Activation of tetrahydrofuran with 2-((Fluoroalkyl)thio)Benzothiazolium reagents

AROMATIZATION OF 1,4-DIHYDROPYRIDINES WITH FREE RADICAL REAGENTS

Oxidation of different types of 1,4-dihydropyridines with diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPP) and benzoyl peroxide (Bz2O2) as free radical oxidizing agents to pyridine derivatives is reported and a mechanism for this oxidation is also proposed.

PROBING THE ACTIVE SITE OF RHODANESE WITH DISULFIDE REAGENTS

Synthesis, Reactions and Antioxidant Activity of 5-(3', 4'-dihydroxy-tetrahydrofuran-2'-yl)-2-methyl-3-carbohydrazide

In this manuscript, we describe the synthesis of the carbohydrazide 2. Acid-catalyzed condensation with several carbonyl compounds to afford the corresponding carbohydrazide derivatives 3-12. Their acetylation afforded the corresponding acetyl derivatives 13-22. Oxidative cyclization of O-acetyl derivatives 19-22 afforded the corresponding 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives 23-2...

Regulation of 2-carboxy-D-arabinitol 1-phosphate phosphatase: activation by glutathione and interaction with thiol reagents.

2-Carboxy-D-arabinitol 1-phosphate (CA1P) phosphatase de- grades CA1P, an inhibitor associated with the regulation of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase in numerous plant species. CA1P phosphatase purified from Phaseolus vulgaris was partially inactivated by oxidizing conditions during dialysis in air-equilibrated buffer. Phosphatase activity could then be stimulated 1.3-fold by dithio...

Surface Coating of Red Blood Cells with Monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol) Activated with Two Different Reagents

Methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG) with molecular mass of 5 kDa activated with succinimidyl carbonate and cyanuric chloride, separately was covalently attached to human red blood cells (RBCs). Inhibition of agglutination by blood-type specific antisera (anti-D) was employed to evaluate the effect of the polymer coating. The remaining single cells after incubation with anti-D sera were cou...
