The application of detailed structural data bases has now culminated in the successful design of a new generation of bisanthracyclines that form ultratight DNA complexes [Chaires, J. B., Leng, F., Przewloka, T., Fokt, I., Ling, Y. H., Perez-Soler, R., & Priebe, W. (1997) J. Med. Chem. 40, 261-266]. Daunomycin dimers were designed to bind to DNA in complexes resembling those of monomers intercal...

Clickable ligands like N,N'-bis((pyridin-2-yl)methyl)prop-2-yn-1-amine (L(1)) and N-((1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methyl)-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)prop-2-yn-1-amine (L(2)) have been used to synthesise a series of manganese(ii) complexes for grafting onto appropriate solid supports. These ligands mimic the 2-His-1-carboxylate facial chelation present in the active site of the manganese-dependent diox...

We examined the phenotype of a herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 mutant (V422) in which the C-terminal acidic activation domain of the virion transactivator VP16 is truncated at residue 422. The efficiency of plaque formation by V422 on Vero cells was boosted by approximately 100-fold by including hexamethylene bis-acetimide (HMBA) in the growth medium, as previously observed with the in1814 VP...

Polyurea microcapsules containing 2-chloro-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)-N-(methoxymethyl)acetamide as the active agent were prepared by the method of interfacial polycondensation with methylene bis(phenyl isocyanate) as the multifunctional isocyanate, hexamethylene diamine as the diamine, and anionic sodium lignin sulphonate as the emulsifying agent . Thermal stability of the microcapsules was investi...

The main aims of this work were the synthesis and characterization iron(III) complexes with a ditopic ligand H2L consisting bis(salicylidene)isothiosemicarbazide moiety N2O2 binding site crown-ether (O6) moiety. A series high-spin complexes, i.e. [FeIIILClBa(CH3OH)(H2O)0.5(ZnCl4)] (1), [FeIIILCl] (2), [FeIIIL(N3)] (3) [(FeIIIL)2O] (4), synthesized. characterized by mass spectrometry, IR UV-vis ...

Synthesis routes to diphenyl hydantoin derivatives in the presence of benzils; 4,4-dimethylbenzil , 4-methylbenzil 4,4-bromobenzil 4-dimethylaminbenzoin and 4-amin-4-nitrobenzoin ure- give condensation benzil urea allowed by benzylic rearrangement.

In the title compound, C(15)H(17)ClN(2)O(4)S, the atoms in the hydantoin ring are coplanar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.006 Å). The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds which link the mol-ecules into centrosymmetric dimers. The dihedral angle subtended by the 4-chloro-phenyl group with the plane passing through the hydantoin unit is 82.98 (4)°. The cyclo-hexyl ring a...
