1-[2-(2,4-Dimethyl-phenylsulfanyl)-phenyl]-piperazine (Lu AA21004) is a novel antidepressant that is currently in late-stage clinical development for major depressive disorder. In the present study, the metabolism of Lu AA21004 was investigated using human liver microsomes (HLM), human liver S9 fraction, and recombinant enzymes. Lu AA21004 was found in vitro to be oxidized to a 4-hydroxy-phenyl...

Objective(s):Involvement of tyrosinase in the synthesis of melanin and cell signaling pathway has made it an attractive target in the search for therapeutic inhibitors for treatment of different skin hyperpigmentation disorders and melanoma cancers. Materials and Methods: In the present study, we conducted a comprehensive kinetic analysis to understand the mechanisms of inhibition imposed by 2-...

two poly(oxyethylene) derivatives 1.10-bis(2'-benzoic acid)-1,4,7,1-tetradecane (l1) and 1,7-bis(2'-benzoic acid)-1,4,7-trioxaheptane (l2) were used as suitable ionophores for the preparation of potassium-selective pvc-membrane electrodes. the resulting electrodes based on l1 and l2 exhibit linear responses to the activity of k+ ions within the concentration ranges of 3.1´10-5 -2.7´10-2 m and 2...

A new approach to protodecarboxylation is described that enhances the substrate scope for benzoic acids. The reaction uses oxidative radical conditions to decarboxylate a variety of acids in acetonitrile.

The benzoic and cinnamic acids found in forages were tested for their inhibitory effects on digestion of cellulose and hemicellulose by mixed cultures of rumen microorganisms in vitro. Rate and extent of cellulose digestion with the addition of cinnamic acids were determined. The benzoic acids and aldehydes were also compared for their inhibitory potential. Of the benzoic acid derivatives, only...

In the title compound, C(25)H(34)O(4), one n-hexyl chain of the hex-yloxy group adopts a fully extended all-trans conformation, and the other n-hexyl chain displays disorder with site occupancies of 0.470 (3) and 0.530 (3). The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 44.5 (3)°. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds form dimers via crystallographic inversion centres.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(14)H(13)NO(5)S, contains two independent mol-ecules in which the dihedral angles between the aromatic rings are 83.45 (11) and 86.65 (9)°. In the crystal, the independent mol-ecules are connected by N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a double-chain structure along [401]. A weak π-π stacking inter-action with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.750...

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(12)H(9)NO(2), is not planar, the benzene and pyridine rings making a dihedral angle of 32.14 (7)°. The carb-oxy group is slightly twisted with respect to the benzene ring by 11.95 (10)°. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link neighboring mol-ecules into infinite chains along the c axis.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(13)H(9)ClO(3), the mol-ecules form classical O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonded carb-oxy-lic acid dimers. These dimers are linked by C-H⋯π inter-actions into a three-dimensional network. The benzene rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 77.8 (1)°.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(14)H(12)O(4), the mol-ecules form classical O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonded carb-oxy-lic acid dimers. These dimers are linked by C-H⋯pi; inter-actions into a three-dimensional network. The benzene rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 69.6 (3)°.
