Lanthanide ions, Ln(III), are of interest in the treatment of bone density disorders because they are found to accumulate preferentially in bone (in vivo), have a stimulatory effect on bone formation, and exhibit an inhibitory effect on bone degradation (in vitro), altering the homeostasis of the bone cycle. In an effort to develop an orally active lanthanide drug, a series of 3-hydroxy-4-pyrid...

The triphosphate form of the acyclovir analog BW759U (9-[[2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethoxy]methyl]guanine) inhibited the DNA polymerases (EC 2.7.7.7) from several strains of herpes simplex virus type 1. Two acyclovir triphosphate-resistant DNA polymerases were as sensitive to BW759U-triphosphate as were the DNA polymerases induced by wild-type viruses (Ki = 0.05 to 0.1 microM). The Ki value fo...

The proton-ligand and metal-ligand stability constants of the complexes of Cu(II), Ni(II),Co(II) with 1-Benzothiazol2-yl-3-(2-hydroxy phenyl)-5-(4-methoxy phenyl) pyrazoline (L), 1-Benzothiazol-2-yl-3-(2-hydroxy phenyl)-5-phenyl pyrazoline (L), 1-Benzothiazol-2-yl-3-(2-hydroxy phenyl)-5-(4-chloro phenyl) pyrazoline(L), 1-Benzothiazol-2-yl3-(2-hydroxy-5-methyl phenyl)-5-(4-methoxy phenyl) pyrazo...

Many chemically synthesized xenobiotics can significantly inhibit the vitality of parasitic nematodes. However, there is yet too little research on toxicity such contaminating compounds toward Compounds that are present in plants able to organisms as well. According results our laboratory studies toxicity, following caused no decrease larvae Strongyloides papillosus and Haemonchus contortus: me...

Ficaprenol-11 (polyprenol) (1), squalene (2), lupeol (3), -sitostenone (4), trans-coumaric acid (5), cis-coumaric acid (6) pheophytin-a (7), pheophorbide a methyl ester (8), methyl-13-hydroxy-(13-S)pheophorbide-b (9) and aristophyll-C (10) were isolated from the whole plants of Leucaena leucocephala (Leguminosae). Among them, 1 and 2 was found for the first time from this species. The structur...

9-[[2-Hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethoxy]methyl]guanine (BIOLF-62) is highly synergistic with either phosphonoformate or phosphonoacetate when used in combination against herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 in vitro. Acycloguanosine did not show significant synergism with these two compounds. Bromovinyldeoxyuridine and phosphonoformate were highly synergistic against herpes simplex virus type 2, bu...
