing interest to various advantages in industrial and biotechnological applications. In this study, a highly thermally stable β-galactosidase produced by Anoxybacillus sp. AH1was purified characterized. The highest enzyme production was achieved after the bacterium incubated for 24 hours. precipitation with ammonium s...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the butanol fraction of the water/acetone extract and isolate of the new flavonoids from Launeae arboescens. METHODS The compounds were isolated by liquid chromatographic methods and their structures were identified by using spectroscopic analysis. RESULTS THE ISOLATED COMPOUNDS WERE IDENTIFIED AS: 7-O-[α-rhamnopyranosyl 4',5,6-Trihydroxy flavone 1,4',5'-Di-Methoxy ...

I certify that this student has met the requirements for format contained in the University format manual, and that this project is suitable for shelving in the Library and credit is to be awarded for the project. One of the major obstacles to myelin repair in multiple sclerosis is the failure of endogenous oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) to differentiate into mature oligodendrocytes (O...

A set of β-ketoimidazolium and β-ketoimidazolinium salts of the general formula [R(1)C(O)CH2{CH[NCR(3)CR(3)N(R(2))]}]X (R(1) = (t)Bu, naphth; R(2) = (i)Pr, Mes, (t)Bu; R(3) = H, Me, (H)2; X = Cl, Br) show contrasting reactivity with superhydride bases MHBEt3; two are reduced to chiral β-alcohol carbene-boranes R(1)CH(OH)CH2{C(BEt3)[NCR(3)CR(3)N(R(2))]} 2 (R(1) = (t)Bu; R(2) = (i)Pr, Mes; R(3) =...

The β-diketiminatolead(II)-amido and -anilido complexes, [(BDI)Pb(NRR')] (BDI = [{N(2,6-iPr2C6H3)C(Me)}2CH]; NRR' = NH(2,6-iPr2C6H3), N(iPr)2), react at the amido/anilido nitrogen atom with simple saturated electrophiles such as methyltriflate. Addition of unsaturated electrophiles to these complexes either results in the formation of a complex mixture of products, or in the case of phenylisocy...

Deubiquitinating enzyme USP7 has been involved in the pathogenesis and progression of several cancers. Targeting USP7 is becoming an attractive strategy for cancer therapy. In this study, we identified synthetic triterpenoid C-28 methyl ester of 2-cyano-3, 12-dioxoolen-1, 9-dien-28-oic acid (CDDO-Me) as a novel inhibitor of USP7 but not of other cysteine proteases such as cathepsin B and cathep...

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is an established therapeutic target for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. The aim of this study was to investigate the inhibitory activity of Magnolia officinalis extract (ME) on PTP1B and its anti-T2DM effects. Inhibition assays and inhibition kinetics of ME were performed in vitro. 3T3-L1 adipocytes and C2C12 myotubes were stimulated with ME...
