Successful implementation of ultrasound irradiation for the rapid synthesis of a novel series of 3-[1-(4-substituted-5-(aryldiazenyl)thiazol-2-yl)hydrazono)ethyl]-2H-chromen-2-ones 5a-h, via reactions of 2-(1-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)ethylidene) thiosemicarbazide (2) and the hydrazonoyl halides 3(4), was demonstrated. Also, a new series of 5-arylidene-2-(2-(1-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)ethylidene)hyd...

using ab initio calculations, the hydrogen desorption from magnesium hydride (mgh2) was studied. we presented the calculated nuclear quadrupole coupling constants (nqccs) of hydrogen atom in various systems of mgh2. the effect of interactions of some metal atoms as well as boron atom with mgh2 host matrix; (mgh2+m) nanostructures (m=al, ti, v, fe, ni and b); were studied and 2h-nqccs were calcu...

UNLABELLED We describe a novel probabilistic approach to estimating errors in two-hybrid (2H) experiments. Such experiments are frequently used to elucidate protein-protein interaction networks in a high-throughput fashion; however, a significant challenge with these is their relatively high error rate, specifically, a high false-positive rate. We describe a comprehensive error model for 2H dat...

BACKGROUND New diagnostic criteria for diabetes based on fasting blood glucose (FBG) level were approved by the American Diabetes Association. The impact of using FBG only has not been evaluated thoroughly. The fasting and the 2-hour glucose (2h-BG) criteria were compared with regard to the prediction of mortality. METHODS Existing baseline data on glucose level at fasting and 2 hours after a...

Intrinsic deuterium-induced isotope effects have been measured and analyzed for compounds having one or two phenyl groups specifically labelled at different positions in a molecule. Some typical examples of directional and orientational dependence of the effects have been given. Different magnitudes of isotope effects that are transmitted in opposite directions have been observed. Thus, in p-2H...

To search for novel compounds with potent anti-angiogenic activity, a series of N(1)-(substituted benzyl)-3-(4-methylphenyl)-1H-indazoles (16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32) and N(2)-(substituted benzyl)-3-(4-methylphenyl)-2H-indazoles (17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, and 33) were synthesized. The structures of these regioisomers were established by IR, UV, and NMR spectral data. 3-(4-Methylph...

Synthesis of 4-[(2/4-chloro-/2,3-dichloro-/2/4-bromo-/2,4-dinitro-/4-nitrophenyl) anilinemethyl]6-t-butyl-2H-1-benzopyran-2-ones have been carried out. Synthesized compounds were characterized by 1HNMR, IR and other physical and analytical data. All of the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antifungal activity against Aspergillus awamori and Sclerotium rolfsii and antibacterial acti...

A small series of tetrahydroindazoles was prepared, starting from 2-acetylcyclohexanone and different hydrazines using reflux and a focused microwave reactor. Microwave irradiation (MW) favored the formation of the desired products with improved yields and shortened reaction times. This is a simple and green method for the synthesis of substituted tetrahydroindazole derivatives. The in vitro an...

20S-dihydroprotopanaxatriol (2H-PPT) is a derivative of protopanaxatrol from ginseng. Unlike other components from Panax ginseng, the pharmacological activity of this compound has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we investigated the modulatory activity of 2H-PPT on the cellular responses of monocytes and macrophages to understand its immunoregulatory actions. 2H-PPT strongly upregulate...

A curved spiral antenna above a finite hollow conducting cylinder is analyzed using the method of moments. The effects of cylinder length 2H and cylinder radius rcy on the radiation characteristics of the spiral are evaluated. As 2H increases, the cross-polarization component of the radiation field in the broadside direction decreases to a constant value (approximately 18 dB). When 2H is greate...
