Condensation of 3-acetylbenzo[5,6]coumarin (1) with hydrazine-carbodithioate esters and/or thiocarbohydrazide gave the corresponding N-[1-(benzocoumarin-3`-yl)ethylidene]hydrazonecarbodithioate (2a,b) and 1,5-bis[1-(benzocoumarin3`-yl)ethylidene]thiocarbohydrazide (3) respectively. Treatment of 2a with ethanolic ammonia solution and/or amines gave the corresponding thiosemicarbazone derivatives...

Preparation of biological samples for scanning electron microscopy considers fixation, dehydration and drying, such procedures strongly stress the delicate filamentous structure of glycoprotein matrices, due to their extremely hydration state. Therefore, in order to allow the observation of the real microarchitecture of these matrices, a specific technique was developed by us. Mucus covering th...

Evidence is presented that cytoskeletal structures (actin filaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules) can be resolved by scanning electron microscopy after osmium impregnation of biological material, using thiocarbohydrazide as a ligand, followed by critical-point drying. These different classes of filaments or tubules can be identified both as purified protein polymers and as structur...

a series of cyclic analogues of bioactive thiosemicarbazide derivatives have been synthesized as potential antimycobacterial agents. the 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole-5-thione analogues (ia-f) were prepared by heating a mixture of thiocarbohydrzide and appropriate carboxylic acids. reaction of thiocarbohydrazide with γ-ketoesters in the presence of sodium methoxide furnished triazolopyridazine derivat...

Novel organic-inorganic mesoporous luminescent hybrid material N, N'-bis(salicylidene)-thiocarbohydrazide (BSTC-SBA-15) has been obtained by co-condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate and the organosilane in the presence of Pluronic P123 surfactant as a template. N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-thiocarbohydrazide (BSTC) grafted to the coupling agent 3-(triethoxysilyl)-propyl isocyanate (TESPIC) was use...

When a new approach in microscopy is introduced, broad interest is attracted only when the sample preparation procedure is elaborated and the results compared with the outcome of the existing methods. In the work presented here we tested different preparation procedures for focused ion beam (FIB) milling and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of biological samples. The digestive gland epitheliu...
