Acinar cell tumors of the pancreas are uncommon and they include acinar cell carcinomas, acinar cell cystadenocarcinomas and acinar cell cystadenomas (ACCs) (1-5). These tumors are composed of typical round or cylindrical cells with eosinophilic periodic acid stain (PAS)positive cytoplasmic granules. On immunohistochemical analysis, they express pancreatic enzymes, and electron microscopy demon...

In recent years there is a tremendous increase of inflammatory cases, leading to the design and development of newer anti-inflammatory agents. The reaction of 2-substituted phenyl-3-chloroacetamido quinazolin-4(3H)-ones with various 5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol and 5-(pyridine-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2thiol gave N-(4-Oxo-2-substituted phenylquinazolin-3(4H)-yl)-2-[(5-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-...

In the title triazolothia-diazine derivative, C(20)H(16)N(6)O(3)S {systematic name: 3-(4-methyl-phen-yl)-4-[3-(phen-oxy-meth-yl)-7H-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thia-diazin-6-yl]-1,2,3-oxadiazol-3-ium-5-olate}, an S(6) ring motif is generated by an intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond. The 3,6-dihydro-1,3,4-thia-diazine ring adopts a twist-boat conformation. The dihedral angle between the 1,2,3-o...

IN THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: 2,3-dibromo-3-(2-bromo-phen-yl)-1-(5-oxido-3-phenyl-1,2,3-oxadiazol-3-ium-4-yl)propan-1-one], C(17)H(11)Br(3)N(2)O(3), the oxadiazole ring is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.003 (1) Å. The -CHBr-CHBr- chain and bromo-phenyl ring are disordered over two sets of sites with a refined occupany ratio of 0.756 (5):0.244 (5). The central oxadia...

The increased activity of phase-II-detoxification enzymes, such as quinone reductase (QR) and glutation S-transferase (GST), correlates with protection against chemically induced carcinogenesis. Herein we studied 11 different chemotypes, pyrazole, 1,2,4-oxadiazole, 1,2,5-oxadiazole, 1,2,3-thiadiazole, 1,2,4-thiazole, 1,3,4-oxathiazole, thienyl hydrazone, α,β-unsaturated-oxime, α,β-unsaturated-N...

A series of 2-(substituted-phenyl)-5-(N,N-diphenylaminomethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles (3-15) were synthesized. The compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory, analgesic, ulcerogenic and lipid peroxidation actions. The percentage inhibition in edema at different time intervals indicated that compounds 8, 11, 12, 14 and 15 exhibited good anti-inflammatory potential. The results illustrate th...

The structure-activity relationship (SAR) for the newly discovered oxadiazole class of antibiotics is described with evaluation of 120 derivatives of the lead structure. This class of antibiotics was discovered by in silico docking and scoring against the crystal structure of a penicillin-binding protein. They impair cell-wall biosynthesis and exhibit activities against the Gram-positive bacter...

A series of five-membered heterocyclic rings were synthesized by the reaction between benzoyl chloride and various chlolro-nitro-benzoyl chlorides and semi carbazide to form (C1- C7) compounds and was tested for their anti-inflammatory activity determined by rat-paw-oedema method. All the synthesis compounds have been characterized by (1)HNMR, IR and Mass spectral data. The compounds were purif...

The syntheses of two new ligands, 3,4-di(2-pyridyl)-1,2,5-oxadiazole (dpo) and 3,4-di(2-pyridyl)-1,2,5-thiadiazole (dpt), are described. Complexes with palladium and copper have seven-membered chelate rings with coordination through the two pyridine nitrogens, whereas in the silver nitrate complex of dpt the ligand acts as a bridge between metal centres. Studies of the mononuclear ruthenium com...

In current study, the synthesis and characterization of novel thermally stable polyimides (PIs) containing an 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety based on a diamine, i.e. 2,5-bis(3-amino-4-methyl benzene)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (BAMO), have been reported. The polymers were characterized using FT-IR and elemental analysis (CHN). Thermal and mechanical behaviours of the prepared PIs were studied by thermo-gravimet...
