Quaternary ammonium and phosphonium salts have been screened for their toxic effect on HeLa and K562 cancer cell lines, as well as on normal HUVEC cells. Tri-n-butyl-n-hexadecylphosphonium bromide, the first phosphonium salt with a halogen anion tested against HeLa cells, was 12 times more potent (IC50 <5 μm after 24 and 48 h) than the clinically used reference compound cisplatin and 17 times m...

Background and objective: Hyoscine N-butyl bromide acts by inhibiting cholinergic transmission in pelvic parasympathetic ganglia and antagonizing muscarinic receptors of smooth muscles in the abdomen and pelvic organs, thus relieving spasm aiding to cervical dilation. This study is to assess the efficacy of Hyoscine butyl bromide on cervical dilation in multigravid pregnant women during the act...

The colloidal and biological properties of the two single-chain surfactants N-benzyl-N,N-dimethyl-N-(1-dodecyl)ammonium bromide (PH12) and N-cyclohexylmethyl-N,N-dimethyl-N-(1-dodecyl)ammonium bromide (CH12) and their two dimeric counterparts N,N'-(1,3-phenylenebis(methylene))bis(N,N-dimethyl-N-(1-dodecyl)ammonium dibromide (12PH12) and N,N'-(cyclohexane-1,3-diylbis(methylene))bis(N,N-dimethyl-...

The energy profiles of various configurations the tetra-n-butylammonium ion (Bu 4 N + ) arising by changing angle between a pair butyl ligands, as well rotating alkyl fragments in gas phase, were calculated using DFT methods. A hypothesis about most probable way conformations ions during phase transitions highly conductive solid electrolytes was proposed.

In the title compound, [CuBr(2)(C(27)H(36)N(4))], the Cu(II) ion exhibits a distorted tetra-hedral coordination geometry provided by two bromide ions and by chelation of two imine N-atom donors from a bis-(benzimidazole) ligand. Chelation results in a six-membered boat-shaped ring which links the benzimidazole groups. Each bis-(benzimidazole) fragment contains three n-butyl substituents, two of...

Reaction of n-propylamino-N,N-bis(2-methylene-4-tert-butyl-6-methylphenol), H(2)L1, n-propylamino-N,N-bis(2-methylene-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol), H(2)L2, and benzylamino-N,N-bis(2-methylene-4-tert-butyl-6-methylphenol), H(2)L3, with anhydrous ferric chloride in the presence of base yields the products, [FeL1(μ-Cl)](2) (1), [FeL2(μ-Cl)](2) (2) and [FeL3(μ-Cl)](2) (3). In the solid state, these com...

The MnBr2 complex of N2,N6-bis-(di-tert-butyl-phosphan-yl)pyridine-2,6-di-amine (1·MnBr2) co-crystallizes with 5.69% of the monophosphine oxide analogue (1O·MnBr2) and two tetra-hydro-furan (THF) mol-ecules, namely [N2,N6-bis-(di-tert-butyl-phosphan-yl)pyridine-2,6-di-amine]-dibromido-manganese(II)-[bis-(di-tert-butyl-phosphan-yl)({6-[(di-tert-butyl-phosphan-yl)amino]-pyridin-2-yl}amino)-phosph...

The title compound, C(18)H(26)O(11), was synthesized by a condensation reaction of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-d-galactopyranosyl bromide and butyric acid. The acet-oxy-methyl and butyrate groups are located on the same side of the pyran ring, showing the β configuration for the d-glycosyl ester; the butyl group adopts an extend conformation, the C-C-C-C torsion angle being 179.1 (7)°. In the crys...

In the title compound, [CdBr(2)(C(5)H(12)N(2)S)(2)], the Cd(II) atom lies on a twofold rotation axis. It exhibits a distorted tetra-hedral coordination environment defined by two S atoms of two tetra-methyl-thio-urea (tmtu) ligands and two bromide ions. The crystal structure is consolidated by C-H⋯N and C-H⋯S hydrogen bonds.
