A series of new prodrugs (3a-e) of norfloxacin (1) was synthesized using 4-oxo-4-substituted-phenylbutanoic acids (2a-e) as promoiety. An amide-linkage was established between the secondary amino group of 1with the free carboxylic group of 2 following a single-step synthesis. The structure of the synthesized prodrugs was established on the basis of IR, HNMR and mass spectral data. The title com...

We investigated whether and how sublexical units such as phonological syllables mediate access to the lexicon in French visual word recognition. To do so, two lexical decision task (LDT) experiments examined the nature of the syllabic neighbourhood effect. In Experiments 1a and b, the number of higher frequency syllabic neighbours was manipulated while controlling for the first bigram. The resu...
