The optimization techniques for hierarchical O(N) N{body algorithms described here focus on managing the data distribution and the data references, both between the memories of diierent nodes, and within the memory hierarchy of each node. We show how the techniques can be expressed in data{parallel languages, such as High Performance Fortran (HPF) and Connection Machine Fortran (CMF). The eeect...

Saponin OSW-1 (5e-G2; 3 beta,16 beta,17 alpha-trihydroxycholest-5-en-22-one 16-O-{O-[2-O-(4-methoxybenzoyl)-beta-D-xylopyranosyl]-(1-->3)-2-O-acetyl-alpha-arabinopyranoside}) analogues: with modified side chain (5a/d-G2), 22-deoxo-23,24,25,26,27-pentanor- (14), 22-deoxo-23-oxa- (17), glycosylated with various monosaccharides (5e-G4/G6/G8), and OSW-1 structural isomer (10) were obtained. The ana...

The series of 6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-5-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(4'-substituted benzylidine)thiazolo(2,3-b)quinazolin-3(2H)-ones (4a-j) and 6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-5-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(4'-substituted benzylidine)-3-(4-nitrophenyl amino)thiazoloquinazolines (5a-j) were synthesized by the reported method and evaluated for their phosphodiesterase inhibitory activity. All test compounds exhibited good ...

The reaction of Mn(X)(CO)5 (X = Cl, Br, I) with 2 equivalents of tri(1-cyclohepta-2,4,6trienyl)phosphane, P(C7H7)3 ((1); [P] if coordinated to a metal) led stepwise first to cis{Mn(X)(CO)4[P]} (X = Cl (4a), Br (4b), I (4c)) and then to mer,trans-{Mn(X)(CO)3[P]2} (X = Cl (5a), Br (5b), I (5c)). Nucleophilic displacement of the bromo ligand from (5b) by one-, threeor five-electron ligands gave th...

A series of mono-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines 4a-4k, unsymmetrical bis-purine isosteres 5a-5e and symmetrical bis-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines 6a and 6b connected via di(1,2,3-triazolyl)phenyl linker were synthesized by click chemistry. Whereas mono- 4g and bis-pseudopurine 5e showed selective inhibitory activities on cervical carcinoma (HeLa) cells, bis-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine 6b exhibited potent a...

A series of new matrinic acid derivatives 5a-e was synthesized. The chemical structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, and electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy. The anti-tumor activities were also investigated in vitro by evaluating the effect of synthesized compounds on the proliferation of A375, A549, HeLa, and HepG2 cells. Compound 5e was found to be the...
