It has been demonstrated that a large amount of thiamine is excreted in the urine without degradation when the vitamin is subcutaneously injected. On the other hand, a relatively small amount of thiothiamine appears in the urine, when it is given by injection, suggesting the in vivo decomposition of thiothiamine. However, in the case of oral administration, thiamine is largely excreted in the f...

The molecules of the title compound, C(12)H(6)N(2)S(4), lie on centres of symmetry. The thiophene and thiazole rings are almost planar and their planes make a dihedral angle of 1.68 (8) degrees. In the crystal structure, there is a relatively short intermolecular S...S contact distance of 3.5786 (9) A.

Charge transport properties of thiophene, thiazole and thiazolothiazole based oligomers have been studied using electronic structure calculations. The charge transport parameters such as charge transfer integral and site energy are calculated through matrix elements of Kohn-Sham Hamiltonian. The reorganization energy for the presence of excess positive and negative charges and rate of charge tr...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [CdCl(2)(C(7)H(10)N(2)O(2)S)(2)], contains two complex molecules with similar configurations. The Cd(II) atoms are each six-coordinated by two thiazole N and two carbonyl O atoms from the 2-(2-amino-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)acetate ligand, and by two Cl(-) anions in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. In the crystal, intra- and inter-molecular N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bo...

Solutions of 5-N-arylaminothiazoles containing pyridyl groups exhibited clear halochromism and halofluorism upon addition of Brønsted and Lewis acids. The addition of triflic acid to solutions of 5-N-arylaminothiazoles in Et2O induced bathochromic shifts of the absorption and emission bands. DFT calculations suggested that the spectral changes arise from the protonation of the pyridyl group of ...

As part of our project devoted to the synthesis of heterocycles including thiazole rings, some new 5-arylidene-2-thioxo-3-N-arylthiazolidin-4-ones were synthesized by Knoevenagel condensation. An interesting feature of these compounds is that their chirality is induced by that of their 3-N-(2-alkyloxyaryl)-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one precursors, which in turn is due to the presence of a C2 axis o...

There are other factors which might be studied in relation to the beneficial effect of excess thiazole in the presence of limiting amounts of thiamin or molecularly equivalent quantities of its intermediates. However, it appears clear that the thiazole effect exists under many variations of the conditions under which Phycomyces might be grown in laboratory practice. This is important in the use...

New series of hydrazones 5-18 were synthesized, in good yields, by reacting 4-methyl-2-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)thiazole-5-carbohydrazide with differently substituted benzaldehyde. The resulting compounds were characterized via elemental analysis, physico-chemical and spectral data. An antimicrobial screening was done, using Gram (+), Gram (-) bacteria and one fungal strain. Tested molecules ...

In order to characterize the structural elements that might play a role in non-covalent DNA binding by the antitumor antibiotic leinamycin, we have solved the crystal structures of the two leinamycin analogs, methyl (R)-5-[2-[1-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)ethyl]thiazol-4-yl]penta-(E,E)-2,4-dienoate, C(16)H(22)N(2)O(4)S, (II), and 2-methyl-8-oxa-16-thia-3,17-diazabicyclo[12.2.1]heptadeca-(Z,E)-1(1...
