Two new xanthones, 6-hydroxy-3,7-dimethoxy-8-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-6',6'-dimethyl-5'-hydroxy-4',5'-dihydropyrano(2',3':1,2)xanthone (1) and 6-hydroxy-3,7-dimethoxy-8-(2-oxo-3-methylbut-3-enyl)-6',6'-dimethyl-5'-hydroxy-4',5'-dihydropyrano(2',3':1,2)xanthone (2), have been isolated from the stems of Cratoxylum cochinchinense (Lour.) Blume. Their structures were established on the basis of spectro...

Compounds found in the urine represent the end products of metabolism and are the expression of the efficiencies or inefficiencies of this process. Nutritional status has a direct effect on this metabolic efficiency. Careful assessment of certain urinary compounds can yield valuable information on the nutrient needs of the individual. Urinary sulfate, asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), and 8-h...

Crystal structure prediction studies indicated the existence of an unknown high density monohydrate structure (Hy1B°) as global energy minimum for 4-aminoquinaldine (4-AQ). We thus performed an interdisciplinary experimental and computational study elucidating the crystal structures, solid form inter-relationships, kinetic and thermodynamic stabilities of the stable anhydrate (AH I°), the kinet...

The title compound, C(19)H(10)F(5)NO(2), was synthesized by the 1:1 condensation of 2-methyl-8-hydroxy-quinaldine with penta-fluoro-benzaldehyde. It crystallizes with two almost identical mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The penta-fluoro-benzene ring is essentially coplanar with the quinoline ring, forming dihedral angles of 2.49 (17) and 8.72 (16)° in the two mol-ecules.
