warded as a promising molecule because of its broad spectrum pharmacological activities like antitubercular, antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, anti-HIV, anthelmintic, anti-inflammatory and antihypertensive activities. Imidazoles are one of the oldest and potent heterocyclic compounds having antimicrobial activities. Structure activity relationship studies of quinazolinone ring system revea...

THE TITLE COMPOUND (SYSTEMATIC NAME 7-oxo-3-phenyl-2,6-dioxabicyclo-[3.3.1]nonan-4-yl acetate), C(15)H(16)O(5), is a styryllactone derivative which was isolated from Goniothalamus macrophyllus. The mol-ecule has two fused rings consisting of a tetra-hydro-2H-pyran and a lactone ring, with the benzene ring and the acetyl group attached to the tetra-hydro-2H-pyran ring. The tetra-hydro-2H-pyran r...

Lasing action in an electrically pumped organic laser device is demonstrated with a high quality factor (Q) microcavity structure formed by two high-reflective and low-loss electrical contacts. A 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-i-propyl-6-(1,1,7,7-tetramethyljulolidyl-9-enyl)-4H-pyran-doped tris(8-hydroxy-quinoline)aluminum (Alq(3)) film serves as the active layer. A single longitudinal lasing cavity mo...

Polyketide 13 [=2-hydroxy-5-((6-hydroxy-4-oxo-4H-pyran-2-yl)methyl)-2- propylchroman-4-one] and three related known compounds 7, 9 and 11 were obtained and structurally characterized from Streptomyces sundarbansensis strain, an endophytic actinomycete isolated from the Algerian marine brown algae Fucus sp. Compound 13 was obtained as the major metabolite from optimized culture conditions, by us...

Electrochemical synthesis suggested a mild, green and atom-efficient route to interesting useful molecules, thus avoiding harsh chemical oxidizing reducing agents used in traditional synthetic methods. Organic electrochemistry offers an excellent alternative conventional methods of organic creates modern tool for carrying out synthesis, including cascade multicomponent ones. In this research, n...

The chemiluminescence of stimulated cells with phorbol myristate acetate and the production of nitric oxide after stimulation with lipopolisaccharide in the presence of the parent compounds FAA (flavone-8-acetic acid = (4-oxo-2phenyl-4H-chromen-8-yl)acetic acid), XAA (xanthone-4-acetic acid = (9-oxo-9Hxanthen-4-yl)acetic acid), and appropriate xanthone derivatives (1–7) was determined. Also the...

Abstract Background : It is a practice to use traditional medicine for curing various illnesses in West Africa. Acacia hebecladoides , albida and Gmelina arborea were selected based on their belief treating ailments such as: hallucinations, inflammation tuberculosis. The study sought validate the antitubercular activity, antioxidant properties phytochemical components of extracts fractions leav...

Several 4-arylidene-2-phenyl-1-(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl)-1H-imidazol-5(4H)-ones (4a-q), N-(4-benzylidene-5-oxo-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydroimidazol-1-yl)-4-chlorobenzamides (5a-o) and N-(4-benzylidene-5-oxo-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydroimidazol-1-yl)-2,4-dichlorobenzamides (6a-m) were prepared. All newly synthesized compounds have been tested for their antibacterial activity against gram (+)ve and gram (-)ve bact...
