The kinetics of the degradation of the inhibitors of the nitric oxide synthesis, NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester and NG-nitro-L-arginine, were examined in human amniotic fluid and umbilical vein blood. The reaction rate constants were calculated or estimated using the time-controlled concentration course of both substances. These concentrations were measured by high-performance liquid chromato...

The redox chemistry of different nitro compounds of biological significance is focused to understand how the reduction of the nitro group can play an active role in several aspects as: electroanalytical determinations, free radical generation and stability and free radical reactivity. We have focused our studies to a lot of pharmaceuticals belonging mainly to the following families: calcium ant...

A nitrated guanine nucleotide, 8-nitroguanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-nitro-cGMP), is formed via nitric oxide (NO) and causes protein S-guanylation. However, intracellular 8-nitro-cGMP levels and mechanisms of formation of 8-nitro-cGMP and S-guanylation are yet to be identified. In this study, we precisely quantified NO-dependent formation of 8-nitro-cGMP in C6 glioma cells via liquid c...

polyethylene glycol was easily grafted to silica gel and used as a solid–liquid phase transfer catalyst in the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds. this silica-grafted polyethylene glycol is proved to be an efficient heterogeneous catalyst in the reduction of nitroarenes to the corresponding aromatic amines with zinc powder in water. the reduction reactions proceeded efficiently with excellen...

A sodium salt of 2-(fur-2-yl)-6-nitro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7-one as a close structural analogue ZM-241385 was obtained. This heterocycle can serve an effector for A2a adenosine receptors and possesses antiseptic activity. The structures compounds were confirmed based on the data 1H, 13C NMR spectroscopy, IR elemental analysis. structure 2-furyl-6-nitro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7...

The ring system in the title compound, C(14)H(4)N(4)O(12), is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation of the carbon atoms = 0.085 Å); the two hydr-oxy groups form intra-molecular hydrogen bonds to the same carbonyl O atom. The nitro groups are twisted with respect to the mean plane of the ring system by 74.3 (1) (1-nitro), 42.3 (3) (3-nitro), 45.7 (3) (6-nitro) and 66.9 (1)° (8-nitro).

The title compound, C(2)H(8)N(+)·C(6)H(4)NO(3) (-)·C(6)H(5)NO(3), was synthesized from dimethyl-amine and 4-nitro-phenol in an overall yield of 85%. The dihdral angles between the nphenyl rings and their attached nitro groups are 5.7 (6) and 2.5 (7)°. In the crystal, there are strong hydrogen bonds between the ammonium group and the nitro-phenol and nitro-phenolate O atoms, and between the nitr...
