Heparin, carboxy-group-reduced heparin, several sulphated monosaccharides and disaccharides formed from heparin, and a tetrasaccharide prepared from chondroitin sulphate were treated at 100 degrees C with hydrazine containing 1% hydrazine sulphate for periods sufficient to cause complete N-deacetylation of the N-acetylhexosamine residues. Under these hydrazinolysis conditions both the N-sulphat...

A series of hydrazones were synthesized by condensing substituted hydrazides with appropriate carbonyl compounds. The chemical structures the compounds confirmed infrared, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, carbon-13 mass ((4-chloro-phenylamino)-acetic acid [1-(4-chlorophenyl)-phenyl-methylene]-hydrazide and (2,4-dichloro-phenylamino)-acetic (3-oxo- 1,3-dihydro-indole-2-ylidene)-hydrazide only)...

The degradation mechanisms of natural and artificial hydrazides have been elucidated. Here we screened and isolated bacteria that utilize the acylhydrazide 4-hydroxybenzoic acid 1-phenylethylidene hydrazide (HBPH) from soils. Physiological and phylogenetic studies identified one bacterium as Microbacterium sp. strain HM58-2, from which we purified intracellular hydrazidase, cloned its gene, and...

Isonicotinic acid hydrazide (isoniazid; INH) inhibition of mycolic acid synthesis was studied by using cell extracts from both INH-sensitive and -resistant strains of Mycobacterium aurum. The cell extract of the INH-sensitive strain was inhibited by INH, while the preparation from the INH-resistant strain was not. This showed that the INH resistance of mycolic acid synthesis was not due to a di...

In the reaction of hydrazide of 3,4-dimethoxyphenylacetic acid (1) with isothiocyanate the respective thiosemicarbazide derivatives (2) were obtained. Further cyclization with 2% NaOH led to the formation of 3-[(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)methyl]-4-substituted-1,2,4-triazoline-5-thiones (3). The structures of all new products were confirmed by analytical and spectroscopic methods. All compounds were s...

A Novel compound namely N-(Nicotinoyl) 3,5 dimethyl-4-(N-4-sulfamoylazo)-1,2-diazole has been synthesised by two step processes. Synthesis of N-4-sulphamoylphenylhydrazono-3,5-dimethyl propane1,3-dione and sulphonamide, which interacting with Nicotinic acid hydrazide to form final compound. The newely synthesised compound N-(nicotinoyl)-3,5-dimethyl 4-(N-4-sulfamoyl phenyl azo) 1,2-diazoles was...

The synthesis of dipyrazolo[1,5-a:4',3'-c]pyridines is described. Easily obtainable 5-alkynylpyrazole-4-carbaldehydes, p-toluenesulfonyl hydrazide, and an aldehyde or ketone containing an α-hydrogen atom were reacted in a silver triflate catalyzed multicomponent reaction affording new tricyclic compounds with a dipyrazolo[1,5-a:4',3'-c]pyridine core. Detailed NMR spectroscopic investigations ((...

A bivalent dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC) system has been designed to selectively target members of the homodimeric glutathione-S-transferase (GST) enzyme family. The dynamic covalent libraries (DCLs) use aniline-catalysed acylhydrazone exchange between bivalent hydrazides and glutathione-conjugated aldehydes and the bis-hydrazides act as linkers to bridge between each glutathione binding sit...
