Using point-functionalized carbon nanotube devices, we demonstrate continuous, multihour monitoring of a single carboxylate group interacting with its immediate environment. The conductance of the nanotube device directly transduces single-molecule attachments and detachments in the presence of the carboxylate-selective reagent 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC)....

Oseltamivir is a substrate of P-glycoprotein, an efflux drug transporter encoded by ABCB1. The objective of this study was to assess the role of ABCB1 (c.1236C>T, c.2677G>T/A, and c.3435C>T) polymorphisms in the pharmacokinetics of oseltamivir and its active metabolite, oseltamivir carboxylate in humans. Nineteen healthy male subjects were enrolled, and their ABCB1 polymorphisms were evaluated....

A triptycene-based bis(benzoxazole) diacid ligand H(2)L2(Ph4) bearing sterically encumbering groups was synthesized. Treatment of H(2)L2(Ph4) with Fe(OTf)(3) afforded a C(2)-symmetric trinuclear iron(III) complex, [NaFe(3)(L2(Ph4))(2)(μ(3)-O)(μ-O(2)CCPh(3))(2)(H(2)O)(3)](OTf)(2) (8). The triiron core of this complex adopts the well known "basic iron acetate" structure where the heteroleptic car...

The itle compound, [Ca(C(6)H(3)ClNO(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)](n), contains polymeric chains extending along [100] that are generated by inversion centres. The Ca(2+) ions are bridged by 2-chloronicotinate groups and exhibit an eight-coordination by six carboxylate O atoms of four different 2-chloronicotinate ligands and two O atoms of water molecules. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯O, O-...

Relative interaction strengths between cations (X = Li (+), Na (+), K (+), NH 4 (+)) and anionic carboxylate groups of acetate and glycine in aqueous solution are determined. These model systems mimic ion pairing of biologically relevant cations with negatively charged groups at protein surfaces. With oxygen 1s X-ray absorption spectroscopy, we can distinguish between spectral contributions fro...

The crystal and molecular structures of 4-ethyl-3,5-dimethylpyrrole-2-carbaldehyde, C10H15NO, (I), benzyl 3,5-dimethylpyrrole-2-carboxylate, C14H15NO2, (II), benzyl 4-acetyl-3,5-dimethylpyrrole-2-carboxylate, C16H17NO3, (III), dimethyl 3,5-dimethylpyrrole-2,4-dicarboxylate, C10H13NO4, (IV), 4-ethyl-3,5-dimethyl-2-(p-tosylacetyl)pyrrole, C17H21NO3S, (V), and ethyl 4-(2-ethoxycarbonyl-2-hydroxyac...

A new 2D coordination polymer Co3(OH)2(pa)2(ina)2 (1, pa = 3-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl) propanoic carboxylate, ina = isonicotinate) contained uncommon, linear Co(ii) trimers of mixed Td-Oh-Td geometries, exhibits spin canting below 20 K. Such magnetic behavior mainly arises from the Dzyaloshinski-Moriya interaction from the anisotropic, mixed geometries trimeric Co(II) ions to the crimpled 2D netwo...

18O labeling studies on the catechol 1,2-dioxygenase-catalyzed oxidative cleavage of pyrogallol demonstrate that the enzyme functions both as a dioxygenase and a monooxygenase in this reaction. Two products are observed, 2-pyrone-6-carboxylic acid, 99% singly labeled at the carboxylate, and 2-hydroxy-cis,cis-muconic acid, 74% doubly labeled (one 18O at each carboxylate) and 24% single labeled (...

Two unique adducts of an oxozinc carboxylate cluster with H(2)O and THF were isolated and structurally characterized, [Zn(4)(μ(4)-O)(O(2)CR)(6)(H(2)O)(THF)]·2(THF) and [Zn(4)(μ(4)-O)(O(2)CR')(6)(THF)(3)] (where R = benzoate and R' = 9-antracenecarboxylate anion). The study shows that the zinc centers of the Zn(4)O core can easily form unique coordination environments without breaking of the Zn-...

A photochemical cycloaddition reaction of methyl 2-pyrone-5-carboxylate with methacrylonitrile mainly gave a [4 + 2] cycloadduct, assigned as methyl endo-8-cyano-exo-8-methyl-3-oxo-2-oxabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-ene-6-carboxylate, whose structure was determined by an X-ray diffraction study. The formation of the cycloadduct was reasonably explained by considering a biradical intermediate having a les...
