Reductions of imine compounds 2-methoxy-N-(1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidene)ethanamine (L1), 2-methoxy-N-((pyridin-2-yl)methylene)ethanamine (L2), N,N-diethyl-N-((pyridin-2-yl)methylene)ethane-1,2-diamine (L3) and 2-((pyridin-2-yl)methyleneamino)ethanol (L4) using NABH4 produced their corresponding amine analogues N-(2-methoxyethyl)-1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethanamine (L1a), 2-methoxy-N-((pyridin-2-yl)methyl)...

A series of di-(m-pyridyl)-urea ligands were prepared and characterized with respect to their conformations by NOESY experiments and crystallography. Methyl substitution in different positions of the pyridine rings provides control over the position of the pyridine N atoms relative to the urea carbonyl group. The ligands were used to self-assemble metallo-supramolecular M(2)L(2) and M(3)L(3) ma...

A series of di-alkoxo bridged Cr(iii) dimers have been synthesised using pyridine alcohol ligands. The structures fall into four general categories and are of formula: [Cr2(OMe)2(pic)4]·½MeOH·½Et2O (1), [Cr2(hmp)2(pic)2X2] (where X = Cl (2), Br (3)), [Cr2(L)2Cl4(A)2]·2S (where L = hmp, A = H2O and S = Et2O (4); L = hmp, A = pyridine and S = pyridine (5); L = hmp, A = 4-picoline and no S (6); L ...

We prepared cocrystals of DL-2-Hydroxy-2-phenylacetic acid (D, L-H2ma) with the pyridinecarboxamide isomers, picolinamide (pic) and isonicotinamide (inam). They were characterized by elemental analysis, single crystal powder X-ray, IR spectroscopy 1H 13C NMR. The molecular structures (pic)-(D-H2ma) (1), (nam)-(L-H2ma) (2) (inam)-(L-H2ma) (3) studied. packing is stabilized primarily hydrogen bon...

BACKGROUND Ralstonia solanacearum, one of the most important bacterial diseases on plants, is a devastating, soil-borne plant pathogen with a global distribution and an unusually wide host range. In order to discover new bioactive molecules and pesticides acting on tobacco bacterial wilt, we sought to combine the active structure of hydrazone and pyridine together to design and synthesize a ser...

The most widely distributed substituted pyridine compounds in living systems are the pyridine nucleotides. The nicotinamide moiety (Fig. 1, I) of these compounds arises from the indole nucleus of tryptophan in animals, (1, 2) and Neurospora (3, 4), but not in higher plants (5-7) and certain bacteria (8). Pyridine compounds which might be used to study the biosynthesis of the pyridine nucleus ar...

Interactions of neutral pyridine ligands and anionic benzoate with the metalloporphyrin walls M6L3 nanocages (M = [(tmeda)Pt]2+, L tetra(3-pyridyl)porphyrin-M′, M′ CoII, Co3-1; ZnII, Zn3-1) were evaluated in CD3CN. The binding to simple tetra(N-methyl-3-pyridinium)porphyrin-M′ complexes Co-2 Zn-2 was also evaluated. It found that bind generally similar strength monomeric porphyrins as outer fac...

Transport of representative neutral alpha-amino acids was measured in brain slices after injecting thyroxine into donor rats of various ages from 1 to 23 days old. The hormone did not alter uptake in slices from 1-day-old rats even when treatment was begun on pregnant rats as much as 10 days before delivery. Injecting thyroxine until age 6 days, however, decreased the activity of transport syst...
