An efficient and odourless procedure for a one-pot synthesis of thioesters by the reaction of benzoic anhydrides, thiourea and various organic halides (primary, allylic, and benzylic) or structurally diverse, electron-deficient alkenes (ketones, esters, and nitriles) in the presence of Et3N has been developed. In this method, thiobenzoic acids were in situ generated from the reaction of thioure...

Dihydropyrazines (DHPs), which break DNA strands and exhibit several other biological activities by generating radical species and high chemical reactivity as shown in our previous papers, reacted with thiourea to give tetraazaindene derivatives which were new compounds, even though thiourea is scavenges radicals. These derivatives can break DNA strands and inhibit the growth of Escherichia col...

With poor (low) solubility in the aquatic environment, highly toxic drugs (aspirin, doxorubicin, daunorubicin, sulfonamides and others), a low level of glycyrrhizic acid (HA) leads to decrease toxicity increases their biological activity due water. The stability constants (stability) value Gibbs energy synthesized supramolecular complex have been calculated, theoretical experimental research me...

The catalytic activity of racemic thiourea derivatives of Tröger’s base (±)-2–4 in Michael additions of malonate derivatives to trans-β-nitrostyrene was studied. Due to the low basicity of Tröger’s base, the outcome of the addition reactions was strongly dependent on the pKa of the nucleophile. Thiourea catalysts (±)-2, 3 were resolved on the chiral stationary phase Whelk O1. Unfortunately, ena...

The bactericidal efficacies of three organic N,N'-dihalamine disinfectants in the class of compounds termed imidazolidinones were determined for combinations of pH, temperature, and water quality treatments by using Staphylococcus aureus and Shigella boydii as test organisms. The compound 1,3-dibromo-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-imidazolidinone was found to be the most rapidly acting bactericide, espe...

A series of new 4-(5-(3-cyano-4-isobutoxyphenyl)-4-methylthiazole-2-carbonyl)-N-(substituted phenyl)piperazine-1-carboxamides 8(a-e)/carbothioamides 8(f-j) were accomplished for biological interest by the simple addition of active functionalized arylisocyanates 7(a-e)/arylisothiocyanates 7(f-j) with 2-isobutoxy-5-(4-methyl-2-(piperazine-1-carbonyl)thiazol-5-yl)benzonitrile (4). Compound 4 was s...

Ferricyanide-containing liposomes were used as a system to compare the electron- and proton-translocating properties of six redox reagents commonly used as electron donors for biochemical systems. The effects of different ionophore combinations on the ferricyanide-reduction rate were generally consistent with the expected proton- and electron-translocating properties of the mediators. The trans...

Thiourea is the parent compound of a group of compounds known t.o have goitrogenic activity. These substances prevent the formation of organically bound iodine from iodide ion (l-6), but the mechanism of this action is unknown. ‘Paper I of this series (7) showed that when thiourea labeled with radioactive sulfur was administered to rats the concentration of radioactivity in the thyroid gland 24...

Electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) studies on the reduction process of nitroxyl spin probes were carried out for 1mM concentration of 14 N-labeled pyrrolidine nitroxyl spin probes, 3-carbamoyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-pyrrolidine-1-oxyl (carbamoyl-PROXYL) and 3-carboxy-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-pyrrolidine -1-oxyl (carboxy-PROXYL), 14 N-labeled piperidine nitroxyl spin probes, 4-methoxy-2,2,6,6-te...
