Group 4 metal complexes [M(eta(5)-C(5)Me(4)SiMe(2)-eta(1)-N-2R)(NMe(2))(2)] (R = pyridine, pyrazine, pyrimidine, thiazole, M = Ti; R = pyridine, thiazole; M = Zr) containing the tetramethylcyclopentadienyl-dialkylsilyl bridged amidinato as pendant ligand, were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, solution (1)H, (13)C and (15)N NMR spectroscopy and experimental (13)C and (15)N CP...

Isotropic magnetic shielding distributions in the regions of space surrounding oxazole, imidazole, and thiazole are used to investigate aromaticity and bonding in these five-membered heterocycles with two heteroatoms. This is achieved by constructing HF-GIAO and MP2-GIAO (Hartree-Fock and second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory with gauge-including atomic orbitals) isotropic shielding p...

A single specimen of Hexabranchus sanguineus, a nudibranch from the Indo-Pacific that is known to sequester kabiramides B and C and other trisoxazole macrolides, yielded new kabiramide analogues, 9-desmethylkbiramide B and 33-methyltetrahydrohalichondramide, and two new unexpected thiazole-containing cyclic peptides in submicromolar amounts. The structures of these cyclic peptides were determin...

The application of parallel synthesis to generate combinatorial libraries as an efficient means of creating pharmaceutical “drug-like leads” has gained considerable interest.1,2 By accelerating the synthesis and screening of an ever larger number of synthetic analogues, combinatorial chemistry has greatly impacted the drug discovery process.3 Despite this success, compounds originating from nat...

DNA is the molecular target for many of the drugs that are used in cancer therapeutics. Of particular interest are the minor groove binders, a group of DNA interactive agents that bind to specific regions of the genome and show significant toxicity towards cancer cells [1]. Alkylating agents induce permanent DNA damage and exhibit potent antitumor activity. A range of alkylating agents is known...

Oxidative stress is one of the common problems seen in a variety diseases. Chalcones and particular heteroaryl chalcones had reported with promising antioxidant activities. Hence, present work, we activity twenty thiazole ring bearing chalcone derivatives (1-20). Among tested compounds, compounds 17, 19 20 containing 2-pyridinyl, 3-pyridinyl 2-thiazolyl scaffolds showed superior than standard t...
