Recently it has been demonstrated that the amino acid, ornithine, is an efficient precursor of the pyrrolidine ring of nicotine in the tobacco plant (1,2). Although there is considerable evidence that ornithine and glutamie acid may give rise to the pyrrolidine ring of proline through a common intermediate in animal systems (3) and in microorganisms (4), there has been little study of this meta...

The structure of the title mol-ecule, C16H19N5O7, is mainly determined by the steric effect of a bulky 2,4,6-trinitro-phenyl group attached to the N atom of a pyrrolidine ring. Both pyrrolidine rings adopt an envelope conformation, with one of the methylene C atoms as the flap in each case, and the N-C-C-N torsion angle along the bond connecting the two pyrrolidine rings is -174.9 (2)°. The ben...

Apoptosis has a central role in the pathogenesis of many human diseases, one of which is cancer. One of the most important strategies to regulate apoptosis is via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. It has been shown that inhibition of proteasomal chymotrypsin-like activity is a strong apoptosis-inducing stimulus and that actively proliferating cancer cells are more sensitive to proteasome inhibi...

Objective: Anti-cancer drug research plays an important role for chemotherapeutic treatments in various types of cancer. Pyrolidine derived compounds have been reported by many researchers to be a potent anti-cancer compound. It is aimed investigate the effects pyrolidine-derived that are thought new candidates with antiproliferative activity on DLD-1 and CCD-18CO cell lines. Material Methods: ...

The proprotein convertases are believed to be responsible for the proteolytic maturation of a large number of peptide hormone precursors. Although potent furin inhibitors have been identified, thus far, no small-molecule prohormone convertase 1/3 or prohormone convertase 2 (PC2) inhibitors have been described. After screening 38 small-molecule positional scanning libraries against recombinant m...

We investigated the role of nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) in the cytokine-mediated induction of cyclooxygenase-2 activity in the paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus (PVN), a critical cardiovascular and autonomic center, in rats with heart failure (HF). Sprague-Dawley rats underwent coronary artery ligation to induce HF or sham surgery. HF rats were treated orally for 6 weeks with vehicl...

The mol-ecular conformation of the title compound, C41H29ClN4O3S, is stabilized by intra-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. The thia-zole ring adopts an envelope conformation with the N atom as the flap, while the pyrrolidine ring has a twisted conformation on the N-C bond involving the spiro C atom. The β la-ctam ring makes dihedral angles of 39.74 (15) and 16.21 (16)° with the mean pl...

A series of redox-active perylene tetracarboxylic diimide (PTCDI) derivatives have been synthesized and studied by electrochemical cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical scanning tunnelling microscopy break junction techniques. These PTCDI molecules feature the substitution of pyrrolidine at the bay (1,7-) position of perylene and are named pyrrolidine-PTCDIs. These moieties exhibit a small ban...

The gold(I)/silver(I)-cocatalyzed cascade intermolecular N-Michael addition/intramolecular hydroalkylation reaction offers a simple and efficient method for the synthesis of pyrrolidine derivatives in moderate to excellent product yields and with moderate to good diastereoselectivities. The reaction conditions and the substrate scope of this reaction are examined, and a possible mechanism invol...
