A Schiff base dicarboxylic acid (1) was prepared by condensation of 2-hydroxy-1naphthaldehyde with 5-aminoisophthalic acid. Its solvates with pyridine (2a and 2b) and dimethylformamide (3) were prepared by liquid-assisted grinding and by conventional solvent-based methods. All products were characterised by FT-IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. Th...

The stability of the retinal chromophore attachment varies between different visual pigments and may factor in some retinal disease states. Opsin appears to stabilize this Schiff base linkage by: (i) affecting the hydrolysis chemistry, (ii) shielding the retinal linkage from solvent, or (iii) acting as a kinetic trap to slow retinal release. Here we describe methods to determine Schiff base sta...

The 3-(2-aminophenyl) quinazolin-2-methyl-4(3H)-one and 2,4-dihydroxyacetophenone undergo condensation to afford (E)3-2-(1-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethyldeneamino)phenyl)-2-methylquinazoline-4(3H)-one Schiff base (DHPEAPMQ). The newly synthesized Schiff base (DHPEAPMQ) and its metal complexes were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolate...

a series of transition metal complexes with two thiosemicarbazide schiff bases, 1-(4-dimethylaminobenzyl- idene)thiosemicarbazide (abtsc) and 1-(2-pyridincarboxyl-idene) thiosemicarbazide (tcts) were synthesized with co(ii), ni(ii), zn(ii), cd(ii) and ag(i) salts (chloride and acetate). these complexes were characterized by different methods including proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1hnmr), ...

Schiff base (E)-2-methyl-N-(tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinolin4-ylmethylene)aniline (QMA) was synthesized, and its inhibitive effect for mild steel in 1N HCl solution was investigated by weight loss measurement and electrochemical tests. From the weight loss measurements and electrochemical tests, it was observed that the inhibition efficiency increases with the increase in the Schiff base concentration ...

Schiff bases and their metal complexes in the mixtures of ionic liquid (IL) + organic solvent have shown great potential in attractive oxidation catalytic processes. The efficiency of such a process is strongly dependent on the various molecular interactions occurring between components. Thermodynamic properties of these systems can provide valuable information about structural interactions. Th...

three new rimantadine schiff bases (rsbs) were prepared, and then the interaction of rsbs with bovine serum albumin (bsa) was investigated using fluorescence, synchronous fluorescence, uv-vis absorption spectroscopy under physiological conditions. the results showed that the three rsbs effectively quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of bsa via static quenching. binding constant (ka), number of ...
